Chapter 201: Chapter 19: Newbie Dwarf PK Arrogant Captain

On the first day of school at noon, Wang Ke entered Wang Guoping’s office with her schoolbag and slammed it onto the desk, grumbling, "Dad, did you take kickbacks again? The whole class is talking about it today, saying there’s something wrong with the quilts provided to the new students, and some are even saying the quilts from our year are problematic."

"Darling daughter, when would your dad do such a thing? The money I earn will all be left for you in the future. It must be Sun Haiping who talks too much and let the cat out of the bag," early today, Wang Guohua took advantage of the students going to class and had the school affairs office collect the quilts from each dormitory building. Now, the ones distributed to the new students, even if not as good as long-staple cotton, are still top-notch quilts, poor him and his over forty thousand yuan in kickbacks.

"It wasn’t Mr. Sun who spread the word. It was during their class’s morning meeting when someone mentioned it. They said there’s a girl named Zhu Xiaoxian in their class, who came from a mountain village, and her family even processes cotton. She noticed the problem with the quilts at a glance and even brought them to class," Wang Ke, like girls her age, loved listening to radio broadcasts, and the programs by Mr. Sun on the school radio station were very popular among the girls.

"A teenage girl says something and he believes it? Zhu Xiaoxian? I’ve heard this name before, let me think," Wang Guohua patted his balding head in the office, then he remembered, the school always asks for an extra set of training clothes for all the sports special admissions students. "I remember now, this Zhu Xiaoxian is the new basketball special admit. She should be your teammate on the basketball team."

"Teammate on the basketball team? Even better. There’s basketball team training this afternoon, the new students should also come. Forget it, Dad, don’t be angry, I’ll get revenge for you," Wang Ke made a promise, father and daughter united as one, strong enough to chop through metal, they surely aren’t afraid of a couple of new students.

Xiao Xian and her roommates discovered their quilts had already been replaced when they returned to the dorm at noon, they had a better impression of the efficiency and responsibility of the physical education representative.

The curriculum at Sacred Heart was simpler than she imagined. It was fairly easy, including the morning’s language, math, and English classes.

Master Shanyin was right in saying that Xiao Xian ought to be in the eighth grade. However, Master Shanyin, who had long resided in the mountains and temples, was not that familiar with city curriculums. Subjects like music and information technology were beyond his expectations, which made Xiao Xian even more interested in learning.

The last class in the afternoon was a foreign language class, taught by the class advisor Sun Hai.

Not long after the class started, Sun Hai found Xiao Xian’s oral and listening skills surprisingly good. Before many students could even comprehend the meaning of the words, she had already given the answers. However, she also had a small flaw—when responding, she never raised her hand, just answered off the cuff.

Such a student is someone both troubling and likable for a teacher. Sun Hai originally planned to keep Xiao Xian after class to learn about her elementary school studies, but considering she and Zhang Yiyi both had to attend the first session of the new students’ basketball training, he sent them to the office to collect two sets of basketball uniforms and head to the gymnasium for training first.

The Sacred Heart Middle School basketball uniform was green. As soon as Xiao Xian put it on, it immediately drew a round of mockery from Zhang Yiyi: there are now two more frogs in Sacred Heart Middle School.

The two joked around and forgot about their hunger as they ran off toward the gymnasium. Upon arrival, they followed the signposts to the basketball court.

On the newly waxed basketball court, not everyone had arrived yet, a few people were practicing shooting, and two or three girls gathered together, chatting.

The women’s basketball team and the men’s basketball team trained separately, with odd-numbered days of the month dedicated to indoor training for the women’s team, while the men’s team would train outdoors, and vice versa on even-numbered days.

"If I had known it wasn’t necessary to be on time, I would have gone to buy some bread first," Zhang Yiyi complained. She had been hungry since her day of classes, with her stomach stuck to her back, and then she saw a girl in the corner of the basketball court casually eating chocolate and tossing the wrapper in the corner.

"Line up," a whistle blew, and all the team members gathered toward the center of the basketball court. A female player dressed in a green-and-white basketball uniform stepped out of the team and stood in the center of the court.

They lined up from tallest to shortest, and Xiao Xian immediately became the ’dwarf’ among the tall girls, standing in the first spot, while Wang Ke was in the back of the line. The Sacred Heart Middle School women’s basketball team had quite a few tall players, with two over one meter eighty. At a glance, the average height was definitely over one meter sixty-eight.
