Chapter 26 The Game Begins!
After introducing the rules, Kelly asked the mentors from eight schools. to draw lots.
There were men and women in this group of mentors, and they were all of high age. Among them, the most well-dressed and refreshed one was Jackson.
Ronin looked old on crutches, and his grey hair was scattered casually over his shoulders.
At first glance, it was hard to imagine that these two were about the
same age.
Before reaching the draw box, Jackson walked towards Ronin and opened his arms generously with a warm attitude, “My old friend, long time no see. How are you doing recently?”
The word “friend” stung Ronin, and the unbearable past flashed through his mind quickly.
His face was livid. He walked over to Jackson on crutches and went to draw lots with shaking hands.
He remembered that the mentor of LWHS was someone else. Why would Jackson appear here?
Jackson sighed and said in an aggrieved tone, “Look at you, you’re still angry that I didn’t let you draw in the game, right?
“Didn’t I explain it? That game was also very important to me. You couldn’t ask me to lose to you on purpose, right?”
His voice was so loud that the audience could hear it.
Those who didn’t know the inside story all thought that Ronin couldn’t
beat Jackson in the game and selfishly wanted his good friend to sacrifice himself to have a draw with him.
His best friend didn’t want to, so Ronin held a grudge against Jackson to this day.
Everyone looked at Ronin with contempt and disdain.
Mr. Jones doesn’t care about the past and calls your friend and hugs you, but you ignore him. You deserve a miserable life!
In the LWHS student team, a boy raised his middle finger to the students of Lowell High School, which made Lowell High School unhappy.
“Oh, forget it. Things can’t be forced.” Jackson sighed and went to draw lots. He said with a hidden sharpness in his eyes, “I didn’t expect that after so many years, the game between us will change from a chessboard to students. I really can’t wait to meet Lowell High School and see who wins and who loses!”
The draw was over.
Kelly announced the results. In the first round, Lowell High School and LWHS wouldn’t play against each other.
Lowell High School vs. Jefferson High School.
LWHS vs. Abraham Lincoln High School.
The game started on the huge playground, and more than a hundred chess games were played at the same time.
“Checkmate.” Some students quickly won and earned points.

Some students were thinking hard, scratching their heads, wondering what to do next.
For Lowell High School, Gloria scored the first point for the school.
There was warm applause from the stands, which was inspiring.
This game was the home court of Lowell High School, and all the students of Lowell High School were watching the game, so their reaction was naturally a little bigger than that of other schools.
This was the advantage of playing at home.
In the same way, losing a home game would be more upsetting and embarrassing.
Hedy’s opponent was a cute round-faced girl.
Hedy moved the chess piece to complete the first step, pressed the chess clock, and waited for the round-faced girl to parry.
The round-faced girl smiled sweetly and was about to play chess when her phone rang.
When she picked up the phone, her expression changed drastically, “What? Potato chips are half- priced in the supermarket, and buy one get one free for Coke? I’ll be right over!”
The round-faced girl ran out of the playground, apologizing as she ran, “Mentor, I’ve got to go. We can’t win Lowell High School anyway. Bye!”
The referee came over, looked at the chess game with only one move, picked up the loudspeaker, and shouted,
“Lowell High School, Hedy wins and gets one point.”
Chapter 26 The Game Begins!
Hedy was stunned.
Jefferson High School students were also stunned.
The audience froze too.
As the round-faced girl said, Jefferson High School was no match for Lowell High School in terms of overall strength and fell behind in points.
Even if she didn’t leave and beat Hedy, she wouldn’t be able to make any difference with the point she gained.
In this round, Jefferson High School lost. Lowell High School won, entering the second round.
In the next game, LWHS led by Vincent also defeated Abraham Lincoln High School at a very fast speed and made it to the next round. with a landslide victory.
The mentor of Abraham Lincoln High School comforted his students, “Don’t be discouraged. They were taught by Mr. Jones, and they are strong enough to win the championship. You are already very good.”
When Hedy left the chess arena and passed by Gloria, Gloria
sarcastically said, “Good luck! But what are you going to do in the next round?”
She had thought that the first round would make Hedy show her true face.
But Hedy’s opponent ran away, and Hedy scored one point without doing anything, and won the game.
But Hedy couldn’t always be so lucky, could she?
“Just mind your own business.” Hedy stopped, tilted her head slightly,

and squinted at Gloria out of the corner of her eye, “Or, you want me. to deal with you.”
Her patience was limited, and she would not allow Gloria to pick on her again and again.
Gloria got angry, “I’ll see how crazy you can be!”
The second round of draws began. Lowell High School and LWHS weren’t going to play against each other.
Lowell High School vs. San Francisco International High School.
LWHS vs. San Francisco Waldorf High School.
This round of competition was a little more exciting than the previous round.
It took Gloria seven minutes to beat her opponent and score the first point for Lowell High School.
“Gloria is the best!” In the auditorium, her fans shouted.
Hedy’s opponent was a dimpled boy.
The dimpled boy took a move first and pressed the chess clock, “Please.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Hedy moved the chess piece and was about to press the chess clock when the dimpled boy’s cell phone rang.
When he answered the phone, his expression changed drastically, “What? Our old sow has given birth to nine piglets. I’ll be right over!”
The dimpled boy ran out of the playground, apologizing as he ran, “Mentor, I’ve got to go. We can’t win Lowell High School anyway. Bye!”

The referee came over, looked at the chess game with only two moves, picked up the loudspeaker, and shouted, “Lowell High School, Hedy wins and gets one point.”
Hedy was stunned.
Students at San Francisco International High School were stunned.
The audience was stunned too.
Just as the dimpled boy said, although San Francisco International High School had strength, it still lost to Lowell High School and fell behind in points by a large margin.
Lowell High School won and advanced to the final.
LWHS also defeated San Francisco Waldorf High School without any suspense and entered the final.
The mentor of San Francisco Waldorf High School came to comfort, “Don’t be angry. You met Mr. Jones’ students and it’s normal to lose.”
“Mentor, I’m not mad at losing to LWHS. I’m mad at her!” A boy pointed to Hedy, “Why can she win twice in a row without doing anything?!”
He couldn’t accept it!
When Hedy left the chess arena this time, Gloria learned her lesson and didn’t talk nonsense to provoke.
She was really afraid that if she talked too much, Hedy would beat her up!
She could only cry out in her heart.
Hedy, lucky you in the second round!
Chapter 26 The Game Reginat
Into the finals, when you’re playing against LWHS, I’ll see how you can go on with your “good luck”!
The game came to the final round.
Lowell High School VS Lick Wilmerding High School.
The chess arena was emptied, leaving only twenty tables for playing chess.
“Oh, we’re finally going to meet.” In the mentors’ area, Jackson leaned on the chair, cating an orange, relaxing comfortably.
Ronin tensed his body and sat upright looking at the chess arena.
During the game, he had been paying attention to the strength of the students at Lick Wilmerding High School.
He was sure that Lick Wilmerding High School was better than Lowell High School. Gloria was no match for Vincent and others.
Jackson had probably traveled abroad a lot these years, playing against the world’s top chess players to gain experience.
And he… could only play chess with himself at Lowell High School…
Lowell High School was bound to lose. No, Lowell High School wouldn’t necessarily lose!
Ronin blinked and fixed his eyes on Hedy who was taking the stage.
She was playing for Lowell High School!
