Chapter 112
After hanging up the phone, Oneida turned around and was about to return to the waiting area when Roxanne happened to walk toward her.
They almost ran into each other.
Fortunately, Oneida managed to stop in time, but Roxanne, seemingly oblivious to anyone in front of her, lowered her head and walked straight into the bathroom beside her.
Oneida stood there and frowned slightly.
Oneida was perplexed by Roxanne’s sudden change in demeanor. The latter had always been poised, but now, she appeared. agitated and distressed to the extent that she failed to notice she was about to collide with someone.
She did not want her opponents to be in such a state since the finals would soon start.
Meanwhile, Roxanne walked into the toilet with her eyes lowered
She unlocked her phone.
The chat interface was still displayed on the phone screen.
She was chatting with someone.
No, to be precise, she was the one sending messages unilaterally, sending more than a dozen messages in a row.
However, the other party did not reply to any of her messages.
Roxanne clenched her phone in despair.
She could not help but send another message to that person.
[Are you coming to my final? I really hope that you can come.]
After the message was sent successfully, she stared at the screen intensely, looking forward to a response,
However, a few minutes passed, and the other person still had not replied.
Everything seemed as if Roxanne was playing a stand–alone game.
She gazed at the dozen messages she had sent, starting with simple greetings, followed by small talks, and eventually asking him if he would attend her final game.
All of the messages were proof of her wishful thinking
Roxanne closed her eyes, which were filled with grief.
Hendrick and Damian strolled side–by–side along the boulevard that led to the central square, heading toward the karate tournament final.
Damian managed to convince Hendrick, a big shot, to head out and take a break outside.
Does your phone keep ringing?” Damian noticed the unusual noise coming from Hendrick and asked curiously. “Did someone send you a message? Why don’t you check it?”
Hendrick maintained the same cold expression as he said, “I don’t want to see it.”

It was because he knew who was sending him messages,
“Is it Roxanne?” Damian smiled and asked in a low voice. “Is she the one sending you messages?”
Hendrick pursed his lips and said nothing
Damian instantly knew his guess was correct.
He shook his head and let out a sigh while saying. “It’s her. Why can’t you just reply to her with one message? Don’t leave the girl feeling sad”
Everyone in the Starlight Class was aware of the fact that the person who ranked second in the Imperial Star Genius Leaderboard had a secret crush on the person who ranked first.
The infatuation was not a secret. But it was an unrequited love, which everyone knew.
Roxanne was a goddess in the minds of many. She was beautiful and talented, yet she fell in love with someone as stubborn. cold, and unapproachable as Hendrick.
“Do you not plan to reply to the message?” Damian asked tentatively while checking Hendrick’s expression.
“No”
Hendrick narrowed his cold eyes and uttered one word with indifference.
Hendrick had a face that could rival those of comic book characters, but his demeanor was exceptionally frigid and unfeeling.
“I have already made it clear to her,” he said, continuing to walk ahead. “I am not obligated to deal with her feelings”
He was right. Hendrick had been straightforward with Roxanne and clearly stated that he had no romantic interest in her
Replying to her message now would only encourage her to continue holding onto false hope.
Moreover, Hendrick did not like to get involved in complicated relationships, especially ones related to emotions.
The two arrived at the central square just when Hendrick stated his stance.
The waiting area was empty since most contestants had been eliminated.
However, an extraordinary figure suddenly caught the attention of the two at that moment.
Oneida was engaged in some stretching exercises and practicing by herself.
She was dressed in a snow–white uniform, looking pristine from head to toe.
Her shiny black hair was pulled up high into a ponytail, giving her a refreshing and charming look.
They kick.
observed as she executed a sharp upward kick, followed by a swift downward turn, and finished with a splendid side
Each of her movements was exquisitely graceful and flawless.
Hendrick’s gaze was fixed on Oneida, and he suddenly commented, “She’s very skilled.”
Damian’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing that. “That’s rare. It’s the first time I’ve heard you compliment someone,” he
said.
It was indeed the first time Hendrick had complimented someone.

Throughout his life, Hendrick had always represented the best and the strongest. Hence, he looked down on everyone else.
However, the person before Hendrick caught his attention and piqued his interest.
Oneida had keen hearing, and she naturally heard the sound behind her.
She halted her movements and instinctively turned her head to see what was happening.
Behind her were two young and tall men.
One was dressed in black sportswear with a bright countenance, while the other wore a white shirt with a cold expression.
Oneida frowned slightly as she had seen the man in white somewhere before.
For a moment, she could not recall who he was
“The final is about to begin. Come to the side of the arena and wait! The referee, who was also the teacher, came over to usher Oneida.
Oneida withdrew her gaze and nodded at the teacher.
Then she left the waiting area.
“Is that girl the contestant with a white belt?” Damian blinked and asked as soon as Oneida left.
Hendrick’s eyes darkened as he replied firmly, “Yes, she is.”
“If so, she’s really good. I wonder if she’s good enough to beat Roxanne, Damian subconsciously asked.
Despite the white belt contestant’s impressive skills, Roxanne was a legitimate third–degree black belt, making her unlikely to lose.
Hendrick’s lips slightly twitched as if he wanted to speak, but he refrained from doing so in the end.
Hendrick gazed toward the direction where Oneida had left and said in a low voice, ‘Let’s go and observe the competition, Then we’ll find out if she can defeat Roxanne.
With that, they walked to the arena
At that moment, it was crowded with people.
As the super genius and popular figure of Imperial Star University, many people recognized Hendrick at a glance.
Then someone took the lead and exclaimed, “What? That’s Hendrick!”
Others started to notice Hendrick’s presence after his scream.
Numerous eyes were then focused on him
“Isn’t he the person from the second year who ranked first on the Imperial Star Genius Leaderboard and the one who is both beautiful and strong?”
“Wow That guy is truly Hendrick!”
This is my first time seeing him in person. He’s incredibly handsome, and his demeanor is so cool,” someone commented.
“Why is he here?”
“Why tenth–degree black belt in karate himself, and he was the champion of the karate in the last campus
not? Hendrick is a

festival!” someone answered,
“I sec.”
Standing there with a cold expression, Hendrick seemed to block out all the attention and discussions around him.
Damian looked at the group of students with great annoyance and waved his hand at them. “Could you all calm down? He’s just here to watch a match. Don’t act like you’re observing someone abnormal, okay?”
Everyone finally restrained their gazes after hearing that.
Meanwhile, as Roxanne was about to step into the arena, she noticed the commotion in the audience area and turned her head to look in that direction.
Hendrick’s handsome face suddenly came into her view.
“He’s here!” she exclaimed inwardly.
