"No worries, I've already eaten."
"Alright then." Mr. Tanner kept his warm smile, "Have a seat for a bit; the competition's about to start."
"Mm-hmm."
Flora nodded absentmindedly.
At 9:10 AM.
The host stepped onto the stage, speaking slowly, "Good morning, everyone. Congratulations on making it through the preliminaries to the semifinals. Now, let me go over the details and rules for the second round—"
The semifinals would still be individual contests, but team scores would be calculated.
This round, Lone Island would present twenty questions. Contestants needed to answer on stage within a thirty-minute timeframe.
Since it was a draw, only ten out of the twenty contestants from each team would ultimately take the stage.
After explaining the rules briefly, Mr. Tanner rubbed his hands together, silently hoping Flora would be drawn!
The other contestants felt the same way.
With Flora on stage, victory was almost certain.
They had once seen Flora as a weak link, thinking she would drag them down. But now, she was their secret weapon.
What a turnaround.
"Alright, team leaders, please come up to draw."
After the host finished, Mr. Tanner climbed onto the stage, his steps a bit stiff from nerves.
Then, the drawing—
...
"Coach, who did we get?"
As Mr. Tanner came down, all the contestants couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Did we get Flora?
"Why the rush? It doesn't really matter who we draw, does it?"
