Cole's face contorted with a sense of entitlement as he boasted, "Let's go, I'm done with this place."

The very idea of wasting his time on the “inferior” talents in the room was enough to make him scoff.

Ariana, who had been patiently listening to his condescending remarks, cast a derisive glance his way and coolly replied, "You can go back in line."

The room fell silent as the other trainees watched in shock at the exchange. The smug look on Cole's face quickly morphed into one of confusion. He looked at Ariana, who had retured to studying the documents in front of her, and asked incredulously, "What do you mean?"

To his dismay, Ariana's response was not what he expected. Despite his obvious appeal, she had no intention of choosing him.
