“Nice to meet you,” Leon Batton said, reaching out to shake Alex’s hand.
The moon glowed brightly on this night, making Leon's skin seem particularly luminescent and smooth as the rays of moonlight shone on him.
It also made him appear cold and detached.
Alex shook his hand and asked, “You know me, don’t you?”
Leon nodded. “Yeah. You’re the god of Top Solo.”
Alex released his hand to scratch the back of his head awkwardly when he heard that. “That’s all in the past. I’m just an ordinary coach now.”
“You’re not ordinary. You’re the best coach in the League of Legends' circle,” the teenager stated.
Who could be as good as Alex in the entire League of Legends' circle?
None of the other coaches in the eSports industry could be better than him.
Nobody had a more glorious past than Alex.
He was the first person to accomplish so much. Apart from being Team XS’s coach, he was also its current president.
He was only second to Xyla in the company’s hierarchy.
“You’re being too kind," Alex said with a wave of his hand. "Based on what I know, you’re an all-rounded casual player. You’re good in every role, I heard.”
“That’s too kind of you,” Leon replied.
“Not at all. Have you decided which role you’re going for? Our team currently lacks a good Top Solo. The existing player isn’t doing too well, I'm afraid.”
“In that case, I’ll go with Top Solo,” Leon answered eagerly.
Out of all five roles, Top Solo was his favorite.
“Great! Top Solo, it is," Alex nodded, feeling pleased. "Come with me, and I’ll introduce you to your teammates.”
He nodded obligingly and followed his new coach into the base.
He saw a spacious baroque-style living room as soon as he entered, not missing the huge swimming pool right in the middle of the same room.
He smiled and said sweetly, “Pleased to meet you. I’m Stewart, the Mid Solo player. My ID in the game is Jin.”
His smile was as sweet as honey, and his eyes were a unique crescent-shaped.
Leon recognized this guy, too. He was the world’s number one Mid Solo, whether in a group or as a solo player.
Other Mid Solo players feared him.
He immediately shook his hand. “The pleasure is mine.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another youngster with black hair approached him with an extended hand. “Hi. I’m Jonathan, the Top Solo player. My ID in the game is Jon.”
He also recognized him as the previous top-ranked Top Solo. Unfortunately, his performance had declined this year with inconsistent results.
There were times when he did shockingly well, but more often than most he’d appear somewhat terrible.
Leon nodded and shook his hand. “It's nice to meet you.”
