He still needs to get ready for the All Stars University entrance exam after the exam results are released.
Success is not easy," Jeff whispered to himself as he sipped from the water bottle Liam had offered.
“Don't worry. All Stars University is not the best school in Starry; there are some better schools. Some schools are not even far from there," Liam assured him.
Jeff's potential to attend All Stars University continued to elude Liam. He has witnessed his performance before,

"I believe I started training when 1 was six years old, but I stopped when I was eleven or twelve." Jeff could still clearly remember the day he began training for his sport of choice. It was the day, the old woman told him he didn't belong to the Hemsworth family.

Jeff and Liam were invited to the basketball court on that particular day by Liam's friend who was also the captain.
