"Game point...."
And just like that, we were in a Game Point. We needed one more point to win the match.
The points were 14:13. You ask how did they get those two points.
Well, that's simply, it wouldn't be fun if I defeated them so easily right?
So yeah I gave them two free points. I don't know why I did that but I think, I like it when I see someone losing something after working so hard to get close to that thing..... I might be a psychopath. After all, I am no Saint here...
"Haa..haa.."
A tired look could be seen on both of their faces, well what can I say I had my share of fun here making them run here and there like dogs. I have good stamina and reflexes, so it was not that difficult to return the balls, But it seemed they were on the edge of their limit thought.
"Start..."
As I got the signal, I threw the ball up in the air and hit it with 20% of my actual strength. Yes, over 30% they can't even react to the ball, so it's no fun playing like that.
THUD...
The ball got inside the opponent's court and bounced once and then slowed its speed making them confused as to where they should hit and how much strength they should use.
THUD...
The guy in front who was surprised because of an unexpected slow shot came out of his retrieve and hit the ball a little harder to return it toward me.
THUD...
This time I didn't move from my area as Alice had recovered enough to hit the ball making the game more unfair for them.
The worried look can be easily seen in their faces as if they were thinking 'Isn't this monster was enough for us know she is also back in the game'.
THUD...
The ball passed again towards me with full force, though the tired look could be seen on their faces. I could have easily ended the game by using a little more strength in my shot but I refrained myself and enjoyed defeating them slowly.
Why you ask I don't know.... I think I like the look they are making...
The ball got bounced again in their court moving towards the guy in the back. And with a heavy look on his face, the guy hit the ball sending it towards us again.
Though the 15-point match is not much bigger to make anyone tired they didn't expect that I will not let them go away that easily.
I shot the ball in different directions by controlling my speed, air resistance, strength, and wrist control. Yes, I was able to learn how to control my shots, I was able to do it Just by examining them and Playing my shot two to three times.
Now I am skilled enough to use various variations in my shot. Like swinging my ball in the air and changing its direction as to where it will go.
It was much simpler than I thought, I just had to control my wrist and hit the ball in a way that it gets maximum swing against the air resistance which then resulted in it changing its direction and changing its path in mid-air.
Which is very tricky to return to us. It's the same concept as how a bowler throws his ball in a cricket match or a baseball match. However, this time I am just using a Racquet to make the ball spin.
THUD....
The guy in the back with a tired look ran towards his left side to strike the ball back to us.
'Now let's end this...'
I thought to myself as I knew that the other strick would be the end of that guy.
THUD...
So this time I used my 25% strength in the hit with some wrist control, this time I hit the ball at a 45-degree angle which resulted in the ball getting as minimum air resistance as it could. This resulted in the ball's spine getting much slower which effectively doubled its projectile motion and because of that the ball fell in front of the front guy's leg which startled the guy and because of that he fell down in his knees.
The guy in back took his place and tried to hit the ball. And that is exactly what I wanted to happen here.
The air resistance was very low in this shot which means there was a very low spine in the ball. And as the ball hit the ground and then bounced towards him it would need more force to get the ball across the net. Though it is theory I think that should work here.
THUD...
He hit the ball with his tired arms and wasn't able to give much spin and force to the ball. The ball didn't get much velocity to pass the net.
Thud..thud..thud...
And due to that the ball collided with the net resulting in it falling on their court which ultimately gained us the points we needed to win this match.
As the match ended the whole area and everyone there turned silent as no one thought that we would be able to pull that off.
"You...you did it... You did it..."
Until Alice decided to break the silence and said with a shaking voice. And any, one can tell that she was shocked and a little bit happy after winning the bet.
"Well it seems, I did it..."
"Yes, you di... I mean yeah you did.."
For a second Alice lost her Calm there but was able to control her Boling emotions there.
CLAP..CLAP..CALP..
Then we heard someone clapping and turned around to see that it was Akram who was walking towards us.
"I didn't think you would be able to pull this of. Great job there.."
He spoke as he nodded his head with appreciation in his eyes with a little disappointment there which he wasn't able to hide from me.
"So now that we have won this challenge then you are going to answer our questions..."
"Hold it there Alice, I didn't say I would answer your questions..."
Hearing her Alice narrowed her eyes while I knew where this was going so I just stood there without any problem. As I wasn't even tired there.
"What do you mean Akram you said you would answer our questions if we won didn't you..."
"Yes I did but you are not saying everything I spoke there Alice..."
"I said I will think about answering your questions Alice... I never said I will answer. Thinking and doing have much difference between them Alice..."
Akram spoke as he flashed a smug look on his face and For a second there, I saw Alice losing her Calm there, as her hand clenched but she stopped herself as she knew if she did something here then this would make things difficult for us in the long run.
"Hey, are you mentally ill or something..."
Then Suddenly Akram turned towards me and said that as he looked at me with a weird look and hearing him even Alice looked at me and showed a surprised look and seeing both of them I narrowed my eyes...
'Why they are looking at me like that...'
I thought to myself as they kept staring at me as if they had seen something that they didn't expect to see from me.
"Hey dude stop smiling like that it's very creepy..."
Suddenly Akram spoke as he looked at me with a disgusted look, I didn't know what he was talking about but then I felt it.
As I used my hand to touch my face, I could feel it... My lips curled up wide open and I could feel my heart suddenly rising.
It was a feeling that I never felt before..... It was..... Happiness.....
I don't know why I felt it but now I can feel it. My face was flashing a creepy distroted smile.
And then I understood what was happening... It was the first time anyone tried to challenge me...my heart....my mind...My whole body...it was exciting...I am excited.
I was relieved that this guy didn't accept the purposely right away..... I was happy.....now that I can... Torment him.....till he accepts it.....
"Let's go, Alice...We don't have to waste our time here...."
I spoke to Alice as I turned around to hide the face I was making.....which looked no more than a devil peeking out and seeing it's praying in front of him...
And this time Alice was also so surprised that she didn't say anything to me and just followed me from behind making some distance between us... I could feel her suprised and suspicious gaze on me, But It didn't matter as I was thinking about my future course of action with a excited look.
