One had to admit that sometimes, determination was determination, and strength was strength.
Hermione fell into self-isolation when she still couldn't win against Emily on the fifth time.
Emily had definitely gone easy on them when playing with them in the past!
Otherwise, with her advanced chess skills, how could she not be able to beat her!
She used to be able to win a game or two in the past, though it was rather inconsistent.
It could be once a week, or it could be once a month.
Actually, what Hermione had never thought of was that.
In the past, Hermione won when Emily had deliberately let her win as she had to attend to something and needed to leave.
She didn't win by relying on her abilities at all.
"As expected, Emily is still better than me in this aspect."
Although Hermione felt a little sore about losing, she was indifferent and didn't care too much about the outcome of this competition.
