Chapter 23 The Incredible Analyst Chapter 23 The Incredible Analyst As they reached the door , Hubert paused . " Your birthday is coming up soon , isn't it ? " 210 Free Coins Azalea hesitated , slightly taken aback . The concept of " birthday " felt almost alien to her . In the orphanage , no one really celebrated birthdays - just getting enough food was often enough of a celebration . Only Mr. Quinn had ever acknowledged her birthday with wishes and a cake . Later , back with the Larks , her birthday was overshadowed by Sydney's , treated more like a procedural event than a celebration . " It seems so , " she replied quietly . " You're about to turn 18 , that's a milestone . Is there something special you'd like for your birthday ? " She shook her head . " There's nothing I want . " Her current goals were focused solely on her studies and navigating the challenges posed by Sydney and the rest of the Larks . Anything more felt like a luxury she could not afford . Hubert thought for a moment , then decided , " I'll organize something memorable for your 18th - a proper coming - of - age celebration . " His smile was disarmingly charming . Beauty tends to capture attention , and Azalea found herself momentarily lost in his smile . She quickly looked away , her cheeks warming . " That's not necessary , really . My birthday isn't all that important ." Hubert placed a finger on his lips , " If you don't make it matter , nobody else will . Sometimes , declaring something's importance out loud gives it significance . " Could he be serious about this ? When Azalea realized she was actually looking forward to her 18th birthday , a faint thrill ran through her heart . With a somewhat wistful smile , she said , " I'll be waiting for your surprise then ." Hubert responded with a warm smile , " Good night , Lea . " The following day was routine for Azalea , attending school as usual . In the morning , Wylie messaged her about joining him at the base after school for a photo shoot for the final tournament poster and to participate in a practice match that Anexis had organized . It was common knowledge that such practice matches before a tournament were mainly for sizing up the competition . 111 O 1/3 14:55 Sat , 9 Aug Chapter 23 The Incredible Analyst +10 Free Coins During her classes . Azalea was as focused as ever , unlike her deskmate Irene , who spent the class sleeping . Their interaction had stalled after her initial attempt at friendship carly in the school year. Despite their daily encounters on their way to and from school , their potential friendship had not progressed . After one warning , Irene mentioned her discomfort with Sydney , which Azalea did not fully understand . In her previous life , she was too preoccupied with avoiding trouble at school to involve herself with others ' grievances . Her main concern now was Irene's apparent disinterest in academics , especially troubling given that it was their senior year . That afternoon , during a foreign language class , Azalea struggled to stay awake , battling with her ongoing difficulty in grasping the subject . Her attention snapped back when she noticed Irene secretly checking the upcoming match data between Anexis and GOD on his phone . Irene was impressively multitasking , pretending to scribble notes with one hand while analyzing the match data with the other . Azalea watched as Irene worked out potential final lineups and ban - picks on her draft paper . The accuracy of her predictions , aligning closely with the lineups from the final in her past life , was astonishing . It was as if she knew what was coming , but Azalea knew Irene had not been reborn like her . This indicated that all her analysis was spot on . It dawned on Azalea that she had such a valuable analyst right beside her all this time . As soon as class ended , she quickly seized Irene's wrist . " The analysis you sketched during class , was it based on the public data from this autumn's matches involving those two teams? " Irene , caught off guard by her studious desk mate's sudden interest in esports , felt a spark of camaraderie . " Not entirely . I included recent performances by the Anexis team as well . However , since GOD is somewhat of a wildcard this season with less available data , the accuracy of my predictions isn't perfect , and there's still a lot of room for unpredictability . " Incredible ! In the world of esports , aside from players ' individual skills , strategic acumen from the coaching staff plays a critical role . In a recent match , Anexis clinched a victory against the seasoned LTC team in the Spring Finals , largely thanks to a strategic counter - play . They managed to outmaneuver LTC's main marksman , leveraging a clever draft strategy that secured them the championship . " Do you plan to pursue a career in esports ? " Azalea inquired , seeing potential in Irene's talents . Knowing that her own time in competitive gaming was limited due to her academic commitments , Azalea was keen on recruiting such a promising analyst if Irene was considering a professional path in the field . Irene nodded in response , " My grades have never been great , and honestly , I was fortunate to even get into Draywick .
