That night, Shen Yun told others in detail about the characteristics of several outstanding academies, which even included some special martial arts and magic that the students of those academies had displayed in previous competitions. After asking a few more After asking the question, Chris let everyone go back to rest. The war was about to begin, so the regular meetings in the past two days usually would not be held until very late.
The next day is the day to determine the qualifications of all the new teams in the semi-finals. At this time, there are no weaklings left in the holy war. It can be said that any college that has reached this point is an opponent worthy of Blue Water College's seriousness. Therefore, Keli Si also organized everyone to go to the scene to watch the knockout matches on the last day, so that everyone could have a more intuitive understanding of the teams that paid special attention.
Following Chris, they came to the stand dedicated to Blue Water and sat down. Except for Shen Yun and the five other students, the other students were a little surprised by the changes in the surrounding audience. Compared with the blind enthusiasm for jihad a few days ago, at this time The audience seemed to be calmer, but the exciting atmosphere became increasingly intense in the venue.
The game started soon. Because it was the last round of the knockout round, the teams that had previously relied on their strength to hold back some hands were going all out today. All kinds of equipment and props that had not appeared in the previous rounds were on the stage one after another. After all, no one knows how many tricks the opponent may have hidden. If he loses the qualification to advance due to carelessness, it would be really funny.
"They are indeed very strong!" After watching for a while, Yitzhak suddenly said in a deep voice. The glasses geeks and others around him nodded repeatedly, with serious expressions on their faces.
Although I know that no one can reach this point, but after all, as a seed team, the young warriors of Blue Water Academy are still somewhat proud. They always feel that even if they are not ranked high in the seed team, they are always good. They were stronger than those newly promoted teams. However, after seeing the magic flying in the field and the tacit cooperation of the warriors, they finally knew that if they were not careful, they would really be pulled down!
Shen Yun's reconnaissance was very accurate. At the end of the day's fierce battle, there was almost no difference between the eight teams selected and his prediction.
"Ahem, now let me announce the list of new teams for this Holy War rematch." A middle-aged man with an aristocratic appearance stood in the center of the venue. Although a lot of blood from the fierce battle was spilled around him, But he didn't have any strange expression at all. He was obviously a battle-hardened warrior.
"The new teams in this Jihad semi-final are: Sam Academy in the first group, Black Feather Academy in the second group, Phantom Academy in the third group, Crystal Academy in the fourth group, Tieshan Academy in the fifth group, Crescent Academy in the sixth group, Youth Academy in the seventh group and Endless Avengers in the eighth group. Let us give warm applause to these winners and all the colleges that have fought hard in the previous knockout rounds! You are all Anda Ruth’s pride!”
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, a burst of applause suddenly sounded like a tsunami. Everyone stood up and paid tribute to these young people who had been fighting for their beliefs for several days. And those who had been eliminated in the previous knockout rounds The college was not left out in the cold. Countless compliments and encouraging glances rushed to the stands where they were standing, causing these young people who were still a little depressed to stand up and return the favor. Their faces also bloomed with dazzling brilliance.
Chris clapped her hands twice, then sighed in a low voice: "I'm lucky this year, no one died..."
Shen Yun nodded in agreement. He knew that although the organizers of each session would summon many doctors and even loan some of the singers' advanced professional Holy Light Priests to the Holy Light Cathedral to be at the holy battlefield in case of unexpected events, it would still be inevitable for each session to Several students were unable to receive treatment either because the incident occurred suddenly or because their injuries were too severe. Although everyone can understand this kind of loss, it is still very heartbreaking. And this class has been able to maintain zero deaths so far. I have to say that this is extremely gratifying news.
Of course, zero death does not mean zero casualties. According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of the knockout round today, the number of students seriously injured due to jihad has reached 42. Most of them have been confirmed to be disabled to varying degrees, and a few have even completely recovered from the disease. The elemental power is gone.
As the middle-aged man announced that the jihad rematch would begin in three days, the audience began to slowly disperse outside the venue. The injured students would be arranged to the backstage of the venue, where professional doctors would conduct a comprehensive examination on them. .
On the way back, Chen Yun kept looking at the notebook in his hand absentmindedly, and the frown on his face made Yu Qianqian worried.
"Ayun, what's wrong?" Yu Qianqian walked up to Chen Yun and gently squeezed Chen Yun's big hand, her face full of concern.
"Well, it's not a big deal..." Shen Yun looked a little hesitant, as if something was difficult to judge: "It's just that I was wondering, did I miss a very strong team?"
"A very strong team? Which one?" Yu Qianqian asked in surprise. She had been watching the games with Shen Yun at the stadium these past few days, and she didn't think that besides the teams summarized by Shen Yun, there was that other team. It requires special attention.
Chen Yun circled the notebook a few times, then handed it to Yu Qianqian and said: "Look at this... Black Feather Academy, the second group of newly promoted teams."
"I don't pay much attention to this team, but I seem to remember that their performance has always been mediocre and nothing special." Yu Qianqian frowned and thought about it for a long time. Obviously this team did not arouse her interest at the time.
"It's just because it's too mediocre..." Chen Yun thought for a while, then said hello to Yu Qianqian, then ran to Chris and told her his thoughts.
In fact, now that all the new teams have been confirmed, it is meaningless to discuss whether one of them is special. But Shen Yun just feels that he should express his thoughts, otherwise, there will always be an irritable feeling lingering in his heart. Not going.
After listening to Shen Yun's description, Chris thought quietly for a moment and then raised her head and said, "Are you saying that this Black Feather Academy has no outstanding performance in every game and only narrowly defeats its opponents in every game?"
