Chapter 85: Little captain (2/2)

In truth Alex himself had wanted to practice a few more times before the match had started, it was always good to play a warm-up game before heading off into the real thing but then the incident with Scarlett happened.

”Thank you, we shall take you up on that offer.”

The Hershel team started to put on their VR headsets as the coach instructed them to. The plan was to play a game or two before the upcoming match. Alex wanted to stay to see if the Hershel team had made any changes even though that was unlikely.

In every game that Alex had watched of theirs, they stuck to an almost similar routine. Alex thought it was insane. If a team was to lose the tournament every year, then usually they would need to change their tactic but not Hershal for some reason.

Alex then started to leave the gym as he wanted to wait by the gate for his teammates but just as he was about to leave Burney called out to him.

”Oh, by the way, I'll be checking the time, if your team is even late by a minute the rules state that it is an automatic win for us.”

Alex turned around with his fist clenched hard, if he could, he would have punched the arrogant coach in the face by now. Just before Alex left the gym though he said his last few words.

”Don't worry, they'll be here and when they do come, we'll kick your arse and your team with it.”

Alex then quickly left the gym room.

”Did you hear what Alex just said?”

”Yeah, he sounded so goddam badass, was he always like this?”

”No, he was always a little bookworm.”

The students of Montem couldn't believe what they had heard come from the mouth of their shy little VSW captain. It raised the morale of the school greatly.

At the next turn down the hallway away from the sight of everyone else. Alex lent up against the wall and had his handheld on his chest. He could feel his heart was beating incredibly fast.

Alex himself couldn't believe what he had just done. For some reason, Burney had just hit a nerve with Alex.

While Alex was currently busy waiting outside for Novis and the others, the rest of the school slowly started to gather in the Gym as the time for the match was drawing closer and closer. The school's morale started off high and hopeful, that was until they saw Hershal's practice games.

Hershal had played 3 practise games while waiting for Montems team and in those three games, they had one each match at a lightning speed. Not only that but they hadn't lost a single player. The Montem students had witnessed their amazing teamwork and their unique defensive style of play for the first time.

While watching the match they could only think of one word for the team. ”Strong.” Nearly all the students who were watching the match had played VSW themselves but they had never gone against something like this.
