Chapter 10: Daily Life in the Ball Moving Tournament (End)

On the way back to the backyard, several people met the third shift team returning from the arena.

"I always thought that the opponent in the final would be the third class." In the early season, I hugged the putter and talked to Hiroshi who was passing by.

"Our side has always been in the upper hand," Hiroshi said remorsefully, "if that accident hadn't happened......

Hiroshi held up their horseshoe-shaped putter for the early season. The bottom of the contact with the ground was of course covered in scratches, but the sides were also peeled off in large chunks.

"What's going on?"

"The opponent's goalkeeper suddenly bumped into him, and the accident was over." Hiroshi lovingly stroked the broken part of the putter.

"After the accident, the ball rolled back and it took us more than a minute to get back to square one."

"So you lost to the second class by one minute and thirty-six seconds to one minute and forty-one seconds. Don't you think it's too much? ”

Meiling, the biggest in the class, put her hand on Hong's shoulder and said angrily, "It's obviously the fault of the other side!" ”

"After all, it's an accident, there's no way." Hiroshi's voice revealed anger that could not be hidden.

"Be careful." "No one knows what will happen in the finals. ”

Being so reminded before the game can't deny that there will be preconceived judgments. The early season and the others were distracted by the non-purely competitive part, so when they saw the attackers of the second class who attacked first, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Isn't that a wheel......" Jue couldn't believe his eyes and squeezed out a sentence.

"Didn't we also discuss that the axle was not strong enough for us to give up. It's weird, they didn't use materials other than clay, did they? Momentarily frowned and stared at the opposing pusher.

"No, you have to take another look. It's not a wheel, it's a ball. ”

The putter in the second class has a deep groove under the main body, and a ball is embedded in it. From their vantage point, the ball is only half exposed, and although it looks like a wheel, it is not fixed to the body.

"It's like pedaling a ball cart. In that case, if you get a little impact, won't the ball run out? Jue said coldly.

"If you go deeper, you won't be able to take it out."

"It's not like that. The deeper the bulbous wheels are embedded, the more likely they are to get caught up in the mud and sand, and the result will become unmanageable. If it was their ball, it would stop spinning immediately. Instant also raised his own question.

"They probably thought that if the ball got caught in the mud and sand, it would let the whole putter slide as usual. When the ball was still spinning before, he broke through our defence in one go. "Truth made his own sober analysis.

But the doubts of several people disappeared at the moment of the start of the game.

"Two people control ......" Zaoji couldn't help but shout, and looking at the two aces of the second class, Liang and Ming, it can be found that their spirits are focused on the putter at the same time.

Ryo is responsible for controlling the putter to push the ball forward, while Akira is responsible for preventing the ball from slipping and removing weeds and sand in front of it to prevent foreign objects from being swept into the wheel groove. It was dangerous to concentrate the mana of two people in such a small area, and it was too wasteful for two people to control a pusher at the same time. But this is showing the extraordinary strength of the second class.

Because there is very little friction between the ball wheel and the ground, the mana can be gently transferred from the putter to the ball. The ball in the second class can travel at a speed close to the storm like the fifth class in the first game, and at the same time will not get out of control.

The goalkeepers of the Hara Tianming team tried their best to slow down their opponents, but the opponent's putter shook them off with a light S-shaped maneuver.

Jue's goalkeeper immediately turned around to catch up, but unexpectedly bumped into the goalkeeper who was grinding and flew out of the field.

"Placed aside." Early Ji sighed helplessly and said to Instant.

"yes. That pusher was really good, and the next step was to rely on your strategy in the early season to turn the tables around. ”

Everyone stopped controlling the ball keeper and stood by and watched the game unfold. The second class saw the first class like this, as if they had seen the goddess of victory beckoning to them. The pusher, who was advancing with his head held high, suddenly stopped, clearly in a daze.

"What's going on! Isn't there no end to it, hey! The second class of students turned to the direction of Zao Ji and the others and shouted loudly.

