Team had already been formed by the time Aaran was picked. Either by coincidence or planning, Alicia and the Marki brothers were on the same side, while Aaran was on the other team.
The professor had already explained the rules, so the game started without any delays. But before that, two appointed captains were called to the center for the toss.
"Heads."
"Tails!"
The professor smirked as Aaran's team lost. It meant Alicia's team would get the ball first.
"Deor, launch the ball," Alicia said, tossing the ball to him.
Deor looked at Theo, who nodded. Theo was the appointed leader, but it seemed everyone wanted to follow Alicia, so he didn't bother arguing with her. Besides, as long as she took Aaran out of the match, nothing else mattered.
Deor launched the ball over his head as asked. Alicia ran at it before jumping in the air and kicking the ball with all her strength. Everyone was surprised by her ferocity. No one expected the saintess to have such monstrous strength.
