The second basement floor of the Dark Sanctuary Academy, the viewing room of the Holy List Arena.

"Wow! Terrible! ”

"Oh, that's a pity......"

"I'll go, can this be?"

From time to time, bursts of surprise, regret or emotion erupted in the viewing room, which was the feeling of Catherine and the other three when they watched other group games.

"It seems that we made a wise choice to watch the battle here all afternoon today, and we have learned a lot of things that we would not normally touch in class! Even if you're just watching the game, you'll be able to gain some experience. "The stars are still unfinished.

"Na, Sister Yi, what kind of body do you say we should choose to participate in the group competition?" Shirley was already in a state of readiness and began to discuss tactics with Tsubasa.

"Well, that's a problem. It's really a hassle to not be allowed to use exclusive mechs in the group competition, or if I open the freedom, we will basically win. ”

"I think that's what the academy thinks about too, otherwise it wouldn't have added such a new rule." Xingchen doesn't seem to care much about this, "Senior Nagisa and Senior Lien also said that the main purpose of the group competition is to cultivate cooperation and team awareness among team members, and if you can use an exclusive mecha, you basically can't play this role. ”

"Well, Xingchen has a point, I should seriously think about tomorrow's game......" Catherine turned her head to see the absent-minded orange-haired girl, "Shirley, what are you thinking, so distracted?" ”

"It's nothing, people are thinking about what Senior Nagisa said...... Shirley saw that black lines began to appear in the heads of the other two people, and quickly changed her words, "People are joking, hahaha-that, by the way, Sister Wing, since you can't use the exclusive body, then you still use Bikina, I feel that Sister Wing used it very well during the entrance test." ”

"Well, I'm really good at shooting mechs. As for Shirley, you're more inclined to melee combat, and Xingchen is an all-rounder who is good at both distance and close combat......"

"Sister Yi, you are too awarded, I am the one who may have the least actual combat experience among the three of us." Xingchen shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. We've been watching the game for a long time, and I think it's time for us to start studying our team's style of play and the bodies used. In terms of the body, it is easier for me and Xingchen to choose, so I will mainly use Bikina, and the Duel Gundam is very suitable for Xingchen, as for Shirley......"

"Well, Sister Yi doesn't have to worry about me, I'll just use the green tie, I still know more about the Zagu system, and it's easier to get started." Shirley looked confident, and then muttered for a moment, "Hmm...... Compared to what kind of airframe I chose, what tactics does Sister Yi think is better for us to use? Although I think that the tactics still have to be formulated based on the opponent, otherwise there will be some problems, but it is better to be prepared. ”

"Of course I've considered this, so the tactics I want to say are simple, Shirley is mainly responsible for melee combat, I am responsible for sniping and jamming the enemy from a distance, and Xingchen will be a little harder, you need to decide whether to do melee combat or shoot according to the changes in the real-time battle situation - all in all, flexible braking."

Xingchen bowed slightly in agreement: "It's no problem on my side." So what are we going to do now? Looking for a place to practice? ”

"Ahh Shirley rubbed her stomach with a pitiful expression, "Besides, after watching other people's battles for so long, we also need a little time to sort out our thoughts, don't we?" ”

"Okay, okay—let's talk over there." As decisive as Catherine, she couldn't resist Shirley's coquettishness, so she had to raise her hand and surrender, "By the way, there is one thing that we must not ignore: although it is said that the participants in the group competition are all first-year freshmen, the person in charge of the competition will select opponents according to the comprehensive strength of the team." ”

"What do you mean......" Xingchen thought for a moment.

"Our squad is very strong, there's no doubt about that - but the opponent was determined so quickly, which means that it is very likely that someone will deliberately underperform during the entrance test, so that the opponent will let their guard down and finally make a ......splash in the Holy List Arena," Catherine turned to look at her two teammates, "What do you think?" ”

"Listening to Sister Yi say this, there is also a certain truth. Although we have researched our opponents before the entrance test, it is impossible to leave everything out. It seems that we still have to go through the freshman information tonight. Seeing Catherine's approving look, Xingchen asked the orange-haired girl beside her, "What do you say, Shirley?" ”

"Ah, the cafeteria has arrived! Delicious, I'm coming! The girl who was questioned had already rushed into the cafeteria as fast as she could, her eyes lit up and she was ready to eat.

