The intensity drew attention; those who didn't know Hera turned to look at the passionate group, then at Hera herself. Only then did many realize just how striking and captivating this racer truly was.
Some of the male audience members, who had originally come to support other racers, found themselves mesmerized, practically starstruck with hearts in their eyes. Their loyalty started to waver, and a few even looked longingly toward Hera's fan section, tempted to join in.
Even the banners, shirts, and fan merchandise for Hera looked premium and high-end, and no wonder. Most of her supporters now came from the upper class: influential executives, entrepreneurs, and high-profile figures who had once underestimated her but now fully backed her. Not only did they vote for her, but they also poured in as much money as they could spare without impacting their own companies, adding to her massive betting pool.
