Chapter 38
“Hey, Ando! What the hell are you doing?”
“Where the heck are you even passing the ball?”
“We lost all because of you. Take responsibility.”
My teammates starts cornering me.
Their words made it seem like everything about the result was my fault.
“Hold on, wait a minute. The one at fault is the person who used the skill, right? Why am I the only one being blamed and cornered for it?”
I thought I was protesting rightfully, but they wouldn’t even give me an ear.
Instead of condemning the opposing team, they keep blaming me relentlessly.
“You guys…”
I was completely disgusted by their blatant behavior.
In the end, these guys haven’t changed at all.
It has been six months since the dungeons appeared on the surface.
They had just lost interest in me and stopped actively bullying.
I thought they had reflected on themselves and changed, but it was completely different.
They just got busy in their pursuit of gaining skills, their essence hasn’t changed at all.
They gang up on those they consider beneath them, like me, whenever they get the chance.
They’re the lowest scumbags.
“Hey, you beggar. Don’t get cocky just because you’re not being bullied lately, okay?”
“No matter how far you go, you’ll always remain being the bottom-tier loser who used to be bullied. Know your place.”
“And becoming an intermediate explorer, you must have cheat your way or something? There’s no way someone like you would pass the explorer exam!!”
They shower me with insults one after another.
“Shut it. Quiet up.”
“……!?”
I shout at them, tired of their noise, and glance at the timer.
There are three seconds left in the game.
We’re trailing by two points.
In other words, if I make a three-point shot, we’ll win.
“With three seconds… I can make it in time.”
“Haah?”
“What are you talking about?”
Ignoring my puzzled teammates, I snatch the ball from them.
“Pass me the ball.”
“Haah?”
“I’ll make the shot. Winning is all that matters for you’all, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Look at the timer.”
“We got only three seconds left.”
“What can you do?”
“We have already lost ….all because of you.”
“Shut it. Just pass me the ball.”
“……!”
“This guy…!”
“Alright. Fine. I’ll pass it onto you. I don’t know what you’re planning, but you will take all responsibility if we lose.”
One of them goes to for the start and passes me the ball.
The timer starts.
Three seconds remaining.
The opposing team was falling back, defending.
That means I can take the shot from this spot without anyone bothering me.
“Hey, hey! You’re not seriously thinking about shooting from there, are you?”
“Are you a dunce?”
“There’s no way that’s gonna go in!!”
While my teammates ridicule me, I shoot the ball throwing it from beyond half-court.
“Eh…”
“Haah…”
The shot arcs through the air, heading towards the rim.
“Maybe …a bit to the right?”
While the ball is in the air, I use wind magic to adjust its trajectory.
Beeeeeeep!!!!
The game-ending buzzer sounds.
At the same time, the sound of the ball passed onto me, going in, sounded aloud.
The Buzzer sounds.
A three-pointer goes in to our side, and my team wins.
“……”
Silence reigns in the surroundings.
Both my teammates and the opposing team had their mouths wide open, gaping.
“Are you satisfied now? Got anything else to say?”
I throw these words at my teammates who were mocking me earlier.
“……”
My teammates, shocked by all the dramatic turn of events, were left speechless and couldn’t say a word.
