Chapter 338: Chapter 311: Sovereign Lone Shadow (4 more updates)

The teacher-in-charge of First Middle School approached, gathering them specifically to solemnly discuss matters and rules.

"The format adopted for this competition is the most complex one, a full team round-robin. I believe your headteachers must have already explained it to you beforehand."

After the leading teacher finished speaking, she first looked towards Winnie Weston.

Divided between males and females, there weren’t many team members. Whether they could win awards depended on everyone’s cooperation.

Additionally, there would be individual matches following this.

"Teacher, why would Sheffield use such a complex format? A full team round-robin wastes a lot of time..."

Winnie Weston couldn’t understand why Sheffield would adopt such an approach.

Since it was a team competition, they should have just used the total score of the team members.

Using a full team round-robin format made the competition more complicated.

Chloe Stephens had no objections to this.

"It’s said that it’s because Old Master Dawson, Chess Saint, personally came down to select players, which is why the format was changed, " the leading teacher also wanted to raise concerns, but such matters were not for teachers to decide.

"Old Master Dawson! It really is Old Master Dawson!" Winnie Weston, a chess fanatic, brightened up!

She appeared somewhat excited.

The leading teacher nodded, "Indeed, it’s Old Master Dawson. From the looks of it, he might be here to choose disciples."

Suddenly, Winnie Weston and a few others became excited.

The few girls who studied chess were driven by interest and reaching the highest realm was their dream.

Chloe Stephens looked towards Elijah Clarke on the other side.

Elijah Clarke said, "This Old Master Dawson is very famous in the chess world. It’s said that his chess hall is located in the deep mountains, housing many famous chess manuals..."

"Yes."

Chloe Stephens responded faintly.

She wasn’t interested in this person.

All she wanted was to quickly get on with the game.

The full team round-robin format meant that each of the women in the First Middle School team would play every member of another team, and then each member of the other team would play every member of theirs.

It was a rather complicated method.

"We are against the women’s Chess Club of Third Middle School, such bad luck."

Someone muttered quietly upon seeing the team lineup above.

The women’s chess team of Third Middle School was notoriously strong.

They clinched first place every year, in both team and individual matches.

So upon seeing the people from Third Middle School, their faces changed.

Winnie Weston snorted coldly, "How does being from Third Middle School matter? We still have to fight."

Chloe Stephens sat down.

Looking up, she could see the large screen in front, which captured the entire room in a 360-degree, no-blind-spot coverage.

A girl from Third Middle School nodded at Chloe Stephens before making the first move after the start.

After the opponent made the first move, Chloe Stephens already discerned the opponent’s strength.

As expected, not long into the round, the girl began sweating profusely.

She got nervous.

Meanwhile, the girl sitting in front kept a detached demeanor from start to finish.

The opponent lost.

Lost very quickly.

The girl from Third Middle School stood up with a pale face and looked deeply at Chloe Stephens.

Chloe Stephens then waited to change tables.

Teams of five.

Went around four times.

All four lost to Chloe Stephens.

Oliver Gordon couldn’t help but look over.

The movement in the arena was also noticed by everyone.

During the national live broadcast, someone recognized this aloof girl.

"Doesn’t this person look familiar?"

"Holy shit! It’s the little sister of the Stephens Family!"

"Chloe Stephens? How did we not notice her name just now?"

"Must be blind, definitely blind."

"I remember that Kelly Stephens also plays chess, she even self-titled as Chess Deity."

These remarks were full of mockery.

"Not surprisingly, the sisters share the same hobby."

"Why does it feel like Chloe Stephens wants to climb up using her sister’s fame?"

"Excuse me, but what does Kelly Stephens have that Chloe Stephens needs to borrow for fame? Seriously, can Kelly even compare to our Chloe in terms of beauty? She’s nothing."

"Show some decency, Kelly has already been forced off the stage. What more do you want?"

"Here they come, Kelly’s crazy fans are showing up again."

"Just sitting here waiting for the fight!"

"It’s clear that Chloe’s chess skills are superior! And her looks, absolutely stunning! She’s a heartbreaker for both men and women!"

Corin Fisher walked over and sat down in front, giving Chloe a slight nod in acknowledgment.

Another round of comments scrolled across the screen.

"It’s Corin Fisher! Facing Corin, this newbie Chloe will have to leave the stage."

"Not necessarily, laymen won’t understand, but experts can clearly see that Chloe is superior."

"They haven’t even played yet, and everyone is already rushing to predict the winner."

*

"Corin Fisher."

"Chloe Stephens."

Corin was quite surprised when he saw Chloe’s name.

He kept looking back at her during the match.

He found her different from what he had heard.

If he didn’t know she was from the Stephens Family, he might have doubted if they were the same person.

Chloe, hearing the Fisher Family member’s name, showed no reaction.

They began playing chess, speaking no further.

Corin watched Chloe’s moves and found she had no particular pattern; she didn’t seem to focus intensely on the board.

With each move, she acted as if victory was already in her grasp.

Her confidence, as if she wasn’t even considering them a challenge.

Corin felt the pressure from Chloe by the tenth move.

*

Backstage, Bob Dawson watched the girl’s every move with a penetrating gaze.

He was somewhat disappointed with Corin’s gameplay.

From the very first move, Corin was already losing.

The manager standing beside him also saw clearly that this girl, Chloe, consistently secured her victories against multiple opponents.

Each round, an assured win.

Her points were too high.

Chloe’s emergence as a dark horse put immense pressure on the subsequent players.

"Master Dawson, this..."

Bob lifted his hand, signaling the manager to keep quiet.

The manager signaled to someone nearby, who understood and then swiftly walked away, intending to suppress First Middle School’s score.

In the team competition, the total points determine the win or lose.

If subsequent players scored lower, they would lose.

Even if Chloe won against Corin, it would lead the team to lose the whole competition.

*

"Didn’t expect Chloe to be this formidable."

Elijah Clarke stood beside Oliver Gordon, suddenly speaking up.

Oliver kept his eyes on Chloe ahead; in the match, she seemed like a glowing entity, grabbing everyone’s attention.

This girl was supposed to be his.

But he lost her.

On the large screen, the girl leaned back, looking ahead at Corin.

She moved her hand for the final step, forcing Corin into a position where he could no longer make a move.

Watching the board, Corin stiffened entirely, his body trembling slightly.

He lost!

After many battles, always securing easy wins no matter the opponent, but this time, he lost easily to the so-called ’useless trash’ right in front of him.

Was this really the ’trash’ the Fisher Family spoke of?

If ’trash’ had such capability, what did that make them?

Corin was extremely unwilling to accept it, but a loss was a loss, there was no way to go back and change the result.

His face pale, fists clenched, he looked deeply at Chloe, "I’ve lost."

Chloe stood up and walked towards the resting area ahead, her figure casting the illusion of a sovereign’s lonely silhouette.
