Chapter 8: The Volleyball Game

It's been a few days since you had been training under Yuri, and although your muscles and your entire body felt completely sore, you can feel yourself getting stronger day by day. 

And it was just your luck that today you had P.E at school, so you can see how your skills/strength have advanced since before training. 

'I hope I am able to make our class win..', you think as you gaze at the other class (Malcom Hall), who your class (Cline Hall) is going against. 'and test my skills while I'm at it..'

"Hey Y/n!! Ready to play?" Ollie grins brightly with a wave, making his way over to you, and you nod, fierce expression on your face. Just like you, he was wearing the standard Eden P.E clothes today instead of the usual academy uniform. 

"'Kay, we're starting with Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who goes first!" A girl from the other team calls out, and you recognize her as the blonde from your first official day at school. The one who didn't seem to like you much. "Who's representing Cline Hall?"

"Meeee! I'll go!" Before anyone could speak, Oliver raises a hand excitedly as he runs to confront the opposing team to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. 'Of course he did...', you think as you cross your arms and watch him. Ollie was the very opposite of you; all bright and sunny while you were cold and dark. His brightness always gave you the urge to protect him, even though you've only known him for weeks now. 

While playing, Ollie picks paper while the blonde girl picks scissors, and so it was decided that the opposite team, Malcom Hall, would be going first.

"Awww... My bad.." Ollie returns to your side with a deflated look and figure, and you pat his back lightly. 

"It's fine. We'll still win." 

"Really?!"

"Yup."

Ollie grins again as he gets into stance, ready to defeat the other team. 

Demetrius was in the front as always, because he is supposedly the best in your class at both sports and academics, and you and Ollie stand right behind him with a few others to support him. 'I can't wait to prove them all wrong...', you think, glaring at the back of Demetrius's head, which he thankfully doesn't seem to notice.

"Ok. Ready and... begin!" the coach whistles, and a student from the other teams serves the ball, hitting it with great force. It travels over the net with speed and you get ready to hit it, but before you could, Demetrius reaches the ball and hits it back with a good effort, making it move with surreal speed. 'What the..?' You think with a gaping mouth. 'I knew he was strong, but this... No wonder they call him imperial scholar of imperial scholars.'

The other were also surprised, as well as intimidated by Demetrius, which is reasonable. He is not only highly intelligent, but also supernaturally strong as well. 

The speed of the volleyball makes the other team lose, and the coach blows a whistle. "One point for Cline Hall!" he calls out and marks it in his pad. 

It was your team's turn to serve this time, and everyone turned to Demetrius to serve. You understood that your team wanted to win and Demetrius was the best player they got, but it still seems unfair to you that they immediately let their strongest player take the ball without even trying themselves.

Demetrius doesn't seem to mind as he throws the ball up in the air and serves it in an extremely strong manner, which makes the other team instantly lose as they were unable to hit it back (due to its force).

"Another point for Cline Hall!" the coach blows another whistle, and you deadpan. 'This is going to be a long day...'

As the day continues, the game goes on, with Cine Hall gaining more and more points as Malcolm Hall stays at 0. The other team was starting to get frustrated by their heavy loss, and the blonde girl from before now stood at the front with a determined expression. She had the ball (Cline Hall decided to be generous and give a turn to Malcolm Hall) in her hands and looked ready to take out some of your teammates.
