Maddox had hit the buzzer too late five times and once too early, losing a chance to answer. Ivan and Brianna messed up a question, costing them a point. Meanwhile, the Imperial Aerospace team was on fire, now leading the University of Maple Grove by six points.
Out of the hundred questions, only twenty remained, and Maple Grove needed to nail at least 80% of them to win.
Answering correctly wasn't the issue for Brianna and Ivan; it was about beating the Imperial Aerospace team to the buzzer. Their rivals were lightning-fast.
The crowd shook their heads, sensing the impending defeat for Maple Grove.

"Excuse me." A voice beside him made Maddox turn his head just as the quizmaster finished reading the next question. "...Start answering now!" Distracted, Maddox hesitated. Just as he was about to lose hope, Flora, standing next to him, swiftly hit the buzzer.
"Congratulations to the University of Maple Grove!" "Option C," Brianna answered quickly.
"Correct! Next question, please—" "Flora, you..." Maddox stared at Flora, stunned. Her speed was unreal, almost a blur. He hadn't even seen her move.
"Step aside," Flora said coolly.
Maddox instinctively moved, operating on autopilot.
Flora gripped the buzzer with one hand and propped her chin with the other, her eyelids drooping casually. Yet, every tthe quizmaster finished a question, she was the first to buzz in.
"Let's congratulate the University of Maple Grove once again!" "It's the University of Maple Grove again!" "University of Maple Grove, please continue!" Maple Grove's buzzer kept lighting up, dominating the competition.
Ivan, Brianna, and the team answered with exhilarating precision! Members from Imperial Aerospace University, the Foreign Language University, and the University of Electronic Science and Technology watched Flora in disbelief. She held the buzzer effortlessly, leaving them in despair. They couldn't beat her! It was impossible to beat her! Was she even human? How could someone be that fast on the buzzer? Both the audience and the competitors were blown away by Flora's incredible performance.

"God, I was wondering why Flora hadn't been answering or buzzing in. Now I see, Flora was the hidden ace all along! If Flora had been buzzing in from the start, I bet the other teams wouldn't have stood a chance." "Maple Grove truly is the top institution, so generous to have given away so many points!" Now, everyone had reason to believe that Maple Grove had Flora answer because of her quick reflexes.
From the judges' panel, Aisha watched Flora, shining brightly on stage, a chill passing through her gaze.
"Ha-ha-ha, the contestant from the University of Maple Grove is really impressive, but let's give others a sive, chance too, the quizmaster chuckled nervously, witnessing such a scenafor the first time. "Now for the final question, in SQL... among the following four answers, which one is the closest? Please answer!"
Members from Imperial Aerospace University, the Foreign Languagen University, and the University of Electronic Science and Technology were numb. After the quizmaster finished, they didn't even try to buzz in. What was the point? Flora had already crushed their spirits.
