Chapter 23
“Of course, I do it. Don’t think I’m afraid.” At that moment, a boy stood up from his seat and grilled his teeth.
Π
The boy was none other than Howard, who had previously made the promise.
He turned around and said to a group of boys behind him, “We’re backed into the corner. We must compete with them, even if we may lose! Even if we do lose, we cannot be labeled as losers for no reason!”
The group of boys behind him realized that the battle was unavoidable at that point, and that they had no choice but to grit their teeth and face their opponents.
One by one, they stood up from their seats.
“Come on, let’s go to the basketball court!” Felix called out and took the basketball, leaving first.
The students in Regular Class A naturally rushed to watch because it was a battle for their honor.
Initially, Oneida didn’t want to join in on the fun, but when she saw Matthias go to the basketball court, she decided to follow.
The indoor basketball court was already packed with spectators.
In addition to the students of Regular Class A and Elite Class A, there were also many students from other classes who came after hearing the news.
The battle for dignity was about to begin.
As soon as the game started, Felix made a fantastic three–point shot, and from then on, he was unstoppable, hitting every shot he took.
Howard and his teammates were immediately overwhelmed by Felix’s performance and couldn’t find their bearings.
In just a few minutes, the point difference had already been widened to ten points.
Upon seeing that, the students of Regular Class A in the stands immediately felt discouraged.
“What’s the point of continuing to play? They might as well surrender and admit defeat!” shouted one of the audience members.
“What a shamel said another one.
“A game with no hope is just a waste of time and energy!”
“They’re right! It’s just like taking a dog for a walk!”
The first half ended with Felix making an incredible long–range three–pointer, and Elite Class A was already up by 30 points.
Cries of despair erupted from the stands where the Regular Class A students were seated.
They were all convinced that there was no longer any hope of victory
After all, Howard and the rest of the team lacked the other team’s explosive power, jumping ability, and shooting accuracy.
