Chapter 135: Top Eight Grouping
On the field, Su San, who was being interviewed by Hathaway, smiled indifferently after the other party asked a sharp question about his teammates: "Hathaway, I think you made a mistake. I'm in the rookie arena because I need my teammates, not my teammates. ”
"We all know that whether it is the 'Fighting Department' or the 'Strength Department', they are all powerful departments of our 'Imperial Royal Academy', and with or without me, Su San, it has no impact on the prestige of these two departments."
Su San looked at Hathaway, who was a little embarrassed, and continued: "I don't know why you ask such a question, but I am still willing to tell you my answer. My teammates on both sides of me are my motivation rather than resistance, they may have a difference in strength, but they all help me the same. They are my best teammates and closest friends. That's all I have to say, thank you! ”
After Su San's words were finished, the audience was silent. After a long while, the whole room erupted in thunderous applause. His words were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially Julie and Lucy of the "Mental Power Department" for a few days, and they applauded loudly after listening to them.
Yes, in a team, the strength of the members is high, and this is normal. However, we are a collective, and we cannot simply judge the size of each person's contribution by the level of their strength.
Just like Su San's teammate Johnson in the "Fighting Department", although he only has four-star strength, he played an important role in the game with the "Mental Power Department". Can you say he's dragging his feet? Not only can't, I'm afraid it's better to give someone a great credit.
Su San's words made Hathaway blush for a while. However, this beautiful host is not bad in nature, and she doesn't hold a grudge against him. It's just that her impression of Su San has inevitably deepened a lot, which is not good news.
After this game, there is a regular one-hour break. After Su San and his teammates got off the field, they entered the lounge and stayed inside and waited quietly for the start of the last round of 16.
"Kumiko, good fight! I didn't expect Alex to be suppressed by you like this, I may not be able to do it, it's amazing! Katerina smiled and said to Kumiko beside her.
"Senior sister is too complimentary, I dare not take it! Actually, it was mainly because of Su San's deterrent power that Alex didn't dare to play his full strength, so I picked up a bargain. Kumiko's eyes turned on Su San, and she said with a light smile.
Su San smiled and said, "Kumiko, you're welcome, your strength is much better than the other party, and it is reasonable to win." However, this game is just an appetizer, and the difficulties are yet to come. We're not just satisfied with reaching the quarterfinals, right? ”
Katerina nodded and said, "Of course, our 'power system' has a peak lineup this year, and outside of the twin stars, the strength of the telekinetic system surpasses us." Now that you've killed the 'telekinesis system', then we're definitely going to make it to the top four. ”
"Yes, Senior Sister is right. It mainly depends on the grouping situation for a while. Margaret nodded and said, "As long as we avoid the 'Battleship Command Department' and the 'Mecha Specialization Department' when the quarterfinals are drawn, it is almost certain that we will enter the semi-finals." Although the No. 4 seed ability department is strong, but with Su San's classmates, they will definitely not be able to win against us. Not to mention the rest of the teams. ”
"No, you forgot one." Kumiko glanced at Su San, pursed her lips and smiled: "Margaret, you must have forgotten the 'fighting system', if we meet them, Su San is forced by the situation and cannot play, then we may not be sure of victory." ”
"That's right, the Sattler classmate of the 'Martial Arts Department', her strength has improved very quickly, coupled with her tenacious and unyielding will, if she really runs into them, the situation is really hard to say."
"That's what Scarlett and I are most worried about right now! Once the two of us meet, it is destined that only one team can advance, which is something that no one wants to see. Katerina helplessly raised the communication in her hand and looked at Su Sandao.
Su San didn't have anything to worry about, he rubbed his temples and said, "Senior sister, Kumiko, it's useless for us to think so much now." Rather than worrying about it here, it's better not to think about it. Anyway, there's more than a half chance that we won't be able to touch each other. ”
"If our two faculties really meet, Su San, which one do you hope to win?" Katerina's heart moved, and she blurted out.
Su Sanleng paused, as if he didn't expect Katerina to ask such a question. He thought for a moment and said, "Senior sister, the 'Martial Arts Department' and the 'Power Department' are both my maternal line, for me, whoever is promoted in the two departments will be very happy, just do your best!" However, compared to this result, I would rather meet the Gemini. ”
Katerina didn't seem to expect Su San to give such an answer, she smiled appreciatively and said, "Such an idea, so that you don't feel abrupt." However, if you really want to encounter these two departments, Su San, you have to be prepared. No one on the other side may be able to defeat you one-on-one, but each of them has the strength to fight you, which is why the two faculties are jealous. ”
Su San smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that he was clear. Actually, there is no need for Katerina to remind him, how could Su San not know about this problem? If he wants to defeat the "Twin Stars", Su San knows that he still has a lot to do......
