Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1086

Singing and dancing in a harmonious setting came to mind when Elise heard the words 'cultural festival'.

When it was associated with children, celebrations generally featured adorable performances. What the audience wanted to see was the kids' innocence and vigor. However, she knew that the Triune's cultural festival must be different, so she moved closer to the wall to get a better view.

Several men surrounded the plaza to maintain order. They were clad in the clothes of medieval European guards with swords in their hands. Geez! Talk about looking intimidating.

The person giving instructions to the kids was a woman. Her clothes were similar to those of the other guards, but she was supposed to be of a higher rank.

"All of you, go up there!" the woman ordered while pointing at the platform that was just as tall as she was.

The kids divided themselves into two groups and went up the steps in an orderly manner. Soon, the platform was crammed with people. Some of them could only stand on the steps or near the fences.

"Listen up. Two people will form a group. You can choose your partner freely. The only thing you have to do is to push everyone else off the platform. Only one group will be left."

When the woman finished explaining the rules, she activated the timer and said, "You only have five minutes. Start now."

The next moment, the kids on the platform flared up like oil in a frying pan. The kids on the steps were pushed down before they even managed to form into groups.

Nevertheless, they were considered lucky. The woman was lanky, and the fences around the platform were about 1.6 feet tall. In other words, the platform was about 6.5 feet in height. The ground was made from cement. If fragile kids like them fell to the ground, they might hurt their necks and brains, which were no laughing matter.

These people are so mentally distorted by letting kids take part in such a cruel game. Elise furrowed her brows, for she was concerned about these kids.

Much to her surprise, other than a spectator like her, no one around her questioned the legitimacy of this game. Even the participants reacted like robots and got into a fight upon receiving the order. One by one, the kids fell off the platform and thudded against the cement ground, which was a heart-wrenching sight.

In just two minutes, only a chubby kid and a thin one left. They were apparently in the same group. The chubby kid was already celebrating their victory with raised fists.

"Well done. Both of you have passed the test. Come down." The woman stopped the timer before announcing their victory.

The chubby kid draped his arm around the other kid's shoulder and shuffled toward the steps, ready to accept some compliments. However, before they even walked down the stairs, the thin kid suddenly pushed the other one down.

In an instant, the chubby kid lost his balance and rolled down the steps. By the time he reached the ground, he had passed out.

The woman took a glance at the kid on the floor before looking up. "Why did you make a move on your team member?"

"For the same batch of kids, only one will get the chance to receive the organization's training. There are no team members, to begin with. He and I have been competitors since the beginning. There's no reason for me to miss such a chance." The thin kid appeared calm and collected, as though he didn't feel his action was despicable at all.

Elise looked at his bony face and felt disgusted.

She initially thought that the woman would chastise him, but to her surprise, the latter praised the young kid instead.

The thin kid adjusted his glasses without responding to her. Nevertheless, his expression was smug and conceited.

At that moment, Elise felt as though she was looking at another Owen. The next instant, she realized something and placed her hand on her belly.
