Chapter 647
Connor pulled a black face mask from his pocket and carefully placed it on Flora.
"All set."
"Thanks, Mr. Connor."
Flora smiled, bending a bit closer, her lips brushing against Connor's cheek through the mask. Even though the mask muted the sensation, Connor's ears still turned a faint shade of pink. Raul and Henrik couldn't bear to watch. Why did it seem like Flora was the one doing the flirting?
"Hey, Flora, why the sudden mask?" Flora returned to the group with a spring in her step, and Darcy found it odd to see her wearing a mask.
Flora touched the mask lightly. "My fiancé put it on for me."
Darcy: "..."
She shouldn't have asked, only to get a face full of PDA.
Dr. Ray finished drawing lots and strode over. "First round, Darcy and Alex... Emily, you four are up. You all know the rules, so I won't repeat them. Just stay calm and do your best."
The competition was split into three rounds, the first testing the breadth of knowledge.
The opposing team would pose questions, and answering correctly meant a win, while a wrong answer resulted in a loss. They could ask up to ten questions, often choosing the most obscure and difficult ones, requiring a broad and extensive knowledge base.
This round was actually Flora's strong suit, and Dr. Ray had hoped she could ignite the team's morale from the start.
However, the rules called for random selection.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
As luck would have it, Flora wasn't picked and could only participate in the second round.
Orla happened to draw number one, making her Darcy's opponent.
She breathed a sigh of relief, actually dreading the thought of facing Flora.
After all, Flora was a genius, unmatched in theoretical knowledge even by Mr. Atticus.
To be precise, not even the entire medical organization's staff, including its upper echelons, could compare to her.
She couldn't help but glance at Flora. The teams were quite far apart, making it impossible to see clearly, only the outlines were visible.
Flora seemed to have put on a mask.
Hmph.
Putting on airs.
The host took the stage, and the competitors stepped up.
"Sister Darcy, we meet again. Please go easy on me later."
Orla stood on the stage, her eyes brimming with laughter as she looked at Darcy across from her.
Her large eyes and dimples when she smiled gave her an innocent and kind appearance that melted the hearts of viewers nationwide. "Secretary Lee, get me all her contact information in three minutes!"
"Is there no justice in this world? Not only is she a top student from the medical organization, but she's also so beautiful. Tell me, what has God closed off for her?"
Darcy clenched her teeth in
frustration; was she a plastic bag with how well she could pretend? If she didn't already know Orla's true nature, she might have been fooled too.
She closed her eyes, not wanting to engage. Orla's lips pouted slightly, looking a bit sad, which immediately angered viewers nationwide.
What's with that attitude? When someone greets you nicely, even out of politeness, shouldn't you respond?
Is this the standard of a University of Maple Grove student?
The competition hadn't even started, and they were already losing face, making others wonder about them. Each contestant had a tablet in front of them, containing the outline of their question bank.
The questions they asked could only be based on this outline.
Darcy's topic was Neuroscience, so her questions had to fall within that field.
"Alright, now that every contestant has their questions, let's begin the competition! Please start answering!" Darcy was the first to ask.
"Neurons have extensions from the
cell body, w
in one
which, due to differences
, structure, and function
can
be divided into which two o types?"
