novelxo Chapter 1103
Flora: Here we are, right by your lab.
As Flora and her friends were wandering around, a group of people approached them. They were all decked out in white lab coats with "Medical Organization" stitched across their chests. "Are those the folks from Austenberg?" the woman in the middle squinted her eyes.
"Yeah, sis, that's them. The one at the back, that's Flora. Mr. Atticus mentioned she's pretty full of herself, causing us a lot of trouble during the competition. It's thanks to them that our medical base didn't snag first place this time." Otherwise, it would have been us from the Medical Organization here today. We've been champions for years, and this is the first time we've slipped to third place. It's a real blow to our pride.
Kylie listened and let out a cold chuckle. "Susan's death has something to do with Flora, doesn't it?"
"Yep, that's her!"
While they were talking, the staff noticed them too and greeted them warmly. "Kylie."
Kylie had been at the medical base for four years. Two years ago, her outstanding performance earned her a spot to stay, nearly making her a mentor, She was one of the rare S-class students, with access the labs in the base. Her influence spread far and wide, even reaching the sons of some families on Lone Island. As a result, people in the
all
base treated her with great respect.
Kylie responded with a cool nod, but her eyes were locked on Flora across the crowd. "Kylie, where're you headed?" the staff asked, still smiling and oblivious to any tension.
"Kylie's heading to Senior Kruiz's lab," the woman next to Kylie answered, puffing up with pride as if she were the one going in.
On hearing this, everyone except Flora and Selene looked envious. The Austenberg team was full of admiration. The staff had mentioned that Kruiz's lab was off-limits unless you were an S-class student. Kylie was something else so young and already S-class. They'd be thrilled to be A-class, and getting into Kruiz's lab was beyond their wildest dreams.
Kylie stayed composed, used to such admiration since she was young. Her eyes still on Flora, she frowned when Flora didn't react. Flora's global champion reputation was so big that even before the new students started training, everyone was buzzing about her. It was almost stealing Kylie's spotlight, and she wasn't too happy about it. And now, Flora was acting like she didn't even notice her?
"Oh, Kylie, let me introduce you to the newbies," the staff finally caught on to where her focus was and cheerfully introduced everyone, explaining Kylie's status to Flora and the rest. "This is Senior Kylie. You can just call her Kylie," the staff gestured for Flora and the others to say hello. "Miss Kylie is an S-class student, quite the star around here. Even Mr. Kruiz has praised her."
Every year, Mr. Kruiz picked one student to be his protégé, and everyone was betting it would be Kylie. Hearing about her impressive credentials, everyone politely said, "Hello, Kylie." Selene didn't say anything. Neither did Flora.
