Cyen was completely down, listening the ball being dribbled by Ivan and Ivan didn't understand why he is so down, but thought that maybe Cyen didn't want him to be there, but now Ivan can't leave either because he tried to leave but he couldn't, he was refused to leave until the third round ends and Ivan just smiled with a sweat, but he was feeling just hopeless and he had to play.
Miyu didn't understand why Cyen's so down, he came to him and asked, "Why are you so down? Is it because of Ishan's big brother? He is just a beginner and would just know how to dribble and nothing else, come on, let's play and be joyous, we will win easily, don't worry."
And Cyen smiled with a sweat and looked at Miyu and kept his hand on Miyu's shoulder and said, "Ok... I can't explain you why am I so afraid, but you will know soon...you just wait, and watch. The only thing we can do here is to just give our best to this game, let's go."
Miyu didn't understand but he just started walking to the field and everyone started shouting when the five players of the school arrived, they all shouted cheering and Ivan was also supporting them, Ivan stopped dribbling and the referee hold the ball and he was going to bounce it and every player came in between and Ivan was in front and in front of him was Aid, and Aid smiled creepily, thinking that he will only win.
Elisa was also there, cheering Cyen...but she suddenly saw Ivan, and she was left frozen, "...He is also here? Is here someone his family member who studies here?"
The game was going to began, the referee blew the whistle and bounced the basketball and Aid and Ivan jumped and Ivan was higher than Aid and Ivan caught the basketball, escaped Aid easily, entered in the opponent's field and he just threw the basketball from far...everyone was just watching it, and the ball came in the hoop...and it was a score for Ivan's random team...and everyone was left shocked.
"...Huh? He...plays basketball as well?" Even Elisa was shocked.
All the four were in a great shock, and Cyen smiled with a sweat and patted on Miyu's shoulder again and said, "I already said...this just the beginning, we are going to be cooked for sure."
Ivan ran to his field and his team was surprised, they looked at Ivan and asked, "How old are you?"
Ivan looked at them, the question was strange but he answered, "...19, I guess?"
The guy laughed, "You guess? Anyway, in which college are you?"
"I don't go to college." Ivan answered and the guy was shocked, "What?!"
"Yes? Now you tell me about yourself, why am I feeling...your three companions, they are your friends? And...are you four in a basketball team, in a college?"
And Noah and his friends were shocked, they didn't even showed their skills and Ivan assumed and his assumption was also perfect. They four were just here to show their attitude to kids...but someone even better than them has joined them, they all were surprised but Noah just smiled and asked, "Do you know strategies or anything about basketball?"
Ivan got the ball once again and denied, "Nah, I don't play basketball much and don't have much knowledge either, I just played a month ago at a park, there only I met that kid, his name is Cyen." And Noah was speechless and he looked at Cyen...and Cyen was sitting at a corner, completely down and having no idea how he is going to win.
Ichinose threw some popcorn at the guy and said, "You were going to kill Zara, weren't you? Now who will pay for the injuries of Ishan? Bleeding is a serious case, if Zara...tries to go to court and if you got caught for try to murder...you will stay at jail for long, I guess."
Zara was speechless...and she looked at Ishan's hand bleeding and it was still stabbed with the knife and she looked at Ishan, but Ishan was completely calm, actually laughing from inside and looking at Ichinose's acting and entertainment.
But the guy smiled even after hearing the normal threat by Ichinose and said, "You don't know, I am from a rich family--" But Ishan with craziness on his face, hold the guy's collar and punched straight at his face and Ichinose threw popcorn on Ishan and said, "It really doesn't matter, even if you buy judiciary, Ishan and I am not going to leave you for sure. We will beat until you didn't start crying."
Ishan looked at Ichinose and said, "Taking credit? What are you even doing here except watching and having and throwing popcorn?" And Ichinose took out a small camera and started laughing loudly, "You misjudged me, Ishan...I was recording everything, except the scene in which you punched him, and we have a proof!" And Ishan was surprised but he was also laughing more loudly from inside by the over acting of Ichinose.
Zara was just left speechless, she walked one step ahead and said, "...Ishan--"
Ishan suddenly looked at Zara, normally like nothing happened and he is completely fine and with a panic said, "Sara, why are you here? Go--"
"And disappear in a crowd," Ichinose stopped eating or throwing popcorn and he finally stretched his arms and said, "A whole gang of this guy is going to come, for sure...because he has already called them." And Ishan and Zara looked at the guy's pocket and it made a voice, of a call being cut and they were shocked, "Ishan, you take her away, I will take care of him and if his gang comes, join me when you think that you have saved Zara and should leave her."
Ishan was surprised, but he just smiled and dropped the guy, hold Zara's hand and started running away and shouted, "You are too much strange, Ichinose...but I will rely on you, hold and I will be there quickly and join you, if you want more popcorn then say right now."
Ichinose smiled, "No, I am done." And Ishan and Zara ran away and rushed to the health care if Zara would be fine...and Zara was just looking at Ishan with eyes of surprises...but she didn't say anything.
