Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

After landing in Paris, Darius quickly learned that he would have the following days off to get used to the time difference between France and the US. However, that wasn't the only reason, the other reason was quite simple, the crew for the movie needed more time to have everything ready.

That's why for the next few days, Darius decided to meet up with the scout whom PixelPirate or Taric had recommended to him.

Taric stayed true to his words as he received all the information for the scout a few days ago, right after they met one another.

He was on his way to meet the scout, and Darius had to admit that she was definitely impressive.

Her portfolio of known athletes was extremely good, and Darius couldn't wait to meet up with her.

In fact, Darius was inside a soccer or football stadium, where the scout had asked him to meet up. After all, since they were in France, the scout was mainly focused on soccer and didn't know much about other sports in general.

But that was quite normal. There was little to no chance of finding a scout who could know everything about all sports.

If that were to happen, they would most likely have access to cheats like Darius. Or maybe, just maybe, they would be so talented that it would happen.

Either way, Darius finally arrived at the football stadium, and he had to admit that it was extremely impressive. It was so massive that he couldn't even imagine what it would look like when it was filled up to the brim. The atmosphere in the air had to be electric when that happened.

"Uh…hello? Are you Anna?" Darius muttered as he saw a girl standing on the sidelines with a notepad, writing things down.

From behind, Darius had to admit that she was quite fit. However, he was planning on keeping his relationship with her purely professional, as he had no need to get intimate with her. Nevertheless, a little bit of flirting could never do anything wrong.

"Oh!" She turned around with a smile as she extended her hand forward. "You must be, Darius; we talked over the phone! It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too!" Darius said as he shook her hand right back.

"I got to say I was quite confused when you said that Taric was the one who sent you over to me. He's not really the type to share information, so you must have made a pretty good first impression on him,"

Darius rubbed the back of his neck in an embarrassed manner. "Something like that, haha!"

"Well, who cares about Taric? You said you were interested in meeting with some talented players, right?" Anna said with a smile.

Darius had to admit that this was going much better than he had originally thought, as the scout was a lot nicer than he would have expected in the past.

"Yes, female soccer players, to be more precise."

"Soccer?" She frowned. "Oh, you mean football. Right, you're American; I forgot."

Darius had to admit that Anna's English was extremely good for a French girl. French people are known for having quite a heavy accent when speaking English. However, in her case, that wasn't the case whatsoever. It was as if she had lived most of her life in the US, developing an American accent.

"Either way, here are some of the best potentials that I found while scouting all over the world. Most of them are French, but they all speak English very well. Nonetheless, I have to say that I wonder why an actor is trying to become a manager for athletes. Isn't that kinda opposite to the entertainment industry?"

Anna seemed confused about some of Darius's decisions. But he didn't mind, as her question was actually quite good.

He spent the next few minutes talking about how he was chosen for the main role and his path to becoming an actor, and she was completely mind-blown.

"Wow! That's absolutely crazy!" She practically shouted as some of the people practicing on the field suddenly turned their heads where they were standing, eying them strangely, clearly wondering what was happening between Anna and the unknown man standing next to her.

Realizing that she was still in the middle of her job, Anna decided to tell Darius a little more about herself, and he listened to her every word since she was talking about some of his potential recruits.

However, all of this would be in the future since he had no place in his Talent Squad. Darius could still recruit them in his agency, but he would have to think about it.

"Right, I should make you meet with some of your potential recruits. Most of them are training right now, after all."

She grabbed the player profiles she had just given Darius and started looking through them, taking one in particular and subtly showing it to Darius.

"If I were you, the person I would recruit is this girl right there. She is bound to become one of the best in the world of female football. Obviously, she won't compete with men unless she becomes three times better. But since you only asked for female athletes, she's the best you'll be able to find."

Darius grabbed the sheet of paper with all of the information on the said girl and started reading the detailed report on her.

Darius was by no means a soccer expert, but he still knew some things about it. He would sometimes look at the biggest soccer matches in the world, like the World Cup final.

'Mhm…not bad,' Darius thought.

[Fleur Lavoie]

[Position: Striker]

[Dribbling: 4.5/5]

[Shooting: 4/5]

[Physique: 3.5/5]

[Speed: 5/5]

[Potential: Best I have ever seen.]

[Description: A player hungry to win all the titles in the world. Her beauty also makes her quite interesting for brands to want her and sponsor her. Her potential is one of the highest I have ever seen, and anyone would be stupid not to recruit her. Her future is bound to be absolutely incredible.]

Darius read Anna's notes and admitted that if what was written on the sheet of paper was true, then there was no point in hesitating any further.

"Look, it seems like the girls have finished their practice!" Anna said as she pointed toward all the players walking toward them.

In the midst of all the players, Darius quickly managed to spot Fleur, as there was a picture of her face on Anna's sheet. Darius had to admit that she was extremely good-looking.
