Josh is the kind of gifted warrior who can deliver an S+ battle performance with B-class spiritual power, naturally suited for battlefield strategy and control.

Susan, on the other hand, is the opposite. Despite having A-class spiritual power, her performance level is at most a C+, which is disappointing.

Especially with Josh as a shining example before her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Susanna gritted her teeth, constantly getting up and running forward.

She must stay in the Eden Garden Guild; she couldn’t return home in disgrace.

The Augustine family spent so much money on her, she couldn’t imagine the consequences if she couldn’t establish herself here.

Don’t think she doesn’t know, previously Cherry and Glennan wanted to control her by marrying her off to those useless members of the Augustine family with no spiritual power!

She, Susanna, was born to look down on others from above, how could she marry such trash!

Absolutely impossible!

She just needs to hold on a little longer.

Last night, she called back, and Cherry already agreed to lower herself to use the connection with that bitch Josh to help her out.

If she could leverage Josh’s relationship to ask Lady Catherine for a favor, the guild from the noble side would definitely treat her as an honored guest, even Xue Guo would have to act according to her wishes!

By that time...

Susanna let out a cold snort, the first thing she would do was kick out that fool Coach Webb who looked down on her!

Susanna gritted her teeth to finish running, barely reaching the passing mark for the physical test, allowing her to stay in Team Three and avoid elimination.

Webb looked rather disappointed and just waved her off.

The surrounding girls were mocking her.

"What A-class spiritual power healing, isn’t she just a waste!"

"It’s hilarious, she joined Team One right away, I thought she was impressive, but it turns out she’s even worse than those in Team Three!"

A nearby guy interjected: "Exactly, always acting like a noble lady. I saw her walking with Sister Qimeng from Team One, thought she was so high and mighty, but found out she’s just a commoner from a small planet like Granel City, what’s there to be proud of."

"Yeah, she’s not particularly pretty, and her abilities aren’t great either. Hey, do you think she got in because she’s involved with Coach Webb?"

Susanna heard these discussions behind her, silently gritted her teeth.

Just wait a while longer, once Cherry persuades Josh and lets her climb her way to Duke Catherine’s connections, they wouldn’t know how to kiss up to her by then!

A bunch of sycophants!

Susanna returned to the dormitory, eagerly opened the Smart Brain, and dialed Cherry’s number.

But it only kept ringing with an alert sound, and no one answered the phone.

What’s going on?

Why wasn’t Cherry picking up her call?

At this hour, she shouldn’t be busy.

Could she still be meeting with Josh?

Susanna patiently waited a while longer, but still couldn’t get through to Cherry, not even a text message.

What’s going on? Cherry’s Smart Brain is on, she should have seen her call.

If she saw it, even if it’s inconvenient to answer, she would at least text back, why wasn’t there even a message?

Susanna paced nervously back and forth in the room.

As time passed, her heart sank deeper and deeper.

Cherry went to meet Josh today, and after that, there was no news from her.

Could she be tempted by Josh’s connections and recognize her real daughter again, abandoning her?

Had she become a discard?

Susanna felt a bit flustered, and quickly called Dalton and Cromwell, but neither picked up.

She became increasingly unsettled.

What was going on with this family?

Had they all died?

She suffered hardships and ridicule at the Eden Garden Guild for this family, and did they think she was of no use and just tossed her aside?

No!

They can’t do this to her!

Absolutely not!

She turned to look at an application form on the desk.

This was what Coach Weber handed out to everyone before.

The application was to join the Smart Brain Team, reportedly with a one hundred percent acceptance rate.

Once in the team, it wouldn’t take long before her power significantly increased, and her tacit cooperation with teammates would also be exceptionally high, just like Turbo and the others.

Susanna gritted her teeth, she knew what this was.

Previously, she inadvertently overheard Cherry talking to her brother Charlotte, knowing this was actually a form of brain modification.

Once modified, the team members and captain would share a brain.

In other words, they might seem normal at times, but during battles, their bodies would be involuntarily controlled by the captain, becoming like puppets, their lives not in their own hands.

Before, Cherry wanted her controlled, intending to send her to the Military Department for modification, letting Cromwell or Dalton control her body.

But no matter whom she married among them, she would lose control over her body.

If she was going to lose control anyway, she would choose to stay in the Eden Garden Guild!

Because after the modification, she could return to Team One.

Given time, she could surely win over Xue Guo’s heart and smoothly marry him!

Susanna gritted her teeth and sat down to fill out the form.

Meanwhile, the Grant family was brewing a storm.

Xue Guo angrily smashed the items on the table: "I don’t care, I want to marry Josh! Find me a way, I want her to be my Master An!"

Grant’s face was dark: "I said no!"

"Why?" Xue Guo glared at his father angrily.

In the living room, besides Xue Guo and Grant, there were also two marquises.

One was Stanpek, the other was Abbott.

These two had noticed her during the news about Josh’s beastification and growth-type spiritual power awakening at 17.

They had always wanted to recruit her into the noble faction, thinking it would be great if they could bring her over so they could stand against the Military Department.

For now, Josh was undoubtedly the most promising person to compete with Yuze for the final godhood position.

So no matter what, they wanted to win over Josh.

They also couldn’t understand why Grant was so resistant to Xue Guo marrying Josh.

Stanpek questioned: "Why not try it? If she’s willing, wouldn’t she become one of us nobility? In time, her power would definitely be on par with Yuze’s, and she might even inherit the godhood to lead the nobles over the Military Department, regaining pride!"

Abbott nodded repeatedly: "I agree!"

Grant, somewhat troubled, had to confess that he had previously sent Norton to Burn City to punish Josh.

Xue Guo’s pupils constricted: "No wonder! During the New Year, Lady Catherine didn’t invite us to her castle for the banquet, which had never happened before!"

He had heard of Josh spending the New Year in the castle on Layena Star and almost couldn’t resist rushing to find her. Finally, he waited until the New Year, but discovered Lady Catherine invited other families’ sons and daughters of marquis rank and above, except for theirs!
