China vs. Germany (4)

The ball swished cleanly through the net, sounding sharp and satisfying. 

The crowd was silent for a moment before they burst into cheers. Kai landed lightly on his feet. 

His teammates stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, in disbelief at what they'd just witnessed.

In front of him, Viktor Schreiber froze. It felt like his heart was ripped out of his chest without warning!

He'd spent years perfecting that move. Blood, sweat, tears, and countless hours in the skating rink! He couldn't even do a triple axel until now! 

However, here was this kid who had not only copied it in seconds but improved upon it!

"That's impossible," Viktor muttered under his breath, shaking his head.

Kai, on the other hand, was still feeling the rush of his upgraded skill. The triple axel spin had felt like second nature to him—like he had practiced it for years. 

His eyes turned to Viktor, who seemed out of it.
