Kaylee’s crying gave Violeta an instant headache. She swiveled back to her bunk, announcing. “I need rest now. If you’re planning to cry, go do it outside.”
Zelena became the talk of the freshmen after the incident. Cleverly, to repa delivery of ten whole roasted lambs, winning back some favor
her image, the organized the
Zelena obtained a forged sick leave report that hinted at her connections with the school higher–ups. The instructor looked the other way; the aroma of roasted lamb was just too tempting!
Later that night, everyone gathered for a feast of roasted lamb, excluding Kaylee and Violeta.
Despite the tempting aroma, Kaylee heeded Violeta’s advice and opted for diligent ointment application and a break from spicy food.
Violeta was a bit of an oddball. She sat aside, nibbling on her snacks.
Kaylee approached Violeta, murmuring, “Is she intentionally trying to mess with me or what? With my face under stress and looking so damn sensitive and ugly, she’s got the nerve to indulge in roasted lamb!”
“Hey, I got my hands on this ointment through someone. I used it for two days, and my face genuinely improved. It’s like magic and super affordable. How did you find out about it, by the way?”
“Oh. I’ve got some jello here. Want some?”
The ever–talkative Kaylee positioned herself next to Violeta, keeping the conversation alive without a break. Violeta hardly acknowledged her presence, and Kaylee happily continued her one–woman show.
Initially, Kaylee thought Violeta was just acting distant. However, after spending more time together. Kaylee realized that Violeta didn’t enjoy talking but had a genuinely good heart.
Since the entire class, except Violeta and Kaylee, skipped Zelena’s roasted lamb treat, they became the talk of the town the next day.
“Oh my gosh! I nearly had a heart attack looking at her terrifying face!”
“Yeah, it could be some contagious disease. I’m steering clear, anyway.”
“Well, birds of a feather, right?! Now she’s stuck hanging out with Violeta, the other weirdo in the class! Judging by her sorry state, I bet Kaylee’s face is probably in ruins!”
Zelena intensely disliked Kaylee, but her primary aim was to ensure Violeta had neither friends nor backups.
To sabotage their friendship. After a couple of days, Zelena brought a set of high–end skincare products to give Kaylee, hoping to win her.
“Hi, Kaylee, give these skincare products a shot. They work wonders for your face, especially with those rashes. It should help!”
While Kaylee was applying the ointment recommended by Violeta to her face, she caught on to Zelena’s intentions and became visibly annoyed.

you don’t want it, toss it away yourself. Do I look like your maid? What a joke!”
Taken aback by Kaylee’s insult, Zelena suppressed her anger, mindful of the onlookers in the tent.
“You’ve got it wrong, my dear. I haven’t used these myself. Look at what you’re using: it’s too cheap. I’ve got you a high–end skincare product; this should cost over twenty thousand!”
Zelena deliberately mentioned the price to underscore her generosity, drawing the attention of those around them.
Kaylee used to have a different idea about Violeta because of a lack of understanding. Zelena intentionally misled her into thinking Violeta was a malicious and fake rich girl.
However, after spending this past week with Violeta, Kaylee realized Violeta was genuinely a good person. much better than the fake and malicious Zelena by a long shot!
Just then, Violeta walked over, holding a hat.
Seeing her, Kaylee quickly jogged over with a cute fangirl expression.
“Hey, wait for me, Violeta! Let’s head to the assembly together!”
Judging by Kaylee’s demeanor, it was evident she had fallen entirely under Violeta’s charm.
On the other side, Zelena, clutching her skincare products, stood there with a gloomy expression.
Trash attracts trash; classic!” Zelena mused. ‘Looks like I can finally stop wasting my valuable time on this small–minded girl. I doubt Kaylee will achieve much; I bet she’ll end up as a performance class teacher at T University!
Zelena strategically built connections with those on the path to significant achievements, fully aware of the importance of networking in her career, especially at this juncture!
Kaylee and Violeta exited the tent together.
On the way, Kaylee resumed her constant chatter, “Who does Zelena think she is? She must have hidden motives. Now that my face has finally cleared up, and if I go back to using her skincare products, it’s likely to worsen again!” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Violeta glanced at her face, “Your skin has improved significantly.”
Kaylee was pleased with the praise. Her eyes lit up, “Right? Do you also think my face has gotten much better? I thought it was just me overthinking. Hey, Violeta, I appreciate your affirmation!”
Before long, they arrived at the assembly point together, and the entire team was there waiting.
The chief instructor announced that the military training was nearing its end. Today, they would form teams and undergo a night exercise carrying weights over the mountains. The first ten teams to reach the destination would receive a spécial honor from the school.
Hearing this, everyone sighed.
The instructor coldly scanned the crowd, and everyone fell silent.
Chapter 23 Team Assessment
Initially, they had the liberty to assemble their teams, with the instructor assigning the remaining participants.
The top ten teams in the mountain exercise stood to gain a school reward worth fifty thousand and a solo dormitory. This proposition proved tempting for everyone.
Not everyone could readily pull out fifty thousand among the several thousand freshmen present, not to mention the added allure of a single–person dormitory!
At T University, students living in the building with solo dorms were automatically assumed to be wealthy and privileged. Once settled in, knowing a few people guaranteed a significant leap in social circles!
As teams formed, all eyes turned to Violeta, who was acknowledged as having the strongest overall strength in the class.
However, since everyone had previously isolated her, actively inviting her to join a team now would be too awkward.
Kaylee approached Violeta and proposed, “Violeta, let’s team up!”
Violeta didn’t say no.
Yet, with two already on the team, there were still two vacant spots. The rest of the girls went quiet for a moment, then hastily extended invitations to Violeta to join their teams.
Observing from a distance, Zelena saw them clustering around Violeta like a swarm of bees drawn to a flower.
She couldn’t help but disdainfully roll her eyes and thought. Only fifty thousand made them act like this? Haven’t they seen money before?
As for the solo dormitory, Zelena had already secured one through connections, even though she wouldn’t be living there.
However, for expanding her social network, it was still valuable.
She didn’t need to rely on getting into the top ten for these rewards, Therefore, she needed to attach more importance to it. But for Violeta, after leaving the Blake family, she must need this fifty thousand!
