Chapter 60: Infighting
McGee in the rest area.
One of McGee's strikers looked at Marcas, who was with his hands on his knees and his head bowed without saying a word, and asked, "Marcus, are you alright?" ”
Marcus didn't respond at all.
One of the center forwards sitting next to Marcus pushed Marcus' shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Marcus, are you okay?" ”
"Don't bother me!" But when Marcus brushed away his companion's hand, he suddenly got up and let out a roar.
Another center forward wearing the No. 18 jersey glanced at Marcas, stopped the water bottle raised to his mouth and said, "It's obvious that you yourself failed to keep that No. 10, what kind of tantrum at Roji?" ”
"What did you say?!" Marcus rushed to Eighteen, stared at him with dark eyes, and said, "Do you want to say it again?" ”
Although they had only been together for a little more than a month, the first-year students of McGee House had a general understanding of each other's personalities, and they admitted that Marcus was very powerful, and that he was indeed the strongest freshman among the nine, especially after knowing his dual identity as an adventurer and a magician, they agreed to make him the captain of McGee's team.
But they didn't respect him, in large part because of his arrogant personality and foul mouth. Also, although they don't know why the opposite side is always injured inexplicably in every game, they can vaguely feel that it is related to Marcas, which deepens their disgust for Marcus.
No. 18 looked at Marcas with a distorted face in front of him, and just continued with a sarcastic face: "Originally, we should have changed our tactics in time when you found that you couldn't catch up with No. 10, but you thought like an idiot that you could hold No. 10 and let us be scored eleven goals in a row by the opposite side, but you should tell me whose fault it is?" You're the captain like that? ”
Marcas almost went crazy after hearing this, looking at the yellow-haired young man in front of him with a look of accusing himself, his hands trembled and wanted to punch him in the face, but the person in front of him was a noble child, Marcas could only suppress the anger in his heart, and sat back without saying a word.
Seeing that Marcus still had no plans to set up tactics for the second half after Marcus sat back, he directly left him and said to the other McGee players: "Let's discuss the tactics for the second half." ”
"Robert, is it still necessary? We can't win, can we? McGee's No. 12 striker bowed his head, and the others followed.
Last night, because of Marcus's self-confidence declaration, they did not prepare other tactics, at this time, their original control tactics were restrained by the opponent's purification technique, and Marcus, the only one who could stop Kenneth, was completely left behind by others, and he couldn't even touch other people's backs, what new tactics could they think of now?
The eighteenth, named "Robert", shook his head and said, "Do you really think that this sports meeting is just an ordinary sports meeting?" ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" The striker asked, looking up.
Robert took a sip of water and said, "It's only been a month, and the only magic that freshmen learn is the earth wall technique and the accelerated movement magic taught in the basic magic class. I really don't think there's anything worth wasting nearly a month of study time on a magic soccer game like this. ”
When Robert said this, everyone else showed doubts on their faces, and nodded: "Yes, listening to you say this, the magic football game in the first grade does seem redundant......"
"So," Robert said, holding out a middle finger, "this game must not be that simple. ”
"Then Robert, do you know the purpose of the Academy?" A boy asked.
"Of course I didn't know, so I went out of my way to ask the second-year seniors, and as I expected, the Games were not so simple." Robert paused and continued, "Do you remember the final practical assessment that Sophia said in the first Fundamentals of Magic class? ”
The crowd nodded uncertainly.
"Twenty percent of the results are based on the team scores in the Games. In addition, there are ministers of the student council sitting somewhere in the stadium at the moment, and if they perform well, it is very likely that they will receive an invitation from the student council. ”
"Is this true?!" Hearing Robert say this, everyone on the McGee team shouted in surprise, they didn't expect that this ordinary sports meeting was still closely related to their final grades, and they might even be favored by the ministers of the student union and absorbed into the student union.
Of course, they know the power of the student union, and at the same time, the student union also has huge college resources, magic equipment, magic arrays, gems, magic wands, etc., as long as you enter the student union, these may be obtained for free. Moreover, the students who can enter the student council are the top class of people in the school, and it is natural to benefit from making friends with them. That's why the freshmen were so envious when they learned that Kenneth had been invited to the student council by the student president.
After listening to Robert's words, everyone's previous depression was swept away and the fighting spirit was ignited again.
Robert nodded with satisfaction, but seeing that Marcus was still in a trance, he frowned and said, "Marcus, don't you understand?" With your strength, as long as you perform well enough, you will definitely receive an invitation from the student council, so cheer yourself up. ”
And Marcus only glanced at Robert with a sneering face, and snorted coldly: "The student union is a fart, and I won't go if you ask me to go." It's only that monster, and I'm going to beat him! ”
Everyone looked at Marcus helplessly, they only felt angry about his willfulness, but they were helpless against him, who made him their captain?
