CHAPTER 7: TAPPING

Everything was going on well in all our clubs and I was finally settling in with the rest of the students. One day, my guild was challenged by another guild and as usual, I was among the chosen players for my guild. It was a rookie guild known as TNT. The meaning of the initials, we did not know but we did not bother to ask. A guild can be named anything as long as its not a foul word. The match begun and we all rushed them. We were all eliminated by a single shot from them. At first, we all thought they were hacking but it was better not to jump to conclusions yet. The second round went the same way. The other two guys were convinced that we were playing against a team of hackers but I highly doubted that. It seemed like their aim was perfectly hitting our head with every shot. We decided to stay together and try to take them on together as they were not really having team work. Sticking together, we ganged up on them one after the other and before they knew what was happening, we already won the match. Deep within, I knew that if I was to take any of them one on one, I would not have a chance. Before both guilds parted ways, I sent their guild leader a friend request and he accepted it. I really wanted to learn how they were hitting those insane headshots. Luckily, he accepted my request and invited me to play a game with him. Crystal was sitting next to me so I asked her to watch. I asked the guy how they were hitting those shots in the beginning of the match and what it was called. He told me it was known as tapping and it was easily achieved by adjusting the sensitivity of your gaming device. After which you try to move the fire button up when shooting your opponent. It sounded really cool actually. I had never touched my game’s sensitivity before and this was actually my first time going to try it. He also added that adjusting the sensitivity varies for every device as the sensitivity of one device is not going to be the same for another. I said OKAY to him and he finally said that the next time we play, he would want to play a headshot only match with our guild. It was really nice to meet a non-toxic gamer like him. Honestly, most gamers out there are really toxic and will throw insulting words at you with the slightest mistake you make when playing them. I normally play games for fun but others take the game like a job. Club activities time was over and we were to return to our classes. I took out my laptop to visit YouTube and search about tapping since the guy said we could find a lot of videos about it on YouTube. We had a free period so I signed into the school’s Wi-Fi and searched for “free fire tapping” on YouTube. The first YouTube channel that popped up was Nadiya FF. she was a female gamer with a lot of subscribers on the platform. I was surprised at how good she was at tapping. It almost looked like a hack but you could clearly see that it was not a hack. She could even gamble with her clash squad rank by making the enemies win till there is just one point to be taken by the enemy team to win then she would defeat them and win the match. Tapping was really amazing to be honest. She was also having a team of female tappers making her YouTube videos even more attractive to watch. A lot of people said she was a hacker even though you could clearly tell that she id not. She showed her sensitivity in one of her videos and it was actually not same as the default game sensitivity. I instantly fell in love with her gameplay. I did not even realize when the siren sounded to signal the end of classes for the day. Clara walked over to me and tapped my shoulder bringing me back to my senses. I looked her in the eyes and she told me that class was over. I looked around to see that people were packing their stuff into their school bags to leave to their various hostels. She was staring at my pc with a lot of interest and I could see that she liked the game a lot but did not know how to say it. I asked if she wanted to watch the video and she shook her head negatively. I did not want to push so I begun to pack my stuff leaving the video playing and I could not realize but notice her interestingly watching the video. Her sister called out my name and when I turned, she was looking at me with one eyebrow raised in a weird way. I laughed and she also bust out laughing.
