Chapter 1859
Zeke was at a loss for words, and there, he gave up on the idea of telling Mr. Hardy the truth.
Even though he knew that his chances of winning were not high, Mr. Hardy was right. He was representing Northon
Institute.
'It seems that I’ve got to be serious this time,' he concluded.
"I got it, Mr. Hardy," Zeke said.
Mr. Hardy heaved a sigh of relief when he had finally received some reassurance from Zeke's eyes. "Do your best if
that's the case. Don't let me down."
However, Zeke sighed after hearing Mr. Hardy's words.
He had started out hacking for fun, and he was not expecting pressure like this at all.
Undoubtedly, Nicole had gained a lot of attention after her performance at the semi-finals, so much so that even
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRowdon became a little curious. 'The way she codes looks really familiar...'
However, he did not dare to think any further than that. He had already met a master in Zeke, and he could not
afford to go up against another genius in this contest.
Rowdon then took a deep breath before he got into an interview with the host to break Nicole's coding style down."
Even though her style was very aggressive, it was very
effective at the same time. However, it was very risky as it required a lot of skills and speed. Other than her, the
other person who likes to code like this is the hacker who's on top of The Hunters' leaderboard... Lucifer."
Everybody was shocked as soon as they heard the name Lucifer. None of them expected that she would mimic the
coding style of the best hacker on the leaderboard.
"No wonder she's so good. It turns out she's imitating the best hacker ever."
"Yeah, but it means that her typing speed is just as fast as Lucifer's..."
The area was filled with discussions when the host remarked with a laugh, "Looks like this student here is a big fan
of Lucifer."
Zeke sighed inwardly. ‘These people are so foolish. How in the hell could there be such a perfect imitator? She's
Lucifer herself!'
Ryder and Gary could hardly contain their laughter after hearing that.
They figured that everybody there would have their jaws drop to the ground if they found out that Nicole was
indeed Lucifer, since all of them thought that she was just an imitator.
However, Nicole seemed calmer than ever, as if she did not want to prove anything to anyone.
The venue was reset after the host had analyzed everything
that had happen along with Rowdon.
"All right. We have nine finalists now! Coming up next, we're going to begin the last part of this contest! Finalists,
please make your way up to the stage!"
The nine finalists stood up slowly, with Ryder and Gary feeling very honored while standing beside Nicole.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe nine finalists, including Zeke, then went up to the stage together.
The challengers who had lost to them could only watch as the finalists got all the attention, no matter how
frustrated they felt.
"Well, the rules will be the same as the previous year. Every contestant will be on their own. The last person
standing after every other contestant's defense have been destroyed will be the champion!"
"Woo-hoo!" The crowd cheered like it was the final battle that they had all been anticipating!
Nicole, however, did not expect this contest to bore her to such a degree. 'Well, it seems like this is just a computing
contest that tries very hard to present itself as a hacking competition. It's nothing professional, and it keeps
creating conflicts to attract viewers.'
However, she did not care about that at all. She was just there to have some fun.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
The host made them sit in a circle of computers before making the announcement passionately. "Let the final
round commence!"
With a ring, the timer went off, and everyone on the stage darted their fingers across their keyboards at once.
