The Queen's Avatar

Chapter 20 - Tiny Herb, Wang Jiexi

Upon opening the doors to her dorm, Xuelian walked in only to see Zhifei glaring at her with pitiful eyes.

Normally, it would have worked, but Xuelian was still mad about Zhifei tricking her.

"Xuexue, you are so mean!!" Zhifei couldn't help but latch onto her arm. 

"Hmph, Feifei, what did I say about lying to me in the past? If I was not online at the time, I wouldn't have even known!"

"But it really was an emergency! They needed me to help clear a dungeon!" Zhifei retorted back as she shook Xuelian's arm.

"Then why didn't you honestly tell me? You didn't have to be so vague about it! I was worried for you, you know?"

"Sorry…" 

"I'll give you back your weapon when you study and pass the next exam." Xuelian didn't budge as she went to bed.

"Eh? But Xuexue, how are you so good at the game? I didn't even know what hit me!"

"That's a secret, now go to bed. We have class early tomorrow."

Seeing that Xuelian was unwilling to speak on the matter, Zhifei went to bed as well.

...

Waking up early, Xuelian did her daily run and made breakfast. 

She woke Zhifei up who was still snoring in bed as she urged her to get ready for class.

Heading to class, the two of them attracted quite a bit of looks as usual, but they were already used to it. Xuelian was majoring in Computer Science so she had quite a bit of work outside of class, so she usually hung out at the library to study.

However, it was weird, because there was surprisingly a lot of people in her class today.

"What's going on?" Zhifei asked one of her friends who was carrying some keyboards.

"Zhizhi! Did you know? Apparently Tiny Herb is coming today! Anyway, can't talk, I have to help setup!"

Hearing the words 'Tiny Herb' instantly made Zhifei shriek in excitement.

"Tiny Herb? What's that?" Xuelian was confused. What happened to class?

"Xuexue, you don't know?!" Zhifei had witnessed how good Xuelian was at Glory, yet she didn't know?

"They're a professional Glory team! I don't know why they would come here though."

"Oh. So there is no class?" Xuelian asked, and before Zhifei would respond, her professor walked in.

"If it isn't my favorite Xue! That's right, there isn't any class. Apparently, Tiny Herb's captain Wang Jiexi graduated her and they are gonna come visit. We are setting up in the auditorium, come join us!"

Since when could a professional gaming team stop a college class? Xuelian was shocked, it looked like Glory was bigger in China than she thought.

"Let's go!" Zhifei eagerly dragged Xuelian along as she wanted to see one of her idols.

"Alright, alright, you go first, I'll use the restroom." Truthfully, Xuelian would rather do something else and not waste time watching the match, but the professor would still take attendance so she had to go.

But Xuelian had a funny thought Ashe logged onto her QQ before texting someone. "Hey!"

The other party responded with a line of question marks, clearly not expecting a message.

"Do you know Tiny Herb? Wang Jiexi?"

"Oh? What's with the sudden question?" Ye Xiu finally had interest in the conversation.

"They came to my University today, apparently they are gonna do some Glory event, why not come?"

"My lady boss, you are asking me, a former pro to come to your Glory event?"

"What, you can't?" Xuelian asked back.

"I can't just walk into your University right?" Ye Xiu was speechless.

"That's where I come in! I'll pull the cards you need! Come watch with me! I'll owe you one!"

"Oh? Now that's much more worth it. Alright, tell me where to meet." 

"XXX XX XXX."

...

"Over here!" Seeing Ye Xiu, Xuelian waved towards him.

Seeing the familiar figure, Ye Xiu walked over as he yawned. "Morning."

"You still haven't told me about Tiny Herb yet!"

"Mmm, they are a 2x Championship team, known for their group challenge. As for their captain… he's quite good!"

"Oh? Better than you?" Xuelian knew that Ye Xiu rarely praised other players.

"Nonsense, I'm the best here." Ye Xiu didn't even hesitate in his response as he replied. 

"Shameless. Anyway, they should be starting, we are already late."

Walking into the auditorium, they could see a crowd of spectators and a few players on stage.

