Chapter 57: Goal: Ten consecutive team wins
Ivan got up early today, not to practice more diligently than before, but to start the team competition. If you have breakfast in the restaurant, you can hear the sound of discussions, all about the team competition.
"Hey, the team competition is about to start, and I've never played against anyone before, so it's so exciting to think about it now! I don't know what kind of opponent I'll meet......"
"I heard that the team competition uses a lottery to determine the opponent, and if a team draws the opponent, the opponent will automatically lose the qualification for this round of draw......"
"I heard that the cultivation effect of the magic tower is excellent, and it can significantly increase the speed of cultivation. Everyone is a first-order, I decided to fight and get more than five victories!"
What a group of energetic teenagers! I can always have a great interest in simple things, unlike my former self, who was already a salted fish when he was only in his twenties. However, no one is willing to be a salted fish, but the helplessness of life has to be a salted fish. Maybe it's because I'm not working hard enough, not motivated enough, and more often than not, I can't see hope.
Now that I am fortunate enough to be able to become a member of the control force, there is no reason to go down to salted fish, God has given you a chance and you don't know how to catch it, so you can only be a dead fish!
After eating, Ivan came to the training ground, today's training ground was particularly lively, and a large number of students were already waiting excitedly.
"Ivan, here and here. The eldest elder Yuanlin began to wave to Ivan, and his somewhat childish face was full of excitement and nervousness, and his face was red because of this, and he looked really cute.
"Lin, you are still full of energy! Do well today and get a good result. Ivan forgot about the embarrassment of the previous two days and cheered for Lynn.
"Ivan, is the match in command of you or me?" Joe didn't seem to have any intention of giving up on competing for captain.
"If you want it, then ladies first, I believe in your ability, let's get off to a good start!"
"Okay, that's it, I'll come first in the first five games, so as not to alternate commanding the players and not being able to accept the impact on the performance. โ
"Okay, Joe, hurry up and draw lots, I don't like to be chosen by others, and we take the initiative to choose opponents. โ
Joe starts to line up for the draw, the box is a magic box, enter the team number on the box, if it is not drawn, it can be drawn, if it has been drawn, the opponent's number and the opponent's field will be displayed.
"Fortunately, it was our chosen opponent, and the sign showed EยทII., which was the second team in Group E. Joe showed everyone the sign. Sure enough, the signing not only had the opponent's team number, but also the place and time. At eight o'clock in the F field of Zone 1, it was the time when the first round began.
"It's 7:40 now, we still have plenty of time, let's get ready, gather in Field F in ten minutes, don't be late. Joe explained to everyone, and it seemed that he was very skilled in the captain's work.
"We don't have anything to prepare, let's go over together, by the way, get familiar with the venue, don't we need a slogan?" Antar suddenly asked.
"Of course you need to! How can there be no slogan? That's too unimposing, it's better to use 'Brave Squad, invincible.' 'How's it going?' Lynn said with a smug expression.
"It's too much of a brave man, you've seen too many brave stories, you should use the 'magic team, swear to win.' 'Better. "Antar has a different opinion.
Joe, as the captain of the game, didn't express any opinions, just turned his head to look at Ivan, and the consciousness was what do you think? Of course Ivan thinks no, where can such a second line be spoken!
"Your slogans are too unimpressive to reflect our fighting spirit at all. Still listen to me. The slogan is: 'Ten consecutive victories for the team!', which is simple and imposing, reflecting our determination and self-confidence, and suppressing the enemy's momentum. โ
Joe looked at Ivan with a surprised face, she didn't expect Ivan to come up with such a crazy slogan, which was not in line with Ivan's usual style. "I didn't expect you to be such a domineering person, and you are usually approachable. โ
Ivan smiled and didn't speak, thinking to himself that I couldn't tell you that I was moved by myself, and decided to give myself a little challenge in order not to continue salting.
After arriving at the F field, there were already people waiting for a break, it seemed that they were the opponents of this field, and there was a teacher next to him who was observing the students, who should be the teacher who was the referee. There are ten sets of armor ready in the center of the field, and there are no obstacles on the field, it seems that it is just a simple ring match. The ring competition is basically a competition of hard power, and with the strength of a first-order magician, it is estimated that the battle will end in just a few minutes.
There are still five minutes before eight o'clock, and the referee teacher has already counted the number of people, saying that it is a competition, but in the eyes of the teacher, it is just a practice, and looking at the teacher's appearance, it should be one of the actual combat training teachers.
"Now that everyone is here, let's put on our armor and start, it won't take a few minutes, start early and finish early. The referee spoke, and the two teams began to put on their armor.
