Chapter 268

Everybody stared at Elise while Addison cheered, “Break a leg!” In response, Elise pursed her lipsbefore replying, “I will.” As soon as Elise accepted the challenge, Janice already knew that she wouldwin. With years of training experience, beating Elise was a piece of cake. Hence, Janice suggested,“What’s the point of just competing? Let’s place a bet to make it more exciting.” “What kind of bet?”Elise asked calmly. Looking at Elise, Janice finally said, “How about you take off your mask in front ofeveryone if you lose?” When Addison heard this, she was furious.

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” Ignoring Addison, Janice challenged Elise. “So? Are you upfor it?” Then, the corner of Elise’s mouth tugged upward. “What if you lose?” Immediately, Janiceanswered, “Do you think I’d lose?” The idea of her losing never popped into her mind. “Tsk tsk… Youshould look at the situation you’re in before making big statements as such. Stop acting like you’reinvincible. It’s annoying,” Addison criticized with disdain. With a cold snort, Janice stated, “I’ll doanything you want if I lose.” Quickly, Elise uttered, “I won’t ask for anything else. I just want you toapologize in front of everyone. Can you do that?” “Sure. So, what are we competing in?”

Janice replied indifferently. Hearing this, Elise responded, “You choose! I don’t want you to think thatI’m bullying you.” Janice was offended. “You really don’t know your place, do you? I’ve been through somuch training since I was three, so every event is my strong suit. Do you think I’d worry if you’rebullying me? You can choose! I don’t want you refusing to accept defeat.” With that, Elise nodded herhead and looked around before saying, “Let’s compete in three events. The first to win two games isthe winner.” “Sure.” Then, Elise pointed to the side. “Shooting, rock climbing, and a 100-meter obstaclecourse. Are you okay with that?” “No problem.” After reaching a consensus, everyone sensed warbetween the two.

Noticing that the situation was about to go out of control, Harry stood up. “I’ll be the judge. I promise tobe fair and just.” “Sure.” “Okay!” Elise and Janice replied at the same time. “Alright. Now, let’s move to

the shooting range and prepare.” All the students cheered because they wouldn’t have to train anymoreas they would be watching Elise and Janice compete. With an excited look on their faces, they hurriedto the shooting range. “The competition rules are simple. 10-meter shooting range and three chances.Whoever scores the highest wins.”

As soon as Harry finished, he prepared two handguns for Elise and Janice. Right after, the two ladiespositioned themselves and started aiming at the target board with their guns. “There’s no turning backnow. A bet’s a bet.” After saying this, Janice took her aim quickly. Then, there was a loud bang as shetook her shot. Soon after, the target inspector announced loudly, “9 points!” As for Elise, she aimed atthe bullseye and pulled the trigger. “Elise, 9 points!” Upon hearing this, everyone cheered. “Good luck,Elise!” Addison shouted with the rest of the crowd. Meanwhile, there were also many people rooting forJanice. “All the best, Janice!” Janice smirked and continued with her second shot. “9.5 points. 9.5points.”

For the second shot, both of them received the same score again. With constant training, Janice wasmentally tough. Yet, she started to waver upon seeing this. Holding the gun, she prepared to fire herthird shot. Then, the inspector shouted excitedly, “10 points! 10 points for Janice!” As soon as he saidso, Janice smiled smugly and glanced at Elise provokingly. “Fire your last shot well. Be careful not tomiss because you’ll lose if you do.” Unfazed, Elise took her aim. A loud bang sounded before theinspector shouted, “10 points! 10 points as well!” Then, there was a loud roar of applause. “Well done,Elise!” Janice’s face turned grim as soon as she heard this. She thought that she would win, but theyended up with a tie after three rounds.

Without a winner, they would have to play another round. However, she had lost all her confidence.After taking her aim, she fired and scored 9 points. Seeing this, she frowned, and her hands started tosweat. With standard movements, Elise aimed at the target and fired. The bullet shot through thebullseye. “10 points! Elise scored 10 points! Elise wins this game!” Instantaneously, Janice’s faceturned dark. Shooting was her forte, yet she had lost to Elise. “You’re amazing, Elise!” Addison

showered Elise with praises. Then, Addison shot Janice a provocative look. “Some people are just tooambitious. Now, everyone knows that Elise is much better.” Janice clenched her fists and hissedthrough gritted teeth, “This is only the first game.

Best of three, don’t you understand? She only won the first game, and there are two more. I’m notscared! ” Helplessly, Addison sighed. “You really don’t give up, do you? Never mind. Elise will give youa lesson,” she commented irritatingly. Janice was boiling with anger when she heard this. Yet, herarrogance was greatly extinguished after she lost the first event. Hence, she simply gritted her teethand said nothing in response to Addison’s comment. “See you at the rock climbing site. I’ll definitely winthis time.” With that, Janice straightened her back and walked away.

Annoyed by Janice’s cocky attitude, Addison stuck her tongue out behind Janice’s back. “Do your best,Elise! We’re all rooting for you!” After acknowledging Addison, Elise made her way to the rock climbingsite. With a height of 50 meters, the venue was the university’s biggest rock-climbing site.

After fastening their safety harnesses, Elise and Janice ran toward the wall at Harry’s command. Uponhearing Harry’s command, Janice climbed halfway up the wall in a dash. Turning her head back, sheglanced disdainfully at Elise, who was behind her. Then, she looked back ahead and continued toclimb. Physically strong, she was still breathing steadily halfway up the wall. Yet, she began to losemomentum after that.

Stepping on one of the climbing holds, she gazed at the finishing line not far away. Then, she took adeep breath and told herself to keep it up. However, her foot slipped, and she nearly fell. “Hang on,Janice! You can do it!” the students down below cheered. Right after, she calmed herself and reachedout for the next climbing hold. Just then, she realized that Elise had caught up to her.
