Chapter 63: Jasmine's Identity

A day later, the results of the draw for the fourth round of the Phil team were announced, and Kenneth's luck was still very stable, as Rickon's Bertlem team was once again drawn with a bye to advance to the final, while the Frir team needed to play the semi-finals against Franken before they could play them again.

The Phil team members didn't blame Kenneth for his steady luck except for a few jokes, but if they knew that it was all due to Kenneth's protection, I am afraid it would be a different story.

After knowing the results of the draw, as is customary, the Phil team gathered again for a pre-match meeting, and Alston was the first to release the information he had received about the Franconian team.

"Franconia has eight players, six men and two women, and no substitutes. One of the captains, named Peter Blaitze, is a very commanding and adaptable player, who can often be the brain of the Franconian team on the pitch, organizing the players to make the right responses. But Franconia's trump card was not their captain, but their number seven, a centre-forward named Nickles Gale. According to conservative estimates, he is a second-order magician, but by the third round, he has already used five different second-order wind and water magic, and the possibility that he is already a third-order magician cannot be ruled out. And the rest of the team except for two girls also played well. Peter's strong command, coupled with Nicklers' equally strong execution, relied on this dual-core combat system to make it all the way to the semi-finals of Group C, and their strength should not be underestimated. At the end of the day, Auston's face had become very serious, and he was no longer as comfortable as he was before the previous game.

"Hear you say that...... Mona nodded her lips and swept around the crowd, "This Franconian team looks like ours!" ā€

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and when Mona said this, they could indeed feel a strong sense of dƩjƠ vu.

Brandon glanced at Auston and said disdainfully: "How can this guy compare to the captain of other people, but Kenny will definitely not lose to that guy called What's Kerks!" ā€

Kenneth, who was sitting on the sofa on the right, was also a lord who didn't know what modesty was, and grinned: "Of course! ā€

Auston gave Brandon a blank look and said, "I don't know if I'm better than the other team's captain, but I know that you idiot can't even pass people with the ball!" ā€

Brandon's face froze, and he pulled the hat above his head and ignored Auston. Although Brandon has played three games and usually practiced, his skills are still poor, not even as good as Lisa, who is also a beginner.

After cleaning up Brandon, Auston was in a good mood, but when he thought of the opponent they were about to face, he couldn't help but calm down, and said to everyone: "Although they are very similar to us, I have to say that except for Kenneth, we have a big gap with each other in other aspects." This game is probably the toughest game we've faced so far. ā€

Hearing Auston say this, the others also realized the seriousness of the situation, and Lisa looked at Auston and asked, "Tactics?" Countermeasure? ā€

Auston thought about it, roughly understood what Lisa wanted to say, and then shook his head slightly in frustration and said: "Their strength lies in the fact that they don't use any tactics that can be summarized at all, they just adapt to the opponent's tactics, and suppress them with their strength after cracking the opponent's tactics, I don't know how to formulate countermeasures for such an opponent." ā€

The atmosphere in the villa became a little heavy for a while, and Kenneth opened his mouth to break the silence and said, "Don't be so pessimistic, we can just adapt to the situation when the time comes?" ā€

Kenneth also had his own confidence in saying this. The benefits given to him by Hephaestus' brief awakening were enormous, first of all, the strength of his body increased again, and at the same time, his mental power was also increased to the strength of a third-order magician because of Hephaestus. And as if he was talented, countless first- to third-order fire-based magic arrays immediately appeared in his mind, that is to say, Kenneth was now a genuine third-order fire-based magician. I wonder how far Hephaestus will grow when he wakes up completely. Kenneth was looking forward to this.

Hearing this, Auston smiled helplessly, and said to Kenneth: "It's not a simple thing to improvise, to be honest, there are only three people in our team who can play football, me, you and Kevin, and the ball skills are not too outstanding, it is difficult to reach the level of the Franconian team." ā€

Alston's words immediately reminded Kenneth of the scene when he was stolen by Marcas, and it is true that his ball skills are not good, but he can only rely on his body strengthened by the power of the dragon to repeatedly steal possession for the team. Thinking of this, Kenneth's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, we also have our advantages!" ā€

Everyone cast curious glances at Kenneth, and Mona asked, "Captain, what can you do?" ā€

"We are not as skilled as others, so why compare our skills with others?" Kenneth said categorically, "We're going to have to beat our opponents by brute force!" ā€

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Brandon covered his face and said pessimistically: "It's over, our captain is a stupid guy who can only do things, how can we play against that Franconian team?" ā€

Kenneth was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Brandon, who was huddled on a sofa with him: "Bran, it seems that you can't talk about me like that here, right?" Aren't you also a hands-on idiot? ā€

Brandon glared, "Kenny, who are you talking about stupid?!" ā€

"Of course you're talking about you idiot!" But Auston couldn't take it anymore and interrupted, "Kenneth said...... Well, it's not entirely unreasonable, but I think we've got to come up with a new tactic that might make Franconian uncrackable. ā€

"New tactics...... the crowd murmured.

