Bring Your A Game

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 22

Elise found him to be childishly funny. Why does he even care whether I participate in the Math Olympiad, or if I humiliate myself? It‘s not like he‘s the one to be humiliated!

“Give me my book back!” She was angered.

However, the foolhardy Danny couldn‘t care less about her. He then countered with a provoking face, “Nope. What are you gonna do?”

Somehow, she was amused as the vexation in her diminished. If that‘s how you wanna do it, I‘ll play along with you.

“How are you so sure I‘d be shaming myself? What if I got first place again?” Upon those words, Danny couldn‘t contain himself and instantly chortled aloud.

Despite his stupidity, he was well aware of the standards of the City Mathematics Olympiad Competitions‘ participants.

The participants viewed studying as life, and had never rested from training themselves, which allowed them to achieve such a level. You, Elise Sinclair, on the other hand, are just a country bumpkin who merely got first place in the Math Olympiad out of sheer luck. Know your place, bumpkin!

If she were to go head to head with those life–long learners, she‘d die from embarrassment!

“Don‘t worry about getting first place, Elise. If you could even get a consolation prize, pigs would start to fly.”

After all, the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition isn‘t meant for amateurs. And with Elise‘s level, all she can do is be a filler.

Danny was pretty confident about that.

Elise proposed, “Oh, is that so? Why don‘t we make a bet, then?”

Upon the suggestion, Danny started hesitating. In spite of his words, he felt somewhat timid. If she somehow managed to harvest all the luck in the universe and got herself a participation prize, he would be in grave loss.

Hence, he added, “Let‘s make this clear. Participation prize doesn‘t count. Your choices are the winner, first runner–up, or second runner–up.”
