After the event, achylys promptly departed the campus. Meanwhile, Frances was also getting  ready to leave. She checked her schedule and swiftly realized that it was Sunday, leaving her no obligations for the day. As she was a dedicated young girl who felt restless when idle. However, she made an spontaneous decision to to venture out and explore the city, as it was been quite some time since she last immersed herself in the city.

As Frances strolled thought the city, she couldn't help but to notice a familiar gaming pub. It brought back memories of her childhood, she used to hang there, she smiled and remembered her days when she was undefeated in the game of MOBA in that pub. Curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to stop and enter the shop.

  Inside the pub was full of people. Frances looked around, trying to find an available gaming unit. To her surprise, she found an empty one right next to achylys, the guy who made her feel embarrassed a couple of times. However, he didn't seem to notice her.

Frances settled her things and opened up the PC to play the MOBA game she used to play before. Coincidentally, achylys had just finished his match and was about to queue got the next match. Unbeknownst to both of them, they ended up queuing at the same time and were placed on the same team.

Frances couldn't feel nervous as she peeked at achylys unit, she had always felt this strange mix of nervousness and irritation whenever she was around with him. Meanwhile, achylys notices frances but choose not to say anything.

The match has began , and their team was winning. Frances couldn't resist resist checking achylys stats on the game  and realized that he had better stats than her. Her competitive spirit kicked in, and she become determined to be the MVP of the match. Despite  it being a long and challenging game , their team emerged victorious, with achylys earning the mvp title. Frances couldn't help but to feel annoyed at achylys once's again. His presence made her feel lesser and helpless which is very unusual for her, she is used to be always the best.

As achylys stood up to leave, frances stopped him in his tracks. She challenged him in a single match, offering him a 100$ if he won. At first, achylys declined, but frances doubled the bet to 200$. with nothing else to do at he moment, achylys accepted the offer.

The  two of them engage in a heated battle, and after a long close game, achyls emerge as the victor. Frances couldn't believe it. Determined not to accept defeat, she challenged achylys once again . however , the three following games, achylys won  with  a significant margin, highlighting the vast skill gap between them.

Devastated by the result, frances immediately left the pub, feeling a mix of frustration and helplessness. As frances walked outside, her mind troubled by thoughts of achylys, her blood boils. She couldn't understand why he always seemed to defeat her in every way. Yet, she couldn't deny the feeling of helplessness that washed over her whenever she encountered him.

Meanwhile, achylys counted the money he had won from defeating frances  and shook his head in disbelief. 

"that girl must be crazy" as  he watched the money she had given to him. And immediately headed home.
