Chapter 619
As they walked across campus, Leah looked over at Mira. “Do you think they’ll sabotage our clothes p>
“I’m not worried about her ruining them. I’m counting on it p>
Mira looked utterly unbothered, her confidence absolute.
“Why p>
“You’ll see when the time comes p>
The moment they stepped into the bustling cafeteria, Elara flagged them down. “Over here! I saved us a table p>
“Thanks p>
The dining hall was always a madhouse during peak lunch hours. It wasn’t uncommon for students to get their plates and have nowhere to sit.
Elara smiled. “Since you two had to take turns in the shower, I figured it would take a while. I just came straight here after I finished mine p>
The cafeteria was currently a sea of camouflage. Clearly, most of the students had prioritized eating over showering.
Back at the dorm, Vanessa was busy stopping Jillian from tearing into Mira and Leah’s uniforms.
“Drop the petty games. There are only four of us in this room. If their clothes get ruined, who else are they going to blame?
They’d march right to the instructor with the shredded uniforms, file a complaint, and get out of the afternoon drills. It’s a two-for-one deal for them p>
“So what do we do, then p>
Jillian couldn’t stomach the humiliation.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold. We’ll have plenty of chances later.
You’ve worked hard lately. I’ll take you out this weekend to expand your horizons and introduce you to some high-society friends p>
Vanessa was well aware that Jillian’s unhinged behavior was a direct result of her own subtle manipulations. Ultimately, Jillian was acting as her attack dog.
“Really p>
Her entire reason for kissing up to Vanessa was to use her connections to climb the social ladder.
If she could secure a wealthy, influential boyfriend out of it, all her groveling would finally pay off.
“Alright, go shower. We don’t have much time left p>
No one pulled any stunts during the afternoon session, but the instructor couldn’t help noticing that Mira’s physical stamina seemed to eclipse even his own.
Hours later, the students were parched and overheated, panting heavily. Even Instructor Vance was feeling the burn.
Yet Mira remained completely unfazed. Her breathing was as steady as if she were taking a casual stroll.
Harvey and two other guys with martial arts backgrounds were faring slightly better than the rest, but they were still struggling.
“Mira, if you’re ever interested in enlisting, I’d be happy to write you a recommendation.
With your physical stats, you could easily get into The National Military Academy. They offer computer science degrees too. You’d graduate with a solid commission and a highly respected rank p>
“I appreciate the thought, Instructor Vance.
I’m perfectly willing to serve my country, just on a different battlefield p>
A few nearby students nodded in agreement. “Yeah, exactly. We’ll all be contributing
to the nation in our own respective careers p>
“Of course, it was just a suggestion.
It’s just a damn shame to see physical capabilities like yours go unused in the military p>
Mira offered a polite smile and walked away.
Once the afternoon session
wrapped up, Mira, Leah, and Elara were heading back to their dorm when a guy suddenly jogged up to them. “Hey, Mira. Can I get your number p>
“Sorry, my contacts list is full p>
Mira delivered the rejection smoothly, never once breaking her stride.
The guy stood there, wide-eyed, watching them disappear into the distance.
“He’s not in our class,” Elara noted.
“He was gorgeous, though. Seriously, Mira, you weren’t tempted at all p>
Leah sounded a little disappointed.
“Please, Mira is surrounded by handsome men all the time p>
Elara rolled her eyes.
“Wait, really p>
“Obviously. She has four older brothers, and each one is better-looking than the last.
