"Oh, right, I actually have an idea!"
At this moment, another girl seemed to have thought of something, her eyes glittering.
"When the competition comes, why don't we invite Teacher Duanmu to sit in the audience? Then, as soon as the other schools see Teacher Duanmu, they'll be so scared that they'll mess up their performances—making it easier for us to win effortlessly... Eh? What's wrong with you guys?"
However, before the girl finished speaking, she noticed her companions in front of her had turned pale, their faces ashen, and cold sweat running down their foreheads. Right then, a steel claw abruptly landed on the girl's head. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai's voice emerged from behind her.
"Hmm... your idea is quite interesting, Kato."
"........."
At that moment, the girl named Kato froze completely. Her whole body stiffened as she hesitantly turned her head. Behind her, Duanmu Huai was grinning ominously, glaring at her fiercely.
