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

When Flora's eyebrows drooped, it gave her a naturally cold and authoritative aura that could make anyone uneasy. The girl's bravado crumbled instantly. "Yeah, I hit her, but she hit me too! If you've got the guts, go tell the organizers!" Fighting during the competition meant instant disqualification for both sides once discovered.

She was convinced Flora wouldn't dare to snitch.

"Trying to act tough, huh?"

Flora let out a low, menacing chuckle.

The girl shivered, especially when she noticed a security guard passing by. She quickly stepped away from Flora. "Don't get cocky just because you won the second round. We'll see who's laughing after the third!"

With that, the girl hurried off.

The rest of the Imperial Tech team followed her lead.

Flora turned to Brianna.

The young girl's eyes were red, her cheeks marked by two distinct slap prints, and her once-neat ponytail now a messy tangle hanging at the back of her head-a truly pitiful sight.

"Go wash your face," Flora said, tilting her chin towards the restroom, then glanced at Ivan, "You too."

Five minutes later, Ivan came out of the restroom with Brianna trailing behind him, the slap marks still vivid on her face.
