It's almost laughable, isn't it? Not only are we talking about different departments, but the person in question is also just a freshman... Does Maple Grove University really think that sending a freshman from the medical department will secure them a win in the intercollegiate competition? That's a bit overconfident, if you ask me. This feels like a blatant insult... If I were from another college, I'd be fuming.
Maple Grove University is the top institution; they wouldn't enter a battle they weren't sure they could win. If they're daring to do this, it means Flora must really have sskills. And what's wrong with being from the medical department? Maybe she's a computer genius too! Exactly, our Flora is incredibly smart, and her talents are boundless; there's nothing she can't do! Online, opinions were all over the place. Speople criticized Flora, sstood up for her, and others were just plain curious.
Flora scrolled through the comments with a blank expression, as if the discussions weren't about her at all. Suddenly, her notifications blew up with tags from Group 257.
When she checked, Flora saw that the fuss was caused by Crimson sharing the participants list for the intercollegiate competition, with her name, "Flora," highlighted in bright red. Everyone in Club 257 went wild.
Lando: Master, you're getting more and more ruthless...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLouie: This is like a high-level boss slaughtering newbies...
Crimson: I feel sorry for your competitors on the day of the competition.
Jules: Flora, are you broke? Did something happen to you? A long string of comments followed, all asking if Flora was provoked in sway.
They just couldn't wrap their heads around why Night Veil, a top-tier hacker, would bother with a competition they saw as child's play.
Flora: ...
She watched the screen scroll rapidly, feeling helpless. She didn't want to participate; she had no other choice.
Y: Jules is the head judge for this competition, right? I feel bad; the organizers had invitedto be a head judge too, but I declined! I'll ask if they still need someone! Who would've thought Flora would join such a trivial competition! The group chat was chaotic, so Flora muted it and headed to the Computer Science Department.
Ivan was there, as usual, to meet her.
As soon as she walked into the classroom, Maddox and the others swarmed her, their enthusiasm blazing. Brianna, who was working on a problem, looked up, feeling a bit sour.
But she didn't say anything and just went back to her work.
Flora was used to Brianna's explosive temper whenever she saw her, so her quietness today was a surprise.

"The list of participants has been announced, and Jules is the head judge," Ivan said, worried Flora might not know who Jules was. He added, "Jules, as in the president of the National Computer Society and the champion of the World Programming Competition! He's really something!" Flora: "Oh." Seeing Flora's calm reaction, Ivan thought she really didn't know Jules.
He continued, "He's YoYo's idol.
When YoYo found out he was going thev to be a judge, she decided to train hard and shine in the intercollegiate competition!" Brianna, this delicate princess, likes Jules? Flora raised an eyebrow and looked at Brianna.
"What are you looking at!" Brianna snapped, glaring at her.
Flora leisurely watched her, tapping her fingers rhythmically on the table: "I know Jules. If you want an autograph, I can get it for you." X
