Capítulo 1165: Chapter 931: Illusion?
“What? Fire Burning Academy, isn’t our opponent supposed to be Jixing Academy? Why did it suddenly change?”
The Dingchuan Academy students in the stands were imdiately stunned.
The cha Battle Team mbers who were ready to take the stage also frowned simultaneously.
It was quite frustrating to win this round. It’s one thing to concede in individual battles, but to concede in team matches without even fighting, and again in this match, just like the last one.
But no one suspected anything unusual.
Because throughout the entire arena, conceding was not uncommon. There were even many lesser-ranked academies, where the strongest was placed first. If they could win, they could compete in two more matches. If they were brutally defeated in the first match, they might concede all fighting, cha battles, and cha team matches simultaneously.
Moreover, so academies, having luckily entered the next round, might concede without a fight when facing strong enemies, hoping to surpass historical rankings significantly.
The fundantal purpose of the academy exchange competition is to rank the existing academies and provide the most accurate reference for age-appropriate candidates.
In this sense, as long as the ranking can improve, everything is negotiable.
So considering the viewing issues, these matches are not open to the public, and only the internal network of the participating academies can view the live broadcasts.
“But this Fire Burning Academy, I never paid attention before… The academy is ranked 109th… It’s not even as good as Jixing Academy.”
“To be precise, it falls far behind. The last ranking improved due to a walkover by the opponent. The academy’s na doesn’t do it justice.”
They were discussing animatedly, clearly feeling that the academy’s ranking was entirely unworthy of such an exaggerated na.
So far, the most formidable opponent they encountered was the Gonia War Academy at the very beginning.
The Dingchuan Academy formation was reaching a state of chaos in its discussions.
…
In the Fire Burning Academy, the situation was no better than at Dingchuan Academy.
The Fire Burning Academy students were already boiling over, nearly ready to fire at the sky.
“This is definitely a scam!”
“There’s not even any rest ti. We just barely won against the opponent, and now those team mbers are heavily injured. How can we compete in the next match?”
They looked at the understaffed preparation area in despair before soone volunteered to find the leading ntor.
“No way, we have to request a delay for the battle.”
However, not just the students, but other ntors gathered in front of their leading ntor, Mr. Willard.
But ntor Willard, with a heavy expression, inford everyone:
“I’m sorry, everyone, but this is the normal sequence of the competition. We don’t have any preparation ti, and neither does the opponent.”
After everyone reluctantly dispersed, ntor Willard quietly gazed at the battle list in his hand.
Then he gently slid his finger across it, sending it to the Competition Committee.
…
“Both battle lists have been submitted and are being analyzed…”
“Dingchuan Academy’s Fighting group, the target is not in the sequence.”
“cha individual battle list, the target is not in the sequence.”
“Team battle list, the target is not in the sequence.”
A young man with auxiliary photon glasses was quickly reporting the situation, with all the information about both teams aggregated in front of him on a large light screen.
However, it was clear that the space he was in was not the spacious and bright light computer room of the competition committee.
A person in a black robe stood silently behind him.
After a few seconds of contemplation, he opened his eyes and said, “The target is not in the sequence, so this battle holds no significance. The unification of the Five Great Colleges still requires two more matches… Connect to Fire Burning Academy, Willard!”
After a beep, Willard, who was waiting on the field with closed eyes, raised his head.
A deep voice ca through the earpiece from the person in the black robe: “Concede in the quickest yet most gracious way possible.”
After Willard turned off the Sky Communication, a smile appeared on his face.
Even after losing the battle with Dingchuan Academy, their ranking would still rise by 25.
Now, Fire Burning Academy was already within the top 100, and all of this was orchestrated by that mysterious force behind the scenes.
At this mont, they still allowed themselves to concede gracefully.
This was already a massive boon for Fire Burning Academy.
…
“The mbers of our Fire Burning Academy have already achieved great feats. They are currently receiving treatnt, and they are the heroes of our academy. We cannot exploit them without limits, so for this match, Fire Burning Academy will only send out the strongest.”
“We are learning from Dingchuan Academy and hope you won’t hold back from teaching us!”
Bach was astonished by the feedback information from the competition committee.
[The injury rate among Fire Burning Academy team mbers reached 65%. Only one person in the fighting team is participating, and one person in the individual cha battle. cha team battle… because more than half of the main team has entered the treatnt room, they forfeited the team battle.]
In other words… Dingchuan Academy and Fire Burning Academy only need to fight two matches!?
The opponent essentially had already forfeited the competition!
Winning two major rounds in a row today?
Is today so great person’s holiday?
Bach was now trying to convince himself that this competition was undoubtedly a turning point in his life.
After getting through the initial stages without mishap, today’s schedule could be described as smooth sailing.
“Please have the participants from both teams take the stage!”
Fighting match, Long Er.
cha individual match, Crock.
The solitary nas on both lists unquestionably represented a natural-born dominance.
Upon hearing these two nas, ntor Willard said only one thing to their participants: “Go up and exhibit the grace of Fire Burning Academy, then co down. Rember to act naturally.”
The two participants nodded.
They were rely second-string bench players and sohow, confusedly, were designated as Fire Burning Academy’s strongest this ti.
However, looking around, it seed like the first string players had all gone to heal.
So being the strongest now didn’t seem out of place.
In their self-delusion, they quickly adjusted their mindset and nodded seriously.
Thus, the two from Fire Burning Academy marched forth amidst their camp’s tragic looks of determination.
…
“Your hand speed is the fastest I have ever seen in my life, I am impressed.”
“This move broke three of my ribs. I can’t go on.”
“I concede!”
Long Er withdrew his hand, completely puzzled. Was his probing attack already this powerful?
Could it be that his physical level had improved?
…
This ti, Crock was piloting the [Ghost Leopard], and the beast-form cha kicked up a storm of attacks on the field.
The [Sky Cloud Fire] human-shaped cha flailed blindly, wildly attacking, its consecutive five charged fiery slashes only slicing through the illusions of the Ghost Leopard.
26 seconds into the match, the Ghost Leopard used three illusions to encircle the opponent, performing the A-grade cha skill [Ghostly Ghost Kill Array].
Fire Burning Academy imdiately surrendered decisively.
The whole process, Bach calculated, ended before he could even finish a cup of coffee.
“Have our fortunes really changed?”
Bach uncertainly looked toward his old friend, the Dark Departnt leader Tsunayoshi.
The latter scratched his chin thoughtfully while gazing at the sky.
“Maybe so.”
[Is it an illusion, or does it feel like the current competition committee is trying to conclude this tournant quickly?]
…
Gu Yunyou, wearing a light khaki handmade suit, sat quietly in the back seat of a 70th anniversary limited-edition Black Spirit Floating Car.
His gaze calmly rested on the window scenery.
So far, everything was progressing perfectly according to plan.
Good.
The floating car turned a corner at an intersection.
“Huh?”
A soft exclamation ca from the front passenger seat.
“What?” Gu Yunyou withdrew his gaze.
