The boy didn't take glory back to his team with brute strength or martial art skills, he took it with his own intelligence and his creativity. He had been fighting other teams with his skills and brute strength before getting to the final round, but he know Lindsay team is not a match for him, not just because they outnumbered him but because of their individual skills.
He knew Alice alone could take him on without the interference of her teammates but because they knew next to nothing about his ability, he used the advantage on them.
Straitgate College and their fans were over the moon after the win, they just need Lindsay Academy to lose the football final round to Royal Maniac, then the APST will come to them.

After the martial art final ended, everyone moves back to the dormitory town to rest for the day and prepare for tomorrow's last event, the football final.
In a large room in one of the teachers and organizers office, two men in black overcoat stood besides the window with their hands in their pocket as they stare down, far into the booming dormitory town as the students have fun. The one at the right side is taller than the other and had a slender body, while the other is relatively short but with a well built body.
After a few minutes, the shorter one speaks.
"Why would you just do that without asking for everyone's opinion."
Coach Sao said.
"If you had told me what Emmy explain to the team about the Royal Maniac players, I wouldn't have told them to loss the match, it's all your fault."
Davies complained.
"My fault? You didn't even inform anyone before telling them to lose on purpose and why do you think it's right for us to lose that exact event, if they had won, the football final will be played with no pressure and everyone will enjoy the game even if we lose. And now you're telling me that we must win it, you're putting pressure on me, I can't even think straight again."
Coach Sao replied, a bit sad and offended.
"Just make sure to win at all cost, it will benefit both of us and the school as winning will also take to you the next level and I know that winning this match is very important to you, so do all your best and try not to lose at all cost. And I'll keep my promise if you do so."

Emmy and Sunny walk towards their room tirelessly, they've spent alot of time having fun all around the town after the martial art final ended, they both walk towards their room holding onto each other as they walk like a drunkard.
As Emmy unlocked the door with the pass code, he saw something white slightly peeking out behind the pass code device, he brought it out and could see it's a paper, designed like an envelope.
"What's that?" Sunny asked, moving closer to Emmy as he opened the design and could see a few worlds written on the paper.
*MEET ME OUTSIDE THE DORM GATE.*
They both look at each other thinking who dropped the paper and who the message is meant for.
"Let's go together."
They both rushed off, down the hallway as they head to the mechanical elevator. In an instant, they got to the last floor of their building and head straight to the gate of the dormitory town.
Getting to the outside of the dorm gate, they were both confused. Standing under the peach tree at the left side is the clingy girl, Linda scrolling through her phone with a relaxed expression on her face, while at the right side a few metres away from the gate is Alice, sitting on the street bench also scrolling through her phone.
They both looked at each other and said at the same time.
"Is it from your clingy girlfriend?"
"Did your girlfriend send it?"
They looked at each other, confused and said again, at the same time.
"Are you crazy, she's not my girlfriend."
"Shut up, I clearly rejected her at the show."
Sunny was about to say something again before Emmy shoved a piece of doughnut in his mouth.
"Listen idiot, don't ever call her my girlfriend again, she just helped me a few times, Okay? Now let's talk about who might send this message."
He chew the doughnut, swallow and smile at Emmy darkly.
"I knew you stole the doughnut, but it finally came to me."
Sunny said with a smile.
"Just keep quiet, I only kept it for you."
Emmy said, turning his head away, and speak again.
"Now if we think about it well, we'll rule Linda out of the league, she can't send the message as people from other city can't get to our section of the dorm, so there's no how she can place it on our door."
He contemplated.
"So do you think it came from Alice? Then let's hear her out, it would be nice if she finally propose to you, she's been stealing a glance at you recently."
Sunny said, already on his way to Alice.
"Hey bastard, come here, propose? My foot."
Emmy shouted, running after him. His voice had attracted Linda from her comfort zone and as she looked up, she could see Sunny walking towards the girl on the street bench while Emmy was running after him.
"Did that bastard want to propose to that girl? Damn it, he publicly rejected me even after singing a love song for me. Well, I'll just spoil the proposal for you."
She said as she keep her phone and follow them.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Emmy, Kai the united squad captain stood under a tree just outside the gate, but he wasn't standing close to the road side, he just stood at a corner with his phone as he sometimes look up at those who come out of the gate and those who return.
It's already sunset so the students are slowly returning back from the city as 8pm is the curfew time, so Kai only look up when people are returning and thus, he failed to notice Emmy and Sunny after they stepped out of the gate.
"Why isn't he here, did he not see the letter?"
"But that boy told me he delivered it to where he would notice it so why isn't he here."
"It will soon be the curfew time and I need to tell him about these people's abilities if they want to win against us."
"So sad I can't enter their building and I won't be able to tell him on the field. Damn, I tried my best to help you out Emmy."
The message actually came from Kai as he plans to inform Emmy about his teammates ability so he would at least have a chance in scoring a goal against them, he don't know why he's doing this, maybe because he had played side by side with Emmy on the field than those people or because he's among Lindsay Academy fans or it's something else, Kai didn't really know, he just wanted to do it.
So sad Emmy isn't showing up even after Kai waited for more than an hour.

Sunny was the first to approach Alice as he sat besides her on the street bench and said with a cheerful smile making the girl flinched a little.
"Hey, why do you wanna see us."
Confused, Alice looked around a few times trying to see if the boy is talking to her, and as she turned around, she could see Emmy approaching from behind.
'What is he doing here, and what's wrong with this one.'
Not knowing what to say, she cleared her throat and opened her mouth to say something but closed it back, she just don't know what to say. The reply she wanted to give is right on her mind but the cheerful smile plastered on the popular musician face is keeping her from speaking and Emmy's appearance in front of her also dumbfounded her.
She knew the boy has changed from what she used to know of him, he had really changed that she herself couldn't believe that this is the Emmy in her class some months ago, but she's happy about it, she's really happy that the boy changed for good and the confident aura around him is oppressive. He even found himself a good friend that they do good things together.
But why are they here, and what does the boy mean by his question.
Emmy stood in front of her and brought out a paper from his pocket and speaks.
"We found th-...."
"You don't need to worry guys, the bills will be on me, let's go catch a dinner."
A voice interrupted him from behind before a very soft hand curled around his neck, he turned around and could see a very beautiful face with a cheerful smile besides him.
"This bitch, what the hell are y-..."
He got interrupted again as he was about to remove the girl's hand from his neck.
"Hey hey, calm down, I've been wanting to do this for you, just think of it as gift for not disappointing me in the match against Straitgate College."
Sunny said with a wide smile on his face as he brought out his phone and took a pics of Emmy and the girl. Emmy's vein bulge.
"You backstabber, you planned this, isn't it? I'll kill you!"
Emmy shouted as he a took step walking towards Sunny, but Linda held him tight and draw him closer.
"Don't spoil the fun with you bad temper, let's just have a peaceful dinner."
Linda said still holding his hand tightly, Sunny also come to his left, holding his other hand.
"That would be nice."
Sunny said as they started walking forward with Emmy in between the two as they dragged him along.
Alice stare at them in surprise and confusion.
"Did he find himself a girlfriend, I thought that girl is over his brother."
A confused and sad expression appeared on her face, then she felt someone hold her arm from the side.
"Yes she's after me, but I hate her. Come join us so I won't be left alone over there."
'How did he get here without me sensing any movement, damn.'
She felt embarrassed.
