Chapter 208
There are eight school teams participating in this senior league.
Among them, there are two school teams from the first district, namely Duma College and Diyao College; there are three teams from the second district, in addition to Jiang Yunuo and his Golden Uriel, there are also Kant College and Star Hunter College, which also performed well in the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition; there are also three teams from the third district, including Michel College, which once rejected Jiang Yunuo's application, and two schools, namely Romfei Ability School and Naiza Ability School.
Jiang Yunu already had a preliminary impression of all the universities in the top three districts. It was no longer like before when the names of these schools were mentioned to her, she was completely confused and acted like a blank slate in this regard.
This is all thanks to the extra lessons given to her by the school team members during the preparation period for the competition.
Senior Jin Qing and Senior Sorok are the biggest contributors.
"At least you shouldn't call someone by the wrong name when interacting with them and act completely ignorant of their school," Senior Jin Qing said while tutoring Jiang Yunu. "Only the two schools in District One could convey through their words and actions the attitude of 'I don't know your name, and whether I remember your school name or not is irrelevant.'"
Jiang Yunu didn't have a strong sense of this "college class distinction" at the time. She had only heard about it but had never seen it with her own eyes. But this time in the central square of the league base, she had a brief glimpse of its effectiveness.
Jiang Yunu later found out that the student representative who was cut in line by two "TOP colleges" was from Michel College in the third district.
"Michelle College has been developing well in recent years and is in the first echelon in the third district. There were rumors in the past two years that their comprehensive strength is already catching up with our 'potential Waterloo target in the second district'. Therefore, some students of Michelle College tend to be quite arrogant." Pei Ya is worthy of being the person in charge of gathering intelligence outside the competition field. Jiang Yunu didn't even know when she found out the details of the student she had a brief conversation with.
"The person who spoke to you was the vice-captain of their school team, who happens to be one of the more arrogant students at Michelle College. He recognized our school uniform, but felt that we, the 'golden goalkeeper', didn't need to be too respectful. But things were different when we met Diyao College and Duma College later." Pei Ya sneered at the student who vaguely showed the intention of "fawning on the powerful and looking down on the weak."
Jiang Yunu said, "Then I will try to make him remember during the competition that our school also needs to be respected."
Pei Ya smiled and said, "Okay, I have complete confidence in you."
The Golden Urie school team has arrived at the accommodation area specially arranged for the players.
Although the name of the central station contains the word "station", it seems to give people a feeling of small area, compactness and crampedness, but in fact it is not the case at all.
Passing through the gate in the outer plaza and entering the central platform's construction area, the first thing that comes into view is another garden. As the "forward area" of the construction area, the garden provides a place for athletes to relax during their free time and also serves as a landmark. In the center of the garden stands a stone tablet, upon which floats a miniature three-dimensional model of the construction area, allowing users to view dynamic changes in each area in real time and find specific routes to various locations.
"The entire construction area is a safe zone," said Sorok.
Jiang Yunu didn't understand the meaning of "safe zone" at first. She asked, "Is there any unsafe place in this competition base?"
"The competition arena might not be that safe," Jin Qing replied jokingly, and then the senior student explained, "The 'safe zone' refers to the building area where the upper limit of supernatural power release is strictly controlled. No matter who is here, no one can use a highly lethal supernatural skill. Furthermore, if anyone shows the intention to use an offensive skill, they will be immediately detected by the ubiquitous monitoring equipment."
The building area of the central platform will be the living center for the contestants for the next few months. The security protection here is set to the highest level, and the probability of internal fighting among contestants with superpowers is strictly limited.
"That is to say." Jiang Yunu concluded after listening to the explanation, "The competition committee hopes that we will use all our fighting energy in the competition, but the competition is the competition, and private grudges and fights are not allowed."
Jin Qing said, "That's what I mean."
All basic living facilities were available within the central platform's building area. The main gym, used for off-site training for the athletes, was not located there. Instead, it was moved to another floating platform closest to the central platform, where a large-capacity training facility was constructed. Within the central platform's building area, only a few independent physical training rooms were available, not those involving supernatural powers.
Jiang Yunu is usually most interested in the cafeteria in the living area, followed by the dormitory.
There were eight participating schools, and each school had not only its student athletes but also accompanying staff members. Jiang Yunu had initially expected the dormitories to be either like those he'd seen in the junior league, with each school housing its own independent building, or like the Challenge Cup regional tournament, where all the athletes lived in a single, futuristic, high-tech apartment building.
As a result, the senior league base took a different approach and failed.
——Eight school teams are housed in two apartment buildings, with each team occupying two entire floors of the building.
These two floors include single dormitories for players of each school team, school team meeting rooms, team lounges, team equipment maintenance rooms, etc.
When Jiang Yunu walked into the two-story building dedicated to the Golden Uriel Academy, she was shocked by the existence of a small open kitchen and bar.
"Really?" Jiang Yunu looked around the open kitchen, "Can we still cook in the dormitory?"
