This competition was the most heavily weighted and prestigious academic tournament among the world's top universities.
Not only did it offer massive prize money, but it also awarded the most highly respected medals.
More importantly, it offered the winners a chance to intern at the world's most elite laboratories.
For this group of top-tier geniuses.
This was their golden ticket to the big leagues.
The Vanguard Honors Program had been specifically assembled in preparation for this exact tournament.
They were all the hand-picked representatives chosen to fight for the university's glory.
The moment the announcement came down.
The entire Vanguard class completely forgot about Serena, completely consumed by buzzing excitement.
"It's finally here! I've been waiting for this competition for so long!"
"I'm definitely taking home a medal this time!"
"Marington College is always number one!"
"Isabella, you're our top contender for the championship! You have to lead the charge!"
"..."
Listening to the students' feverish chatter.
Mr. Ashwell smiled warmly, waving Caleb over to hand out the registration forms.
"These are the entry forms for the Global Elite Challenge. The competition is split into two rounds. The first is the team division, and the second is the individual division. You are free to form your own teams based on your individual strengths."
"Before you finalize your teams, I want everyone to think carefully. This is Marington College's most critical competition of the year, and every single one of you must take it seriously."
"The team division requires groups of three to five people. You only get a shot at the individual division if you clear the team round."
"The Class President will distribute the forms. Once you've filled them out, submit your rosters to me by Friday. No late entries will be accepted."
Caleb started handing out the forms from the front row.
Every student who received a sheet beamed with excitement, eagerly rubbing their hands together.
Passionate discussions about team formations immediately broke out.
