Chapter 150

Upon hearing these words, a smile appeared on Ethan's face; he was sure that Elysia would not refuse. Back in

Class 6, Ava quickly grabbed Elysia by the arm and asked, “Elysia, what did Levi want with you?”

Curiosity sparked in the eyes of their classmates as they turned to listen. Elysia glanced at them, her gaze briefly

flickering to Ava before she replied, “Oh, it’s nothing important.”

She added, “Levi mentioned that although our class has improved this time, if we drop in performance again, we

could still face disbandment.”

Suddenly, their mood dropped; it seemed that Levi was indeed seriously thinking about breaking up Class 6.

Seeing their sad faces, Elysia smiled gently and said, “We should be happy that we didn’t disband this time.

“Elysia, it's hard for us to feel happy. While we've done better this time, what about next time?”

“Exactly. If we stumble again, Class 6 could still get dissolved. Does all this effort really matter?”

“Of course it does,” Elysia said firmly, her eyes determined. “Since we've succeeded this time, we can definitely

do it again.” She added, “You've already shown you are capable. Even if Class 6 does get dissolved one day, at

least we will have given our all, right? Plus, learning should be for ourselves-how can that be pointless?”

“Elysia, do you really believe we can succeed?” a classmate asked.

“Absolutely. You need to believe in yourselves. Do you want others to think of Class 6 as just a group of

underachievers?” Noticing the sad looks on their faces, Elysia paused for a moment before continuing, “You must

know how many people view Milton School’s Class 6.

“Don’t you want to change that? Maybe if you give it your all, the bad reputation of Class 6 can finally change.”

Their silence said a lot as they thought about Elysia’s words. For a long time, Class 6 had been seen as a place

for troubled students, known for lacking academic ambition and getting into trouble. Many felt ashamed to be in

Class 6.

But Elysia knew this wasn’t the whole truth. They might have acted that way just to protect themselves, wanting

attention and validation.

To her, they were kind and united. Beyond their disinterest in studying, they had so much to offer-squalities

that even better students didn’t have.

Because of others’ judgments, they couldn't see these good qualities. But Elysia could see the unique charm in

each of them as they tried to be true to themselves.

While she never thought academics were the only way to succeed, and that even without studying, their futures

could still be bright, they might face challenges.

Honestly, she might have been worrying too much. But these were her classmates and friends; She couldn't just

stand by and watch them sail through their important years without purpose.

Elysia’s words sparked a new sense of responsibility among them.

“Elysia, we will follow your lead.” one student declared.

“Don’t worry, Elysia, we won't let you down.” another vowed.

Seeing their renewed determination, Eric scratched his nose and added, “And I'll pay more attention in class,

too”

Elysia beamed, silently apologizing to Levi for using his nonce more, but she recognized that most people’s

opinions didn’t hold much weight.

On the playground, Emma wore a frown, clearly upset.

“Emma, don’t be so down. Even if Elysia got first place this time, what about next? She can’t always be number

one, Natalie said gently, squeezing her friend's arm.

“Yeah, maybe her success was just luck; who knows what will happen in the next exam?” Mia chimed in.

Emma only managed a faint smile, choosing not to reply. It was hard to deny Elysia’s streak of top ranks; her

friends were just saying these things to make her feel better.

Her gaze drifted and landed on Bianca, who was tossing a conducting baton on the playground, leaving her

momentarily speechless.

In the whirlwind of recent events, she had completely forgotten that every year, the Milton School Winter Sports

Event included an Honor Guard, and last year, she had done the baton toss for the Honor Guard.

Emma had thought she would have the role again this year, but now it had been given to someone else. A wave

of jealousy washed over her. ‘Why is it Bianca who got picked? | am undeniably the most suitable!

“Emma, what's wrong?” Natalie asked, noticing her sudden understood.

“Emma, not picking you is their mistake. With Bianca's skills being so weak, she'll surely embarrass herself when

“Natalic is right; not only will she make herself look bad, but she’ll also ruin the student council's reputation,”

Mia added. Emma didn’t respond to their comments, still locked on Bianca. “Did you two know about this

already?”

The two exchanged nervous looks. “Emma, we learned about it quite a while ago.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?” Emma shot a cold glare at Natalie.

Natalie was taken aback. “We thought you already knew. I'm really sorry. Emma, we didn’t mean to keep it from

you.” Realizing her tone had been harsh, Emma quickly softened her expression and put on a look of fake sorrow.

“I'm sorry, Natalie; | didn’t mean to snap. | just found it hard to deal with this. Please don’t be mad at me, okay?”

Emma'’s face scrunched up in distress, and seeing this, Natalie felt a wave of sympathy; she couldn't muster any

anger. Even though Emma's earlier attitude had not been pleasant, they were, after all, best friends-she tried to

be understanding. “Emma, why would | be mad at you? We get it, don’t we, Mia?” Natalie said.

Mia paused for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Exactly. Natalie's right; we understand. Emma, it’s

totally fine.”
