The students crowding the hallway had been so mesmerized and shocked by everything that had happened so far, most of them had completely forgotten to take out their phones.
But now that it was just Max and Ko left standing in the room, phones were suddenly everywhere, raised high, recording every second of what was about to go down.
"Hey, who do you think's gonna win? Should we start a betting pool or something?" one student whispered.
"I mean, Max just took out like half the class. He's gotta be tired by now. Still, I'm kinda rooting for him. Ko and his crew were total jerks to him the whole time."
"Yeah, I feel like they went way too far," another agreed.
"True, but if we're talking about who's gonna win... it's probably Ko. He's got natural talent. I heard all the sports teams begged him to join."
"He's fast, skilled, but hates putting effort into anything. That's why he never signed up. Instead, he ended up living this kind of life."
