    “Did you see that? Jubilife University won!” Beaming, Matt almost jumped off the stage in joy.


    “As expected of Yvie. She’s the pride of Jubilife University.”

    If Yvette hadn’t won so many points, overtaking the Vista University team by 10 points, the Jubilife


    University team wouldn’t have won.


    “Don’t get


    ttoo ahead of yourself, Matt. They just won one round. There’s a second round, remember?”


    Patrick was shocked, too. But he continued, “The second round centers on practical skills, which


    Liam is the best at. Vista University will win the second round.


    Meanwhile, Yvette did another long stretch. She wasn’t at all excited about the prospect of winning.


    Still rxed, Yvette prodded off the stage. Nora and the other three members of the team finally


    recovered from the shock.


    “Oh my God, we won just like that?”


    “I know, right? That was so sudden. I couldn’t even react in time.”


    They couldn’t believe that their team had won. On top of that, it was Yvette who led them to victory!


    They had all assumed her to be the biggest burden on the team.


    The team felt embarrassed, but they were happy to win. Prior to this year, Vista University had won


    ever single medicalpetition. The Jubilife University students felt proud to have finally won a


    round for


    once.


    They began to view Yvette differently. At the thought of what they said to Yvette previously, they felt


    extremely ashamed of themselves.


    Nora’s facial expression became glum. Surprised by Yvette’s capabilities, Nora didn’t like how


    Yvette stole


    her thunder.


    “Hello, my name is Liam Jablon,” Liam said, stopping Yvette on her way down. He looked at her


    with admiration. “Can we be friends?”


    Hearing his words, Yvette nced at Liam and said, “Yvette Murray.”


    For some odd reason, Liam felt bashful from her gaze. He tried to maintain hisposure as he


    said,” You’re good. I’m looking forward to your performance in the next round!”


    Yvette was the only person Liam would acknowledge as his rival.


    “Sure,” Yvette said, nodding casually. Then, she turned around and went backstage without


    hesitance.


    Liam’s gaze followed Yvette until she was a distance away. He smiled, thinking that today’s


    competition


    was worth his time.


    “Wow, Yvette earned Liam’s respect. That proves how good she is!”


    “You’re right. Yvette surprised me. But seriously, she’s so calm even when talking to a hot guy like


    Liam. If it were me, I would’ve pounced on him.”


    “I admit that I was too quick to judge Yvette. From today onward, Yvette is my idol!”


    “Mine too.”


    “Yvette Murray!”


    “Yvette Murray!”


    2/2


    “Yvette Murray!”


    The crowd continued to cheer, but Yasmin’s expression was grim. She almost broke her nails in


    agitation.


    Yasmin thought Nora was useless, wondering how thetter managed to allow Yvette to get all the


    attention. She was pissed just thinking about it.
