Nora wasn't going to hold it against the netizens, though.
After all, they were just joking.
She was a lot more easy-going these days. Though the sight of the news had angered Justin so much that he wanted to have the trending topic removed and delete the entire discussion online, Nora stopped him. She said, "The topic is trending at its peak right now. If you delete it, everybody will find it strange. It's not like they are really ridiculing me anyway, so don't take it to heart."
Justin narrowed his eyes, but then suddenly smiled and said, "Fine. Your birthday will be here soon, though. A lot of people are planning to visit to celebrate it. Let's not turn them down."
Nora:"..."
Honestly speaking, she couldn't be bothered to celebrate her birthday. If she had that much time to spare, she'd rather catch up on sleep.
But since Justin had put it that way, if she continued to turn him down, it would make her seem a little unappreciative.
So, she nodded and replied, "Okay."
There were still a few days to Nora's birthday, so after Cheryl clinched the champion title, she hurriedly returned to the club for more training.
On the day of her return, Lionel and the others decorated the clubhouse in celebration of her victory.
Although they now knew that she was a Hunt, they had indeed gotten along very well during the past month, so they didn't shun Cheryl.
Lionel, in particular, even wagged his brows and said, "Hey, God C. Why did you hide your true capabilities? You should have just told us that you're a master marksman!"
A surprised Cheryl replied, "But I'm really not that good at shooting. Dad, Mom, and my brothers all outshine me at it."
Lionel:"?"
He swallowed hard. "But didn't you say that shooting was your hobby...?"
"Uh-huh! Shooting is my hobby, just not my favorite one. I also like skiing, jogging, long jump, and swimming. Among those hobbies, I'm the weakest at shooting.
That's why I can't really be bothered to spend much time training in it!"
The Olympics had age requirements for all the disciplines, but the one for shooting was the lowest, so Cheryl had participated in that. However, as every participant was only allowed to take part in three disciplines^] at the most, Cheryl would only be able to sign up for a maximum of three disciplines in the next iteration of the Olympics four years later. She was still considering what she should sign up for.
Everyone:"??"
All of them were flabbergasted. "What are you the best
at, then?"
Cheryl raised the keyboard she was holding and replied, "Gaming, of course. Didn't I already say so?"
Lionel's lip corners spasmed a little.
Suddenly, he said, "What a shame."
"What's wrong?"
Puzzled, Cheryl cocked her head to the side.
Lionel gave her a wry smile and replied, "Considering how smart you are, it's a real shame that you're not spending your time on scientific research beneficial to humanity, instead!"
