Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 203 The Spring Blossom

The largest base of the biker gang was completely taken down!

If this didn't involve Hayden, Violeta wouldn't believe it, no matter how hard anyone tried to convince her.

But it was good that it was taken down. Moon Bay often had incidents, and being sealed off could save a few

lives in the future.

The other news was that the husband of the famous performing and dancing artist Vivian Montclair was accused

of attempted molestation and taken away by the police. Both of these explosive news stories the whole nation

was talking about had Violeta's involvement.

She even went to the scene to see the action herself!

The weekend finally arrived, and the college competition semifinals were about to begin.

The semifinals were held in a sports arena, and all the teams winning in the preliminary round in Quinston would

be reshuffled and matched with opponents.

In the afternoon, the matchup list for the semifinals was posted on the official website.

Violeta logged in to the website and saw 'The Mighty Dragons' vs. 'The Spring Blossom".

The Spring Blossom' was made up entirely of girls from the neighbouring nursing school.

There were very few all-girls teams in the college competition, so when Violeta saw that 'The Spring Blossom’

was all girls, she was pretty happy.

It proved that esports weren't just for men; women could excel too.

However, it was unfortunate for them that they were up against Violeta's team. Violeta had no intention of going

easy on them just because they were girls. Her goal was to win the championship! After the list was posted,

Zelena and Hattie also checked the matchups. Their team was up against students from the sports school, a

strong team.

When they saw Violeta's team was matched against an all-girls team, they couldn't help but mock, "Violeta's

luck is really something!"

They initially thought 'The Spring Blossom" would be weak.

But things didn't turn out the way they expected.

After the semifinal list was posted, the forum started analysing the overall strength of the other schools.

Especially the opponents of 'The Mighty Dragons' for this round.

During the preliminary round, 'The Mighty Dragons' was the first team from Toland University to win, defeating

other teams with overwhelming strength. So naturally, this time, Violeta's team's opponents becthe focus of

the entire school's attention.

Someone on the forum started digging into the 'The Spring Blossom' background and even went to other schools

to gather information.

What they found out was astonishing.

It turned out that the five girls in 'The Spring Blossom" were all incredibly skilled!

All of them are top players on the national leaderboard. Their captain, Evelyn, even served in an esports club,

which speaks volumes about her skills. She also founded her own gaming buddy centre. In the gaming buddy

centre, all the members are girls and skilled gaming buddies.

Except for Evelyn, all the members of ‘The Spring Blossom' are gaming buddies from the gaming buddy centre.

They are skilled in both gaming prowess and charming charisma. They're like all-rounders, adept at being

adorable and fierce in battle.

So, this team is all girls! They're not weak at all; they're really strong.

They've been winning school tournaments decisively.

The forum exploded with discussion.

Wow, that's incredible!

| hired 'The Spring Blossom' as a gaming buddy before. But | didn't know it was them! They're really good, but

expensive too.

In the market, female gaming buddies charge more than male ones, especially highly skilled ones. So their rates

were relatively high.

However, the quality of the 'The Spring Blossom' gaming buddy team was exceptional, resulting in many repeat

customers.

"They are like the Athena."

"Amazing, this match is going to be interesting."

"I'm already looking forward to the competition."

The forums were buzzing with chatter, and Zelena and her friends were shocked after seeing the posts. They had

underestimated 'The Spring Blossom' completely; not only were they not amateurs, but each was also a skilled

player, capable in their own right, like an all-rounder.

They had all handled thousands of gaming buddy requests, balancing entertainment with work, making them

experts in every hero and position.

This meant that the pressure was on 'The Mighty Dragons."

They had thought Violeta was formidable enough, but now there were five more like her.

Hattie felt a pang of defeat; she had thought she was already one of the best female gamers, only to see Violeta,

from a major leaderboard player, emerge first, followed by five gaming buddy girls from small- tleaderboard

players. It was hard to accept!

Zelena secretly hoped that if these five could make an impact, they might brush Violeta aside, proving their

worth.

When Violeta learned of the strength of 'The Spring Blossom’, far from worrying, she seemed even happier.

Kaylee asked, "Vio, aren't you worried? Everyone on the forums is saying how formidable these five are, and

their captain is a retired player from a professional esports club."

Leaning against the wall, Violeta took a sip of water, feeling tired after training.

"Losing to the strong isn't shameful, and besides ... " She picked up a tennis racket by her feet, twirling it in her

hand and smiling. "I don't plan on losing either."

In her memories from a previous life, Hattie eventually won the championship.

The Spring Blossom' didn't clinch the title, indicating plenty of ahead; there was no rush.
