Two more months of training will be tough, but we want you to win the all-around competition and bring glory to the team and our country. So, we need to master your routine with finesse,” he declared, his voice firm but encouraging.

“I understand, Coach. Thank you for your trust. I will work harder,” Lily replied with unwavering respect, bowing slightly.

Coach Carlos walked over to Fatty, his imposing figure casting a long shadow. “Let’s talk. Come here,” he said, his tone leaving no room for refusal. Fatty stood up, his respect for Lily’s coach evident as he faced the renowned mentor.
