Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 63 I Remember You, Now See You Later

Upon hearing Hazel's words, Archer remained unfazed. He crossed his arms and calmly observed the white figure on the court. Violeta and Kaylee exchanged a high-five. "Kay, keep it up."

"Yeah!"

They trained every day for the sake of the league. Violeta gradually regained the feeling of her previous life, and Kaylee's tennis skills improved during training. Their coordination was flawless.

According to the league rules, the match consisted of five sets with three wins, and winning six games counted as one set. The tennis ball flew through the air at high speed, and every swing of the pink violet- colored racket carried a powerful momentum.

Before long, Violeta and Kaylee had already won five consecutive games. Their strength was truly remarkable, leaving the other league teams in awe.

"The women's doubles from Toland University are exceptionally fierce today."

"They are freshmen, right? I heard they are the strongest newcomers of this year..."

On the other side, Archer and the others watched this almost one-sided match. Hazel, who had always remained composed, looked at Violeta and Kaylee's performance and sneered. "They do have some skills."

The match will soon be over. Violeta and Kaylee, who were about to secure the victory, showed no signs of fatigue. Seeing this, Zelena, who was boiling with anger, couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on? Doesn't that woman feel any pain in her feet?"

Her voice caught the attention of another member of the tennis club. He turned his head and looked at Zelena, asking, "Zelena, what did you just say?"

Zelena closed her mouth shut. She didn't expect her words to be overheard! Zelena immediately changed her expression and smiled at him, saying, "Nolan, I didn't say anything. I said they played really well! They're definitely going to win this match!"

"Haha, indeed, Violeta and Kaylee were both amazing in this match!"

Tch.

Zelena lowered her face and rolled her eyes disdainfully.

Win the game? Heh...

Half an hour later, the women's doubles match concluded. Violeta and Kaylee won the match without any suspense and advanced to the afternoon finals. After the referee announced their victory, Kaylee happily embraced Violeta, who simply smiled faintly.

Members of the tennis club rushed over.

"Violeta, Kay! Well done!"

"I knew you wouldn't disappoint us!"

"That last shot was so impressive!"

Kaylee blushed and laughed, "Hahaha, you guys are too kind. Vio is the star player! I'm just there to support!"

Violeta put away her racket and walked to the water station to get some water. The senior logistics member happily handed her the water. Instead of leaving, Violeta stood in front of Zelena. "Zelena, you seem disappointed."

Zelena clenched her hand under the table, forced a smile, and said to Violeta, "Disappointed? Sis, your victory brings honor to the school. I'm just happy for you."

"Okay." Violeta twisted open the bottle cap and took a sip, her eyes glancing at Zelena with a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth. "Zelena, your methods are too basic."

Zelena's mouth trembled as she looked at Violeta in disbelief.

What does she mean...

Could it be, could it be that she knows there's something wrong with those shoes that I gave her?

No, it's impossible!

This woman is not a prophet, how could she possibly know that there's something wrong with those shoes?

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Violeta knew that she liked to pretend, so she shrugged nonchalantly. She then said to Zelena with a calm tone and a proud gaze.

"You should try something new, I'm looking forward to it."

With these words, Violeta picked up the tennis racket on the table, turned around, and left, leaving behind the silhouette of a champion.

Zelena gazed at her back, her fingernails digging into the palm of her hand.

What a joke, this woman dares to look down on her!

She was on the verge of exploding with anger!

Zelena raised her hand and forcefully slammed the basket of water in front of her, creating a loud bang.

The senior who was carrying water next to her was stunned when he witnessed Zelena losing control.

"Hey! Zelena! What's wrong with you?"

Without uttering a word, Zelena turned around and walked away.

The senior observed Zelena's departing figure, furrowing his brows and wondering, "Didn't I hear that she has epilepsy before? Could this be an epilepsy attack? But does an epilepsy attack look like this? It seems more like a fit of madness. It's really strange."

Violeta returned to her seat and sat down to rest.

She received numerous messages in the WhatsApp group and replied after successfully advancing to the finals.

Suddenly, a shadow cast over her head, and Violeta slowly raised her eyes to see two women standing in front of her. She recognized these individuals.

They were the Nelson sisters, twins from the Physical Education Institute!

Hazel had witnessed Violeta and Kaylee's match earlier and had come specifically to challenge her.

Hazel stood there, looking down at Violeta, and said fiercely, "Hey, your name is Violeta, right?"

"Don't think you're so great just because you won a match. I'll make you cry this afternoon!"

Violeta's finger paused on the screen, her expression also pausing for a second, and her gaze suddenly caught something. She smiled.

She pointed at the trendy necklace Hazel was wearing around her neck. Her eyes gleamed as she said, "Is that the marathon commemorative edition released by Leafitness last week that you're wearing? I didn't expect you to receive the reward so quickly! Impressive!"

Leafitness was a fitness app that rewarded users with various limited edition items as long as they burned calories through exercise.

These rewards didn't require money, but they held great significance!

Violeta was also participating in the marathon race released last week, hoping to obtain the commemorative necklace. She was genuinely excited about it!

"Huh?"

Hazel's arrogant demeanor instantly vanished.

She had initially come to challenge Violeta, but she didn't anticipate Violeta focusing on her necklace!

And, coincidentally, Hazel's biggest weakness was being praised by others!

Sure enough, after hearing Violeta's words, Hazel seemed to have broken free from her own constraints and became completely different from before.

Her cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness as she covered her face and said, "I'm not that impressive, don't say that, hahaha..."

Violeta's eyes sparkled, "Impressive!"

Hazel's face turned even redder, "Ahaha, no, I'm really embarrassed..."

In this peculiar scene, Nydia frowned beside them. What's wrong with these two idiots?

She raised her fist and hammered it on Hazel's head, shouting, "Get serious! You came here to challenge her!"

There it was!

The punishment from her older sister!

Hazel crouched down, holding her head, tears streaming down her face!

Then she realized she had been tricked. She squinted her eyes at Violeta. What a cunning woman!

Trying to lower my guard by praising me!

"Just you wait! I will definitely defeat you, Violeta!"

Violeta blinked at her and smiled in response, "I got it."

Hazel raised her voice again, "I will defeat you!"

Violeta grunted.

What's wrong with this woman?

I came here to challenge her, but there is no reaction at all!

At that moment, Nolan and the others approached. "Hey! you two, what are you guys doing?"

Nydia and Hazel glanced at them, then turned back to look at Violeta.

Hazel said very seriously, "Violeta, this isn't over. See you this afternoon!"
