Chapter 18: Official Competition
The next day, on this day, the students of the same level of the college gathered in the hall for the opening ceremony of the friendly match, after nearly half an hour of opening speeches, the competition officially began, including me, the contestants, under the arrangement of the teachers, were sent to their respective battle areas to prepare for the duel.
Today is still a day where first-year students can move freely, there are no classes, and the average student can go to the competition they want to see, and the rest are contestants like me.
After half past nine, my first race was about to start.
The first battle was fought in the A-2 Arena, and I stepped forward from the east side of the Arena to see my opponent waiting silently on the other side of the Arena. After the two of them inserted the card, a message was displayed directly above the dueling table, and on the opposite side was a mecha envoy from the A-7 squad.
Depending on the shape of the opponent and the fact that they approach on foot after the opening, you can confirm that the opponent is in the shape of the ground. For the battle between the ground form and the ground form, it is the easiest, as long as the basic ability of both sides is used to fight each other, this is the most certain for me.
The opponent in the first battle is a dark green mecha that wields a huge battle axe as a weapon in both hands. The Tomahawk is very destructive, and if it is hit, not only will the HP value be reduced considerably, but the mech's will also be severely damaged.
So it was a thing to be aware of, and it wasn't long before it came time to fight with him, and I used my agility and explosiveness to dodge the opponent's not-so-tricky attack, and then knocked it away with my fists.
It wasn't a difficult battle, and I won, but I've only played against one person, and I can't confirm how much strength this fellow has in the same class.
The big screen quickly showed Li Xingze's victory, and the winning side will be popularized to the next round, while the losing side will be eliminated.
After the victory, I silently walked out of the dueling arena, and there was a break for the rest of the day, and I was going to stay in a corner of the audience for a while. After all, such a game is more physically demanding.
In the corner seat, I probably stayed for nearly an hour before I knew it, and the second round was about to start again. In the process, I could also learn from the big screen on the side that the rest of the class participated, including me, and two of them had been eliminated, among which Di Rebo and Lin Qin won the first battle, which is a very normal result.
Today's contestants are among the best in their respective classes.
After the break, my second match was held in the A-1 Arena in the first area, where the venue was plain, and the second round was a boy from the A-5 class, who was also a ground-shaped mech, just like his previous opponents.
After staying in this academy for quite a while, I roughly understand that the ground-shaped mecha envoys in the academy are the majority, and the sky-shaped mecha envoys who can fly in the sky are a rare category.
In the second battle, the opponent was a mecha with a blunt weapon as a weapon, and he used the same powerful weapon as before, and he didn't have the same skill as the previous one, so he couldn't hurt me at all, and the heavy weapon would make it move sluggishly, and I easily killed that guy.
It wasn't a difficult fight with almost no damage, maybe because I was lucky enough to run into two ground shapes, but anyway, I just had to defeat those opponents whoever they were.
Then entered the second break, and the two classmates except me, Lin Qin and Di Rebo, also ended their second battle soon after, in which Lin Qin won, while Di Rebo failed, and he could only be a bystander.
In other words, in the A-13 class, only Lin Qin and I are the only people who can enter the third round.
After a period of rest, the duo claimed their third match. My third opponent is still a ground-shaped mech.
That's what I'm good at, and it's my victory, and for the ground shape, power, speed, and explosiveness are all very important, because it's a close quarters duel, and you don't have to think about any strategy. And my spirit body does possess more power than the average fellow, and I have clearly felt it in the recent battle.
After three games in the morning, it was time for the lunch break, during which no games were played and all students went into break. And I went to the cafeteria to eat as a matter of course.
"Student Li Xingze, there are really two hits, and we won all three games in the morning, and there are only two people left in our class."
"What are you talking about, isn't that a matter of course, because he is a man who came out of the same school as me."
I sat in the corner of the cafeteria, and several classmates came to the table opposite me, and one of the boys with glasses gave a speech, and before I could reply, the red-haired man sitting next to me interjected.
