Everyone holding their breath. Most of them don't even know what's happening, but they can't help staring at two serious people beating each other through the screen. The sound of fingers on the keyboard left an eerie loneliness. No one spoke. All eyes were focused on the screen. The finger speed of the two was incredible. Inviting awe and gasps from every lip. This was the first time they had found an equal opponent for Alvian.

White Fox, Ellina's Id, now beating The Prince DR, Alvian's. The two fought each other in silence. Until time passed unnoticed. Then Alvian stood up and exclaimed.

"Lose!" he pointed right at Ellina's face. "You lost!"

Ellina smiled faintly. That was close, too close to win! "Let's fight one more time."

There was a flash of hate in Alvian's eyes. "Are you still challenging me? Sure, after all the makeup on your face is removed."

Ariella and Valerie came forward promptless, carrying a stack of makeup removers. "We will remove her makeup. We don't want any trick."

Everyone cheered and laughed. Ellina sat down and leaned her head back. Closing her eyes as if she was ready to accept the consequences of her defeat.

Finally, someone will take this dough off my face.

Alvian, Lykaios, and the others waited with mocking smiles. This might be an ugly-revealing face, but they will bear it because, after one more match, the girl would be wholly got kicked out of the class. Every eye waited for the results to slowly unfold. Ariella's hand moves slowly, making everyone impatient. Valerie focused her camera, directly connected to the university broadcast, to record every inch of Ellina's face.

One by one, the thick makeup was removed. The pair of long, black eyelashes. Smooth, white, plumpy skin. Thin lips with a natural pink hue. Opened eyes that shine like stars in the sky.

Ariella stepped back as her hands finished removing all of Ellina's makeup. Valerie's hand trembled gently. Silence dominated the atmosphere. Ellina pulled off her wig and casually tied her long, thick, black hair back.

"Shitt! Is this all real?" Alvian cursed to break the silence. "Is he really our department's clown?!"

"I'm not dreaming?"

That smooth white skin. That alluring gleam in the eye. She was a natural beauty. Like a very expensive jade. Natural-looking and utterly fascinating.

"Goddess of natural beauty,"

"How could it possibly be Ellina?"

"So this is the reason she covered her face with heavy makeup? Because she doesn't want her beauty to be exposed and ruin everyone's focus?"

"She's a real goddess of beauty!"

"She is the most beautiful girl in our university,"

"From now on, I will be her fans!"

"The hell with the majors. Are they all blind? How could they call a goddess a clown?!"

"How about the second match?" Ellina asked softly. Her voice was calm, as if she didn't hear anyone who was talking about her right before her ears.

"O-of course, we will compete once again," Alvian replied. "Don't forget our bet; you can't ask for another match if you lose this time."

"The hell with the match. Is she really our goddess of disability?" asked Lykaios, still in disbelief.

No one would believe it if they didn't see it for real. Alvian tried to focus on his monitor and stole a glance at Ellina.

"Half an hour," said Alvian hesitantly. Am I being too cruel to the beauty?

"Okay," Ellina replied. "Let's start."

"Uh, oh, okay."

The atmosphere was tense again, with keyboards tapping sound filling the room. Their speed was equal. The fingers moved quickly as the numbers continued to appear and change.

Ding!

One of Alvian's defenses had been breached in less than a minute. It created a gasp of amazement. But they kept quiet because they didn't want to make a scene.

Ding!

The second tone sounded. Alvian's security was breached again in less than five minutes. Even Alvian had trouble replying and protecting his privacy.

Ding!

The last security breach was in just ten minutes. Alvian widened his eyes when he saw his screen turn off and display a blank white screen. His laptop was literally on the terrace in less than ten minutes. And it was the work of someone he looked down at minutes ago.

"Ah, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that you've given me too long time," Ellina said as she stood up and raised the corners of her lips. She looked satisfied with the result she had achieved. At the start of the match, she learned all she could about the latest technology. And match two was a flow that she could quickly keep up with.

Lykaios stared at Ellina in disbelief. "What kind of monster is she? She just transformed into a beautiful woman and hacked into your computer in no time? It's really unbelievable."

"I lost? The security I was proud of hacked? Only in ten minutes?" Alvian's speech was garbled with shock.

Then the sound of applause rang out loudly. Everyone joyfully welcomed Ellina's victory. And there was a certain silence on Alvian and Lykaios' side.

"Give me your laptops,"

The voice brought them back to their senses as Ellina's figure came so close. They were even willing to bet that Ellina was beautiful when seen up close. Wordlessly, Lykaios and Alvian handed over their respective laptops and were immediately taken by Ellina.

"Nero," Ellina half shouted.

Then envious whispers could be heard as Nero approached. He looked at Ellina with disbelief, but his eyes showed a glimpse of pride. However, his friend achieved something Nero never thought of before. And he was so proud of it.

"Your gift. I kept my promise, right?"

Nero smiled and nodded as she received the laptop from Ellina. Before he could say anything, Ellina had already stepped up and back to her seat.
