Chapter 277: Chapter 277

The goalkeeper pushed the door open to find his wife in the living room working on something on her laptop.

"Oh, you're back." She quickly turned her gaze to him and said as soon as she heard the door open.

"Yeah." He said as he quickly made his way to her and dropped the bag on the couch beside her. "That's everything you wanted."

She quickly grabbed the bag and brought out the orange soda before checking again to see that everything she asked for was in there.

"Oh, Dave, you're the best." She said before quickly pulling him down for a hug. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it." He said before turning toward the staircase. "I'll be upstairs in case you need me."

With that said, the goalkeeper made his way upstairs and straight to the room, and after getting there, he crashed down on the bed.

'Now, back to what we were doing before she got back.' He said subconsciously after letting out a few muffled breaths.

'Yeah, but this time I went through a minute without feeling any pain, the pain started when I thought of something and it only lasted for two minutes.'

'The pain isn't triggered by only trying to talk to you, it's triggered by trying to use my mind in any way during the pain duration, that means no thoughts or using my mind to do anything.' He expressed subconsciously.

'Wait, are you saying that you knew about it all this time?'

'If you knew about it, then why didn't you just tell me about it?'

'Catherine.' The goalkeeper grumbled inwardly.

'Well, I hope they don't.' He said subconsciously before getting up from the bed.

He made his way downstairs where he saw Emma who had put her work on hold and was about to dig into her cake.

"If you're going to mess that up, then you should consider taking that white vest off first." He said after stepping down the staircase.

"Hey, I'm not a little girl." She said before quickly shooting a glare at him.

"Really, then why is that on your vest?"

"What?" She quickly checked the vest to see that she had gotten a drop of orange soda on it by mistake. "Oh."

"Don't stain your vest with cake." He said before quickly making his way to the door.

"Hey…." She didn't get to say what she wanted to say as he opened the door and left the house.

She stared at the door for a while before she dropped the cake on the table and got up from the couch.

After getting outside, the goalkeeper picked up all the balls which were scattered all over the area before returning to the ball blaster to put all of them in there.

After putting in all of the balls, he closed the cabinet and strapped on his gloves before pushing the start button.

After pushing the button, he quickly made his way to the goal line to start the test.

"I hope this one doesn't go wrong." He said before letting out a deep sigh.

By the time his test began, Emma had already gotten to the room and was now observing what he was doing from the window.

She was a bit suspicious about what happened outside when she got home and found him on the floor and now that suspicion was what led her here now.

With the extra focus obtained from the focus skill, the goalkeeper was able to keep out all the balls swiftly up to the sixteenth ball which he allowed to go into the goalpost as the skill had been deactivated now.

"Why did he stop? He's just standing there now." She mumbled.

The goalkeeper stood there, trying hard not to bring anything into his mind consciously.

The duration was three minutes but he crossed into the fourth minute just to be safe.

'I think this should do it.'

As soon as he said that, he felt a stinging pain in his head, but before he could place his hand in his head, the pain was gone, it was very brief.

"It looked like he was about to place his hands on his head there."

'Yeah, but it was very brief like it never happened.'

'Yeah, but this isn't bad, if this is the way that it's going to be then I think it's time to put the skill in the same category as Ball magnet.'

'I couldn't have done it without you.'

Emma was still watching him from above when his phone began to ring in the room.

She quickly turned back to see the phone lying on the bed.

She picked up the phone and picked up the call before it would be registered as a missed call as she made her way downstairs.

"Hold on, he went outside and forgot his phone here."

She made her way downstairs and outside to give the phone to Dave.

After collecting the phone from her, the goalkeeper checked the name of the caller before putting the phone against his ear.

"Hey, coach, what's up?"

"I'm doing great, coach." The goalkeeper replied.

"Yeah, so why are you calling, coach?"

"Yeah, I'm at the stadium now and I want to see you," Norman said.

"Is something wrong?" Dave asked.

"No, there's nothing wrong, I just want to see you."

"Okay, coach, I'll be right there."

"Okay," Norman said before ending the call.

'No idea.' He replied subconsciously before shaking his head.

Two magic castles= two extra chapters.
