The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 293

Sylvia's POV:

Even after Shawn left in a huff, Warren was still getting an earful from his father. I figured that he wouldn't be able to get rid of his father anytime soon.

Eventually, Flora, Harry, and I decided to leave Warren behind and go back to school first.

We settled down in a cafe to discuss the competition.

Although joining the selection was voluntary, it was estimated that there was going to be a lot of applicants.

Flora took out a small notebook and started scribbling on it. She jotted down the names of all the people in Class A. Then she analyzed the list carefully and crossed out names one by one. Harry propped his head on his hand and took a sip of his juice dejectedly. "It's not going to be easy. All the competitors have to fight one-on-one. Only the top six will be qualified to enter the forbidden forest. So few! What if the referee makes the wrong call? Or what if Flora and I end up in the same set? Should I let her win or—"

Before Harry could finish his sentence, Flora bonked him on the head.

"You don't need to let me win, you dummy. I'll defeat you with my own strength! Besides, the names will be drawn randomly. The referees are from the military, so I doubt they will tamper with the names."

Harry rubbed his bruised head with one hand, scowling unhappily. "You could've just said so. I don't know how Warren tolerates you."

Flora blew her fist and shot him a fierce glare before Harry obediently fell silent.

The more we discussed, the more I began to worry about the competition. As Harry mentioned, there were only six places that'd make it to the finals. There were simply too many uncontrollable factors and unforeseeable circumstances. I could fail utterly if I took one wrong step. Even the final six people would have to enter the forbidden forest and return with the blue cornflower before they formally passed the test.

The competition would start with activities in the outermost circle of the forbidden forest. Beforehand, this area would be cleared up to ensure the safety of the contestants. However, the ever-changing nature of the forbidden forest was outside human control.

"Sylvia, don't worry. Together, we'll figure out how you can get first place." Flora patted me on the shoulder, jolting me back to reality.

"Yeah. I've made up my mind. If we end up in the same set, I'll just quit. That way, you can save your strength for the other contestants." Harry smiled brightly. "I'll do anything for my friend!"