"There is an end." Instantly said seriously. "That's right!! There must be, be observed. Yuan Tianhua, who has always been like playing soy sauce, also seemed to be interested at this time, and opened his mouth to ridicule.

"Yes? Where is it? ”

"There is no obligation to tell the enemy information." Satoru mocked. Only this is Yuan Tianhua who thinks that this kid is still very pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, referee, stop watching, that's weird!" Learn to say angrily.

"That's not going to work. No matter what willful words are said on the other side, you can't stop watching. Truth reminded the fourth class student who was in charge of timekeeping.

"No kidding! I don't even have the point, how can I continue to play! ”

"That's why there's an end." In the face of angry learning, he remained calm for a while.

"Let's go find it. Use your time, though. Jue said with a smile. Even the early season of the other party feels excessive, and the other party must feel even more hateful in his eyes.

"There is no end at all, how can we waste time!"

"So yes. If we really don't, even if we foul and lose, okay? Instantaneously said quietly. Although Xue no longer argued, suspicion clearly appeared in his eyes. In fact, it took nearly two minutes to go back and forth.

“…… It's hidden. ”

The members of the second class, who finally came back to their senses, stared at the venue and desperately looked for the end, but still did not find it.

"It's a foul!" Learn to grit his teeth again.

"And there's no rule that doesn't hide the end."

"Yes! Direct interference with the field is a serious foul! ”

"We haven't touched anything about the venue. Do you want a hint? It seemed that he had said something superfluous, and he glared at him in the early season, and hurriedly covered him: "I'll tell you the answer at the end." It's your time now. If you don't look for it, you'll run out of time. ”

Xue hurried back to find the finish line. It took another minute for them to finally find the finish line. It was not surprising that they could not find it, because at the end of the hole was covered with a disc perfectly camouflaged by sand. Moreover, the disc flutters up and down like a manta ray on the bottom of the sea, causing the surrounding sand to cover its edge, so that the members of the second shift cannot see the boundary of the disc at all. (Although this is a good trick of Jueliang, on the contrary, it almost violates the rule that you can't interfere with the venue)

The second squad immediately tried to push the disc away with the attacker, and after touching the nose of dust, they finally thought of the right way to push the marble ball to the hole. The hastily hardened clay disc could not bear the weight of ten kilograms, and it only lasted two seconds before it broke in half, and the ball fell into it.

"Ahh

"But it's done what it wants. It took more than three points for the opponent to win. "Jue is talking big again as usual. But at this time, everyone was overly optimistic, after all, no matter how good the defenders of the second class were, it would be too difficult to survive everyone's strong attack for three minutes.

When more than ten goalkeepers in the second shift began to attack in all directions, Yuan Tianhua's side felt that something was wrong. They control at least two goalkeepers by themselves, and even if they break one or two, they don't care at all, and keep crashing into the attackers on this side. There are too many enemies to completely block their attacks. A couple of goalkeepers who slipped through the net rushed straight to the side of the ball.

Even if he has a headache with the opponent's attack, he still calmly pushes the ball. There are still three minutes to spare, so there is no need to rush.

By halftime, 50 seconds had passed, but the finish line could be seen from here. Although there are many enemy keepers, each one is light enough to stop the ball from moving forward. Victory is at hand.

This is the time. As if hanging on to something, the ball came to a halt abruptly. Momentarily defenseless, startled. When he tried to push the ball again, the accident happened.

The goalkeeper, flying diagonally forward at high speed, swept the ball and slammed straight into the putter.

With a screeching sound like striking metal, the pusher burst open, shards of pottery splattering in all directions.

Zaoji and the others gasped and stood there blankly. The goalkeeper flew off the field, but the putter was left with his right arm.

There was no pause in the game, and the members of the first and second classes remained motionless except for one person.

A goalkeeper approached from behind the side and slowly pushed the ball out of the field.

Who did it. Several people looked blankly at the people in the second class, and suddenly the smiling faces of the early season came into view. Early Season opened his eyes without thinking, feeling that he saw something that he shouldn't be seeing.

