Chapter 770: Chapter 770: A Hard Slap in the Face (4)

In this whole affair, Vera Xavier wasn’t the one who was most furious. They were.

Vera Xavier ran a hand over the weapon she was holding and found Nathaniel Nathan in the crowd. She refrained from any subtle gestures this time, as every eye was fixed on her. If she were to wink at him now, she’d surely be branded as indecent. ’And here she was, such a dignified person!’

After receiving approval from the assembled senior officials, the chief instructor of the participating universities announced loudly, "Begin!"

To ensure fairness, the competition would proceed one shot at a time. This way, everyone could see the results, leaving no room for cheating.

Vera Xavier shot first. Her score was quickly announced: A perfect ten!

Skylar Crowe also took her shot. She did well, scoring a nine, but she felt a strange sense of panic after hearing Vera’s result.

In truth, she had suspected all along that Vera Xavier’s scores couldn’t have been faked. She was simply unwilling to accept that Vera could be that good. Besides, she had already made the accusation and couldn’t take it back now. Her only choice was to double down and continue to smear Vera’s name.

A few of the senior officials nodded slightly. The university presidents who had questioned Vera’s scores were a little surprised, but they figured this was just the beginning. Perhaps Vera had just gotten lucky this time.

But in this world, so-called luck is just another form of strength, and Vera Xavier was about to use her strength to prove that her "luck" was indeed excellent.

In the following nine shots, she scored a perfect ten every single time.

As for Skylar Crowe, hearing Vera’s scores made her increasingly flustered. After her initial nine-point shot, her performance went downhill with every pull of the trigger. Her last few shots scored as low as a three and a four, and one bullet missed the target entirely!

When the final scores were posted, Skylar Crowe felt as if an invisible hand had just slapped her hard across the face.

Nathaniel Nathan spoke calmly to the officials, "The facts prove that this so-called cheating case was nothing more than the result of one petty girl’s jealousy."

His summary was spot-on. The president of Skylar Crowe’s academy looked grim.

The chief instructor of the participating universities stepped forward at the opportune moment. "That girl’s jealousy is truly excessive. She even slandered one of our own instructors. There’s another detail I must report to the leadership: her character is utterly deplorable."

He didn’t spell everything out, but his emphasis on the word "character" was enough to pass a final judgment on Skylar Crowe’s moral fiber. Everyone knew that besides the cheating accusation, Skylar had said other things she shouldn’t have—things so foul they couldn’t be repeated in front of the officials.

The chief instructor of Skylar Crowe’s academy looked just as grim. He decided to withdraw her from all subsequent competitions. Even if she had displayed extraordinary skill during military training, the two-word assessment—"poor character"—was enough to destroy all of her future prospects. A person like that was unworthy of competing any further.

The chief instructor told Skylar Crowe’s own instructor to deliver the news.

Skylar’s instructor walked right up to her and said, "You’re out of the rest of the competition. Fall in!"

Skylar could be blunt, but even she understood what it meant to be disqualified from all subsequent competitions at this stage. The color drained from her face, leaving it deathly pale.
