Chapter 59 Serena’s Physics Lesson
“Didn’t your teacher ever explain Newton’s laws to you?” Serena asked coolly. “I was in free fall. He was under my foot. That means he hit my foot, not the other way around. Got it?”
The referee had no words.
“If you’re uneducated, you should read more books-otherwise all you’ll ever be good for is cheap tricks.”
Inwardly, the referee cursed. You little-
From the sidelines, the Building B crowd-who’d been holding it in for ages-finally felt a wave of satisfaction. “Sir, if you don’t get it, we can explain. Our physics isn’t great, but it’s good enough to teach you!”
The referee cursed silently again. Screw you…
Patrick ran over to check the injured player’s ankle. “Can you still play?”
“I… I think it’s broken…” He wasn’t entirely sure-his ankle wouldn’t move, and his whole leg was numb.
Patrick sucked in a sharp breath. “Get him off the court. Sub in!”
Play resumed, Serena dribbling.
Patrick gave orders. “Don’t hold back just because she’s a girl!”
If it’s time to go hard, go hard,
Two players closed in to trap her, but Serena’s movements were unnervingly agile,
One second, they collided into each other. The next, the ball slipped between one man’s legs. He instinctively reached back to grab it-but the ball ricocheted into his teammate’s groin.
“Ahhh-!”
The scream shook the entire gym, startling the crows off the fence outside,
Serena pivoted, the ball already back in her hands. She leapt and passed to Thanos.
In a blur, she’d dribbled between an opponent’s legs, baited him into recovering the ball, and watched him smash it into his teammate’s crown jewels. Before either could react, the ball

By the time the whistle blew, Thanos had drained a three-pointer.
“Yeah!”
Patrick stormed over. “What happened this time?”
Now, the three remaining state players came for Serena without even pretending to play clean,
“Indigo, what do we do?” Solstice was rattled-he’d never seen grown men gang up on a girl so shamelessly.
Indigo, who had seen Serena fight before, said, “Stay back unless you want to get hit by accident. Just watch for an opening to steal.”
He moved in himself, hoping to take some pressure off her.
Serena weaved between the three like water, catching, passing, dribbling.
In one move, the ball shot upward and cracked a man under the chin. Another caught it, only for a small, deceptively soft hand to slap it free again-straight into the hands of an opposing player.
Indigo snatched it immediately and sent it to Solstice. Solstice shot-score!
“Yes!” Solstice went in for a celebratory hug.
But then he felt a chill wash over him. His stomach sank. “Indigo… should I not have taken that shot?”
Indigo felt it too-Serena’s icy pressure. He’d been on the court for over a decade, yet here he was, relying on a girl to hold the enemy at bay while he took the easy points. It didn’t sit right.
He was just considering setting up Thanos for more shots when Serena suddenly changed direction-charging at him. In the next instant, the three raging state players swarmed him instead.
Indigo was stunned speechless.
Then Serena stole the ball, passed it off-brushing Patrick’s jaw on the way-and into Thanos’s hands. He shot… and missed.
Thanos didn’t even know what to say,
