Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 300

The car that fetched Ava every day was very low-key. Its price was not high.

Most people couldn’t tell that her father was the richest man. Most importantly, Ava did not put on air

and was relatively low-key.

Ava

got

off the car and walked toward the female dormitory with a white sling bag on her back. She pressed the

target floor on the elevator button, and the elevator quickly reached her dormitory floor.

Pushing open the dormitory door, she didn’t turn on the lights. It was Saturday, and they had no

classes. Alex was still asleep. She gently placed her bag on her bed.

She took the computer and turned it on very quickly. She logged into her account, and just as she

logged in, she found a dialog box appeared on the interface.

It was the expert that Rose had introduced to her. The content was, [1 heard that your competition was

brought forward to tomorrow. We have a lot of content to talk about today, and it might be late when

we’re done. Can your body take it?]

Ava typed a few words on the keyboard. [ Mr. Expert, how did you know about the…]

Thinking that he was an expert and was in the same major, it was not strange for him to know that her

competition was brought forward. Besides, the principals of the two schools were already famous

because of their bet, so there was no need to ask around.

After thinking for a while, she deleted the few words that she had not sent.

Ava typed on the computer without hesitation. [Yes, I can take it. Thank you, Mr. Expert. I have a

competition tomorrow. It’s not a bad idea to work overtime tonight.]

The expert replied, [Okay, what time shall we start? You can decide on the time. I’m available today. I

Ava was suddenly a little curious. The expert had typed a lot more words today. [Mr. Expert, do you

take two days off a week?]

The expert replied instantly. [Yes.]

Ava felt a little sorry. It was the expert’s weekend, and he still had to spend his weekend off teaching

her. She was very grateful. During this period, she learned a lot of things that she didn’t know, though

she didn’t know who this expert was. He even knew those that her professor hadn’t taught her.

Ava typed a thank you message on the keyboard. [Thank you for your hard work during this period.

Can I treat you to a meal after the competition? It’s just to express my gratitude. I don’t mean anything

else. It’s okay if you don’t think it’s appropriate. I’m purely thanking you for sharing your knowledge.]

The other party did not reply very quickly. After a few minutes, the other party replied. [We’ll meet.]

Ava stared at the words on the screen and was puzzled. [Do we know each other?]

The expert replied, [It’s a secret.]

Ava sent a question mark to the other party.

Was he a deity who had descended to the mortal world? Was he that mysterious?

The expert ignored her question mark. [Tell me when you’re ready to practice.]

Ava did not pursue the matter any further. It would be impolite to probe further, so she only replied,

[OK]

Then, she sent a playful picture.

“Why are you here so early? Isn’t it Saturday today?” Alex’s hoarse voice came from the bed next door

with a hint of magnetism.

Those who didn’t know better would really think that she was hiding a boy.

Ava took off her shoes and put the computer aside. She bent down her legs and propped them up on

the bed. She hugged her legs with her hands and rested her chin on her knees. She asked. “Alex, tell

me why the competition was brought forward.”

It was brought forward by almost a week.

Alex sat up and wore a sleeveless tank top on her upper body. Other girls wore pajamas with lace

edges, but she liked sleeveless tank tops. They were comfortable and free of restraints. This was

Alex’s explanation.

In addition, Alex often exercised. She had abdominal muscles, but her chest was flat. It was not too

much to say that she looked like a man.

Alex scratched her buzz cut and touched the back of her head. Then she touched her face and said in

a low voice, “I think our principal’s head was kicked by a donkey or was squeezed by the door. The

principal of Northview University only

provoked him, and he agreed to move it forward. How did he become the principal with his IQ? It’s very

questionable.”

Ava smiled happily. Whenever she heard Alex speak, she would be in a good mood and did not

restrain herself. “You’re killing me. If the principal knew that you said his position was obtained by

buying, he would die on the spot.

Alex looked at Ava and said with a gossipy expression, “Do you know how the other party’s principal

provoked our silly principal? Listen, after I tell you why, you will look at the principal with prejudice when

you see him. It’s not that I don’t think he is capable, but I think his brain is empty.

“The principal of Northview University was having a meal at Sapphire Hotel. Coincidentally, he met our

silly principal. Then, he felt that his students were almost ready and wanted to catch us off guard, so he

said, ‘Oh, it’s Mr. Giles. How are the preparations of your students going? Our students said they could

compete tomorrow, but we decided to wait for you because your students might not be well-prepared.

Otherwise, our victory would be dishonorable.

“Our silly principal started talking nonsense the moment he heard that. We’re already prepared. Thank

you for being so unnecessarily kind, Mr. Noyes. Our students said they could compete yesterday, but I

thought you needed time, so I didn’t talk to you about it. Since we all have the same thoughts, let’s do it

tomorrow.”

The two principals went to the same school when they were young. They fell in love with the same girl,

but the girl chose Sapphire City University’s principal. Therefore, the principal of Northview University

was so unpleased about it that he went against Sapphire City University’s principal in everything and

competed with him to death. Whenever they met,

would become eccentric.

he

Ava was speechless after hearing this. This was a picture of two children bickering, though they were

already in their 50s.

Alex could not help but be a little worried. “Ava, are you confident about it? It’s not that I want you to be

under pressure, but I feel that if we lose tomorrow, we might need to call an ambulance for our

principal. Sapphire City University might become famous.”

Ava had already understood everything. She sighed and said thoughtfully, “Two out of three rounds.

Two of us have to win. It might not be easy to win three rounds.”

She could guarantee that she would win, but she could not guarantee 100% that others would win.

