On the ninth arena in the center of the venue, all the lights around the area were gathered. An important group stage is about to take place here, and it will even have a deep impact on the future round of 16 and quarterfinals. Conform to the people. On the big screen, sixteen games were no longer played at the same time, but only the most important one - "Martial Arts" VS "Mental Power".

The major teams with byes in this round are all in the lounge, staring intently at the holographic projection screen in front of them. The two sides of the war are both opponents they may meet in the round of 16 in the next two days, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

In the lounge of the "Battleship Command Department", Princess Avril sat in her seat, and beside her was Rachel, the leader of the rookie competition.

Looking at Avril's concentrated appearance, Rachel smiled and said, "Princess, it seems that you are very concerned about the 'martial arts department'." Do you think they're even stronger than their opponent this time, the 'Telekinesis Department'? ”

Avril smiled noncommittally and explained: "Senior Sister Rachel, although the top 16 matches are decided by lot, I always have a hunch that the opponent we draw is one of this Group C. So, it's understandable to pay more attention to them. ”

Rachel seemed to remember something, nodded and said, "That's right, the eight groups are the first, and they will draw lots to determine which group their opponent is second." Therefore, in the top 16, we have little chance of encountering the 'telekinesis system'. Because, they are still in the strongest position to compete for the top spot in the group. ”

"Hmph, I'd like to touch this martial arts system in the top 16." Thiago glanced at the bewitching man in front of him on the left, and said angrily: "If you really meet the other party, I will prove it to some people, and the second level of the stars is also divided into many levels." ”

The bewitching man Sherlock glanced back at Thiago and said lightly: "If Abbas said this, I would still believe it a little." It's up to you? Forget it. ”

"You~~~" Thiago was once again angered by this guy, and he was just about to make a move when a slender jade hand pressed on his shoulder.

"Rachel-senpai! Sherlock, what ...... he is" Thiago saw the comer and immediately lowered his anger.

After pacifying Thiago, Rachel didn't say anything and walked towards Sherlock.

"Ouch~~~~ It hurts, it hurts me! Sister, why do you always come to this trick, it won't work with a light. Sherlock's ears were distorted by Rachel as she walked by, and he cried out in pain.

"Hmph, that's light. You and Thiago are teammates on the same team, you should encourage each other and fight together, how can you tear each other down? Rachel said.

"I didn't dismantle his stage, it's this guy who takes himself too seriously." Sherlock rubbed his ears and said: "That Su San's strength is super strong, even the third level of the stars I don't dare to guarantee that he will defeat him, Thiago wants to compete with others, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating?" I'm just kindly reminding him. ”

"You have been promoted to the third level of the stars, but in half a year, you really don't have much confidence if you want to defeat the powerhouses in the second level of the stars. However, isn't it a bit arbitrary to assume that your opponent is better than Thiago based on your personal feelings? Rachel said earnestly.

Seeing that his younger brother didn't seem to be convinced, Rachel groaned and said, "The last match between the 'Fighting Department' and the 'Star Adventure Department' was not over. In this scene, we can take a good look at their real strength. ”

At 2:10 a.m., the individual competition of "Fighting Department" and "Mental Power Department" started on time. Surprisingly, the "Fighting Department" did not send their two strongest men, Susan and Zetler, but sent the little-known Carter. The opponent "Mental Power Department" sent the top three powerhouses in the team, Coutinho, a first-level warrior of the stars.

With Carter's strength of less than the fifth level of moonlight, against the opponent of the upper star level, the result of the game was already doomed from the beginning. Just a minute later, Carter was out of the ring dejected.

"Well, although the 'martial arts department' has played very well this year, and there are also two talents with great potential, Su San and Zetler, but their weakness is also obvious, that is, the thickness of the lineup is not enough. In addition to Su San and Zetler in their team, they can no longer find a player who can withstand the pressure. ”

In the lounge of the "Mecha Specialized Department", their director, Dillon Brown, was talking to his team members about his understanding of the game. Standing next to him was the leader of the third year of the "Mecha Specialized Department" and the first master of Solscoll.

"What the director said is right, although Su San is strong, I personally don't expect them to enter the top eight." Solscoll said lightly.

"If we draw the 'fighting department' in the round of 16, Klein, Azarenka, and Valrhona, are the three of you sure to win this Su San?" Dillon Brown asked, turning to his cadet.

