337 The Attention Level Keeps Rising!
The top 16 matches had ended.
Shanghai University, Changjiang University, Ocean University, and Shuimu University had terrific matches in the afternoon and were delighted.
However, the match that attracted the most attention and left the most profound impression on the audience was the match between Kyoto and Aerospace.
Even though the match had ended, most audience members were still chatting about the match.
“Kyoto University’s performance is becoming increasingly impressive. They eliminated Donghu and Aerospace, two of the top 10 universities. Luck is out of the equation.”
“They’re indeed solid. Kyoto has five rookies too.”
“There are more newcomers. The disadvantages weren’t as evident in the team matches as in the individual matches. The more important thing in team matches is cooperation and the team’s overall strength.”
“Indeed, the rookies from Kyoto are outstanding. Although they’re a little lacking compared to the second-year students from Military University, they can coordinate well with Bishop and the other five second-year students. They have performed well.”
“That Moss from Kyoto left a deep impression on me. He always surprises me.”
“I wonder if Moss will surprise us again in the next match against Military University.”
“That’s a must. I have confidence in Moss.”
“The chances of Kyoto winning the competition are getting higher and higher. Even an authoritative prediction agency has raised their chances of winning.”
…
When the top 16 matches ended, Kyoto not only became the audience’s focus of discussion, but it also became the focus of the media and the internet.
In particular, Shangde Athletic Group had increased the probability of Kyoto winning the competition to 25%.
Although there was still a gap between them and Eastern University, which had a 39% chance of winning, they had already surpassed Magic City University. They rose to third place in the competition.
If it were not for the fact that they were in District A alongside Eastern University, the chances of Kyoto winning the competition would be even higher.
As the competition became increasingly popular, the competition’s popularity dominated the major media.
Eastern Times:
“Only Eastern University can stop Kyoto.”
“The rookie Knight has brought us another surprise.”
…
Capital TV Station:
“The defending champion has shown his true strength. Six consecutive wins are just around the corner.”
“Moss, the pride of Kyoto. The pride of first-year students.”
…
National News:
“This year’s competition has stirred up a storm of youth at Kyoto University.”
“The exchange competition is gradually turning into a white-hot event. Who will be the champion this year?”
…
National Professional Alliance News:
“There are many popular vocations in the competition. There are also new highlights in the traditional vocations.”
“Moss, the one who carries the flag of the revival for the Knight profession.”
“Your basic profession knowledge is increasing day by day.”
…
The newspapers and media were all over the place. The netizens’ discussion and analysis of the first-and second-year student exchange competition were explosive.
Similar news appeared on Reddit and headlines everywhere. The discussion about Kyoto was undoubtedly the most intense.
“In the next round, Kyoto will face a top 10 team for the third time in a row. However, I still think they will emerge victorious.”
“After the last match against Aerospace, I believe they can defeat Military University. Still, Military University won’t let them pass so easily.”
“It won’t be a problem for them to win the next round, but Military University will entirely exhaust Kyoto. Then Kyoto will face Eastern University, which has been waiting for someone to exhaust them. Therefore, the semi-finals will be Kyoto’s last dance.”
“Your analysis is very objective, but Kyoto will bring us a miracle and defend their title again.”
“Don’t tell me it’s because of Moss and Bishop. A miracle is a miracle, after all. If there are always miracles, they won’t be called miracles.”
“Don’t even talk about defending the competition. It’s too complicated. After getting past Military University, it’ll be more challenging than ascending to the heavens to get past the hosts who are determined to win the competition.
“Even if Kyoto somehow gets past Eastern University, they should be covered in injuries.
“Suppose they were to encounter Shanghai University or Shuimu University, who are also the top three institutes; do you think Kyoto, which is already an arrow at the end of its flight, would still have a chance to compete with Shanghai or Shuimu?”
“I’ll still say the same thing. Never underestimate the heart of a champion.”
…
There were various comments on the internet, but most netizens thought, ‘Kyoto will win against Military University but lose to Eastern University and stop at the top four.’
Faced with overwhelming information, Moss did not have the time to pay attention. Even if he wanted to pay attention to it, he did not have the time.
After all, he had to focus on the school’s club activities when he was free during the competition, especially finding the Lost Map of Humanity.
In addition to related missions and the EDC special operation team’s progress, Moss also had to analyze the conditions to unlock his next profession evolution.
Whenever Moss had the time, he would also spend it focusing on the spatial rift and the Great Beast Tide that could arrive at any moment.
On the day of the competition with Military University, Moss had woken up early to use the computers the organizers had prepared for each room to search for relevant information.
After searching for information and checking the relevant professional forums, Moss could not help but frown.
‘Over the past week, the spatial rifts and beasts that emerged from them had caused two incidents. So far, 38 people have died, and more than 100 have gotten severely injured.’
Moss’s heart trembled when he thought of this.
‘There are frequent spatial rifts, accompanied by some Magical Beasts. Does this mean the Great Beast Tide is near? I must know when it’ll occur. If so, what’s the reason behind its appearance?’
Questions kept appearing in Moss’s mind, and he was perplexed. He wanted to get the answers to these questions as soon as possible.
“Maybe Professor Locke can help me.”
Ring, ring, ring! The phone in the room rang.
Moss picked up the phone, and Nat’s voice came from the other end, “Moss, Captain Bishop just informed us that we should arrive at the exclusive lounge half an hour earlier than planned.
“Leader Sophia still has some things to tell us. Let’s go together. I have some things to discuss with you on the way.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up, Moss could not help but wonder, ‘Usually, Captain Bishop would personally inform me. Why was it Nat this time?’
Moss did not know Nat had volunteered as Bishop’s assistant yesterday. In the future, she could do the small things in Bishop’s place.
However, Moss did not overthink—instead, he quickly switched his brain into “pre-battle preparation mode.”
He was thinking about quickly weakening Military University’s combat power at a smaller price.
