Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns
Chapter 82 e talent Ava pouted and thought, âWeâve been trying so hard to become Vincentâs apprentices, but Elysia, with her great talent, doesnât seem to mind at all. Is that the difference between a genius and us mary folks?â
âAre you finished with your drawing?â Elysia asked.
Hearing this, Ava grinned, a bit embarrassed. She was confident at first, but after seeing Elysiaâs work, she realized hers was not up to snuff.
âAlmost there,â she said, addin a few more strokes before putting the drawing into the tube.
Returning to Class 6, Ava looked around the classroom, puzzled. She thought, âWhere did everyone go? Shouldnât they all be studying here at this time?â
Just then, she saw Grace coming in from outside. Ava quickly stopped her to ask, âWhere did everyone go?â
Grace glanced into the classroom and replied, âTheyâre playing basketball with Class 1 on the court.â
âWith Class 1?â Ava said in disbelief. She thought, âSince when did Class 6 start having basketball games with Class 1?â
âActually, itâs not just playing basketball; to be precise, itâs a competition,â Grace said.
âWhat do you mean?â Ava ed.
Upon hearing this, Grace looked at Elysia with a bit of sarcasm. âItâs because of her. During the Winter Games parade, someone in Class 1 said a fight with them.â something nasty, and Eric wasnât having it, so he got Ava was completely baffled and see whatâs happening.â
to ask more questions, but Elysia took her hand and said, âLetâs go check out the basketball court, and youâll âThatâs right!â Ava finally understood, quickly taking the poster tubes off their shoulders and placing them on the desk before dashing off with Elysia. Grace watched them leave and decided to follow.
Grace hadnât intended to get involved, but with Elysia going, the basketball game suddenly seemed interesting. Grace was curious to see how Elysia would react when she saw the students getting into a conflict because of her and their classmates.
When they arrived at the court, it already crowded with people, so they had to squeeze their way in.
They expected to guys playing ha on the court, but instead, they saw some girls playing. And they werenât exactly basketball experts either.
The whistle blew, the referee held up two One of the girls stood there looking confused, holding the basketball. Eric was on the sidelines, stomping his foot in frustration.
âWhat are you standing there for? Pass it!â
The girl heard him and immediately threw the ball. One of the girls from Class 1 quickly jumped fingers, and the scorekeeper quickly turned two pages on the scoreboard.
РоÑа score Ð¾Ñ catch it, dribbled, and made the basket.
Only then did Ava notice the score was 0 to 5. Their team had 0. Class 1 had five. If things continued like this, they were going to lose.
Ava grabbed Elysiaâs hand, walked over to Eric, and asked, âWhatâs going on here?â
Hearing the familiar voice, Eric looked at them, a bit surprised. âWhen did you get here? Werenât you in the art room?â
âWe just got here. Why are the girls playing basketball?â Ava asked.
Upon hearing this, Eric frowned, âThose guys in Class 1 are scared theyâll lose to us if they match up against the boys, so they suggested that the girls play instead. But there arenât many girls in our class who can play basketball!â
âAnd look at the girls in their class, not the best players ever, but they know how to play the game!â
Ava nodded. âTheyâre good at scheming! Eric, what are we going to do? If this keeps up, weâre bound to lose!â
âIâll do it!â Elysia stared straight ahead, eyes full of determination. According to Grace, todayâs issue was because of her. So, she decided to settle it herself.
When they heard Elysiaâs words, everyone seemed to see a ray of hope. âYeah, Elysia can catch a ball with her bare hands!â
âNot only that, but sheâs also amazing at shooting!â Sterling added.
12:08 PM Chapter 82 Eric also recalled the first time he saw Elysia, right on this court. She had caught an oncoming ball with her hands and precisely shot it into the hoop. If it werenât for that situation, Elysiaâs transfer into Class 6 wouldnât have been so easy.
They had to go along with their welcoming ceremony at least once. Elysia had already found a small hair tie in her pocket and pulled her hair up high, revealing her fair neck. At that moment, she looked like a warrior, glowing brilliantly.
Ava couldnât look away, amazed by the sight. He thought his admiration for Elysia grew just a little more, After the first game ended, the team members went on break. Taking advantage of some free time, Eric went to the scorekeepers and swapped Elysia in.
The second game began, and Elysia stepped onto the court. She seemed to bring light with her, capturing everyoneâs attention.
âThatâs Elysia, right? Who wouldâve thought she could play basketball?â
âMaybe sheâs just there to fill the team! Sheâll get totally outplayed!â
âYeah, I donât believe she can actually play basketball!â
Grace listened to the whispers of her classmates, feeling pleased with herself. These days, there were hardly any smart girls who had a good family and could play basketball. She didnât think Elysia was one of those rare girls.
Grace grinned and thought, âElysia can play basketball? I donât believe it!â
Bianca stood on the sidelines and watched as Elysia stepped onto the court. Her first instinct was to see Justinâs reaction. His eyes never left Elysia. Biancaâs eyes showed a brief moment of surprise, and she silently prayed that Elysia would lose badly, hopefully becoming the laughingstock of the entire school.
But they were destined to be disappointed. As soon as Elysia got into the game, everything changed in an instant. Her movements were smooth, even cooler than most guys, and she looked quite impressive.
Everyoneâs eyes followed Elysiaâs every move as she easily dodged those trying to block her and sprinted down the court. Elysia was like a brave warrior princess; whenever she got the ball, she always made the basket.
âBoom!â Another basket. The whistle blew and the referee held up two fingers. The scoreboard now showed 6-0, with their team leading. Cheers erupted across the court.
âWow! That was so awesome!â
âI canât believe girls can play ball this cool!â
âNo way, Iâm totally becoming a fan now!â
Amid everyoneâs exclamations, Elysia got the ball again. This time, she stood outside the threeâpoint line and threw it vigorously.
Everyone held their breath, eyes following the ballâs movement.
âBoom!â Another cheer around the court. The referee signaled three points to the scorekeeper, who quickly turned three pages, and the scoreboard now read 9-0.
Ava cheered with excitement, âElysia! Youâre amazing!â