Klein, the son of Admiral Mubarak of the Imperial Army; Azarenka, the infant daughter of Lieutenant General Campos of the Imperial Army; Valrhona, the only daughter of Huntelaar, the head of the Royal Order of the Empire. These three people are also the three strongest among the freshmen of the "Mecha Specialized Department", and they all have the strength of the second level of the stars.

Klein replied first: "I am not Su San's opponent, I can be sure of that. But the gap between us should not be large. After all, his realm is not much higher than mine. ”

Azarenka and Valrhona, you look at me, I look at you, I feel that even Klein is not sure, the two of them are just about the same strength as him, and it seems that there is really no way to take Su San one-on-one.

Seeing Dillon Brown frowning, Solscoll hurriedly excused his juniors and sisters: "Director, although it is difficult for the three of them to win Su San in a one-on-one individual competition, it is impossible to lose in the ring match and team match. So, even if we encounter the 'martial arts system', we will win. Compared to this, it is the strength of our biggest opponent, the 'Battleship Command System', and I am a little unsure. ”

"Solskoll, there's some truth to what you're saying. Although the Battleship Command Department has one less star-level player than us this year, each of their six star-level players is difficult to deal with. Neither Princess Avril nor Abbas are our team members. ”

Dillon Brown looked at his students and said word by word: "However, I still have to say one thing. The reason why our 'Mecha Major' can become one of the twin stars of the 'Imperial Royal Academy' is not because of our personal strength, but because of our tenacious will and unique team spirit! ”

Dillon Brown pointed to Ole Guncol next to him and said: "Just like Ole Guncorp last year, in the finals of the whole school competition, although we lost the individual competition and the ring competition, we won the team competition neatly. In the end, in the play-offs, Ole Sol defeated Rachel who had been snatched away to give us the title. This time, I am as hopeful as you are. ”

Dillon Brown's words cheered up the members of the "Mecha Specialized Department". Yes, his own senior, Solskol, is a prime example. In last year's school-wide competition, he lost first and then won, defeating Rachel, who surpassed him in strength, and shocked the whole school.

What seniors can do, as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to do it. The same thought arose in the minds of all the freshmen, including Klein.

At 2:30, the "Fighting Department" VS "Mental Power Department" ring match officially opened. This time, the two faculties did not disappoint everyone, and both sides sent their strongest players in the first game.

"Xingchen second-level warrior Jorgensen VS Xingchen second-level warrior Su San, this game, I'm afraid it's put in the finals, and the excitement is enough."

"That's for sure, this time, among the newcomers in our school, the strongest is the second level of Xingchen, and the number of them is only about a dozen. With the addition of some players who hide their true strength, this number will never exceed twenty. Judging from the performance of these two people before, they must be in the front among these twenty people. ”

Outside the arena, before the game even began, the audience was already talking, each expressing their opinions on the two players.

On the field, Su San looked at the opponent opposite and smiled slightly. He has reason to be happy, because the order in which the opponent appears is the most favorable to the "martial arts system".

"Double protection obstacle avoidance opens!" The sound of the system suddenly sounded, causing a commotion in the venue.

"Double protection obstacle avoidance" is a special protection device that is opened to prevent unexpected situations during the competition. This is usually used in higher-level battles, or in special battles such as mech battles.

Unexpectedly, such a game between newcomers used "double protection and obstacle avoidance".

"Oh, the security department is pretty well prepared." On the rostrum, General Chamberlain said thoughtfully.

"Haha, since Su San, this little guy entered the school, the security department has suffered countless times on him, and it is natural to be cautious." Principal Christine laughed.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? General Chamberlain suddenly came to his senses, "Then I want to take a good look at how powerful this Su San kid is." It can make the teacher and you look at it differently. ”

Chamberlain glanced at the two vice principals Philip and Kenneditek beside him, and said with a smile: "Vice Principal Philip, the 'martial arts department' has shined this year, gaining extraordinary attention, and has also gained two super-first-class newcomers, Su San and Setler. It seems that the rise of the 'martial arts system' is not far off, and I want to congratulate you in advance. ”

Philip smiled humbly, but the smile on his face betrayed his inner thoughts. Yes, Philip has never been so confident in his "martial arts system" as he is now.

"Su San, it's all up to you." Philip said secretly in his heart.
