With a whistle from the referee, the basketball match began officially.
As it was held in Scrollania College, the majority of the audience were the students of Scrollania College, making the students of Soya University appear lonely.
However, the six team members from Soya University did not seem to mind. It was a fierce match. The scores of both sides were drawing closer.
Sara was watching the match attentively when a bottle was hurled at her suddenly, startling Sara. Fortunately, the bottle was grabbed by someone before it hit her forehead.
Sara let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
Alex threw the bottle to the ground, his voice was cold, "It's an unopened bottle."
Sara was shocked.
The unopened bottle was filled with liquid. If it had hit her, her head would have bled and wounded.
She looked toward the direction of where the bottle came from, seeing a girl with heavy makeup, looked innocent. As they had some distance and the court was noisy, the girl mouthed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
But her eyes, with colored contact lenses on, were full of malice.
Alex's face turned cold. As he was about to stand up, Scarlet was quicker. She had pulled Sara a cold face. up and walked toward the girl, with Probably because she didn't expect that Scarlet would come over, the arrogant girl's facial expression changed.
"I remember you." Scarlet grabbed her collar and lifted her from the seat, "Serene Smith, right?"
Serene smiled apologetically, "Scarlet, you still remember me."
"Of course I remember." Scarlet narrowed her eyes, "You confessed to Simon via a loudspeaker in our classroom and ended up being beaten up by Nina."
Serene's face darkened, "Sister Scarlet, I..."
"I don't want to hear your explanation." Scarlet looked at her with disgust, "I don't care what you think of Simon. You'd better remember that Sara is my friend. If such a thing happens again..." Her pretty face blazed a fierce coldness, "I guarantee, I will not let you stay in Scrollania College for any longer."
Serene's lower lip quivered, "I... It was an accident...
"Accident?" Scarlet raised her eyebrows.
Serene shuddered, "... I'm sorry, Sister Scarlet. I won't do it again! I was wrong!"
If she had known that Scarlet would speak up for the illegitimate daughter, Sara, she would not have acted impulsively toward Sara for Simon!
"Why do you apologize to me?" Scarlet asked calmly.
*Serene glanced at Sara, who looked puzzled. She bit her lip, which had lipstick on, and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
Sara felt as if she had just woken up from a dream, "...Well, you're a good person if you can still admit your faults and correct yourself. Your parents would be happy for you."
Serene was furious.
Was she glad for her parents? Who did she think she was?!
However, she didn't dare to say it aloud. She endured it silently.
Scarlet did not want to look at Serene anymore. She raised her eyebrows at Sara and asked, "What kind of look is that on your face?"
Sara looked at her with admiration and said, "Miss Johnson, you were so cool just now!"
How great it would be if she was as cool as Scarlet!
... Scarlet blushed and let out a cough, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're such a doormat. You let everyone walk over you. Useless!
Sara replied, "...You helped me out anyway."
Scarlet was frustrated, "Do you think I'll be around to help you every time?"
Sara thought, "Miss Johnson really was so fierce."
The two of them went back to their seats and continued to watch the match.
Although both team's scoring points were about the same, Scrollania College still had skill and talent and were ahead by two points. Simon dribbled the ball. When he was just about to dunk, there was a turn to the story....
One of Soya's team members crashed into him!
As Simon was jumping, he couldn't keep his balance. He was knocked down. His calf hit the ground hard, opening up a large red gash, blood flowing out.
The person who crashed into Simon wasn't any better, he fell to the ground as well.
All of that happened right in front of Sara. She frowned The audience screamed.
The referee stopped the game quickly. Simon was held up by his team members. Victor's face was pale as he asked, "Captain, you...
Simon shook his head," It might be a fracture."
With such a huge impact force, it was inevitable that his leg would be fractured.
The members of the Soya team also held their teammate up. He did not care about his injury, instead he smiled and said, "Sorry, buddy. My leg cramped, so I did not manage to stop in time."
Simon, who was usually a good-tempered person, showed a stormy expression.
He must have been intentional. On the court, dirty tricks weren't unusual, but it was rare in official matches. Those b*stards were really unexpectedly disgusting. It was obvious that they were targeting the main player, Simon!
However, they were smart enough to injure one of their people as well. We're both injured, how could you say I did it intentionally?
Because of that, the referee did not say anything more. He frowned and looked at Simon's wound, "Go to the infirmary and let the substitute continue the game."
At the moment, there was no way Simon could continue playing. However, he was not willing to go to the infirmary. After all, that match concerned the reputation of Scrollania College. The substitute of the basketball team was a newbie. He didn't have much contact with the team members, so it would be a tough battle to win.
"D*mn it!" A team member who was supporting Simon on his shoulder cursed in a low voice, "How could these lumps of trash from Soya have so much progress in their basketball skills?! In the past, we would have won in the second half without even breaking a sweat!"
"They even used such a f*cking dirty trick!" Another person chimed in, "It is true that there are all kinds of people in the world! Did they go through some special coaching?"
The members of Soya were laughing happily. The captain even shouted, "I'm sorry about Young Master Bishop's injury. I'll pay for the medical expenses!"
"Finn Zachary, shut your f*cking mouth up!" One of the Scrollania team members who was hot-tempered yelled,"Did you have to be so fake? You are f*cking disgusting!"
Finn shrugged innocently, "It was an accident after all. Why are you overthinking? Our team member is injured as well, okay?"
In the past, they had played several games with each other, so they knew the strength of each other's team members. They were curious in the beginning. How would they put the main player as a substitute and let a stranger join the match? Now, it made sense to them. It was obvious that they intended to take down Simon with the stranger at the beginning!
