This was the first time the referees had asked about a specific
contestant’s situation.
Their love for this athlete is evident.
Hearing them looking for her, Juliette quickly stood up and said, “It’s
me.”
She held her head high, chest out, extremely proud.
Several judges turned their heads in confusion and stared at Juliette, hesitating to speak, “Is this… you?”
The voice sounded slightly skeptical, but Juliette didn’t detect any hidden meaning. She just asked in confusion, “Of course it was me who played the game. Isn’t my name written on the list next to ‘red team the center“?”
Her answer left the faces of the judges filled with disbelief, even those who had previously praised her had now changed their expressions.
The first time, several referees whispered to each other, not knowing what they were talking about.
A moment later, one of them looked up.
“Since it’s your game… then you tell me, where is the key skill point of your strike?”
The referee had a sharp gaze, full of energy in his words, and exuded an indescribable sense of authority.

“This…”
The sudden question left Juliette completely bewildered. She couldn’t answer at all, and with her level, she couldn’t possibly come up with such a brilliant strike.
“That… um…”

No one expected that it would be another voice that answered.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fiorella. standing there, calmly responding.
One of the coaches‘ eyes lit up when he saw Fiorella.
He walked quickly up to Fiorella and spoke with some excitement.
“Long time no see.”

“I heard that you came to this school. The sports and arts festival just happened to invite us to watch. I was also wondering if you would participate. If not, I will find a way to come and say hello to you later. I won’t hide it from you, if I hadn’t heard that you were here, we
wouldn’t have come, hehe.”
Mr. Shaffer chuckled and bantered with Fiorella.
Fiorella also chatted and laughed with him without fear: “I am really flattered. How could I have such a great honor? It must be because the school has so many talented people that you are willing to come. I am just a side note.”
The two of them were talking back and forth, looking like they had known each other for a long time, and the surrounding classmates were all stunned!
“Who is that classmate? How come she was chatting with people from the Sports Association?”
“She was a new transfer student, named…Fiorella?”
“Fiorella? Never heard of this person, what’s the story?”
“I don’t know either.
Classmates were talking excitedly, all the surprise written on their faces, even Jamila couldn’t control her expression…
What on earth is going on?
How could Fiorella have known such a powerful person?
