Mr. Wen stared at the young girl in wonder who was clad in all black clothes and had removed her cap and mask on the desk, revealing her face to him. The girl had a rather innocent-gentle facial feature than her attitude and tone.

He didn't force her to speak and waited for her to state her request.

They are in his office just as she had suggested earlier to talk about another prize that she wants instead of the prize money. It's not that he's gonna fulfill her every request since he has no idea what request she would make. Still, he wants to know what she has to say, her game and teamwork impressed him, it's been so long since he has seen some playing this well.

She showed her patience and leadership quality while being in the group match and she showed her wittiness and skills in the individual game. Others have thought that she was being cowardly in the game by hiding behind the bushes but it was a smart move and less energy-consuming.

The one who kills everyone was to be announced win, she waited for Aurora to kill the other while killing aurora, she became the winner. She could do such a thing because she knew her skills, she knew that she can play better than Aurora who has even participated in the state-level match.

She was confident in herself and she proved her skills by killing him in less than a minute. He also wants to hear what this girl has to say.

-

" What do you want to say earlier? You can say it now." He said casually, allowing her to express her request.

Xu Nuan looked at the cup of green tea that he has served to her and warmed her hands with the warm cup. She raised her head to look at him and smiled proudly before saying, " I don't want prize money. Instead...I want admission in Xin Lin, with a full-term scholarship." she stated, nonchalantly.

"....."

The man was speechless and stared at her in confusion, wondering if she was joking or was serious. After a few minutes of staring at her blank face, he laughed.

Bwahaha!!

Xu Nuan shook her head lightly and smirked while taking a sip of her tea, ignoring his laughing appearance at her words.

After laughing for a good minute, Mr. Wen calmed down as he clasped his hands together on the desk and leaned forward, staring into Xu Nuan's eyes with sudden seriousness, " Do you think that you would make such a ridiculous request and I will agree to it, just because I like your game?"

" Moon, or whatever your name is, this is Xin Lin university, it has been here for the past 60 years and I have served 20 years of my life at this college. And in these years, I have seen many students crying in front of me just because they couldn't make it into the college because of 0.5 marks. And do you expect me to give you a free pass into the college just because you impressed me with your game?" He questioned her, more like showed her the reality.

" If you want to take admission here, you can try next year. Pass the entrance exam and take admission. And for the prize money, take it. You deserved it." He said calmly but frowned when he saw that the girl seemed to have no intention of leaving whatsoever.

Xu Nuan didn't say anything while he spoke and just listened to his words. He was right, she also knew that she can't get into college just because she won a game.

" Mr. Wen, what you said is right. I should not cut in and get the admission just because I played well in-game. However, don't you think it would be a waste if you let go of a talent like me just because of certain rules?" she asked, proudly making the dean speechless with her shameless self-compliments.

" Talent? What talent? Playing games?" he scoffed seeing her overflowing confidence.

She smirked hearing his words and cleared her throat before saying, " You saw my game earlier. You said you were impressed by my style and skills, but do you think that was everything I can do?" She asked, making him raise his eyebrows at her questions in confusion.

" What do you mean?"

" I saved the sinking-game, I won against the top players of Xin Lin University, a normal girl who isn't even a part of Xin Lin, beat the top player Aurora in less than a minute. Do you think I showed my best skills while playing the match? You said you are interested in games and have seen multiple games in your 20 years of service here. What do you think about my skills? Was it just a normal game or…?." she said suggestively.

" Since you like games and hold competitions for Esports you should have known their increasing craze among the public and economic value. Companies hire the best players to stream their games just to promote their games and not only that there are teams who play on national-level as well. Don't you want a winner of such competitions from Xin Lin? First E-sports national-level female winner from Xin Lin..what an interesting headline!"

Her tempting words made his eyes waver for a moment. However, upon remembering the admission criteria, he came into sense. " I still can't allow it. You need to have academic skills to compete with other students. There is no games department, so you have to choose one of the departments only. There are only the best students in the university and if we let someone without any test, it will be unfair to them." He explained.

" No one is gonna accept you and your gaming skills if you do not stand on the standards of a student of Xin Lin. Your academic background and skills are more important than anything to get an admission"

He was considering her offer, it was a lucrative deal for her to have more trophies for the honor of the university. However, even though he is a dean, he can't do anything he wants. There are rules for a reason.

Xu Nuan rested her back against the chair-back and stared at the old man. " Who said that I am asking you to let me take admission without an exam?" she asked in confusion as she couldn't remember when she said that.

He frowned, " You didn't? Didn't you ask for a full-term scholarship instead of prize money?"

" Did you take it like that? Well, I was just asking for an opportunity to show me my competence to get admission into the university. When this year's admission started, I had an accident and was recovering for 2-3 months which caused me to miss the opportunity to enroll in any university." she explained, Mr. Wen's mouth shaped in 'O' when he heard about her unfortunate event.

However, he was still not sure how she could get into the college if she is not asking for a free-pass entry.

" Isn't the full-scholarship exam going to be held in a few days for the first-term students? Allow me to participate in that exam, If I qualify then you can give me admission, If I don't I will leave quietly," she said making him ponder at her suggestion.

:" You're saying that if you didn't qualify for the exam, you will not take the prize-money either?" He tried to confirm.

She nodded without any hesitation, which brought a smile to his face. The exam is not only the toughest exam which not anyone can crack easily, there is only one person who can win, the one who is on the top.

Other than that, all are not qualified. This will not do any harm to him since if she failed to qualify for the test, she is going to forfeit her prize money as well. It will save some money for the college at least.

" Well, if that's what you want, I don't mind. But you can't back-off at the last moment. I am gonna record your statement later about it." Mr. Wen said, making Xu Nuan chuckle seeing how his face was glowing at the thought of saving some money.

But is he going to get the opportunity to save money on her? She doubts that!
