The tournament was going smoothly. Leonard had made sure he was in one of the top spots, although being nearly defeated in Sonic Adventure 2 really urked him. He was going to claim victory. He was going to beat everyone here. And there would be no one who would stop him.

"I shall reign supreme. This will be my legacy! I will become the ultimate being, a god among men!"

"Leonard, what the hell are you on?" Amanda said. "You are monologuingagain."

"Oh, was I? I lost myself for a while. I might need to sit down and take a rest."

"Considering, that games for today are actually over. Remember, this is a long term thing. They aren't going to do every match in one day. You are crazy if you think that."

Leonard sighed. "I guess my decision had been made for me then. Very well then, I shall accompany you back."

Leonard and Amanda both left together, as today's rounds were over. The girl in the back was watching them both, pondering something in her head. She stayed silent, but thoughts could be read on her face quite easily. She was plotting something, but what, is left to theory.

Amanda and Leonard soon joined up with Kitty, who was busy doing something.

"Ah! Brain hurting! Amanda, I thought I asked for something to ease myself, not destroy my mind."

"Oh come now Leonard, you exaggerate. You always do this. If I were any other girl I'd leave your ass for being such a stupid ass sometimes."

"Oh but you don't." Leonard said, giving her an awkward stare. "My Amanda isn't a shallow jerk now is she? She is superior, a woman that men only dream of having. The very kind that are very much a rarity."

Amanda blushed slightly. "I'd be more angry at how you act if you didn't always say such things. You may be socially awkward, but you can charm women."

"Well, except these two, but that's mainly because they aren't interested any more. Speaking of which, what are you two doing anyway?"

Kitty smiled. "We are doing formulas together. How did your match go, is it over?"

"Yep, so for today I can rest my fingers. Both rounds went by easily, as to be expected of this universities' gaming god."

"EXCEPT, you almost lost round 2. Remember that girl? How she kicked you to the curb?" Amanda said, folding her arms.

"Hey, I pretty much beat her in score. I beat everyone in that FPS, and I only lost a few matches in Sonic. That is no way beating me."

"Well you better train yourself in every genre from this point on." Melanie said, butting in. "They like to keep it random for the sake of being fair. If there's a genre you falter in, you better train yourself now. It could mean the end."

Leonard looked away in thought. "Puzzles...DAMN YOU TETRIS!"

-----------------------------

Seems all will be quite for now in the land of gaming. But what was that girl plotting? And what will Round 3's match hold? What if Leonard finds himself in a genre he's no good at? Will he lose? Or will he pull through? Why don't you wait for the next story part instead of expecting me to tell you.
