41: That's Triple X!

That's Triple X!

The students who were watching couldn't help but pity the first-year students.

The players had already set up their phones.

When Cheng Jiayi's account was shown on screen, several gasped could be heard from the crowd.

"Did my eyes just play tricks on me or there is really a red marked 'BURNINGBOW' on Cheng Jiayi's game name?"

"What does that mean if she has that? I'm not familiar with this game." A student asked towards her classmate.

"On the side of the game name is their guild or like a team. If it is color red then it is an official e-sports team."

"So the rumors about her being recruited by her cousin's team is true?"

"I thought if a player is recruited they should be trained first?"

"Oh, that's because Burning Bow is currently without a player for their Tournament in the next half month due to one of their member retiring."

"It's possible that Cheng Jiayi has already received training for the team during the past few months."

"Gosh, Cheng Jiayi truly managed to balance her schoolwork and gaming while still excelling in both!"

"Not to mention she's also a member of the Student Council. She must have a packed schedule everyday."

The students gawked at Cheng Jiayi who were already on the stage.

"Cheng Jiayi should be our School Beauty, that girl is everything!"

Not only is her background prominent, she is smart, talented and beautiful as well!

"Yeah, I was against the results of the voting when the girl from Class Six won instead before."

"Anyway, three months is up, let's crown her as our School Beauty."

"But... Jiang Yue is more beautiful than any of them though..."

"Jiang Yue might win in terms of beauty but we should judge the person as a whole."

"Then what's the point of calling it 'School Beauty'?"

"..."

"Might as well call it 'School's Best Student'."

"..."

The game finally started with the shout casters introducing the players.

Almost all of the male students who plays the game screamed for Cheng Jiayi when the casters first presented her.

They never imagined having an e-sports athlete as a schoolmate!

"Cheng Jiayi is the ace for Class One's team and Cao Wuhan for Clean Slayers team!"

The fact that Cheng Jiayi participated in their team as the ace astonished the students even more because Rule in Rivalry is a game that is primarily played by men.

The shout casters announced the players chosen heroes and positions.

There are three rounds to the game, and each round's victor is the team who destroys the opposing side's base first.

The game will be won by the team that wins both rounds.

Cheng Jiayi lead her team all through out the game.

They won the first round and second round as well, so there was no need for the third round.

The first-year students who just lost were delighted that they had the opportunity to compete against an e-sports player rather than being resentful of their defeat.

The third set of game were Jiang Yue's team against third-year Class Nine's team.

When they were introduced, multiple students cheered their team, and when Jiang Yue was introduced, the scream wasn't any less than Cheng Jiayi.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but raise her brow at this.

She never imagined that she'll get this famous in their school in just less than a week.

"Who wants to be the ace?" She asked towards her other members and they all stared dumbfounded at her.

"You're not playing as the ace?"

The ace position is usually the one who carries or control the flow of the whole game.

"Anyone can be the ace, I'll just take whatever position is left."

She could still carry the game whatever position she takes.

Kang Jinhai knew her capabilities very well so he said, "Then I'll be the ace!"

After they discussed their positions, their account were finally shown on the screen.

The students weren't that excited as they watched the match between the two teams.

However, a student suddenly stood up as he exclaimed, "Does one of the player has a game name of 'Triple X'?"

"I think so? It has three X after all," His classmates answered.

Jiang Xiu's account name was 'XXX'.

"Yeah, that's Jang Xiu from Team Nice, why? You look so shocked."

The boy grabbed his phone as he scrolled through the game as though his life depended on it.

Then he shouted when he finally confirmed it, "Freakin' hell... That's Triple X! The twenty-third player on the worldwide leaderboard! That player is a veteran!"

"The what?"

The boy shoved the phone to his classmate's face which he grabbed as well.

"Are you fuckin' serious?"

"Maybe they just have the same game name?"

He answered with full certainty, "No, once a game name is taken it can't be used by another player. I'm sure that's his account! Does that mean Jiang Xiu is Triple X?"

"So she's much better at the game than that Cheng Jiayi?"

"Of course, that's Triple X! Cheng Jiayi might have still been learning multiplication by the time Triple X dominated the game with a perfect win rate until today! Aside from Triple Z, no one had ever achieved that!"

"What the heck? There's another Triple? Are they the same person?"

Another classmate who had played the game for years already, gawked at him, "You don't know Triple Z?"2

"No, I just started playing the game months ago."

"I don't think so," The boy furrowed his brows as he hesitating shook his head, "Triple Z dominated the game first before Triple X. He took the first place in the worldwide leaderboard because of his numbers of matches and he never lost even one game. Triple X, on the other hand, although he has a perfect win rate too, he remained in the twenty-third place because his matches are far behind than other players. So he or she must have just followed the game name idea. Besides, Triple Z created a trend with that kind of name."

Now there is DD, Y, CCCC and so on.

"Holy shit, to think that a worldwide ranker is playing in a school tournament is... baffling."

"So Jiang Xiu is really Triple X? If she is then I'll let her autograph the back of my phone!"

The students focused on the match now that they've known about the background of Jiang Xiu's account.

However, they noticed something weird.

Jiang Xiu appears to be inexperienced at using the hero she chose.

And Triple X is one of the players who are good in using all heroes.