"Now that you're done, let's get ready to start. โ
"Captain, slogan!" Lin reminded Qiao in a whisper, she didn't pay attention to her opponent when she was so nervous, but cared about everyone forgetting the slogan.
"Let's come together, one-two, our goal?"
"Ten consecutive team wins!" ร five.
Ivan and the others suddenly came with such a sentence, which startled the teacher and the opponent, and they really gained some momentum. The opponent obviously didn't think about it, and for a moment felt that he was a head shorter than the other side.
"Don't care, big words don't make sense, let them see our strength!"
The captain on the opposite side was not easy to match, and a simple sentence brought back the attention of his teammates, so that he was not really shocked.
"Let's go!" the referee gave an order, and the two sides immediately became tense. The two teams are twenty meters apart, this distance is beyond the effective range of first-order magic, and it is not easy to hit first-order magic if it exceeds five meters, and the power accuracy will be greatly reduced at ten meters away, so magicians need to practice casting spells, and magic is not simply sent out.
"Hold your ground, start preparing for the fire method, earth law, and water method! The opponent will come in a straight line and make the first move, the Antar Earth Piercing Technique will predict the release and create obstacles, and the Lin Water Binding Technique will aim at the opposite fire method, and Ivan will strike a second blow and strive to take it once! If it fails, listen to my command again. โ
Joe quickly gave the order, choosing to sit back and wait, and the attacking side generally took the initiative, but it would be difficult to cast spells due to movement. The defender is good for preparation, but it is difficult to aim for a moving opponent and it is easy to miss.
Joe quickly chanted and cast spells, unleashing the Wind Light Technique for Ivan and Lynn in turn. The distance is getting closer and closer, and the nerves of the players on both sides are tense, waiting for the moment of the firefight.
"Let's go!" Joe gave the order, and Antar immediately unleashed the ground stabbing technique, blocking the opponent's front, and the timing was very good, making the opponent a little scattered. The magic in Lin's hand was immediately played, and seeing that the opposite side was about to dodge, Ivan predicted a position and hit it immediately.
At the same time, the magic from the opposite side also attacked, and Ivan was about to dodge, when suddenly Joe's voice came from his ears: "Don't worry about continuing to attack, Alice blocks the attack for Ivan, and I block the attack for Antar." โ
Joe's command stunned Ivan for a while, although this is just a game, but it is not a game, how can people block guns?
But Alice didn't hesitate, a flash Ivan blocked the fireball from the opposite side, although there would be nothing, but Ivan would not use this method. Alice was directly ruled out, and Joe was in front of Antar, but the water law on the opposite side was missed.
"Attack, Ivan!" cried Joe.
Ivan came back to his senses, and a fireball hit the opposite water method, there was no suspense in the game here, there was no means of attack, and the remaining three opponents were a little overwhelmed, and Tufa also wanted to have a ground stabbing technique, but was stopped by his companions, "We lost, there is no need." โ
The teacher then announced Ivan's victory, and then looked at Joe with complicated eyes, trying to say something but not saying it.
"Easy take, Joe, you're still so good. Antar was happy with the victory, "Ivan, what's wrong with you? โ
"Joe, I think there's something wrong with your commanding style, teammates aren't used as shields, and it's just a competition, there's no need to be so ruthless. โ
"It's just a sacrifice necessary for victory, and you said it's just a fight, and there's nothing to lose if you're judged out, and it's a wise man's performance to use the rules. Joe did not agree with Ivan's accusations.
"First of all, there is no real value, we are teammates, and it is impossible to give up anyone. Secondly, we are exercising actual combat, and we will not gain anything by taking advantage of it!"
"I know it's going to be uncomfortable, but it's good to think about it. There will still be sacrifices in head-to-head matchups, and there will be more, and it is not as valuable as sacrifices. Don't you see that I myself was sacrificed, but I just didn't hit the other side. But the last point you said makes sense, we need to think about the long-term gains in doing things. "Joe looks like I understand, and Ivan's dissatisfaction is completely wrong.
"These two sacrifices are different, Joe, people have feelings, and you can't just think about gains and losses......" Ivan was about to debate when Antar and Lin interrupted Ivan.
"Okay, it's good to win anyway, everyone's method is different!" Antar, as a supporter of Joe, naturally didn't feel anything.
"Ivan don't argue with Joe, okay, although I don't agree with Ta's approach, but we have to be considerate of each other, and besides, didn't she agree to change the method!" Lin simply didn't want to ruin the joy of victory because of the argument.
Seeing the dissuasion of his partners, Ivan shook his head helplessly, this is indeed an inconsequential fight, but it also reflects a person's style of acting. Ivan didn't know whether it was ruthless or a rule, and it was a good idea to do it from another angle, but Ivan didn't like it.