After all, there were two other students from other classes. Ava had seen them at the annual award

ceremony but had never interacted with them. They were all appointed by the principal.

It was up to fate. It was a one-on-one competition, to begin with. After the game was set, she

suggested they study it together and form a group to discuss it. In the end, the two people from the

other classes seemed worried that she would learn from them secretly. They refused and practiced

secretly.

They must be capable. Otherwise, the principal wouldn’t have chosen them. It was just that they

weren’t very broad-minded.

Alex knew about this situation and scolded the other two for being petty. “Don’t worry. Just take care of

yourself. The principal has established a team of three of you, but what’s the use of it if the others are

not cooperative? The team is not united, but it doesn’t matter because it’s one-on-one. Whoever loses

will be embarrassed. I believe you can win.

“By the way, people in our department said that we’re having a mask party tomorrow night. Remember

to write my name. Look at your face. There might be a lot of people who take advantage of you. I’ll

protect you.”

Ava smiled, and the warm sun filled the entire dormitory. “Got it. I’m going to practice. Please buy me a

portion of lunch. “Oh, by the way, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, get me three sets of school

uniforms of our faculty for girls about 5.6 feet tall. And two sets of boys’ school uniforms about 6.1 feet

tall.”

Alex asked in confusion, “What do you want them for?”

Ava said playfully, “I plan to bring my cousins to this party to let them experience the vibe. They came

this time to watch my competition and surprise me. But I don’t have time to accompany them, right?

“You don’t have class on Monday morning. Accompany me to class. I’ll bring you to listen to the

professor’s class in advance”

Ava knew that Alex also wanted to take the postgraduate examination and wanted to force her to study.

Alex refused. “I’m not going. I haven’t even finished my undergraduate degree. Do you think I can

understand what the professor says when I go to the postgraduate class?”

After saying that, Alex met Ava’s sincere and expectant gaze, so she compromised. She could not hold

it in for a second. “Okay, okay, I’ll go. I don’t know if the person refuses…”

Alex wanted to say that the person who refused Ava was blind. How could he bear to reject such a soft

and cuddly girl? After looking her in the eye for three seconds, even Alex, a girl, didn’t have the heart to

refuse her. Realizing she had almost said the wrong thing, she quickly changed the topic. “Is your

expert taking off today?”

Alex knew that Ava had found an expert to train with every night. Alex watched from the side as the two

of them attacked each other. After that, the expert would analyze her weakness.

Even Alex was impressed after watching for a while. The expert was even more professional than their

professor.

Ava nodded and replied, “Yes, he said that he’s free today.”

“Alright, go ahead I’ll sleep for a while more. The sound of the keyboard is quite hypnotic. Good

morning.”

After Alex went to sleep. Ava turned on her computer and entered these words on the chat interface.

[Are you busy?]

The expert replied instantly. [No, shall we start? Have you had breakfast?]

These words stunned Ava. This was the first time he sent her a question other than learning during so

many days. Shocked, she still replied politely. [Yes, I had. What about you?]

The expert replied. [Yes]

Ava was already used to his succinct words. [Let’s begin.]

The expert replied. [Let’s try a different way today. I’ll attack you.

Ava didn’t delve into the meaning of his words. She just thought that he had changed his method.

[Okay.]

The two computer experts exchanged blows. In the morning, the one that made the attacks was not

Ava, so she accepted the beating.

After that, he patiently pointed out her problems and did it again in the same move. It was equivalent to

gaining new insights through reviewing old material. He determined if Ava had any improvement

according to her speed and the time to break through.

Ava was indeed talented in this area. She understood it immediately when the other party taught her.

The other party was also very attentive when teaching her.

The sound of keyboards flying in the dormitory was mixed with Alex’s soft snoring. The symphony

lasted for an entire morning

At the same time, it was already ten o’clock when Natalie woke up. She opened her eyes and saw a

man leaning lazily against the bed, reading a book.

His well-defined facial features were exceptionally handsome under the warm light. She opened her

mouth slightly and said, “Where’s Jasper?”

Trevon put the book in his hand on his lap and looked down at her with a smile. “Your voice is a little

hoarse. We might have broken the record last night, but it’s not recorded.”

Natalie didn’t say anything.

Seeing that she was silent and even glaring at him, he did not continue to joke. “Okay, I’ll stop. Emma

brought Jasper out to buy clothes. Are you hungry? Get up and eat something.”

Natalie shook her head. She wasn’t hungry. She was just too tired.

She suggested, “We can have a daughter, but it can’t happen too frequently. I’m afraid that the quality

won’t be good. We have to guarantee both quality and quantity.”

Her rejection was reasonable.

He chuckled. “I won’t touch you tonight. Ava’s competition is in tomorrow morning.”

“Well, isn’t there still a few days left? Why is it tomorrow?”

Why was it so much earlier?

Trevon repeated what Ava had told him, then added, “Your phone rang several times. It might be Sherri

looking for you.” Natalie turned sideways and glanced at the messages on her phone. It was messages

from the group Fairy Fortress. Ava explained and apologized to everyone. And the others were also

looking forward to the mask party tomorrow night. She read through all their chat records roughly, put

away her phone, and said to him, “Ava said she would take us to her school’s mask party tomorrow

night. Do you… want to come?”

“Sounds like fun. Let’s go together.”

Natalie stuttered, “Ahem. Well, Ava said that we needed to wear their… school uniforms. You…

Trevon thought about it and felt that it was a little childish. He used a stalling tactic. “Let’s talk about

tomorrow.”

Trevon thought to himself, “Why would university students wear school uniforms? They even wear

school uniforms for a party. What a waste of money!”
