Chapter 567 A Familiar Scene
Franco could tell from Hero’s expression that Hero didn’t believe a word he was saying. To prove he wasn’t exaggerating, Franco recounted today’s events to Hero.
Franco said, “You have no idea, Hero. The Penny Team got all cocky when they added this professional player called Stanley. If I didn’t know you had your phone off during your training, I’d have asked you for backup.
“Let me tell you. Our new classmate, Miss Swann, is seriously amazing. Don’t 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!”
Hearing what Franco said, Hero frowned with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“Is she really that powerful?”
Franco took out his phone and opened the game replay to prove his point.
“Here. Take a look at her performance!”
Unexpectedly, after watching the game replay, Hero snatched Franco’s 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 player’s 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 Franco’s collar.
Franco was frightened, and his face turned pale. His voice trembled as he asked, “What are you doing?”
“Tell me. What’s this girl’s name, and where is she now?” Hero’s voice carried an intense excitement.
“I only know her name is Catherine Swann, and she’s a freshman this year. As for anything else, I’m not sure. As you know, recruitment is not my department.” 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 couldn’t hide his excitement. He asked, “So, where is she now? Take me to meet her!”
Franco looked at Hero in amazement. His eyes filled with disbelief as he asked, “Now?”
Hero couldn’t understand Franco’s surprise and asked, “Is there a problem?”
Franco pointed to the dark sky outside and said, “Hero, it’s 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 who’s also a girl?
“Do normal people have such thoughts? Have you not been hit on the head by the dormitory supervisor’s broom, and it didn’t sit well with you?”
Franco’s 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.
“Don’t 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.”
After hearing Franco’s suggestion, Hero, who was usually reserved and spoke very little, surprisingly responded, “Alright.”
Franco was once again shocked, as he didn’t expect Catherine to be so charming.
She even made Hero, who hardly talked to Franco, actively respond to him.
In Franco’s opinion, Hero’s strong desire to meet Catherine was mainly because he admired her exceptional gaming skills and wanted to have a friendly exchange.
To fulfill his roommate’s rare request, Franco informed the learning activities coordinator, a senior responsible for recruitment, to organize a friendly match to assess the club members’ skills.
Such activities were common, so it didn’t 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 wasn’t too heavy.
She had only one class in the morning, which was her second-period class.
After class, Amelia immediately bounced over to Catherine.
“Super Catherine, it’s almost 11 a.m. Let’s go to the cafeteria together. I heard the fifth cafeteria in our university is famous in the entire college town!”
Catherine had no objections. The choice of food wasn’t very important to her as long as it was clean and didn’t 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 Catherine’s direction with a warm smile.
“Catherine, I’m here!”
After seeing Ronin, Catherine knew that he had come to join her for lunch, so she mentioned Amelia’s suggestion.
“How about going to the fifth cafeteria together? Amelia said the food there is pretty good.”
Seeing Amelia present, Ronin had initially thought he wouldn’t have a chance to have lunch with Catherine.
He was pleasantly surprised that Catherine invited him. “Sure, Catherine! I’ve never eaten at the school cafeteria. Let’s go together!”
Watching Ronin’s excited expression when he saw Catherine, Amelia couldn’t help but envy their close relationship.
“Super 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!”
Amelia knew that Ronin was a few years younger than Catherine, and although they weren’t biological siblings, their bond was incredibly strong.
Ronin wasn’t 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.
“Let’s go quickly! I don’t want Catherine to go hungry!”
