Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Is She the Pro?
Victor Hawthorne originally thought that July Quinn would accept his invitation.
After all, the e-sports team is different from other school clubs; it belongs solely to the student department and is supported by the school.
Joining the e-sports team could add points to exams and earn bonuses and honors through competitions.
It even helps with future employment to some extent.
At school, countless people try their hardest to join the e-sports team, but only a few actually pass Victor’s assessments.
Now, he’s ready to make an exception and recruit July Quinn without assessments.
July Quinn should be overwhelmed with gratitude, right?
But to Victor’s surprise, July Quinn coldly responded, "No! I’m not interested."
"You’re not interested? Do you know how many people want to join our e-sports team?"
Victor Hawthorne found it hard to accept being rejected on his first attempt to invite someone to the team, and the other members felt the same.
So, they all joined in to persuade her.
"Yeah, besides, usually to join our e-sports team you’d have to pass an assessment. Captain Hawthorne is recruiting you without one, you should secretly celebrate. Why refuse?"
"Joining our e-sports team comes with benefits other clubs can’t compare to. Not only do we receive a plethora of bonuses from competitions, the school also provides subsidies, and most importantly, we gain attention from others."
Yet, despite the repeated persuasions, July Quinn’s reply was still:
"I don’t lack attention, nor do I lack money, and I’m not interested."
"July Quinn, you..."
Victor and the others were infuriated beyond reason and were about to argue with July Quinn.
But right then, the commentator suddenly rushed over to July Quinn.
"Are you Master JULY?"
"Master JULY?" Victor Hawthorne froze for a moment and immediately refuted the commentator, "How could she possibly be Master JULY?"
Everyone who plays this online game knows Master JULY.
Even Victor Hawthorne and his team view Master JULY as the idol of idols.
Because to this day, Master JULY is still at the top of the game leaderboard.
In every online tournament of this game, Master JULY sweeps the competition away.
Many are curious whether Master JULY is male or female, what they look like, but as of now, no one has seen Master JULY in person.
Master JULY never attends offline award ceremonies for online tournaments, nor accepts any team invitations.
This has led many to suspect whether Master JULY truly exists.
Some even say Master JULY is just a marketing ploy created by the officials.
Perhaps the speculation hit the mark, as Master JULY disappeared this year.
No traces of them appeared in any online tournament.
July Quinn probably used a similar name, hence the mistaken identity.
Not only Victor Hawthorne thought so, the other team members did too.
But right then, July Quinn slightly nodded towards the commentator.
"Yes, it’s me."
For a moment, Victor Hawthorne and his friends were thrown into chaos.
July Quinn is the Master JULY worshiped all over the internet?
Did they open the wrong way today?
How could such a fantastical thing happen?
To ascertain the truth, Victor Hawthorne immediately leaned over to examine July Quinn’s computer account.
Earlier, when July Quinn logged into her account, her operation was very fast, so they didn’t catch a glimpse of her account name.
Now, with Victor Hawthorne personally checking, he quickly saw July Quinn’s account interface — JULY Quinn!
