"Well, that's cool, but I'm confused about the sudden jump in my stats?" Rakim voiced as he looked at the screen in front of him, as he now sat up on the grass.

{You are almost 17, you know that, right?} Eva light-heartedly responded in a matter-of-fact tone that asked him to give an answer.

"Yeah, are you short-circuiting or something? Should I get a genius from the Apple store?" He responded in a joking tone, trying to get a rise out of her, but to no success.

{Maybe you should really consider therapy to get rid of the delusion that you could be a comedian.} She responded in a matter-of-fact voice as the floating screen in front of him changed to display various therapy offices near the place he lived. {Anyway, this is the game when regular academy players begin to bloom, looking for a way to break into the main squad.}

Ignoring the hurt expression and over-exaggerated acting, Rakim performed because of her comments, she continued with her explanation. {You, my dear host, have experienced a similar state early, which I dubbed the Pelé state, for when talented young kids step onto the stage early, becoming so-called wunderkids.}

"Wait, wait, hold up, I know it's just the Scottish league, but I did debut earlier than Pelé, so does this really apply to me?" Rakim interrupted after seeing that Eva did not plan on acknowledging his antics.

{Sigh, I dubbed it the Pelé state, because of what comes next and for the simple fact he was the first to meet the second conditions and exceed his potential.} She responded before proceeding to give examples of young wunderkids who, despite showing promise early, failed to turn that into longevity in their career. {The second part is what I like to call the Freddy Adu ceiling, where wunderkids, similar to child actors who have seen early success and hype, fail to break that final barrier to truly launch their career.}

"So I've broken this called ceiling, but how?" He asked, understanding what she was getting at.

{Oh, you did by facing your past and making peace with what is holding you back.} She calmly responded, sending a soothing sensation through his body. {Like the saying, all roads lead to Rome, the Ceiling is different for everyone. A perfect example is Freddy Adu, who debuted at the tender age of 14, signing a $1 million Nike deal.}

Upon the mention of the man, Rakim remembered reading about him growing up. There weren't a lot of footballers who had experienced the same situation as him in their football journey. He had become a cautionary tale, prompting him to stay at Ace Academy for a year longer before embarking on his professional journey.

When they had analysed why his career seemingly imploded, many things played a factor. He had skipped development steps, which cost him greatly as he lost form over time. Last he heard, the man had played for 13 clubs in 9 different countries, becoming a shell of the player he could have been.

{A complete opposite is Spanish Bojan Krkić, he peaked at 17, breaking Messi's debut record for Barcelona. He was crushed at the immense pressure of being the next Messi, suffering from severe anxiety attacks.} Eva explained as article's and images showcasing the Spanish player's chaotic career were shown to him.

{The point is,} she concluded, {breaking the Adu Ceiling isn't about raw talent; it's about maturing as a player by discovering your playstyle or weapons that allow you to survive at the next level. You finally reconciled with your past, which, while being an emotional ceiling, is a ceiling nonetheless. That's why every metric jumped.}

Rakim let the words settle, lying back down on the grass, letting his eyes roam the drifting clouds. "So what's next?" He simply asked, assuming she wouldn't bring this up without a reason.

{Well, I may have forgotten to tell you, but since you have passed the date of your previous death, it is judgment day.} She dramatically stated like some two-bit MC at an awards show, trying to make you care when you really don't. {Basically, the system has evaluated your use of it using various criteria on which you will be evaluated.}

"You definitely didn't bother mentioning this in the decade I've had the system," Rakim retorted with a hint of dissatisfaction at not being told such important information. "Then again, maybe it's better I didn't know that kind of pressure would have led to half a life."

{Indeed, if you had known you would lose access to the system, it would have only led to unnecessary stress.} She casually explained, sounding as if she had just explained to us the breakfast menu.

"Wait a minute, what's this about losing the system?" Startled by the mention of that fact, Rakim immediately sat up from the grass in a mix of shock and panic. He had lived without the system in that twisted dream, and the idea of going back to that unsettled him.

{Sigh, you hardly use the system anyway, so don't worry about it. Plus, you will retain a stat screen and don't forget about the evaluation rewards that will be in the worms of talents.} Eva quickly explained, unwilling to let his thoughts roam any further than necessary. {Just wait and see before judging.}

"I think that's the first time the system has ever said something nice without a snide comment," Rakim muttered after coming to terms with the evaluation.

{Must be a glitch}
