"You really knocked it out of the park on your final assessment, reaching the level needed for the National Military Base. Have you ever thought about joining?"
"No."
Flora didn't even hesitate.
Kurt was taken aback; he hadn't expected her to decline so quickly.
He paused, then continued, "Flora, your talent is incredible. At the University of Maple Grove, you won't be able to reach your full potential. The National Military Base has the most advanced equipment and top-notch professionals. I hate to see such talent go to waste, and I can't stand the thought of our country losing such a promising asset. That's why I personally came to the University of Maple Grove to invite you."
"Don't you want to win gold for your country one day, to see your national flag raised in your honor on the victory podium, admired by other nations? Trust me, you won't regret this decision."
"Sorry, I'm really not interested."
Kurt tried hard to convince her, but Flora stood her ground.
Kurt found himself at a loss for words as he gazed into her clear, determined eyes.
She was a girl with strong convictions, not easily swayed by a few persuasive words.
"Here's my card. Think it over, and if you change your mind, give me a call. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up." Kurt's tone was almost pleading. "You could also come by and check out the place; you might change your mind."
Flora smiled, took the card, and tucked it into her pocket.
Mr. Richard was visibly relieved.
He had been genuinely worried that Flora might go with Kurt.
His expression softened as he looked at Flora. "Flora, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and we need a freshman representative to give a speech. All the teachers agree you're the perfect choice."
Honestly, there wasn't anyone else who could fit the role as well as Flora.
Another speech...
Flora frowned, "Mr. Garcia, maybe you should find someone else. I don't think I'm the right person for this."
"What's there to think about? It's simple."
