Chapter 1272: Representative (5)
The audience seating area, filled with second-year students from class 0, erupted in cheers as the second round matchups were revealed.
The students, especially those from the second-year class 0, were ecstatic.
This was because every participant in the second round was from class 0, and all of them were from the second-year class 0.
Jo Yi-shin from the second-year class 0 would face Cheon Eun-ha from the first-year class 0.
Baek Ho-gun from the second-year class 0 would face Yeon Ga-ram from the third-year class 0.
Since students were battling against classmates from the same grade starting from the first round, it was particularly exciting for those who had difficulty cheering for their friends.
"I was worried we’d end up fighting among ourselves again! Thankfully, we didn’t. If we’re lucky, both of us could make it to the third round."
"That also means both of us could get knocked out."
"Jeong-muk, what are you saying? Yi-shin would never lose here."
"Right! Yi-shin is last year’s champion. He won’t lose easily to a first-year."
Sa-wol Seum and Kwon Le-na, who had watched the chess competition live last year, immediately countered Jeong-muk’s comment.
Gu Seul-bi, who had been quieter since Ong Gil-dong’s loss, also jumped in, confidently declaring that Jo Yi-shin would win, and one by one, more students began to predict Jo Yi-shin’s victory.
