Chapter 235

The online buzz was at fever pitch, but truth be told, nobody really had high hopes for the EW Club.

Sure, Cordelia managed to outplay the streamer Jungler in a solo match, but let's be real: there's a world of difference between a streamer and a pro player. Plus, Cordelia was clearly a newbie. Could someone like her really step up in the gaming world?

Right now, Cordelia was sitting through her final class of the day at school, after which she'd head to the club to train with her teammates.

Her phone buzzed. Glancing at it, she saw a flurry of messages from the Flame Union chat group:

Flame No. 1: "Damn, this Wade guy is asking for it! Back in the GoldGrasp Enterprises days, he wouldn't even stand a chance against the Demon King!"

Flame No.2: "EW Club is my heart and soul, man. I can't stand the thought of them losing..."

Flame No.3: "The thought of Floyd getting schooled makes me wanna burst into tears!"

Flame No.1: "Whoa, a shooting star has appeared. Who's this Learner? Why does it sound just like Lia's gamer tag?"

Merry: "Let me introduce, the starting shooter for EW Club, @LearnLover."

Flame No. 1: "What?"

Flame No.1: "Stop kidding around. Lia's busy cramming for the Math League finals. How could she possibly compete?"

"You've lost your mind? At such a crucial time, you choose to compete?" Daisy was utterly shocked, staring at Cordelia in disbelief.

Cordelia, while packing her textbooks, stood up. "I know exactly what I'm doing. I have to go."

She went to ask Mr. Waldron for leave, mentioning she was headed to an esports event but would return in time for her exams. Mr. Waldron hesitated, initially reluctant to let her go, even calling her parents, Lorna and Sanderson, in front of her.

Upon hearing about the esports competition, both were stunned. "Lia, are you serious about this?"

Mr. Waldron, hearing their worried tones, sighed in relief, thinking, "Thank goodness the parents are sensible. Who wouldn't freak out at their child ditching school for esports?"
