Thankfully, the student didn't end up doing anything with it. They just left it. John got it and prepared himself to use it on his prospective football team.
There were 10 seniors, 9 juniors, 7 sophomores, and 8 freshmen. They ranged in height from 5'2" to 5'8" and in weight from 120 to 150 pounds. None of them looked athletic or knew anything about the game.
John said, "For both JV and Varsity, I need a starter and a backup for these basic positions. Quarterback, runningback, wide receiver, linebacker, offensive and defensive guards, tight end. I also need a kicker for each. Any volunteers?"
No hands were raised. John sighed.
"Ok then. JV, leave for a few minutes. Just stand out there."
The freshmen and sophomores got up and left.
John picked 1 senior and 1 junior for each of the positions he needed. After getting a senior kicker, he had two left of each class, so he declared them additional linemen.
One of the soon to be quarterbacks asked, "Sir? The season starts really soon. How can we possibly be ready?"
"A curious mind. Part of the reason you're going to be one of the captains," John said with a smile.
"This is how." He held up the Chronivac.
