Chapter 195
There is no shame in admitting that you are cared for by others.
On the contrary, it would be weird and a bit twisted to want it all if one is clearly being taken care of but still denies it and claims that all the success is the result of one's own efforts.
Frankly admitting that your achievements are achieved with the help of others can actually help you establish a clearer understanding of your own strengths.
Jiang Yunu also said to Pei Ya, "The fourth round of the Challenge Cup is about to begin. This is also the final round of the campus competition. The seniors probably won't be so supportive of me anymore."
Pei Ya was doing her own thing at the time, and it was unclear whether she was playing games with her glasses or browsing something with the newly upgraded retina screen.
Hearing Jiang Yunu's words, the girl wearing thick glasses paused. She lifted her glasses a little, revealing her single blue eye and looked at Jiang Yunu.
"What do you mean by 'take care of'?" Pei Ya asked.
Jiang Yunu seemed puzzled by Pei Ya's question, but she answered as a matter of course, "Of course, in our previous matches, the seniors tended to treat me more like teaching matches, allowing me to understand their positions within the school team and their specific playing styles. They didn't treat me as a complete opponent, and they all approached me with a more friendly and gentle approach."
Jiang Yunu said all her true thoughts. She was honest and trustworthy.
Even the most obtuse person would come to their senses after the second and third rounds of the school competition: from Senior Jin Qing, to Senior Aoliang, and most recently Senior Ulaina, they were all clearly carefully selected opponents.
Senior Jin Qing is in charge of vanguard reconnaissance in the school team. Not only did she explore Jiang Yunuo's potential strength on behalf of the entire Golden Uriel Academy team, she also demonstrated by herself, telling Jiang Yunuo what functions "vanguard reconnaissance" generally has in a superpower combat team, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of combat personnel in this position.
Later, seniors Aoliang and Ulaina followed the same model.
——Teach concepts first, then guide practice.
In actual combat, it helped Jiang Yunu to continuously deepen his understanding of the functions of each basic position of the school team and understand the basic ways to deal with personnel in each position.
Vanguard reconnaissance, cleanup and rearguard, all-round assistance.
According to the basic configuration of a highly mobile independent special ability team, as long as the above three functions are present and a "powerful attack" is added, a four-person team can be formed and has the configuration conditions to handle a variety of tasks.
Jiang Yunu had already anticipated this: in the Golden Urie school team, perhaps she had been pre-positioned in the "powerful attack" position.
And she was happy to see it happen.
There is nothing more satisfying than having a guy who loves to fight positioned in the main attacking position.
Jiang Yunu also told Pei Ya about his speculation about the "reserved seat", and Pei Ya readily agreed with her suggestion.
"I think so too." Pei Ya said approvingly.
But Pei Ya objected to another of Jiang Yunu's arguments: "But why do you feel that the seniors on the school team didn't try their best to beat you before?"
Jiang Yunu showed an even more confused expression.
"They can't possibly be trying their best, right? The desire to teach must have interfered with their moves." The white-haired girl said firmly.
Pei Ya reminded her, "During the second round, Senior Aoliang told you after the match that you won that game fairly and he didn't deliberately let you win."
Jiang Yunu said, "I think it might be that the senior was comforting me. He seemed like a respectable person."
Pei Ya wanted to say something else, but Jiang Yunu waved his hands and laughed heartily.
"In order to teach, the seniors played very conservatively at the beginning of each match. They had to leave enough time to explain the concepts and for me to explore the key points on my own," said Jiang Yunu. "If they had abandoned this teaching consideration and guidance, I believe they would have played much better, and I might not have been able to advance all the way to the fourth round!"
The fourth round of the "Challenge Cup" campus competition is not only the final round of the competition, but also a round to determine the campus rankings and who can continue to represent Golden Uriel Academy to participate in the district-level competition held in the summer.
Houde City had officially announced the beginning of summer long before Jiang Yunu and Wulaina fought.
Time flies incredibly fast.
Since the "Challenge Cup" school competition was restarted after the winter vacation, the second and third rounds of competition have been successfully completed. This semester has passed halfway in the blink of an eye, and in less than a month, we will enter the new final month.
The last time Jiang Yunu had a date with Miss Nagu, he was wearing a spring and autumn style sweatshirt and trousers. Recently, when he changed out of his school uniform and put on casual clothes, he has gradually changed into lighter spring and summer clothes.
"If you rank in the fourth round, you will have to stay in the second largest region this summer." Pei Ya said with great respect for reality.
She has already checked the schedule of the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition for Jiang Yunu in advance to determine the specific date and venue for the competition this summer.
