Chapter 236
Ethan stared at Natalie Moore his eyes flickering with disbelief. He just could wrap his head around it. The girl standu in front of him was only a college freshman. Five years ago, she would’ve been jux thirteen or fourteen, practically a kid
No freaking way. There’s no chance Wrenz is just some thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl… Ethan thought, his mind reel
Meanwhile, Iris Rowan’s screen was gray. She was dead on the ground, her camera automatically following Natalie as she picked up a double kill.
Her fingers were still hovering over the keyboard, her mouth slightly open, her face frozen in shock.
How is that even possible? Iris thought, her mind spinning.
How did she pull off such a flawless combo? She didn’t even know how to play, right? Iris wondered, disbelief flooding he
Jp in the stands, people were already talking about Iris’s gameplay.
What’s that girl even doing? Did she try to steal a kill and get wiped out instead?”
Nah, she’s been feeding the enemy team since the start!”
I thought she was supposed to be the highest-ranked player on the physics team. Maybe her rank’s just boosted or omething?”
And in the next few minutes, things got even crazier. The crowd was stunned, and honestly, everyone felt sorry for the
hysics team for having to deal with Iris Rowan as their teammate.
ris was like a woman possessed, charging around the map, picking fights wherever she could.

fer plays got more reckless and aggressive by the minute. Her teammates couldn’t keep up, but she didn’t give a damn. Ski ust kept diving into the enemy team, feeding nonstop.
she single-handedly tanked the physics team’s morale. Her teammates were so tilted that their plays fell apart, and they kep making mistake after mistake
The chatter in the stands grew louder. “What the heck is Iris doing?”
Is she just feeding the enemy team?”
Does she even want to win? Is she some kind of mole planted by the athletics department?”
Everyone on the physics team was dumbfounded, but now wasn’t the time for blame. All they could do was frantically try to cover for the losses Iris had caused
Top lane was getting crushed, bot lane was barely hanging on, and the jungle was a lost cause. The only one not falling behind was Natalie in mid. She was even outpacing the enemy mid laner in last-hits.
Adriel sighed over voice chat, totally at a loss for words.
Adriel, head to top lane Ill handle things on Evan’s side, Natalie said, her voice cool and a bit impatient

Adriel hesitated for a moment, and Natalie continued, “The enemy jungler likes to camp bot lane, so rotate to top Let the support cover bot.”
“Nolan, stop invading their jungle and help with the counter-gank up top.”
That’s it.
Natalie gave clear instructions to everyone except Iris, assigning their roles in one go
Hearing Natalie’s voice, the other four felt strangely reassured. They knew they were doomed anyway, so they figured they might as well follow Natalie’s lead.
Iris died again. Her economy was shot, and she was mentally falling apart.
Listening to Natalie, Iris frowned impatiently, breathing hard in frustration.
How did it get this bad?’ Iris wondered, her mind spinning.
In the next few minutes, the physics team finally stabilized and got their game back under control.
Natalie kept the enemy mid laner in check, while Ethan and Nolan worked together to take the first top tower, pulling their eam ahead in gold.
When the enemy jungler tried to make a play bot, Natalie had already set up vision in the river, so the support pulled back ust in time, leaving the enemy with nothing to show for it.
During the first dragon teamfight, Natalie took command over voice chat. “Adriel, keep pushing your lane, stay out of the ight. Nolan, flank them from behind and wait for me to initiate.”/
Yes.”
Got it!” Adriel replied.
Copy that!” Nolan chimed in.
Natalie stunned the enemy ADC, and Adriel jumped in to finish them off, grabbing a double kill.
The physics team completely destroyed the enemy squad and claimed the dragon.
The crowd was hyped. “Natalie’s got some serious shot-calling skills!”
“Who was it that said Natalie was just coasting earlier?”
“Iris was throwing so hard, it was insane. If Natalie hadn’t stepped up and led, we’d have lost ages ago.”
As the game hit the mid-game, the physics team had already pulled ahead in gold.
Natalie’s build was complete, and her damage was absolutely insane.
The enemy tean kicked off a teamfight, and by the time Natalie rushed over, most of her teammates had already been wiped out. Adriel was barely hanging on, but his health bar was empty. He got instantly deleted as soon as he tried to fight
back.
One by one, the physics team’s icons faded out on the big screen.

was six versus pne. The sports team was untouched, all six of them still up, while Natalie’s mage was stranded at the base. all alone
Everyone was convinced Natalie was just going to get herself killed. ‘Come on, how could she possibly win a lv6? everyone thought.
No one believed the physics team could pull it off anymore. Even the commentator sounded pretty bummed. “Physics only has Natalie left, while the sports team still has a six up. Looks like… there’s no way they can hold this.”
The crowd let out a collective sigh. “Such a pity. Natalie was crushing it earlier.”
“What can you do? Her teammates kept throwing…”
Before anyone could finish, the game alerts exploded through the speakers:
‘First kill!”
‘Double kill!”
“Triple kill! Quadra kill!”
‘Penta kill!”
“Team wipe!”
Everyone was completely stunned. Nobody could even react. The next second, the victory screen flashed across the big display. Physics had actually won!
What?
Everyone was totally dumbfounded!
Game over.
The stats panel flashed across the big screen: Natalie accounted for 34% of the team’s total damage, was involved in 89% of their fights, had the highest kill count in the entire match, and never died once.
MVP, by a mile. It was a total blowout, no one else even came close.
Everything happened in a split second, and the whole stadium erupted in a deafening roar of disbelief.
“What just happened? How did we even win?”
