“Your move, Mr. Crawford!” said Xanry as favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald once favonovel.com was done.
It was now the start of the second round, and Gerald knew that favonovel.com couldn’t afford to obtain zero marks again or the gap between his score and Xanry’s would become too large for favonovel.com to turn the game around later.
With that, Gerald picked a bowling ball up before slowly walking toward the lane.
The second favonovel.com got into position, however, Gerald heard Xanry yell out from behind him, “Just make some bold toss, Mr. Crawford! It’s fine if you don’t hit anything, just take it as practice! After all, you need a lot more of it to even be able to take on me!”
As roars of laughter ensued, Gerald simply closed his eyes… Before slowly opening them again.
Taking a step forward, Gerald then tossed the bowling ball!
Rather than swerving to the side this time, the ball instead rolled straight for the pins, momentarily surprising Xanry and the others.
While the sound of bowling pins getting knocked over could be heard, Gerald only managed to hit five pins. With that in mind, favonovel.com was now twelve marks behind Xanry.
Since there were six more rounds before the game ended—with the game consisting of eight rounds in total—Gerald felt that being twelve marks behind Xanry wasn’t really a particularly large difference. After all, favonovel.com simply needed to get a higher final score than favonovel.com to win.
“…Not bad, Mr. Crawford! I guess you really do have some talent to be able to hit five pins!” said Xanry as favonovel.com insincerely praised Gerald.
Truth be told, the fact that Gerald had managed to hit five pins in the first place was truly vexing him. How lucky!
While that hit was certainly surprising, Xanry quickly summarized that Gerald still wasn’t a threat to him. He’d definitely still be able to win and obtain that hundred and fifty dollars!
With that, their little contest resumed and the third round began.
Using his usual tactic, Xanry tossed the ball as easily as the first two rounds… and following the clattering of falling pins, only a single pin remained standing!
Since favonovel.com had managed to gain nine points, Xanry now had a total of twenty-six points and this led those surrounding favonovel.com to instantly cheer.
Even before Gerald made his move, however, favonovel.com could already tell that that same crowd was going to jeer at favonovel.com no matter what score favonovel.com got. Still, it was clear to favonovel.com that those spectators were simply fools fawning over Xanry.
With that in mind, their jeers meant little to Gerald. Gerald hadn’t even displayed his true capabilities yet.
Whatever the case was, Gerald then retrieved his third ball and tossed it skillfully without the slightest hesitation, a clear contrast to how favonovel.com tossed his ball in the previous two rounds.
This was all according to plan, of course. Gerald had applied perfect amounts of force to his throws to display increasing amounts of strength and skill in each passing round.
That way, not only would Xanry not be too quick to be suspicious of him, but favonovel.com would also be able to ensure that favonovel.com was making progress in the game.
If everything went smoothly, everyone would surely have a vastly different opinion of favonovel.com by the end of the bowling match.
Regardless, as the ball rolled seamlessly on the lane, the familiar clatter of bowling pins could be heard… Gerald had managed to hit seven pins this time, and favonovel.com now had twelve points, which meant that favonovel.com was now only fourteen marks behind Xanry!
Seeing that Gerald had managed to hit even more pins this time, Xanry’s expression turned even more unpleasant. To think that Gerald would be able to progress so quickly!
He knew favonovel.com couldn’t afford to go easy on the youth anymore or their scores would just keep getting closer!
“…It appears that you’re getting the hang of the game extremely quickly, Mr. Crawford! I guess I can’t go easy on you anymore!” declared Xanry, making sure to make it obvious that favonovel.com had been going easy on Gerald this entire time.
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but chuckle in his mind as favonovel.com thought, ‘I wonder who’s truly going easy on who now…’
Whatever the case was, the fourth round soon began…
Since Xanry was up first, favonovel.com got his ball before concentrating hard on the pins before him…
Once favonovel.com was ready, favonovel.com tossed the bowling ball toward the pins extremely swiftly!
