Chapter 110 - Difficult Choice!

The team Player Kill competition became clearer when those teams secured a spot in the top eight.

The two teams from White Deer High unexpectedly entered the top eight simultaneously, meaning they could obtain a spot in the top four.

Although Number Two High’s alliance had lost a few matches unexpectedly, they would still secure two spots in the top four in Zone A2 and B2.

Number Three High’s alliance lost control of Zone A1. Still, their new alliance member, Number Eleven High, had defeated the Mighty Winds from Number Four High, meaning Number Three High’s alliance could obtain a spot in the semi-finals.

The final battle situation was also apparent. White Deer High and Number Three High’s opponents in the semi-finals would be Number Two High’s alliance teams.

The only unknown factor in the quarter-finals was which of the two teams from Zone A1 and White Deer High would represent White Deer High in the following matches.

This question had always troubled the Elroy, Na’er, and teachers of White Deer High. Na’er and the teachers sat around a long conference table in White Deer High, discussing this question intensely.

“I was worried one of our teams wouldn’t make it to the top eight, but both did. It’s blissful yet concerning,” Na’er said with a wry smile as she stroked her chin.

“Can we merge them into a stronger team to participate in the next round?”

“Oh, that’s a good idea!”

“Stop dreaming. The competition has a clear rule. Even if one of the participants is injured, we cannot choose a substitute from another team. We can only choose a substitute who hasn’t participated in the competition.”

“Our current participants are grateful for participating in this rare occasion. None of them would be willing to give up their place.”

“Yes, but there will be a losing side either way. If the two teams fight with all their might to advance, it will benefit the other teams.”

The teachers discussed fervently but couldn’t come up with an expected result.

“Ahem,” Elroy cleared his throat to express his opinion, so the conference room immediately quieted down. “Since it is between Team Moss and Team Mill, we should let them resolve it themselves.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the teachers began to whisper to each other in twos and threes.

“How would they resolve this?”

“Sigh, it’s our fault for not planning well!”

“We should look on the bright side. No matter what, at least one of our teams has entered the semi-finals.”

Seeing that the teachers were still discussing animatedly, Na’er, who understood Elroy’s intentions, opened her mouth and said, “Teachers, Director Elroy said to let them solve it themselves. The best way to do it is to keep going since it’s a competition. It’s straightforward. Whoever wins will advance.”

“We won’t play any dirty tricks.”

“But we must keep an eye on the students to prevent them from getting injured during the competition.”

Elroy nodded smilingly and added, “Miss Aisha, Miss Masha, your work is crucial since Moss and Mill are your respective students. Their psychological counseling work needs your utmost attention. All right, that’s it for today. Go and do what you need to, everyone.”

Then Elroy got up and left the conference room.

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. White Deer Giant Stadium ushered in the last round of the annual school professional competition.

Before the competition resumed, the organizing committee issued an announcement.

The general public closely watched the competition as more people came to the stadium. The stadium could accommodate fifty thousand people and could no longer contain the public’s rising enthusiasm.

Therefore, the mayor decided to use the paladin training grounds, which usually hosted an international competition, as a venue for the semi-finals of the team Player Kill competition and finals for the individual Player Kill competition.

The audience’s blood boiled when they heard the announcement. They became even more excited. Everyone knew that the paladin training grounds would usually only host international competitions.

The audience knew it would be an incredibly glorious moment for them if they could watch the competition from the paladin training grounds.

The first match that day would be between Team Moss and Team Mill. The audience thought it would be a formality and incredibly dull match. However, the two representing teams from White Deer High presented the audience with an exceptionally fantastic match.

The match lasted forty minutes before Team Moss finally took down the wine mage from Mill’s team, significantly reducing the power of Mill’s fireballs while gradually obtaining the final victory.

The brilliant performance of the first and second teams also won the applause and cheers of the audience.

During that time, it also caused a heated discussion among the audience.

“What a rare occasion!”

“That match was too exciting! I thought Team Moss and Team Mill would have decided which of them would proceed to the next round beforehand to reduce internal friction and that the match would just be a formality!”

“I like their professionalism!”

“Their pure enjoyment of the match moved me, and they fought valiantly!”

“Well said, sir! Their battle moved me too!”

Na’er and Elroy were delighted with the results, but not because Team Moss had advanced to the semi-finals. Instead, it was because the two teams performed wonderfully without injuries.

When the match ended, Team Mill took the lead in congratulating Team Moss.

“Congratulations, Moss. You guys were great. You are more qualified than us to represent White Deer High in the following matches,” Mill said sincerely with a smile.

Mill felt relaxed at that time since the match was over. Her smile was bright and sincere.

Moss blushed and became speechless when he saw Mill’s big dreamy eyes. He slowly approached Mill and said, “Thanks, Mill! We were just luckier, that’s all. We took down the wine mage because we happened to grasp his cooldown time. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be certain who would win.”

“You guys must do your best. I sincerely hope you can obtain the Future Star award!”

“I’ll do my best for you.” Before Moss could say more, Mill turned around and ran away smilingly.

…

The following matches were just as everyone had expected. The Crimson Fires, Youth Forces, and Super Whirlwinds also entered the semi-finals to everyone’s expectations.

Although the quarter-finals ended calmly and uneventfully, undercurrents surged behind the seemingly ordinary stage for the semi-finals and finals.
