“Why? They’re doing well right now. They’re faster than Team 2 in the first two stages!” Daniel questioned with a puzzled expression.
At this rate, Team 5 would definitely make it through.
Carlisle smiled faintly. “Just a guess.”
Daniel’s eyes twinkled with mischief. “Since we’re idling here, how about a bet?”
Carlisle turned to Daniel. “Sure, what do you want to bet on?”
Daniel thought for a moment and said, “I’ll bet you 100 dollars that they’ll definitely complete the mission!”
He glanced at the field again. Wanda was almost through the fourth stage, and he felt much more confident.
Carlisle smirked. “Alright, if I win, I don’t want your 100 dollars. Just give me your meat stew at lunch.”
“A gentleman’s word is his bond!” Daniel agreed without hesitation.
Harvey who had been exercising nearby, suddenly said, “Carlisle, I want to bet too!”
Harvey was Queenie’s cousin, and he knew Wanda well.
Zachary took Queenie and Wanda for outdoor training every summer and winter. He was unsure about Ruby but confident in Wanda’s ability to lead Class 2 to victory.
“Alright, let’s bet!” Carlisle agreed.
Harvey asked, “Same rules as Daniel’s? Lunch if I lose, cash if you lose?”
Carlisle smiled faintly. “I’m fine with that. It’s up to you.”
A smirk crossed Harvey’s face. “You’re going to lose for sure. Just make sure you keep your word.”
Daniel shot Harvey a glance. “Harvey, be more respectful toward Carlisle. He has plenty of–Ow, damn!”
Before he could finish, Carlisle had kicked him off the parallel bars.
Marcus rubbed his hands together as he approached Carlisle. “Carlisle, I want to bet too.”
As Harvey’s friend, he saw an easy opportunity to win some money. Betting some lunch against 100 dollars seemed like a sure win.
Carlisle nodded with a smile. “Sure, I’ll bet with you.”
With this, more students gathered around, eager to place their bets.
However, Carlisle refused to bet 100 dollars against lunch with the others. He would only bet 100 dollars against 100 dollars. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
The reason for this was simple. Three bowls of meat stew were enough to share with Wanda, Christine
and Phoebe.
At this point, Team 5 had successfully reached the fourth stage.
The fourth stage required climbing over a 500–foot–high barrier made of sandbags.

Wanda merged her two groups. After a quick discussion, she decided to leave four people behind to provide cover fire from the sides of the sandbags. Christine and Phoebe each selected a teammate to stay as well.
Wanda led the rest of the team to crouch low, and they ran toward the trench from multiple directions.
Meanwhile, Ruby led her team in a charge.
Their strategy was to have half of the group lay down suppressive fire whenever the opposition showed themselves.
The staff threw two smoke grenades and then started launching paint rockets.
Wanda immediately shouted, “Incoming fire from the north! Everyone, take cover!”
The Class 2 girls quickly scattered.
Ruby also warned, “Northeast, be careful!”
Half of her group reacted quickly, dodging the incoming paint rockets.
Soon, both groups reached the sandbags.
Once they climbed over, they would reach the fifth stage. Victory was within sight.
Seeing that Wanda’s team was already starting to climb the sandbags, Ruby narrowed her eyes and
whispered, “We can’t let them get ahead. Let’s overtake them.”
The narrow sandbag path only allowed four people at once. Unwilling to fall behind, Ruby decided to play
dirty.
Tiffany hesitantly said, “Mr. Hanson will punish us if he sees this!”
Ruby’s eyes darted around before she smirked. “You go kick the smoke grenade over here.”
Tiffany shook her head fearfully.
