"Thanks, Darwin!" Dino replied cheerfully.

"You're welcome!" Darwin answered just as cheerfully. "And I hope you can do even better during the competitions." Then he turned to Eric and Wilson before saying, "Eric, Wilson, well done too."

Just then, Coach James called for everyone to assemble as the training for the day had ended. Dino and the others did so until they were all gathered properly.

"Okay! Good job, everyone!" Coach James declared in a lively manner. "I'll be expecting more improvements from all of you up until before the competitions begin. In the meantime, I also hope that each of you would find the strength to believe in yourselves no matter what. Also, I hope we can all be cooperative and united, and also build strong relationships with one another. That's all for today. You're dismissed."

Just then, Darwin approached Wilson and said, "Wilson, I'll be talking to you after we dress up."
