Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 204 The Semifinals Begin

Finally, the day of the semifinals arrived.

The White family's driver dropped Violeta off in the morning at the sports arena.

She had arrived too early and hadn't had breakfast, so she grabbed a sandwich at a nearby convenience store.

As Zoren bit into her third sandwich, the rest of the team began to show up.

In the group chat, Zoren tagged Violeta.

Vio, where are you?'

Violeta replied, 'At the convenience store across the sports arena.'

After getting out of the car, Zoren checked his phone, glanced around, and spotted Violeta sitting with her chin resting on one hand and a sandwich in the other, waving it at him. He quickly walked over. "Vio, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

"Nope, I woke up too early. Didn't want to be late. Have you eaten, Zoren?"

"Yeah, I have."

Zoren sat beside Violeta, barely warming the bench, before others arrived at the sports arena.

They all headed to the convenience store, where Jasper grabbed some milk to drink.

Once Violeta finished her sandwiches, the group walked into the sports arena together.

As soon as they stepped inside, a staff member approached them.

"Are you from Toland University?"

Violeta nodded. "Yeah, we're The Mighty Dragons' team."
