The student council president who took the lead was a capable person. He first arranged for the student council members behind him to help the football team clean the playground, and then came to Mike alone.

"Mike, the principal asked you to go to his office. He said he has something to discuss with you." The student council president conveyed the message to the principal.

"Roger~" Mike nodded.

At the same time, he already had a guess in his mind that Principal Tom's visit to him might be related to today's bad invitational tournament.

"Peggy, stay here for a while. When I'm done, I'll come back to you..."

Mike warned the little girl, said hello to little George, and then walked towards the teaching building.

Because it was the weekend, the teaching building seemed empty. It didn't take Mike long to reach the principal's office upstairs smoothly.

"Principal, what do you want from me?" Although he had already guessed, Mike asked one more question.

"You may have watched today's game. Aaron's performance was not very satisfactory..." Principal Tom continued straight to the point: "So, I hope you can return to the team."

Like the students who came to school today to cheer for the team, Principal Tom was also disappointed with the results of the football team's previous games.

As a principal who is about to retire, he cares more about the school's reputation than anyone else.

This kind of mentality is probably driven by the sense of responsibility of wanting to stand on the last duty.

"As long as you are willing to return to the team, the school will give you another sports scholarship at its discretion." Principal Tom behind the desk said his bargaining chip without giving Mike much time to react.

Mike, who has a place as a top student in the school, originally had a study scholarship this year.

Now, according to the principal, as long as he is willing to return to the team, he will be able to get another sports scholarship without any difficulty.

Added together, there are two rewards.

Obviously, the school did not intend to use the fruits of Mike's labor this time. Once an agreement is reached, it is a win-win situation.

On Mike's side, there is no shortage of pocket money now because of the stock market, but who would think that he has too much money?

What's more, he originally planned to return to the game to play, so he agreed: "No problem, I am willing to contribute to the school. However, I also have a small request."

After receiving Mike's reply, Principal Tom said with a smile: "As long as you are willing to return to the team, I will tell Coach Wayne to let you return to the team as soon as possible. Now, tell me your request."

"I want George to continue to be the head coach of the football team." Mike stated his true intention.

He often went to Cooper's house for dinner, and he could fully feel George's love for football.

When conditions permit, he doesn't mind giving the other person a hand. This can also be regarded as feedback to the Cooper family for taking care of themselves during this time.

"George?" Principal Tom fell into thought.

Last year, the school expelled George, who had led the team to achieve good results, due to sponsor matters. It was a bit sorry for him.

Moreover, Principal Tom also promised last year that he would recruit the other party back when the limelight passes.

Maybe it was because of his old age, or because the situation of the football team was so good before, that Principal Tom forgot his previous commitment.

The town of Telford is not that big. As a small place, human exchanges are very important here.

Now that Mike mentioned George, Principal Tom didn't think about it for long, and said simply: "Your request is very reasonable. The school can re-hire George as coach. However, I still need to consider the position of head coach."

George has been away from school for half a year. No one knows whether his teaching level has declined in such a long time.

So to be on the safe side, Principal Tom also planned to inspect the other party first.

The best case scenario is that coach George's level has not declined, so he only needs to adapt as an assistant for a period of time before he can be promoted to the team's head coach.

There is a buffer zone for this kind of thing, which is generally good for George and the school.

But Mike knew that George had never given up paying attention to football in the past six months. He often analyzes rugby game tactics in front of TV, so his level is unlikely to drop too much.

And to put it bluntly, even if Coach George's coaching level has declined, he is definitely more suitable for the team than today's Coach Wien.

The professional accomplishments of the two are not on the same level.

"I can guarantee that George is definitely more suitable to be the head coach of Melford now." After considering various situations, Mike became George's guarantor.

Seeing Mike's vow, Principal Tom fell into deep thought again.

The teachers in the school all know a little bit about Coach Wayne's family affairs.

Again, small places pay more attention to human nature and sophistication.

It is precisely for this reason that Coach Wien has received a lot of tolerance. It's just that his recent behavior has been too outrageous, and the school's tolerance for him seems to be coming to an end.

"How do you prove that what you said is true?" Principal Tom asked.

Based on Coach Wayne's situation, Principal Tom also felt that George was more fragrant. But now, he still wants a more precise reason to convince himself, and of course, to convince others in the school.

"How about the next invitational tournament?" Mike said calmly: "In the invitational tournament next weekend, I will ask Coach George to watch the game live. I believe he will use practical actions to prove that he has the ability to take over as the team's head coach. "

Principal Tom's current attitude obviously recognizes George's status as coach.

However, if he wants to regain his position as head coach in one fell swoop, George needs a chance to prove himself.

"Very well, I'll leave this matter to you. I'm waiting for you to surprise me..." Principal Tom said with a smile.

"No problem." Mike accepted the task without any pressure.

In fact, this matter is not difficult to handle.

The Melford football team contains too much of George's hard work. As long as he sees the team's current dire situation, he will definitely not be able to help but help.

Therefore, Mike only needs to drag the other party to school next weekend, and he can easily complete the task.

Afterwards, after finalizing the details of the plan, Mike left the principal's office.

When he returned to the playground, it had been cleaned.

The football players and the student union members who came to help had also left, leaving only Captain Aaron, Little George and Peggy on the scene.

"Mike, what does the principal want from you?" Captain Aaron obviously knew the reason why Mike left, and he still stayed here out of concern for his friends.

"The principal invited me to return to the team, and I have already agreed. So, we don't have to go to Coach Wayne next Monday." Mike replied with a smile.

"Great~" Aaron clenched his fist tightly, and a smile immediately broke out on his face.

Aaron, who is about to graduate in half a semester, now hopes to see the team get better. In this way, he can safely bring his high school football career to a successful conclusion.

Mike's joining made all this possible.

"Is that all? No other good news?" Captain Aaron, who had put down his burden, also noticed the mysterious expression on Mike's face.

This kind of look usually means there are other things hidden in the heart.

"There is indeed good news. You will know it at the next invitational tournament..." Mike deliberately let it slip.

It turns out that everyone hates the Riddler, but everyone loves being the Riddler.

It's really interesting to see other people scratching their heads.

"Okay, I'll just treat this as a surprise you prepared for me."

Seeing how much fun Mike was enjoying being the Riddler, Aaron didn't worry too much. Then, he asked what he cared about most: "So, will you participate in the invitational tournament next week?"

"No~" Mike shook his head before continuing: "I will not officially join the team as a player until the next invitational tournament is over."

This was something he had discussed specifically with the principal before.

Among them, there is also a little thought from Mike.

After all, with his current strength, he will definitely lead the Melford team to victory as long as he takes to the field.

However, in this case, it will naturally not show Coach George's ability.

Principal Tom probably took this situation into consideration before agreeing to Mike's proposal in the previous negotiation.

"It seems that in order to welcome your return, we will work hard next week~" Captain Aaron, who has an easy-going personality, didn't think much about it.

Later, as noon approached, several people on the playground also walked home separately.
