Later, He Became A Royal Healer

Ch112 - Beast of Burden Liao.

As he happily hung up the phone, the night breeze blew past, evaporating the sweat on his body and allowing a chill to seep in. However, with his excitement rising by several degrees, he did not notice the cold.

"So happy?" The one who was speaking to him happened to the school senior who had successfully pulled Kang Shengzhe into the basketball team. Since it was his private affairs, he let it slip after he teased him with a single comment. "Are you alright? You can go back and rest if you're tired, the rest of us are going to continue for another half of an hour."

Kang Shengzhe shook his head as he caught a ball and threw it. The ball did a neat parabola in the air and it hit the basket but it did not go in. "I'll practice for a while more."

The school senior was very gratified, "Sure, practice more!" As he scrutinized Kang Shengzhe, the feeling that it was a good decision to recruit him kept rising. "With you around, our team can still have a go at it. This year's goal is to play one more match than last year!"

Although the boys in the Liberal Arts College were not being discriminated against, it was true that their physiques was slightly lacking compared to the other faculties. For starters, they were small in numbers and consequently, the pool they could choose from was not ideal. People like Kang Shengzhe who were two-metres-tall was something that happened once every few years.

Evidently, Kang Shengzhe did not agree with his words. He tousled his hair and said deeply, "Just playing one more match is not enough."

The school senior: "Then what do you want?"

Kang Shengzhe: "I want to take the championship."

The school senior's expression froze at the onset of those words before it changed and there was an unspeakable complexity on his visage. "Having ambition is a good thing but the championship... will be quite difficult, mainly because this year is a little different since I don't know which beast of burden..."

The school senior abruptly cut off his own words and looked left and right before he pulled Kang Shengzhe to whisper, "You're not clear about it because you're a new student, but in the annual basketball competition that A University hosts every year, only thirty-one faculties participate. Thirty-one, do you get it? The Physical Education Institute is not included. Their Institute typically hosts their own basketball competition, and they're usually not allowed to participate in such large-scale events."

Feeling strange, Kang Shengzhe asked: "Why?"

The school senior gave him a look, "The basketball team in A University is famous, and they're known to have no opponent in City A. If they were to attend, then we don't have any prospects of winning even if we were to play. Hence, there's a tacit understanding that they're not allowed to participate in annual basketball competition, but there was a school senior from the Physical Education Institute in the School Student Union this year who insisted and protested. In the end, after he kicked up a fuss for a few days, the school had no choice but to add the Physical Education Institution into the mix."

The two of them were talking in soft whispers and someone at the side called out to them loudly: "Hey, what are you guys talking about!"

The school senior choked and he turned his head back to shout: "What else can we talk about! We were talking the lot drawing, let's see who we're drawing for the first round this year and blow them up!"

A wave of war cries reverberated from the basketball court. Kang Shengzhe picked up a ball and returned back to his basketball team. Just as the school senior was about to continue elaborating on their topic of conversation, Kang Shengzhe opened his mouth to let out a big yawn.
