You Deserve The Credit

Kai stared at the lit flame and sighed in relief. He then glanced at Fernando and saw that he was being swarmed by the press right after the ceremony ended. 

That was another win for him! He still wasn't used to the cameras, so the fact that all of them went to Fernando was a good thing. 

There was an incentive he was looking forward to. 

[Mission success] 

[+100 XP] 

[New level: Enigma (485/600)] 

There it was. 

Aside from the pride and prestige of being part of the torch-lighting ceremony, Kai was looking forward to his level upgrade. It was right on time for their first game tomorrow with the Australian team. 

He was about to walk back to his team when he felt a heavy arm around his shoulder. He turned around, startled, and found the rest of the basketball team already there. 

He smiled in amusement and shook his head. 

"Not going to lie," Jian said with a small smile. "That was awesome."
