Chapter 172

Since both people have prepared the screens in advance and the interfaces are lit up, the mutual selection process is naturally faster than you can imagine.

Jiang Yunu found Song Yang's name in the list of qualified players and sent him a request for the second round of competition. Song Yang accepted it almost immediately.

After the mutual selection was completed, both names appeared in each other's player system.

Song Yang looked over the list of confirmed opponents again and again, feeling extremely satisfied, and exuding a sense of contentment as if his life had been fulfilled.

Jiang Yunu felt that the other person's appearance was really exaggerated.

"It's just a match." The white-haired girl rarely lacked confidence in her words. She rarely showed her earnest admonition to her seemingly overzealous opponent. "Are you expecting too much? What if, when the time comes, it's not as good as you thought?"

Pei Ya was sitting opposite Jiang Yunu. When Song Yang attacked her, she had consciously moved to the side to avoid being knocked down by the tall male classmate who "turned a deaf ear to the outside world and was only focused on fighting with Jiang Yunu".

Hearing Jiang Yunu's word "beautiful", the girl who was also wearing thick glasses today slowly raised her head.

She felt that anyone who could use "beauty" to pre-set a battle was definitely not an ordinary person.

However, Song Yang obviously had the same train of thought as Jiang Yunu.

"No!" Song Yang said firmly, "It would definitely be fun to fight against an opponent that I'm particularly interested in!"

Jiang Yunu thought for a few seconds after hearing this, and then she said, "Okay."

As soon as the second round of the "Challenge Cup" school competition started again, Jiang Yunu confirmed his first opponent in the second round.

At this point, there are still two vacancies on her second-round opponent selection list.

Lynette Nagu still hadn't taken the initiative to look for her, as if he had suddenly lost his memory on New Year's Day and had completely forgotten about her and the declaration of war.

The second opponent that Jiang Yunu encountered who came to him on his own initiative was... a strange and annoying guy.

"Are you the short white-haired kid in first grade?"

This was the first sentence the second opponent said when he came to the door.

Not polite at all, very arrogant.

Jiang Yunu hated this kind of derogatory statement that seemed to be disparaging her at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed disparaging, and the words used were quite consistent with objective facts.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yunu glanced at the other person and said vindictively, "This senior who looks...especially like a student's parent?"

After saying that, she felt that her attack power was not equal to hers, and she cursed in her heart, "Damn it!"

However, Jiang Yunu felt that the attack power was not equal to his own, so the expression of this "mature"-looking male student, who was in an unknown grade, suddenly became distorted.

"Good, very good!" the other party said through gritted teeth, "You are just like what my cousin said, sharp-tongued and likes to play tricks in battle."

Jiang Yunu had no idea who the other person's cousin was.

The white-haired girl stared at the face of the unfamiliar and mature senior, trying to find traces of connection between his facial features and an acquaintance she had dealt with before. However, as mentioned earlier, she was not very good at remembering male facial features.

As for those who are not very familiar and who I don’t have much contact with on a daily basis, I am even worse at remembering them.

"Your cousin." Jiang Yunu had no choice but to say, "Do I know such a person?"

The opponent became even more angry: "Don't play dumb! My cousin was the one you tricked and knocked off the fighting stage last year!"

"……oh."

Jiang Yunu finally realized it, and she searched for such a goal in her mind.

"That third-year student who said he was going to teach me a lesson and then fell off the stage screaming is your cousin?" Jiang Yunu said, "But you two don't look alike. If you look closely, not only do you not look alike, but you also look like you're of different generations. You really don't look like peers."

The white-haired girl's tone was calm, and even a bit sincere.

But everyone could tell that she was sincerely poking at the other person about his age.

The mature-looking male classmate was also a third-year student, and was indeed of the same generation as the senior that Jiang Yunu met in the preliminary round.

It is said that this mature senior was only half a year older than the screaming senior at that time.

But in terms of appearance, the two look as if they are half a generation apart in age.

Jiang Yunu didn't know that his defeated opponent had taken advantage of the New Year holiday to complain to his cousin at a family gathering. The core of the complaint was: criticizing Jiang Yunu for using tricks in the competition, being cunning and scheming, and playing tricks. It was all thanks to Jiang Yunu's tricks that the opponent accidentally lost to an unknown country girl from the seventh district!

What this person said sounded like the truth, and perhaps he also felt from the bottom of his heart that if he had been more cautious, Jiang Yunu would not have "succeeded".

So, the senior successfully tricked his cousin into becoming disabled.

"I was completely fooled by her little tricks on stage!" The defeated third-year student complained in front of his cousins, "If it weren't for her tricks and some mysterious tricks, how could I have lost?!"

