After about three minutes of holding his head on the floor trying to stop the pain he was feeling up there, the pain slowly stopped as the goalkeeper slowly sat up on the floor with a not-so-pleasant look on his face.
"I don't even know the difference between what I felt back then and what I just felt now." He muttered.
The pain was quite evident in his voice.
'And what is it?'
Dave was quiet for a while as he shifted his gaze from the goalpost to his front door.
'Yeah, try it a few more times.' He said subconsciously before he stuck both of his hands into his pocket and began to make his way toward the front door.
'To grab a drink and try to recover a bit, there's no way I'm going to activate that skill immediately after recovering from that pain.'
'I don't know, but I want to find a way around that excruciating pain.'
The goalkeeper made his way inside and straight to the kitchen to grab himself a glass of orange juice.
'We're second place in the Bilbeth Premier League with two matches played, this season started out pretty well.'
'Yeah, but seeing our current position on the table is a huge morale boost to the team and we will perform even better.' He said subconsciously before taking a sip from his glass of orange juice.
He stood there for a while staring off into the distance and looking at nothing in particular before he made his way to the couch and slowly sat down on it.
'I'm sure I will be able to deal with a penalty shootout on my own, but it would be really nice to have a skill like focus in my arsenal of skills that I can use in the middle of a match without having to worry about anything.'
There was no response or anything from Catherine as she listened to the goalkeeper vent in his mind.
Just as the goalkeeper was going through a lot of things in his mind, something suddenly came back to him.
'I think I've got something, Catherine.' He immediately said subconsciously.
'Do you remember when the skill was deactivated? I didn't feel anything immediately until I tried to reach out to you through my mind, maybe that's why the pain started, maybe if I avoid talking to you subconsciously three minutes after the skill is deactivated, I won't feel any pain.'
'Are you trying to discourage me from doing this now?'
'Fine, I won't blame you for anything if it goes wrong.'
The goalkeeper quickly slid his hands into his gloves before he pushed the start button and quickly made his way to the goalpost.
"Here we go again." He said before letting out a deep sigh.
[ Focus activated ]
Everywhere suddenly went dark as the first ball was quickly fired toward him.
He was able to keep out all the balls up to the fifteenth ball which was when the skill reached its limit.
[ Skill duration has been exhausted ]
[ Focus deactivated ]
The notification popped up on his screen as the sixteenth ball was shot toward him.
He allowed the ball to fly into the goalpost as he immediately shut off his mind to avoid communicating with Catherine.
The first minute slowly got exhausted and nothing happened, that got Dave really excited and that was where things went downhill suddenly.
'It's actually working.'
As soon as he said those words subconsciously, he felt that familiar stinging pain in his head.
"Arghh!" He yelled before crashing to the floor clutching onto his head with both of his hands.
'What went wrong, Catherine?'
