Chapter 115 - Closing Ceremony

Just like that, the APST has gone to Lindsay Academy after winning the football final, their fans has gone wild as they celebrate all over the city, the end result of the match was unexpected and Emmy's picture was painted everywhere as they move around.

And talking of Emmy, the Principal had called him after the victory ceremony ended and their celebration, they're both sitting on a round table opposite each other with juice drink on the table, in a cozy room.

Emmy haven't touched his drink but the Principal had the glass of his drink resting on his lips.

He smile as he speaks.

"I must admit, you surprised everyone with your performance, nobody expected you to be such a rare gem, not only did you made my dream of winning the APST come true but you also secure a position for Coach Sao in the football world, so I must reward you for what you have done."

Emmy was calm as he listen to the Principal gibberish, he didn't even say a word nor did he look surprised or blink his eyes. No he just sits there looking at the Principal, the man also found it weird for how calm and composed he is.

"When we arrive back at school in the city after the summer holiday, come visit me at my office on the first day of resumption, I have a gift for you."
