...
After a day of rest, the team competition resumed.
For Marington College and the other squads, the upcoming rounds were a spectacular showcase of competitive brilliance.
But for Bianca, it was an absolute living nightmare.
Because what happened next in the team trials left everyone in utter disbelief.
In every single team event, The Hope Initiative dominated the scoreboard, securing first place flawlessly.
No matter how hard Bianca racked her brain to sabotage them...
Even when the Doyle family personally pulled strings behind the scenes...
The Hope Initiative remained an untouchable force.
They held the top spot with ironclad certainty.
And the gap in points was astronomical.
It was the kind of insurmountable lead that completely crushed any thought of catching up.
Meanwhile, The Dreamscape Initiative...
They scraped by in every single match, landing right on the absolute minimum qualifying score.
Not a single point more, not a single point less.
They were perfectly locked into dead last among the advancing teams.
It was surgically precise.
The first time was a coincidence.
The second time was luck.
But the third, the fourth...
It continued flawlessly against every team they faced.
By then, it was nothing short of a blatant, public humiliation.
The competitors were elite scholars, not idiots.
After a few rounds, it was blatantly obvious...
The Hope Initiative was deliberately toying with The Dreamscape Initiative like prey.
After every match, Bianca looked as though she had swallowed glass, her face pale and furious.
She wanted to scream.
She was a nervous wreck.
But she was completely powerless.
In every match, she gave it everything she had, even abandoning her attempts to target Serena.
Yet her team's score remained eternally glued to the absolute bottom of the qualifying bracket.
