Gary looked at his brother with sympathy in his eyes. His brother still believed that he and Nicole were evenly matched in their capabilities. In fact, he had even conceived of the possibility of defeating Nicole.

On the other hand, Gary thought that his brother was rather pitiful.

With a sigh, he cracked the program, stood up, and patted Ryder in the shoulder. "Rest in peace."

Ryder froze, not understanding what Gary had meant. Off stage, Mr. Zach watched as they all entered the next round and issued a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he noticed Nicole, and as they were exiting the stage, he walked over to them and said, "It's great that you're able to enter the next round. Good luck! Don't give up!"

Nicole looked at Mr. Zach. 'This teacher is from the university department, and he's probably Stanley's homeroom teacher.'

She had a favorable impression of his friendly demeanor. "Thank you, sir."

In response, Mr. Zach smiled. "No worries. That's the least I can do for you."

At the same time, Mr. Hardy also walked over to welcome Zeke, and as he had overheard the conversation between them, chuckled, "Well, aren't you self-aware? A teacher like you won't be able to create any good students."
