The next day, the second round of knockout rounds started as scheduled.

The knockout rounds were 26-13, and the thirteen games had to be played in one day, and Roy's game was the last.

In the afternoon, the Roy team arrived at the stadium within the stipulated time according to the notice, perhaps because all the games of the day had ended, and the spectators in the stands of this game were exceptionally large.

Of course, there is also a reason why Arya is there.

Arya is a freshman in the class...... No, she is even the only current legal envoy in the academy, and it is precisely because of her that this team will become the favorite team to win the freshman competition.

Not to mention that she is still such a beautiful girl, most people's interest in Arya is even greater than Qin Xiang and Zorn, two "star players" with deep backgrounds.

By the way, even Roy has become the focus of attention.

At this time, the two teams entered the field and were entering the warm-up stage, and the stands were crowded, and most people were focused on Roy and Arya.

"Ah, isn't that the lawyer Arya the captain? What is the origin of that man named Roy? ”

"I found out, that Roy is not only the president of the Moon Shadow class, but also Arya's fiancé!"

"Really? As a lawyer, Arya has a bright future, and she actually made a marriage contract with a man so early? ”

"Of course it's true, my friend is from the Moon Shadow class, these are all things he told me personally, there will be no fake!"

"Even if it's the squad leader...... The identities of these two people are not very equal, I thought that she was as noble as a legal envoy, and her other half should at least be a legal envoy or a child of a temple family. ”

"Heh, you're making hasty conclusions, I watched their last game, that Roy is really skilled, I don't believe you'll know later.

“……”

The noisy chatter in the stands did not affect the players on the field, and Roy and the others put on their talismans and gathered together to discuss tactics and prepare for the next game.

Roy looked at the four-man team opposite and said, "This time the opponent is not stronger than the last game, we can just act according to the original tactics." ”

Their opponent in this round is a squad of Heavy Knights: 3rd Order Holy Knight, 2nd Order Guardian Knight, 2nd Order Mithril Knight, and 2nd Order Priest.

Looking at the data on paper alone, the strength of the opponent this time is not as good as the opponent in the previous game, after all, in the previous game, Sharon and Fiyako were both third-order, and their team was more aggressive.

And the members of this knight squad are very extreme, with three meat shields and one milk, and what stands out is a steady.

From the first round of eliminations, the people in the Department of Information would compile the events and results of each game in the "Freshman Big Bit Issue" of the Academy Newspaper, and Royce went out of his way to subscribe to a copy, so he knew their tactical play.

Due to the formation of the ranks in the team, their tactics are actually very simple, that is, the three knights surround the priest and press forward together.

The knights will protect the priest from harm, and with the priest's feedback, the knight, who is good at defense, has become an unbeatable little powerhouse.

There is a limit to the size of the playing field, and they will continue to advance step by step, gradually shrinking the encirclement, and finally encircling the opposing dough and catching it all.

Therefore, the key to cracking this tactic is to eliminate the priest and make the three knights lose the ability to resist pressure and continue to fight.

And that's where Roy excels.

On the other side, compared to the ease of Roy and the others, the four people on the opposite side all had heavy expressions and wry smiles.

Under the protection of Ritsu Sword Cheyeus, Roy and Arya are both fourth-order, and three of their team are only second-order.

The crushing of the difference in strength between the two orders means that only Roy and Arya are needed to knock them all out.

The warm-up time was quickly over, the protective shield was raised on the field, and as the referee's whistle blew, the second round of eliminations officially began.

The four people on the opposite side glanced at each other with tragic expressions, and then the three knights stepped forward to form a horizontal line, and behind the priest's hall, they resolutely attacked Roy's team.

Although even they thought that the hope of winning was slim, it would be too unseemly to abstain on the spot, and there were so many people in the stands watching.

As a knight, even if you are defeated, you will fall on the way to the charge!

On the side of Roy's team, after the game started, Roy quickly disappeared, because the opponent's lineup did not have long-range output, so Arya was also liberated and did not have to protect Harvey's safety.

The opposing array steadily approached, Harvey unleashed his marksmanship skills, and the three arrows turned into streamers and shot at the three knights respectively.

The three knights raised their shields in unison, and their respective talisman skills were condensed on their bodies: , and.

For a while, the golden light, orange light and silver light reflected each other, and the three arrows hit the shield, like a mud cow entering the sea, without setting off a single wave.

The arena in the division was not large, but it was not long before the three knights were already pressed in front of him, and Arya also summoned the Holy Armor and the Sword of Dawn, and Joyeul turned into a two-meter-long golden greatsword and swept across the field.

The Holy Knight on the opposite side is the only third-order in the team, and in terms of strength, he can actually be the squad leader of this Holy Knight class, but because the light of Arya in the same class is too dazzling, he seems a little obscure.

