Chapter 712 Focus on the Competition
Catherine had just finished her meal when she received a call from Marshall, asking them to gather in
the hotel’s second-floor meeting room in ten minutes to discuss the details of the uing
competition.
“Shall we go?” Catherine looked up at Amelia.
After taking thest bite of the pizza, Amelia mumbled, “Sure,ing right up!” She was too full from
eating but could not waste the delicious food. Having such perks while sharing a dorm with Catherine
was fantastic.
After getting ready, Catherine and Amelia headed towards the meeting room. The third floor of the hotel
was a conference hall with various meeting rooms.
This hotel was the closest to thepetition venue. Since thepetition hadn’t started yet, the early-
arriving teams had to rest in nearby hotels. Several teams from seven or eight countries were staying in
this hotel.
Catherine and Amelia made their way through the crowd towards their meeting room. Catherine’s
beautiful face immediately drew the attention of many.
Unlike the reserved nature of Eskana, people from Ocraolia were more direct in expressing their
emotions. Seeing the beautiful girls pass by, a few men couldn’t help but whistle and tease in a foreign
language.
Catherine remained indifferent, not even bothering to look at them. The members of Marshall’s
experimental team felt extremely embarrassed seeing Catherine being teased.
Paddy scorned. “She’s always acting wanton anywhere to attract attention. This kind of behavior is
really embarrassing.”
“Paddy McLaughlin, you stupid asshole!” said Eamon, ring at Paddy disapprovingly. “What the hell
did you say?”
When Catherine’s seniors overheard Paddy’sment, they immediately confronted Paddy.
Paddy backed down and stopped talking, but he felt very aggrieved. In his view, these people were
bullying him because there were more of them.
After Catherine and Amelia approached, their seniors surrounded them, using their bodies to shield the
two from the intense gazes of those men.
There were few female students in theboratory. Before Catherine arrived, there had been only one
female student. Now that two good-looking juniors hade, their seniors were determined to protect
them.
Marshall had said that sess or failure in the experiment wasmon, but it was a sign of
ipetence if they couldn’t protect their teammates.
Amelia felt a little nervous when she first went abroad and saw so many foreigners. Facing different
races always made her feel a little uneasy. But being protected by her seniors made her feel a little
moved, and she couldn’t help but chat with Catherine. ” Catherine, I feel so safe with them. I was so
nervous, but now I feel rxed!” she said.
Before Catherine could respond, amotion nearby drew everyone’s attention. Someone gave an
exmation of surprise, and all eyes followed that direction.
A group of people in uniform appeared, exuding a powerful aura. With their heads held high, they
looked like top- notch elites.
“Who are they? They don’t look like ordinary people,” Amelia said, curious.
Catherine remained calm, not even bothering to take a look, as she didn’t care.
Upon hearing Amelia’s question, Eamon calmly responded, “It’s the Johnville Optical Team from
Theisia.”
Amelia looked even more shocked.” The team that has won numerous international awards and three
consecutive Nobel Prizes?”
“Exactly,” Eamon said.
This team was well-known internationally, and even Amelia, a freshman, was aware of their strength,
not to mention other long-termpetition participants.
This team was a strong contender for the championship in thispetition, with their poprity second
only to Alton’s team.

As the host country’s team, Alton’s team had a dedicated trainingboratory and didn’t need to stay in
a hotel.
“That’s why we need to work harder!” Marshall’s voice suddenly sounded, drawing everyone’s
attention.
“Professor Hartley!” they all said in unison with great admiration in their eyes.
