Two boys nodded.
"I saw your performance, and it was truly impressive."
Aisha wore a warm, genuine smile, making both boys blush.
With a comforting seriousness, Aisha added, "Losing this competition doesn't matter. In my heart, you guys are the real champions."
"What do you mean?"
The boys were puzzled. The scores hadn't even been announced yet. Why was she saying they would lose?
Currently, the only ones who might surpass them were from the University of Maple Grove, but the formulas Flora wrote seemed unlikely to score.
"Ms. Aisha, do you know something we don't?" the taller boy asked.
Aisha knew more than they did, being close to the judges.
This was exactly the moment Aisha was waiting for. A hint of triumph flashed in her eyes, though her face still wore an innocent look. "Don't you know? Actually, Flora and Chairman Jiang are…"
...
At the competition venue.
After nearly twenty minutes of waiting, the audience was getting restless.
"They're back! They're back!"
Suddenly, a voice full of excitement burst from the crowd.
Flora and the four judges were seen walking from the entrance.
Jules led the way, the three judges slightly behind, with Flora leisurely trailing at the end.
As soon as Flora approached, Maddox couldn't wait to ask, "Flora, how did it go?"
Mr. Jurado and Brianna couldn't help but look over.
Flora, with a mysterious smile, remained silent.
Jules and the three judges took their seats.
The host, receiving a message through his earpiece, announced with a smile, "The competition continues! The performances from the University of Maple Grove and Imperial Tech among the four colleges were spectacular! Now, let's see their final scores!"
As the host finished, the large screen swiftly displayed the rankings and scores.
University of Maple Grove, 100 points.
