Chapter 386 Victory

Coincidentally, Isabelle was adept at dealing with arrogant people. 

“If you can find a single flaw in my code within thirty minutes, I’ll count it as your win,” Isabelle declared. 

Her words were broadcasted through the electronic screen, reaching every ear in the audience. 

A member of the audience couldn’t help but murmur, “I adore how cocky she is!” 

Such humiliation was unbearable for Neil 

When he saw Humbert’s persistent gaze, Neil swallowed his pride and accepted the degrading terms of the competition. 

Humbert had told him about the dormitory buildings as the stakes of the match and had offered various incentives and promises to ensure Neil gave it his all. 

He couldn’t afford to lose. 

Neil withdrew his gaze and refocused on his screen. 

The audience realised that Neil had just lost the first round. 

The room buzzed with chatter. 

The students from Taragon University were not surprised, while those from Sagefield were stunned. 

Neil, a freshman, had already established himself in Sagefield with his skills. 

Magnus reassured, “Principal Brown, don’t worry. Let’s follow Isabelle’s suggestion. If you can find a flaw within thirty minutes, you win.” 

Humbert arrogantly refused. “There’s no need for that.” 

Despite his words, he secretly hoped that Neil could reverse the situation. 

After all, four dormitory buildings were at stake. 

“Do you think Neil can find the flaw in thirty minutes?” 

“For some reason, I want to see him lose. It’s not that I’m a Sagefield traitor; I just love my country tool much.” 

“When you put it that way, I also want to see him lose. I watch ‘Wolf of Chesian‘ every day. If anyone messes with Cheshian, even if it’s my own father, I’ll make him pay.” 

“I also hope Isabelle wins. It’s purely patriotism, not because Mr. George is so handsome.” 

The audience fixated on the big screen, their anticipation rising–not for Neil’s potential comeback but for 

his defeat. 

They were secretly delighted when Neil struggled.

As Neil struggled, Sagefield students unknowingly started rooting for Taragon, leaving only Humbert and the school leaders silently cheering for Neil, their palms sweaty with anxiety. 

Five minutes passed, and Neil had only typed twice. 

Ten minutes passed, and his fingers hovered above the keyboard, frozen. 

sweat as 

Fifteen minutes passed, and Neil remained still. His face was drenched in everyone watched in silence. 

Neil swallowed hard, aimlessly hitting keys like a headless chicken. 

After two or three minutes of futile effort, Neil seemed to deflate, losing all his drive. 

He finally gave up. 

He slumped in his chair, his face pale, and breathed heavily as if exhausted, sweat dripping into his eyes, stinging them painfully. 

Humbert’s heart sank. 

They had lost. 

Neil looked at Isabelle with a mix of frustration and unwillingness to admit his defeat. 

“How long have you been studying computer science?” he asked, trying to find a reason to rationalise his failure. 

Isabelle’s reply was infuriatingly casual, saying, “I only started in my senior year of high school.” 

George chuckled softly from the sidelines. 

Dylan noted, That’s a really killer response. I’ll jot it down! Today is bright and sunny. My idol is as ruthless as ever 

Given the circumstances, shouldn’t she reveal her true identity? Shocking them would be so satisfying! 

Dylan longed to see that. 

In the near future, when Dylan’s wish came true, he’d look back on this moment and think: This small event wasn’t even worthy of my idol’s grand reveal. 

Neil lost his composure and shouted, “This is impossible!” 

Isabelle continued calmly, “The boy you competed with a few days ago is my brother. He started learning computers in his junior year and has only seriously studied it for one summer.”