None of the friends who watched the whole game believed the words "How could he lose?" and no one wanted to stand up for him.

But my cousin, who was not present during the battle, believed it.

His cousin approached Jiang Yunu and, like his cousin, launched into a barrage of harsh words, severely despising Jiang Yunu. He then demanded, "You must fight me fair and square. I want to defeat a little girl like you from the Seventh District!"

When talking about "little girl", this person deliberately glanced at the top of Jiang Yunu's head with a sense of superiority, and used the word as a pun.

In front of someone who deliberately offended her and tried to provoke her emotions, Jiang Yunu quickly calmed down and became desensitized to the "shortcomings" that the other party deliberately tried to exploit.

"I will make you fail with honor." Jiang Yunu said.

And she decided to call this man "Brother Upright" from now on.

The "upright brother" failed to get the expected reaction. He didn't see the white-haired girl getting angry, so he walked away feeling a little depressed.

Before leaving, they did not forget to complete the mutual selection.

Jiang Yunu looked at the extra name in his second round of opponent selection. When the name in second place disappeared, he had already made up his mind to call the other party by the new nickname.

Maybe she is destined to have opponents who will come to her automatically. Her third opponent came to her after this "upright brother".

"Actually, I've been struggling for a long time, considering whether I should try you out for the school team right away, or wait until you can advance to the third round." The third opponent who came was a senior, a sophomore, who had a small dimple on her left cheek when she smiled.

"I'm the current 'Scout' for the Golden Urie school team. During the league, I mainly do scouting," the senior said. "Of course, when there's no league going on, finding potential recruits among the incoming freshmen each year is also a 'Scout's' job outside of competition."

This senior student’s name is Jin Qing.

Her initiative to come here means that Jiang Yunu has attracted the attention of the Golden Uriel Academy League team again.

Jiang Yunu recalled a previous discussion she had with Pei Ya about the school team at Duma College in the neighboring First District. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, doesn't our school team have a rule where all players have to go through the Challenge Cup all over again every year to stay on the team?"

Jin Qing laughed when she heard it.

"You're talking about Duma College," the senior student said, "right?"

The uniqueness of the Duma College team is well-known among all the colleges and universities in the upper three districts.

Jin Qing also patiently explained to Jiang Yunu, "Our school is different from Duma Academy. First of all, we don't have so many people who love fighting and supernatural competitions, so the competition for school team seats is not as intense. Re-election every year might make it difficult for the school team to be fully staffed."

"Secondly, a rule like Duma College's, requiring a round of re-election every year, is very rare among schools in the upper three districts. It's their only 'internal rule.'"

Re-election may lead to a shortage of people in the school team, making Jiang Yunu realize once again the gap between his own college and Duma College in the league.

Jin Qing tilted her head slightly and took in the expression of the white-haired girl.

The senior suddenly asked, "Were you just thinking about what would happen if you accidentally beat me in our match, causing me to lose both wins, and then failing to advance to the next round, thus losing my spot on the school team?"

"..." Jiang Yunu quickly denied, "How could that be?"

The white-haired girl bowed her head obediently in front of the senior student. She said very humbly, politely and sweetly, "How could I have such blind self-confidence? This is so rude."

Jin Qing and Jiang Yunu were not familiar with each other yet, and they couldn't tell whether the white-haired girl's obedience was real or just an act.

But thinking about the rumors she had heard about this junior schoolmate in the past two days, the senior schoolmate reached out and tried to rub the junior schoolmate's little white hair.

Jiang Yunu let senior sister rub it.

"Ah." The senior, noticing how nice her junior's hair felt, sighed. "Who's spreading rumors about you? One moment they say you're incredibly arrogant, the next they say you're incredibly vicious."

The school girl is obviously very easy to rub!

After catching up with Jiang Yunu's last self-selected spot in the second round, the senior sister who successfully made the invitation left with satisfaction, and with a good feeling that she had voted down all the negative rumors about the junior sister.

Jiang Yunu wasn't quite sure what kind of rumors were circulating about her in school, but she didn't really care about such things.

How could a powerful person who emerged quickly not have a few rumors and gossips on his back? Jiang Yunu had seen this kind of thing as early as when he was at the Enge Primary School for Supernatural Powers.

Not to mention that we are now in the second largest district, and the students in the upper third district generally come from better-off families.

Jiang Yunu is currently only focused on one thing - her match with Song Yang.

Amidst Song Yang's eager anticipation, the self-selection opponent stage of the second round of the "Challenge Cup" school competition ended, and then three days later, the battle stage officially began.

Jiang Yunu is finally going to have a real fight with this active and fanatical opponent.
