Chapter 337: Chapter 310: Chess Competition (3rd update)

After stepping out of the classroom, George Howard immediately expressed his intentions.

"Chloe Stephens, Cecilia Taylor had previously taken up a task but suddenly transferred schools and left. We can’t find anyone in our class to replace her, so the headteacher thought of you. Do you think you could participate in this Olympiad on behalf of Cecilia Taylor?"

"Our Stephens family has a rule that we can’t leave Sheffield City temporarily, so I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you."

Usually, this kind of Olympiad requires traveling to other provinces or countries.

Chloe’s response made George doubt the credibility of her statement.

"As long as it’s within Sheffield City, I can participate."

"At present, there isn’t any relevant Olympiad in Sheffield City..." George didn’t give up, "Chloe Stephens, if you have any difficulties, please don’t hesitate to mention them. The teacher will definitely do his best to help you."

"For the next year, our Stephens family indeed has such a rule. It’s a family rule, and it cannot be broken."

This was a good excuse to refuse.

George Howard: "..."

Still suspicious.

But since the student has already refused, he couldn’t force her to participate.

"Headteacher, I’ll do it," Daniel Lynch’s voice came from behind.

"You?" George Howard worriedly asked, "Is your body okay?"

"Headteacher, my body is fine, I can jump and run. Besides, I’m also a member of the class officers, so I can’t just stand behind and cheer."

George Howard nodded with a smiling face, "Good job! You will lead the way from now on!"

On the way back to the classroom.

Chloe said, "You still shouldn’t be too active with your body."

"As long as I don’t use my cultivation, it won’t be a problem. Or do you want to help with this and take this Olympiad?"

"You won’t die for sure, I have medicine, and I won’t let you fall, I trust you."

"..."

As soon as they entered the classroom, Abigail Wilson anxiously grabbed Chloe’s hand, "Chloe, do you know any chess experts who are very good at playing?"

"What’s wrong?" Daniel Lynch asked.

"The student who previously signed up for the Sheffield Chess Tournament suddenly had an emergency at home and withdrew from the competition."

"It’s just a chess match, if they withdrew, then they withdrew."

"That’s not the problem. Our Class 11 invested some funds and competed with other classes. If we give up now, won’t we be telling others that our Class 11 has been defeated without a fight? Besides, the headteacher also cares a lot about this chess match, and there’s a USD 250,000 reward for the first place..."

"When is it?" Chloe asked.

"Tomorrow morning, held within Sheffield City."

"I’ll do it."

"Huh?"

*

Alex Stephens played a match with Filbert Fisher, and that relieved him a lot.

In the evening, as soon as Chloe came back, Alex couldn’t help but tell her what had happened today.

"Now you’ve only narrowly won, next time he will definitely show a better performance."

"Next time, I’ll also make progress too."

Alex didn’t want to fall behind others.

Chloe handed him another secret manual, "Practice for the next two days, then go challenge again. When you fight with him, there’s no need to be polite."

Alex took it and went upstairs, not even eating dinner.

Sheffield City Stadium.

There are four large halls in the stadium, East, West, South, and North. The chess competition was held in the East Hall.

Knowing that Chloe had participated in the chess match, George finally felt reassured.

Classmates in the same class had never seen Chloe play chess, and when they heard that she was going to substitute, they didn’t say anything, but they doubted Chloe’s chess skills.

The school competed in the women’s team event.

There was another male student from Class 11 participating in the men’s team event.

Chloe and the male student entered the arena together.

On the other side.

Among the people entering the arena, there were students from Class 10.

Seeing Oliver Gordon in Class 10, Elijah Clarke touched Chloe, "It’s Oliver Gordon."

Oliver Gordon was standing there with another girl.

The girl was wearing a black suit, looking tall and slender, and had a somewhat capable temperament.

The two of them standing together seemed quite compatible.

Chloe glanced at them lightly and did not look at them again.

"I didn’t expect him to come this time. He also participated in the international math competition."

Elijah Clarke suspected that Oliver came because Chloe was here.

The girl standing next to Oliver came over.

"Chloe." She stretched out her hand, "I’m Winnie Weston from Class 10."

From the Weston family?

Chloe slightly nodded her head.

Winnie Weston stretched out her hand to Elijah Clarke, who shook hands briefly.

"There are only a few of us participating in the Go competition from our First Middle School, so I hope we can stick together until the final match." Winnie Weston looked at Chloe, "I’m also looking forward to our showdown in the individual competitions in the future."

As expected from a prestigious family, their temperament and demeanor were extraordinary.

With a faint smile, she turned and went back to Oliver Gordon’s side.

Oliver Gordon just stood there and didn’t come over.

At this time in the chess room.

The person in charge of the Sheffield Go Tournament walked in with a smile, "Old Master Dawson!"

Bob Dawson stood up.

"Welcome!"

Bob Dawson was already over fifty years old, but his eyes were still full of vitality, and he didn’t seem old at all, even showing a vaguely youthful trend.

Bob Dawson was a Go expert and also practiced ancient martial arts.

That’s why he looked younger in age.

"I came here to see if there are any good talents."

"The participants in this competition are all from Sheffield high schools, and they are in line with the standard for you to take on apprentices, Master Dawson. I also have a particularly suitable candidate. I wonder if you have time to meet them first?" The person in charge asked with a smile.

Bob Dawson frowned slightly but still said, "Let them come and meet me."

In a short while, a girl dressed in sportswear walked in from outside. She had fair skin, a beautiful appearance, and a strong youthful aura.

At first glance, she looked very comfortable.

"This is Miss Corin from Third Middle School. Master Dawson, please have a look at her!" The person in charge introduced with a smile.

A member of the Fisher family!

Bob Dawson couldn’t help but look at Corin in front of him.

"Old Master Dawson, greetings! I am Corin from the senior high second year of Third Middle School. I have some research on Go, but I always feel that I lack something so I asked someone to find a strict teacher for me!"

Bob Dawson said, "There are so many people outside waiting, and the competition is about to start. You should finish this competition first, and we’ll talk about the apprenticeship later."

This was a direct rejection of Corin’s backdoor approach.

Corin smiled faintly, understanding Bob Dawson’s meaning.

*

After stepping out, the person in charge tried to please her, "Miss Corin..."

"It’s okay, I can use my strength to defeat everyone and prove my abilities to Master Dawson. This kind of thing does indeed require strength. Without strength, even if the teacher is very skilled, the student won’t be able to learn properly."

The person in charge nodded, "Miss Corin is right. This time there are many rookie freshmen participating in the competition. I believe that with Miss Corin’s chess skills, you will definitely make it straight to the finals."

Corin said, "If I didn’t have confidence, I wouldn’t be standing here."

Corin walked out, and there were 20 minutes left before the start of the competition for everyone to prepare.

Corin stood in front of the aisle, seeing Chloe in front of her, she raised her eyebrows, "Is she from First Middle School?"

The person in charge followed her gaze and nodded, "Yes, she’s from First Middle School. After losing last year, they gave up on the chess competition this year and casually sent a senior one student to come."

Corin didn’t care much, but felt the girl standing there looked familiar.

Where had she seen her before?
