Chapter 48: Frustration (1/2)
”I see you are all here.” The deputy director cleared his throat and said seriously: ”I'm not going to say much. As you all know, Golden Phoenix University is sponsoring a tournament on our planet. Just getting into the top 100 will bring a lot of prestige to you and the school. I hope all of you make an effort and get good results.”
Their eyes got hot.
It was, after all, a tournament between all the best schools on the planet. If they manage to be among the top 100, even among the top 1000, they would already be famous and idolized. Their resources would also increase, possibly even getting energy serum to boost their genes. For that reason alone, it's already made them blush with excitement.
The deputy director said shortly after, ”We will go to Country S tomorrow at 10 am. The tournament starts in a few days in Country S, and we want to arrive early, or else we can't even book a place to stay for the next few days of the tournament. I will be responsible for going with you, along with Professor Flávia and also Professor Acerola.”
Physical education teacher Acerola pretended to cough and added, ”You must have a lot to prepare, we've already told your families, and you can leave early to prepare.”
Before leaving, Maicon Martins glared at Amon and left, snorting. He swore by his ancestors that one day he would make Amon suffer bitterly at his hands.
Elijah was almost the same, though he tried to be nonchalant, his distorted expression giving him away as he saw Amon too close to Julia. He clenched his fists so hard that blood flowed from his palm.

On the way back, Amon, Maisa, and Julia said goodbye to Barbara and Ariel, who had someone to pick them up.
”Amon, Maisa, Julia. See you tomorrow~” Ariel said goodbye with a smile.
”See you tomorrow.” Barbara got into the limo that came to pick her up.
Sonia appeared, she was driving a blue BMW. Amon sat in the front passenger seat while the twins were in the backseat.
Sonia said gently with a smile before starting the car, ”I'm so proud of you.”

In the twins' room, Maisa pouted and said, ”Sister, things are not good. I suspect that Barbara and her mother are attacking with full power. Have you noticed the strange way Amon has been acting since Bianca appeared in the mountains?”
”That…” Julia noticed it too. She also found it strange, and it seems that things were not so simple. As soon as she realized she liked Amon, she was able to identify a little the suggestive looks of another girl, and she saw the same look in Barbara and Bianca.
Julia said with determination, ”We need to work together. If we stick together, we can beat this mother-daughter pair!”
”Yes, you are right!” Maisa firmly agreed.
The twins had flames in their eyes as they shook each other's hands and laughed awkwardly.

Amon, who was packing his bags, felt a sudden shiver. The cold, indifferent eyes swept around, but she didn't notice any presence.
”Weird...” He muttered, then went back to what he was doing.
