Eli didn't run. He walked to center court, raised the PDF like a staff, and activated Rule Number One: A player cannot run with the ball.
Eli sighed and double-clicked the file.
Eli smiled, the PDF dissolving into golden dust in his hands. “I didn’t do anything, kid. I just showed them the rules. A game without rules isn’t a game. It’s just a fight.”