The final game of the round of 16 came as scheduled. The first group in Group C, the "Ancient Martial Arts Research Department", under the leadership of their captain Gu Qing, won the opponent with almost no effort and won the last ticket to the quarterfinals. For the first time in history, the "Department of Ancient Martial Arts Studies" entered the top eight of various competitions in the university.
"We did it, we really did it!" On the field, Gu Qing, Qin Shuang, and Qin Xue hugged each other tightly, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
Seeing this scene, even Su San, who was watching from the lounge, was a little moved. The key to the success of a team is unity. And this is the most important thing that Gu Qing brought to the team of the "Ancient Martial Arts Research Department". As the captain, this girl is doing a great job, really good!
Unlike the draw for the round of 16, the draw for the quarterfinals is much simpler. The host, Hathaway, walked to the stage with the transparent box and put the balls representing the eight teams into it one after another.
Next, in the midst of applause, Hathaway invited Christine, the principal of the "Imperial Royal Academy", and the special guest of the conference, General Chamberlain.
"Hello Principal and General Chamberlain, now I would like to ask you to group the teams of the top eight." Hathaway smiled and said, "Please take turns to pick a ball from the box and place it on each of the four discs to determine the group of the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and the finals." ”
Christine smiled and made a "please" gesture to Chamberlain, signaling him to choose first. Chamberlain didn't talk nonsense, he reached directly into the box, picked the first ball, and handed it into Hathaway's hands.
"The first team to be selected is the Mecha Maintenance Department, and they will occupy the position of A1!" Hathaway unfolded the ball and revealed its contents.
After Chamberlain picked the first one, on the other side, Christine picked the second ball.
"The second team to be chosen is the Ability Department! They will occupy the position of B1! ”
With the balls being selected one by one, the matchup table for the quarterfinals is finally freshly released.
A1 "Mecha Maintenance Department" will fight against A2 "Fighting Department"; B1 "Ability Department" General Captain B2 "Battleship Command System"; C1 "Power Department" will fight C2 "Ancient Martial Arts Research Department"; D1 "Mecha Specialization" will play against "Life Vitality Department".
After the results of the draw came out, the audience was amazed. The reason is simple, because the winner of Group A will play the winner of Group C in the semi-finals, and the winner of Group B will play the winner of Group D in the semi-finals. In other words, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the tournament, the "Mecha Specialization" and the "Battleship Command Department", will have to meet in advance in the semifinals, which is something that everyone did not expect beforehand.
In addition, one of the highlights of the quarterfinals is that once both the "fighting system" and the "power system" can defeat their respective opponents, the two teams that also have Su San will also meet in the semifinals. When the time comes, is Su San on or not? In other words, is it to help the "fighting system" or the "power system"?
"Teacher, isn't it too obvious for our group to create contradictions? You think, in the selection of every event, the twin stars only met in the final. If you suddenly change this tradition this year, will it have any bad effects? After completing the draw ceremony, on the way out, Chamberlain couldn't help but ask.
With a smile on her face, Christine whispered, "Don't worry, Chamberlain, these children won't be affected." As you know, our 'Imperial Royal Academy' is now worse than a year. If this is a peaceful era, forget it, it's a big deal to change it slowly. But now, the Sekers could launch a full-scale offensive at any moment, and we ran out of time. At this point, it's no use sticking to the rules, you have to make a change......"
Looking at the teacher's sigh, Chamberlain nodded vigorously. The teacher is under pressure to go up, and this time the newcomer Dabi is the first step of his reform. I hope he can do well.
The members of the "Martial Arts Department" sat in the stands, and when they saw the results of the quarterfinals, they were first delighted, and then shocked.
Happily, their opponent in the quarterfinals is only the No. 7 seed "Mecha Maintenance Department", and their strength can only be regarded as the middle and lower positions in the quarterfinals, and it is not without a chance to win. What is surprising is that the opponent of Su San's other maternal "power department" is not strong, and even the "ancient martial arts research department", which is the weakest on paper in the top eight.
In this way, the two teams that Su San is in have a very high hope of meeting in the semifinals. Everyone prayed for a long time, but in the end, the two teams still had to meet, which made everyone's hearts a little depressed.
Looking at his teammates who were speechless beside him, Zetler's eyes shot to the rest room of the "power system" in the distance, and said secretly in his heart: "Su San, what should I do if I meet your other parent team......
