My name was not on the list. Even Murgred was on the roster at number 29. All the memories of the tackles I had suffered had flooded back to me. That really pissed me off. I looked over at the tennis roster. It really was make or break for me. I saw the roster was split into alternates, doubles and singles. The "alternates" were probably the coaches way of saying benchwarmers. The menu told me that high school tennis competitions were team sports in every sense of the word. There were three singles matches and two doubles matches. Each went for a set. Best out of three matches won the whole match. The list had six names for singles. I was not among them. That was concerning. In the doubles category, I saw my name as part of team 3. That meant I was going to be a second stringer. If there was a reason one of the main two teams could not go on, I would go up with my partner. I was not paying attention to the other students trying out aside from the three dragons, so I had no clue who my partner was. His name was Nao. I guess I was just going to have to wait until we met at practice.
It really did not matter to me at all. All that did matter was that I cleared the quest and won the bet. I looked at the Soccer roster. I knew that the dragons were excited for this. Tokac got on the team as a starter. Metrec was a second stringer. Murgred did not make the cut. He did make the cut on the Tennis roster as an alternate. It almost made me laugh. All that talk and he could barely get on a team at all. Curious, I took a look at the roster for the Cross Country team. All four of them made it. I felt happy for them. Especially since Agamos was so concerned the day before. I was about to leave when I felt someone roughly pin me to the wall from behind. "So pipsqueak, I hope you got the message. Did you!?" Tokac said menacingly. I just chuckled. "I won and you two lost. Look over at the tennis team." I said. They all looked at the roster in horror and Tokac let me go in shock. "So, are you two going to keep your words, or are you dragons going to chicken out? You remember the terms we agreed to." I smirked smugly at them. "No fucking way! There has to be some sort of trick!" Murgred said.
Tokac growled and said "Don't get cocky, human! You think you can hang with us dragons, huh!? You and that shitty, pathetic thing dangling between your legs you call a dick mean nothing to us." "You think we care about this shit? We'll get this over with like it never happened." Metrec added. They were certainly talking a big game. It was then that Aenos came over. "I think you can let go of Sunny now. You guys are on different teams now. Besides, if it were me, I wouldn't try pissing off the one that won the bet. My ass would be on the line after all." he said with a long swish of his tail. "Shut the fuck up! We aren't cowards like you, so we'll say whatever the fuck we like!" was the response from Tokac. Cesus shrugged and said "Just let it go. Sunny is eating with us." "Yeah!" Michus added with a stomp of one of his forelegs. I went over to them quickly. We then got our food and began to talk. "So tell us about the time you had to handle a centaur's ass!" Aenos smirked. Michus and Cesus's gazes snapped to me in shock. I raised a finger and tsked at them as I shook it at them. "Not the time or place."
