Everyone knew that Sagefield students had lost so devastatedly that they ran back to the university in their underwear, <b>chanting </b>Taragon is the best“.
The police nearly arrested them en route.
For over a month after that, Humbert had nightmares every night.
Magnus looked at Isabelle, wondering what she was up to.
Humbert’s tone wasn’t friendly as he asked, “What kind of stakes are you looking for?”
Isabelle received a message from Danny. He wrote: ‘Boss, those Sagefield jerks are too arrogant! Ethan is traumatised!
He vividly described the situation to Isabelle.
Isabelle turned off her phone and looked out the window.
There were several luxury dormitory buildings in the distance.
“Are those new dormitories at Sagefield almost finished? They’re <b>so </b>close to Taragon that I thought they
were ours.
Magnus’s eyes lit up at her words. He immediately caught on but tried to dissuade her, “Isabelle, this isn’t right.”
He shook his head and continued, “Sagefield’s campus is already smaller than ours. Taking their dorms
would be too much.
Humbert scoffed and said, “Magnus, where do you get that confidence? We haven’t evenpeted yet, and you’re already talking about taking dorms.”
He nced at Isabelle, then back at Magnus. Humbert challenged, “If you lose, what will you give me?”
A moment ago, Magnus had been opposing the idea of such a bet, Now, he replied instantly, “The four dorms on the west side. That’s fair enough.”
-Humbert nced at them both. Then he mmed his hand on the table and agreed, “Dormitories it is.
<b>Deal</b><b>.”</b>
Isabelle suggested, “Shall we <b>sign </b>a contract?”
Magnus waved it off and said, “No need. <b>Can’t </b>we trust Principal Brown?”
Humbert insisted, “Let’s sign it!”
<b>Magnus </b>called his <b>assistant</b>, “Secretary,e here.”
The contract was quickly drafted and signed by both parties.
Isabellemented, “Betting dormitories isn’t <b>a </b><b>good </b>idea.<b>”</b>

Isabelle continued, “We can allocate somend on the east side of Taragon, and Principal Brown can <b>fund </b>the construction.”
Humbert snorted and said, “You’d better prepare the funds, Magnus. I’ll <b>thank </b>you on behalf of my students.
He was confident in his student <b>abilities</b>.
After Humbert left, Magnus grinned at Isabelle and said, “Isabelle, our reputation and dormitories are in your hands.”
Isabelle replied, “No problem”
Magnus instructed his assistant, “Go and announce this on our school’s website. Make sure everyone who <b>can </b>attendes to cheer.”
Magnus wasn’t short on money. He could build the dorms himself, but he needed to restore his dignity.
And he needed to execute it spectacrly for everyone to witness.
Isabelle found Ethan in his ss, still working on that code. She took a look and quickly assessed Neil’s level.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“shy! No substance,” Isabelle remarked.
Ethan looked up at her, then back at the screen. Isabelle’sment helped him find his direction quickly.
Isabelle pulled out her phone and messaged George: There’s aputerpetition against Sagefield this Saturday morning. Want to watch?‘
George replied: “I’ll be there.’
After receiving his message, Isabelle put away her phone.
But George wouldn’t miss this opportunity to chat, asking: ‘Wouldn’t it be too much to bully the kids? Shouldn’t your brother be more than enough, or are you nning to join?”
Isabelle asked: ‘Have you been taking care of your eyestely?‘
George stared at his phone and was confused by the replied.
What did she mean? Then he remembered Isabelle once telling him to take care of his eyes and spend less time on forums.
Curious, he checked the forums and found out Ethan had already losi.
Isabelle waited for George’s reply, wondering if he was busy or if they <b>had </b>lost their sync.
Finally, she sent another message: “Don’t get it?‘
George replied: ‘I was thinking, if I ever get bullied, would you stand up for me?”
Isabelle saw the message and couldn’t help but smile.
She <b>replied</b>. Of course

Ethan finally found the bug in the code, feeling a bit frustrated. He muttered, “Why didn’t I think of this earlier?”
Isabelle reassured him, “Compared to you, the other guy does have some advanced skills. It’s normal to lose to him<b>.”</b>
Ethan then received aforting message from George.
He showed it to Isabelle.
Isabelle <b>read </b>it withoutment.
Ethan couldn’t help but defend George. He said, “George really cares about you.”
Isabelle wondered, <i>Did </i>I say anything? <i>Why </i><i>does </i>he sound like he’s standing up for George?
She replied, “I didn’t bully him, did I?”
Ethan smiled, indicating that wasn’t what he meant.
Taragon students were still disappointed over the loss and upset with Neil’s arrogantments, but then they got news that Isabelle would represent Taragon University in the nextputerpetition.