"This is probably to prevent someone from staying at the training table too late. The cafeteria will stop serving meals when returning to the construction area, so that the latecomers can have something to eat." Pei Ya and Jiang Yunu visited the kitchen together. She also opened the large refrigerator in the kitchen and took a look to confirm that some popular fast foods that are popular among students have been pre-stored in it.
Jiang Yunu was like a happy mouse that had discovered a new granary. She said happily, "This place is perfect for making my own midnight snacks!"
"Maybe." Pei Ya shrugged slightly and said to her honestly, "If you want to try making your own midnight snacks later, I can only be there to encourage you, because I really know nothing about the kitchen."
Jiang Yunu felt that this was in line with Pei Ya's identity as a hidden rich woman. She smiled and promised that as long as she had the chance, she would definitely take Pei Ya out for a homemade midnight snack.
The apartment building where Golden Uriel Academy is located is Building B.
The first floor of the building was public, and the residential area began on the second floor. Jiang Yunu and his group were assigned to the sixth and seventh floors. Living two floors above them were the Star Hunter Academy from the same district, and below them were Romfey and Naiza from the third district.
As for other schools, including Diyao College, Duma College, Michel College and Kant College, they are naturally all located in Building A, which is separated from Building B by an inner courtyard.
It is said that this allocation result is a random draw of the system.
However, judging from the historical records of Diyao College and Duma College, where every class has lived in Building A, it is hard to say whether this "random assignment" is a hidden decision.
Jiang Yunu is very satisfied with his dormitory building and neighbors.
Each team occupied two floors of their own, and their living quarters were not interconnected, though encounters were possible in the building's elevators. When Jiang Yunuo and the rest of the Golden Uriel team entered the building, they happened to run into the Romfi School team from the third district in the elevator. Romfi's captain was a somewhat gloomy figure, and Jiang Yunuo, the team's newly appointed "diplomat," greeted him as she entered the elevator. The gloomy-looking captain politely responded, and she decided he was a nice guy.
"Romfey's captain wasn't always gloomy." After entering the exclusive floor for the Golden Uriel team, Pei Ya also shared Captain Romfey's personal information with Jiang Yunu. She said, "He was the one who was injured by the players from Duma Academy in the last senior league."
Jiang Yunu was stunned.
"It turned out to be him." She sighed softly and recalled the appearance of Captain Romfei in her mind.
By the time they mentioned Duma Academy, the rest of the team had already received their room numbers and were packing their belongings. Pei Ya was the only one accompanying Jiang Yunu on a tour of the various floors. Seeing the right opportunity, Pei Ya, using the keyword "Duma Academy," brought up a recent incident on the central plaza.
Pei Ya asked again to confirm, "Tell me the truth, do you really not know Shen Yijing from Duma Academy at all?"
Jiang Yunu opened her eyes wide, and she said sincerely, "If I were in the First District... No, if I knew anyone else in the Upper Three Districts, wouldn't you know?"
Pei Ya was the first person to approach Jiang Yunuo after she entered the second district. Her social circle was entirely established under the witness of her.
In other words, Jiang Yunu's social circle in the upper three districts should be transparent to Pei Ya.
Pei Ya seemed to be pleased by Jiang Yunu's words, and the corners of her mouth curled up modestly.
"Okay." Ole Miss said reservedly but happily, "You're right. If you really know someone from District 1, I shouldn't be unaware of it."
Jiang Yunu: "Right?"
Anyway, in Jiang Yunu's opinion, she really didn't know Shen Yijing.
Even Pei Ya's intelligence function was temporarily ineffective, and she couldn't find out why Shen Yijing was staring at her in the square.
The same question also arises in Building A opposite.
The Duma Academy students lived on the top two floors of Building A. Unlike the Golden Uriel team, they were not as casual as the other team members, so there was no possibility for the players to choose their own rooms.
Shen Yijing's room was set up next to the team meeting room. He had chosen his own room in advance, so the room chosen by the captain was used as the center, and the rooms of the others were arranged around the "center" in a certain hierarchical order.
Shen Yijing didn't bring many personal belongings with him. Their luggage had been delivered directly to the dormitory by a dedicated service robot after the combat ship landed. He didn't need to do any sorting himself. After the room number was determined, the luggage was transferred into the room by the service robot, intelligently sorted, and properly taken care of.
"team leader."
The student who had discussed the "new face" with Shen Yijing in the Duma school team lounge knocked on the door of the conference room, then stuck his head in and saw Shen Yijing already inside.
Shen Yijing was using his personal terminal, seemingly processing some kind of document report.
The captain said without looking up: "Speak."
The student slid into the conference room, thought it over, and couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked, "That Huang Jinqiong... ahem, I mean, the new player on the Huang Jin Uriel Academy team, did you know her before?"
Shen Yijing’s hand operating the personal terminal stopped.
The captain raised his head and looked at his team members.
But just when this person was ready to hear a negative answer, he didn't expect that he would hear a rhetorical question.
Shen Yijing said: “What do you think?”
"...I feel like you two are quite unfamiliar with each other." The team member touched his heart and answered truthfully according to his feelings, "—but it doesn't seem like you are completely strangers either."
Shen Yijing said: “Yeah.”
