Tang Wulin knew the battle was hopeless, but he did not cower and surrender. Even in defeat he would stand with his back straight and head held high. It wasn't just his own pride that he had to protect. He stood there on the stage as the champion of the entire first grade.
Defeat was acceptable, but surrender was not!
All of the first grade students got to their feet, standing straight and watching the finale with clenched fists. At that moment, all of their hearts were united as they desperately hoped Tang Wulin would create a miracle.
That's our Class President!
Wu Siduo clenched her fists tighter than anyone else, her knuckles strained white. She yearned to be up on that stage with them! Maybe, just maybe... if I were up there too, maybe we could have won this match! You're not allowed to lose, Tang Wulin!
Up on the platform, Elder Cai nodded slightly. "Even in defeat, there is honor. He's living up to the legacies of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect."
