He spoke and handed a list to Charlotte.
Charlotte took it smoothly.
She glanced at it.
In this school festival, in the second-year girls' group, a total of 48 students have registered for the karate competition.
Most of the girls are green belt or higher.
rate ranks are based on the color of the belts.
White, yellow, green, blue, red, brown, black.
White belt is the most basic, and black belt is the highest.
Among the 48 participants, only Charlotte is a white belt!
That's right, Hans had specifically asked her about her belt level when they signed up.
Charlotte chose the white belt.
At that time, Hans was astonished, almost dropping his jaw, and immediately advised her to withdraw. After all, going to the school festival karate arena with a white belt would only lead to a severe beating! Charlotte, of course, didn't withdraw.
Now that the groups have been announced, her opponent for the first round is a not-so-strong green belt contestant. Presumably, the school didn't arrange a strong opponent for her, considering how inadequate a white belt seemed... Charlotte looked up-
At the top of the list was a very familiar name.
Victoria
Third-degree black belt.
She had the highest rank among all the participants.
The reason Charlotte knew her was because Victoria was the second on the genius ranking list of the second year.
That's right, she was second in the entire second year, one of the super geniuses in the Starlight class.
Charlotte had heard her name many times, but she didn't expect to encounter this prominent figure on the school festival's karate arena.
"Charlotte, the karate arena is filled with experts. Wishing you the best of luck," Hans shook his head, looking at her with a sympathetic expression. Charlotte smiled faintly and responded, "I know."
As class time approached, the seat next to Charlotte was still empty.
Karl had not arrived.
What could have happened to him....
Charlotte was puzzled, and just then, the class teacher mentioned Karl incidentally-
As it turned out, Karl had taken sick leave and couldn't attend class.

Was he sick?...
Karl was an orphan.
He had no parents, and few relatives, spending most of his time alone,
If he was sick, could he take care of himself?
Charlotte glanced at the vacant seat beside her, furrowing her brow, lost in thought.
"Students, our annual West Princeton Academy school festival begins today, so there are no classes scheduled for the next two days. For those who have registered for the competitions, we hope you perform well. For those who are here as spectators, please prioritize safety, the class teacher stood at the podium, calmly outlining the guidelines for the school festival.
ter she finished, many students immediately stood up with excitement and rushed outside the classroom.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating the performances at the school festival
In the regular classes, most students didn't have the courage to participate in the festival's competitions. After all, there were too many geniuses in the Starlight class and the Rocket class. If they joined, they would just be cannon fodder, Moreover, students in the regular classes were mostly indifferent and not ambitious in terms of ranking.
Unlike the Starlight class and the Rocket class, where the pressure was high - either they progressed or regressed. Failing to gain points in the school festival could lead to being surpassed by others and a decline in ranking.
So, every school festival, the prodigies from the Starlight class and the Rocket class would actively participate, which made other students excited, as spectators.
Earlier, Charlotte had received the notification for the karate arena competition, which was scheduled to take place at the central square of the campus.
Here, this is the area with the highest foot traffic.
She sat in the classroom for a while and then headed alone to the central square.
The waiting area of the central square.
Many girls in white martial arts uniforms were standing there, chatting and laughing with each other.
They seemed to know each other, and Charlotte was the only one who felt out of place.
After all, as a transfer student, she didn't have many friends at this school.
"Student, why aren't you wearing a martial arts uniform?" The teacher in charge of the karate arena competition, a middle-aged man wearing glas
frowned and looked at Charlotte in confusion.
Most students who came to compete had their own martial arts uniforms, as it was more convenient and they were more accustomed to wearing th ones they used for regular training. Only Charlotte had come in her regular school uniform. Once the teacher brought this up, the other participants stopped chatting and looked at Charlotte with curious and mocking gazes.
Someone had actually come without wearing a martial arts uniform? This was unheard of.
Observing, scrutiny, amusement, mockery... Various looks were fixed on Charlotte.
Charlotte remained unperturbed and responded with a neutral expression, "It's my first time participating, and I'm not familiar with the procedur
Moreover, Charlotte didn't have a martial arts uniform for karate.
Karate... She hadn't touched it in ages, so naturally, she didn't have a uniform either.
The teacher sighed and furrowed his brow, a bit perplexed, "Well, we don't have any spare martial arts uniforms here..."
"I have an extra one."

Chapter 106: School Festival Begins
Suddenly, a clear and pleasant female voice came from the doorway.
Charlotte and others couldn't help but turn in the direction of the sound.
At the entrance to the waiting area, stood a tall and pure looking girl.
She was dressed in a snow white martial arts uniform, with a noticeable black belt tied around her waist.
She was a black belt contestant!
"Victoria Adamson?" Someone recognized her, excitedly grabbing a friend's hand and exclaimed, "It's Victoria!" That's right, the person was indeed Victoria.
cend on the West Princeton genius ranking, a super genius in the Starlight class!
In West Princeton, strength was everything.
No matter how good-looking or wealthy someone was, they couldn't compare to being a genius who was adored.
Those with strength were the most dazzling stars in West Princeton.
So, when Victoria made her appearance, the entire venue nearly erupted.
Normally, they didn't have a chance to see such a prominent figure like Victoria!
"It really is Victoria. Not only is she talented, but she also looks so stunning," someone widened their eyes, astonished and admiring at the same time.
"Victoria has probably already secured the championship, who can defeat her..."
"So excited, I've heard so much about her, and now I finally get to meet her in person!"
"I hope I can make it to the finals
compete against Victoria. It feels like I'm dreaming, haha..."
"With Victoria here, I guess there's hardly any suspense for the championship."
Victoria seemed accustomed to this kind of attention from the masses; her expression remained composed and indifferent, devoid of any fluctuation.
Passing through the chattering crowd, she walked up to the teacher and Charlotte.
"The physique of this student is similar to
mine. She can borrow my martial arts uniform," she said calmly, her face still showing no emotion.
even beginning to flatter Victoria, "Victoria, you have a kind heart..."
Upon hearing this, the teacher's face lit up with joy,
However, Victoria didn't pay attention to the teacher. She casually glanced at Charlotte and asked, "What rank are you? I have belts of all colors, I ca lend you one." Charlotte met Victoria's gaze and calmly responded, "White belt."
Her voice was not loud, but everyone around pricked their ears, attentively listening to her conversation with Victoria.
This "white belt" naturally fell into the ears of many.