"Where is the school?"
"Dawning No. 1 Middle School."
“… Where is that? Facing his answer, the man with glasses in front of him put his glasses on the tablet, obviously not understanding, where is Shuguang Middle School, this is only known to me and the red-haired man next to me, after all, it is just a nameless school in the remote countryside.
After spending some time and having lunch, it was almost time for the next round, which was going to be in the fifth section, so it was necessary to be there ten minutes before the start of the game.
It is worth mentioning that there are a total of eight areas here, plus a central duel venue, of which in addition to the central venue, the remaining eight regional venues are all roughly similar, the difference is that in the dueling arena, the terrain in the venue is diverse, such as rock field, plain field, lake field, street field and other different types of venues.
"The next round of the duel in Group B is about to begin, and the contestants are requested to quickly go to the E-2 venue to assemble."
At the prompt of the radio sound, I began to walk towards the east entrance of the dueling arena, and at the same time, the opponent of the fourth round also walked up from the west entrance, and soon both of them put their student cards into the dueling machine.
Immediately, after the machine flashed brightly and successfully read the data, the big screen above showed the record of the two, I won all 14 fights, and the other boy from the A-11 class had a record of 10 wins and 3 defeats.
"I heard that you are ground-shaped, and you haven't even been defeated, it's really amazing, let me also learn about it."
"Come on."
During the countdown before the decision to begin, the two provoked each other.
Looking at the confident boy in front of him, he is probably the kind that can control the mecha to fly in the sky.
Immediately, the countdown ended, the machine lit up green, and when the game between the two began, the brown mecha in front of him flew into the sky, and as I expected, he was a sky-shaped mecha.
As far as the eye can see, the opponent's weapon is what looks like an auger.
In the blink of an eye, the opponent approached from above Kaodaka's head, and the distance between the two was about three meters, and the opponent's mecha waved the weapon in his right hand at this time, attacking directly from above.
Looking at the incoming blow, I prepared to attack, but before the weapon could reach my attack range, the steel cone like a drill suddenly extended, burst over, and slammed into the left shoulder of the dark yellow mech.
An unexpected blow.
In the next moment, I understood that it was freely scalable, but as a result, my HP was reduced by 8%.
In front of him is a sky-shaped, and the opponent who has a wider range than himself is more difficult to deal with than the previous three opponents. Because it's a sky-shaped opponent, I can't stay where I am too much. Opportunities need to be found through mobility.
After a while, the two faced off and I was able to win, and the most important thing for me was to take advantage of the moment the opponent attacked, looking for an opportunity to counterattack, and to do so, I could win.
"It's not easy, ground shaped." With that, the boy on the other side left silently.
That's why I'm going to be in the fifth round. After leaving the arena, the mech will be recovered underground for inspection and repair.
Because each person has only one training machine, so the mecha can't be worn out too much during this period, and if you break an arm, then you can only meet the new competition in that state.
Fortunately, my dark yellow mech was not badly damaged.
After this battle, I decided to go outside the corridor to get some air, so I stepped out of the fifth area, walking along the corridor on the third floor, and suddenly a familiar figure appeared in front of me.
It was a girl with light blue hair, and her pair of aqua blue pupils were inadvertently staggering with me at the moment.
"Is that you..."
Because she happened to meet me, she said hello, and she was the first to speak, and her blue eyes were staring at me fearlessly.
"Now it's time to compete, Lin Qin."
"No, my game is over." Lin Qin responded
"Have you been killed, and who is your opponent?" I asked out of curiosity
"Okay, although I don't want to say anything bad about the scenery, but that's Qin Liang, the one who is very famous."
"Well, I know, there's a chance I'll fight him."
"It's going to be tricky, and to be honest, he's not an opponent who can do it in a click or two."
"yes, thanks for the reminder."
"It's nothing, after all, I don't want to just watch him win all the time." Lin Qin played with her sideburns lightly, and then walked past me.
