The Second Life's

XIV - The Vanhoiren Witch

Next day.

The school field is full again. The event that had stalled yesterday because of certain obstacles was resumed with enthusiasm that did not decrease in the slightest.

The quarrel case yesterday ended with the elimination of the two teams that became the parent of the problem and the students who threw the ball to Vendry received special sanctions.

Felice was still sitting next to Vendry. This man who yesterday entered the clinic room now returned to his typical cold appearance as if he was not the one who was thrown the ball yesterday. At the sight of their homeroom teacher, the 2nd graders showed light attention and after seeing their teacher as usual, nothing else bothered Vendry about her health.

These children are sensitive enough not to bring up the misadventures of their homeroom class in order to maintain the man's self-esteem.

Today the game schedule for the basketball race is overhauled and for now everything is going pretty smoothly. Just like yesterday, throughout the event Vendry just focus on playing his laptop without paying attention to the surrounding.

The event lasts until noon, when the break time is announced. Felice and Feline return to class. Swimming matches are scheduled after recess so half of the students are now getting ready and some are already waiting in the area around the pool.

Felice and his team changed into their swimsuits before gathering at the match site. Half an hour is a time that is not too long and before the official break time ends, all participants and referees are already on the site of the match.

This relay swimming game has 4 members in one team where each member will use a different swimming style.

At the beginning of the day, Felice's team had trained together several times, but as the match approached the day they got bad news.

Three days earlier, one of Felice's swimming team members had a fever due to a food allergy so they had to find a replacement at this crucial time. Fortunately after asking some of their classmates, they finally managed to pull Gracia into their team. Even if they did not have time to practice, but Gracia is good at swimming so they are somewhat relieved.

Their strategy was for Derrick to be the first to go down, given that the first swimmer had to do backstroke swimming that coincided with the chubby boy's skill set. After Derrick will be continued by Feline, Gracia, and the last Felice.

As the whistle rang out, Derrick who was the fattest among his opponents glided like a fish in the water. No one expected the fat boy to be able to swim so quickly without pause.

Vigorous cheers rang out from the excited spectators, especially those who were amazed by Derrick's swimming speed and even to the point of wondering if the boy was not tired?

As Derrick returned to his starting position, Feline unceremoniously jumped straight into the water and did a breaststroke swim. Gracia who was closest to Derrick pulled her friend up. The fat boy was panting, but he smiled silly after finding out that their team was in the leading position at the moment.

Just like Feline did before, Gracia instantly did her part and jumped into the water when Feline returned. The girl is not as fast as Derrick and Feline, but she keeps a distance of about 2 meters from the leading swimmer number two.

When Gracia returns, Felice as the last swimmer shocks the audience as she opens the distance from her opponent every second. If the previous friends had been quick, Felice was on some level more mature than them. This little girl only took a breath once in her path.

Gracia gaped at Felice's speed while Feline and Derrick just smiled happily. At first the reaction of the two of them was the same as Gracia when Felice showed his ability in the training days, obviously during the training week only the other three team members needed to work hard.

When Felice exited the pool, the other swimmers were still busy risking second place.

The first half finally ended with Felice's team entering the semifinals. The jury who announced the result, inevitably looked at Felice's team with appreciation, especially for Felice.

After some rest, the semifinal round began. Due to their previous achievements, Felice's team became one of the teams that received the most attention and just like the previous session their performances drew booming exclamations from the crowd.

"Felice is absolutely amazing. He's like he's trained like a swimming athlete."

Gracia's comments of admiration earned Derrick a serious nod and Feline's proud recognition. For a 7-year-old to make such a comment, it is not usual to be taken seriously by an adult, but Gracia does not carelessly comment because some members of her own family are swimming athletes.

Finally as everyone expected, Felice's team went back to the next session smoothly and in the final session their performance never decreased, especially Felice. When in the final this little girl easily left the other competitors behind and won the first champion without a hitch.

......................

"How's your head?"

"It's better."

On the field, Ella and Vendry sat alone on the empty bench of 2nd class. Most of the spectators here have moved to other places after hearing the excitement about the swimming race match next door, as a result, the field is currently quite quiet and somewhat sad for competitors who compete at this time.

"On yesterday, sorry."

Vendry's fingers sliding over the laptop keyboard stopped and the man raised his head to look at the woman next to him.

Ella sighed and smiled reluctantly, "On me who lost my temper yesterday."

"I obviously know that you're sensitive to that problem, but I'm still implying it and making you think about it" Ella continued.

"Sorry."

"No problem."

Ella looked at the man's profile from the side and smiled, "You've really been yes since this annoying attitude has not changed at all. Even though you yourself are also wrong to vent your frustration on me, why now I'm the one who is guilty of yesterday."

The response Ella received was a slow snort that only the two of them heard.

The warmth returned to Ella's face as she stared at this man who could be considered her friend with an amused glint in her pupils, "Just yes, yes, never imagined by me that one day you could also be thrown the ball."

A knife-sharp gaze directly pierced the woman. Ella was sure that if Vendry's gaze could injure people, she would have a few holes in her body at the moment.

Ck... This arrogant man finally got a reply as well.
