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

9:30 a.m. The competition officially began.

"Team Austenberg, Selene from the medical organization, Orla from Team M of the Youth category... please welcome these thirty contestants to the stage!" As the host's voice faded, Selene stood up from her seat.

"Selene, no rush, just stay steady. With your skills, there's absolutely no problem," Mr. Tanner whispered.

Selene nodded and confidently strode towards the stage.

Flora was seated in front of her. When Selene passed by, she couldn't help but glance at her. Coincidentally, Flora also looked up.

"First place, in the bag," Flora said casually. Among this group, only Team M posed any real challenge, but even they were no match for Selene.

If Selene didn't take first place, that would be a real shocker.

Selene smiled, her eyes lighting up with amusement. "Yeah, in the bag," she replied, then confidently walked onto the stage.

With thirty contestants in this round, there were thirty computers on the stage, arranged in three rows. Following the host's calling order, Selene took her place at the end of the second row.
