After few moments of times, Theory class Instructor Theo inter the class.
And as soon as he enters he announced an announcement.
"Oh, by the way, there will be team challenges for theory classes as well."
That was what the instructor said next.
Evelyn decided as soon as she heard those words.
She's going to have Lucas in her team.
Lucas is number one in theory class in allover Nova Academy and even Isabella who is considered a genius comes to second place in theory class. Googlᴇ search novel•fire.net
With Lucas's exceptional knowledge and analytical skills, he would be an invaluable asset to her team in the theory class challenges.
Of course, Having Isabella as her teammates is also the best thing but she wants Lucas to be in her team.
For some personal reasons...
Ah... Anyway, Evelyn continue to focus on class Instructor began his lecture, but Evelyn's mind was already racing with thoughts of how to approach Lucas and convince him to join her team.
"That's it for today. Make sure you review it before next class."
The class ended. Evelyn snapped up from dozing off. She got up quickly and chased after Lucas, who just left the class.
She grabbed Lucas's shoulder.
Lucas looked at her and asked what was going on with his eyes.
Evelyn felt a bit nervous.
"Um, about your team...."
When she was about to ask, someone walked past her.
Ligh blue hair and delicate fragrance.
It was Elera. With an innocent face, she tilted her head and asked.
"Huh? Oh, it doesn't concern you..."
"Lucas decided to team up with me."
Evelyn's facial expression became stiff. She swallowed hard, then turned to Lucas. Lucas nodded somewhat regretfully(?).
"Uh, um, really? Well, I, uh, didn't think you had anyone to team with, so I thought I'd save you. You know, as a fellow traveling club member. Right... well... good luck."
Without knowing what was coming out of her own mouth, Evelyn turned around after smacking Lucas's shoulder.
At first, she didn't know what to think. She was just in a daze. But while she was walking, she suddenly got annoyed and turned back around.
She coincidentally met eyes with Elera who was going the same way.
Elera gave a small nod in greeting. Evelyn clenched her teeth for some 'Unknown" reasons.
Same sex, but opposite personality and approach. Evelyn couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy towards Elera. She had managed to team up with Lucas, while Evelyn's attempt had failed.
As they walked, Evelyn couldn't shake the feeling of frustration that gnawed at her. She wanted to scream, to vent her frustration at the unfairness of it all.
But instead, she forced a smile and engaged in small talk with Elera, pretending that everything was fine. Deep down, however, she couldn't shake the disappointment of not being able to team up with Lucas.
As they parted ways, Evelyn couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat wash over her. She had failed to achieve her goal, and now she was left with no choice but to find another teammate for the theory class challenges.
With a heavy heart, Evelyn made her way back to her apartment.
Elera stopped in the middle of walking. Seeing that she had somewhat of a serious face, I also stopped with her. She stared at me fixedly, then spoke.
"I already submitted the team list."
Team Elera was composed of the following members: Elera, Sunny Black, Bella Iliyas, Lucas Darkheart, Ella.
There's is one thing strange here, Why team Elera instead of team Lucas?
Well that's because Elera told me that she is willing to team up with me only when she's allowed to be team's captain.
Well, I didn't have any problems with her demands, So I let her to become the team's captain.
Anyway, Elera had the 9th rank, and Sunny and Bella were rank 50 and 173 respectively. The team list deadline was Wednesday, but Elera had already submitted it.
"...So you can't go somewhere else."
That's what Elera said. Perhaps because of what Evelyn said, her eyes and voice seemed a bit worried.
"Ah, they're over there!"
At that moment, the other team members arrived. Sunny, Bella, and Ella, all of them.
"We're in the same team now. Let's go get some food together."
Sunny spoke excitedly. Was it because he was in Elera's team?
This idiot is same as ever, Did he thought that no one would noticed his hidden intaintions?
Maybe I shouldn't have asked him to join my team, But it's late to regret anyways.
I glanced at Elera who nodded.
"So where are we going?"
"Mm... well, what do you want to eat, Elera?"
"I'm fine with anything."
Elera wasn't a particularly picky eater, but she seemed a bit reserved, as if she didn't want to impose her preferences on the group.
"Then let's go to that new café that opened up nearby," I suggested.
Everyone agreed, and we headed towards the café together. As we walked, I couldn't help but feel grateful to have Elera as the captain of our team. Despite her quiet demeanor, she exuded a sense of calm and confidence that reassured me.
Once we arrived at the café, we settled into a table and began to chat casually. It was nice to spend time with my teammates outside of class, and I felt a sense of camaraderie growing among us.
As we enjoyed our meal, I couldn't help but reflect on how fortunate I was to have such a great team. Despite the initial setback with Evelyn, everything had worked out for the best, and I was excited to see what challenges lay ahead for us in the team competitions.
With Elera leading the way, I had no doubt that we would be able to tackle whatever obstacles came our way. And as we laughed and joked together, I knew that I had found not just teammates, but true friends.
As the evening drew to a close, we said our goodbyes and parted ways, each of us looking forward to the adventures that awaited us in the days to come. And as I made my way back to my apartment, I couldn't help but feel a sense of optimism for the future.
With Elera by my side, I knew that anything was possible. And as we faced the challenges of the team competitions together, I was confident that we would emerge victorious, stronger and closer than ever before.
