Chapter 133 360-Degree Spin Dunk
And thus, the game began.
Alfonso stared intently at Charles., like a wolf.
'How dare this guy call me a rookie? Arrogant fool! Fine, keep your swagger now, but soon, you won’t be so cocky. Do you even know what failure feels like? You will—when you face the consequences of challenging me!' Alfonso fumed inwardly.
It was the first play of the game. Alfonso was on offense, Charles on defense.
On the basketball court, Charles and Alfonso faced off, their eyes cold and full of tension.
Alfonso began dribbling skillfully, performing all sorts of flashy moves, dazzling the onlookers.
He was very fast, and his dribbling was both skilled and agile. In contrast, Charles watched Alfonso with a calm expression, his defensive stance unconvincing—he looked every bit the basketball rookie.
This match-up seemed to hold no surprises.
As expected, within seconds, Alfonso effortlessly broke through Charles' defense. With the grace and power of a cheetah, he leaped into the air, soaring with an impressive jump.
Alfonso's height and athleticism made dunking almost effortless for him. His hands, clutching the basketball, were already under the hoop, ready to finish the play.
The crowd erupted with excitement.
"Is Alfonso going to dunk? Is he really going to dunk again?"
"This is so exciting, I’ve seen his dunking videos on Facebook—they’re awesome!"
"Haha, Charles thinks he can take on Alfonso? He's clearly overestimating himself!"
All eyes were on the court, everyone watching intently. A hint of a victorious smile began to form on Alfonso's face.
'With this dunk, I'll ignite the whole court with my majestic and decisive move!' Alfonso thought.
Just as the basketball was about to be slammed into the hoop, Charles suddenly leaped up with equally astonishing athleticism, soaring higher than Alfonso and swatting the ball out of his hands!
'A block? Alfonso actually got blocked!' Hundreds of girls, who were ready to cheer and applause, suddenly fell silent!
The basketball team members were dumbfounded and thought, 'Charles blocked Alfonso? This is unbelievable! They aren’t even the same height or skill level. Charles, at 71 inches tall, actually blocked Alfonso, who’s 73 inches tall? This is a blatant humiliation! His jumping ability must be far superior, allowing him to ignore the height difference and make that block!'
The atmosphere was suffocating!
Alfonso's face twisted in anger and disbelief.
Of course, missing one shot didn't mean much. This was just the beginning.
Next, it was Charles' turn to attack, with Alfonso on defense.
"I was just careless earlier, now I'm serious, so you won't be so lucky!" Alfonso said through gritted teeth.
Charles dribbled the basketball with basic, unpolished moves, no flashiness, just determination. He picked up the pace, charging forward.
Alfonso blocked Charles' path tightly with his professional defensive moves.
As Charles dribbled, he nearly lost the ball to Alfonso but managed to recover, relying on his incredibly agile reflexes to finally reach the hoop.
In the next moment, Charles' body suddenly soared into the air.
Alfonso sneered, leaping up alongside Charles, "You think I won't block your shot from this angle?"
'Finally, I’ll get my revenge!' Alfonso thought.
But just as Alfonso prepared to block, he noticed something odd—Charles still hadn’t released the ball. His body kept rising higher and higher, nearly two meters off the ground, seemingly defying gravity as he hung in the air for a full three seconds.
Then, in one swift, breathtaking move, Charles executed a 360-degree spin in mid-air and slammed the ball into the hoop.
The whole court turned dead silent!
Hundreds of spectators stood frozen, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.
'Did he just pull... a 360-degree spin dunk? What the heck? How is this possible?'
'Charles is just over 71 inches tall, right? This jumping ability is too amazing! What in the world did I just see!'
After five seconds of suffocating silence, the whole court exploded and countless screams erupted!
Many girls who were originally cheering for Alfonso, now didn't hesitate to give Charles cheers and applause.
"I just realized that Charles is actually quite handsome, not at all inferior to Alfonso!"
"I see why Jessica likes him. Charles is so strong!"
"Charles is my male idol from now on!"
While the audience was cheering, Emily jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Charles, I love you!"

'Unexpectedly, without spending a penny on Emily, this 360-degree spin dunk directly achieved a Role Reversal! Maybe that move was just too cool, too awesome, too impressive!' Charles thought.
That domineering, airborne figure was deeply imprinted in the minds of many girls, leaving a lasting impact.
They suddenly realized that Charles was also exceptionally good at basketball.
And so, the chain reaction began!
[Jessica: Favorability +1]
"Ding! The 3rd simp target Jessica's favorability towards the host has broken through 96 points, rewarding 10 enhancement points!"

[Current enhancement points: 74.]
Charles was stunned! 'Who would’ve thought that playing basketball could boost the favorability of all simp targets at once? Turns out, women really do love men who shine brightly. But why is everyone’s favorability increasing except for Snow’s? Why hasn’t hers gone up at all? Isn’t that strange?'
Meanwhile, Alfonso’s expression was one of awkward disbelief—he clearly wasn’t ready to admit defeat.