"Hey! What did you do! Jue roared.

"This ...... This ...... "It happened so suddenly that I couldn't even speak in the early season." And Yuan Tianhua knew that someone had committed a foul and used magic to block it.

"I'm sorry, it was an accident." Learn to say casually.

"Accidents? Is this an excuse? Truth cried out.

"Alright, stop the watch." The Sun King walked over just in time. The timing was too right, and he must have been watching the game somewhere.

"Although it is very regrettable, due to an accident, the final result was set as a draw."

"How can this be! Aren't they fouled! "It's rare to start protesting in a tough tone even in an instant.

"Nope. This time it was a fortuitous accident. The first and second classes are both considered champions, okay? The teacher said so, and no student complained.

No one expected that the ball moving competition, which all classes were looking forward to, would end in such an ending.

"Unbelievable. They definitely bumped into it on purpose! "Truth is furious.

"It's exactly the same as the first three classes of the game."

"yes. It could never have been an accident. Mamoru agreed.

"They calculated the timing." Jue suddenly said.

"Flying over the ball and going straight to the putter is also their calculation. You think so too, don't you? ”

Instant kept holding his arms and didn't say a word.

"What? Do you believe that it was an accident? ”

Instant shook his head.

"It's not...... What makes me concerned is something more preceding. ”

"Front?"

"When our putter suddenly stopped, it was like the ball had hit something."

"Huh?"

"Well, right?"

"Hmm. The feeling of the putter became very strange, and there were no obvious obstacles on the ground. ”

There was silence in the room. Instant has a keener sense than anyone else.,Of course, there's no open-mouthed character.。

If that's the case, then it's assumed that someone is using mana to stop the pusher from advancing. It is a foul to interfere directly with the ball with mana, and if the mana affects others, it is a clear violation of more serious ethical rules. In the unlikely event that a person's mana collides with each other, a rainbow-like interference pattern and space distortion will occur. This is very dangerous.

In other words, there are people in the second class who dare to ignore common sense and trample on the rules.

It was as if the ground was split in half beneath my feet, and just thinking about it made me feel uneasy. We went home that day without saying a word. Perhaps, that's what everyone thinks. But at this time, I have not yet discerned the truth of the horror of the other side of the inner barrier.

When I was in adolescence, just the troubles that were as delicate as a hair were like the end of the world, and I weighed heavily on the hearts of several people. But a young and energetic mind doesn't let the gloom linger for long. After a while, everyone couldn't even remember what they were worried about.

Ironically, however, the psychic defense apparatus called Oblivion has eliminated the truly profound problems as trivial annoyances.

After the ball moving competition, the next thing that will make the children excited is the biggest activity of the whole school year - the summer camp. Although the name may sound interesting, it is actually an exciting adventure in which everyone has to kayak up the Tone River and camp in tents by the river for seven days.

Except for the daily travel that is handed over to the teacher due to the large number of classes, the rest of the planning is completed by the students. After going to the Pure Mosque through the ceremony, this is the time when everyone will go out of the Eight Labels again. Just thinking about it like this makes a few people as nervous and excited as they are on an alien planet.

The air is intertwined with anticipation and unease, a sense of anxiety envelops the school, and the morning season and others are restless. Gossip from unknown sources, baseless speculation, and plans that have been repeatedly revised in their minds have become the hottest topics for several people every time they meet. Although it is not always possible to achieve concrete results, the exchange of information and mutual discussion can alleviate the anxiety of the people.

Therefore, the extremely bad result of the ball moving competition did not linger in the minds of several people for long. Even Reiko Amano, who has been absent for many years, was expelled, and Katayama suddenly disappeared at some point, but he didn't care at all.

In fact, this is the evidence that the thinking of the children of this world itself is skillfully induced and managed.

And Yuan Tianhua also began to get excited, because ......, it will be an extremely interesting battle again, after all, he has been bored in this world for so long that he is about to forget his identity, time, it is really the most powerful medicine of forgetting.
