Chapter 164: A Different Kind of Girl

Emrys and Amber exchanged a glance before turning back to mingle with their classmates, alongside the boys who had opted to take on the challenge. However, the atmosphere was grim on the side of Class 22D. Albert Sitwell frowned at the boys in his class. "Come on, don't be such cowards. There are more than twenty of you, and only me and Hendrik Stiller are brave enough to step up?" Including Jared Farrell, they were still two players short. "This... it's because we're afraid of losing," a boy said timidly. "What can we do? You know as well as anyone, if we lose, Mr. Farrell and Miss Reed will have to kneel in front of that jerk in public..." He glanced nervously at Jared Farrell and Tina after he spoke.

"We can't just admit defeat without a fight!" Hendrik Stiller was nearly driven mad by their cowardice. Where had the spirit of Class 22D gone? Yet, as the boys looked around at each other, none dared to step forward.

"Then, I'll do it." The students of Class 22D were stunned as a seemingly inconspicuous girl with short hair and glasses, dressed in baggy sports attire, stepped forward and addressed Jared Farrell, "Mr. Farrell, girls can play too, right?" "Do you play basketball?" Jared Farrell asked, eyeing her.

Tina studied the girl, who she recalled was named Courtney Tate. Courtney was average in appearance, neither excelling nor failing in her academics, and in Class 22D, she virtually blended in without any distinct features, except for her notable height of at least 5'8", always sitting quietly in the shadowy back rows of the classroom. Tina barely remembered her.

Her stepping forward was unexpected, causing the whole class to look at her skeptically, doubting her basketball skills. Without a word, Courtney picked up a basketball from a nearby basket, dribbled to the three-point line, jumped, and shot. The ball swished through the net, silencing Class 22D with the sound of success.

"Does that work?" Courtney asked Jared Farrell.

"Yes, you're quite good," Jared Farrell nodded appreciatively, having noticed her skill level from the moment she started dribbling.
