Meanwhile, the players from Class E were so exhausted that they slumped to the ground. The sports coach blew on his whistle and with that, the competition between Class E and Class F ended. The results were obvious; Class E had a disastrous defeat.
At that moment, the students from Class F who came over to watch the game were so stunned that their jaws dropped and they didn’t know what to say. C-Can we take back the things we said in class? Is that really The Beasts that we know?
Daisy was also in a daze and it took her a few minutes before she came back to her senses. Then, she hurriedly walked toward The Beasts and Gordon who were at the sidelines, passing them water to drink. The five boys took the water from her and quickly gulped down mouthfuls, all the while looking at the players from Class E who were lying on the ground with disdain. Meanwhile, Abby excitedly dragged Janet and approached them, her chubby face filled with joy. The four members of The Beasts winked at Janet and said, “Janet, we didn’t embarrass you, did we?”
Janet yawned and looked at the four boys speechlessly. What happened to laying low? How are you going to explain yourselves for defeating Class E so badly that they’re too exhausted to move?
Abby pursed her lips and smiled as she praised, “You guys were awesome. I never knew that all of you are so good at basketball!” Upon hearing this, the four boys scratched their heads shyly. Just as Abby was about to continue, she noticed a strange expression on Gordon’s face in her peripheral vision. Janet had noticed it too and asked, “What’s the matter?”
With a helpless expression, Gordon muttered, “I didn’t warm up properly and accidentally hurt my calf during the game.” Janet frowned slightly. Overhearing them, the students from Class F who were standing in a distance hurriedly walked up to Gordon and asked, “What? Then what are we going to do now?” The Beasts also looked worried and mused, “We still have to compete with Class A later.”
“He’s badly hurt so he can’t play anymore,” Abby said before hurrying to call the school doctor over.
The school doctor sprayed cooling spray and anti-inflammatory drugs on Gordon’s feet before he frowned and said, “His ankle is injured and he can’t participate in the rest of the game.” Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, not knowing what to do. The students of Class F were not confident in their basketball skills and they didn’t have the courage to go against Class A.
The sports coach heard about their situation; a competition was a competition and accidents often happen during basketball games. However, rules were rules. If Class F gave up on competing, Class A would automatically win the championship.
The next round of the competition was about to start soon but Class F didn’t have any male volunteers. Meanwhile, Class A players had already begun to urge them impatiently.
“Is Class F still playing?”
“Are there no other boys in Class F other than Gordon?”
“Hurry up! We’ve been waiting for a long time already!”
“If you can’t find another player, just admit defeat. We’ll give you one more minute to discuss.”
Even the sports coach stepped forward and urged, “The game is starting in two minutes. Are you guys playing or not?” Seeing Class A’s reaction, Abby looked at Janet helplessly and asked, “Janet, you’re the smartest among us. What should we do now?”
Worried, Gordon said, “Why don’t I continue to play and finish the game in 30 minutes?”
“No way,” Abby pouted and immediately interrupted Gordon. “We rather give up than let you continue playing.” Other students of Class F shook their heads helplessly. At that moment, they wished they had practiced basketball more often. After all, the Class F students did have their honor to protect and no one wanted to be looked down by other classes. Seeing that their time was almost up, Class A started getting restless and increasingly urged them.
Suddenly, Janet lazily looked up and her red lips parted slightly. “How troublesome!” After she finished speaking, she took off her thin coat, revealing her slender and fair arms. Her red lips were slightly pursed and her gaze was cold and proud. Abby blinked in confusion and asked, “Janet, what are you doing?” Janet raised her arms and did some warm up exercises before she coldly replied, “I’ll compete!”
Everyone from Class F was speechless. Did Janet just say that she’ll compete?
