[Summit School of Excellence]
When Penny and Slater returned to the open court, they stopped as soon as they arrived. Deep lines appeared between their brows as they looked around at the audience, who were oddly silent for some reason.
"What's going on?" Slater blurted out under his breath. "If I didn't know better, I'd think we just walked into a church."
That's how quiet the place was.
"Did something—"
"Woahhh!!!"
Penny and Slater jumped from their spot in surprise as the entire court shook with everyone's united cheering. Their eyes widened in horror and confusion. Looking around the court, they saw that everyone had returned to cheering as if nothing had just happened.
"What is going on…?" Penny trailed off, her eyes drifting to the open court. As she did, she couldn't help but glance at the scoreboard, which immediately explained why everyone had suddenly quieted and then cheered so loudly.
The score was… a tie again.
