Chapter 1863
Zeke tried to fight back. But then, with a swish, his computer screen went black. Zeke was stunned into silence. He
had lost so thoroughly with no room to maneuver. He tried so hard, yet he still lost to her. After all this while, after
he had put so much effort into improving himself, he still had a long way to go to catch up to Nicole.
At that moment, the crowd went silent for a brief moment before erupting in cheers.
"She won!’
"Lucifer won!*
"As expected for the top hacker on the leaderboard! That was amazing!"
"Incredible!" Everyone could not help but cheer for Nicole.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Royal Creek Institute students were all jumping excitedly." Nicole won!"
"We've taken back the championship!"
Even Mr. Zach was emotional, with tears in his eyes. He led the students and rushed over to Nicole.
"Congratulations, Nicole!"
Nicole never expected Mr. Zach to be so excited as it was just a competition to her. She felt a little helpless at the
sight of her classmates looking up to her. Although she did not care about the competition, it seemed that everyone
in Royal Creek Institute wanted to win after losing last year. That was the reason why they were all so excited.
"Nicole, that was amazing!" Bradley hurried over and congratulated her.
Gary could not help but admire her. "That was quite a show.”
Ryder remained silent, but his eyes were full of admiration. He had been observing both of their situations. Unlike
Zeke, who was nervous, Nicole was calm and composed. Even though they were the first and second- ranked
hackers on the leaderboard, there was still a large gap between them.
The host ran over and shouted, "Alright! We have our champion! Nicole Riddle from Royal Creek Institute! The first
runner-up is Zeke Guzman! And the second runner-up is Ryder Finley!"
The people from Royal Cheek Institute were cheering, while the students in the audience cheered at the sight of
this god-level competition. Only the people from Northon Institute looked defeated. Coming to the competition,
everyone was upbeat and confident that Zeke would win.
They thought they were on the cusp of victory when they found out Zeke was ranked second on the hacker's
leaderboard. They never expected their final ending would be losing the competition.
Mr. Hardy was the most devastated. At this point, he was dumbstruck. He felt too embarrassed to get on stage.

Zeke watched as everyone congratulated Nicole. He collected his emotions, took a deep breath, stood up, and
walked toward Nicole. He extended his hand to congratulate her. "Congratulations.’
Zeke looked at Nicole calmly. Although he was a little upset, he was still proud and happy for Nicole. They were
partners, after all. If Nicole won, he could still congratulate her fully at ease.
"Congratulations to you too." Nicole smiled. "You're my only opponent.
Keep it up."
Nicole’s affirmation made everyone look at Zeke. Such high praise led everyone to feel envious of Zeke. Zeke
himself was also thrilled. "I got it. I'll definitely win against you next time.’
"I'll be waiting,' Nicole said, smirking. Zeke had nothing to feel bad about, since Nicole was like his teacher.
Nicole, Zeke, and Ryder remained on stage with the host, proceeding with the award ceremony. Shortly after,
Sebastian walked up the stage. As the highest-status person in the entire crowd, Sebastian was in charge of
presenting the award.
Seeing Nicole, Sebastian smiled. "You did well.’
Nicole once more astounded the entire crowd. They had not seen each other in so many days.
