Kai stood proudly as he wiped the sweat from his temples. Since the tryouts were later this afternoon, he decided to pour out all his effort to increase his level. It only involved a lot of failed dribbling, shooting, and so gas with the kids in the rich neighborhood, but it was worth it. Xiaobo, one of the little kids, even gifted him his old basketball because he felt bad for him!
65 points. Once his weekly quest finishes on Friday, he may be able to advance to the next level!
His thoughts were quickly cut off when he heard his phone ring. He took it out of his pocket and saw Bao calling him.
"What's up?" Kai answered.
"Where are you?" Bao asked. "Sir Muchen's already here!"
Kai's eyes widened as he looked at the ti on his display screen. It was already ten minutes past the first bell!
"Shoot," he muttered, throwing the ball in his personal hiding area before breaking into a sprint.
"I'll be there soon!" he exclaid, turning off the phone.
Fortunately, Kai was a speedy runner in this body, so it didn't take long for him to arrive at the school gates. He sighed in relief when he saw they were still open. He sneaked through the green gates and discretely walked to his classroom.
Kai silently celebrated as he was able to make it without the security guard noticing.
However, not even a few steps later, he was already being grabbed by the collar by a familiar teacher.
"Late on your third day?" he asked.
Kai pursed his lips and turned around, seeing Sir Dao with a nacing expression.
Kai pursed his lips together. Why was it him out of all people?
"I had an ergency," Kai lied through his teeth, hoping he'd let him pass.
"I don't care, young man," Sir Dao said. "You're late. There are no excuses."
Kai sighed and shook his head. Well, he guessed he could run so laps before going to his classroom. He already saw so of the latecors running around the garden with their hands up in the air as punishnt for being late.
"Shall I start running now?" Kai asked, wanting to get it over with.
"Running?" Sir Dao chuckled. "No. Co and see later after your class. I have sothing for you to do."
Kai's eyebrows furrowed. "After dismissal? I can't," he said. "I have tryouts."
Sir Dao laughed loudly, patting Kai's back and not taking him seriously. "Well, you should have thought about that before coming late to school. You better co this afternoon, or I'll be calling your guardian."
…and that was how Kai ended up washing Sir Dao's beat-up car.
The old man sat at his foldable chair while leisurely sipping on so tea. He had a newspaper in his hands as he humd a happy tune. anwhile, Kai was miserably wiping the gunk from his car that had probably existed since the first world war.
Kai frowned as he saw so white residue on the car floor's carpet. He just hoped it was frosting or so kind of food and not what he initially had in mind.
"Don't forget to vacuum the seats," Sir Dao exclaid, causing Kai to sigh deeply.
He glanced at his watch and saw that he still had so ti until 4:00 PM. With that in mind, he hastened his movents in hopes of finishing earlier.
After a few minutes, Kai finally placed down the cleaning materials and presented the shiny car to Sir Dao. His white uniform was drenched and covered with gri, but he didn't care.
He couldn't wait to leave and go to the gymnasium.
"It's done, sir," Kai grumbled.
Sir Dao craned his neck to look at his car and smiled in satisfaction. "Hmm, you're actually good at sothing."
"Can I go now?" Kai asked, dismissing Sir Dao's insult.
Sir Dao pursed his lips, appearing to be thinking. Kai sighed impatiently and glanced at his watch once more. It was exactly 4:00 PM now.
"I guess you could go," Sir Dao said.
Kai breathed out in relief, taking the jersey uniform he borrowed from Bao and slinging it over his shoulder.
"Wait!' Sir Dao exclaid, torturing Kai even more.
Kai closed his eyes in frustration for a mont before turning around.
"Try not to get into trouble. This school only accepted you with the condition you won't create any trouble," he warned. "So make sure you stay in your own lane."
Kai pursed his lips and rely nodded before sprinting to the gymnasium. He placed his jersey on top of his inner tank top and stopped by the bathroom to change into his shorts. He cursed under his breath when he saw that Bao's white jersey had also been dirtied from the carwash a while ago.
"I'm late," he muttered.
He finally arrived and saw soone closing the doors already. His eyes widened, and he ran even faster, hoping to make it in before it closed.
However, as he ran through the doors, he underestimated its height, and the door fra hit his head in the process. It made a loud sound, causing the people inside the gymnasium to turn toward his way.
"Wait!" Kai exclaid, crouching down as he clutched onto his head.
"The sixteenth applicant is here!" a girl's voice exclaid, making Kai stand up straight.
The person who was supposed to close the door looked up at Kai with wide eyes. Kai glanced down at him and smiled; however, it ca out as a threatening sneer.
Jet, the second-year point guard, took a step back as he felt the newcor's intimidating aura. He was taller than him by a good six inches, so he had to tilt his neck to take a better look at the applicant.
Yuze frowned as he looked at the tall, dirty student with unruly hair.
"Your na?" he asked, a frown still on his eyebrows.
"Kai. Kai Guo."
