Everyone thought that Fred would be able to stay smoothly with Wright's mediation, but no one knew who spread the news, which immediately caused an uproar.

Julian and other seniors were not happy with Xiao Qiong and his team getting the qualification for the four-school league, and they had been protesting privately. This time, they finally caught their handle and immediately refused to give in, and they must revoke their qualification.

"It's really disappointing for the college that there's no punishment for something as serious as cheating."

"If it gets out that our Mosca College actually sent cheating students to participate in the four-school league, we'll probably be laughed at by the entire St. Roberto continent. This will be a major blow to the college's reputation!"

"No way, they must have cheated to win before! That's why we can empathize with cheaters."

"That's right! How could a prospective high school student beat a senior? He must have cheated!"

"To be fair, let's check their game process again!"

"Is it just cheating? Is there a more serious problem?"

...

Under this momentum, the college board of directors also took the opportunity to put pressure on President Baker.

After Wright knew the whole story, he regretted it very much: "If I had known earlier, I would have pretended not to see it. Now I have dragged down the entire team..."

Dai Boyu comforted him: "This is not your fault. In that situation, you were just fulfilling your duty as a teacher. The ones who should be ashamed are the ones who spread the matter and made trouble."

Someone said unhappily: "What do you mean, Instructor Dai? Do you think we told the truth? If you want to convict us, you have to provide evidence!"

Naturally, there could be no evidence for such a thing.

Dai Baiyu was not irritated by his attitude and said calmly: "I just want to say a few words. If Teacher Pick doesn't like to hear it, I won't say it."

Pick was immediately choked by his words: "..."

At this time, another teacher came out to smooth things over: "No one wants this to happen. In the final analysis, it was the student named Fred who made the mistake first. The two teachers should not argue over other people's mistakes..."

Some teachers who originally did not speak also came out to help.

"Didn't we already decide to cancel Fred's qualification to participate in the competition? If you, Teacher Wright, hadn't gone to the trouble to ask those students, these things wouldn't have happened now!"

"Yes, a cheating student is basically violating the rules, but so many things have happened because of him."

"If you ask me, this kind of student is morally corrupt. It's not enough to just disqualify him from the competition, he should be expelled directly!"

Wright frowned and said, "If Fred cheated in the school selection, then according to school rules, he should be disqualified or expelled. But in this topography class, we didn't disqualify him if he didn't pass, and his actions didn't infringe on others. I think it's too severe to use such a severe punishment."

Wright Before he could say anything, Dai Boyu could not help but said, "First of all, it is the right of the winner of the school selection to decide the contestants. Teachers can only make suggestions, and it is up to the students to accept or not. This is an iron rule. Moreover, the problem now is no longer with Fred, but with people with ulterior motives who want to use Fred's handle to escalate the matter and completely overturn the result of the school selection. Even if Fred did something wrong, what about the other students' fault?"

"Secondly, I would like to ask all the teachers, did all of you never do anything wrong when you were students?"

Under Dai Boyu's stern gaze, except for a few teachers, everyone else's eyes were a little evasive.

Dai Baiyu raised the corner of his mouth, and the scar on his face moved with it, revealing a strange sneer: "If it is as the teachers say, if you cheat you should be expelled, then naturally you can't be a teacher, then how many people will be left in this room?"

Seeing that several teachers were embarrassed by what Dai Baiyu said, Wright quickly took over the conversation: "Admittedly, Fred was wrong, and he can be punished, but we don't have to completely deny him as a person."

"No one is perfect, let alone a student who made a wrong step and repented. He is not an unforgivable sinner. Isn't it our responsibility as teachers to educate them well? Our actions can affect his life, so please be cautious, teachers."

The teachers were silent.

On the other hand, Xiao Qiong and his team were unable to continue training because of this incident, and everyone was left in the training room bored.

Fred suddenly stood up and walked out.

Seeing this, Eric hurriedly asked, "Fred, where are you going?"

Everyone's eyes were drawn to Fred.

Fred said calmly, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"That's great, I'll go too!" Eric also stood up and put his hand on his neck, "Let's go, together."

Fred said awkwardly, "No, no need."

"It's not like we haven't been to the bathroom together before!" Eric patted his back and urged him, "Let's go, let's go!"

Fred could only say helplessly, "I suddenly don't want to go again."

Eric sighed, "Just tell it straight, do you want to secretly find Mr. Wright and apply to withdraw?"

Fred: "I..."

"Don't lie!" Eric immediately pulled Gu Xingmian, "Xingmian asked me to keep an eye on you before, saying that you would do something stupid. If you lie, he will definitely be able to see it."

Fred looked at Gu Xingmian blankly, "You..."

Gu Xingmian held his forehead. He was really impressed by Eric's big mouth and blurted out everything.

The other students also reacted at this time.

"Fred, what are you doing? Didn't we agree to face it together?"

