Born Too Late

"Good job!"

Smack!

Kiernan and Ariadne high-fived. Both of them were still sweating from the exhausting match of Punch Ball.

"Thanks for the pass~"

She said with a smile.

The crowd then started dispersing. Most of them headed for a swim or went to shade under the trees to cool off. A few went to train despite the immense heat.

"Whew…"

After exchanging high fives with the rest of the team, Kiernan returned to the cottage and saw the rest of Karuza High waiting for him.

"You're alright? I saw you get kicked in the leg."

Coach Jin said with a serious look.

He was afraid that because of the heated match of Punch Ball, Kiernan might actually get injured like Kenneth did, which made him want to pull Kiernan out of the match, but in the end, Sabbath convinced him not to.

"Yeah, I am fine."

Kiernan replied.

He was only feeling slightly light-headed because of the intense heat and dehydration from the match.