......The other two people who were messy in the wind were speechless for a long time.

"Forget it, Xingchen, I'll leave the research materials to the two of us." Catherine stroked her forehead, knowing that the girl who was preoccupied with eating and sleeping was an unreliable character, "If there is any problem, just contact through the team communication." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Xingchen agreed weakly.

That night, the Dark Templar College women's dormitory.

"Ah, after taking a shower, I'm really refreshed." Tsubasa walks out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, sighing as he rubs his wet hair with a dry towel. When she looked up, she saw Shirley wrapped the quilt tightly around her, with a look of vigilance like a great enemy, and her eyes were mixed with nervousness, fear, and vigilance.

"Uh, I said......" Catherine was speechless for a moment and sighed, "Okay, Shirley, I was wrong before. I swear, I won't do that without your consent. ”

"Really?" Shirley asked in a whisper.

"Ah, really, Nagisa said that, what else can I say?" At the mention of Nagisa, Catherine became angry, and instantly scolded the nosy guy ten thousand times, "You can't really let him transfer you to live somewhere else, then it will be as he wishes." ”

"Whew......" Shirley relieved herself, loosened the quilt wrapped around her body, and returned to her usual confused, cute, harmless appearance of humans and animals.

Catherine looked at her, still a little unrelenting: "I said Shirley, what is so good about that boring guy that can make you like this?" ”

"Huh? Sister Yi, don't you feel it at all? Shirley suddenly came to her senses, "The senior is very gentle, gentle to others, always smiling, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze!" Moreover, you see that he is so powerful, handsome and chic......"

"Stop, stop, I know!" Catherine interrupted her impatiently with a wave of her hand, "You little nymphomaniac! Okay, let's go shower, get some sleep, and tomorrow is the game. I'm going to look at the freshman stuff as well. ”

"Oh, Sister Yi, don't watch it too late, it's not good for girls to stay up late."

Looking at Shirley's back, Catherine was thoughtful. Shirley is right, a boy like Nagisa is indeed lethal to most girls. It doesn't hurt if this little girl is just a spring heart, but if she really moves, it's really not a good thing.

However, she couldn't be clearer about Nagisa's personality. This person seems to be talking and laughing, but he is actually the most measured person, only from the fact that there have never been scandals around the beads over the years, his skills can be seen. Then, if he doesn't have the intention, he should be able to handle Shirley's affairs well.

The communication tone of the internal communication of the "Dididi" team rang out at the right time, and Catherine took a deep breath, put aside the distractions of Fang Cai, and connected the contact.

"Good evening, stars. How's it going over there? I'm just about to start reading the materials, what did you find? ”

"Well, actually, I did see something interesting - Sister Yi, you look at this person's information."

As soon as she finished speaking, a few lines lit up on Catherine's communicator screen.

"Name: Adair. Bio: First-year freshman at Dark Sanctuary Academy. Often alone. Very proficient in power generation.,And very interested in all kinds of games.,Never wears a school uniform.,Only a blue jacket.。 It is said that he has a good talent in cooking and can make all kinds of pasta. However, there are some tendons, and they occasionally do things recklessly. The sub-evaluations are as follows: Melee B, Shooting A, Airframe Operation B+, Reaction A, Theoretical Knowledge A, Comprehensive Evaluation A-. ”

"This person, I did check his profile before the entrance test. The overall evaluation is indeed not low, but it did not come out of the entrance test. Seems to be a noteworthy figure. ”

Xingchen said, "Indeed, so I paid special attention to it. The person is either playing out of the way or deliberately hiding something. Either way, we'll have to be careful - I'll go ahead and contact me if you find anything there. ”

"yes, I know."
