Chapter 132: Which Department Is It?
On the second day of the knockout round, the morning game was uneventful, and the two seeded teams, the Ability Department and the Life Vitality Department, each defeated their opponents and advanced to the round of 16.
So far, the six places in the quarterfinals have all been mastered, and they are: the top seed mecha specialization; Second Seed Battleship Command Line; Seed No. 4 ability; No. 6 Seed Life Vitality Line; The seventh seed, the mecha maintenance department, and the unseeded fighting team.
Two matches in the afternoon will determine the final two qualifiers. After all the matches are over, there will be a group draw ceremony for the quarterfinals. This time, and the last draw, divides the eight teams into the upper and lower halves. After the semi-finals and finals, there will be no more draws.
There was still half an hour before the start of the game, and Su San and the players of the "power department" had already come to their lounge in advance to prepare. In the break room, Sophia and Claire "Big Bear" sat on one side and talked about something, while team leader Katerina was talking to the team on the other side.
"According to the latest information obtained by Director Sophia, our opponent, the 'Department of Genetic Engineering', does have more than one ability carrier." Katerina said with a solemn face, "Although the acquisition of their team members' abilities may not be spontaneous. However, an ability is an ability. In the same realm, the advantage of the ability carrier over ordinary cultivators is overwhelming. This battle of yours is very difficult to fight. ”
Melinda, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, said nonchalantly: "Senior Sister Katerina, we have considered what you said in advance. Don't worry, didn't Su San train alone at the training ground with Kumiko's sister yesterday. The two of them had absolutely no problem dealing with an ability carrier on their own. ”
Hearing Melinda's inadvertent words, Su Sanlao's face turned red. He and Kumiko did train for a night yesterday, but some of the ambiguities that happened between the two later seemed to have nothing to do with the ability training, and the location was a little different.
The most important thing is that although one of the two slept in the bedroom and the other on the sofa yesterday. But whether they fell asleep or not, only they themselves know. Su San is now only worried that Kumiko will not be able to play in the game because she has not rested well.
Melinda's words made several team members smile at each other. Kumiko was very steady, and she said without changing her face: "My training with Su San yesterday was very fruitful, and in the face of the ability carrier, my fear has been alleviated a lot. As long as the other party is not too strong, I am sure to defeat the other party. ”
"That's right, I'll just say that Sister Kumiko's sister must be okay." Melinda said with some amusement.
Looking at Melinda's flying appearance, Katerina smiled dumbly: "Well, since everyone thinks so, then I won't say anything." In a little while, the competition will begin, so let's get ready. ”
After Katerina finished speaking, Kumiko was pulled aside by Melinda, Margaret, Mia and others, and began to talk about yesterday's special training. Several team members were very curious, and they didn't know what kind of training Su San had done for Kumiko, so that she was so sure.
Seeing such a situation, Su San hurriedly moved his body out, as if avoiding the eyes of these gossip-loving team members.
"Hey, look at your mind, did you overtrain yesterday?" Katerina didn't know when, so she walked to Su San's side and asked.
Su San panicked and almost didn't jump up. Fortunately, his "Reversal of the Five Elements" has a unique effect in stabilizing the mind. Su San secretly ran a few exercises, and finally calmed down the uneasiness in his heart.
"Katerina-senpai said with a smile, Kumiko-san's comprehension ability is very strong, and I didn't spend too much effort to teach her." Su San smiled reluctantly and explained.
Looking at Su San's appearance, and then looking at the flush on Kumiko's face on the side, Katerina's heart moved, and she asked in Su San's ear in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, are you guys secretly in love with Kumiko?" ”
Su San was taken aback, and it took a long time to react, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, absolutely not." Senior sister, just let me go, don't gossip, okay? ”
Looking at Su San's begging for help, Katerina knew that she might have really guessed. She pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered to Su San: "Okay, I won't expose you." At your age, it's long overdue for the beginning of love. You and Kumiko trained all night yesterday, and it's normal for a lonely man and a widow to be alone for so long, so don't have any mental burden. ”
Su San didn't know how to pick up Katerina's stubble, he had no choice, he could only spread his hands helplessly, saying that he was innocent.
Katerina smiled slightly, let Su San go, and stopped discussing this matter. In fact, Katerina's heart is not as calm as she appears on the surface. She is very concerned about the possible ambiguity between Su San and Kumiko. Su San is a very good boy, and Katerina also has a good impression of him.
Katerina was even thinking about if she could have seized the opportunity and took the initiative to take the offensive against Su San. Will this delicate boy become his boyfriend? It's a pity that since I couldn't make up my mind at the beginning, I can only accept such a bitter ending now. Thinking of this, Katerina's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the beautiful host Hathaway appeared on the stage in a long aqua blue dress. After some polite remarks, she announced that the penultimate round of 16 officially began, and invited the players from both sides to appear.
