Chapter 267

All the students stood in a long line aside and watched as their classmates entered the track for theassessment. Addison was at the very front of the line. She barely passed the 50-meter run and wasexhausted when she finished. Soon, it was Janice’s turn. Standing at the starting line, she had a calmexpression on her face. As soon as she heard Harry’s command to start, she sprinted forward asquickly as lightning. Ruthlessly and steadily, she crossed all the obstacles, prompting her otherclassmates to squeal in excitement. “Wow! She’s so good!”

“My gosh! I couldn’t tackle that obstacle. I can’t believe she passed it so easily!” “Why did it seem sodifficult for me but so easy for her?” To everyone’s amazement, Janice successfully completed theobstacle course in 2 minutes and 37 seconds. Everyone applauded, and even Harry couldn’t refrainfrom expressing approval. “You performed really well. You’re guaranteed to receive full marks with sucha result. Everyone, please learn from Janice.” Smiling brightly, she answered humbly, “Thank you, Sir. Iwas able to achieve such results because I’ve been training since young. It’s normal that everyone elsedid poorly since they rarely train. You can’t use me as a comparison.” “You were amazing, Janice!”

“I’m so jealous that you started training at a young age. You have such a good physique. “You’re ourclass’ number one!” Listening to everyone’s praises, she couldn’t help but feel a little smug. Then, sheglanced at Harry. As their gazes met, he couldn’t help but cough and avert his eyes. “Alright. Next isElise!” When he called Elise, she simply acknowledged and went to the starting line. “Okay. Your timestarts now!” As soon as he said this, she started running and passed the first obstacle effortlessly. Hermovements were even swifter than Janice’s.

All the students who were watching were stunned. As she ran along the course, her movements wereswift, and there was hardly any hesitation. After passing all the obstacles, she sprinted toward the finishline. “What the heck? She’s so fast!” “She already reached the finish line before I realized it.” “Sir,what’s her result?” Quickly, Harry came back to his senses. Luckily, he managed to record her result

immediately after she finished. When he looked down and saw the numbers on the timer, he tensed. “1minute and 59 seconds!” Everyone gasped when they heard the numbers. “Sir, did I hear thatcorrectly? Did she really finish it in 1 minute and 59 seconds? That’s unbelievable!”

“That’s right. Elise only used 1 minute and 59 seconds to complete the obstacle course,” he confirmed.Instantaneously, there was a burst of applause. Watching as she walked over, everyone couldn’t helpbut cheer. “You’re so cool, Elise!” “1 minute and 59 seconds! You’re the legend of our class!” WhenJanice heard their cries, her face turned grim and then white. She was terribly unhappy. It was just afew minutes ago that they were still cheering for her. Now, everyone’s attention was on Elise.Completing the obstacle in 1 minute and 59 seconds was an achievement Janice never dared toimagine. Yet, Janice was unwilling to accept the fact that she had lost to Elise. How is it possible thatI’ve lost to someone so ordinary?

Are my years of training in vain? Janice clenched her fists. Glaring at Elise, who was walking over, hereyes dimmed. “Your results are quite good; you surpassed a professional athlete’s level. May I know ifyou’ve received any professional training before?” Harry asked. Elise narrowed her eyes. The trainingshe underwent was confidential and could not be considered professional training. Besides, she wasnot at liberty to disclose it. Hence, she had no choice but to reply, “Nope!” “Not bad! It’s a great start!”Harry praised with a nod. Everyone cast her envious glances.

“Go ahead and take a rest at the side!” Harry told her. With that, she acknowledged him and went tothe side to rest. Just then, Janice stopped her. “Hold on!” Hearing this, Elise turned to look at Janiceand asked, “Yes?” Janice lifted her eyes and crossed her arms. “Let’s have a competition, shall we?” Itwas an outright challenge from her. Meanwhile, the other students gathered around and watchedenthusiastically. “Wow! A competition between two of the best! It’ll definitely be entertaining!” “Hey,Erudite Elise! Why don’t you satisfy our curiosity?”

“Come on! We’re rooting for you!” In response, Elise furrowed her brows as she was not interested tocompete with Janice. Then, she said, “Sorry, I can’t compete with you.” It was the first time that Janice

was rejected, and it made her upset. Thinking that Elise was looking down on her, she boiled withanger. “Why? Are you scared?” Upon hearing this, Elise lifted her eyes to meet Janice’s and simplyreplied, “I just think it’s unnecessary.” As soon as Elise said so, Janice’s face darkened. “What, now?Are all ugly people so unreasonable?” Disregarding Elise’s feelings, Janice insulted her harshly. “Doyou have low self-esteem? Is that why you keep wearing that mask? To be honest, nobody would laughat you for being ugly.”

Immediately, Elise’s eyes sank. Seeing this, Addison stepped forward and spoke up against Janice.“People with manners wouldn’t criticize other people for their shortcomings. Do you really think thatyou’re the best? You should know that there’s always someone better.” “It’s none of your business!What a busybody!” Janice snorted. Hearing this made Addison furious. Just as Addison was about toretort, Elise pulled her back and gave her an assuring look. Then, Addison said, “What are you scaredof, Elise? Compete with her! You’re much better than her, and everyone saw your result earlier. EvenSergeant Miller said that you’re as good as a professional athlete! Anyway, she already lost to you, sowhy should you reject her?

Besides, I can’t stand that annoying face of hers. How disgusting!” “Who are you calling disgusting?”Janice pointed at Addison fiercely before rolling her eyes. “Do you seriously think that she’s afraid ofyou? We’re just worried that you might look bad after losing to her!” Janice had never faced suchhumiliation before. “Are you brave enough for a match with me?” With a frown, Elise questioned, “Whatevent do you want to compete in?”

Quickly, Janice replied, “Any event’s fine. You choose. I’m okay with anything.” At that moment, Janicesounded so arrogant that even Harry couldn’t help but give her a worried look. However, Janicecompletely ignored him and stared at Elise as she gritted her teeth. Janice had to prove that she wasbetter. “So, are you up for it?”