New tactics are not so easy to come up with, after all, tactics are mainly based on the magic they have learned, and almost all the people in the Phil House are people who have just come into contact with magic, and most of them have only mastered the two magic techniques taught in the basic magic class of earth wall or accelerated movement, in addition to the common and easy-to-obtain magic such as restoration, strong wind, and small perception improvement, the limitations of being able to come up with new tactics are too great.

But because of Kenneth's strong physical ability, the Phil team has infinite possibilities.

At this time, Kevin, who had always been calm, raised his wand in his hand and wrote in the air: "Football tactics? ā€

These four words were like a lighthouse on the sea and suddenly cleared away the gloom blocking Auston's mind, Auston looked at Kenneth and said excitedly: "Improvisation, improvisation, Kenneth, it turns out that what you said is right!" ā€

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and Mona said angrily, "Auston, you look so stupid like this!" ā€

Auston hurriedly retracted his expression and said to the others: "Kevin reminded me that we are only first-year students, and the other side is similar to us except for that Nickles, and we also have strange beings like Kenneth, so we should focus more on the tactics of football itself, after all, magic is only used for surprise attacks." ā€

Everyone nodded abruptly, and then Mona continued to look up at Auston and asked, "So what about our tactics?" ā€

"Uh......" Alston said sheepishly, geasing his head, "I've just figured out where to go with our tactics right now, and it's going to take a little time......"

Everyone nodded abruptly again, the expression on their faces was obviously much happier, and every time Auston could immediately think of a countermeasure, it was very good, but it also brought them a lot of pressure on their IQ.

However, it was natural for the crowd to regard Auston as their brainstorm, and while Auston sat on the couch on his left and thought about tactics, the others began to chat.

Kenneth looked at Jasmine, who had been with everyone for a while, and asked curiously, "Jasmine, what is your full name, I don't seem to have heard you say it?" ā€

Kenneth just asked casually, but unexpectedly, Mona and Lisa suddenly looked at Kenneth vigilantly, Mona's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and she smiled maliciously and said, "Captain, what's the matter, you have a crush on our Jasmine?" ā€

"How, how, how, how is it possible?!" Kenneth accidentally bit his mouth, jumped up from the sofa excitedly, looked at Jasmine with a frightened look and quickly clarified, "I definitely didn't mean that!" Mona, don't talk nonsense! ā€

"Oh~~?" Mona asked in a long voice, "Then what are you doing so much about Jasmine's last name?" ā€

Kenneth scratched his head and said, "I just think that we and Jasmine are already friends, but we don't even know each other's names, so it feels a little weird, right?" ā€

Jasmine didn't expect Kenneth to say this, so she was stunned for a moment and then lowered her head and whispered, "I—I didn't know that you had come to see me as a friend or friend......"

Brandon, who was sitting next to Kenneth, said cheerfully: "We've all played together for two games, so if it's not a friend, how can it be a friend?" ā€

Jasmine had a touched expression on her face, so she asked Mona in a low voice, "Mona, I think everyone is a partner you can trust, there should be no need to hide it, right?" ā€

Mona frowned, glanced at the four boys, and threatened, "If you dare to speak out, this girl will definitely break off your friendship!" ā€

Brandon asked a little strangely, "Mona, what is your relationship with Jasmine?" How does it seem like Jasmine's housekeeper? ā€

Mona glanced at Brandon and said, "What a housekeeper, of course she's a good girlfriend." Lisa and I have been good friends with Jasmine for a long time, but we didn't worry that Jasmine would come here to go to school, so I followed her here. ā€

At this time, Jasmine stood up, exhaled a long breath, and said to everyone with a slight apology: "I'm sorry to introduce myself now, my full name is Jasmine Alexia." ā€

Kenneth and Brandon, who were short on knowledge in this area, just looked at Jasmine and blinked, then nodded and said in unison, "Oh." ā€

Auston glanced at the two helplessly, but when he looked at Jasmine, a look of shock unconsciously appeared on his face, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Are you the daughter of Duke Alexia?" ā€

The region located in the northeastern part of the empire is Alexia.

At this time, Kenneth and Brandon's mouths opened into an "O" shape at the same time, and they looked at Jasmine and said in surprise: "Duke, Duke's daughter?!" ā€
