Clarissa held Arabella's slender arm and said, "Bella, you've worked so hard to get us the USB drive. Each one of us is putting in effort, and now we need to stay united and keep pushing forward!" At that moment, Donavan spoke up, "Count me in too, I want to join the competition."
Arabella quickly refused, "No, your arm..."
"Bella, it's just a fracture in my right arm, but I still have my left hand. I'll guide them on the court, and with me there, they'll have the backbone. Don't worry, I'll be careful," Donavan reassured. Arabella didn't insist any further and nodded, "Okay."
"Let's go, let's give it our all!"
Everyone reached out their hands, stacking them one by one, and shouted words of encouragement together.
Compared to the passionate atmosphere of Team Guerrio, Team Teaganian seemed lifeless. The referee blew the whistle, and they stepped onto the court with heavy hearts. The game began.
Arabella stood by and watched, while Donavan, despite his injured right hand, coordinated seamlessly with the team. They quickly scored two points.
Wow!
The audience burst into applause.
"It seems like Team Guerrio's captain injured his right hand."
"He's playing in the competition even with an injury. Respect!"
"Team Guerrio is shining brighter than Team Teaganian, and it feels like a different Team Guerrio altogether.
"Perhaps Team Guerrio isn't as weak as we imagined."
Mr. Pannell, the school's principal, had been observing everything. However, he did not intervene. He wanted these determined and rebellious kids to face setbacks and grow up faster.
Mr. Pannell approached Arabella and chuckled softly, "Bella, that USB drive in your hand is fake, isn't it?"
Arabella looked at the basketball court as Team Guerrio scored another four points. She nodded, "Yes, it's fake."
"You little troublemaker. By holding a

fake USB drive, you've intimidated the entire Team Teaganian. Now they are formented by fear and can't play well. This is when Team Guerrio's morale is soaring. Bella, you've played this move so well!" Mr. Pannell praised.
Arabella smiled, her lips curving with a hint of coldness in her bright eyes. "They brought this upon themselves. If I don't hit back hard and make them cry, wouldn't it disappoint them?"
Mr. Pannell looked at the girl beside him who was just 20 years old. The wind gently rustled her long hair, adding a touch of elegance to her extraordinary charm. She confidence, courage, and intelligence. It was captivating and made people want to worship her.
What an amazing girl!
Perhaps, she could make Guerrio University different from now on.
Suddenly, the entire arena erupted in cheers as Donavan tiptoed and perfectly threw the last basketball with his intact left hand.
The referee's whistle blew, and Team Guerrio crushed Team Teaganian with a score of 43 to 21, becoming the champion.
