Steven Quinton gave a thumbs up and eximed, “Sister, you just made the Jedi blow; it was fantastic! I thought you were going to lose since you didn’t get the upper hand in the first two games!”
Mr. Quinton smiled as well and added, “Yes, Dad was a bundle of nerves for you!”
Aurora, feeling a bit shy, replied, “Thanks to Master Wade’s reminder; otherwise, I might have really lost…”
As she spoke, Aurora affectionately wrapped her arm around Charlie’s and added softly, “And from now on, Master Wade will be my coach!”
“Ah?” Mr. Quinton reacted with surprise upon hearing that Master Charlie Wade would be coaching his daughter, his excitement mingled with concern. “Are you joking? Master Wade has so many important responsibilities every day. How can he take the time to help you with this kind of children’s game? What if it distracts him from his serious work? Can you take that responsibility?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Aurora felt a little wronged by her father’s words and bit her lip. She also worried internally whether having Charlie as her coach would truly hinder his important tasks.
At that moment, Charlie smiled and reassured, “I actually don’t have much on my te right now. Besides, this isn’t just a child’s game. I aim to help Aurora win glory for our country. I want her to take home a championship so we can showcase the talent of Chinese college students!”<fnc97f> Follow current nov?ls on find?novel</fnc97f>
Upon hearing this, Mr. Quinton finally rxed and smiled, saying, “Aurora, since Master Wade has so much faith in you, you must train hard and prepare vigorously for the uingpetitions. You need to reward Master Wade with a great ranking. I believe in you!”
“I will definitely give it my all!” Aurora eximed, her fists clenched in determination. “I’mmitted to achieving the best result possible in thepetitions ahead!”
Charlie smiled encouragingly and said, “You need to aim high. From my perspective, bringing home a championship is the only way to justify everything you’ve said about thispetition!”
Aurora quickly responded, “Master Wade, the top three seeds in thispetition are incredibly strong! Especially the number one seed, Ito Nanako from Japan. She’s a national treasure and the personal disciple of the esteemed Yamamoto Kazuki, who has called her a genius. She’s already won two international college Sandapetitions and is going for her third consecutive title this time.”
Charlie chuckled, “Don’t worry about anyone else; with me in your corner, she won’t be your equal!”
“Really?!” Aurora asked excitedly, knowing Charlie’s abilities and trusting his confidence. “Master Wade, do you truly believe I can beat Ito Nanako?”
Charlie nodded, smiling. “Absolutely, if I say it, I mean it!”
“That’s amazing!” Aurora cheered, bubbling with excitement.
Just then, Coach nks approached with a smile and said, “Oh, Aurora, congrattions! You’ve made it to the top 8, which ties the best result for a Chinese college student in this event!”
“If you win your next match and advance to the top 4, you’ll set a new record for Chinese students in thispetition!”
Aurora reflected on Coach nks’ previous criticism but feltpelled to recognize his congrattions. She replied politely, “Thank you, Coach nks. I’ll work hard for the next match.”
Coach nks smiled but added seriously, “You had quite a thrilling win just now, but it wasrgely due to luck. To win the next match, you need to rely on systematic training and professional guidance. Why not let me coach you through the rest of thepetition?”
Charlie listened quietly, a slight smile on his face, not responding to Coach nks’ offer.
Aurora, however, firmly dered, “I’m sorry, Coach nks, but I’ve chosen a new coach now.”
“That’s him?” Coach nks looked at Charlie with disdain and scoffed, “This guy isn’t professional at all. He just got lucky this time. If you’re counting on him, you might stop at the top 8 and not go any further!”
Aurora, feeling indignant, retorted, “Huh! Don’t talk nonsense! In my eyes, Master Wade is the best coach in the world! No onepares, not even you!”