"Looks like an all-star event." Ye Xiu made his comment as he placed his hands over his ears. "How loud."

Looking over at the big projector, Xuelian lost herself in the beautiful match.

Although it wasn't an exciting match, the movements of a player caught her attention.

Vaccaria.

The fluid movements and the unique ways he positioned himself struck out to Xuelian. It seemed like he had pressure on the whole map, even when he wasn't really there.

"Wang Jiexi's Vaccaria. Also known as the Magician. He's known for his unique playstyle, but it has been suppressed."

"Suppressed? Why?"

"Because Glory is a team game."

"Ah, what a shame. But still, just looking at the way he plays gives off the aura of a pro."

"So? You want to play against him?" Ye Xiu looked at Xuelian before watching the projector once more.

"It would be a lie to say I don't."

...

Glory, Lake Vermont, Team Arena

Broom Tornado!

Vaccaria spun his broom in a circular motion, sweeping all the enemies in range off the ground. 

Ice Rain! Lightning Chain!

As all of them were sent info the air, Vaccaria casted another chain of spells in succession, firing bolts of ice towards the enemy team.

As they all fell, lightning struck onto a user before connecting onto the other enemies.

Chain-Attack!

Although many users could use multiple skills at once due to their high APM, executing it at the highest efficacy was much harder. 

Because they were playing against their fans who weren't necessarily as good as them, such a brutal method could be utilized.

"Ah, as expected of Wang Jiexi, not even showing mercy to his fans." Ye Xiu couldn't help but shake his head in disdain.

"But each and every one of them gets to have a 1v1 match against a pro, isn't that much more valuable?" Xuelian disagreed.

"Hehe, not bad, you can tell. Wang Jiexi is a player that likes to calculate everything, but there are also flaws to such a playstyle."

The match ended with a 5-0 sweep, though all the players from the University left with a smile as they shook the pro-players hands.

Wang Jiexi was just about to prepare for the next event when he saw someone in the corner of his eyes, evidently surprised as he paused for a bit.

"It's him? Why is he here?" Mumbling aloud, his teammates heard him as they wondered who could attract their Captain's attention.

"Nothing, let's prepare for the next event."

Ye Xiu saw his gaze as he didn't avoid it. "Hehe, is it because he has uneven eyes that it's so sharp? He still saw me!"

"Hoho, that was quite an anticlimactic interaction." Xuelian couldn't help but be dissapointed. 

Ye Xiu didn't bother as he had a feeling that something was up.

"Tsktsk, did you want him to come down and greet me?" Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

How could that happen?

"Still, your auditorium is quite big, I'm surprised at the amount of people here!"

"Not bad, not bad. Let's go find a seat!" Because Xuelian lost herself in the match, they had yet to sit down.

"It's Goddess Xue!" Many people caught sight of her, hoping that she would sit down next to her.

"Huh? Who's that next to her?"

"Teacher Assistant?"

Ye Xiu's face couldn't help but distort upon hearing the students voices, "Teacher Assistant? These people are quite imaginative! And it looks like you have quite the bit of reputation here." 

Xuelian shrugged as she found Zhifei who had 2 empty seats next to her.

"Xuexue! Oh? Cafe Employee!"

"Hello, hello." Ye Xiu greeted her as he shook her hand.

Zhifei took the chance to whisper into Xuelian's ear. "Xuexue, why is he here?"

"Watching the match!"

"Oh. Ah? Watching the match? How'd he get in?" Zhifei nearly accepted the answer.

"Obviously because of me! The match is starting, focus."

"Ah, ah! Wang Jiexi!! Sarangeheyo!" Zhifei shouted at the top of her lungs, causing Xuelian and Ye Xiu to cover their ears.

"What the heck? Zhifei, you think this is a Korean drama? Cut the nonsense!" Xuelian even had to drag Zhifei down so she would sit.

The host on the stage then introduced the event, which would be a tag team match. The students selected would be able to choose the pro players they wish to face.

Although Xuelian and Zhifei continued to listen in, Ye Xiu seemed a bit disrupted. "Wang Jiexi, Wang Jiexi, no way right?"