On the side of the "Department of Genetic Engineering", the seven people on the field are their captain Alex, team members Adelaide, Elaine, Dennis, Christopher, Donald, and Blanco, all male players.
And when the members of the "Power Department" appeared on the stage, it caused an uproar in the audience.
"Su San? How could there be Su San? Isn't he from the 'fighting department', why did he run into the 'power department' arena again? An uninformed viewer asked.
"Hehe, you don't know about this. Su San joined the 'Fighting Department' and the 'Strength Department' at the same time, which we people in the 'Mecha Specialized Department' have known for a long time. ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? So why didn't he appear in the group stage of the previous 'power system'? ”
"Is that still hard to understand?" The power system is the eighth seed, and he has a star level powerhouse like Kumiko, so it is not a problem to qualify for the group, and there is no need to trouble Su San to play. Moreover, the group stage is hidden in the Su San, and the benefits of the next knockout round of the 'power system' are obvious. Don't you see, the faces of the people in the 'genetic engineering department' over there have collapsed. An audience member stretched out his finger and patiently explained.
Everyone followed the gesture of this audience, and sure enough, they saw the members of the "Department of Genetic Engineering" with earthy faces.
"Brooke Rose, Heidi, Melinda, Mia, Margaret, Kumiko, and Suzo! That's it for the 'Power Line'! If there are no problems with the players of both sides, they can enter their respective preparation rooms to prepare for the game. Hathaway was one of the people in the know, and she didn't hesitate to say Su San's name.
"I'm resistant. Discuss! Just as Hathaway was about to step down, a thunderous shout suddenly came from beside her.
Hathaway was taken aback, and quickly turned to look, only to see the muscles on Alex's face, the captain of the "Department of Genetic Engineering", twitching for a while, and he was shouting with his right hand raised.
"Alex, what do you need to fight? Talk, please! Hathaway frowned, suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said calmly.
Alex stepped forward, pointed at Su San's nose and said, "I resist. It's him who is talking, classmate Su San! He is obviously a member of the 'Fighting Department', how could he run to the team of the 'Power Department'? This is a flagrant violation, and I propose that he be expelled immediately. ”
Su San saw that Alex was close at hand, almost poked his fingers, shrugged his shoulders, and looked at Hathaway for help, hoping that she could answer.
Seeing Su San deflated, Hathaway laughed secretly in her heart, she wanted to tease Su San again, and knew that this was not the time. In the end, Hathaway decided to let Su Sanyi go and help him solve the problem in front of him.
"Alex-san, what you proposed to resist. I can tell you directly that it is invalid. Hathaway explained: "When Su San entered the school, he joined the 'martial arts department' and the 'strength department' at the same time, which was decided at the joint meeting of the principals and specially approved by Principal Christine. Therefore, there is no problem with the procedure for him to compete for the 'power department' in the rookie competition. ”
"Join the 'Martial Arts Department' and the 'Power Department' at the same time? Principal Christine Special Approval? Hathaway's explanation immediately drew exclamations from the audience. Everyone didn't expect that Su San's admission to the school would be such a legendary experience.
"MD, I knew that this guy had such an extraordinary background, how could we, the 'telekinesis system', be in the yin. What about capsizing in the ditch and losing to the 'fighting system'? In a dark corner of the audience, Jorgensen said angrily.
The members of the "Star Field Adventure Department" who were watching the game from the audience, Friedrich, Florenzi, Perrotta, Little Bean Sprouts and others, looked at Su San on the field, and opened their mouths wide one by one and couldn't speak.
"This ...... Su San, he actually joined two faculties at the same time, it was really unexpected! Little Bean Sprouts said tremblingly.
"yes, no one expected that!" Florenzi, who had advanced to the star level, looked at Friedrich beside him and asked, "Friedrich, you said that if the 'fighting system' and the 'power department' meet in the knockout round later, who will we cheer for?" ”
"Nonsense, of course it's where Su San is, we'll help which side to cheer on." Friedrich said angrily.
Florenzi patted the little bean sprouts on the shoulder, smiled and comforted: "Little bean sprouts, you don't have to worry about this problem." If the 'Power Department' and the 'Fighting Department' met in the knockout round, the bosses of the two faculties would never let Su San play. It is only necessary to let the other players except Su San have a showdown. ”
Florentzi's judgment is still very logical, and everyone agrees.
While the audience was still talking, on the field, both sides had already entered their respective preparation rooms to prepare for the next game.
