Chapter 1095

As her thoughts wandered, Mane York’s voice resounded, "We met the other day, I remember you, you’re Grim’s friend."

Grim.

The moment she heard this name, Chloe Collins suddenly recalled Alexander Foster’s masked identity in the Dark Alliance. A mix of red, black, and white, his face was terrifying, indeed resembling a grim reaper.

"I was too busy in the lab to participate in the military training, what’s your excuse?" she asked.

"Personal reasons."

Chloe Collins continued to stare straight ahead, embodying an air of disinterest in small talk.

However——

"That’s not an answer. Of course, it’s personal affairs, but what kind of personal affairs?"

Mane York’s gaze was filled with curiosity; it seemed as if she could not wait to pry open Chloe Collins’ brain to see what she was thinking.

Chloe leaned back against her chair, her eyes laden with a mix of apathy and fatigue as she stared at the team walking towards the podium. Silence ensued.

A trace of stiffness appeared on Mane York’s arrogantly radiant face, tinged with a slight displeasure.

In her eighteen years of life, hardly anyone had ever rejected her, except for that one man.

Knowing that pressing further wouldn’t achieve any results, she decided to remain silent.

When the exercise session ended, the instructor organized everyone to take a commemorative photo.

A group of boys excitedly encouraged Chloe Collins into the center of the group. She was surrounded only by male students.

In her class, Class 1, there were 29 male students besides her.

The whole department, more than a hundred people, gathered for a group photo. Class 2 held the middle spot with the other two classes on either side. Class 3, composed entirely of male students, enviously glanced at the beautiful ’flowers’ in the other two classes, grumbling about the unfairness.

Despite the complaints, everyone worked with enthusiasm to present their best during the photograph, to avoid being the subject of jokes.

Centrally located, Mane York naturally became the center of attention in Class 2 and especially noticeable when she struck a pose after suddenly removing her hat during the photo session.

Two days later, when the training photos began to circulate among classes, a series of pictures suddenly emerged on the forum. The photos were taken from afar, then zoomed in, covering almost a full 360-degrees and focusing exclusively on Chloe Collins and Mane York.

Both of them were featured in a series of snapshots that were then compared on the forum.

It’s inevitable for new students to compare each other’s appearances. At this moment, the number of people online in the forum broke this year’s record.

The person who posted the photos was from the School of Journalism and Communication, and his skills were outstanding. His theme was quite simple. After posting the series of photos, he simply wrote: A battle of the red and white roses, who’s superior?

This comparison was made because their outfits that day were of contrasting colors - with Chloe Collins in white.

The comments pouring in became more and more——

"Wasn’t Mane York the school beauty of the previous batch? Why is she competing again this year? Is she addicted?"

"To the guy upstairs, aren’t you too bitter? The school beauty contest is all about comparing the old and the new. As Mane York has transferred to automation, she could also be considered as a new student. So what’s wrong with a comparison?"

"Guys on the first and second floors, don’t sidetrack. In terms of beauty alone, I support Chloe Collins. She is simply too stunning to take your eyes off her. Mane York’s eyes are not as expressive, making her look slightly less attractive."

"Haha, not expressive? You reading a book or something? Mane York’s eastern and western appeal makes her extremely attractive. I admit Chloe Collins is dazzling, but if she wants to surpass Mane York, she can dream on."

"Are you all so shallow? Is beauty all that matters for a school beauty? Both of them look good, we should consider other factors as well. Mane York is outstanding in all aspects. Apart from her excellent academic performance, she is the only researcher under twenty involved in a first-grade research project at our school. Considering this, who could possibly compete?"
