Chapter 567 A Familiar Scene
Franco could tell from Heroâs expression that Hero didnât believe a word he was saying. To prove he wasnât exaggerating, Franco recounted todayâs events to Hero.
Franco said, âYou have no idea, Hero. The Penny Team got all cocky when they added this professional player called Stanley. If I didnât know you had your phone off during your training, Iâd have asked you for backup.
âLet me tell you. Our new classmate, Miss Swann, is seriously amazing. Donât be fooled by her being a girl. Her playstyle is incredibly aggressive and powerful. She wiped the floor with Stanley, making that professional player look like a noob!â
Hearing what Franco said, Hero frowned with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
âIs she really that powerful?â
Franco took out his phone and opened the game replay to prove his point.
âHere. Take a look at her performance!â
Unexpectedly, after watching the game replay, Hero snatched Francoâs phone.
He noticed that the skill of the female player in the battle was indeed astonishing.
With pinpoint accuracy in her shots, her marksmanship was impressive. It was as if the bullets were guided by her command, striking the enemies with precision.
Hero had faced Stanley before. He knew Stanley was a newly recruited member of the League Team.
The reason why Stanley was placed in the forward position was because of his incredible speed and precision with the steel gun. He was capable of instant enemy kills.
However, in this battle, Stanley was completely outplayed and the female player exploited his weaknesses.
Often, she took down Stanley before he. could get close.
After watching the game replay of the second round, Hero immediately opened the game replay of the third round. Now, he was curious about the new female classmate.
In the third round, the female player seemed to have changed her strategy.
She became even more swift and aggressive. It seemed that she wanted to end the battle quickly.
What should have been a half-hour match was abruptly over in just twenty minutes.
As the match ended, Hero contemplated the scene. He thought it felt a bit familiar.
Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something. He thought of the mysterious, powerful player, Sugar.
In the third round, the female playerâs playstyle was eerily similar to that of Sugar, and both of them were female. Hero wondered whether it could be the same person.
Then Hero turned and grabbed Francoâs collar.
Franco was frightened, and his face turned pale. His voice trembled as he asked, âWhat are you doing?â
âTell me. Whatâs this girlâs name, and where is she now?â Heroâs voice carried an intense excitement.
âI only know her name is Catherine Swann, and sheâs a freshman this year. As for anything else, Iâm not sure. As you know, recruitment is not my department.â Franco replied.
This kind of detailed work, like recruiting students, was typically handled by female members, while Franco was solely in charge of team training.
Hero was extremely eager, and he couldnât hide his excitement. He asked, âSo, where is she now? Take me to meet her!â
Franco looked at Hero in amazement. His eyes filled with disbelief as he asked, âNow?â
Hero couldnât understand Francoâs surprise and asked, âIs there a problem?â
Franco pointed to the dark sky outside and said, âHero, itâs already 10 p.m. In half an hour, the lights will be out. You want me to take you to find a freshman club member whoâs also a girl?
âDo normal people have such thoughts? Have you not been hit on the head by the dormitory supervisorâs broom, and it didnât sit well with you?â
Francoâs scolding made Hero gradually realize the situation.
It was indeed quite late, and approaching a girl from the dormitory at this hour might startle her.
Thinking about these things, Hero. could only suppress his curiosity and return to his original gloomy demeanor.
Seeing him like this, Franco felt a bit sorry.
âDonât be so disheartened. Maybe I can ask our learning activities coordinator to organize a club gathering tomorrow. Miss Swann is a new member of the club, and she might attend. You two can have a chat then.â
After hearing Francoâs suggestion, Hero, who was usually reserved and spoke very little, surprisingly responded, âAlright.â
Franco was once again shocked, as he didnât expect Catherine to be so charming.
She even made Hero, who hardly talked to Franco, actively respond to him.
In Francoâs opinion, Heroâs strong desire to meet Catherine was mainly because he admired her exceptional gaming skills and wanted to have a friendly exchange.
To fulfill his roommateâs rare request, Franco informed the learning activities coordinator, a senior responsible for recruitment, to organize a friendly match to assess the club membersâ skills.
Such activities were common, so it didnât raise any eyebrows.
The next day, Catherine, as usual, got up for her classes. Perhaps because it was the beginning of the school year, the workload wasnât too heavy.
She had only one class in the morning, which was her second-period class.
After class, Amelia immediately bounced over to Catherine.
âSuper Catherine, itâs almost 11 a.m. Letâs go to the cafeteria together. I heard the fifth cafeteria in our university is famous in the entire college town!â
Catherine had no objections. The choice of food wasnât very important to her as long as it was clean and didnât taste too strange.
As they left the classroom, they spotted Ronin waiting in the hallway.
Ronin stood at the staircase with a cold expression. There was an air of indifference about him.
However, when he noticed Catherine, everything changed dramatically.
His previously cold and indifferent gaze lit up instantly, and he looked in Catherineâs direction with a warm smile.
âCatherine, Iâm here!â
After seeing Ronin, Catherine knew that he had come to join her for lunch, so she mentioned Ameliaâs suggestion.
âHow about going to the fifth cafeteria together? Amelia said the food there is pretty good.â
Seeing Amelia present, Ronin had initially thought he wouldnât have a chance to have lunch with Catherine.
He was pleasantly surprised that Catherine invited him. âSure, Catherine! Iâve never eaten at the school cafeteria. Letâs go together!â
Watching Roninâs excited expression when he saw Catherine, Amelia couldnât help but envy their close relationship.
âSuper Catherine, your little brother is so considerate. He came to find you right after class. Having such a supportive family member in a new place is really nice!â
Amelia knew that Ronin was a few years younger than Catherine, and although they werenât biological siblings, their bond was incredibly strong.
Ronin wasnât thrilled about Amelia, who was always hanging around Catherine. However, hearing Amelia praise their good relationship made him look at her in a new light, and he visibly perked up.
âLetâs go quickly! I donât want Catherine to go hungry!â
