In the viewing area, Chris’s face was flushed with excitement. He kept turning to the officer beside him. “Look! This is our student! Brilliant in every way.”

Sebastian’s gaze never left Noelle. When her final shot hit the target, his tightly clenched fist slowly relaxed.

Pride swelled in his chest, but when he caught the slight, involuntary tremor of her left leg, a flicker of worry crossed his gaze.

The referee’s voice rang out with exhilaration as he announced the final score, “Noelle, one hundred points! Perfect score!”

The entire training ground erupted into a roar that felt like an earthquake.

All the freshmen chanted in unison, “Noelle! Noelle! Noelle!”

Even though Eleanor and Quinna had long known how skilled Noelle was with a gun, they were still stunned by her performance.

“Noelle is amazing!”

Eleanor practically yelled, her voice splitting.

Quinna was not as loud, but she was just as genuinely impressed.

Whitney stood in the crowd, watching the figure that had everyone’s attention, and finally felt complete

respect.

Noelle deserved the first place.

She could no longer deny it.

Only Viola ground her teeth in frustration. She had worked so hard and schemed so carefully, yet Noelle had still stolen the spotlight.

How infuriating!

Noelle put down the gun and walked back into the crowd.

As she walked, she looked up at the man in the viewing area watching her and gave a faint smile.

“The next contestant, Whitney!”

The audience was still stunned from Noelle’s perfect score, so few were paying attention to Whitney. Still, Whitney took her turn seriously, and she scored well.

Although her score wasn’t as perfect as Noelle’s, the military leaders nodded in approval.

Next was Quinna, who did well, and Eleanor, who was slightly behind.

“Next, Viola!”

Viola?

Noelle frowned at the name and looked over.

She hadn’t even known Viola had come to Kingstowne University.

She hadn’t been paying attention to her at all.

The next moment, Viola held her head high and strode onto the field, picking up a gun.

Noelle’s eyes narrowed.

Heh!

Viola had made it into Kingstowne University too.

Viola’s shooting performance was almost unbearable to watch. Her shots went wildly off target, and she came in dead last.

Her face went pale as she lowered the gun. Surrounded by sneers and indifference, she fled back to the group in humiliation.

The closing ceremony began with rousing military music.

As the Chief Instructor, Sebastian personally awarded the winners of each event.

When the announcer called out, “Overall Champion–Noelle!“, the crowd erupted once again into the loudest cheers of the day.

Sebastian walked up to Noelle while holding the gold medal that symbolized the highest honor. It gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.

His deep eyes settled on Noelle’s face. They held pride, approval, and also a trace of restrained worry.

His low voice was heard across the field through the microphone. “Congratulations, Noelle.”

Carefully, almost reverently, he placed the medal around her neck. His fingers accidentally brushed the back of her neck, and she felt a warm tingle.

From an angle the crowd couldn’t see, he whispered something just for her, “How is your foot? Get it checked as soon as you’re back.”

Noelle looked up and met his eyes.

“It’s just a small injury,” she said with a smile.

The cameras caught everything and broadcast it live.

[Ahh, they look so good together. I ship them!]

[No way! Although the instructor is handsome, he looks too old for Noelle.]

[Exactly. Noelle shines bright on her own.]

[Stay away from her, especially some older men like him.]

The viewers didn’t know about Noelle and Sebastian’s relationship, so they commented that they were not a good match. But the freshmen knew about them, and they were losing their minds.

[Damn! Mr. Menzie is presenting her the award. Look at that gaze. I am dead.]

[They are totally whispering to each other. She’s smiling!]

[What a match made in heaven! True power couple!]

[This is basically their wedding!]

The award ceremony ended, officially closing the military drill.

But the main issue had not yet been resolved.

“Someone put silver needles in Noelle’s shoes last night. I’ve already sent people to investigate,” Sebastian said calmly. “I hope whoever did this will come forward themselves. You know the consequences if my people find out.”

“Kingstowne University is a prestigious institution. We will never tolerate anyone who tries to hurt another student. Once we find out who did it, there will be no leniency!” Chris added firmly.

The freshmen below began to whisper, but not a single person stepped forward.

Viola stood in the crowd with her hands clenched tight.

Soon, Elliot brought a pale, trembling girl to the stage.

Elliot spoke in a cold voice. “Mr. Menzie, we found her. It is Mabel Watson, a freshman from the finance department. We found the same needles in the hidden pocket of her suitcase, and she has confessed.”

The girl named Mabel sobbed as she cried out, “It’s me! I did it! I was jealous of Noelle–because she’s smart and beautiful–I lost my mind for a moment. Please, forgive me! Boohoo-”
