The next day, the knockout match of the Jade Dragon Banner was still held in the gymnasium.

The competition went on in an orderly manner, and the scene was still as lively as yesterday, as if the attacks on the competitors had never happened.

The women's players of the Ember Academy communicated with the organizers before the start of the competition and received the reply: "The team competition will continue as usual, but it is allowed to send substitutes to replace the vacancy." ”

In fact, in addition to them, more than a dozen other groups also consulted the organizers with the same problem, and some even protested the unfairness of the competition and demanded a rematch on a later date.

However, the organizers still answered the same set, completely putting on an arrogant attitude of "you love to fight or not, and if you don't want to fight, you will give up and go home".

Due to limited funding, many foreign teams will not bring an extra substitute. Even if some teams are equipped with substitutes, their strength is not as good as the main selection, which will inevitably greatly reduce the team's winning rate.

To sum up, none of these teams that were attacked could participate in the competition with a winning attitude, and this year I am afraid that they will miss out on the Jade Dragon Banner.

The women's group of Ember Academy did not bring substitutes over, so they could only face it with four people, and the situation was extremely unfavorable in the absence of a "main general".

In a hurry, Mizuhashi Hidehime took the initiative to contact Mr. Ushiwamaru and ask him for his opinion.

"It's really unlucky, how could such a thing happen." Teacher Niu Ruomaru was extremely distressed after hearing this, but he couldn't persuade them to give up, after all, they had paid so much sweat, but they didn't come here to travel for two days and then go home.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Niu Ruomaru patted his head and said, "Mizuhashi-san, you can go up on top." ”

"Eh, eh, eh. I?! Mizuhashi Hideki was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone, and pointed at herself in amazement:

"But I can't, I've only been studying for a month or two, and it's not professional training."

"But if you can be substituted, you can always give your classmates a better chance of winning, right?" Teacher Niu Ruomaru sat at the table and said in a calm tone:

"I'm just making an offer, and it's okay if you don't want to, after all, this request is a bit difficult for you."

“.” After ending the call, Mizuhashi Hideki showed a rare solemn look.

If it was a senior who was asked like this, what would he do.

After a long silence, she came to the other girls and said:

"Please let me come in as a substitute, I want to help you too."

"Huh? But Mizuhashi-san hasn't studied kendo professionally, right? One girl exclaimed, "Do you know the rules of the game?" ”

"Well, I know the rules of kendo." Mizuhashi Hideki nodded decisively and said, "Please let me play as a striker, and I will try to help you solve an opponent. No, even if it is to drain the opponent's stamina! ”

After discussing with the four girls, they readily agreed to let Hideki Mizuhashi serve as the "striker", that is, the first "cannon fodder" to take the lead in the team competition.

Generally speaking, the first players to play in the team competition are cannon fodder, which is used to drain the enemy's stamina. It is the core and main force that sits in the rear, until the final harvest is completed.

The problem on the girl's side was barely solved. It's business as usual on the boys' side, and Kyushu Cheng told them a few words about the pre-game mobilization, so that they let go of the fight and don't leave regrets.

"Private Hideash Academy vs. Eighty Inaba High School. The first game begins! ”

The women's competition began, and Hideki Mizuhashi changed into a makeshift trumpet kendo uniform and took the stage with a bamboo sword in her hand.

Just standing on the stage, Mizuhashi Hideki trembled with nervousness, and the bamboo sword also shook significantly.

Her opponent was a tall girl, and when he saw her funny appearance, he instantly took her for a novice and let out a casual scornful laugh.

"Let's go!"

The two sides stepped at each other, and the tall girl was obviously very light, raising the bamboo sword above her head and posing in an undefended upper pose.

"Yuanmei, don't underestimate the enemy!" The teammates in the audience shouted, but the tall girl turned a blind eye, apparently wanting to end the game with a loud downward slash and kick the rookie, who couldn't even hold the sword, out of the ring.

Mizuhashi Hideki looked at her opponent through the gap in her mask and swallowed nervously.

"Don't be nervous that my seniors have given me special training, I will win."

In fact, her current trembling appearance is deliberately pretended, and it is also the advice given to her by her predecessors:

"Mizuhashi-san's body is very petite, and it is easy for people to feel that they are easy to bully. You can simply use this to your advantage, deliberately act cowardly and weak in battle, and strike a fatal blow when your opponent takes it lightly. ”

The so-called high-end hunters often appear as prey. Mizuhashi Hideki is exactly what he intends to do - anyway, the rules of the game do not prohibit pretending to be weak and selling miserably, and the opponent can only blame himself for taking it lightly if he is deceived.

Faced with the enemy's flawed arrogant posture, Mizuhashi Hideki took a deep breath, rushed forward in her arms, and slashed at the opponent's face with a swing of his sword.

"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead~" The tall girl immediately turned the sword and tried to fight with the other party, relying on brute force to solve her.

But just when Mizuhashi Yingji's sword slash was about to be blocked by the other party, she suddenly made the bamboo sword turn in a small circle, "Bang——! "A blow to the opponent's wrist.

"Hit the hand, score effectively!" Seeing this, the referee immediately raised his flag and announced.

The tall girl didn't fully react for a while, and she thought that the other party was a novice who came to make up the numbers, but she didn't expect to be humiliated by such calculations. After hesitating for a moment, she had to reap the consequences, regrouping and continuing to play.

But because he was set up as soon as he came up, his mentality was shaken, and the tall girl was also full of loopholes in the follow-up duel, and was finally won by Mizuhashi Hideki by a slight advantage, and regretfully left the arena.

The day's selection will come to an end again in the evening, and tomorrow will be the final round.

The boys' team of Ember Academy was lucky enough to get a relatively weak opponent, so they made it to the finals, and they also advanced to the singles competition, and everyone planned to go to dinner in the evening to celebrate.

Unfortunately, the team competition of the girls' group was defeated in the end, and this year they had to stop at the preliminary round.

This team currently lacks the core main force, and can only pull a novice who has just learned kendo for a few months to come over to make up the number, both in terms of comprehensive strength and momentum.

Although Mizuhashi Hideki calculated several opponents with low psychological quality through the tactic of "showing the enemy with weakness" at the beginning, as the game deepened, the opponents became more and more level, almost crushing Mizuhashi Hideki out of the arena, and then defeated the other four players one after another. One seeded team almost made the strikers go 5-on-1, and they almost lost face.

The four girls who participated in the team competition refused the boys' invitation to dinner, and after the competition, they went back to the hotel in a pitiful state.

After finishing the meal, the boys went back to the hotel to rest, and Makoto Kyushu was also going to continue to sleep with a knife today, in case the monster came to attack again.

After taking a shower, Makoto Kyushu went to the vending machine in the lobby and bought a bottle of mineral water. He was just about to go back after drinking water, but he saw Qinggong Eliza walking in, looking tired again.

"How's it going today?" Makoto Kyushu asked, "You look very tired." ”

"Ahh

"Nearly ten more players were killed just now, it's really annoying, I guess you must want to know more about it, right?"
