Chapter 196
Jiang Yunu: "How could this happen!"
Yeah, how could this happen.
Why did she actually get the final ranking in the school competition, and her planned summer vacation trip home seemed to be ruined?
To trace this back, we have to go back to the fourth round of the "Challenge Cup" school competition that just ended.
In the fourth round, players can no longer choose their own opponents, which reduces the operating space for targeted matching. The decision of who will face whom in each battle will be intelligently determined by the official matching system.
Golden Uriel College's "Challenge Cup" on-campus competition started with 257 players. Half of them were eliminated after the first round, and one lucky winner was given a bye by the system, leaving 129 players. After the second round of competition, which resumed after the winter break, these 129 players remained, with 65 remaining.
65 people competed in the third round, and finally only 33 people were left.
These 33 people are the final players competing for the top ten places in the fourth round.
As one of the 33, Jiang Yunu was originally very open-minded and thought it was good to be the last of the 33 people. If she was lucky enough to enter the middle area, it would also be good to be able to get to the "median line".
She had a clear understanding of her own positioning, and her biggest guess was that after the current members of the Golden Uriel school team made it into the top ten, advanced to the district-level competition, and then secured their tickets to the college league again in the district-level competition, she might be recruited as a "reserve student" again - just like when she was in the Eng Primary School for Special Abilities.
Join the school team as a substitute and go to see what the league of advanced supernatural schools is like.
But what's going on?
How did she manage to rank in the top ten in school without any clue of what was going on?
33 people are competing for the top ten. For the sake of fairness, there will be no byes in this round and every player must participate in the competition.
On the first day, Jiang Yunu fought against a senior sister who she was not familiar with, but she was not a stranger to her since they had fought together all the way. The senior sister's eyes lit up when she saw her, and she said that she had long wanted to try to fight against her, a freshman. The two of them "started a peaceful war" - then the senior sister's attack speed was not as fast as Jiang Yunu, and Jiang Yunu found a gap where her attack density was not high enough and her defense was not fast enough to turn around and knock her down.
Jiang Yu Nu won the game with this strategy.
Jiang Yunu's second match was against a senior who was equally "unfamiliar but not unfamiliar." The senior's attitude was a bit more aloof than the younger sister's. He had heard a lot of rumors about Jiang Yunu and was reserved about his true abilities. Before the match, the senior said, "I hope you can let me see for myself whether those rumors are deliberately fabricated and exaggerated, or whether they are actually true."
A girl like Jiang Yunu couldn't stand hearing such provocations about fighting.
Of course she immediately said, “Okay!”
——Then in the following battle, Jiang Yunu and the senior fought hard to see how long the stable output of their supernatural powers could last. In the end, the senior ran out of core energy before her and passively admitted defeat to her.
Jiang Yu Nu won 2 games with this strategy.
The third game she played was against a "non-staff member" of the school team. The opponent was the same age as Senior Sorok, and both were at the age where they could start internships at the Psychic Association. It was unknown whether he would continue to participate in the later college leagues in the next school year.
The "non-staff member" saw that the system had intelligently matched him with Jiang Yunu, and said in a familiar tone, as if entertaining a relative or child, "Is it you?"
Jiang Yunu was even more friendly to those who were friendly to her, and replied with a smile: "Yes, it's me. Are you satisfied with the result of this match?"
The "non-staff member" said, "Satisfied, you quickly knock me off the stage. Then I can use the excuse of 'you're not even as good as a freshman' to convince myself not to consider whether to continue playing in the league this year."
Jiang Yunu said seriously when he heard this, "Senior, you must be responsible for yourself in this matter. You can't just make excuses - and I may not win."
——Then Jiang Yu Nu, who had said “I might not win”, won just like that.
When they won this match, the white-haired girl on the fighting stage could not hide her doubts. She peeked at the senior who had fallen off the fighting stage.
The "non-staff member" senior said, "Xiao Jiang, stop it. Put away your expression and those thoughts in your head about whether she was faking a loss to completely get out of the league."
"..." Jiang Yunu paused, then calmly denied it, "Huh? I didn't think so."
The "non-staff member" senior said, "Your instantaneous maximum burst damage is higher than mine. It broke the shield I created by concentrating my maximum energy in a single burst. You truly defeated me."
Jiang Yu Nu won three games with this strategy.
After getting 3 wins, Jiang Yunu looked up and found that he had entered the top ten.
Her last remaining battle is to compete with the seeded players of the previous years' "Challenge Cup" school competition for a front row seat.
She faced off against Sorok.
