Kenneth snapped out of his daze, his expression filled with disdain. “Good riddance!”
‘Not like | wanted this engagement anyway, Kenneth thought, rolling his eyes internally at Sandra’s words.
However, Tiffany remained unfazed, her eyes still calmly fixed on her book as if his presence was of no
consequence.
Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the start of class. The noise in the classroom quieted down, except for
Ged Moody, the boy who was punching and still bleeding from his nose.
After getting permission to go home, Ged threw a parting shot at Tiffany, “If you've got the guts, meetat the

The Nocturne Arena was the largest underground competition and betting in Lovell

Tiffany knew Ged was trying to humiliate her further, and while she initially had no intention of indulging him,
she realized speople needed to be put in their place.
“Sure,” Tiffany replied casually, confident that taking down an arrogant fool like Ged would be no challenge.
And just like that, the bet was set, sending a wave of excitement through the entire class.
“Tiffany is setting herself up for embarrassment!” one of the classmates said.
“Or maybe she’s trying to get Kenneth'’s attention by doing this?” another replied.
“Whatever it is, I'm going to watch it too. It'll be great to record how badly Tiffany gets humiliated. | can’t wait!”
the other classmate said.
Amid the chatter, Sandra approached Kenneth with feigned concern. “Kenneth, are you going? You could step in
if Tiffany gets bullied.”
“I'm not going,” Kenneth replied dismissively. His disdain for Tiffany was so deep that even her ntriggered a
reflexive aversion.
Hearing his firm reply, Sandra couldn’t hide her secret delight. As the school day ended, nearly the entire class

After taking a beating earlier, Ged had brainstormed the most malicious ideas and selected the toughest
challenge imaginable. ‘Can Tiffany handle this? She'll probably end up crying and embarrassing herself even
more, he thought with a smirk.
When Tiffany arrived at the Nocturne Arena, she found Ged waiting for her, with a sly grin plastered across his
face. “So, Tiffany, are you ready for the challenge I've prepared just for you?” he taunted, gesturing toward the
archery range, which was renowned as one of the most demanding competitions the arena had to offer.
Tiffany eyed the bows and targets before returning Ged’s gaze with a knowing smile. “Are you sure this is what
you want?” she asked calmly.
Unfazed, Tiffany’s smile widened ever so slightly. ‘He has no idea I've been practicing archery since | was eight.

Mistaking her confidence for hesitation, Ged let out a mocking laugh. “What's the matter? Getting cold feet

“Tiffany is really in big trouble this time!” another exclaimed.
“This punishment is brutal! She'll never live it down!” a third chimed in.
The archery challenge was all about target scores. Smirking, Ged tried to appear generous. ‘I'll give you a head

Ged'’s face turned red with anger. “You ungrateful brat! Don’t ccrying when this gets ugly!”
Before the challenge began, the crowd organized a betting pool. Nearly everyone placed. their money on Ged to
win. Only one person bet on Tiffany out of pity rather than confidence.
Finally, Ged let his first arrow fly, and he scored six points-a decent start.
His friends erupted in cheers. “Go, Ged! It's all on you if we're going to see a beauty dance!”
Ged'’s second shot hit the eight-point ring, boosting his confidence. His face flushed with excitement as he
