Option one is 19%, option three is 9.5%, option four is 4.7%, and option five is 66.7%.

…

[Option 5]

[Go and convince Taotao to sign up]

…

If the other party doesn't sign up, nothing will happen.

Zheng Zhuo thought as he looked at Tao Tao's leaving figure.

His first task should be to get Tao Tao to sign up.

As for letting her compete alone or with others...

"Then it's definitely better to compete alone."

Zheng Zhuo is so sure.

After all, the first round of the competition [Knockout Round] requires all members of the team to reach the finish line before passing.

If the newly added partner is worse than Tao Tao, Zheng Zhuo will have to support two people at the same time. The difficulty will increase exponentially.

If the new partner is much better than Tao Tao...

...Then why would he/she come to partner with Tao Tao? Even if he/she could find such a partner, he/she would be afraid of a conspiracy behind it, which would make people even more uneasy.

After it was clear that he wanted to participate alone, the next question arose.

That is because Tao Tao could not be persuaded to participate alone.

Zheng Zhuo used the school administrator's authority to enter the library database and check the school rules. The school rules did not clearly state that "contestants are not allowed to participate alone", but after checking the previous results, he found that there were only some special circumstances - such as a temporary injury to a partner, or a partner being injured.

Temporary breakup of the group - only one person can participate.

Not surprisingly, almost all single players were eliminated in the first round. Even if a few were lucky enough to enter the second round, they were completely unable to compete one against two, and all were eliminated at the bottom of the points competition.

That is to say...

You can't win if you compete alone. Even if Tao Tao is not incapacitated by the curse of changing attributes, he probably won't be able to win the championship by himself.

It’s no wonder she didn’t choose to sign up alone.

Zheng Zhuo pushed the sweeping machine to where Tao Tao was sitting. He saw many thick books piled on the table.

"The Circuit of Magic", "Discussion on the Differentiation of Nature", "Magic: Basic Mastery", "Rehabilitation after Injury"...

Covering almost all directions. It can be seen that Tao Tao himself still wants to recover as soon as possible and participate in the competition.

"...If I am motivated, it will be easy to handle."

Zheng Zhuo touched his chin. Recently, he became accustomed to doing this action when thinking.

"Having motivation shows that... even if she is forced to participate half-heartedly by some coercive measures, she will not immediately think about quitting..."

Zheng Zhuo pushed the buzzing sweeping machine and left the library again.

If he wants to persuade Tao Tao to sign up, he must first understand the other person's current situation and interpersonal relationships.

What kind of situation can convince her? What kind of person can persuade her? Or... what kind of tricks can be used?

In order to know these things, Zheng Zhuo wants to conduct an investigation. And speaking of investigation...

He now has a very useful skill.

…

The bell rang for the end of get out of class. Several teachers left the classroom with lesson plans in their arms. They met in the corridor, nodded to each other, and walked along the corridor to the teacher's office.

During this period, the teachers passed by the school bulletin board.

"This year's college competition is about to begin..."

I don’t know who sighed first.

"Yeah, time flies so fast."

“It feels like the last one was just yesterday.”

The teachers started chatting.

"Hey, tell me, who is most likely to win the championship this year?"

asked the teacher at the end.

"Guo Shuang from Class 1, right? In the past few months, the stability of shooting has improved a lot."

"I'm more optimistic about Lin Duo from Class 3. He was second last year, and he also scored very high in the magic accuracy test this year."

"Hey, tell me, Tao Tao...how is it?"

"ah……"

The professors sighed at the same time and looked away.

"What a pity child."

"Really? But..."

"It's probably out of the question."

"——Don't say that."

Among the teachers who looked away, the teacher at the front frowned and turned around. He was a male teacher with gray hair and wore big, old-fashioned glasses.

"She works very hard! She is the hardest working student I have ever seen - she also has a good understanding of magic -"

"No, but there are only five days left before registration? If we haven't resumed yet, we probably won't be able to catch up..."

"Don't say that."

The male professor said seriously.

"We can't make a conclusion until the end... I hope she can catch up -"

Click.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound that sounded like taking pictures.

Huh? The professors looked around because of the sound. get out of class ended at ten minutes, and there were many people in the corridor. Everyone saw a few students walking past, fiddling with their watches. I guess they were confirming their study plans.

With this thought in mind, the professors entered the teacher's office. No one noticed that one of the teachers just left quietly.

…

Shortly after.

"Eh~ Senior Sister Tao Tao? What a pity for her!"

"It's not a pity! It's not a pity! I have always paid attention to her - although she is very strong, she is a very simple person! I have never seen someone who is as wholeheartedly devoted to the study of combat skills as she is! Just because I saw her,

She just decided to join the combat class! She will definitely recover - she will definitely have time to sign up!"

"Eh~ But, it's already..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen! It's just too late!"

Click.

"Huh? Did someone take a photo of you just now?"

"No~ Who would suddenly take a photo? Did you hear wrong~"

…

"Tao Tao? You can't be a magister now. It's so funny. You have occupied the position for so many years, isn't it just because you are born with rare attributes? This is God's fairness. Give up the position and let us sit too.

sit!"

Click.

…

"Huh? Tao Tao? Ah... He's always the one who gets first place, right? He seemed to be sick a while ago? I don't care much about it. Anyway, poor students like us have no chance of competing in that competition. Hmm? She

Didn’t sign up? Who knows if it’s a strategy. I remember that several good guys like to sign up at certain points - it is said that this can ‘control the random numbers’ and be assigned to a more favorable area in the first round.”

"Is that so? Let me see...ah, indeed. Among the people ranked slightly higher, some of them did not sign up..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Ah, it's nothing."

…

The ordinary-looking boy turned the corner and hid in the corner of the teaching building. He took off the student jacket he "borrowed" from the lost and found office, revealing the school janitor's short sleeves underneath.

When performing this action, the boy's face melted like a gummy candy under the scorching sun. Finally, it changed back to Zheng Zhuo's appearance.

"……call."

Zheng Zhuo, who was himself again, wiped the sweat from his forehead. He threw his uniform back into the lost and found box on this floor and opened his watch.
