The next morning was the second elimination match.
Su Xiaoxiao and others went to the martial arts training ground to cheer for Zhao Zixu.
Zhao Zixu was the last one to go on stage.
He had just put the note away when a young man beside him excitedly said, "Byes! I got a bye. I advanced. Hahahaha..."
"No way! How could you get a bye? I'm the one who got a bye!"
"No, no, I got a bye too!"
“Me…me too!”
At that moment, four people stood up and said that they had drawn a bye.
Su Xiaoxiao and others were a little confused. Why were there so many byes?
Before she could figure it out, the voice of the teaching assistant slowly reached her ears.
"There are four byes in the second elimination round. Students who receive a bye will be directly admitted to Class C."
"Class C...Class C?"
Everyone was stunned.
"What? Why is he in Class C and not Class B?"
"Yeah, don't those who draw a bye automatically advance?"
"Those are the rules for the semi-finals, not the elimination rounds. This year's class has two more freshmen than usual. The instructors have discussed it and assigned fifteen students to Class D and Class C respectively. Yesterday afternoon, one person drew a bye and went straight into Class D. Otherwise, how do you think there were only twenty-four people participating in the second elimination round?"
As the assistant coach's voice fell, those who had participated in the first elimination match yesterday nodded.
The assistant coach was right. Starting from yesterday afternoon, the rules for drawing byes have changed.
The man from yesterday was just as happy as these four people today.
But in the end, I was poured a bucket of cold water.
"Congratulations! You are the first group of chosen ones to enter Class C!"
The assistant coach was still smiling, but what he said made the four people who had drawn a bye feel unhappy.
They felt that they were being ridiculed, but since the other party was a teaching assistant, they didn't dare to say anything more and could only leave angrily.
Zhao Zixu watched their backs as they left and patted his chest nervously.
"I was just envious of them for getting a bye. I didn't expect the byes in the knockout rounds to be different from the byes in the semi-finals. Luckily, I didn't get one. I'm still lucky!"
"The promotion rules of Canglong Academy are so cruel!"
Su Xiaoxiao muttered softly and shook her head.
She had a feeling that the final would be even more brutal.
A total of thirteen people passed the semi-finals.
According to the instructors' arrangements, the number of students in Class A will definitely not be more than that in Class B.
The morning game ended very quickly.
Zhao Zixu's strength was not weak, he successfully advanced and was assigned to Class B.
A few people were happy and went to the kitchen to get some more food.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhao, for getting into Class B."
Luye picked up the soup and clinked the bowl with Zhao Zixu.
Zhao Zixu smiled bitterly: "Why congratulate you for getting into Class B? I should be congratulating you for getting into Class A."
"I have a feeling that not all of the thirteen of us who advanced will be able to enter Class A."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and expressed her guess.
Zhao Zixu was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
"Why?"
"Currently, Class C and Class D both have fifteen people, and Class B currently only has ten. Yet, thirteen people have advanced to the finals. Logically, the harder the class, the fewer people will be admitted. However, Class B currently has fewer people than Class A. That doesn't make sense."
Su Xiaoxiao's guess surprised Lu Ye.
"So what you're saying is that the bye rule for the morning will be repeated in the afternoon?"
"Yeah." Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "But this is just my guess. Maybe the rules will change in the afternoon?"
"Oh my god, the rules must be changed. If I get a bye and get eliminated, I'll be so upset!"
Luye put his hands together and prayed.
Su Xiaoxiao's face didn't look good either.
Her goal is the first place reward.
It would be unfair to be eliminated because of a bye.
Mu Yansong didn't say a word the whole time, as if he wasn't worried at all.
However, Zhao Zixu, who was sitting opposite him, looked at them at a loss, not knowing how to comfort them.
But on second thought, the three of them still had a chance, but he was the only one destined to go to Class B.
Isn't he the one who needs comfort the most now? How come he is the one thinking about how to comfort them?
Chen time.
The mentor stood on the stage and looked at the people below.
There were obviously fewer people watching the game in the afternoon than in the previous two days.
Except for Zhao Zixu, all other students who had been divided into classes returned to their rooms to rest.
There were only sixteen people under the ring, including two assistant coaches.
"Next, it's the final match. Just like before, the opponents will be determined by drawing lots. Two people will form a group, and the winners will advance to the final three. The losers will compete in separate classes. The three students who lose in the losing group match will be placed in Class B, and the others will all go to Class A."
"Teacher, there are thirteen of us in total. Is there a bye?"
"Will those who draw a bye also be assigned to Class B?"
"Great question!" The instructor nodded. "This is the finals. How could the rules be the same as the elimination rounds? Those who draw a bye automatically advance. They can choose to forfeit the competition and go directly to Class A. They can also challenge any of the six people in the winning group. If the challenge is successful, they will directly enter the final three."
As the instructor's voice fell, Su Xiaoxiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you are not eliminated directly due to the bye, you will not feel unwilling even if you lose.
After the rules of the game were announced, the assistant coach came forward with the lottery box.
Su Xiaoxiao was the one who got drawn and was the first person to go on stage.
Shikano looked at the number she drew and breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're lucky we haven't been drawn into the same group yet, so we don't have to fight each other."
"If we can make it to the finals, we'll always meet."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and poured a basin of cold water on him.
Luye's mouth drooped and he suddenly looked a little listless.
While the two were talking, Wen Jiuer turned her head and looked at them.
Su Xiaoxiao felt someone's gaze falling on her.
When I looked up, my eyes met Wen Jiuer's.
When she saw Wen Jiuer raise the corner of her mouth, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Wen Jiuer has also entered the finals. You all should be careful. I'm afraid she will play tricks!"
"Given our strength, is there any need to be afraid of her?"
Lu Ye raised his chin slightly, obviously not taking Wen Jiuer seriously.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling uneasy.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, be careful!"
"Alright, alright, since you've said that, I'll be careful. If I ever meet her, I'll do my best to treat her well, hehehe!"