"Yes, my impression is that their games are very boring. They always have to fight until both teams are exhausted before the winner is determined. But this is not the point. The most important thing is that none of their players has been injured." Shen Yun scratched his head and said with some uncertainty: "Of course, this is not certain yet. After all, I didn't pay much attention to them at the time, and I didn't go to several games. But at least it was like this in the few games I saw. "
"That's it. Then what do you suspect?" Chris nodded, then smiled and said: "Do you suspect that they are hiding their strength? This is normal. Then if our opponent in the next game is not them, we should take a closer look. Now, they can't hide their strength in the semi-finals."
"Yes." Shen Yun nodded in agreement. This is the only thing that can be done for now. In fact, he doesn't know what the use is of saying this now. In fact, as soon as the rematch begins, Blue Water Academy will definitely face every opponent with all its strength, so It no longer matters whether the opponent has hidden his strength before. And the information that was not learned in the knockout round is unlikely to be learned before the start of the rematch.
In the next three days, the atmosphere in the Crystal Villa suddenly became tense. The Jihad Seed Team, which had seemed to be showing off their superiority outside the situation, all felt the pressure. The leisurely smiles they had when entering and exiting had long since disappeared, replaced by the words on the eve of the war. of solemnity and silence.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything. Compared with the participating students from Blue Water Academy and the other two academies, the participants from Holy Light Academy are much more relaxed and comfortable. In addition to going to the fixed training ground on time to practice, these Holy Light Academy participants The knights and singers played in pairs in Licai City every day, fully enjoying the joy brought by the festival, which made the students of Blue Water feel very depressed.
On the day before the start of the Holy War semi-finals, the entire Licai City suddenly fell silent. This silence was not a sound silence. It was a kind of depression. This kind of depression was not only felt by the students participating in the semi-finals. Indeed, even many civilians in Licai City are like this, which actually makes Licai City, which has been in a fiery atmosphere since the beginning of the Holy Feather Festival, cool down a bit.
Under such circumstances, Chris once again summoned all the members of Blue Water Academy to participate in the holy war. Even the cheerleaders and Huck were required to attend. When Shen Yun and others were sitting around the round table, they saw When Chris walked in with a stack of magic photocopies in her hand, everyone breathed heavily.
Chrissy's face was a little heavy, and although she seemed to be trying her best to appear relaxed, everyone could tell from her furrowed brows and slightly twitching cheeks that she was in a bad mood.
"The list of opponents for the semi-finals has come out. There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Chris waved the magic photocopy and forced a smile on her lips.
No one responded to her. All the students, including Shen Yun, just looked at Chris quietly.
"What a bunch of kids without a sense of humor. Okay, I'll just say it." Chris handed the magic photocopy to Huck and motioned for him to distribute it. Then she took a gentle breath and said with a smile on her face: "The good news is that we didn't run into Holy Light Academy in the first two rounds."
"Huh~"
There was a sigh of relief in the living room. Although they usually refused to give in, everyone including Chris believed that the current strength of Blue Water Academy was not comparable to that of Holy Light Academy. It can be said that Blue Water Academy The reason why the college can maintain a record of never falling out of the seeded team is largely because the first round of the Holy War rematch must be the seeded team vs. the newly promoted team.
"We didn't meet in the first two rounds...Teacher Chris, what do you mean..." Shen Yun frowned.
"Yes, if we can get through two rounds, our opponent in the third round should be Holy Light Academy!" Chrissy nodded, confirming Shen Yun's guess.
All the students from Blue Water were silent for a while, and suddenly they all laughed easily. Ampere even smiled and said to Chris: "It's nothing. If we can reach the third round, we can be considered the top four players." .Although I will be screened out by Holy Light Academy, I still have a chance to compete for third place. I remember that the best result in the history of our academy was third place."
"Indeed, if we can reach the third round..." Chris put her hand on her forehead and gently rubbed her temples with her index finger: "However, our opponent in the second round is... the dwarves of the Earth's Core Furnace... …”
"Well……"
Lan Shui and the others were stunned. At this time, Huck had just sent the magic photocopies to everyone's hands. Everyone couldn't wait to look at the photocopies in their hands. As in previous years, the 16 semi-final teams were divided into two groups. , and the battle list this time is as follows:
Group One: Holy Light Academy vs Sam Academy
Nine Star Academy vs Endless Avengers
The Forge of the Earth (Dwarves) vs. Iron Mountain Academy (Dwarves)
Blue Water Academy vs Crystal Academy
Group 2: Kaguya Forest (Elf) vs Phantom Academy
Beastmaster Academy vs Crescent Academy (Elves)
Alchemy Lecture (Goblin) vs Youth Academy
Lihu Academy vs Black Feather Academy
Among them, except Jiuxing Academy and Lihu Academy, which were the newly promoted seed teams in the last session, the other seed teams are all veteran strong players from the Andalus continent. It is worth mentioning that in the last session, Jihad Crystal Academy, which was also from the mainland, The old academy, one of the three major forces in mankind, was brought down by Nine Star Academy. And if they can survive two rounds this time, they will have a chance to take revenge for what they did three years ago.
"K, Teacher Chris, that's not right... our opponent in the first round seems to be the Crystal Academy!" After Huck sent out the photocopy, he picked up one and glanced at it. His eyes widened and he stammered. The way.
"Really?" Chris was stunned. She grabbed the photocopy in Huck's hand and quickly scanned it. Only then did she realize that she had just been looking at the two major enemies of the Earth's Core Furnace and Holy Light Academy, and she had subconsciously transferred Lan Shui's The first opponent was missed.
Clapping her hands twice, Chris showed a bright smile to the students who were looking at each other: "Everyone, it seems we need to add one more piece of bad news!"
Everyone: "..." (To be continued...)
