Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 483

The cumulative scores from the first and second rounds secured the top competitors' spots in the final round. Imperial Tech had shone brightly in both rounds, even outpacing the second-place team. Consequently, the final practical round promised a fierce showdown between Maple Grove University and Imperial Tech.

With Flora on their side, Maple Grove University felt more confident. Brianna perked up, "This championship is practically ours. Imperial Tech doesn't stand a chance."

Just then, members of the Imperial Tech team approached, catching Brianna and Ivan mid-conversation. Already simmering with resentment, their irritation spiked upon overhearing Brianna. "How exactly did Maple Grove win this year? You know it’s a joke, right? This is a Computer Science competition, and you brought a freshman from the Medical department. What’s more laughable is how proud you all are about it. Isn’t that embarrassing?" they sneered.

Brianna’s face darkened, "What’s wrong with having a freshman from Medical? Didn’t she beat you guys too?"

"Sure, we lost, but your win wasn’t exactly honorable," a girl from the Imperial Tech team retorted with a smirk. "Brianna, you always thought you were a genius, didn't you? Compared to Flora, you’re nothing. She could crush you without even trying."

Both sides were fuming, and the exchange got nastier and nastier. The last thing Brianna could tolerate was being told she was inferior to Flora, making her eyes blaze with anger.

Ivan held her back, trying to defuse the situation. But the girl from Imperial Tech only grew more arrogant, sensing their advantage in numbers. Brianna and Ivan faced increasingly vile taunts.

Unable to hold back, Brianna shoved the girl. The girl responded by slapping Brianna across the face. Enraged, Brianna lunged at her, and they started to fight.

The girl, clearly trained, was much stronger, leaving Brianna at a disadvantage. "This is between the girls; stay out of it," a few boys told Ivan, blocking his path.
