Chapter 69: The Group of Death
The annual school professional competition that everyone looked forward to finally arrived.
Early that morning, the director led a team, more than a dozen instructors, and the ten students who would participate in the competition onto the bus. Then they headed to the competition venue.
There were also ten other buses carrying more than five hundred school students who attended the competition. The eleven white buses ford a long line, heading toward their destination, the White Deer Giant Stadium.
The stadium could accommodate fifty thousand spectators. It was the exclusive venue for this year’s annual school professional competition.
The students on board the buses saw a sea of people standing outside the stadium as the buses approached the giant stadium. There were already long lines forming at the stadium entrance.
When the bus entered the stadium through the exclusive entrance, the students saw the words “White Deer Giant Stadium” shining brightly. They cried out in surprise, “The stadium is so spectacular!”
The enthusiastic atmosphere had infected the students before the competition even started. They were all extrely excited.
After organizing the students to their designated seats, Na’er, the director, and a line of teachers led the team mbers to their exclusive lounge.
After sorting the participants out, Na’er hurriedly went to the organizing committee to report.
Since the participants realized that there weren’t any teachers around the exclusive lounge, they walked around curiously. Then they cried out in surprise again.
“Wow, the stadium is packed!”
“There are thousands of people waving their flags and cheering enthusiastically. I can feel the fiery atmosphere among the audience through the screen.”
Alan heard everyone’s continuous chatting and put his hand on Moss’s shoulder. He excitedly pointed at the screen with his chin, unable to hide his excitent. Alan said, “Look at the crowd, Moss. It’s much bigger than our last test. I’m starting to get nervous.”
“It’s normal to be nervous. We are all participating in this competition for the first ti. Like you, it’s also their first ti competing in such a gigantic stadium. Everyone feels the sa,” Moss said with a reassuring smile.
Moss then realized that he was already fully ard, and the competition hadn’t even started yet. Seeing Alan’s nervous and adorable appearance, Moss laughed at Alan and said, “Alan, not even the opening ceremony has started. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
“It’s always good to make early preparations. I brought a lot of things that my mother told to bring since I’m going to have a big fight.” Alan proudly scratched his node as he spoke. His nervous expression disappeared instantly.
Seeing that Allen was no longer nervous, Moss looked at the sea of spectators on the big screen. The students felt the stadium’s atmosphere through the screen when they heard Na’er’s panting.
“Participants, drop everything and gather in front of .”
The participants quickly lined up before Na’er. Everyone thought Na’er was about to announce so bad news, seeing as she was sweating.
It was just as the participants expected. Na’er composed herself and said in a somber tone, “The director is busy with sothing else now. Let explain what is happening. There are thirty-two teams from the twelve schools participating in this year’s competition.”
“Several schools have ford three teams, with a total of fifteen participants each to take part in this competition. It will be disadvantageous for schools that only fordtwo teams.”
Mill responded coldly with a disdainful expression, “Principal, the most crucial thing in a war is to be good at it. We won’t need that many people. No matter how many of them co at us, they’re still a bunch of cannon fodder.”
Bass echoed confidently, “We’re not afraid of anyone, Principal!”
The other participants agreed, “Yeah, we are the best!”
Na’er’s anxious expression relaxed when she heard the participants’ words. She continued, “I’ll explain the competition rules in detail now. The competition will include three events: The team-based Mystic Realm competition, the individual Player Kill competition, and the team-based Player Kill competition.”
“The individual Player Kill competition will be divided into thirty-two groups of five people. The competition will be a round-robin system. The participant that gets first place in each group will advance to the elimination round consisting of thirty-two people.”
Everyone present already knew the rules. The teachers had already explained the rules several tis during the preparation period. However, the participants understood why Na’er tirelessly explained the rules and patiently listened to her.
Suddenly, the physical education teacher ran into the room with a darkened expression. “P-Principal Na’er! Sothing terrible has happened.”
Na’er paused, a little displeased that the physical education teacher had interrupted her speech. “When did you learn to be so rude? The participants are still here! What kind of example are you setting?”
The participants couldn’t help but laugh when they saw Na’er’s aggrieved expression.
Na’er said sternly, seeing as the physical education teacher had cald down a little, “Well? What is it? Speak!”
“The results of the draw are out! We got the most difficult Mystic Realm in the team Mystic Realm competition!”
“That might not be a bad thing for us since we can increase our points,” Na’er explained to the students and asked calmly, “What star-ranking is that Mystic Realm?”
“I-It’s a two-star Mystic Realm!”
“What? Really?!” Na’er couldn’t help but shout.
The participants beca nervous. Fortunately, they had trained in a two-star Mystic Realm for the past few days.
A mont later, Na’er smiled. Although she revealed an ordinary smile, she was ecstatic deep down. She had used a two-star Mystic Realm during the preliminaries, and the participants had experienced it already.
However, when Na’er noticed the physical education teacher’s darkened expression, she asked, “Is there sothing else you need to tell us?”
“We drew Group A1 in the team Player Kill competition, which is the upper half of Group A. This group is more commonly known as the Group of Death. Most of the stronger teams are in this group.”
“In addition, the individual competition is much better compared to the team competitions. The players are in different groups, and there aren’t many strong opponents. B-But…”
Na’er was dissatisfied with the physical education teacher as she asked, “But what? My goodness, why are you being so wishy-washy today?!”
“Moss has a very unsatisfactory draw. A player from Number Three High is the crowd favorite, and he’s in the group competition. Moreover, in the lower half of Group B, where Moss is, there are a lot of top players from other schools. Almost every match will be a tough one...”
Before the physical education teacher could finish, the participants and Na’er looked at Moss.
Moss remained calm when he heard the physical education teacher’s words. He smiled and said, “I just won the lottery, didn’t I?”
