"Janie, don't get mad," Olivia said, glancing over at Charlotte with a sweet, innocent smile.

Charlotte shot her a look, silently cursing her in her head.

Olivia’s smile faded, leaving her looking a little awkward.

Janie, still annoyed, glared at Stella and sneered. "Stella, my uncle called me. He said he'll come see you after training." When she saw Stella's face change, she pressed on, sounding pleased with herself. "Letty's coming back from her exchange, too. You guys should have a nice little family reunion."

Stella glanced back at Charlotte, then forced a small smile for Shirley. "I’m fine."

Even without anyone watching over them, the whole mountain was covered by cameras, so there was nowhere to hide.

Most of these students had been spoiled all their lives. After just a little bit of climbing, they started whining and complaining. Some of them couldn’t even tell which way they were going, stumbling around in the forest and threatening to quit.
