Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 29 Extraordinary Strength, Just Getting Started

Should Violeta choose to wait until the club's recruitment gained momentum, the number of mostrations for the tennis clubs would likely nurije again. Of course I've mentioned this before-I don't believe in taking shortcuts

Zo tell a twinge of resentment Jas has never offered anyone a shortcut. Now that he wants to give you one, you're still not interested What a shame!" Violeta smiled and stayed silent:

In her previous life, Violeta had encountered ton many instances where others took shortcuts, pitening opportunities that should have been hers

So, even with this opportunity now, she refused to become the kind of person she used to despise

Jasper teased "No womnes, I see Vio so confident Maybe she possesses some absolutely extraordinary ability

Violeta blinked and replied dare not claim to have extraordinary ability. Em just a rookie Zoren said, "Alright, then we'll witness Vio's performance when the time comes. The five of them raised their glasses engaging in lively chatter

Originally Violeta was supposed to treat them to this meal, but when she went to pay, she discovered that Hayden had already settled the bill

This guy quietly achieved great things, and she had no clue when he paid

Violeta said to Hayden How about I add you as a friend and transfer the money to you?"

Despite being in the same small group Zoren added them all. However, privately, they werent Facebook Trends

Hayden respondent Sure

Violeta sent fam a trend request on Facebook, ball Hayden didn't immediately accept it

It was

chumusdintime,

undil Violet med home, took a shower, and lay in bed that she realized Hayden had already accept the friend request

Opening Isaydens profile of scrolled through He rarely posted updates, the last being on New Year's Fee last year a photo of fireworks at Frost Manor

Violet promptly transferred the money for tonight's meal to Fylon and dropped a casual Goodwgh message

After sanding it, she set her phone aside and drifted off to sleep

The following day marked the official commencement of classen.

Tuna's persistent howling reached Violeta even from a distance Unfortunately, taking it to school was out of the question, compelling her to ignore Tuna without a backward glance

On the bus, Violeta pulled out her phone and found Hayderis response to her Facebook message from the day before. He declined the money with just two words, "Goodnight." Violeta found it puzzling Hadn't they agreed to become friends on Facebook for the money exchange? He accepted the friend request but refused the money. What did it imply?

Lipon entering the classroom, Violeta occupied her customary back-row seat. Kaylee, sitting next to het held something in her hand and asked, "Violeta, didn't you participate in the lottery?"

"No

The top ten students in the assessment not only received a prize money but also a single-person dormitory, chosen through a lottery.

Despite having a quota, Violeta opted out of the lottery, choosing not to live in the dorm.

Kaylee said, "That's a pity. I wanted to be on the same floor as you. Don't you live in the dorm?"

Na

"Then where do you live if not in the dorm? Do you rent a house?"

Violeta wasn't in the mood to entertain Kaylee's questions

Unexpectedly, a few of Zelena's followers chimed in

"Oh, some people just can't help but flaunt. Even if they're not rich anymore, they still act all high and mighty"

"Getting first place in the assessment is just luck. They should be grateful for the single-person dormitory spot Pretending is just silly."

"Yeah, turning down such an amazing chance for a single-person dorm. She's probably renting a house, huh?"

"No princess fate, but for sure a princess complex! Take Lena, for instance; she's renting in the top-notch community near the school, paying tens of thousands monthly with a personal housekeeper. She must be renting some rundown place!

"Yeah, I can't understand why she keeps up with this act. It's disgusting!"

Violeta chose not to disclose whether she rented a house, yet they spun an entire narrative in

their minds

They even insinuated Violeta was emulating Zelena. How absurd!

Back on the mountain, violeta pad them no mind, treating them as if they didnt exist conserving energy and sidestecoing conflicts amidst the demanding training

Now that military training was behind her would she still enours their provocation? Penel

Violeta raised her hand, as if waning off a noxious scent Vegh Something smelis dreadful here

She shot a frigid glare at the individuals before her and retorted. "Your words are quite repulsive Did you forget to freener up your mouth after using the restroom?

They caught on that Viglets was indinuating they had foul mouths from eating she

violera, don't you dare to pull that on ust You're the one who eats sh

Talking about anyone who speaks sidely Vigless clarified

The group glared. "Why are you boasting about renting a house? Do you even have the right to eat wealty?

Violete looked at them in disbelief, dont remember ever daiming to be living in a rented Rousett

"Oh, come on Are you still presending? You're from Arlowand where would you live without a house? Maybe your parents are still supporting you financially its shameless to live off

It's someone edes ife for over a decade and still have the audacity to act arrogant if I were you I would be so ashamed that id contemplate ending it all by jumping off a building

Only someone as forgiving as Lena would still call you sister after pulling that stunt Viollets remarked, a hint of mockery in her voice Zelenas carefully crafted narrative had them all wrapped around her finger Ignoring the gases.
