Time rewound to five minutes prior.
The crowd sitting in the front row of the leader's area in the spectator seats was chatting with smiles on their faces.
"Principal Wang, I wonder if there will be an opportunity to have a friendly match with your school after the provincial competition?" the principal of Jiangyang First Middle School, Fu Huaiyang, asked with a smile.
A friendly match refers to a competition held to enhance friendship, exchange experiences, and improve combat standards.
Schools are in competition with each other, especially those with similar rankings, and fight for quality student recruits every year.
Although Jiangyang First Middle School is a key high school in the city, it's still a notch below Shengshui Middle School and is in a different city, so there's no direct competition.