Fred was full of shame: "This matter was caused by me. I did something wrong, and now I have implicated everyone."

Now he has lost his previous obsession, and his only wish is not to hurt his teammates because of himself.

Afraid that his teammates would worry, he added: "Don't worry, I won't be depressed. I just take responsibility for my own mistakes and let this matter stop here."

Unexpectedly, Song Nanting stopped him: "Don't go, it's useless for you to go."

Fred was stunned.

"This matter is not because of you, but for us, the prospective high school students." Song Nanting said calmly.

Gu Xingmian also said: "Fred, if you take the initiative to apply for withdrawal now, you will fall into their trap. They will say that if you don't feel guilty, why do you take the initiative to withdraw? Then those of us who "protect" you will also be forced to withdraw by them."

The other students were also stunned.

"No... No?"

"It's very likely." Song Nanting smiled, but mercilessly pierced their fantasy.

Fred was frightened, and he hated himself even more for being obsessed with it. As a result, not only did he hurt himself, but also his teammates.

Seeing his painful and self-blaming expression, Gu Xingmian felt a little sorry and said, "Don't think about it. Even if you didn't do this, they would find other reasons to target us."

"That's right." Song Nanting said, "What we have to do now is to do nothing and wait for the decision of Teacher Wright and others."

Principal Buckle pushed open the door of the teacher's office and walked in.

All the teachers stood up: "Principal, what's wrong?"

Principal Buckle sighed tiredly.

Wright's heart sank: "Principal, what did they say?"

Principal Buckle said: "They asked for another competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teachers immediately started discussing.

"Let's compete again. Are you treating the school selection

as a joke?!" "The school selection is chosen in public, and the candidates are honestly selected. According to what they said, are we teachers who were the referees at that time also suspected?"

"But, given the situation now, letting's compete again is the best option."

"I also think we can have another competition. Then the loser won't have anything to say."

The teachers were divided into two factions, each holding his own opinion.

Dai Boyu noticed that there was something wrong with Principal Baker's expression, and asked, "Do they have any excessive demands?"

Principal Baker suppressed his remaining anger and said, "They said that for the sake of fairness, we can't have a 1V1 competition like before, and the winner will go to the Four-School League."

"Ridiculous!"

"What do they think of the school selection and the Four-School League!"

"If the Four-School League was also a 1V1 competition, it would be easy. Strategy and planning are so important. Don't they realize it after they just lost? Sometimes I really wonder if these students have muscles in their brains..."

If the competition was just that simple, would these teachers have to work so hard to design the rules and maps for the school selection?

If they are so capable, why don't they just go outside the defense line to fight the evil spirits? !

As soon as these words came out, all the teachers were furious.

Baker waited until they had vented their anger and calmed down before continuing: "This matter has a great impact. If it is delayed any further, it may become more serious."

Wright frowned: "What do you mean?"

Baker sighed: "Let's go, I will go with you to meet the classmates."

After hearing what Baker said, everyone was also stunned.

"Then...then our results in the school selection will not count?"

"How can this be? We worked so hard to win the school selection at that time..."

Principal Baker was also upset.

The school selection has been held for so many years, and this is the first time to encounter such a thing.

He tried desperately to change the status quo of Mosca Academy, but he didn't expect such a result in the end.

At this moment, Xiao Qiong suddenly said, "Let's compete."

Everyone looked at him in shock.

Xiao Qiong rarely expressed his opinions, and most of the time he just listened silently, so when he suddenly said this, everyone was stunned for a while.

Gu Xingmian was the first to support him: "That's right! Use your strength to shut them up!!"

Last time, he was almost ambushed by Julian, that idiot. If he didn't have skills, he might have died at that time. He didn't have time to seek revenge on him. Now he came to him, just in time!

Eric followed suit and waved his fist: "Yes, if we can win once, we can win the second time!"

Fu Fenglin pondered: "Since our prospective senior students unexpectedly won, the previous rules of the school selection have been broken, affecting the interests of all senior students. This conflict is inevitable unless we beat them to the point of being convinced."

Nina slammed the table: "Afraid of them! A bunch of losers!"

Fred also followed in support.

Seeing that the strongest ones had chosen to fight, the remaining students looked at each other and looked at Song Nanting.

Song Nanting actually agreed with them. They had to fight this battle, but she was not blinded by the passion. She said rationally, "But in a 1v1, we are at a huge disadvantage, especially me. My advantage is not here. Amu is not that good at fighting. If we really have to compete like this, I can only admit defeat."

"The teachers won't let this happen, so the competition mode won't be like what they said. But now there are so many voices outside, and the scope of competition should be very limited. I guess, should it be divided into two games, one 1v1 and one team game?"

Wright was stunned.

If Song Nanting hadn't been in this room, he would have thought that she was beside them when they were discussing just now, and she actually analyzed it exactly.

Principal Baker nodded and said, "That's right, one five-person competition and one team competition, all contestants cannot have the same members."

