There were no classes in the whole school for half a day this afternoon, and they were specially set aside for club activities, but this has nothing to do with Sophie. After Carl was taken a round, she was not interested in continuing to watch, so she ran to the library to make up for the lessons that had been skipped.

Although she was on the verge of being on the verge of being absent enough to be punished, the course never fell behind. Even if the score is usually low because of absence, the final overall evaluation can still be excellent. As a result, many teachers turned a blind eye to her, except for Professor Max.

After reviewing all her homework, Sophie glanced at the time on the terminal, which was still a moment before her part-time job.

So what to do? Playing ball?

After being rejected one after another, there is a high probability that I will not have the opportunity to touch the Ex-ball for the rest of this semester. While there are not many things at the beginning of the semester, it is better to have a good time.

It's a pity to say that the fourth year of the senior school program is almost a full year of internship, and there is very little time in school. That said, third grade was the last year she had the opportunity to play.

Sophie decided, packed her things, and got up from her chair.

However, before the front foot could go away, he heard—

"Sophie, work hard!"

Hearing this disturbing voice, Sophie immediately decided who it was, she had already taken precautions this time, and locked the other party's two little hands that were restless and wanted to go crazy.

Sophie turned around, took the back collar of her clothes and lifted Xiong Mengmeng up: "Xiaoxiao Sen, this is the library!" Can you pay attention a little bit?!! ”

"Sophie isn't the same...... Besides, now that everyone is in the Lang club activities, how can anyone ...... here" Xiong Mengmeng, who was debunked all at once, muttered, "People are just kind enough to greet you, huh." ”

"Kind to say hello?" Sophie snorted, "You still don't want to pull me into the team?" ”

Xiong Mengmeng broke free from Sophie's clutches, jumped to the ground, and grimaced. "Well, I'm sorry, I just finally got someone, and I don't need you. You're already a woman who has been abandoned by Ben Attack! Wha! ”

Xiong Mengmeng laughed triumphantly.

Sophie was genuinely saddened by the unknown young lady who had been pyramid schemed. However, she herself was relieved that she finally didn't have to be pestered.

However, Sophie seemed to think of something from the past, and her expression immediately changed from snickering joy to speechlessness. "Aren't you going to the women's bathroom again and again to engage in pyramid schemes one by one?"

"Uh-huh, Sophie is so smart!" Xiong Mengmeng gave a thumbs up and smiled brightly.

Scold...... Hehe...... Something she would have done.

Sophie had a black line on her face and asked casually: "Why are you so eager to recruit people?" There are no official competitions in the club...... I've never seen you so active when I was there. ”

"Who said we can't participate in official competitions!" Xiong Mengmeng shook her head with the balls, and the two balls shook up and down crazily, really worried about when they would be thrown out. “MEC！ It's MEC! We want to sign up for MEC Region 2 audition! Hey, you shouldn't have forgotten about MEC and auditions! ”

Sophie reacted, oh yes, now the MEC registration has begun...... It's true, since I changed schools, I haven't been so sensitive to the timing of these events......

Of course, Sophie knows about the audition, and it can be said that she has a very close relationship with the MEC audition.

The MEC is divided into two phases, the Regional Competition and the World Competition. Only the regional tournament winners from each region will enter the World Series.

Originally, it stands to reason that only school teams and some private clubs that pass the annual Ex-ball Association qualification are eligible to participate in the MEC's regional competitions. However, due to various constraints, there may still be good teams that do not qualify and do not qualify for the tournament. In addition, Ex-ball is now a national sport, and the Ex-ball Association hopes to make it possible for all people who love Ex-ball to enjoy the tournament and increase the sense of participation of the whole people. As a result, a system of auditions was created in each region.

Auditions are a mechanism to encourage the discovery of private teams, and as long as the number of people is sufficient, you can sign up to participate. Those private teams with potential but limited by financial and other problems can also get a stepping stone to regional competitions through auditions and attract investors.

Most regions only have two audition places, but fortunately, District 2 is one of the most prosperous administrative districts, and there are a total of three final places for the audition. The teams that advance through the audition will participate in the regional competition together with other regular teams.

It's a shame to say that because the Ex-ball Club of Sophie's Turnip School is too weak and the Ex-ball Association can't pass the assessment, so she is not eligible to directly get a place in the regional competition, so she can only sign up for the audition to fight for the place. Turnip participated in two sessions in total, the first was ranked seventh in points, and the second was thirty-fourth, but neither of them was able to qualify.

"Actually, Sophie, with your talent, you can form a team to fight by yourself." Xiong Mengmeng crossed her hands on her hips and showed her two little tiger teeth with bad intentions, "Of course, when do you want to come back, Lord Ben is very welcome!" ”

Sophie didn't give any affection: "Don't think about it." ”

However, to be honest, she does have a little bit of a heart.

Do you want to form a team on your own...... She suddenly remembered that the Ex-ball Club of Turnip was also founded by herself.

But now that she is alone, how easy is it to pull up six people at once? Moreover, the total number of registered teams in the audition is hundreds or thousands, is it possible to break through? Isn't it a waste of time......

