"I've decided to register. Please remember to save me a copy of the registration form," Yolanda replied.
Then, she turned to look at Skye. "I accept your challenge. What's the bet?"
Skye glared at Yolanda for a while before spitting out with much difficulty, "Are you seriously competing?"
"Of course."
"Okay."
To Skye, Yolanda wanting to compete with her felt like a personal insult. However, to teach Yolanda a lesson, she swallowed her anger.
"If you lose, not only will First Academy's Student Council give up all their sponsorship and internship opportunities to Zenith Academy, but you will also have to wear a sign that says, "I'm an ugly creature. I was foolish to overestimate myself." Then, you have to parade around in both our schools.
"On top of that, you'll also wear this sign every morning for a week as you act as gate supervisor at your school."
The bet was highly insulting and would directly impact the benefits of First Academy's students.
The moment Skye was done, the crowd around started to protest.
"No!"
"We don't accept this bet!"
On the other hand, Yolanda, the one directly involved, remained completely unfazed. She simply asked coldly, "What if you lose?"
"The same! Our school's sponsors and resources will be yours, and I'll be parading the streets with a sign that says "ugly creature."
Even though Skye had named her end of things, she didn't actually think that this punishment would ever apply to her at all.
Even if she wasn't the champion of the Crystal Queen Pageant. As long as she beat Yolanda, she would have won the bet.
She only needed to stand next to Yolanda without displaying any talents—she would have already won.
"Sure." Yolanda nodded. "See you in the competition."
