Chapter 1742
Xanry realized that he had made a miscalculation the second the ball hit the lane with a loud ‘thud’ before swerving
right into the gutter! With that in mind, Xanry ended up getting no points for that round.
Seeing that, Xanry couldn’t help but frown. To think that he would actually make such a mistake at the worst
possible time! How dissatisfactory!
Gerald himself wasn’t about to miss the chance to ridicule Xanry. Laughing aloud, Gerald then scoffed, “I guess you
made a mistake just in time for me to catch up to you, Monitor! You have my thanks!”
Hearing that, Xanry grew immensely annoyed, though he didn’t really have anything to retort. After all, he was the
one who had been careless.

While Gerald didn’t say it out, in his mind, he was thinking, ‘Go on pretending! You’re still trying hard to put up an
act even after I’ve given you a platform, huh?’
Now that it was Gerald’s turn again, he figured that it was high time he started closing the gap between their scores
even more. As long as he remained a few points behind Xanry, he wouldn’t make his capabilities too obvious, and
Xanry would surely continue being smug about it till the very last moment.
With that in mind, Gerald then got up and took yet another ball. Tossing it in one fluid motion, the ball rolled so
steadily that by the time it got to the bowling pins, all ten of them ended up falling!
While gasps could be heard from the audience, Xanry’s frown only deepened. Now that Gerald had twenty-two
points, he was only four marks behind Xanry. If he wasn’t careful, Gerald was surely going to surpass his score in
the next round!
“Looks like I’m about to catch up to you, monitor!” said Gerald with a chuckle.
Forcing a laugh, the awkward Xanry then moved to take his fifth ball.
He now understood that due to him wanting to win so much in the previous round, he had gotten impatient, which
led to his terrible performance. As the saying went, ‘slow and steady wins the race’. With that in mind, Xanry made
sure to calm himself before tossing his next shot.
Naturally, now that he was much more focused, Xanry was able to get a strike as well!
Seeing that, his classmates instantly began cheering once more!
“Hell yeah!”
“Awesome, monitor! You got a strike again!”

Now that he had returned to his normal performance, Xanry couldn’t help but flash a smile. He was going to
triumph over Gerald if it was the last thing he did!
Gerald, on the other hand, simply retained his poker face. Standing there calmly, it almost seemed like he didn’t
even care about Xanry’s performance…
The truth was, however, that Gerald was cooking up a plan in his head. In his mind, he was thinking that instead of
simply winning the competition by a landslide, wouldn’t it annoy Xanry even more if he won with only a single point
higher than Xanry?
Just as Gerald was thinking how interesting that outcome would be, his train of thought was cut short when Xanry
scoffed, “It’s your turn now, Mr. Crawford! Could it be that you’re getting frightened of me?”
The fact that Gerald still hadn’t made his move made Xanry delighted to no end. His humiliation earlier was
definitely being redeemed now!
