Chapter 103 - The Decision of the Team Competition

Meanwhile, Number Three High’s director arrived at the secret room door when he heard a heated discussion.

“It was fortunate that we got the news beforehand. Otherwise, two days wouldn’t be enough for us to prepare.”

“Number Two High’s alliance was already a headache to deal with, and now there’s Moss. I think the old man from White Deer High is trying to stir up some trouble in this year’s competition.”

“If there’s any other team in Zone A1, I’m sure they can’t come back. We’re determined to win zone A1!”

“That’s true. No matter Moss’s strength as a knight, he’s still one person. The team Player Kill competition is about teamwork and complementary advantages.”

Creak!

Number Three High’s director pushed the door open and entered the secret room. Number Six and Nine High and several influential alliance members immediately stood up and saluted Number Three High’s director.

The initially lively secret room immediately quieted down. Number Three High’s director waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down.

“There’s no need for formalities, brethren. I just returned from a meeting with the Secretary-general of the National Professional Alliance and got delayed a few minutes,” Number Three High’s director explained his tardiness smilingly.

Then he continued, “The Secretary-general said he would help us with resources if we can win the Future Star award this year.”

“That would greatly boost our future development!”

“That’s great!”

“Let’s continue discussing the upcoming matches, brethren.” Number Three High’s director waved his hand, bringing the topic back to the competition.

Number Nine High summarized the previous matches, “Although the organizing committee had yet to announce the results of the team Mystic Realm competition, we have laid a good foundation for it considering the Super Whirlwinds and other team’s performance.”

“Even if only one of our schools enters the top four of the individual Player Kill competition, Voss’s strength was still better than Turner’s. Moreover, Voss held back, which significantly benefited us.”

Following that, Number Six High analyzed the situation by combining the draw for the team Player Kill competition and Number Three High’s alliance future trend.

“Third Brother is right. The Future Star award is in our bag as long as the Youth Forces and Super Whirlwinds perform well.”

“Judging from the current draw, we will likely claim two spots in the top four!”

Number Three High’s director nodded, stroked his beard, and said smilingly, “It may be a blessing in disguise. Although we only got one spot in the semifinals in the individual Player Kill competition, we also hid our strength well.”

“Since everyone has turned their attention to Number Two High’s alliance, we can operate in the shadows, making it conducive to our plans,” Number Three High’s director seemed to recall something as he spoke. His smile deepened as he continued, “Snow called me when I was on the way back. He clarified that he wants to join our alliance.”

“Are they planning to spy on us?” Number Six High’s director asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

“So what if they’re here to spy on us? Why don’t we try and find out?” Number Nine High’s director rolled his eyes and smiled menacingly.

“W-What?” Number Six High’s director looked at Number Nine High’s director in puzzlement.

“If they enter the top sixteen, they will face the Mighty Winds from Number Four High. We can provide them with resources to catch the Mighty Winds off guard.”

“However, their next opponent will be the Youth Forces, so we will undoubtedly get a spot in the top four!”

“That rules out the possibility of Number Eleven High being spies. We can look for other opportunities to test them out if they lose. Whatever it is, there’s no loss for us,” Number Nine High’s director analyzed smugly.

“That’s highly possible!” Number Three High’s director nodded and looked at Number Nine High’s director with a gratified expression. Then he continued, “I want you to meet with Snow and pass him the message. We won’t mistreat them if they complete the job.”

Beep! Beep!

Number Three High’s director looked at his phone, and his expression turned gloomy. “I just received a message from Snow. He told me that Meeks has joined Number Two High’s alliance.”

“Damn, Meeks is only concerned with climbing the ladder. He feigned ignorance and said he wanted to remain neutral when I invited him to join us last year. Now that he can’t get any points, he went to Number Two High’s alliance.”

Number Nine High’s director’s eye glinted with a fierce light. He slammed the table and continued to speak with righteousness, “I’ll teach them a lesson in the top sixteen!”

“Don’t get excited, Third Brother. Your half of the zone isn’t an easy one since the Super Whirlwinds are there. However, it’s okay if you can’t beat them. Just try to exhaust them instead.”

“Keep a close eye on your group, Second Brother. You’re the strongest in Zone A1. But!” Number Three High’s director changed the topic, and his expression became even more severe. “Although we are in a decent situation, we must not be careless, especially with Moss! The Future Star award is too important to us. We must not miss such an excellent opportunity.”

Number Six High’s director nodded and smiled menacingly. “Okay, Big Brother.”

“Although Moss is a strong individual, this is a team competition. No matter how capable he is, he can’t withstand five people attacking him simultaneously.”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother!”

…

Meanwhile, the core figures of Number Two High’s alliances were still discussing the upcoming competition in Taylor’s office.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Taylor picked up his phone and saw that Number Twelve High’s director was calling him. He pressed the loudspeaker button and heard the director’s respectful voice, “Hello, Director Taylor, this is Meeks. I want to ask you something.”

“Oh? What is it?” Taylor asked, pretending to be surprised.

“Number Twelve High sincerely hopes to join your alliance. Will you agree?”

Number Two High’s alliance core member’s eyes lit up when they heard that. They all wanted Taylor to agree to Meeks’s request immediately. Taylor deliberately paused as he sounded hesitant, “A-About that…”

“Please accept us, Director Taylor! We will prove our worth with our performance in the competition.”

“All right, I will give you a chance,” Taylor said reluctantly, enunciating each word. Then he hung up the phone.

“Congratulations, Brother Taylor! Our alliance is ever-growing.”

“Yes, Brother Taylor. Number Twelve High is now a part of our alliance.”

“Don’t celebrate just yet, Brothers. Let’s see how Number Twelve High performs. They’re calling in this time because they want a slice of the cake,” Number Ten High’s director was still as expressionless as ever.

“Sixth Brother is right. We should let Number Twelve High destroy Number Nine High’s team in Area B2 so that the Super Whirlwinds can make it to the top four,” Number Five High’s director said, smiling sinisterly.

“That’s a good move, Third Brother!”

“Hahaha!”

Complacent laughter filled the entire office.
