Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 64: Spending the Day

Rizaldi still could not believe how easily he got permission from his mother to go to Jakarta, he never expected it would be that easy. Then he thought, how foolish he was to think too much about the no-no.

Tomorrow he will leave for Jakarta to follow the training center before starting the knockout phase. So today, he would satisfy himself before going to a city of people, a city he had never visited in his entire life.

So after school. Rizaldi, Derry and Salma spend time at a fast food restaurant that is famous for their very tasty and savory chicken menu. Their jargon is also famous, 'Chicken' so that is often spoken by old colonels who often smile because they already have a lot of treasure.

Although it is relaxing, but Rizaldi does not mean really relaxed. His head was currently filled with nervousness and it could not stop since yesterday. That is because Rizaldi considers too much about this knockout phase.

This is a natural thing experienced by everyone, especially Rizaldi who has just experienced this kind of experience. It was the first moment in his life to feel this way, he was getting a lot of pressure on his shoulders, he was being relied upon by a lot of people and a lot of people's expectations were on his shoulders as well. That's why he got a little carried away.

Derry caught the anxiety of his best friend, he patted Rizaldi on the shoulder several times while giving a few words of encouragement. "Just do the best thing, the business succeeds or not it's just lately. We all rely on you but we all will always support you" he said.

"I must also support you Rizal, even if only here" Salma comforted Rizaldi.

Rizaldi became a little happy, he smiled blushing shyly hearing his two friends who said something that he thought was very embarrassing. Out of nowhere the two of them could say that with such a relaxed face, it was still questioned by Rizaldi.

After spending some time at the fast food restaurant, the three of them went elsewhere. Now they go to the center of the game. The three of them played almost all the games that were in that place. In every place of the game there is a fierce competition between Rizaldi and Derry.

First, the game of basketball. Rizaldi and Derry fought very intense and tight to the point of making other visitors notice them both, in the game Rizaldi was defeated by Derry with a score of 107 to 98.

The second game is shooting zombies. Just like the previous match, the two of them competed very intensely and the crowd paid attention to the match again. In this match Rizaldi managed to beat the score owned by Derry which was 63,450. The Rizaldi score is 118,445.

They both continue to compete fiercely, if Rizaldi loses in that game then in the next game he will definitely win, and vice versa. Until they are in the deciding game that is the arcade game Mortal Kombat.

"This is a 2-round match, who first won 2 times he won" said Salma who suddenly became the judge of their match.

The faces of Rizaldi and Derry turned serious, they were preparing to defeat each other. The audience is also impatient to see the match between the two of them, especially the arcade game Mortal Kombat is a very famous fighting genre game.

Derry confidently chose a character named Shao Khan who immediately made the audience cheer, because the character was known as a character that was difficult to control. Derry chose that character not without reason, he did master every move of the Shao Khan combo.

"Let's mate choose your character" said Derry who is arrogant, he considers whatever is chosen by Rizaldi will certainly be easy to defeat.

Rizaldi still looks relaxed, he started choosing his character and his choice fell to the character who became the main character in the game, Liu Kang.

The audience began to be confused to see the choice of Rizaldi, because indeed the character would not be able to match all the status possessed by Shao Khan. Even Liu Kang was known for characters that did not have much combo moves.

"You're sure buddy, Liu Kang is nothing to Shao Khan about" Derry's getting into.

The game began, Rizaldi immediately gave a fireball attack on Derry that made him hit by stun. After that Rizaldi immediately did alibaba style until Derry could not do anything else and lost in a matter of 12 seconds.

"Wooooooooo! Flawless victory anjir!"

"Shao Khan isn't talking to Liu Kang's alibaba?" the audience was shocked by the incident, as surprised as Derry who did not think he could do anything.

"How can you?" ask Derry who still doesn't believe.

Rizaldi answered him casually. "Game developers never carelessly designate a character to be the main character, neither does Liu Kang!"

Hearing that the audience was boisterous again, the match was getting heated up. Derry was still curious about Shao Khan so he went back to choosing Shao Khan. As for Rizaldi, he chose a different character from the previous one. Rizaldi now chooses the character of Kenshi who is a swordsman whose eyes are blind.

Kenshi is a character who has a difficult combo, not many people use that character so when Rizaldi chose Kenshi then it was clear to make the audience so more excited.

"You sure buddy?" Derry asked but after he knew what the answer was, all he did was prepare to fight immediately.

The fight was again done, this time unlike the previous one Derry could not do much. Now Shao Khan's combo managed to do, but Rizaldi did not stay silent, he also replied by doing a combo.

The fight was so fierce, each of them was unwilling to budge against each other. Until at the end when Derry did a combo Shao Khan with a large hammer weapon, Rizaldi managed to deflect it and make a counter movement that was amazingly good so that finally made Rizaldi managed to win the second round.

"Winner Rizaldi!" salma said with a big smile on her face.

Rizaldi just smiled, he looked at Derry who was holding his head because of disbelief defeated by Rizaldi in the Mortal Kombat fight. There is one thing that was not known by Derry before, that Rizaldi did often play that game and really mastered every character that can be used. Derry does not know that Rizaldi is a true gamer, even though Rizaldi has been acquainted with the game since his childhood.

The audience who saw the action of the competition they both came to be satisfied, they were like watching professional E-Sport players because of the actions they did.

"Now can you accompany me? I also want to play once" said Salma who had just witnessed the uniqueness of Rizaldi and Derry.

Rizaldi and Derry agreed, they were even ready to fight Salma in the game he would choose. But unfortunately it was a big mistake they made.

Salma turns out to invite the two of them to play Dance Revolution and beat the two of them in a Dance match. This time Rizaldi and Derry even let Salma to ngedance themselves because they are both very upset because Salma is so great to play dance.

"Until when do we see him dance, man?" ask Derry who can't stand the sight of how great Salma is on the machine for dancing.

"Only until his little heart is happy buddy, only until his little heart is happy" said Rizaldi
