Sylvia's POV:
I closed my eyes and felt the silence around me. My heart thumped. 'Did I fail again?'
Then the screen connected to the huge boulder beeped twice. I half opened my eyes and squinted at the screen. The result was close to excellent.
I breathed a sigh of relief as my bunched-up muscles seemed to relax.
"Honey, you are awesome! Who said you can't do it? There was a glitch in the device. That's why it didn't respond." Yana became excited again. I could feel her dance and jump around in my mind.
"Fortunately, the result is good." I felt lucky.
When I stepped down the platform, Blair came to congratulate me.
"Sylvia, congratulations! I knew you would make it." He smiled at me. As he walked up to me, I saw a group of she-wolves following Blair, trying to strike up a conversation with him.
"Thank you for teaching me all the techniques." I smiled gratefully. Then, I winked and nodded, gesturing for him to look back.
Blair turned around and saw the she-wolves staring at him shyly. He sighed and waved his hands helplessly. "Sylvia, let's talk in some other place."
I nodded in agreement. I had earned the hatred and jealousy of several she-wolves already during the past few second, just for standing beside Blair.
"You've scored well in the first two rounds. As long as you didn't perform too bad in the last one, you will undoubtedly enter Class C or above," Blair said as we walked to the garden. He sounded relaxed yet confident.
However, I wasn't as confident as he was. I wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. The last round of the competition involved testing one's fighting skills. The mere thought of it made my stomach clench with anticipation. My heart sank as I remembered how Rufus had effortlessly defeated me in close combat.
"Don't you have faith in yourself?" Blair sneered.
