Everybody stared at Elise while Addison cheered, “Break a leg!” In response, Elise pursed her lips
before replying, “I will.” As soon as Elise accepted the challenge, Janice already knew that she would
win. 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 of
everyone 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 up
for it?” Then, the corner of Elise’s mouth tugged upward. “What if you lose?” Immediately, Janice
answered, “Do you think I’d lose?” The idea of her losing never popped into her mind. “Tsk tsk… You
should look at the situation you’re in before making big statements as such. Stop acting like you’re
invincible. It’s annoying,” Addison criticized with disdain. With a cold snort, Janice stated, “I’ll do
anything you want if I lose.” Quickly, Elise uttered, “I won’t ask for anything else. I just want you to
apologize 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 that
I’m bullying you.” Janice was offended. “You really don’t know your place, do you? I’ve been through so
much training since I was three, so every event is my strong suit. Do you think I’d worry if you’re
bullying me? You can choose! I don’t want you refusing to accept defeat.” With that, Elise nodded her
head and looked around before saying, “Let’s compete in three events. The first to win two games is
the winner.” “Sure.” Then, Elise pointed to the side. “Shooting, rock climbing, and a 100-meter obstacle
course. Are you okay with that?” “No problem.” After reaching a consensus, everyone sensed war
between the two.
Noticing that the situation was about to go out of control, Harry stood up. “I’ll be the judge. I promise to
be 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 anymore
as they would be watching Elise and Janice compete. With an excited look on their faces, they hurried
to 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 ladies
positioned themselves and started aiming at the target board with their guns. “There’s no turning back
now. A bet’s a bet.” After saying this, Janice took her aim quickly. Then, there was a loud bang as she
took her shot. Soon after, the target inspector announced loudly, “9 points!” As for Elise, she aimed at
the 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 for
Janice. “All the best, Janice!” Janice smirked and continued with her second shot. “9.5 points. 9.5
points.”
For the second shot, both of them received the same score again. With constant training, Janice was
mentally tough. Yet, she started to waver upon seeing this. Holding the gun, she prepared to fire her
third shot. Then, the inspector shouted excitedly, “10 points! 10 points for Janice!” As soon as he said
so, Janice smiled smugly and glanced at Elise provokingly. “Fire your last shot well. Be careful not to
miss because you’ll lose if you do.” Unfazed, Elise took her aim. A loud bang sounded before the
inspector 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 they
ended 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 to
sweat. With standard movements, Elise aimed at the target and fired. The bullet shot through the
bullseye. “10 points! Elise scored 10 points! Elise wins this game!” Instantaneously, Janice’s face
turned 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 too
ambitious. Now, everyone knows that Elise is much better.” Janice clenched her fists and hissed
through 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 not
scared! ” Helplessly, Addison sighed. “You really don’t give up, do you? Never mind. Elise will give you
a lesson,” she commented irritatingly. Janice was boiling with anger when she heard this. Yet, her
arrogance was greatly extinguished after she lost the first event. Hence, she simply gritted her teeth
and said nothing in response to Addison’s comment. “See you at the rock climbing site. I’ll definitely win
this 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 climbing
site. 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. Upon
hearing Harry’s command, Janice climbed halfway up the wall in a dash. Turning her head back, she
glanced disdainfully at Elise, who was behind her. Then, she looked back ahead and continued to
climb. Physically strong, she was still breathing steadily halfway up the wall. Yet, she began to lose
momentum after that.
Stepping on one of the climbing holds, she gazed at the finishing line not far away. Then, she took a
deep 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 reached
out for the next climbing hold. Just then, she realized that Elise had caught up to her.