The last rule was aimed at Song Nanting and his five companions.

Not to mention Nina and Fred, Xiao Qiong was also unreasonably strong, and Eric and Fu Fenglin had a 50-50 winning rate against them. Only their team, when they were selected in the school, if it weren't for Xiao Qiong and his companions dragging the others, plus Song Nanting's schemes and traps, they would never have been able to enter the participating team.

But the opponent already had experience, and they would definitely not give them this opportunity in this team competition.

This was a head-on match.

Principal Baker had something else to do, so he left first, leaving only Teacher Wright and Dai Baiyu to worry about what to do with them.

Although Principal Buckle tried his best, the current situation is still very serious for them.

Song Nanting didn't say anything. She was frantically calculating and deploying troops in her heart. But no matter how she calculated, she couldn't cook without rice. The paper strength was so much worse, and it couldn't be made up by planning. If Xiao Qiong and his team could repeat the competition, it would be fine, but the opponent obviously realized this problem and blocked their way early. The

remaining four students also felt Fred's pain at the time.

They knew that the reason why everyone was so difficult now was because the four of them were too weak. If they were as strong as Xiao Qiong or Nina, this would not happen.

One person gritted his teeth: "I... I'll quit. You can find stronger teammates. I'm too weak. I didn't qualify to participate in the four-school league..."

"I'll quit too. I was able to join the team thanks to Nan Ting. I'm very satisfied with what I've achieved so far!"

"Me too..."

"Shut up!" Song Nan Ting was rarely furious. "We won the school selection fairly. Who says you are not qualified!"

Several people stammered: "But we were just following orders. Others could have done the same..."

Dai Baiyu said in a deep voice: "Don't belittle yourselves. I've seen the process of your competition. Being able to digest so many orders and execute them perfectly is also a very good quality in the army."

Although several people no longer talked about quitting, they were still worried.

Seeing this, Gu Xingmian joked to Fred: "It's all Fred's fault for starting a bad game..."

Fred was startled, but then he reacted and raised his hands in surrender: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

His funny look immediately made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was finally not so cold.

Gu Xingmian then said: "It's not easy for everyone to come this far. If you say so, I still cling to Xiao Qiong's thigh. I am so useless but I didn't quit. What are you two from the bottom and three from the bottom trying to grab?"

Gu Xingmian laughed at himself nonchalantly.

Xiao Qiong, who was thinking about something, couldn't help but raise his head and frowned slightly.

Of course he knew that Gu Xingmian was not a loser, he was actually very strong, but they just didn't know it.

But Gu Xingmian's skills need to be charged for a long time before they can be used once, and he couldn't tell Gu Xingmian that he could see the star pattern. That's why such a misunderstanding occurred.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qiong's already shaky balance completely fell to the other side.

"The four of you come with me to the ring match."

Everyone who was discussing fiercely was stunned.

Eric: "Boss, you are crazy!"

Even the four teammates were dumbfounded.

Song Nanting thought for a moment and said to Xiao Qiong: "Actually, I had this idea before, but this method is too crazy. You will be under great pressure. According to my estimation, you will most likely face three opponents in their prime. You..."

She wanted to say that Gu Xingmian couldn't help him and he had to rely on himself to fight against three card masters who joined forces with the God Card, but she swallowed the words in the end.

"Are you confident?"

Xiao Qiong said seriously: "I should be able to beat two, but by the time of the third, my mental strength may not be able to hold up..."

In the eyes of everyone's worry and doubt, he turned to look at Gu Xingmian.

"So, I need you to help me."

This was simply a groundbreaking statement.

Xiao Qiong actually asked others for help in battle, and the one he asked for help was his almost useless God Card.

But Xiao Qiong's expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be joking.

Only Gu Xingmian understood that he was talking about his skill of moving the star pattern to interfere with the auxiliary card.

He only needed to block the fatal blow for Xiao Qiong at the moment when his mental strength was exhausted, and he could turn the defeat into victory.

Xiao Qiong entrusted his life to him.

But can he do it?

He is a loser in battle, and he is also bleeding. Can he bear such a heavy trust from Xiao Qiong?

Gu Xingmian's heart was in turmoil, but when he saw the determination in Xiao Qiong's eyes, all those hesitations and fears disappeared.

At that moment, he seemed to have a certain tacit understanding with Xiao Qiong.

Xiao Qiong believed that he could do it.

And he believed in Xiao Qiong's judgment.

Gu Xingmian clenched his fists tightly and met Xiao Qiong's gaze: "Okay, I will do it."

Xiao Qiong raised his palms.

This was the high-five posture that Gu Xingmian taught him when he played against Fred before.

Gu Xingmian didn't expect that he still remembered it, and his chest was filled with an indescribable feeling.

He walked forward, and the two of them slapped their palms together, making a crisp sound.

"Don't worry, we will win."
