The training of the day was normal, but it also had a special feeling for all the people on the court, the players thought the confusion had finally ended, Jake thought he could finally play again, and Coach Mike was feeling a strange emotion as well.
The day before school started the president called Coach Mike to his office, he said he trusted him and hoped he would do a great job in the years to come, but also made it very clear that it was at Jake's request that he had been hired and that for the next two years it was better that he did not cause any problems.
Mike was grateful for Jake's thinking of him, but he felt a little strange that he had been ordered by the president to practically drop his authority as a coach, of course, he understood that this was only because of the president's concern that something that happened to us years.
And Mike also understood that Jake was not the kind of person to take advantage of the situation, so nothing would change as it was in Middle School, but served to show the importance that Jake has for the team.
Jake was very calm in the coming weeks, the next day would be the first regional championship game, he could finally return to play normally, in those weeks he also talked a lot with Jenny on the phone and sometimes in person, and so the relationship between them was deepening.
Jake can finally feel that things were back to what they should be, after dinner with his mother he went to bed and before bed, he decided to talk a little with the system.
"Things have been a little intense in those two years, is not it, Fate."
[These two years have been very good for improving your skills and also you can mature a little more, it's important for you to know that even with the system things can get complicated for you too.]
"That's true, it helped me realize that this is real life and not a dream, things can go wrong and can work for me as for everyone."
[You can also do many things in those years that you normally could not, you may know some people better too.]
"That's true, show me my statistics, please."

Jake was impressed when he saw how much he improved that year, it was few times that he can see almost all his skills in the S rank, after looking for a while he cannot resist asking.
"Fate, why have not I come up to the next level to upgrade my skills?"
[There are two reasons for this, the first is that you have to raise your dunk skill to rank S too, and this is not going to be easy, the second is that you have to decide for sure what your next step will be, you can go to university like you said it would or could show the skills of the NBA.]
So Jake realized that this was really important, but he had already decided to go to a university before, he had to realize that dream that was as much of his mother as his.
[I think you should talk to your mother better about this, you can go to university when you are older if you are to fulfill your mother's dream, you have to think about what is most important to your career as well.]
[Because after you stop playing along with the money you're going to earn in the NBA and with the stock you invested, you will not need to work after retiring from basketball, so I think you better think of it better, there's still plenty of time until you have to choose since your dunk ability is still far from the S rank.]
Just as the system said he thought he really should have this conversation with his mother, he also thought he would not have to do the university, also because after spending five years studying various business books in this life and more than 10 years in his life should not have much for him to learn.
"But changing the subject, why do you say it will be difficult to raise my dunk skill rank?"
