The locker room's door blasted open.
"Whew!" Timothy and Klaus plopped down on their benches with their cheeks still flushed in excitement.
Jin scrolled through his phone's messages and said, "The principal said good job to everyone. We've now reached the round of 16!"
"Yes, mom."
Ryan finished his phone call and, in exhaustion, laid down on his bench and gulped down the water bottle as if he hadn't drunk anything for a week.
"We're now in the top 16 of the nation!" Klaus exclaimed. "That's like insanely good!"
Kiernan entered the locker room with a towel wrapped around his shoulders and drank some water while listening to everyone's excited talks.
Beep, beep!
At that moment, Jin received an urgent message.
With a frown, he read it through.
"Apparently the next matchups are announced by the commentators." Jin said and pointed at the television. "Keep the eye on the television."
