Chapter 297: An Even Bigger Surprise!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After watching the remaining sparring sessions, Sofia and the other five professors understood the 11 reserve team members’ current strengths and weaknesses.
They unanimously decided to use Moss’s special skills as a secret weapon. For this, they planned to urgently revise the battle plan they had initially planned after the end of this training.
Sophia gathered all the members together when the team training was about to end. She said thoughtfully, “Based on everyone’s performance today, we have decided to adjust the battle plan.”
After that, she looked at Bishop with a slight smile. “Captain Bishop, before the new battle plan is out, I’ll have to trouble you to lead the members to prepare for the training.”
“Okay, no problem!” Bishop nodded and patted his chest.
“Still, I have to emphasize a few points, Captain Bishop. Firstly, you must focus on improving the tacit understanding between Moss and his teammates and the team’s skill coordination.
“Secondly, you must properly practice this lineup except for Moss. You will mainly use this lineup in the early stages of national first- and second-year student competition.”
Her mind was still thinking as she spoke. Although she did not have a detailed battle plan, she already had a general idea: to defend their title through Moss.
She would let Moss onto the field in the first few rounds to get a feel of the atmosphere since the results were irrelevant. It would give the other teams the impression that Moss was not a significant team member.
Then she would give fewer chances to Moss to appear on the field as the competition became more intense. However, she would use him as a trump card when the situation became critical.
Sofia became increasingly expectant as she thought about it. She could not help but reveal an even more charming smile.
After listening to Sophia’s words, Bishop hesitated for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose. His eyes were burning with passion. “Okay, leave that to me, Dean Sofia!”
Sophia nodded in relief. “Well, it’ll be hard on you, Captain Bishop!”
She looked at each reserve team member with inspiring eyes as she spoke. She raised her fist and shouted, “Team members, there’s still more than a week left! The national first- and second-year student competition is about to begin. I wish you all the best!”
“We can do it!” Thunderous voices from the team members echoed throughout Long Shen’s field.
…
As soon as the training ended, Moss returned to his dorm room 005. Although they called it a dorm room, it was more like a single-story villa. After returning, he immediately went to the study room on the second floor.
He sat in front of the computer desk and turned on the laptop.
Ding.
The laptop made a light sound as it turned on. The top ten students in Kyoto had designed the computer Moss was using. It was full of the latest tech.
The keyboard was a hologram, and the screen was a high-tech product that could fold. After unfolding the screen, it would expand up to eight square meters. It was similar to a projector but much clearer.
Tap, tap, tap.
Moss tapped the keyboard projected on the table and soon entered Kyoto’s official website. There were four sections on the website, University Dynamics, Campus Mall, Kyoto Forum, GPA world, and Academic Exchange.
Moss clicked on the personal homepage in the upper left corner first. Once he entered the personal homepage, he could see his basic information.
“Name: Moss.”
“Student Number: 005.”
“Academy: Spiritual Power Academy.”
“GPA: 1,180 points (Ranked 30th among students of the same year)”
Moss was surprised when he saw his GPA ranking, “Huh?”
He did not expect to remain at rank 30 when he had stayed at the EDC for a month. Out of curiosity, he clicked on the GPA details.
“It seems the school has converted my freshman entrance test results into nearly 600 GPA points. The rest I mainly obtained through participating in club activities, national first- and second-year student competition, and reserve team training.”
‘If I could get that many GPA points from the freshman entrance test, then the midterm and final exams would give me even more!’
If Moss achieved excellent results in these two crucial exams, it was very likely that his GPA ranking would rise significantly. However, if he could perform well in the competition before that, it would be likely that his GPA ranking would rise to first place at the end of the semester.
Moss stopped thinking about his GPA. He mainly wanted to understand what had happened in the previous competition and the latest developments of this year’s competitions through the internet.
“It seems that the competition is extremely trendy!”
He didn’t even need to look too far; the competition information had already taken up the most attention-grabbing position on the school’s official homepage.
Moss clicked on it and saw more than 1,000 related posts. Still, he remained calm after seeing so many posts. He typed in the first search keyword, “Last year’s award winners,” and tapped enter.
More than a hundred posts appeared on his screen instantly.
“There’s quite a lot of posts!” Moss looked excited as he chose a few popular posts and read them with interest. He could not help but admire his seniors as he read on.
“Not only did they introduce each winner in great detail, but they also compared them horizontally. I have detailed descriptions of their skills and overall strength in the competition. I admire them!”
He finished reading the top ten most trending posts ten minutes later. Then he muttered, “There were two MVPs for the first time in the last competition. President Aubrey and Cecil are amazing!”
“Captain Bishop is no slouch either since he won the Best Newcomer Award. Kyoto Institute is worthy of being the number one university because they won almost all the awards in the first- and second-year student competition.”
Moss felt deeply inspired when he saw that his seniors had won many awards. He also hoped to show off at the upcoming competition. He entered the second search keyword with excitement, “This year’s trends,” and tapped enter.
Thousands of posts appeared on the laptop screen instantly. Moss’s heart shook when he saw so many posts. “It looks like the popularity of this year’s competition is high!”
Just like before, he picked the posts with the most attention. A moment later, a post titled “Surprise! Professor Locke is a Judge for the First Time!” attracted Moss’s attention.
“Professor Locke will be there too?!” His eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked on it. He could not believe what he saw after clicking on it. “That’s incredible if it’s true!”
After flipping through the posts, Moss leaned back on the leather chair. He was excited but fell into deep thought at the same time.
