Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 70 Let's Have A Competition "It would be even better if I could becan actor at the Millennium Grand Theater!" Kaylee began to daydream.

Violeta said, "Go for it. The Millennium Grand Theater recruits new talents from Toland University every year." "Yeah, then I'll head back now. Goodbye, and Seniors!" After bidding them farewell, Kaylee hurriedly crossed the street to catch a bus home.

If she wanted to join the Millennium Grand Theater as a stage actor, Violeta could help her.

However, Violeta didn't immediately offer her assistance. Instead, she wanted Kaylee to improve her skills through her own efforts.

Many people aspire to enter the Millennium Grand Theater every year, but only a few are accepted. The competition is fierce.

If Kaylee meets professional standards but lacks connections, then Violeta can certainly lend her a hand.

If Kaylee's skills are not up to par, she won't push her forward.

She should leave this opportunity to someone else.

"Vio, shall I give you a ride home?" Zoren was about to speak but was interrupted by Jasper's punch. He quickly changed his words, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Let our dear friend, Hayden, take you home!" Violeta was speechless.

"Hayden, I'm leaving in your hands! Make sure to safely take her home." The three of them quickly drove away, leaving only Violeta with Hayden.

Violeta was slightly startled. She sighed and turned to look at Hayden.

She asked, "Where's your car?" As they were speaking, the driver arrived and opened the car door. Violeta was just about to get in.

Hayden's clear voice cfrom behind.

"Sit in the back." "Oh, okay..." Violeta turned on her tiptoes and sat in the back, next to Hayden.

After dropping off Violeta in front of her house, Hayden rolled down the car window. His dark eyes fixed on her, and he said, "Goodnight." "Goodnight." Violeta waved at him and then turned to enter the house.

Hayden watched her go inside before instructing the driver to leave.

The next day, they arrived at school.

The instructor announced the preparations for the school's Moon Festival and encouraged everyone to sign up for the performances.

Violeta sat in the back row, resting her chin on one hand and twirling a pen with the other.

Many students in the front row began to discuss it excitedly.

"I watched the previous Moon Festival dance performance by the dance club on the forum. It was amazing! Their street dance was so good, very captivating." "Every performance by the dance club is excellent. They have been the champions for many years in a row." "Yes! Lena is in the dance club. Lena, can you give us a hint about what performance the dance club is preparing for this year?" "Yeah, tell us..." Zelena instantly becthe center of attention in the class. She shyly covered her face and said, "Please don't askanymore. The club hasn't decided on the performance yet, but it will most likely be a dance performance. We won't disappoint everyone." Kaylee in the back row rolled her eyes and commented, "Such an arrogant person." "If it weren't for our club slacking off every year, they wouldn't have a chance." After the argument with the members of the dance club on the bus last time, Kaylee's fondness for the group plummeted to negative levels.

The two clubs already had a bad relationship. Now, Kaylee considers the dance club her archenemy.

Violeta remained silent, quietly packing up her books and preparing for the end of class.

As the bell rang, Violeta and Kaylee prepared to leave the classroom for their tennis club. Just as they walked out of the classroom door, they heard a few sarcastic voices from behind.

Candy said, "I don't think the tennis club should participate in the Moon Festival. It's so embarrassing. They always make fools of themselves on stage." Gillian added, "They never have any impressive performances. They're like clowns." Candy continued, "I watched last year's recording. What were they even doing on stage? It was laughable!" Zelena responded, "Oh, please don't say that, and don't speak so loudly. It wouldn't be good if Sis heard!" Violeta and Kaylee turned around, their eyes icy and indifferent as they looked at them.

Kaylee asked, "Are you saying this for us to hear? Con, we're right in front of you. Say it now!" Gillian and Candy's expressions froze.

Gillian replied, "Kaylee, did we mention you by name? What's with this attitude? Just mind your own business! We can say whatever we want. It's none of your concern!" Candy added, "Besides, did we say anything wrong? When has the tennis club ever outperformed the dance club in the Moon Festival?" Kaylee lowered her gaze and said loudly, "We don't bother arguing with the dance club! They can only rely on their rankings in scampus activities! If they have the ability, they should participate in external competitions and bring glory to the school!" At that moment, the classroom was still filled with many people. Kaylee's loud voice instantly attracted the attention of others.

Zelena took the opportunity to quickly step forward and play the role of a peacemaker.

"Stop it, everyone. Every club has its strengths. Actually, I wanted Sis to join the dance club with me, considering her lack of coordination. Oh, I mean, she doesn't know how to dance, so I gave up on that idea." What? Did Zelena just imply that Violeta lacks coordination? The people in the classroom exchanged glances and began to whisper.

"So Violeta lacks coordination. It's such a shto have such a beautiful face." Originally, it was a matter between clubs, unrelated to individuals.

But now, Zelena has shifted the focus of the conversation to Violeta.

Violeta narrowed her eyes, and her rosy lips slowly parted. "Zeleng, every y tI try to see you as a decent I person, can you try to act a little more like one?" Zelena, feeling wronged, took a step forward and grabbed Violeta's arm. She said, "Sis, I'm sorry. You can scold me. I didn't mean to bring this up." Violeta felt extrdisgust as she looked at Zelena and said, "I don't like to insult people. Usually, I prefer to use my hands." As she finished speaking, Violeta raised her hand and pushed Zelena to the ground. Zelena fell heavily on her backside and was stunned! "Ouch!" "I don't appreciate trash touching me," Violeta said.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected Violeta to take action.

Isn't she audacious? Candy and Gillian rushed forward to help Zelena, who was on the ground. "Are you okay, Lena?" "Everyone saw it! Violeta physically attacked someone!"

Kaylee looked at them with a dumbfounded expression and asked, "Are you two out of yo@munds?!\\ Zelena deserved it, and besides, she's not fragile. What's the big deal if she gets pushed? Violeta is being kind by not slapping her." The two stood at the doorway, looking down at Zelena, Candy, and Gillian.

"The dance club won't be in first place in the Moon Festival this year." "If not the Dance Club, then is it your tennis club?" "You got it right. It's the tennis club. If you don't believe it, let's have a competition."

Zelena clenched her fists. A sinister look was hidden beneath her dark lashes, and she said "Don't be ridiculous, Sis. Does the tennis club have any outstanding performances?" Violeta smirked. "Well, let's wait and see."
