Even though she bragged the loudest here, honestly, Laysa was the most nervous one when the pairing was out. After all, the higher her position on the standing was, the harder her opponent would be. This was the case in all the chess tournaments, and Claudia also suffered from it when Medina beat her after keeping her big mouth open in the second round of the tournament.
True enough, the chess god did not seem to like a kid who had a habit of bragging. Here, after teasing everyone relentlessly, the girl found out that her next pairing would be the top-seeded of the tournament, the veteran Mongolian IM, Bathkuyag Munguntuul herself.
"Oh, God… This is the worst…" She covered her face in despair.
"Hey, hey, no need to react like that." Claudia had a shit grin on her face, the mocking in her tone was clear by day. "Come on, you will find a way here! It is you that we are talking about, right? The one who is confident to beat Sister Medina?"
