In addition to presenting his work in slides, Flint also showed the audience a miniature version of his hotel project. He explained that each wall, made from various high-quality building materials, is remarkably resilient even in the face of an earthquake.
Although the presentation was over ten minutes long, the committee didn't mind, and instead received many positive comments for the Flint team's flawless presentation. While waiting for the winner to be announced, Ellen and Bastian remained in the audience.
"Ellen, are you nervous?" Bastian asked, rubbing his palms together.
"Actually, I was a little nervous. Because I saw that all the participants were confidently presenting their work."
"But I'm sure they'll win. I heard the loudest applause when Flint performed earlier." Bastian gave a thumbs up. "He's got a steely mentality. Even though he was bullied, he wasn't easily swayed."
