In individual scoring:
First ce: Team Z’s XUN-Meng with 6 points.
Second ce: Team M’s captain Lake with 5.8 points.
Third ce: Team P’s Luyebi with 5.5 points.
The scores were close. Any small mistake could upend the rankings.
As the first day ofpetition drew to a close, Team M’s members shot Madison and her team
hostile nces before departing with troubled expressions.
It wasn’t until everyone was back on the bus that Old Gao, who had been silent until then, suddenly
burst intoughter.
Hisughter broke the tension, and many pilots followed suit, their mood lightening.
Everyone rxed, except for Madison, who remained expressionles as she gazed out of the bus
window!
Brian, sitting beside her, asked, “Madison, what are you thinking
about?”
Madison turned to him, pausing before speaking, “There are three more events to go. Our lead over
Team M is only 0.8 points, which they could easily overtake.”
The uing participants in thest three events were crucial.
If they secured full points, they would be the champions of the year!
The pressure was immense.
Meanwhile, Brian, Zuo Yulei, and Madison fell into a solemn silence.

“Rest well tonight, especially you three. Absolutely no careless eating or drinking,” Old Gao
cautioned Madison, Brian, and Zuo Yulei in the hotel lobby.
Madison’s event was on thest day, followed by the award
ceremony.
So tomorrow’s scheduleprised the third and fourth individual
events.
Retiring to her room, Madison sat in a chair for a long while, the bted tension crawling up her
arms.
Even while dialing Ethan’s number on her phone, her hands shook.
The other side indicated a switched-off device. Feeling worn, she
showered and crawled into bed to sleep.
Due to a dy, Ethan’s journey was held up for seven or eight hours a city en route, leaving him
exhausted from the arduous travel.
This meant Ethan only saw the message alerting him to Madison’s call the following evening.
However, thanks to William’s reminder that they would be at thepetition venue by then, Ethan
didn’t call back.
Without even a moment to catch up on sleep, he rushed to the site.
Apanying Ethan were William, Michael, Jessica, Amelia, and Evel.
They hurried to the venue in a single car.

At the same time, within thepetition grounds, a chorus of cheers was sounding.
Team Z’s members sat in silence, whether in victory or defeat, they remained upright and proper.
However, Zuo Yulei, just down from her individual event, already had red-rimmed eyes.
She had lost, unable to best Team M’spetitor.
Half a minuteter.
The big screen showed Team Z firmly suppressed by Team M, with a lead of 1.5 points.
Zuo Yulei had made an error, failing to secure full points.
It was the fourth event, known for its difficulty.
“You did well, don’t overthink it,” Madison offered.
Zuo Yulei bit her lip, silent.
Until Team M’s members walked by, radiating pride and disdain, did Zuo Yulei cover her face and
cry.
Everyone had performed wlessly, securing full points, except for her nervous slip-up, which cost
her 1.5 points.
Madison watched the distant sky, “What’s the use of crying? Will it bring back your 1.5 points?”
Zuo Yulei looked up tearfully, “I…I let the side down…”
Madison was at her wits’ end, “Let’s head back.”
Only the final event remained for tomorrow.

from Team M.
Team M’s members were all highly skilled.
In other words, whether they could win the championship depended on Madison’s performance the
next day.
For a moment, the entire team fell into a tense silence, no one daring
to speak out of turn.
