Chapter 24 The Malicious Sibling Impoverished and Arrogant, Scornful of Others

Violeta didn't really need anyone or teams to ace the mission Although Kaylee tagged along. her acquiescence didn't extend to embracing others

Confronted with their invitations, Violeta remained indifferent Soon, everyone slapped the label on her again-The Malicious Sibling Impoverished and Arrogant, Scomful of Others

Standing alongside Violeta, Kaylee whispered, Do you think we can snag a good ranking? Hey, but don't worry, I've been training het twont hold you back. I promise!"

Despite her previous tendency to slack off during training, a week of mingling with Violeta had transformed Kaylee into a dedicated hard worker, and her physical fitness was now quite good. Violeta replied casually, "Just do your best."

She didn't lack fifty thousand and certainly not a spot in a single-person dormitory.

Violeta could've easily opted out of military training, but she didn't want to be the odd one out; she aimed to stroll down the path she had missed in her past life, savoring experiences she had overlooked. Zelena casually spilled the beans about securing a single-person dorm, causing a stir among the others. "Wow, Lena, you've already snagged a single-person dorm? That's awesome! I'm so jealous!" Blushing, Zelena said, "Oh, it's no big deal. My parents were concerned about my living conditions and got me a solo dorm. Though I've actually been looking forward to being roommates with everyone!" Hearing her words, everyone felt a twinge of envy, eager to shower Zelena with praise for her perks.

Zelena reveled in the compliments, feeling pleased with herself. As the free team formation time concluded, everyone lined up once again.

The chief instructor announced, "We've got a little surprise for tonight's training. We've invited four members fro

the team that set the record in the last weightlifting mountain exercise to cheer you on. Let's give them a warm welcome!"

Four guys in regular clothes stepped onto the stage, with the one in a black casual jacket standing out under the spotlight.

The crowd erupted into applause at the sight of them

Clap, clap, clap, clap-