When Sorok's name appeared on her matching panel, Jiang Yunu stared at the matching results that popped up on the system panel for three seconds. She then looked up and looked forward, staring at Sorok who was also checking the results for three seconds.
Obviously, Sorok, the former captain of the school team, accepted the matching result more quickly.
"Are you surprised that I'm your opponent in the final match?" Sorok asked in a good-tempered manner.
Jiang Yunu was distracted for a second and saw the "acting captain" of the Enge School team at that time.
Maybe she is likely to meet a captain in her life who has a good temper and is good at considering the overall situation.
The white-haired girl didn't answer the question directly. She just stared at the person she might call "Captain" in the future, and asked with confusion and melancholy, "How did I get here?"
"Um?"
Sorok didn't understand Jiang Yunu's melancholy at first, and he didn't understand what this sentence meant.
I waited until the battle was over and the winner was decided, then I heard the white-haired girl ask quietly, "Actually, whether I win or lose this time, I can't go home for the summer vacation, right?"
"..." Good man Sorok combined the previous text and understood this sentence again, then he realized that some people might want to go home for summer vacation more than advancing to the district competition.
After figuring out the thoughts of the potential first-year students, Solok, who was about to leave school, couldn't help but laugh.
"Then why didn't you deliberately let your opponent win in the previous matches for the summer vacation? You could just lose two games and go home."
"That won't work." Jiang Yunu straightened her expression again. She said with a bit of annoyance and self-awareness, "Then I won't be able to get over this psychological barrier. I'll feel like I don't respect my opponent, and I don't respect the battle."
So, at the end of the semester, at the beginning of exam week, Jiang Yunu received a notification of advancement from the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition.
She finished third in the school competition.
After she lost to Sorok, Sorok and another person competed for the top spot.
The senior students of an advanced supernatural school are completely different from the senior students of a primary supernatural school.
In his first year of elementary school, Jiang Yunu might be able to quickly catch up with senior students in theory and basic practice, or even surpass them, thanks to his perception of combat talent and strong learning ability.
However, in advanced schools, senior students no longer just "learn more courses" and "have rich theoretical knowledge". Their advantage lies in experience - especially through a large amount of actual combat accumulation, which can be integrated into daily combat methods and cultivate combat intuitive instincts.
The battle between Jiang Yunu and Sorok was a bit like a battle between the new generation's "innate intuition" and the "experience intuition" cultivated by practice.
Jiang Yunu is still very young and has very little practical experience. She loses to Sorok, but Sorok appreciates her more.
The former captain of the Golden Uriel Academy team said, "Once you accumulate more experience and gain more practical experience, you might see a huge improvement."
But what will Jiang Yunu, already a "potential newcomer" and "the most eye-catching newcomer," look like after his dramatic improvement? The thought seems both exciting and a bit puzzling.
And everyone on the Golden Uriel school team, led by Sorok, was undoubtedly looking forward to witnessing this ascension.
Jiang Yunu will stay in the second district during the summer vacation, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will not be able to return to the seventh district.
On the first day she received the news, after finishing the first two exams of the final week, she immediately took time out in the evening to call to report her itinerary.
The signal spanned several star regions and first reached the small building No. 78 on the dilapidated street in Chat City.
"I don't have any summer vacation anymore!" Jiang Yunu made a sad voice the first second the phone was connected.
It was the first time that Pei Ya heard her make such a sound, and it scared the usually calm Pei Ya.
When Jiang Yunu made the call, she was in the dormitory common hall. She and Pei Ya had just returned from the cafeteria and were walking on their way to their respective dormitories.
Pei Ya couldn't help but look at her sad good friend with a very fresh eye. She also felt that when Jiang Yunu made this call, her good friend's temperament changed subtly - as if she had changed from a "tough guy" who could rank among the top three in the school as a freshman to a puppy who yelled "verver" while talking on the phone to her family.
Because Jiang Yunu had to make a phone call, he could only wave goodbye to Pei Ya manually. After turning a corner, the two dormitories were no longer in the same direction. Pei Ya went left, while Jiang Yunu went right.
In her headset, she heard Qiao Yisen yelling "verver" even louder than her: "What?! Why! Senior Zhou, Young Master Xie and I have already discussed it and are planning to pick you up at the port of entry on the day you return!"
Jiang Yunu felt even more sad when she thought about how she was about to see these familiar faces, but now she couldn't see them for the time being. She said, "My plans have changed. I accidentally ranked high in the Challenge Cup school competition and now I'm promoted to the district competition."
There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone for a while: "..."
After a while, Joyson's voice, filled with mixed emotions, rang out: "No, this seems to be a good thing, right? Shouldn't we congratulate you?"
