She cranked up the intensity, unleashing a storm of cyber attacks on Flora's computer, throwing everything she had at Flora's defense systems.
But Flora didn't even flinch, keeping her focus locked on her digital tug-of-war with Ivan. Despite Brianna's relentless efforts, she couldn't breach Flora's defenses! As the other teams wrapped up their matches, they gathered to watch the showdown.
"This is a total beatdown..." "The princess is getting smashed to bits..." "Brutal... I'm so glad I didn't have to go up against Flora." Being so blatantly ignored in the arena would be enough to crush anyone's spirit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing the comments, Brianna's face darkened. She decided to stop attacking Flora's defenses and instead, teamed up with Ivan.
Even with their combined assault, Flora remained unshaken, defending with ease.
"Time's up!" The moment Mr. Jurado announced it, Brianna shot to her feet, glaring at Flora with eyes that could burn holes through steel.
Flora just gave her a calm, faint smile.
Brianna was on the edge of losing it, her teeth grinding.
"Flora, you're something else." Mr. Jurado's eyes gleamed with tears of admiration as he looked at Flora. Her performance had been nothing short of spectacular.
"With you on our team, winning the interschool tournament is practically in the bag!" Others might not have seen it, but Mr. Jurado had noticed that Flora had opted to fortify her defenses right from the start. By the end, her defense systems were so rock-solid that even without her actively at the keyboard, Brianna couldn't crack them.
Hearing Mr. Jurado's praise, Brianna felt a pang of dissatisfaction. She acknowledged that Flora's defensive skills were impressive, but that was about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThroughout the match, Brianna hadn't seen Flora make a single offensive move. In reality, Flora did take a shot at Ivan once, but Brianna had been too focused on breaking Flora's defenses to notice.
In Brianna's eyes, Flora had done nothing but defend the entire match. But in a competition, just defending wasn't enough. Without the ability to attack, one could only serve as support. The main battle power still rested with them.
Just like now, no matter how great Flora's defense was, it had only ended in a stalemate with them. She thought Mr. Jurado was overhyping Flora! "Alright, it's getting late. Let's all head back and rest up for the next training," Mr. Jurado said before heading out.
Once he left, everyone couldn't help but crowd around Flora.
"Flora, I bow down to you! You're amazing!" "Flora, please teachhow you got such incredible defensive skills! And those sneaky moves you pulled off, absolutely genius!"
"Ah! Flora, next twe do practical exercises, can I partner with you?! want to savor the sweet taste of victory under the guidance of a master!" Flora's performance had been too impressive!
Even now, thinking back, they were still buzzing with excitement. They were too thrilled to care about darla keeping a distance from Flora in front of Brianna.
Brianna felt a stab of jealousy but didn't leave. She was actually curious about how Flora had managed such strong defenses! She couldn't help but eavesdrop. Flora's gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on her with a teasing smile, "You want to know too?" Instantly, Brianna reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, practically jumping in place! X