As a classmate, he naturally knew that he would not be Arya's opponent, but he was already the strongest one in his team.

As the captain, if you don't stand up at this moment, who else can stand up!

Arya's attack was coming, and the Holy Knight let out a loud shout and stepped forward, using the Sword of Dawn as well, condensing a golden greatsword and swinging it at it.

The two golden swords collided, and it was obvious that Arya's side had the advantage, which was the advantage in the quality of spiritual power brought by the fourth order against the third order.

Seeing that his own golden greatsword was gradually overpowered, the guardian knight on the side hurriedly propped it up, sharing some of the pressure for his allies.

The Mithril Knight, spear in hand, flanked Arya in the hope of forcing her to withdraw her sword and return to her defenses.

But Arya didn't raise her shield to defend, and Ye Tianchen's figure appeared beside her.

In the original strategy, this battle would have Arya blocking the attack of the three knights head-on, and Ye Tianchen cutting in from the side, harassing and waiting for an opportunity to knock out the opponent.

The sword in his hand lit up with a hazy halo and unleashed it like lightning towards the Mithril Knight.

The Mithril Knight is particularly good at fending off soul attacks, but the defense against physical damage is more average, and the three sword slashes hit the Mithril Knight at the same time, cutting the dragon scale armor on his body to pieces in an instant.

The intention to attack Arya was interrupted, and the Mithril Knight hurriedly raised his shield and tried to retreat, but Ye Tianchen's body was as agile as an assassin, and the long sword evaded the shield's defense and stabbed at his neck at a strange angle.

The Mithril Knight struggled to turn around, and the blade grazed his shoulder, which was instantly stained red with blood.

"Albert!"

He called out his priest's name as he retreated, but he couldn't wait for the priest's healing technique for a long time.

In desperation, he looked back to check the status of his pastor, but saw the scene that made him desperate.

The priest's face turned pale, and he kept raising his staff and pointing at the Mithril Knight, but the healing was not delayed.

Because his talisman has already been activated first, it is against the rules to use the skill at this time.

Behind the priest, Roy's figure slowly emerged.

Arya single-handedly dragged the Guardian Knight and the Holy Knight down, while Ye Tianchen forced the Mithril Knight to retreat, and the three of them were no longer able to protect the priest's safety.

Valley Epsom

Roy, of course, seized the opportunity, and took advantage of the moment when the priest was about to raise his hand to heal and let his guard down, launching a surprise attack from behind, easily subduing him.

"This classmate ......"

Ye Tianchen's whisper came from the Mithril Knight's ear, and he suddenly felt bad, and quickly turned his head, but the blade of the long sword had already touched his chest, activating his talisman.

“…… It's not a good habit to fight in the Middle East. Ye Tianchen put away his sword and finished the remaining half of the sentence.

Originally, in the face of the attack of the third-order sword cultivator, the second-order Mithril Knight had resisted very reluctantly, but now because of the fall of the priest, he was in chaos, and naturally Ye Tianchen easily caught the flaw.

The team was instantly reduced by two people, and the remaining Guardian Knights and Holy Knights were also on their own, and while they were attracted by Arya's attention, Roy went around behind them, one by one.

After blessing and receiving, the shield armor of the second or third order was as fragile as paper in front of Roy, and the two of them were activated one after another, and the game ended.

"The second round of eliminations is over, and it is Roy's team that has advanced!"

The referee blows the whistle and announces the result.

"Agreed, Moody-san, it's a good fight,"

Arya put her sword back into her sheath and generously stretched out her hand to the Holy Knight in front of her.

They were all classmates of the Holy Knight class, so they naturally knew each other, and Moody shook hands with her and sighed: "As the squad leader, the strength of your team is not at the same level as ours, and we are convinced."

"Please continue to work hard in the next game, if the squad leader can win, we will also be honored."

"We will." Arya smiled.

After the game ended, the audience and players began to leave, Roy walked over, clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Good play, let's continue to win according to this momentum!" ”

"That's a must!" Winning two in a row, Harvey is also high-spirited, "Our strength is absolutely top-notch, even against Qin Xiang, now I believe we can win!" ”

"It's good to have self-confidence, but don't take the enemy lightly." Roy nodded, "After advancing to the round of 13, the academy will select a seeded team to guarantee the semi-finals.

"If the seeded team picks us, maybe our next battle will be against Qin Xiang or Zorn's team in the semifinals."

"I'd rather meet Zorn and them sooner rather than later, it won't be fun if they get eliminated first."

Harvey clenched his fists, "I made a bet with someone on their team, and I had to win against her." So don't worry, Roy, don't look at my usual hanging, at this critical moment, I will never drop the chain. ”

"I naturally believe you." Roy patted him on the shoulder.

