Chapter 95

Lisa had a long talk with her parents that day.

Principal Manoban felt like his baby girl had grown up overnight. She was no longer that wide-eyed and naive little girl.

Though heartened, he was a little mournful as well.

As for the two watches, Mama Manoban refused them decisively.

Unable to refund the watches, Lisa did not want to waste them. She brought it back for Jungkook and herself.

After returning to school, Jungkook's first competition was an away match overseas. This match was broadcasted on the sports channel and both Lisa's parents watched entire competition at home. Jungkook did not have any highlights during the competition and Bright Dauntless ultimately lost with a 2-5 score.

"Look, how you've traumatized that child", Mama Manoban pointed at the television screen and said.

Principal Manoban tried to make an excuse for himself. "If he is really so susceptible to shocks, how could he be an athlete? It's a competition after all. A person's condition will fluctuate and there would be wins and losses. It's normal".

What he said was not wrong.

However, Jungkook performance was poor for the subsequent four to five competitions as well. In the words of the commentator, "If September's Jungkook could be given 120 marks, then October's Jungkook is only worth 70 marks".

His comment could be considered relatively kind.

A famous sports commentator wrote on his social media account: "I'm still willing to give Jeon Jungkook 120 marks. 119 marks for his looks and 1 marks for his pink hockey stick".

His words were as terrible as they come.

....

Principal Manoban ultimately felt a little guilty over Jungkook's poor condition.

Once, he herd a few colleagues discussing the latest ice hockey competition before a meeting. Most people originally did not have any idea what ice hockey was. They stared watching this sport because of Jungkook's sudden popularity. Everyone first focused on him before noticing ice hockey. After discovering the excitement of this sport, they continued following the competition.

These people might not necessarily understand the competition details but they were able to understand the competition figures.

And the figured showed that Jungkook was playing poorly, at a level that was not worth his fame.

Sitting together, everyone was merry as they ridiculed Jungkook. They completely did not notice the somewhat displeased expression on their most esteemed principal's face.

After a while, Principal Manoban could no longer bear it. He interrupted. "Have you all forgotten that Jungkook is a new player and this is only the second month of his professional career? What's more, he is only nineteen this year. Is there really a need to be so harsh on a child?"

Since their esteemed principal has spoken, everyone shut up immediately. They thought to themselves, turns out that our principal is Jungkook's fan?

Head teacher Wang was good at getting into people's good book. At once, she asserted, "Right, Jungkook was from out school and I watched him grew. He is smart and reliable....Principal Manoban, shall we invite Jungkook back to give a speech?"

Principal Manoban snorted. "Why should we invite me?!"

Head teacher Wang froze. She thought, so do you like or hate Jungkook?
