Capítulo 83: Chess Tournament Special Exam - Part 1 [Kanako Hanae]

***

It was pretty early in the morning when I, Kanako Hanae, was awoken by the sound of someone poking me in the face. My eyes gradually adjusted to the light as I looked up at whoever was prodding me. Taking a second to stretch my arms, I saw that it was my roommate.

This was the big day.

"Hanae, I'm going to my match now."

"...Ah, it's morning already?"

"You should probably check your phone! Do you even know what time your match is?"

I grabbed my phone off of the bedside table and quickly looked at it.

There was a mail from the school.