Xiong Mengmeng propped herself up on the table and swayed her legs.

"Hmm, isn't the team of the general attack also the meow that I pulled up with a handful of and urine?"

"Don't underestimate Lord Ben's general attack! Don't look at me like this, I'm no less obsessed with Ex-ball than Sophie! ”

"After all, if you don't try this kind of thing, you should regret it."

"It's the last year we've been able to play Ex-ball wholeheartedly......

Sophie was suddenly poked.

She still wants to play, she won't give up on Ex-ball, and she'll never forget how Ex-ball saved her whole life.

Building a team from scratch, that sounds crazy!

But it's not once or twice that something crazy happens!

Sophie suddenly remembered someone who could be as crazy as herself.

"Thank you, Elementary Mori!"

Before Xiong Mengmeng could react to why the other party wanted to thank her, Sophie had already put on her bag and rushed to the playground.

Carl collapsed on the bench as soon as he entered the activity room.

After he was eliminated, he went for another ten laps and did fifty round-trips around the pole.

It's not that he can improve much all at once, or that it will make up for his mistakes on the field. It's just that he doesn't want to give up just yet.

Although all is in vain.

Carl didn't believe that this was his limit. Obviously, they have worked so hard to train......

The selection was over, the people in the club had dispersed early, and there was no one else in the activity room, so Carl didn't pay much attention to his position on the bench.

No, there was another person in the activity room.

The man didn't seem to notice Karl, sitting alone in the corner of the activity room, staring intently at a photograph in his hand. Those usually cold eyes revealed a softness and even a little sadness at this moment.

Karl sat up and smiled at the man, "Sakurahiro, congratulations!" ”

There is no doubt that Sakurahiro ended up on the first team of the school.

Sakura Hiro seemed to have just come back to his senses, hurriedly put the photo in his pocket, said "um" very perfunctorily, and then picked up his bag and left in a hurry.

"Yo, Sakurahiro, you're doing really well today." President Summit happened to come in, but Sakurahiro passed by with his head down as if he hadn't seen him.

Summit was a little surprised by Sakurahiro's attitude, no matter how he said that he would be teammates on the same team in the future, but he ignored it like this. He turned to Carl and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Carl was so startled by Summit that he jumped up from his chair and stood respectfully. "Report to the president, I don't know!"

Summit was amused by Carl's performance. "Carl, you don't have to be so nervous, I won't eat you. You don't need to call me president, just call me Summit, I'm not a god, haha. ”

"Good, good! President Summit! ”

Carl has been following the ass of the team for so long, and this is the first time he has spoken directly to the president, so how can he not be nervous. It's not so much nervousness as excitement and excitement though.

"Does President Summit remember me?"

"Well, I've noticed before that there is an exercise in the middle department that works very hard. You've been very positive today! I didn't make it in the end, but I really worked hard! There are a lot of factors that failed this time, so you should not take it too seriously. ”

Carl knew that Summit was comforting himself. But he has always been an optimist character, how can he let others worry about himself? "No, no, no, I still have a lot to be desired! It's just a little disappointing that I can't participate in the MEC,......" he said, scratching his head.

Aren't most of the people who participated in the selection this time just going for the MEC quota?

Summit continued: "Don't be too frustrated, if you really want to participate, form a team to participate in the MEC audition, and if you're lucky, you can't qualify for the main competition." You support staff who don't usually have anything to do, so you can give it a try. ”

"Huh? Are there any auditions? Hearing this, Karl slammed his grip on Summit's shoulder, his eyes widened and his mouth wide open.

Summit was clearly a little intimidated by the momentum. "Well, as far as I know, you can participate as long as you sign up......"

"Great! I'm going to tell Sophie senpai! ”

Carl jumped three feet high, and his body, which couldn't hide his fatigue just now, was injected with infinite vitality at this moment. He directly left the president, who was still respectful to him just now, and rushed out of the activity room with a smoke.

Why don't they listen to me one by one......

"Hahaha, the first graders are really energetic......" Summit rubbed his aching shoulders and smiled very reluctantly at Carl's back.

It was already dusk, and the twilight was dull.

The blood-red sunset slowly sank behind the flamboyant clouds, and the sunset burned half of the sky as if it had been ignited by a flame.

This is a splendid handover of the ultimate light and the ultimate darkness.

The day is coming to an end.

But the future is not over!

Two figures ran in opposite directions on the horizon, their silhouettes dyed red by the sun's rays. They saw each other and quickened their pace.

Faster, faster.

I really want to tell the other party the news quickly.

"Carl!"

"Senpai!"

At this moment, they both understood what the other was going to say.

"Let's build a team together and participate in the audition!"

They took a deep breath, clenched their fists, and concentrated almost all their strength on their chests, shouting this sentence to each other at the same time with the loudest voices they could.

A mouthful of qi that had been accumulated in his chest for a long time was spit out in an instant, and only comfort was left in his heart.

They laughed at each other together.

————

"Well, that, senior, how many days does the registration end?"

“…… I'll search for notifications. ”

There was a brief silence.

"Ahh

"There are only three days left!?"
