"Serena Everett, Principal Reed specifically instructed to bring you along. Today’s judge is The Wanderer—a perfect opportunity since you missed eting him yesterday!"
Serena looked at Professor Langley’s firm stance, knowing there was no escape. She gently rubbed her temples with her ivory fingers.
"Let’s go."
The old man had chased her all the way to Imperia; avoiding him wasn’t a solution. She might as well et him today.
When they arrived at the competition venue, the Yale University team was already there, eagerly fawning over The Wanderer.
The Wanderer was highly renowned in Celestia and internationally. The Yale students treated him with utmost respect, excessively flattering him.
"Master Wanderer, we’ve long admired your work. It’s truly an honor to et you today!"
The Wanderer didn’t even glance at them, instead focusing his gaze on Imperia University’s section, locking eyes with Serena.
His look seed to silently say, "Let’s see how you avoid now, young lady!"
The other students from Imperia University, not understanding the situation, instantly got excited.
"Ahhh, The Wanderer is looking at us!!!"
"Oh my gosh, The Wanderer is really looking our way. I wonder if he’s looking at !"
"Get real, he’s definitely not looking at you. The Wanderer must be looking at ... Being taken as a disciple by Master Wanderer would ensure a bright future!"
Jenson, Xavier, and Casper, feeling neglected, couldn’t help but scowl. They turned to approach the students from Imperia University, sneering with disdain.
"We told you, today’s friendly match is going to embarrass Imperia University! Just wait and see!"
Hearing their arrogant tone, the Imperia University students couldn’t help but get angry.
"You Yale University guys better not get cocky. Who wins and who loses is still undecided!"
Casper whispered sothing to Jenson, making Jenson’s face even more arrogant as he looked at the Imperia University students condescendingly.
"Imperia University is bound to lose. If you admit defeat now, you could save so face and avoid humiliating yourselves on stage!"
"You..."
The Imperia University students were infuriated by their words and were about to charge forward when Serena held them back.
"Alright, if a dog bites you, do you bite back?"
Serena’s tone was casual, yet her words made the Yale students seethe with anger.
"Wait for the match and smash their faces then."
Aidan Keaton from Clearwater University was a formidable contender, and although Sumr Miller wasn’t as amazingly talented, she was more than capable of handling the competitors from Yale.
This friendly match was surely Celestia’s to win.
"Yes, yes, Serena’s right. If a dog bites us, we don’t stoop to biting back! We’ll just smash their faces during the match!"
Even though Jenson and the others didn’t speak Chinese well, they understood the mockery in those words, and it angered them to no end. They could only leave with a fierce retort.
"You... humph! Just wait until the match is over, and you’ll be the ones crying!"
The competition soon began, with Yale University’s participants stepping onto the stage first, exuding arrogance.
Aidan Keaton slowly walked up the stage and noticed that Imperia University’s competitor wasn’t Serena, causing his eyes to dim slightly.
He had hoped to stand alongside her once more, but she wasn’t participating in today’s competition.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Serena, lounging lazily in the audience, and only when the host announced the start of the match did he force himself to focus.
The match began, and Aidan and Sumr initially coordinated well, leading Yale University by several points. But gradually, Sumr’s speed in answering slowed, her error rate increased, and she began to disrupt Aidan’s rhythm.
The onlookers couldn’t help but beco worried and began to talk among themselves.
"What’s with our class rep? Why is she getting slower at answering and making mistakes too? She’s ssing up Campus Prince Keaton’s rhythm!"
"Exactly, exactly, Yale is catching up. What’s she doing?"
The Yale students jeered, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this all the students from Imperia University School of dicine can do?"
"This is hilarious. With this level, you still talk about winning?"
"Don’t get ahead of yourselves, we still have Aidan Keaton from Clearwater. No way will Yale University win!"
The bickering continued on both sides, while Serena fixed her gaze on Sumr on stage, narrowing her stunningly beautiful fox-like eyes.
Sothing was off with her...
Sumr’s face was growing paler, her figure swaying more and more unsteadily, until she finally collapsed as she pressed the buzzer again.
"She’s collapsed... Oh my god, how did this happen..."
The sudden incident caused panic among everyone present.
Without caring about anything else, Serena rushed onto the stage to check Sumr’s pulse and quickly took out Silver Needles to administer acupuncture.
She was poisoned, and if the toxins weren’t swiftly expelled, the consequences would be dire!
She actually knew Chinese dicine!
Watching Serena’s actions, Aidan Keaton was taken aback. How many more "surprises" did she have that they were unaware of?!
On stage, Xavier and Casper, upon seeing this, imdiately sneered disdainfully.
"In this day and age, you’re still using outdated Chinese dicine? Chinese dicine is useless; step aside and let us help her!"
"Exactly, why use Chinese dicine? By the ti you’re done with that, you’ll have missed the optimal treatnt window!"
Hearing their contemptuous remarks about Chinese dicine, Serena’s delicate porcelain-like face instantly turned icy. The silver needle pinched between her fingers flew out in a flash.
"Ah..."
The glimring silver needle darted toward their eyes, piercing straight into the wall behind them. It was so close that the needle almost impaled their eyes, causing Xavier and Casper to scream in shock.
"Serena, what are you doing?!"
Ignoring their angry questioning, Serena coldly replied, "If you dare belittle Chinese dicine again, the needle won’t land on the wall next ti."
"You..."
Xavier and Casper were so infuriated they trembled with rage, roaring furiously.
"What are you so smug about? We’re not wrong; Chinese dicine is useless and just trash!"
