18 A Single Ping

"Guess who got full marks on all the tests!?" Alex shouted when he arrived home with Aatrox.

"Really!? Congratulations son!!" Amanda screamed with joy and ran to hug Aatrox while crying.

"Yes." Aatrox said awkwardly while enjoying his mother's hug.

"I knew that older brother was super smart!" Bruna said with a smug look on her face as if she were the one who had passed the tests.

"My brother is just like me." Bryan said bragging about how he also got full marks in his tests.

Aatrox smiles and ruffled the hair of his two siblings.

"Ben, did you already learn the content for High School before your coma?" Alex asked while trying to get rid of the doubt he had since yesterday.

"Why?" Aatrox asked confused.

"You've always had good grades in school, but to be able to learn the content of several years in just one weekend is practically impossible. Principal Anderson told me about the master level question you answered at the end of the exam. Did you happen to study the content in advance before the accident? "Alex asks seriously.

"What? Did my son answer a Master level question?" Amanda asked in shock.

"Not only is my son unreasonably handsome, but he's a genius too!" Amanda said thrilled as she hugged Aatrox. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Like father like son." Alex said, happy to find out that his son was a genius while also clearing the doubt in his mind.

Aatrox told his parents about the tests and then went up to his room and turned on his computer.

After changing clothes, Aatrox opened League of Legends and OBS to start his live stream. Aatrox enjoyed talking with other people while playing the last time he streamed, so he decided to do the same today.

Aatrox looked at his watch and saw that it was 5 pm. There were still 3 hours left before the 1v1 match with Thomas.

After logging into League, Aatrox was setting up OBS. While doing so he heard a notification sound on League so he went back on, seeing a new message notification. He clicked on it and it opened up the chat room.

[Pandamonium: Hey God Aatrox, how are you?]

"Hello Pandamonium, I'm fine. Today a guy challenged me to a 1v1. I think it'll be nice to stream it." Answered Aatrox. He was very comfortable when he was called by his real name, Aatrox. Even though he now also felt like Benjamin, as all of his memories have morphed with those of Aatrox, he had not forgotten his real identity.

[Pandamonium: Ohh, a 1v1? This is going to be interesting. From what I've seen you play, I believe that unless the other player is Diamond, he has no chance of beating you. Players who are in Diamond begin to know how to control minion waves well, they know which items are best against their enemy champions, it's as different as water from wine.]

"He is Diamond." Aatrox answered in his usual cold voice.

[Pandamonium: Ohh ... Well, I hope this 1v1's stakes aren't high.]

"The bet doesn't matter, I won't lose to a mortal." Said Aatrox with his pride of God-King.

Pandamonium in their house remembered hearing Aatrox say this a few times. 'Maybe he has an eighth-grade syndrome?' they thought.

While they were talking, Aatrox received a friend request.

~ Player 'Annie is my name' sent you a friend request, would you like to accept it? ~

After Aatrox accepted the friend request, several messages arrived one after another.

[Annie is my name: What's with this username? Apparently, I'm not the only one who only plays as one character.]

[God Aatrox: You have no idea how long I've been as Aatrox.]

The two talked for a while until Annie created a normal match lobby and invited him. Since their difference in Elo was so high, Annie being Platinum and Aatrox being Silver, it was not possible for the two to play ranked matches together.

Aatrox was Jungler again while Annie was the Midlaner. The start of the game was pretty quiet until the enemy Blofang tried to gank Annie.

Annie was so focused on farming her minions that she only Pinged once on the floor, warning her team-mates that the enemy Jungler was near. With no hope that Aatrox, who was just a silver one, would come and help her. Annie started backing away from enemy's Midlaner, Le Blanc.

Seeing Annie's ping for help on the map with his enhanced vision, Aatrox who was killing the wolves in his Jungle stopped instantly and went towards the midlaner to help her.

Seeing that Blofang had jumped on Annie, Aatrox took advantage of Blofang's leap ability beeing in cooldown and threw his chains at him, slowing and dragging Blofang closer to him.

While Blofang was trying to run away from Aatrox's chains, Annie had already used both of her remaining skills to get her stun and used it on Blofang. Now that he couldn't move because of Annie, Aatrox's chains pulled him Blofang to him and he was instantly knocked up by the slash of Aatrox's Darkin blade.

<< First Blood >>

"Wow, weren't you killing the wolves? How did you get here so fast? I didn't even say anything." Annie said impressed and happy to get the First Blood.

"I have very good eyesight and hearing. When I heard the Ping's sound, my eye quickly moved to the map and I saw what was going on." Aatrox said as if it was something normal.

"Jeez, I usually have to ping several times before my teammates in Platinum realize, but you who's a Silver saw it straight away." She said.

Watching this Pandamonium thought 'He has really good map awareness. With a little training maybe...'

[Ping: A button that you press on your mouse/keyboard that makes a simples visual and sound alert to your team to warn them that you need help/is on the way/ enemy is missing.]
