NovelEnglishWhen Flora's eyebrows drooped, it gave her a naturally cold and authoritative aura that could make anyone uneasy. The girl's bravado crumbled instantly. "Yeah, I hit her, but she hittoo! If you've got the guts, go tell the organizers!" Fighting during the competition meant instant disqualification for both sides once discovered.
She was convinced Flora wouldn't dare to snitch.
"Trying to act tough, huh?" Flora let out a low, menacing chuckle.
The girl shivered, especially when she noticed a security guard passing by. She quickly stepped away from Flora. "Don't get cocky just because you won the second round. We'll see who's laughing after the third!" With that, the girl hurried off.
The rest of the Imperial Tech team followed her lead.
Flora turned to Brianna.
The young girl's eyes were red, her cheeks marked by two distinct slap prints, and her once-neat ponytail now a messy tangle hanging at the back of her head-a truly pitiful sight.

Flora dug into her pocket and handed Brianna a face mask.
"Those Imperial Tech jerks are shameless!" Brianna growled, donning the mask, "It was justand Ivan today, but next time, I'll make them regret it!" "What, planning a brawl?" Flora gave her a side-eye, "You know the best way to deal with these so-called geniuses?" Brianna wanted to ask but couldn't bring herself to.
"The competition's about to start. Let's head back." Flora started walking, with Brianna quickly following her.
Ivan brought up the rear.
The University of Maple Grove team noticed Brianna's sudden mask and were curious.
But sensing her foul mood, no one dared to ask.
Across from them, the Imperial Tech team had also returned. Their coach, noticing their odd behavior, asked what had happened. None of the Imperial Tech members dared to speak up.
The third round of the competition began.
The host took the stage.
The first match was Imperial Tech versus East Tech University.
East Tech's computing skills were pretty average compared to Imperial Tech, who easily outclassed them.
Imperial Tech flaunted their skills, dazzling the audience with impressive maneuvers.
"No surprise there, Imperial Tech is amazing!" "This year's champions are definitely going to be them!" "Don't be so sure. University of Maple Grove has Flora, the dark horse of this competition. I think they might just take the top spot." Imperial Tech secured their victory in three minutes, to thunderous applause.
The Imperial Tech team stood up and calmly exited the stage. The girl who had fought with Brianna sent Flora a smug, provocative smile.
The second match was University of Maple Grove versus Foreign Languages University.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe audience was buzzing, all eyes glued to the stage, or more accurately, to Flora.
They were eager to see what kind of surprise she would bring.
However, Flora's performance throughout the match was prettyn ordinary leaving the audience somewhat disappointed. Imperial Tech's side sneered in disdain.
Is that all she's got?
The subsequent matches didn't hold much interest until the host's voice rang out, "Next up, Imperial Tech University versus University of Maple Grove!" The Imperial Tech team stood up, walking onto the stage with an air of disdainful confidence.
The University of Maple Grove team approached from the other side.
Brianna was about to take the second seat, but Flora beat her to it, sitting directly across from the girl who had fought with Brianna earlier.
