Just like that, Charlie effectively stopped Yvette from sheaking away.
He added for good measure, âYvette, Mr. Rusell reminded me many times to bring you along. Also, Dr. Marx is the judge for todayâs competition. You didnât get to meet him yesterday, right? You can meet him today, then!â
Seeing Charlieâs persistence, Yvette knew there was no longer any chance she could sneak out.
She lightly rubbed her temples and said in resignation, âLetâs go.â
Since Eustace came all the way to Jubilife, Yvette knew there was no point trying to avoid meeting him. She decided to just meet Eustace today.
When the class arrived at the competition venue, the people from Yael University had also just made their entrance. They were surrounding Eustace, trying to curry his favor.
Eustace wasnât only renowned within Croedal. He was known internationally, too. The people from Yael University respected him very much, âDr. Marx, we really admire you! Weâre incredibly honored to have finally met you!â
Eustace, however, did not even bat an eye. Instead, he looked over at the Jubilife University group, and his gaze was locked on Yvette. It was as if he was telling Yvette to stop avoiding him.
The Jubilife students had no idea that a secret conversation was happening between the two. They became excited as he looked over at them.
âOh my God, Dr. Marx is looking at us!â
âHoly, he really is looking at us! I wonder if heâs looking for me.â
âScram! Why would he look for you? He must be looking at meâ¦. If Dr. Marx ever took an apprentice in, they would have such a bright future ahead of them!â
To their dismay, Jason, Zavier, and Casper were openly ignored by Eustace. Their faces fell, but they still had time to approach the Jubilife University students and sneer at them.
âWe pledge to teach Jubilife University a lesson at the match today. Be prepared to get defeated!â
The Jubilife students were furious at how arrogant the three were still being.
âWatch your arrogance! We still donât know who will get the last laugh!â
Casper whispered something in Jasonâs ear just then, which made Jason even more arrogant.
Jason haughtily looked down on the Jubilife group.
spat, âJubilife University is bound to lose. If you admit defeat now, weâll have mercy on you.
Otherwise, youâll just embarrass yourselves on stage!â
ââYou littleââ
The Jubilife University students were infuriated, of course. But before they got physical, Yvette stopped them.
âThatâs enough, If a dog bit you, are you going to bite the dog in retaliation?â Yvette spoke nonchalantly. but her words angered the Yael University students.
âJust prove them wrong during the competition,â she continued.
Vista University sent Liam as their representative, and his skills were impeccable. Madison may not be as gifted as Liam, but she was more than enough to win against Yael University.
The CroÄdalian representatives were bound to win this friendly match.
One of them spoke in their native language, âYvieâs right. If a dog bites us, we canât simply bite it back. Letâs just prove them wrong in the competition!â
Jason, Zavier, and Cox may not be good in Croedalian, but they could tell that they were getting insulted. Zavier hissed, âWhatever, I canât wait to see you all bawl your eyes out after losing the competition!â
Soon, the competition began. Yael University sent their two representatives, who arrogantly went up the stage.
