Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 1017

She blinked, then replied, "Trinity School."

"Wow! Zac was also from Trinity School. This means that you two are about to become alumni of the same school!" The rest echoed.

In order to leave a good impression of himself on Cheryl, Lionel sang Zac's praises. "Do you know? Zac almost topped the college entrance examination in your school, but there was a mutant in your school that year who got a perfect score on the exam... But this doesn't matter; what matters is that Zac legitimately enrolled in Harvard through the college entrance examination. If you stay here and ever need help with your studies, you can just approach him!"

Lionel patted his chest and added, "Zac almost got a perfect score in Mathematics in the college entrance examination, you know! He's unbelievable! God C, do you want to know how to get an almost perfect score in Mathematics? If you do, you can ask the captain to explain it to you!"

Cheryl:"?"

She was stunned for a moment. After thinking briefly, she answered seriously, "Is it by solving one fewer multiple-choice question?"

Everyone:"?"

Lionel: "???"

What did she mean by solving one fewer question?!

What he'd meant to express was that it was impressive how Zac had achieved a near-perfect score in mathematics, but why was God C's response making it seem like she was a star student?

The corners of Zac's lips spasmed.

Suddenly, he found the kid in front of him pretty cute.

Still, he hesitated for a moment before he looked at the coach. "When our team was recruiting, we had stated that candidates must be at least high school graduates. Never mind that she's a minor; after all, there are players who started playing professionally when they were only 16. Is she going to be a pro player when she hasn't even finished high school, though?"

He broke into a frown and his tone turned serious, completely forgetting that the cute Cheryl in front of him was God C. "This is not right," he said.

"How so?"

The coach said, "She has already graduated high school! She even took the college entrance examination this year!"

In recent years, the game industry had been growing more and more rapidly. Many teenagers addicted to the Internet wanted to become professional e-sports players, resulting in many children neglecting their studies and getting preoccupied with thoughts of dropping out of school to play games.

Thus, there was now a new rule in the professional league—one must finish at least high school or vocational school before they could pursue a career as a professional e-sports player.

This rule was passed for the good of the children.

Lionel was stunned. "How can that be? She's only fifteen!

Yet she has already taken the college entrance examination?"

Cheryl nodded.

Lionel found it a little incredulous. "You skipped a grade? Why?"

She had definitely skipped a grade.

Cheryl replied, "So that I could play games!"

Her parents had requested that she pass the college entrance examination before she started her career as a professional e-sports player, so Cheryl had to study as quickly as possible! If it wasn't for the fact that her brother was too demanding and insisted that she get a full score on the exam before she could skip a grade, she could even have taken the college entrance examination a year earlier!

Lionel suddenly understood something...

There were cases like this in the professional league too.

Some children had gaming talent, and ages between 16 to 22 were optimal for one to play professionally. To avoid letting those few years go to waste, parents of the really talented children would help them skip grades and graduate from high school as soon as possible so that they could compete.

A kid who joined the league this year had mediocre grades, yet he kept skipping grades in order to play professionally. After graduating from high school this year, he finally became an official player!

Thus, Lionel thought that Cheryl's case was a similar one...

He smiled and changed the subject. "Does this mean

you're not going to university?"

Cheryl shook her head again. "No, my parents requested that I go to university, but they have agreed to let me take a year off from school this year."
