Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Is This What They Call Talent?

A complete tennis match typically lasts about an hour. However, since this was a friendly match losing three points would result in losing the game. Initially, Kaylee felt nervous as she was facing two boys. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to coordinate well with Violeta. Surprisingly, as the match heated up, Violeta's performance amazed her even more. Kaylee had thought that Violeta couldn't play tennis, but she displayed incredible skills! Not only did Violeta's tennis skills surprise Kaylee, but they also astonished the other spectators. Violeta managed to return every ball they thought she couldn't reach with ten times the force, catching the two boys on the other side off guard. In just twenty-seven minutes, the match came to an end, and Violeta and Kaylee didn't lose a single point. The match was intense! Initially, they had expected the boys to dominate, but the result was unexpected. The referee announced Violeta and Kaylee's team as the winners, and the audience burst into enthusiastic applause. Violeta unzipped her tracksuit and walked towards the sidelines, grabbing a bottle of water to drink. Kaylee followed her, filled with excitement, and couldn't stop talking. "How did you manage to catch that ball? It was incredible I thought you wouldn't be able to, but you did! Violeta, you're my hero!" The fact that Violeta led them to win first place in the military training and even broke the record was already surprising. enough. Now, everyone thought they were in a losing situation, but Violeta turned the tide. It's incredible! Violeta took a sip of water and smiled at Kaylee. "I told you. It's not embarrassing to lose to a strong opponent." Sitting in the audience, Zelena knew that Violeta had won the match. It made her feel even worse than eating dirt!How is this possible? This girl actually won the

match!

What the hell is Henry doing? Didn't he arrange strong opponents for them? Why did Violeta still win the match?

Zelena clenched her water bottle, almost unable to hold back her emotions. Suddenly, an unexpected voice came from beside her. "Violeta won. I thought. she couldn't play tennis. "Is this what they call talent?' At this moment, Zelenal saw something that made her even more unable to hold back. She saw Nolan standing next to Violeta, chatting with her like old friends.

Violeta casually responded to Nolan. "I watched the entire match just now. You played really well." "Thank you." "Did the mosquito repellent come in handy carlier?" Sitting next to Violeta, Kaylee was surprised that the student council president suddenly came over to talk to her. But Nolan is so handsome! Kaylee occasionally glanced at Violeta and Nolan, thinking they looked good together. However, she couldn't understand why Violeta seemed indifferent towards Nolan, as if she didn't want to engage with him. "I didn't use it," Violeta said. Upon hearing Violeta's words, Nolan felt slightly disappointed but still asked, "Why?" Before Violeta could answer, he caught a glimpse of Zelena rushing over. Violeta smiled and said, "You can ask her." Nolan furrowed his brows and looked at Zelena, who was running towards them. "Hi, Nolan." Nolan asked, "Did you use the mosquito repellent?" Zelena was taken aback and answered, "Mosquito repellent...?" At that moment, Kaylee deliberately spoke up, "Oh, so it turns out that Nolan gave the mosquito repellent to Vio. Some people have no shame! They were going around claiming that Nolan gave it to them! Tsk tsk tsk!" Kaylee was intentionally trying to embarrass Zelena. What perfect timing. Zelena's expression froze.
