“What a pity!If the level gap between Charlie and his opponent was not two but one, he would have won!” Nat said with regret.
Noel frowned and looked at Charlie, who was walking toward the resting area. He muttered, “Although Charlie’s performance was outstanding, his opponent was Taiwu’s eighth-strongest student, a level 37 wind-type dark assassin. Charlie was at an obvious disadvantage under his opponent’s super speed.
The score was now 2:2, but Moss said nothing about it as he analyzed the trend of these matches. Charlie went up against Taiwu’s eighth-strongest member, the weakest of the second-year participants.
Even so, Charlie still lost his match, meaning there was a gap between him and Taiwu’s second-year students if it was a one-on-one match.
As such, no matter who Lila faced next, she would be stronger than the level 37 wind-type dark assassin. Her strength was not comparable to Charlie’s, so her chances of winning were close to zero.
Thus, Moss already knew the score for the first five matches even before Lila took the stage. However, he was not worried, even though the score would be 2:3.
Captain Hardy was at level 39, the highest-level member of Taiwu’s team. The lowest level second-year student was also level 39.
However, Kyoto’s five second-year students were the cream of the crop in Kyoto in terms of level and strength. The five second-year students were also the most outstanding representatives of the first-tier team, so others began to worry.
Lila was preparing to go on stage with a severe expression. Her eyes were full of incomparable fighting spirit as she looked at the stage nearby. She muttered firmly, “I will do my best to win the next match, you guys!”
Moss shook his head smilingly and said gently, “It’s 2:2 now, but the next match’s outcome won’t affect us much. We must believe in Captain Bishop and the others,” after a pause, he continued, “My teammates’ well-being is the most important to me if we want to go further.”
“Moss is right!” Bishop walked over and patted Moss and Lila’s shoulders. He looked at Lila and said kindly, “Don’t burden yourself, Lila.”
His expression was more or less worried when he saw his newer teammates’ expressions. He knew they would waver because of the tied score.
Bishop wanted his new teammates to digest the score, but it was their first time in the competition. He still felt it necessary to communicate with the first-year students, so he walked over.
However, he secretly admired Moss when he heard Moss’s words. “Moss is excellent at looking at the bigger picture. Also, he can perform calmly in such a big competition, meaning he should have his thoughts about the following matches. Otherwise, he would not be indifferent to his desire for victory.”
Bishop swept his gaze across everyone and continued, “Our university has allowed more first-year students to participate in the competition this year to broaden your horizons and increase your experiences.
“However, Kyoto wants you guys to enjoy the competition, not become enslaved to it. Sure, results are crucial, but your growth is even more so. You’re all first-year students, so do your best to enjoy your time here. Leave the rest to us second-year students.
“When you are the main force next year and represent our school to participate in this competition, we will consider how to withstand the pressure!”
Afterward, Bishop gathered Moss and the other first-year students. He led everyone to raise their fists and thundered, “We’re the defending champions! Our opponents are the ones feeling the pressure!”
The first-year students shouted alongside their captain, “We are champions!” They smiled confidently.
…
Lila did not bring any surprises as she lost her match as expected. However, she did not lose unjustly because her opponent was Taiwu’s sixth-best student. Although, he could not compare to the fifth-strongest, “Heated Brown Bear.”
Still, Lila’s opponent was three levels higher than her at level 38. Lila had worked hard this past month and knew she was the weakest in the reserve team.
That was why she trained as hard as possible. She did not want to drag her teammates down and continued to narrow the gap between herself and the others. Her hard work paid off as she reached level 35 before the competition.
Although Lila lost her match, she still smiled as she walked toward the resting area. After listening to Bishop’s words, she felt that participating in the competition was also a form of training and enjoyment.
The other team members also smiled when they saw Lila’s happy expression. If outsiders saw this, they might think the members of Kyoto’s team were weird.
They had just lost a few matches, and Taiwu had overtaken them, yet Kyoto laughed and smiled.
A moment later, Aurora’s voice sounded again as the arena erupted in thunderous cheers and applause. The audience was more enthusiastic because of one person—Bishop. After all, he was the strongest participant in this year’s competition.
He was the most popular participant, especially among the female audience members. Bishop was their Prince Charming.
Bishop received the Best Newcomer award as a first-year student in last year’s first- and second-year student exchange competition. He was also one of the most experienced in this year’s competition.
In addition, Bishop’s popularity was also related to his character and looks. Anyone would let their guard down against his sunny and handsome appearance. He was also modest and kind in how he did things.
Although Kyoto was behind by 2:3, and Tauwu’s first, second, third, fourth, and seventh strongest students had yet to appear, Bishop still looked confident.
Bishop confidently jumped when Aurora mentioned his name. Then he elegantly landed in the ring and posed, looking imposing.
The arena echoed in thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers again when Bishop stood in ring one with his tight white suit.
“Bishop is so handsome!”
“Yeah, I like how confident he looks too!”
…
“It’s a pity his team has so many rookies this year. That’s why Kyoto won’t go far. Otherwise, I’d think Bishop would be the MVP in this year’s competition.”
“I’ll still vote for him!”
Bishop gestured to the audience in all four directions as they discussed animatedly. Moss was impressed when he saw Bishop’s temperament in the ring. To say he was impressed was also a form of admiration.
Moss seemed to see himself as Bishop in next year’s competition. He thought, ‘I want to be like him and become the number one participant in next year’s competition.’
Moss was confident about this and believed he would surpass Bishop, who was now at level 41.
