Chapter 203
"The Golden Poor got two tickets this year?"
This is a bright and clean lounge. Judging from its interior specifications, it is hard to imagine that it belongs to only a few students. It is a student-only lounge rather than a VIP reception room in a school specifically for entertaining VIPs.
The person who was speaking was sitting on a large sofa with a backrest. The material of the sofa was obviously high-quality, soft yet supportive, allowing the person to cross his legs and look natural and elegant.
The person standing by the window replied: "Yeah."
The person on the sofa didn't mind the other person's short reply, nor did they feel it was perfunctory - because the other person was the type of person who always had an expression that said, "I have nothing to say to you."
The man tutted his mouth slightly. "They're a bit like salted fish, aren't they?"
This is not a question that requires approval, but more like a soliloquy with a judgment already made in mind.
But the person at the window said briefly, "Maybe."
——This is the first district, the exclusive lounge for the Duma Academy team.
The "Challenge Cup" district-level competitions in the upper three districts have all ended. Although the list of participants in the new joint competition of advanced supernatural schools has not yet been announced, just by looking at the final rankings of the district-level competitions in each district, it is possible to infer which schools have qualified for the league.
As we all know, the Golden Uriel Academy in the second largest district is the "gatekeeper" of the senior league. It has not won a single game in three consecutive leagues and is consistently at the bottom of the points table.
But the "golden poor guys" are strangely able to consistently enter the league every two years.
In previous years, there was always a warrior who, with his own strength, forced the Golden Uriel Academy, whose overall team was not strong enough, into the fence of the senior league. Judging from the final rankings of the district competition announced by the second largest district this year, the warriors pulling the Golden Uriel team have become two -
"One is our old acquaintance, Sorok. We participated in the last league together. Let me see. The other one is... who is this?"
The person on the sofa made a questioning sound.
This person is one of the few "friendly" people in the Duma College team: he is not as arrogant as most other team members, nor is he as talkative as their captain unless necessary.
He is always interested in the new faces in each league and enjoys collecting intelligence.
But he felt that this new face, which had earned another ticket to Golden Uriel this year, was a little too new.
"Only in the first grade? Which junior high school in the second district did you attend before? Why haven't I heard of any junior high school sending a seeded player to the Golden Poor?" The "friendly" player from the Duma school team muttered while constantly poking at the screen of his personal terminal.
The person standing by the window was none other than the captain of the Duma College team, the person Jiang Yunu had briefly "reviewed" on the floating screen in the Liaohao City Commercial Center not long ago: Shen Yijing.
Captain Shen said: "No need to check, her primary school is not in the upper third district."
The team member on the sofa stopped and leaned his head from the back of the sofa towards the window.
"Captain, have you checked?" the man said.
Suddenly, the man realized, "You were silent just now. Were you already checking the information of this new face?"
Shen Yijing remained silent, his face still showing no extra expression.
The team member asked again, "Captain, with the addition of a new 'warrior' like Golden Poor, what do you think the chances are that their school's league performance will improve this year?"
The team member's tone was curious, and perhaps a little amusement.
It was a bit of a subconscious feeling that made them not respect Golden Uriel Academy, their league rival, and they felt that having one more newcomer wouldn't make much of a difference in their improvement.
After all, from the perspective of a league-winning team like Duma College, would having one more player who could pull the Golden Uriel team into the league really be of much use? Could one more player reverse the school's three-year losing streak, or even reverse the team's overall lack of explosive power?
Neither seems likely.
Knowing that Shen Yijing was a man of few words, the team member analyzed the current situation in his mind. Then he shook his head and made a preliminary judgment on the Golden Uriel Academy: "In my opinion, they are just salted fish struggling at best. However, having more capable players might make their former captain's fight less hopeless."
This guy had also participated in the league the previous year. Back then, he and Shen Yijing were both freshmen. While the rest of the team either sarcastically or sincerely addressed Shen Yijing as "Team Leader," this classmate had dutifully followed Shen Yijing, calling him "Captain" from the start. He had witnessed the "Golden Goalkeeper Principle" of the Golden Poor School the previous year, marveling at it and remembering their then-captain, Sorok.
"I remember their captain was a nice guy."
The school team is of average strength, but the captain has decent character.
Just relying on his "good character", the player felt that it might be a good thing if Golden Urie Academy was not so crushed this year.
Shen Yijing remained silent. He had not yet officially met this newcomer to the league and was unsure of his strength. He did not like to make prejudiced judgments about his opponents in advance.
but……
Captain Shen clicked on the player's profile on his personal terminal screen again. He stared at the player's registration photo and looked at the white hair of this "newcomer" for a few seconds: "..."
