Hamlyn was standing tall with a confident smile playing on his face, while all his classmates were looking back at him, matching his smile.
“Hamlyn,” Teacher Sarah called, drawing Hamlyn’s attention, “You should finalize the scout team for the final day first.” she suggested.
Hamlyn’s smile grew wide, and he turned his eyes back to his classmates, who all seemed determined and confident……
As evening fell, all the classes were gathered in groups, standing before Todoka and Narumi sensei who stood facing all the groups.
“Today is the final day of this game.” Todoka sensei began in a commanding tone, “For this final day your task is to bring the hidden stones back, the team with the most points will win!”
Narumi sensei swept her gaze over the students before speaking, “Now, the scout teams for the final day, step forward!”
One by one all the teams began stepping forward, standing before their gathered classmates.
