Narissa had no idea that others were making plans for her.

Meanwhile, Jaylen didn’t let anyone down. The moment he got on stage, he started racking up win after win. As long as he kept going, the matches would just keep coming.
After the fifteenth match finally ended, Jaylen felt completely spent and only then did he step down from the stage.
A person said, “Oh my god, fifteen matches and he won
Another said, “He’s such a legend.”
single one. Jaylen is just incredible!”
Someone else said, “Now we’re only five points behind Lunaris Academy. If we just push a little harder, we could totally beat them.”
The team’s morale was through the roof.
After all, Jaylen had competed in the most matches so far.
No one knew he was planning to jump back in once he’d had enough rest.
“My turn!” Cressida said, her heart pounding with excitement as she watched Jaylen’s amazing streak.
Wanting to have some connection with Jaylen and to congratulate him up close, Cressida decisively chose to go
If she could shine just as brightly, everyone would start shipping her and Jaylen as the campus power couple.
To really sell that couple vibe, Cressida eagerly stepped forward and handed Jaylen a towel. “Jaylen, congrats on you

wins!”
Jaylen nodded politely, sidestepping Cressida’s gesture, and headed straight for Narissa.
Cressida could barely hold back the surge of jealousy burning inside her.

Miranda grinned and encouraged her, “Cressida, you got this! If you put on a great show, Jaylen will, totally see you in a whole new light.”
Thinking Miranda had a point, Cressida marched onto the stage, brimming with fierce determination.
Right now, Shanna held the record for the most matches among the girls, with five wins to her name.
If Cressida could win six matches, she’d be the top girl and totally the perfect match for Jaylen.
Thinking about that, Cressida threw herself into the fight with even more determination.
By the time she finally pushed through her sixth match, Cressida was already feeling exhausted.
She still had another match ahead, but she needed to catch her breath first.
As Cressida stepped down, the Regality Academy side burst into wild applause.
A person said, “Cressida is incredible. No wonder she’s so popular in Regality Academy!”
Another person said, “Seriously! Jaylen is so handsome, and Cressida is so pretty. They’re a total power couple.”
Someone else said, “He’s the battle champ among the guys, and she’s the iron queen of the girls. I’m totally shipping them!”
The whole place was buzzing with playful cheers and teasing, exactly the kind of attention Cressida had been craving.
With a shy, hopeful gaze, Cressida looked over at Jaylen, wishing he’d notice her and give her an admiring look.
Bat Jaylen was leaning in, talking quietly with Narissa, not sparing her a single glance.
All of Cressida’s excitement fizzled out in an instant.
She fumed, ‘Damn it.

‘If it weren’t for Narissa, there’s no way Jaylen wouldn’t be looking at me.’
Trying to catch Jaylen’s eye, Cressida strode right up to Narissa and said seriously, “Stop snacking already.
“When I’m up there, watch carefully and learn a few tricks from me, so you don’t embarrass yourself too much when you lose.”
Narissa didn’t even look at her, just kept eating.
Cressida snapped since she got no reaction, “You have been eating the entire time. Are you a pig or something? Is eating all you know
how to do?
“Do you even know you could get hurt in a match? Tell you what, if you beg me, maybe I’ll give you some fighting tips after I’m done. Who knows, you might even win one.”
Miranda chimed in, “Hey! Narissa, count your blessings.
“If you weren’t Cressida’s sister, you wouldn’t even get this kind of treatment. You should be down on your knees thanking her!”
W seventh round, I’m telling you, you

Narissa finally spoke up, her tone lazy and clearly impatient. “For

But Cressida thought Narissa was looking down on her, and that only made her fighting spirit burn even hotter.
Cressida snapped, “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you underestimating me? Alright then, just watch–I’ll show you
really am!”
She was too riled up to rest and headed straight back onto the stage.
“Narissa, you really don’t know what’s good for you!” Miranda shot her a look of pure disdain and walked away.
“Don’t mind them, Narissa. They’re all crazy,” Gilbert said, trying to comfort her.

Narissa wasn’t fazed at all, but after Cressida stepped onto the stage, she suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on the Lunaris Academy’s
rest area.
“It’s here!” Everyone was stunned.
Gilbert, looking totally confused, blurted out, “What’s here?”
He was up next, so he was understandably a little nervous.
“Narissa, don’t scare me. Is there a ghost here or something?” Gilbert was a big guy but he was surprisingly afraid of ghosts.