To be honest, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that he seemed to have seen her somewhere.
Captain Shen has two things on his mind:
The first was at the end-of-summer social party last summer, at the Emerald Dome area of the second district, on the connecting bridge of Crystal Night Light Park, where he inexplicably encountered a "water ghost".
The second was that some time earlier, he had organized a simulated holographic battle without superpowers. In the simulated snow scene map of the holographic world, someone said that snowflakes had fallen on his black hair and asked him if the snow on his black hair looked like dandruff blown by the wind.
Shen Yijing still can't forget that metaphor that was not something that a human could come up with.
I also can't forget the feeling of someone suddenly jumping out of the water and grabbing my ankle in the connecting bridge.
"..." He was not sure what the "water ghost" he met in the Crystal Night Light Park looked like. The lighting there was really bad at the time. The area was specially designed with a weak and hazy lighting effect. The tiles at the bottom of the pool had a flowing fluorescent effect, which made it difficult for him to judge the hair color of the "water ghost". His face was immersed in shadows.
But at least he was sure that the girl he met in the snow map also had white hair.
So the question is, white hair is not a common hair color. Excluding the possibility that the girl in the holographic world is using appearance props, is there a probability that these two white hairs are the same one?
Jiang Yunu didn't know that anyone still remembered her casual question in the holographic world.
The district-level competition has finally come to an end, which means that this year's summer vacation has also come to an end.
On the day she walked out of the camp, Jiang Yunu actually felt dazed, as if the last ten days of intensive training and competition had made her spend half her life in the camp.
"Because you haven't stopped for a moment these days." Senior Jin Qing explained to her softly.
The senior student also gave her a bottle of drink that was only available at a small shop outside the camp. In the camp, the food, drinks, and daily nutritional calories that the contestants could consume were all regulated. Ice cream and "happy water" with high sugar content were banned in the camp and were not allowed to be sold in the internal restaurant and self-service vending machines.
Jiang Yunu took a big gulp of "happy water" and felt that her body and taste buds activated by a large amount of sugar were revived together.
"It's alive." Jiang Yunu put his face against the bottle that was still emitting cool steam and sighed with satisfaction.
"You haven't even unscrewed the bottle yet, don't splash the drink on your face."
Pei Ya's voice came from the side. She took away Jiang Yunu's uncovered bottle with great ease and screwed the cap on for someone else.
Pei Ya came to pick up Jiang Yunu from the camp, and then go back to the Aole family property in Liaohao City with Jiang Yunu.
The summer vacation is coming to an end, but it is not really over yet. In the remaining few days, Jiang Yunu does not have time to return to Xiate City, so he simply stays in Pei Ya's house and continues to spend the rest of the summer vacation with Pei Ya.
Jiang Yunu was very grateful to Pei Ya for her support in accommodation and life. She was a diligent summer companion for Ole Miss during the last week of the vacation and was always available.
"This is your last bit of time to relax before the senior league starts in the new school year," Pei Ya said. "Why don't you just think about nothing for a few days and have fun."
Jiang Yunu smiled and replied after hearing this: "Don't scare me in advance. Doesn't the senior league start warming up in mid-October of the year it's held?"
Pei Ya just smiled and said nothing.
When the summer vacation was over and school officially started, Jiang Yunu realized that she was too naive!
In the new semester, she was no longer a freshman. She was promoted to the second grade and became a senior student. Golden Uriel Academy also welcomed a new batch of freshmen.
Miss Nagu still hasn't returned to school in this late summer and early autumn season. She can no longer compete with Jiang Yunu for the title of "the most popular freshman" because the freshmen already have other fresher faces.
But time does not stop for anyone. As soon as Jiang Yunu started school, he immediately received a notice that he had been selected for the school team.
She went to the school team meeting room to report and found that she had been promoted on the spot - she was promoted by Sorok to acting deputy captain.
"I'm playing one last tournament this year," Sorok said. "One reason is that I still want to play, and I decided to give myself another chance. The second reason is that I hope to leave Golden Urie with a new, motivated captain before I completely retire."
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Solok looked directly at Jiang Yunu and said, "Don't worry. I'll give you the title of acting deputy captain. We all trust you."
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Jiang Yunu looked around and found that none of the senior members of the school team had any intention of objecting. She took a deep breath.
"I've been prepared for a long time, knowing that I should repay the guidance and care given by my seniors during the intramural competition," Jiang Yunu said, "...but is this really possible?"
Acting deputy captain, is she going to be one?
ah?