The two ultimately didn't discuss the topic of "whether the seniors on the school team hadn't given their all." Pei Ya didn't force Jiang Yunu to approve of her, and Jiang Yunu didn't think this small disagreement was a big deal.
Anyway, when the fourth round of the school competition begins, the school team members who have also advanced to the fourth round of the school competition will naturally prove their strength in this round to determine the ranking!
Jiang Yunu was wearing summer clothes, feeling the rising temperature in the natural wind. She was still happily imagining that she would buy a ticket back to Chat City as soon as the final exams were over.
Summer vacation is not like winter vacation. This time, she can stay at home longer and spend more time with Aunt Daisy. By the way, she can also go to the long-missed Charter City Library with Joyson to prepare for the bridging courses before entering the second grade.
——Maybe she could even get a job with her status as a student at an advanced supernatural school!
Earning star coins by working part-time during the summer vacation sounds like a promising future!
"Should I buy a regional ticket or a direct ticket this time?" Jiang Yunu pulled up two screens to look at tickets in advance, and even pulled Pei Ya to discuss it with her. "Regional tickets are still the most cost-effective, but direct tickets will get me home faster. Plus, if I buy direct tickets, my family can meet me directly at the ship port and play around the port for a while, without having to wait at the starting platform of the circular train."
The white-haired girl was mumbling to herself, and her friend seemed to be tapping the edge of her glasses with her hands while listening, as if she was looking up some information on the screen of the glasses.
Jiang Yunu's subsidy this year was quite generous, enough to afford a direct ticket to the ship.
However, the "direct ticket" still has a small drawback, that is, direct ships do not depart every day, and there are relatively limited cross-regional civilian ships from the second district to the seventh district. Jiang Yunu must board the ship at the flight port on the designated date, otherwise he will miss this rare direct flight.
Should I buy a zone ticket, which offers more flexibility in terms of travel time, or a direct ticket, which offers less flexibility but is faster? Ugh, it's such a tough choice!
This must be a problem that people whose homes and schools live far away from each other have to face every semester!
Suddenly, a heat source approached her side. It was Pei Ya who came over and shared his personal terminal screen with her at a closer distance.
"Here." Pei Ya said.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yunu uttered a questioning monosyllable.
On the screen shared by Pei Ya was a three-dimensional projection of a property, which was reduced to the size of a palm-sized model. One could also automatically touch a local area of the house and zoom in to view the details with one click.
"This is a precautionary place for you to stay during the summer," Pei Ya said. "My property is located in the officially announced city hosting this year's regional tournament."
"?"
Jiang Yunu slowly pushed the man back.
Between praising the Aule family for their wealth and ability to easily spend money on a property as if it were a toy and questioning their decision to stay in the second largest district during the summer vacation, Jiang Yunu chose the latter.
"I don't necessarily have to stay in the second largest district during my summer vacation?" said Jiang Yunu.
She also showed Pei Ya the ticket information on her personal terminal screen.
Pei Ya's eyes only briefly glanced at Jiang Yunu's ticket. She said calmly, "You can tell you didn't hear what I just said. I just said that if you successfully achieve a good ranking in the fourth round, you can stay for the summer vacation."
Jiang Yunu tried again, "...but I'm not sure I can get a ranking?"
For Jiang Yunu, this kind of statement can be considered as a rare "lack of confidence" statement.
But Jiang Yunu swore that she was sincere when she said this.
She felt that although there were not many people in Golden Uriel Academy who focused on supernatural combat, there were still many talented people among the school team members.
And wasn't Golden Uriel Academy also known as the "Senior School League Goalkeeper"? This showed that the school team had consistently secured league spots—for example, Senior Sorok was also a participant in this year's "Challenge Cup."
And has also successfully entered the fourth round.
Jiang Yunu has great confidence in his alumni.
Pei Ya's attitude was noncommittal.
"Anyway, we can prepare this way," Pei Ya said decisively. "My family has vacant properties all over the Second District. If you stay, some facilities at the summer school will be closed for energy conservation, which will be inconvenient. But you'll always have a place to stay between competitions, ensuring basic comfort during your summer vacation."
Jiang Yunu inexplicably sensed a sense of "evil" from Pei Ya's thorough preparations.
She clasped her hands together and bowed to Pei Ya devoutly.
"Pei Ya is the most soft-hearted rich woman in the universe." The white-haired girl said, "But if possible, please bless me to go home for the summer vacation."
Pei Ya asked sharply, "So are you going to slack off in the fourth round and deliberately lose a few games?"
Jiang Yunu immediately said firmly, "I believe that if we let loose in this round of fighting, everyone will definitely be able to defeat me with their own abilities!"
In the blink of an eye, the last month of classes for first-year students ended.
When the final exam came, Jiang Yunu received the notice of advancement to the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
