I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 75

When Sheri opened her eyes, she was already in the void space.

"Welcome back, host. I will direct you immediately to your mission." The mechanical voice said.

Sheri felt light-headed and immediately closed her eyes. The moment she opened them again, she sees a ball coming towards her.

"Bree!!" shouts another woman.

Unknowingly, Sheri kicked the ball away from her, leaving the other woman dumbfounded. She looked back at Sheri with an angry tone.

"What's wrong with you." The woman shouts while chasing the ball.

Sheri was confused then proceeded to observe where she was. She's in a soccer game, and it seems she's the goalkeeper. She looked at her side, and people were shouting.

Sheri doesn't have a single clue about the rules of soccer. However, she knows that the goalkeeper can touch the ball. As she perceives the situation, it seems that the opposite team is in the lead.

The ball is coming towards her again.

Like instinct, her body immediately reacted and positioned herself at the center, slightly crouching with both hands ready. Surprised at this discovery, she shrugged and decided to go with the flow. Seeing that the opposite team was about to kick the ball, She thought the ball will be on her left side thus, she moves towards that direction. And yet she saw the ball went to the opposite direction. Luckily, Sheri's body this time is tall. She used her foot and managed to kick the ball away from the goal post.

Thinking that her luck was on her side, it was not. The opposite team has caught the ball and did another kick, this time it went through.

The opposite team shouts with triumph while her team, shakes their heads in disappointment.

"Bree, get your head on!" shouts the other woman.

Sheri was flabbergasted. However, whether she's ready or not, the game continues. Every player is trying to tackle the ball away from their opponents. Unfortunately, the opposite team managed to steal it and immediately takes control of the ball. They run towards the goal where Sheri is and tries to kick it. Of course, Sheri's teammates are trying their best in blocking and stealing the ball. They still fail.

This time Sheri makes sure to focus her attention to where the ball is going. Being duped the second time is not on her agenda.

The distance was getting smaller by the second. Finally, the team kicked the ball.

Sheri dives toward the ball and was able to catch it.

Suddenly the whistle blows. "Times up!" The referee announced.

The referee flag was up indicating its time. The game is over.

The opposite team was shouting while the team of Sheri was shaking their heads.

Sheri followed her team in their locker.

One woman whom she doesn't know pushed her.

"Bree, what's wrong with you? You know this is our final. Because of you. We lost." The woman angrily said.

The rest of the team comes and calms the other woman.

"Bree in my office now!" Another woman shouts.

Sheri silently followed her.

In her mind, she wanted to punch the system for putting her in this dilemma. The woman was seating there quietly surrounded by two men. She can tell that they are the co-coach and the assistant coach of the woman.

"Bree, what happened? Your performance isn't like this. We hired you because of your capability to detect which angle the ball can go. Now it seems you have proven us wrong." The woman said.

Sheri doesn't know what to say. The whole time she was lectured, Sheri didn't utter any words. After the talk, Sheri went out of the office before another woman came closer to her.
