"What happened?" he asked.
"Didn't you see our next matchup?" Klaus felt like crying crocodile tears. "Ambrossa High, cursed!"
"Are they any good?" Kiernan asked.
"Good? Better than that." Ryan scratched the back of his head. "They're the third strongest school in the nation, spearheaded by Kasimir Kerr!"
"Yeah, I met that guy. He was among the top 5 youths." Kiernan sat down and took a sip of the water. "I expected him to be good."
"That's not all…" Nathaniel, still slightly depressed about the last match, said. "If we win, our quarterfinal match will be against Tiamut High."
"It's not looking good." Timothy nudged his glasses. "They're opponents that are beyond our league for now."
