Chapter 81 - Preparation for the Individual PK Competition

In the evening at the White Deer High’s conference room, Na’er sat next to the director’s seat at the huge conference table. A thick stack of documents was on the table, and Na’er’s expression was exceptionally grave.

The director had yet to arrive, and the teachers revealed joyous expressions as they whispered amongst themselves about the team Mystic Realm Competition yesterday.

“It’s a pity that I couldn’t watch the team Mystic Realm competition. Both our school’s teams had completed the two-star Mystic Realm! That’s amazing!”

“It’s indeed a pity you couldn’t make it. The scale and atmosphere at the annual school professional competition were unprecedented. Also, both teams performed exceedingly well, especially Team Moss. They managed to complete all three stages.”

“Team Moss completed their missions and surpassed the Super Whirlwinds in the third stage. Did you see the audience’s reaction? They were all dumbfounded!”

“The contrast between Number Two High was even greater. One second, they celebrated too early, and the next, they were completely silent as if no one was there. It’s simply too embarrassing!”

Miss Aisha, who sat in the middle, couldn’t help but feel proud when she heard the teachers talking about Team Moss’s outstanding performance. A happy smile appeared on her face.

Team Moss drew the two-star Mystic Realm even though their overall strength was the least favored. Nonetheless, they unexpectedly survived again and again. Miss Aisha grew prouder of her students, from the audience doubting them to gradually getting recognized.

Creak!

The door to the conference room opened, and the director walked in high-spiritedly just as everyone discussed the events of the team Mystic Realm competition.

The conference room, which was in heated discussion just a moment ago, was now in pin-drop silence.

“We’ve gathered everyone here today to brainstorm and discuss a strategy for the upcoming individual Player Kill competition that will start the day after tomorrow.”

“Na’er will share the information she gathered with you all. Then we will discuss the specific plan according to each team’s situation.” The director went straight to the point and nodded to Na’er, who sat beside him.

Na’er nodded in response and cleared her throat. Then she said sternly, “The ten participants from our school have made relatively optimistic draws. The participants are divided into different groups, except for a few students who will meet with members of the top five teams.”

“The other students won’t be meeting with any strong opponents in the other groups.”

Hearing this, the teachers smiled one after another, and some even began to imagine their school winning the annual school professional competition.

However, Na’er’s face remained gloomy, tightly knitting her eyebrows together. She drank a mouthful of water and continued, “But Moss’s draw is unsatisfactory. He drew B2-26, which means he’s in Group 18. He will meet with the Super Whirlwind’s Holy Alchemist, Deng Lun.”

“Several powerful players gathered in Area B2, where Moss is. One of the crowd favorites, White, is also among them. Almost every matchup will be a tough battle. It’s disastrous for Moss. Sigh…”

Na’er sighed and looked at Miss Aisha gloomily as she spoke. There was a hint of unwillingness on Na’er’s face.

Miss Aisha’s heart was already in her throat before she could finish listening to Na’er. Her heart stiffened, and she started frantically breathing when she saw Na’er looking at her gloomily.

Miss Aisha was displeased about Moss’s terrible draw. Miss Aisha felt that Moss’s prospects for the individual Player Kill competition were bleak even though she had high expectations for Moss.

As the conference room fell into a tense atmosphere, the director’s deep voice sounded, “We can no longer change the draw results, teachers. We only need to discuss a feasible plan to ensure that our teams achieve the ideal results in the individual Player Kill competition.”

The teachers looked at the director in unison and nodded.

“Indeed, Moss’s draw is unfortunate, and I am deeply regretful. But luck is also a factor in any competition. Na’er and Miss Aisha will look for Moss and talk to him when this conference ends. We have to focus on the individual and team Player Kill competitions!”

“I will divide everyone into ten groups, each with ten participating students for a special discussion. I want you all to send a proposal to my office before you go to work tomorrow.”

Then the director waved his hand and looked at the teachers with his sparkling eyes. “All right, let’s hurry up and get to work.”

Na’er stood up and sent the information she gathered to all the discussion group leaders when the director finished speaking.

“Mill is in Group A1-3, which isn’t much of a threat. She shouldn’t have problems advancing into the next round. But she will run into the Super Whirlwind’s Crossbow Master, Will, in rounds eight to sixteen.”

“Bass’s group, A2-13, is somewhat average. But in round thirty-two, he will meet someone from Number Eight High. From that point on, his opponent will grow increasingly stronger.”

“Combining Bass’s flexibility and agility while focusing on his long-ranged attacks will be his magic weapon against increasingly stronger opponents…”

Miss Aisha heard the heated discussions and looked at the opponents’ information, flustered.

The opponents’ skills, pieces of equipment, and levels were in front of Miss Aisha. Furthermore, their classes were also different. Knights wouldn’t have to put much effort into dealing with those who focused on physical attacks, but they would struggle when faced with opponents with attribute attacks.

With this in mind, the teachers would have to carry out a comprehensive analysis of every possible opponent and come up with counter-measures that Moss could use to win.

However, it would add considerable challenges to Moss’s battle preparations. It was an even more significant test for Miss Aisha to do such heavy loads of work in such a short amount of time.

“Oh, Moss…”

Miss Aisha felt that Moss was in an uphill battle. Time flew by as the teachers intensely discussed their strategies, and two hours passed in a flash.

Na’er walked around the conference room and discovered that each group was almost done planning. The more detailed work could be further refined and implemented after the conference.

Then she approached the director and said respectfully, “Director, the planning is almost done. I will sort through each group’s plans and send them to your office as soon as possible. Do you have any other instructions for me?”

The director nodded at Na’er and looked at the teachers as he said solemnly, “My dear teachers, the individual Player Kill competition is also significant to every participant. It will affect their chance of claiming the Future Star award.

“Although it’s tough to obtain the Future Star award, we still have to face difficulties head-on. As teachers, we should do an excellent job of tutoring and guiding our students. Help them maintain a determined and confident attitude throughout the competition.”

Then the director paused and continued, “I propose that a full-time instructor be assigned to each student. The instructor will then be responsible for overall coordination while serving the students well.”

Seeing as the teachers nodded with approval, the director looked at his watch and said, “It’s getting late, so let’s call it a day. Meeting adjourned!”

When the director finished speaking, Na’er took the lead and applauded.
