My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1847

Gary looked at his brother with sympathy in his eyes. His brother still believed that he and Nicole were evenly matched in their capabilities. In fact, he had even conceived of the possibility of defeating Nicole.

On the other hand, Gary thought that his brother was rather pitiful.

With a sigh, he cracked the program, stood up, and patted Ryder in the shoulder. "Rest in peace."

Ryder froze, not understanding what Gary had meant. Off stage, Mr. Zach watched as they all entered the next round and issued a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he noticed Nicole, and as they were exiting the stage, he walked over to them and said, "It's great that you're able to enter the next round. Good luck! Don't give up!"

Nicole looked at Mr. Zach. 'This teacher is from the university department, and he's probably Stanley's homeroom teacher.'

She had a favorable impression of his friendly demeanor. "Thank you, sir."

In response, Mr. Zach smiled. "No worries. That's the least I can do for you."

At the same time, Mr. Hardy also walked over to welcome Zeke, and as he had overheard the conversation between them, chuckled, "Well, aren't you self-aware? A teacher like you won't be able to create any good students."

Mr. Zach's expression darkened, after which he spun around and glared at Mr. Hardy. "Why are you everywhere?!"

Mr. Zach had no intention of arguing with this rogue, but then, the latter had approached him for a jibe on his own volition anyway.

Nicole's expression quickly took a turn for the gloomy as well.

Seeing that Mr. Zach was defenseless against Mr. Hardy, she coldly retorted, "Mr. Zach is our school's honored teacher. The president of the student council and the student who always gets first place in the entire grade is from his class. Can you say the same for your class, Mr. Hardy?"

Mr. Hardy was stunned. Being dissed by a student was the last thing he could see coming. He instinctively wanted to fight back. However, he was also forced to realize that his class had no extraordinary students. That was why he cared so much for Zeke. As a gifted student, Zeke had made quite a name for himself.

Nicole had already guessed what the situation was from the get go. A teacher from Northon Institute who was so concerned about a competition such as this had likely exposed the fact that his students could not shine in their main subjects. Therefore, he had to take a different approach.

"What the matter? Are you too perplexed to speak up?" Nicole sneered. "Every man has his merits. Take Mr. Zach for example. He is an excellent teacher, but not a great debater. You, on the other hand, seem to all bark and no bite."