While chatting, they also left the arena.

As the final tournament ended, the staff reported the results, and in an office in the district, several mentors in charge of the freshman competition were finalizing the seeding team.

At this time, they were engaged in a heated discussion on this issue.

"Qin Xiang is the only direct descendant of the Temple Family among the freshmen in this class, and considering that Qin Liu has just won, many people have high hopes for him, and there is no problem in escorting Qin Xiang's team to the top four, right?"

One mentor was the first to offer his own opinion.

Another objected: "Zorn has also been promoted to the fourth rank, have you forgotten the criteria for ruling invincibility under the same rank?" If you want me to see it, Qin Xiang has a better chance of winning against Zorn. ”

"Qin Liu has just defeated Vera, and his younger brother can't do it without tasting it."

Someone retorted, "The so-called guidelines are just generally accepted empirical talk, there are precedents, we should be able to trust Qin Xiang to continue to surprise us." ”

At this moment, a one-armed mentor suddenly interjected, "Hey, have you forgotten Arya's team?" At only fifteen years old, I think her potential is much higher than that of the direct line of the Temple family. ”

The others shook their heads: "We never deny her potential, Edward, but even if she counts the bonus of the legal weapon, she is only just the fourth order, and the inheritance is still focused on supporting the Holy Knight."

"Do you think she can win the sword cultivation and judgment of the same rank in the frontal battlefield?"

Edward said, "But don't forget, that weapon can also be added to her teammates, and one of her teammates is a Moon Shadow named Roy, who has a fourth-order strength under the weapon bonus, and has performed very well in both games. ”

The other mentors laughed and said, "Of course we know the effect of Joyeuse, in actual combat, Arya does have two fourth-order inheritors in his team, but Edward, do you really think that two fourth-order inheritors will definitely be able to beat a fourth-order inheritor?"

"Qin Xiang and Zorn are not ordinary fourth-order, the former's swordsmanship is under his father's mastery, and his father Qin Zhu is one of the strongest sword cultivators in Sidney at the moment.

"Zorn is a referee, and his Bourbon family is close to the Ellan royal family, so he also has the top cultivation resources.

"These two geniuses are both existences that can easily beat the inheritors of the same level, if Arya's teammates don't have a few brushes, even if they raise the ranks, it's just a matter of them slashing two more times."

"Then how can you be sure that Roy is just an ordinary fourth-order inheritor?" Edward asked rhetorically.

"Even if any of you haven't actually watched the game, you should be able to see from the post-match records that Roy was exceptionally good in both games.

"This is enough to prove that he is not a pseudo-fourth-order player who was forcibly promoted by the law, so we can reasonably infer that it is the double fourth-order lineup of Roy and Arya, which is the seeded team with the most hope of winning this freshman competition!"

In the office, the mentors looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Edward, you are the one who teaches the Moon Shadow class, do you dare to pack tickets, can Roy and Arya really win those two?" ”

"There is no such thing as a packing ticket." Edward replied calmly, "Every year we predict the winner of the tournament and choose them as seeded players or seeded teams, but it's not uncommon for predictions to fail, and it doesn't hurt to do that.

"And as Moon Shadow's mentor, I can only responsibly say that maybe Roy doesn't have a strong bloodline, but his talent and strength are really good, and even my last student, Crane, is full of praise for him."

"Even Klein of the Florentine family said that?"

Everyone wondered, "Maybe we do need to reassess the strength of Arya's team." ”

"Let's think about it for another five minutes, then."

"Five minutes later, we're voting on which team will make it to the top four. ”

The mentors began to talk one after another, and an old man in a white robe sat down next to Edward and asked, "Speaking of which, your daughter Feiya is also a freshman in this year's class, and I thought she was the strongest Moon Shadow among this year's freshmen." ”

"Don't say it, she was thwarted by Roy twice in a row, and she hasn't been in a good mood lately." Edward smiled wryly.

The white-robed old man bowed his head and said: "I know the strength of Fiya's girl, since Na Roy is even better than Fiya, I think I can try to believe them, I will vote for this team." ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal to be a seeded team."

Edward said indifferently, "Anyway, with their strength, even if they lose, they can enter the semi-finals by playing two more games, I just hope our predictions can be more professional and accurate." ”

"It is worthy of a person who has experienced front-line battles, and the analysis is rigorous." The white-robed old man laughed.

Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the instructors present wrote the names of the team on a piece of paper and began to vote, and then the old man in the white robe was responsible for the vote.

Finally, he counted the results of the vote on the blackboard, and the white-robed old man glanced at it and announced:

"It seems that the conclusion has been made.

"According to the voting results, the Roy team will become the seeded team of this freshman competition and directly advance to the semifinals!"
