Chapter 53
Yvette had single–handedly wiped out the enemy
my team in just
five minutes. Sean’s teammates couldn’t contain their amazement over the mic.
“Sean, what’s going on? You’re playing like a god!”
“Yeah, seriously! Five kills in five minutes–what a rampage!
Though Sean was usually impressive, he had never performed this spectacularly.
Sean stared at the screen in shock as he had just exited the bathroom. Then, pride swelled in his chest as he announced, “That five–kill streak was thanks to my sister, Yvie. Pretty impressive, huh?”
“Wow! Sean,
1, your s
sister is a natural talent. Why don’t we recruit Yvie into our team?”
“Who gave you permission to call her ‘Yvie‘?” Sean snapped, cutting them off “She’s my sister. If I hear you call her that again, I’ll give you a piece of my mind next time I see you!”
Yvette was his sister, and only he had the privilege to address her that way.
“Wait a second! Yvie, why do your moves seem so familiar?” Sean seemed to realize something.
Yvette blinked innocently and said firmly, “I doubt it. You must be imagining things.”
“Am I?” Sean asked skeptically.
Yvette nodded confidently. “Yes. You’re probably just exhausted from all the training,” she insisted.
Sean scratched his head, looking puzzled. “You’re right. I must be too tired from training…”
Yvette let out a sigh of relief, seeing Sean buy her excuse. That was a close one. She almost blew her cover!
But then, realization dawned on Sean. A light bulb went off in his head.
He finally understood why Yvette’s voice sounded so familiar. In fact, it was strikingly s
similar to Rebir’s.
Moreover, Yvette and Rebir shared a similar demeanor–they were both quiet and reserved. Most telling of all, whenever Yvette got serious, she exuded a familiar, intimidating pressure.
It all clicked! Could Yvette actually be the legendary Esports player, Rebir?
Noticing Sean’s suspicious gaze, Yvette decided it was time to leave before he figured out too much.
Meanwhile, Yasmin, who had been lurking by the stairs to see Yvette humiliated, finally saw her coming out of Sean’s room.
She approached Yvette to mock her, but she was stunned when Sean followed. Sean’s genuine happiness caught Yasmin off guard. It was not the reaction she had anticipated,
Yasmin’s smug smile froze. How could this be? Yvette had just interrupted Sean’s training, so why does he seem even closer to her now?
The next day marked Yvette’s first day at Jubilife University. Irwin and Yara insisted on driving her to campus, so Yvette couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
“Mom, Dad, I’m old enough to get to school on my own,” Yvette reiterated. She didn’t want to be treated like a child anymore.
Reluctantly, Irwin and Yara gave in to Yvette’s request.
“Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. I’ll take Yvette to campus,” Sean offered, slinging a bag over his shoulder. His youthful energy was palpable, and his face was bright with determination.
Despite Yvette’s refusal to admit she was the Esports prodigy, Rebir, Sean remained convinced.
