Maybe it was because I and my classmates chatted and walked slowly our way to the dorm.

When I arrived at my dorm room, it was a little late.

‘Too bad Green Min wasn’t there.’

To support me, Green Min drew me a portrait.

I wanted to buy her dinner, too.

Plus the 8 classmates that haven’t come to school yet.

‘Can’t do that yet, huh.’

I turned on my device and saw a lot of unread messages.

First of all, I decided to send a message to Green Min.

[Me] I saw the portrait, thanks.

[Me] Do you want anything to eat? I’ll bring some tomorrow.

I was left on unread, so she must’ve gone to bed early, or was in a situation where it was difficult to check her device.

If there is no answer, I’ll just buy her cake or cookies from the bakery at the west gate, ‘MITRON.’

I exited the chatroom of me and Green and checked other unread messages.

Nam-wook and Sang-hoon’s chatroom caught my eye first.

[Sang-hoon Yoo] (Link)

[Sang-hoon Yoo] GRATZ

[Nam-wook Jang] why’d you send that link? It’s a chess tournament results page.

[Nam-wook Jang] OH, Ui-shin’s participating! He won today! Congrats!

The link Sang-hoon Yoo sent was the tournament results of today’s victory posted by stalemate.

They were congratulating me on my first and second rounds, but it was surprising that Sang-hoon knew.

[Me] TY how did you know?

Sang-hoon answered a little while later.

[Sang-hoon Yoo] miss sanghee yoo

He calls his sister that.

It was understandable, considering his reactions every time he heard the title ‘Sang-hee noona.’

[Nam-wook Jang] You heard from Sang-hee noona? Is she interested in chess?

[Sang-hoon Yoo] N. Student council junior support

[Nam-wook Jang] what?

[Nam-wook Jang] Oh, you mean she isn’t interested but she went to cheer for her student council junior and saw Ui-shin there.

[Sang-hoon Yoo] Y

[Nam-wook Jang] ······Sang-hoon, spell it out, will you? I kept thinking about what it meant.

[Sang-hoon Yoo] K

[Nam-wook Jang] ······Never mind.

          

Nam-wook seems to have improved his ability to recognize Sang-hoon’s short messages.

Sang-hoon was probably making them even shorter because Nam-wook understood them all.

Even if I pointed this out, Nam-wook would try to translate Sang-hoon’s messages anyway, so I decided to stay still.

‘So Sang-hee Yoo also came to the chess tournament.’

The student council junior who she came to support was probably Jun-yeoul Yeom.

My disciple Jun-yeoul passed the first and second rounds with ease.

She must’ve seen me when she came for Jun-yeoul.

When I checked my inbox, there was also a message of congratulations from Sang-hee Yoo.

‘She healed Red Tiger and all…… I want to give her a thank-you gift.’

She’s not going to accept a huge gift, so I’d better figure out a gift not so extravagant.

Next were texts from Chan-sol Geum and Wang.

[Chan-sol Geum] Our suspicious junior won! congrats.

[Chan-sol Wang] GRATZ.

‘Suspicious junior,’ did they somehow see my classmates cheer slogan?

The Geumchan-Wangchan Combo must’ve come for Garam Yeon.

[Chan-sol Wang] I thought Garam would win cuz Dong-ha Cheon didn’t enter this year. Garam is the boss of chess.

[Chan-sol Geum] Yeah, since you beat boss Garam, you need to win!

[Chan-sol Wang] If you lose, it’ll make boss Garam look weak. Get the championship!

[Chan-sol Geum] Get first place! Suspicious junior!

Last year’s winner was Dong-ha Cheon, huh.

Dong-ha is a playable character who is currently in second year and is in the student guidance department.

Just like the game depicted, he was writing a legend here.

I didn’t know he was last year’s chess champion, though.

[Me] Thanks for rooting for me. I’ll do my best.

[Chan-sol Wang] ? Never did that?

[Chan-sol Geum] ? Whacha talking about, we ain’t rooting for you??

[Chan-sol Wang] How is this rooting for you? Anyway, win or else, junior!

I read their messages again, but it seemed like they were rooting for me.

I ignored them “yelling” at me and read my other messages.

The next one was from Seung-hyun Park.

[Seung-hyun Park] I survived too.

[Seung-hyun Park] I saw the tournament schedule and we don’t meet until the finals·····

[Seung-hyun Park] See you at the finals.

He won all two rounds, too.
