NovelEnglishContestants from all over the world had ctogether for the competition, with more than a hundred teams in total. Mr. Tanner handed over the badge to the staff member, who then led them to their designated spot.
"Is that the Austenberg team?" Yesterday at the airport, Mr. Tanner and his team had caused quite a stir, and now they were on everyone's radar.
"Isn't that Flora at the back? The one who beat the medical organization not too long ago!" "Her talent is something else. She must be Austenberg's star player." "That would've been true before, but things are different now. Haven't you heard? Flora didn't attend any of the pre-competition training." ""No way, really? Where'd you hear that?" "Apparently, there was a mix-up with the roster, so Flora had to cat the last minute. We all know the Medical League questions are set by Lone Island, and they're notoriously tough and varied. Without training, there's no way Flora can score high. It'd be a win if she doesn't bomb it." Suddenly, the way everyone looked at the Austenberg team shifted.
They couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Austenberg. What should've been their ace had turned into a potential liability.
Their voices weren't loud, but as more people joined in, the chatter grew.
On the Austenberg side, everyone's expressions were grim.
Debra shot Flora a furious look, blaming her for their situation.
If it weren't for her, they wouldn't be the laughingstock of other countries! "Flora, don't pay attention to what others are saying. Just do your best and perform normally, okay?" Mr. Tanner said quietly, worried that Flora might be affected by the comments.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFlora nodded lazily, her expression indifferent.
Selene glanced at her and chuckled.
Listening to how everyone talked about Flora was pretty amusing.
They really had no clue how formidable Flora was.
The medical team wasn't far from the University of Maple Grove's team, and Mr. Atticus was glaring daggers at Flora and Selene.
He would never forget the humiliation Flora had caused him.
And Selene.
The traitor! The mere thought made Mr. Atticus's blood boil.
"Mr. Atticus, please don't get upset," Orla whispered. "Have stea." Mr. Atticus didn't take the cup, instead fixing Orla with a stern look. "Orla, you must excel. This tyou've got to beat Flora, got it?" swne In the past, Orla wouldn't have stood a chance against Flora. But now...
It was possible.
Flora hadn't attended any training and was completely in the dark about the exam content. Orla had a shot.
Orla nodded firmly.
She would win.
She had to win.
She would repay all the humiliation she had suffered.
The first round was a written test.
At 9:30 am, the competition venue opened, and all the contestants filed in.
Mr. Tanner, as the team leader, had to wait outside.

He wasn't too worried about the others; he knew their capabilities well enough They wouldn't perform much differently than expected, for better or worse. But Flora...
Her talent and abilities were genuinely incredible, but she wasn completely unfamiliar With the exam content and hadn't done any training. He wondered how she iel would do.
He just hoped it wouldn't be too bad.
Otherwise, it would be a real embarrassment for Austenberg.
Flora was in exam hall number one, and Selene in number three. They entered their respective halls separately.
By chance, Joy was in the shall in the last as Flora, sitting in the last row by the window with Flora in the first row to her left. From her vantage point, she had a clear view of Flora.
At 10:00 am, the exam began right on time.
As the papers were handed out, everyone started writing furiously.
Joy glanced at her paper and felt a surge of excitement.
