"You joined Team Yole, right? Yes. He used to be a student here, but he graduated a long time ago."
"Is he still in the industry?"
"As far as I know, no. With his family background, he couldn't possibly stay with Team Hone."
Noelle realized that King probably came from a wealthy family. After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Samuel.
"Noelle, you have quite a talent for gaming. If you want to join the team in the future officially, I believe you can make it."
"Thank you."
"Is your reason for joining the team just for fun, or do you have other plans?"
"I want to join the national team!" That was one of Noelle's goals.
Samuel's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. Did she say she wanted to join the national team? How naive she was—getting into the national team wasn't so easy. However, he didn't show it on the surface.
"That's a great dream, but you'll need to work hard for it. Make sure to come for training regularly."
She nodded obediently. "I understand."
"Noelle, would you like to go out tonight? I can show you around."
"No thanks. I have something to do tonight."
"Don't misunderstand. It's a welcome dinner for the recruits. You just became a reserve player; it wouldn't be right for you not to go."
Noelle reluctantly agreed. That evening, she went with the gaming club members to the dinner location. When she arrived, she was surprised to find they were at a bar.
Samuel looked at her. "It's your first time here, right? Don't be scared. I'll look out for you."
"Wow. Samuel is playing the hero now."