"Leave him alone, just let him go." Robert shook his hand and said, "Anna's response is an example for us to learn, the striker and center keep an eye on the number ten, seize the opportunity to control him, and then use the numerical advantage to attack!" As soon as they use the midfield tactics, you two defenders rush forward! Run as fast as you can! ”
Just as everyone nodded, it was Marcas who spoke up again: "That number ten is my prey, don't meddle with me!" ”
This time everyone finally couldn't take it anymore, Robert got up and walked up to Marcas, grabbed his jersey collar and said, "What the hell are you thinking?!" Do we have to wait for us to lose before we are convinced? I'm telling you, you're just not as good as the number ten on the other side! Got it?! ”
“…… What did you say? Marcus asked, looking down.
"You're just not as good as the number ten on the other side, do you hear me clearly?" Robert said without hesitation.
A fierce look flashed in Marcas's drooping black eyes, and then he reached out his right hand and smacked Robert's left leg with a weight at a speed that none of the McGee team members could see.
This is also a bronze-level martial art, called "Dark Energy", which can concentrate all your strength into the enemy's body in one blow, causing hidden damage to the enemy's bones or organs, and when the enemy moves, the injury will explode instantly, causing huge damage to the enemy, which is a very suitable skill for sneak attacks and assassinations. Previously, Auston was also injured by Marcas's dark energy.
Marcus was able to learn these martial arts because his father was a gold-level adventurer, Marcus was rigorously trained by his father as an adventurer since he was a child, until he discovered his talent as a magician at the age of eleven, Marcus decided to become a magician, but the bronze martial arts and fighting style taught by his father were firmly engraved in his bones, making him an absolute outlier among magicians.
All this has cultivated his empty-eyed and unscrupulous mentality, but he can't withstand setbacks, and at this time he heard Robert say that he was not as good as the captain of the Phil team, so he finally couldn't hold back, and even used his martial arts "dark energy" against him as his companion.
"Y-What's wrong with you? Did you hear me clearly?! Seeing that Marcus was just hanging his head and not saying a word, Robert asked loudly and let go of his hand to push him away.
"Marcus, don't be too presumptuous, after all, that number ten is a super freshman who was personally invited by the president to enter the student union as the head of a department, and it's normal that you can't compare to him~" But a stronger boy said to Marcas.
Marcus jerked his head up and looked at the chubby boy, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, so frightened that the boy immediately didn't dare to say anything more.
Marcus straightened his collar, then stood in front of everyone and said, "I'm the captain of Team McGee, this is your original choice, since I can take you here, then I'll be honest and obedient, understand?" That number ten is my prey, you all get out of the way for me! ”
Everyone glanced at each other, and they all saw dissatisfaction and resentment in each other's eyes, but because of Marcas's deterrentness, they could only nod.
But Robert was still dissatisfied: "If we continue like this, we will definitely lose ugly!" So how can I still be appreciated by the student council? ”
Marcus suddenly appeared in front of Robert, picked up Robert and brought him in front of him, and said gloomily: "How can I have time to care about you so much?" My goal is to defeat that obnoxious number ten and win this game! If you say one more nonsense that has nothing to do with the game, I'll let you sit here for the second half, do you hear me? ”
The captain has the power to change people, and Marcas's threat is definitely not groundless, so Robert has no choice but to grit his teeth and nod and succumb to Marcas's obscenity.
Just then, the whistle blew at the end of the break, and the second half of the game between the Fields and McGee began.
Marcus got up and walked into the pitch without saying anything, while the rest of McGee's players were all angry and didn't dare to speak, and their eyes flashed as if they had reached a consensus.
The players of both teams entered the field separately, and after the change of field, the Phil team was left with only six men, and the McGee team still had a full eight-man formation, but the current situation on the field was that the Phil team was in an absolute advantage, simply because of their captain who stood at the front and played as the striker.
Since the first half ended the game with a goal from the Phil team, it was McGee's turn to kick off.
When Marcas heard the opening whistle, he immediately used magic to accelerate his movement and martial arts, and walked forward with the ball towards the Phil team's penalty area, which was amazingly fast!
However, Marcus did not dare to relax in his heart, and two seconds later, a blank Kenneth appeared in front of him.
Marcus gritted his teeth and had to try to pass the ball to his teammate. However, when Marcus looked around, he found that he was the only one who had burst into the field of the Phil team, and the other two strikers who were supposed to attack with him were still standing still.
With the exception of Marcus, all of the McGee players stood motionless, like silent stone statues, casting an indifferent gaze at Marcus.
"Football is not a one-man game. Idiot. These were the cold words that a stunned Marcus heard from Kenneth when he was taken away by him.
