For the next week, Xu Nuan was busy with her group's schedule. It was a packed schedule with various variety show's guest appearances and photo shoots for the products that the girls are endorsing for.

She was busy to the point that she didn't even have the time to deal with Wang Meili who was avoiding her shadow. Since she lost the bet, she needs to fulfill her punishment and apologize to her and the girls.

However, she was doing her best to avoid her, bumping into her into the office. Normally, she would have followed her to her grave for her to apologize, but she was too busy to that at this moment.

It doesn't mean that she was letting this opportunity go by. She was postponing it. One has to fulfill the punishment if they make a bet, she will not let anyone ruin the game.

She picked up her black mask and a cap to cover herself before leaving the house. "Let's go and end this game!!" She took a deep breath and said out loud before leaving walking out and locking the door behind.

Xin Lin University -

Gu Xingren entered the university auditorium hall through the entrance gate while holding her books in one hand and her small-cute backpack on her back. She was wearing a baggy-fluffy pink sweater with a short-tennis skirt, with her chestnut-brown, shoulder-length hair falling loose on her shoulder, giving her youthful college girl vibes.

The auditorium was large and spacious, with numerous seats for students and faculty. On the stage, eight gaming systems were arranged for the participants of the competition. After the selection process, only eight participants have been finalized for this match.

It was her first time attending an event at the university. It's been only a few months since her term started and she was busy helping Gu Zhang with office work and doing assignments during that time. She never attended any event since her college-life started.

She was trying to make her position in the company as she doesn't want to lose her position to Xu Nuan. However, she has heard that Xin Lin holds the Esports competition once in two years and the competition is not only popular among the youth but many investors and businessmen also come as guests.

The winner of the competition gets prize money and if lucky, they even get scouted by the businessmen to play their games for marketing purposes. For the growth of the gaming industry, Esports is flourishing at running speed.

Esports is like a tradition of the college and was popular among the other universities for the same reason as well.

She took a seat in the second row with her friends and placed her bag on the lap. There was an expectant smile on her face, as she waited for the thrilling match to start.

-

The show started and the host of the event introduced the respected guests to everyone and gave his opening comment, followed by applause. He looked at the audience and announced, " Now let's welcome the heroes of our event, the participants of the Game - Kingdom Guards!"

The whole auditorium burst into applause as they welcomed the participants. Xu Nuan was wearing black loose trousers and a black t-shirt with a black leather jacket, covering her face with a mask and a cap walked up the stage and greeted the audience wight, everyone.

She doesn't want to reveal her identity to everyone as she is not only Xu Nuan but also a manager of The Knights which gathers quite an attraction to her. Also, the winners of the game only get the prize money, but her goal was different.

Her goal was to get into this college and shut the mouth of those who treat her lowly just because of her low educational background.

As she was trying to stay low, and not gather attention, she receives the most attention because of her quirky sense of fashion. Everyone in the audience whispered seeing her unusual all-black outfit.

She didn't give heed to anyone's whispering but couldn't help but raise brows when she saw Xingren in the crowd. She wasn't aware that Xingren also goes to this college, if she had known, she would have tried to get into it earlier. How can she leave this opportunity to play with her favorite pastime?

She doesn't like Xu Nuan's family but she feels great pleasure in teasing Xingren and when she pulls her hair in frustration. It gives her immense pleasure. Her lips curled into a smirk as she saw an opportunity to tease Xingren in the future.

' Xingren, watch carefully!! Your bad-luck is coming soon!'

-

" The rules are simple. There will be two teams, blue and green with 4 members each. They will have a match and the winning team will play another match out of which we will have our winner. Simple, isn't it?"

" Participants, please take your seats." The host looked at the participants and told them to take their systems.

Xingren watched as everyone took their seats. Her gaze was fixated on the participant who has quite a flashy fashion. That participant stood out too much among all the participants that she couldn't take her eyes off him.

-

The match soon started. Xu Nuan was in the blue team which was led by the man with the pseudonym 'Aurora'. There were five rounds in the game, out of which three has to be won to win the match.

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and concentrated on the match. The game was newly launched and in the last week, she has played it a few times and has got a hang of it.

Since she always plays alone, she always wins. But since they are a team, even though she survives and the other dies, she loses the game. She gritted her teeth when she realized that they had lost two matches already.

" It's okay guys. We just have to win this match to turn the table. We still have three chances to win." The man 'Aurora' who had attracted most of the women from the audience with his alluring looks announced.

The man was tall and his long nose bridge enhances his other facial features. His lean, muscular body has gained praises from the women who are swooning over him since the match has started.

His leadership quality and the way he speaks has made everyone a fan of him, only if he has won the rounds, it would be perfect.

Xu Nuan scoffed hearing his words, which caught the attention of the man. He glanced her way and frowned. Since she was dressed as a man, her nonchalant and indifferent behavior annoyed the other participants.

The third match started and when the enemies started to gather them again, Xu Nuan lost her cool. The instructions that aurora was giving them will not do any good but will only make them lose the game.

And she isn't in the position to lose the game. She gritted her teeth and turned on her headset for the first time since she got on the stage.

She didn't even respond to the host when he asked questions about her flashy fashion and was quiet all this while.

" Everyone stop where you are. Don't do anything and just listen to my instructions and follow if you want to win. And I am not in a mood to lose right now!" She said coldly, making all the teammates' eyes widen in shock.

'She is a girl?'
