After Mike dealt with the enthusiastic students, Aaron also came over.
"Mike, your strength has increased again," Aaron exclaimed.
It's important to know that kicking someone five or six meters away is vastly different from simply knocking them flying.
Moreover, if Mike brought this strength to the football field, it would definitely be another great weapon.
It makes sense; Mike didn't have such great strength in the Summer League, yet he was still able to perform so well.
Now with even greater strength, he absolutely has the potential to dominate a game by himself.
Thinking of this possibility, Aaron couldn't help but get excited. He eagerly asked, "Mike, have you thought about coming back to the team? I can give you both the captain and quarterback positions."
Seeing his enthusiastic demeanor, Mike still shook his head and refused, "Sorry, I'm not planning to leave the Math Olympiad team right now."
Hearing the answer, a look of disappointment flashed across Aaron's face. After steadying his emotions, he said, "I respect your choice. However, I still hope you'll come back to visit the team when you have time."
"Yes, I'll go visit the team when I have time," Mike responded with a smile.
After getting Mike's promise, Aaron also smiled. His purpose for coming this time was basically achieved.
In Aaron's opinion, this was a very good start; as long as Mike was willing to go back and visit, there would definitely be a chance to pull him back into the team.
Then, Aaron, satisfied, led the football team members in bidding farewell to Mike. Afterward, the group headed to the locker room.
It's important to know that this time, to support Mike, the football team members came directly to the school gate after training, without even time to wash up.
Here, as the onlookers left, Cady came to Mike's side and said worriedly, "Will what just happened affect you?"
The incident earlier caused a big commotion, and if the school really pursued it, Mike, as one of the parties involved, would inevitably be implicated.
If he was unlucky and received a major demerit from the school, it would affect his university applications.
"Don't worry," Mike said with a smile, "With so many students who can testify for me that Kermit started it, at most I can only be considered self-defense."
In fact, Cady's worries were completely unnecessary, not to mention that Mike was not afraid of not getting into a good university.
Even from the perspective of the school's interests, between a poor student and an excellent good student, Principal Tom would surely make the correct choice.
Before Cady could say anything else, Mike's peripheral vision caught a figure flashing past in the corner.
"Cady, wait for me here for a moment, I still have something to deal with." After speaking, Mike chased after the side of the teaching building.
Yes, the figure Mike had just spotted was indeed Regina, leaving furtively.
Because there were many strange things about this Kermit incident. Mike had reason to believe that the Queen Bee was behind it.
Regina, who was hurrying away, was currently cursing Kermit for being useless in her mind.
His actions this time not only failed to trouble Mike but also boosted his popularity among the students.
This, in Regina's opinion, was an unforgivable matter.
And just as Regina was hurrying with her head down, Mike had already overtaken her and blocked her path.
"Isn't this Regina?" Mike's lips curved slightly as he said, "Where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Actually, Regina didn't know why she wanted to avoid Mike. Anyway, now that she was blocked by him, she felt inexplicably guilty.
"What do you want?" Regina said, putting on a brave front.
It had been some time since school ended, and with the students who had gathered at the school gate leaving, there were now very few other students visible within the school. Especially on the side of the teaching building, a place where few people came.
It must be said that Regina's chosen escape route was very clever.
"What do I want?" Mike raised an eyebrow and said oppressively, "That's what I should be asking you. I warned you a long time ago not to provoke me."
Looking at Mike's ill-intentioned expression, Regina panicked. She quickly explained, "Kermit's matter has nothing to do with me..."
Watching Regina's shifty eyes, Mike took step by step forward, cornering her, and asked again, "Really? I don't believe it."
Actually, it wasn't wrong to say that Kermit's matter was related to Regina, who had once hinted to him to cause trouble for Mike.
"Re-really..." Regina looked at Mike's cold face, appearing even more guilty.
Her reaction clearly did not satisfy Mike. He then continued forward, cornering Regina against the wall.
Perhaps realizing that she had nowhere left to retreat, Regina instead hardened, putting on the air of a Queen Bee, and demanded, "What exactly do you want? Don't tell me you want to break my arm too?"
In Mike's view, her bluffing demeanor clearly indicated a guilty conscience.
However, how to punish her was a dilemma for Mike; using force was definitely not an option.
"What, scared? Then move out of the way—" Regina saw Mike not speaking and had some misconceptions, her attitude gradually becoming arrogant.
While speaking, she even took the initiative to turn the tables, leaning towards Mike, wanting to force him back.
Feeling the softness in front of him, Mike's expression became strange.
"Very good, you've successfully ignited my temper." Mike's eyes became fiery.
Regina also noticed that his state was not right. Although the Queen Bee had not yet experienced an adult ceremony, having an open-minded mother, she knew a lot about this aspect.
Now, she even realized what Mike wanted to do.
"No, not here..." Regina protected herself with her arms, shrinking back into the corner, looking pitiful.
At the same time, a strange sense of pleasure also appeared in the Queen Bee's heart. She secretly glanced at Mike, thinking wildly: He's so handsome, it seems like I wouldn't lose out. Should I pretend to resist a little later? Or just cooperate...
Just as Regina closed her eyes, preparing to endure the 'onslaught', she found that he didn't move for a long time.
So, she opened her eyes again and found that the scene in front of her was very different from what she had imagined.
The fire in Mike's eyes had disappeared, and instead, he was standing not far away, staring at her with a playful expression.
"This is just a warning. If you provoke me again next time, it won't be this simple." Mike finished speaking, without looking at Regina's reaction, and turned to leave.
It was a while before Regina realized what Mike had done to her.
That feeling of being ignored made Regina feel even more furious than if she had been violated.
"That damn bastard—" Regina, feeling her charm humiliated, raged impotently.
On the other side, Mike successfully met up with Cady, who was waiting at the school gate.
"Mike, what were you doing just now?" Cady asked curiously.
"Nothing," Mike shook his head, not explaining much. Then, he pulled the girl and said, "Come on, let's go home too."
"So eager?" Cady had been communicating with Mike for so many days that she gradually began to understand some of his hints.
"I can't help it, with such a beautiful woman by my side, I can't not be eager..." Mike explained, and then, under the girl's teasing gaze, they went home together.
It was imaginable that tonight would be another sleepless night.
