"hey hey Myla, have you heard that today's the new games announcement?" a classmate said as the group of students approached Myla after a very difficult lesson about physics.
Myla smiled lightly as she replied to them "of course, how can I have not heard about the most hyped game for the last 2 years?"
"then... will you play it?" another classmate asked.
"of course i'll, it's another chance to compete with Him after all" Myla replied as her smile turned into a slightly wry one.
"what if he doesn't accept? maybe he can't buy one"
"well, then I'll do him a favor, for the sake of our competition, I'll buy him one, and I'll force him to play it with me"
"ohhh-" as the classmates exclaimed, ready to ask another question, but unable to do so because the bell rang.
the day gone by as everything went as usual, but everyone could feel the excitement and hype in the air, that even the professors and teachers could not contain
finally the final bell rang as the chaos begun, but even among the chaos there can be order, which is Myla and her competitor, Keith.
both of them seemed to have reached a mutual agreement as they stayed behind, of course there's also some classmates who noticed them and also stayed behind to see what will happen.
finally almost everyone left, as Myla and Keith placed themself by the sides of the school's courtyard with each of them surrounded by other students
Keith observed Myla with his sharp dark brown eyes as the wind moved his black hairs slightly, his lip went upward slightly
"so, what bring us here? what you want to say?" he asked
"you know about the new game that's coming out right? Well then I have a challenge for you, do you accept?" Myla said as her chocolate brown eyes tinned holding up his judging eyes
at this moment Keith mouth couldn't hold the laughter that he was suppressing
"hahhahaha, of course, of course I know about it, it's been soo hyped and everyone's talking about it, I would really like to say bring I on, but I need to tell you that I can't afford a device this expensive, also the stock will probably be drained before I even see their shadow" he replied while laughing
Myla smiled as she couldn't either stop her lip from going upward as she looked at the laughing person opposite to her
"then I'd assume that you accept the challenge, but worry not I'll get you one of those VR set" she paused for a moment before continuing "the challenge, that now I publically announce here, is to arrive at the peak of the new world, if we end up in a draw again we will have a duel"
at this moment everyone could feel a spark in the air, as all that's needed now is the confirmation from Keith to accept the challenge.
"very well, if that's so I accept" he replied smiling
the moment these words where pronounced every single students in the surrounding cheered, and those who filmed the challenge immediately posted it on their social, it'd be message, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram it doesn't matter, they just posted it,
as in the midst of the cheerful crowd both Myla and Keith walked toward each of their home, while also the crowd also slowly dissipated as everyone headed to their home.

{23 min of walking later}
Myla rang the bell of a moderate modern white mansion, which was neither too fancy nor too poor, just a normal looking mansion, as the camera on the side of the gate recognised her and opened the gate
she ran to the door but at the same time the door slowly opened so she slowed the pace before recognising his big brother, Luke, a dude with blonde hairs and the same brown eyes as Myla.
"Uh, big brother? what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be at work?" Myla asked while approaching the door of the mansion
"Yeah, but father called me home for a... commission, I have to buy something, but it's alright, don't worry Myla" he replied with a worry-free tone. He then walked past Myla
Myla was stunned for a moment, wondering what his brother was doing, noticing also the slight esitasion in his voice, which possibly meant that he was lying,
'bah, in the end it isn't my matter, even though I want ti know what he's doing but I respect him, if he doesn't want to tell anything there's surely a reason' she thought
'well, time to ask father about the challenge, the most difficult part of the plan,' she thought before entering the house,
the house's inside has a main hall, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, and six bedrooms including the second floor,
Myla directly headed toward the living room know her dad was probably there and ready to confront her, but before that she headed to her bedroom to deposit her stuff from college.
as she was about to enter the bedroom, which was on the second floor, she also encountered her big sister, Mika, who has blonde hair like Luke and light blue eyes, staring at her because she was almost running,
so Myla slowed her pace while eyeing Mika at the same time, finally reaching the door, just to open it, launch her bag near her desk, then closing the door,
she could hear Mika's light laugh behind her but she just gave her a glace, and begun going to the living room,
but before she could do it, she was stopped by Mika's hand on her shoulder
"just wanted to tell you that we will be going to the new game's official presentation in, uhh-" she checked her watch "1 hour and 13 minutes"
After telling her the informations she took her hand off Myla's shoulder finally letting her go to her father...
