Sky Drop

Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum!

Drumsticks pounded against the drums furiously. It was a powerful rhythm that echoed through the entire stadium.

It was never-ending and blood-pumping.

Through the several entrances, the remaining schools walked to their respective rings, heavy tension lingering in the air like a storm about to break.

"And just like that, the second round of the nationals is about to begin!"

The commentator shouted into the microphone.

Zvezda High's members took their place at their bench. They were wearing their jerseys of red and gold with a pickaxe embroidered on the front.

"It looks like no one really expects us to win."

Nessa, the first fighter of the team, said while scrolling through social media on her phone. She went through some comments on their upcoming match against Karuza High.

"Heh~ We are fighting against a winning contender, after all~"

Mikhail said with a loud laugh and a grin on his face.
