Chapter 132-3

attacks with minimal effort. Toby, growing frustrated, thought she was merely stalling.

’This girl’s not as tough as she seems,’ he thought.

All the students were skeptical of Danielle, and now that they saw her dodging every attack, they were even more convinced she wasn’t up to it. She just wasn’t capable...

But just as her opponent let his guard down, Danielle moved with lightning speed, landing a punch square on Toby’s chest.

Before Toby could even react, Danielle swiftly followed up with a kick to his back, sending him crashing to the ground. The whole sequence was flawless, smooth, and swift-practically second nature.

Aside from Maximus and Luke, everyone else on the field gasped in disbelief, their eyes wide in shock. What had just happened? Danielle had defeated the instructor with ease, and the move was clean, quick-her opponent didn’t even have a chance to fight back.

Danielle walked over to Toby, bending down to whisper in a tone only the two of them could hear, "Never underestimate your opponent."

She looked delicate and frail, but the strength she’d just shown made her seem like a demon in disguise.

Instantly, the students from Class 2 erupted in cheers, shouting, "Danielle is amazing! She’s the best!"

One girl added, "She’s so beautiful and badass, she’s totally got my heart!"

Danielle remained calm and composed, unaffected by the words of others. Meanwhile, Emma stood off to the side, her face

white with rage. Originally, she’d hoped Danielle

would embarrass herself, but now it seemed she had

given her a chance to steal the spotlight instead.

Emma thought, ’That bitch is way too good at hiding her true strength.’

"I really didn’t expect Danielle to be this strong. She’s not only pretty, but she can actually fight too," Celine said, gazing at Danielle with stars in her eyes.

She’s so impressive.

Emma shot Celine a look, unable to hold back her annoyance. "I didn’t expect it either. But it’s the start of the semester, and she’s already trying to steal the spotlight. Does she think she can rely on David to back her up?"

Celine frowned and immediately defended Danielle. "I don’t think Danielle is the type to show off. She was practically forced into it by her classmates just now."

Emma grew more frustrated. This naïve Celine was actually defending Danielle? Did she not realize who her real friends were?

"Celine, I was just saying that casually. Let’s not waste our words on people who don’t matter," Emma snapped.

"I heard that next month, Giancarlo is celebrating his 80th birthday," Emma continued, changing the subject. "His dad called me yesterday, but we haven’t received an invitation yet."

"Yeah, I haven’t even figured out what to get him for his birthday," Celine responded.

Emma couldn’t help but feel irritated. ’Celine really has no sense of the situation. Shouldn’t she be inviting me instead of this Danielle?’
