A new day started after that event.The academy posted the announcement without warning.It was early morning. Most players were still tired and sleepy from cultural event rehearsals and late-night team bonding.
Raj was walking toward the stitching hall when a junior sprinted past him, holding a printed sheet.
"Trial squads are up!" the boy shouted, voice echoing across the corridor.
Raj paused.He wasn't expecting another match so soon.Especially not after delivering a full glove order, finishing a system quest, and watching Spandana reveal her heart through dance.
But the board didn't care about emotions.It only listed names and his name was on it.
Squad B – Match 2 (Main Trial Field)
3rd Batsman: Raj Pavan (RajCraft)
Bowler to Watch: Aditya S. (Delhi South Division)
Raj's eyes paused on that name.
Aditya.
