214 Second Quarter 

BUZZ!! 

“Kyaah!!! Go, go, go, Max! You can do it, our Max-!” Max’s fans cheered happily and their cheering grew louder with the score at the moment. Max did all the scores in the first quarter while the school basketball team didn’t score a point. 

“Hahaha!” Max laughed out loud as he strutted toward the bench, receiving a towel from a classmate from the star section. 

Meanwhile, the school’s basketball team looked at the score bitterly. Some had to look away in dismay at the first quarter of the game. 

“This is insane!” someone expressed. “First quarter and we couldn’t even score one point!” 

“The guys he brought in have a different aura during the game. They surely… are on a different level!” 

“Even if they didn’t do anything, their presence alone is crazy!” 

The basketball members couldn’t help but express their dismay at the result of the first quarter of the game while heading back to their bench. The first quarter of the game was an important part of the game for this would boost a team’s morale and set the mood right. 

But with a zero at the end of the first quarter, it was devastating. 

“But at the end of the day, Max has a point,” Atlas spoke when they reached the bench for a water break. “You should’ve clarified who he could bring and who he couldn’t. Since you all missed that part and simply thought he had the decency to bring those on your levels, this game is the price we’re paying.” 

This time, all the players and those on the bench looked at Atlas. No matter how they were so. disappointed at Atlas and his gameplay, they also knew it was their fault for dragging this guy into this game. Admittingly, Atlas was also telling the truth. 

“Hey, it’s just the first quarter!” Charles cheered them up. “There are still three quarters and the score isn’t that huge!” 

They looked up at Charles gloomily. No matter what Charles said, they didn’t feel better at all. 

“You guys…” Charles rested his hands on his hips, at the end of his wits at how he would cheer them up. They all looked so depressed. The fact that despite playing against professionals, those scores were all from Max. Therefore, the entire team’s morale took a devastating hit. 

“Let’s try again,” Hugo spoke up, earning his teammates‘ attention. “Win or losc. Isn’t that our 

-code?” 

The team nodded, but even so, they barely felt a little better. Even Hugo couldn’t score when a professional basketball player was blocking him. Not just the height, but the difference in their experience, and those professionals were poles apart. It was heaven and earth. 

They would lose for sure.

One after another, Penny’s fan club cheered. Those from the basketball fan club grinned and joined the cheers, raising the basketball team’s morale, but also theirs. 

In under a few seconds, the entire court erupted with cheers and support for the school basketball team. 

“Why are they only cheering for Hugo?” Atlas frowned, snapping his eyes at Hugo. 2 

The corner of Hugo’s lips stretched as his tensed shoulders relaxed. Penny was screaming so loud her face was turning red, and while she did, she was rubbing her side belly. 

“She reminds me of Tiana,” he muttered, feeling a lot better as he remembered his little siblings. came to watch. His eyes, however, blazed when he peeled his eyes away from Penny and Slater. I 

Not just Hugo, but the entire basketball team seemingly fired up with all the support they were. receiving from the crowd. 

“How selfish of us to only think about ourselves when there were those who believed in us,” said the player next to Hugo. 

Hugo took a deep breath and yelled, “Let’s score this quarter team! Penny’s money’s on us!” I 

“Hai!” the rest of the team shouted in unison. 2 

Max smirked in ridicule as he strutted toward his position. As for his team, he glanced at the crowd and smiled in appreciation. 

The second quarter ended with a score of 45-27: 45 for Max’s team, 27 for the school 

basketball team.
