“Why don’t you enter that Serve-U-Droid of yours in the contest?” John asked. “There might be a boot-licking round.”
“We have to design our own robots from scratch. Surely even
you
know that,” Mordant said nastily, as he swung back his large mane of black hair. “I wouldn’t even bother trying, if I were you. Your primitive human brain doesn’t stand a chance!”
G-Vez agreed. “Quite so, master. Perhaps the Earthling will try to make a robot out of sticks and animal skins!”
Mordant gave a low snigger. G-Vez bobbed up and down.
“Get lost, Talliver,” Emmie said.
“Don’t worry, I’m going. I’ve got to get started on my winning design,” Mordant said, and scurried away. One of his tentacles flicked the back of John’s head in a final insulting salute.
“You know, I don’t much care who wins, so long as it isn’t
him
,” Kaal muttered, as soon as Mordant was out of sight.
But John was lost in his own thoughts. He wasn’t just going to enter the Robot Warriors’ contest. Now he wanted to
win
it. No prize could be better than showing the likes of Mordant Talliver that a “primitive Earthling” really did deserve to be a student at Hyperspace High. In fact, John thought it might prove to the whole school that he was just as entitled to be a student here as everyone else. This was his chance.
