George’s skills and age made it quite likely. Although Ethan didn’t know George’s true capabilities, he was undoubtedly impressive. 

He might even be on par with professional hackers. 

“Take a guess,” Isabelle said. 

Her expression was a mix of amusement and mystery, leaving Ethan puzzled.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Despite his confusion, Ethan decided to sign up, 

He had just started learning computer science as a freshman, but he had already outperformed his senior and earned a spot in the competition. 

Ethan made a strong debut at Taragon University. 

Magnus always preached that friendship was the most important. 

He maintained a friendly relationship with Humbert Brown, the principal of Sagefield University. 

However, as soon as he saw off his rival and friend, Magnus sought out Isabelle, hoping she could help the school shine. 

Despite his age, Magnus’s competitive spirit was still strong. 

Upon learning that Ethan qualified for the competition, Magnus was relieved. 

He thought that, with such an impressive sister, Ethan couldn’t be far behind. Even if he didn’t win, he wouldn’t lose badly. 

Magnus had also heard of an outstanding freshman at Sagefield. 

Sagefield University hosted the competition. 

Many students from Taragon University came to cheer for Ethan and his teammates on the day of the 

event. 

The two schools were close, but Isabelle didn’t go. 

Instead, she sent Jack to accompany Ethan. 

It was Ethan’s first time competing in such a large–scale event. 

The audience was loud and energetic, increasing Ethan’s pressure. 

Jack said, “What’s there to be nervous about?” 

Ethan felt a bit disheartened by Jack’s lack of encouragement and mumbled, “A little encouragement wouldn’t hurt.” 

What Ethan didn’t know was that a combat master had exceptionally keen hearing, and Jack had heard every word.

When it was time for the competition to start and Ethan was about to take the stage, Jack, with his arms crossed, awkwardly muttered, “Your sister says good luck.” 

Ethan wasn’t naive. Seeing Jack’s awkwardness, he didn’t call him out. 

Holding his laptop, Ethan simply replied, “If I win and get a prize, I’ll give it to you.” 

Before Jack could respond, a cocky male voice interrupted with a laugh. “You’d better give up now.” 

A mixed–race student, Neil Pope, walked past Ethan, bumping his shoulder and taking the lead on stage with his laptop. 

The person who told Ethan to give up wasn’t Neil, but his lackey. Neil didn’t even glance at Ethan, his eyes full of arrogance. 

Jack frowned and fixed his unfriendly gaze on the two of them. 

Whether intentional or not, Sagefield had set up the computer competition on an indoor basketball court. 

It seemed like a case of trying to recover where they once fell. They sought to reclaim the pride they had previously lost. 

“Go. Ethan Danny yelled. 

Outside the basketball court, Danny held a red banner and shouted louder than the person with the megaphone next to him, veins bulging in his neck. He was so loud that his voice alone was equivalent to that of a cheerleading squad. 

His enthusiasm was so overwhelming that Ethan felt ‘touched‘ and bowed his head in embarrassment. 

Each team had four participants, randomly seated with a countdown timer in the middle. 

Ethan, sitting at the edge, was the only freshman among the four from Taragon University, the other three 

were seniors. 

The competition was straightforward: both sides set problems for each other, finding and fixing vulnerabilities within a set time. 

After setting the problems, they were randomly distributed to the opposing team. 

Once the equipment was checked by professionals, the competition began. 

Ethan quickly wrote a series of buggy program codes and then randomly received the opponent’s code. 

He didn’t face Neil in the first round, and he advanced by eliminating those who either failed or took the most time. 

Now it was three against three. 

The sound of typing filled the air, and the competition heated. 

In the audience, students watched in tense silence.

Taragon students were thrilled that their freshmen had reached the finals against a formidable opponent. 

Ethan’s good looks and being Isabelle’s brother have made him a standout si 

year.

Taragon students cheered for Ethan, thinking that if Isabelle was so extraordinary, her brother must be exceptional too. 

Both competitors had saved their best tricks for last. After giving each other problems, they began a silent 

battle. 

Neil smirked disdainfully at Ethan’s code. 

In the previous rounds, he had always been the first to finish. 

As Ethan analysed his opponent’s code, he realised the gap between their skills. He wasn’t the match for Neil 

Neil typed leisurely, not even looking up as he arrogantly said, “You might as well give up now.”
