In the end, Tia fell asleep with worry.

The next morning, Tia woke up feeling unwell, after all, she had nightmares all night.

But considering that she had a meeting in the afternoon, she washed her face with cold water to keep herself awake, and then went out to collect information.

When it was time for lunch at noon, Tia ate a little bit, then found an empty classroom and distributed the meeting place to everyone.

She took the chalk and began to write on the blackboard the information she had collected.

"You're not afraid of falling when you step so high." Gisele knew that Tia would come early, so she had lunch early. When she saw the news and rushed over, she saw Tia standing on a stool and writing on the blackboard.

"It's because I'm not tall enough, there's nothing I can do."

"Forget it, you come down and let me go up to write." Giselle was frightened when she saw Tia was still a little sleepy.

Tia was indeed sleepy, and Giselle's help with writing allowed her to rest for a while.

"Just lie down and take a nap for a while. They'll probably be here for a while. I'll call you when they come."

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night."

"It's okay, take a break and then we can discuss the ideas together later to make them clearer." Gisele took the chalk and paper from Tia's hand, then helped Tia get down from the stool.

Tia didn't resist and found a corner to lie down and rest for a while.

The second person to come was Fina. As soon as she opened the door, she wanted to find Tia. She saw Tia lying quietly in the corner. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Gisele pointing at the blackboard.

Written in the corner of the blackboard was: Tia didn't get enough rest last night, let her get some sleep.

Fina quieted down and took another piece of chalk to add what she knew where Giselle had written.

An hour and a half later, Tia woke up in a daze. Everyone was already there, and Pierre, who arrived last, made some final additions on the blackboard.

"Sorry to bother everyone."

"It's okay. I've only been here half an hour." Pierre put down the chalk and sat back down. "Everyone knows everything now."

"Then everyone, please watch it for ten minutes first, and then tell us what you think." After saying this, Tia went out to wash her face with cold water and hurried back, scanning the book at a glance.

Fortunately, she had a photographic memory. After looking through it once, she knew what she was missing. She asked Giselle to get her things back and then replenished them.

"Now let me tell you what I'm thinking..."

Everyone expressed their opinions throughout the meeting, and finally a basic operational strategy was decided.

"That's all for today! If you have anything else to add, please let us know in the group chat. Shall we go have dinner together?"

Tia closed the notebook, looked at everyone who was getting a little discouraged by the discussion, and then comforted everyone.

"It's okay, as long as we try our best, success or failure doesn't mean anything, and we shouldn't let first place in the first game become a shackle on us.

We can't improve overnight, so we should just keep a calm mindset. This competition is just a test of our abilities."

"Oh, I'm really worried that I'll run into them too early."

"Don't worry, there's no point in worrying."

"Now let's go eat."

"Let's go!"

The group went to the cafeteria and found that everyone was eating in groups. However, they went to the cafeteria for grades three and four together, which made them an outlier in the cafeteria.

After everyone ordered and prepared to eat, while waiting for the food, they saw a man stopping a group of people.

The man standing there seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops, making the group of people unable to move freely.

"If you don't want anything to happen to your family, or if you want to go to school here safely, you'd better do what I say."

The arrogant tone and threatening words made Tia think of what Joel reminded her yesterday.

If these people are not strong enough, they will not be able to enter the team competition. However, if they bribe a team, the most they can do is to cause one team to withdraw from the competition or the other team to be injured, which will not have much effect.

Moreover, when facing higher-ranking nobles, they may also need to consider whether they will be retaliated against twice as much.

Therefore, it is essentially a form of bullying that picks on the weak and fears the strong.

This situation happened in public, everyone was still eating and laughing, and no one cared, which is enough to show that this has become a normal thing.

"Are you looking over there?" Giselle's voice floated from a distance and gradually became more real.

Tia came back to her senses and looked at Gisai, not understanding why Gisai asked that. "Yeah."

"This kind of thing is very common. There shouldn't be a single high-ranking noble in their team, otherwise they wouldn't be embarrassed so publicly."

Gisai spoke calmly, even somewhat disdainfully for that person's lack of brains to dare to form a team without the protection of high-ranking nobles.

Tia looked at Giselle in a daze, as she seemed to have changed her appearance.

This doesn't sound like something Giselle would say...

"But isn't it a kind of freedom to team up with whomever you want?"

"Only those with ability are qualified to talk about freedom. If you don't have the ability but still want to be the first to stand out, you won't be afraid of being crushed by the wind."

Gisai said angrily, feeling a little emotional.

Everyone realized that something was wrong with Giselle, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions. The meeting is over now, and since there's nothing else important, I'm leaving now."

After Giselle finished speaking, she left without waiting for anyone else to speak. Before anyone could react, all that was left was her back.

The sudden change made everyone look at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this time, the waiters also started to serve the dishes one after another.

"Everyone, let's eat first. Pierre, I remember you and Gisai live in the same dormitory. We can order some new dishes later and take them back for Gisai."

Seeing that no one was eating, Tia spoke first to break the deadlock.

"Okay, I'll bring something back for him later. Let's eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Then let's eat quickly so Giselle won't have to wait too long."

One person started eating first, and the others followed suit, starting some topics and chatting about happy things to avoid making the dining atmosphere too dull.

After dinner, everyone went back to rest, and Pierre brought dinner to Giselle.

It was still early, but Tia's mood was unclear.

Gisai is not an emotionally unstable person, but he just reacted so strongly. Now we are all first graders, it is impossible for him to have experienced such a thing.

Combined with his clothing, it is very likely that someone in his family had attended this school and had encountered this incident.
