When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 244

"No thanks, I'm not planning on signing with any team."

Lemira was quite straightforward in her refusal.

She glanced at a silhouette on the wall, "By the way, was King also from Orvin University?"

"Did you go to the Orvin University Team base? Yes, he was a student there, but it's been ages since he graduated."

"Is he still in the industry?"

"Not as far as I know. With his family background, it's unlikely he'd stick around in a team."

Lemira gathered that this legend must come from a pretty privileged background. After hanging up the phone, she turned to see her team captain.

"Lemira, you've got some real talent. I hope you'll considering going pro with us. You've got potential."

"Thanks."

"Are you joining the team as a hobby, or do you have other plans?"

"I want to make it to the national team!"

That was one of Lemira's dreams.

A flicker of disdain passed in the captain's eyes - dreaming of the national team? How naïve. It wasn't that easy to get into the national team.

But he didn't let it show, "That's a fine dream. You'll have to work hard then, and make sure to train with us often."

Lemira nodded obediently, "I understand."

"Lemira, do you want to go out tonight? I can show you around."

"I have plans tonight, so I'll pass."

"Don't get me wrong. It's a welcome party for the new members, and you just joined the reserve team. It wouldn't look good if you didn't show."

That was when Lemira reluctantly agreed.

In the evening, Lemira went with the team to the venue of the dinner. But she was surprised to find out it was a bar.
