After bidding goodbye to both George and Tiago, Tyler went back to his apartment and took off his clothes while taking a long shower. A few minutes later, he got out and laid on his bed.
"Can I see my rewards?" Tyler asked. He had been thinking about it since he got the notification that he had completed the mission.
The mission was that he should do well and make Adi Hutter consider including him to the matchday squad. He thought he didn’t do enough, but it turned out that his one moment of magic managed to make Adi Hutter have doubts about making him train with the under eighteens.
Not that Tyler was complaining though, he needed to improve as much as possible and the stat points were going to help him do just that.

Tyler blinked a few times as he stared at the second notification. The second result was a fifty fifty bonus. He thought the system was going to randomly assign it or something, but it looked like the system was going to settle it with a coin toss.
A coin appeared in Tyler’s vision. The coin started spinning all of a sudden and the stopped, the side facing Tyler was... Tails.
"Damnit!" Tyler muttered under his breath. He would have to wait a while longer before he got a new skill.
Even though he was disappointed about not getting the skill, he was still happy about the stat points.
"System, please auto allocate the available stat points". Tyler said. Although there were some stats that he would’ve liked to invest the stat points in, he trusted the system’s judgement.

Tyler smiled when he saw the increase to his stats. He had really come a long way compared to when he just got the system.
Seeing that he had quite a bit of time on his hand, he wore the best clothes he had available, drowned himself in an ocean of cologne and decided to go for a walk.
Coincidentally, he just ’happened to be passing by’ the restaurant that he visited yesterday, the one where Jasmine worked at.
He walked in excited, hoping to be attended to by Jasmine once more, but it was a middle aged man who catered to him for the duration of his meal. As if that wasn’t disappointing enough, Jasmine was nowhere to be found.
After eating the small meal he ordered, and picking up something for Enzo and Tony, Tyler walked out of the restaurant and was making his way back to his apartment. The source of thɪs content is novel⚑fire.net
When he got to the apartment, Enzo and Tony were standing in front of the refrigerator which was opened down. They both stared longingly at the interior which was empty. Even the junk food that they frequently bought was all finished.
"Looks like I came at the right time". Tyler said as he dropped the food on the table in the living room.
As soon as he finished his sentence, Enzo and Tony snapped their head towards him, or rather, towards the nylon that had food inside. In fact, they didn’t even hear what he said, they just heard the rustling of the nylon and looked for the source.
"Man I could kiss your right now". Enzo said as he walked towards the food.
"You’re like my brother man. I love you". Tony said.
After professing their love for Tyler, they turned their attention to the food in front of them and started devouring it, forgetting about Tyler.
Tyler went to his room and did a few routine stretches before settling on his bed and playing with his phone. He texted Jasmine and the pair were in conversation when Tyler got a call from Adi Hutter.
"Gaffer?" Tyler said to the phone as soon as he picked up the call.
"Tyler, you’re seventeen right?" Adi Hutter asked.
"So you didn’t finish your A levels when you were in England?" Adi asked.
"Fuck" Tyler mumbled under his breath. He could already tell where this conversation was going.
"I said no". Tyler lied.
"Alright, so that means that you still have to enroll in our learning program even if it’s just for the rest of the season".
"So how does it work?" Tyler asked, accepting his fate. He thought he was free because he came to a different country with a different educational system.
"Well, I’ve spoken to the club. You’ll be getting a private tutor to teach you things in accordance with the English curriculum and you’ll fly to England when it’s time to write the A levels. It’ll start tomorrow. Every day from 2pm to 6pm".
"Oh, that’s great, thanks". Tyler said.
"I just ruined your mood, didn’t I?" Adi Hutter asked.
"Just a little bit". Tyler said, causing his manager to burst into laughter.
"Alright then, that’s all. Have a good night".
"You too". Tyler replied, with Adi Hutter hanging up as soon as he finished talking.
