Ryo considered where to allocate his free points. His strength and agility were solid but could benefit from an increase. His endurance was high, which was essential for maintaining peak performance throughout the showcase. Intelligence was a strength, helping with tactical decisions on the fly.

He thought about Volkov’s advice—about adaptability. While he had **Adaptability** as a unique skill, he wondered if boosting his agility or strength might offer additional benefits in reacting to different game scenarios.

He allocated 2 points to **Agility**, bringing it up to 66. With his agility improved, Ryo would have a faster, more fluid response on the field, crucial for evading tackles and making rapid adjustments. He then put the remaining 2 points into **Strength**, increasing it to 66. Enhanced strength would help him hold off defenders and increase the power of his shots.

With his updated stats and skills, Ryo felt a renewed sense of confidence. His enhanced agility and strength would complement his already strong **Meta Vision** and **Limit Breaker**. He was ready to face the challenge, knowing that he had optimized his abilities to their fullest potential.

He packed up his gear and left the training facility, heading back to his hotel. The Pro League Showcase was just around the corner, and he was more determined than ever to make his mark. The encounter with Volkov had sharpened his focus, and with every passing day, his resolve grew stronger.

As he lay in bed that night, Ryo reviewed his strategy and visualized his performance. He could see himself on the field, executing the perfect **Razor Shot** and adapting to every move his opponents made. The showcase was a test of his skills, but it was also an opportunity to prove to himself that he could stand among the best.

The day of the Pro League Showcase arrived with a mix of excitement and tension. The sun was bright as Ryo made his way to the stadium, his heart pounding with anticipation. The venue was massive, filled with fans, media, and scouts from around the world. The atmosphere was electric, buzzing with the energy of thousands of football enthusiasts.

Ryo had a quick breakfast at the hotel before heading to the stadium, focusing on staying calm and centered. Once he arrived, he went through the usual pre-match routines: checking his gear, warming up, and running through his mental checklist. His coach, a grizzled veteran of the sport, gave him a nod of encouragement. “Today’s your day, Ryo. Remember everything you’ve practiced. Focus on your strengths, adapt when needed, and stay sharp.”

As he walked to the locker room, Ryo noticed the other players milling about—some were chatting, others were lost in their own thoughts. Among them, Volkov was already focused, his eyes scanning the field with a steely determination. Ryo’s gaze met his for a brief moment, and though Volkov didn’t say anything, the intensity in his stare was enough to reinforce Ryo’s resolve.

With the teams called to the field, Ryo took his place among his teammates. The roar of the crowd grew louder, and the buzz of anticipation was palpable. The first match was about to begin, and Ryo was ready to make his mark.

The whistle blew, and the game kicked off. Ryo’s team quickly fell into their rhythm, and he began to make his presence known. He used his **Meta Vision** to track the movements of both his teammates and opponents, making split-second decisions that helped his team maintain control of the ball.

The opposing team, a well-coached squad known for their aggressive defense, soon proved to be a formidable challenge. Ryo found himself up against defenders who were keenly aware of his **Razor Shot**. They crowded him, making it difficult to get a clear look at the goal.

But Ryo’s **Adaptability** came into play. He adjusted his positioning, finding new angles and opportunities. His **Spatial Awareness** helped him navigate the tight spaces and anticipate the defenders' movements. He managed to find a small opening and delivered a well-placed cross, which his teammate converted into the first goal of the match.

The game continued, and Ryo remained vigilant. His ability to read the game and adapt to different situations was crucial. As the match neared its end, the score was tied, and the pressure was mounting. Ryo knew this was his moment to shine.

With only minutes left on the clock, Ryo saw an opportunity. He received a pass just outside the penalty area. His instincts kicked in, and he quickly set himself up for a **Razor Shot**. He could feel the weight of the moment, the need for precision and power. The crowd's roar seemed to fade away as he focused on the ball, channeling everything he had into the strike.

He sprinted forward, executed the shot, and watched as the ball arced through the air with deadly accuracy. The opposing goalkeeper leaped, but the ball curved just out of reach and slammed into the top corner of the net.

The stadium erupted in cheers. Ryo’s teammates swarmed him, celebrating the decisive goal. Ryo felt a surge of adrenaline and satisfaction. He had delivered when it mattered most, and the match ended with his team emerging victorious.

As the teams shook hands and the fans cheered, Ryo took a moment to catch his breath. He had faced intense competition and pressure, but he had also demonstrated his skills and adaptability. The win was a testament to his hard work and preparation.

Later, in the post-match interviews, Ryo was approached by reporters and scouts. He answered their questions with a mix of humility and confidence, acknowledging the contributions of his teammates and coaches while also reflecting on his performance. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and he could see the interest from various scouts, including a few from top-tier clubs.

Back in the locker room, Ryo’s coach clapped him on the back. “Great game out there. You showed what you’re capable of. Keep this momentum going, and you’ll go far.”

Ryo smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. The Pro League Showcase was just beginning, and there were more challenges ahead, but he was ready. He had proven himself on this stage and was determined to keep pushing his limits.

As he left the stadium, Ryo looked up at the night sky, feeling a sense of hope and excitement for the future. The journey was far from over, but each step brought him closer to his goals. And with each challenge, he knew he would rise to meet it, ready to seize every opportunity that came his way.
The next morning, Ryo woke up early and prepared for the day with a clear mind. He knew that each practice session and every decision now mattered more than ever. The world stage awaited, and Ryo was ready to step into the spotlight and show what he was truly capable of.
