    “She’s stunning.” Athena gazed at thedy causing a stir, genuinely impressed.


    She boasted an enviable figure, a graceful neck, and shoulders that entuated her beauty. With a


    radiantplexion and cascading curls, her presence exuded both nobility and elegance. Her


    poise, gestures, and smile were just perfect.


    She wore rare transparent sses with a silver chain dangling by her car, enhancing the mysterious


    allure of her eyes.


    She wore a high-cored floral chiffon shirt paired with deep, knee-length shorts, which made her


    look simple, elegant, and full of vitality.


    Even with Athen’s keen eye as a top doctor and designer, she couldn’t find a w in thedy’s


    looks, grace, or style.


    It was safe to say he was the most beautifuldy Athena had ever seen.


    Like everyone else, Athena found herself stealing nces at her


    However, not everyone was focused solely on thedy.


    Many were also watching Athena.


    In fact, everyone was ncing back and forth between the two, overwhelmed by the choice.


    Ian was one of them.


    His eyes darted between Athena and thedy, muttering in distress, “One is like a fairy, and the


    other is like a goddess. They’re both breathtaking. Which one to choose?”


    The other guys sighed in unison, puzzled by his dilemma.


    Someone thought, ‘Why did he think either would give him a choice?’


    Joy also noticed themotion over by Athena. Following the gazes of the crowd, she quickly


    spotted Athena, and after a brief pause, she stopped in her tracks, momentarily taken aback.


    Their eyes locked.


    A strange sensation welled up inside Athena, as if an invisible force was linking her to the other girl


    in a way she couldn’t quite understand.


    It was like the Milky Way and Andromeda. Despite the vast distance, they were destined to meet


    due to a cosmic pull.


    She couldn’t say what would result from this encounter.


    They were staring at each other while everyone else watched them.


    For girls like them, encountering one another was rare enough, Seeing two was practically a


    miracle.


    The street fell quiet for a moment.


    But soon, Athena broke the gaze, smiling, “Is my paperwork ready?”


    “What?” The senior students snapped back to reality and hurriedly handed her the materials. “Here


    you go! This is the registration guide, which details how to get to the dorm, how to collect your


    campus card, when the orientation meeting is, and it even includes a map.


    “Oh, it’s gettingte. We should send someone to take


    you there

    “No, no, that’s not necessary Athena waved her hand. “I’m fairly familiar with Kitmore University,


    and I’m strong enough to go alone.”


    She had visited Kitmore University often and was indeed quite familiar with it.


    However, her previous trips had mostly been to theboratories, research rooms, the principal’s


    office, and the library. She had never actually been to the student dorms.


    With that, Athena stuffed the documents into her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and wheeled her


    suitcase towards the dormitory.


    “Hey, Athena, wait up! I’ll walk you.”


    “I’m going too. I need to pick up my textbooks and bedding. Let me help you!”


    A few guys quick


    ed her, ncing back at the beautifuldy. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    She seemed indifferent to Athena, taking a few steps before stopping at the History Department’s


    registration desk. “Hello, I’m Joy Lambert, a new student here to register.”


    Everyone was taken aback and thought, ‘Ady this gorgeous applying for History?’


    Usually, such stylish beauties pursued majors like Foreign Languages, Literature, Media, or Arts.


    Athena was an exception, pursuing aerospace engineering, a field where graduates typically


    focused on research and rarely made public appearances.


    The senior students from the history department looked pleased. “Wee. Have a seat and grab


    a drink.”


    “Thank you.” Joy sat down, epting a cup while filling out her registration form.


    One senior, reviewing her documents, raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t take the SAT?”


    Joy smiled, “I grew up studying abroad and didn’t take the domestic SAT, but I passed Kitmore’s


    entrance exam for international students.”


    The senior was puzzled. “So you’re technically an international student? How did you end up here?”


    Joy replied, “I used to be ssified as one, but when I turned eighteen, I chose Osceiton citizenship


    and got my IDst week. I’m no longer considered an international student.


    “I don’t want to be treated like one. I just want to live like any other domestic student, staying in the


    same dorm and eating in the same cafeteria.”


    Her words significantly boosted her favorability among the crowd.


    Given her style, taste, and elegance, she clearly came from a well-off family.


    Choosing Osceiton citizenship while growing up abroad, yet rejecting special treatment was


    commendable.


    Her seniors quickly finished her registration and led her to the dorm.


    -As she walked, many students followed, wanting to steal nces at Joy, creating quite a scene.


    Amidst the crowd, Joy resembled a supermodel on a runway, standing out and shining brightly. Gia


    and her friends watched from the side, feeling more than just jealousy.


    Zoe sighed, “With Athena already overshadowing us, now we have Joy. Who will even notice us?”

    That was her honest thought


    She felt miserable but had grown ustomed to being second best, developing a high tolerance for


    it.


    Her words were intended to provoke Gia.

    Jodie felt a twinge of jealousy, but she wasn’t interested inpeting with other women; all she


    wanted was to find her perfect wealthy boyfriend.

    Hearing this, she pouted a bit and yfully said, “Sure, she’s pretty, but her chest can’tpete


    with mine. Guys definitely prefer someone like me.”


    That wasn’t entirely an exaggeration.


    Men who liked or tended to be loyal, often indifferent to other beautiful styles.


    Some of her ac…ers specifically disliked Athena’s type.


    Gia shot them a cold nce. “She hasn’t offended us yet. Let’s focus on Athena for now.”


    Athena’s poprity upon arrival didn’t exceed their expectations.


    So they were biding their time.


    Nearby, Ian had settled down, opening hisptop to search for Joy’s name and photos online.


    His friends gathered around, eager to learn more about her.


    Ian murmured, “That’s strange. Why can’t I find any information about Joy online? No photos, no


    reports or gossip, and I can’t even locate her social media ounts.


    “A beauty of her caliber should be a prominent figure wherever she goes. There’s no way she


    wouldn’t leave a trace online.”


    The others nodded, also puzzled. “Ian is a big shot in the programming and hacking world. If


    someone has any photos or information online, he should be able to find it.”


    Someone suggested, “Maybe her family is protecting her well, like some stars and wealthy families


    do, keeping their children out of the media’s reach.”


    Ian pressed a key with determination. “You’re right; that’s probably the case.”


    He lowered his voice and said, “Wait a moment. I’m going to see if I can ess her student records


    to find out what her background is.”


    As a senior inputer science, Ian was an exceptional student, always ranking first in his ss


    and representing the school in various programmingpetitions, where he frequently took home


    awards. He was already on track for a master’s and doctoral program.


    The school often recruited him forputerbs andwork projects, and with his family’s


    standing in Kitmore City, he had built a widework of seniors, professors, and school


    administrators.


    His friends eximed, “Ian, we’re counting on you.”
