De Lagar tried everything he could to get a ticket to watch the regional qualifiers live, but he was extremely frustrated and sent a message to Auckland, telling him that they would probably only be able to watch the bad news on the live broadcast.
Oakland curled up on the sofa, looking at Hall's communication number on the computer, struggling whether to call him.
Since De Lagar wanted to see it so badly, should I send him a message to ask about the tickets for the regional qualifiers?
Maybe he has some extra tickets?
Just as he was hesitating, the computer suddenly rang, and the name he had been hesitating about for a long time appeared on the screen.
Auckland was completely stunned. He wondered if he had accidentally pressed the dial button, which was why Hall was sending the call now...
Auckland took a deep breath, suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and connected the call.
"Auckland." Hall's handsome face appeared in front of him on the screen.
"Um……"
"Tomorrow... is the preliminaries for the second zone. I just happen to have a few extra tickets. If you are free, you can go and watch it with your friends." Hall said this nonchalantly, as if to say, 'These tickets are not important. If you don't have time, you don't have to go.'
If Auckland had not learned from De Lagar how hard it was to get tickets for the event, he would probably have been fooled by him.
Auckland suppressed a smile and replied, "Okay, I want to go see it."
"Well, then I'll send the e-voucher to your email."
"OK, thanks."
"Well, good night." After saying that, Hall hung up the phone very quickly.
Auckland opened his mailbox and found three electronic tickets for the regional qualifiers. A smile appeared on his face.
Hall is such a good man.
*******
The next day, De Lagar sent a message early in the morning asking Auckland to come online quickly. After knowing that Auckland had got the live ticket, this guy was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep all night.
Perhaps such a competition is a very rare event for mecha fighters. Auckland could not understand Delagar's inexplicable excitement, he was just simply curious.
When he finished washing up and went online, he found that Delagar and Rachel were already waiting at the entrance of the stadium, eagerly awaiting his arrival.
Auckland couldn't help but laugh. "Doesn't the game start at ten? It's not even nine yet. Why is it so early?"
"What do you know? The contestants should have entered by now. If you go in later, you won't be able to see their pre-battle preparations." Dragal said in a bad tone.
"Yes, pre-war preparations are very valuable for reference." Rachel also stood on Delagar's side.
"Okay, okay, let's go in." Auckland scanned the QR code on the electronic ticket in his hand on the terminal at the entrance, and he was immediately teleported to his seat in the stadium.
Dragal and Rachel followed closely behind him, teleporting into the arena and sitting to his left.
Their seats are very good, quite near the front. Those who can sit here have internal tickets for the contestants and have a better view.
Although you can choose the spectator mode when watching the game in the arena, which allows spectators to get close and watch the mecha battles, that is only when the number of spectators is very small.
Although this competition was also held on StarNet, the simultaneous battles of hundreds of mechas would generate intense energy fluctuations, potentially impacting the audience's mental strength. Therefore, shielding devices were installed around the arena, preventing spectators from viewing from close range. Those seated closer could rely on their own eyes, while those further away could only watch via large LCD screens on either side of the auditorium or by switching to optical screens. However, what's more important than watching the game live is the atmosphere, which is the main reason why tickets are selling so well.
It wasn't long before the arena was packed. The arena was modeled after the Pontiac Arena, the largest arena on the Capital Planet, and similarly featured a large-span structure, accommodating 20,000 spectators. Within just 20 minutes, every seat was already filled.
The competition venue is divided into twenty areas, with two-on-two matches taking place simultaneously. The winners advance to the next round, and so on, until the top twenty are decided and enter the semi-finals.
There are a total of 189 contestants participating in the competition today. This number may seem small, but in fact they are the elite who have passed layers of screening.
To be eligible to participate, you must first have a physical fitness of B level or above, more than two years of experience in driving mechas, and a win rate of more than 60% in Area C of the Arena. Otherwise, you will not even be eligible to register.
Of course, there are also some particularly outstanding talents who can be exempted from one of the conditions that cannot be met if they can obtain a letter of recommendation from an officer at the colonel level or above in the military.
For example, George Campbell, through Irving Percy's connections, obtained a letter of recommendation from General Arnold, which allowed him to qualify for the Rookie Mech Competition. After all, he was only a freshman, and despite his father's huge investment in his training, he still had less than two years of experience in mech piloting.
Hall did not need a letter of recommendation and directly qualified for the competition based on his own strength. The other members of the Silver Wing Team also participated. In the eyes of most people in the know, the top four in this second district regional qualifier can be said to have been determined.
George Campbell was lucky enough, as he chose to participate in the fourth region qualifiers, which happened to avoid Hall and the others. Otherwise, there would have been a good show to watch today. If he had been less lucky, he might have been eliminated as soon as he took the stage.
Soon, the contestants began to enter. More than a hundred people sat in the waiting area. Hall was still the most conspicuous one, and his dark red hair looked very shiny under the light.
Auckland even heard the screams of many girls, and the name "Hall Williams" appeared repeatedly.
"Hey, Senior Hall is truly the idol of our younger generation. Look how popular he is." De Lagar chuckled and winked at Oakland. "With a fiancé like that, you must have saved the galaxy in your past life."
Auckland feels that De Lagar's image has been constantly collapsing. Where has the elegant and gentle nobleman gone?
Regarding his previous life, Auckland could tell him with certainty that he did not save the Milky Way, but he could barely be considered to have saved the world of cultivation, haha.
Oakland, who suddenly laughed out loud, came back to his senses at De Lagar's weird look, put aside his messy thoughts, and sat upright waiting for the game to begin.
"Hello everyone, the regional qualifiers for the second zone of the Rookie Mecha Competition are now beginning! I am the host of this qualifier, Sophia Skron." The host of the competition is a beautiful and elegant woman with a beautiful face and lavender curly hair that hangs slightly on her shoulders, making her skin look even whiter and more delicate.
"Skron?" Auckland always felt that he had heard this surname somewhere.
"Hey, she is Risa's cousin. She is really beautiful, but her mental control ability is too poor, so she is not suitable to be a heraldry master. In the end, she only entered the acting department of the Art Academy." De Lagar was familiar with the Skron family, so he recognized Sophia.
"Don't you have a good relationship with Risa? Why don't you use her connections?" It shouldn't be difficult to get a ticket from the host of the competition, right?
"Hehe... the problem is that Risa doesn't have a very good relationship with her..." Risa's temper is a natural incompatible with Sofia, and Dragal is helpless.
"Please let the players shown on the display board enter!" Sophia's voice rang out.
The list of contestants in the twenty battle zones appeared on the display boards on both sides of the audience seats. Forty people in the contestant area immediately stood up and entered the battle zone along the competition passage.
"Look! Senior Hall is in battle area 18!"
Oakland looked up and saw that the tall figure appeared in the battle zone No. 18. He raised his hand slightly, and a KA-165 mecha appeared in the battle zone.
This advanced mecha, which can only be exchanged for high points in the arena, actually appeared on the field. It undoubtedly proved Hall's powerful combat ability and immediately caused a commotion.
"KA-165... Could it be...?" Dragal thought of the mecha he had encountered in the battle zone not long ago. No wonder he had lost so miserably...
The mecha used by the person opposite Hall was TJ-412, which was from the same series as Rachel's mecha, and the serial number was earlier, which meant it had better performance and was more focused on strength and defense.
But no matter what type of mecha he used or what kind of emblem he used, his opponent was Hall Williams after all. The result could be guessed before the game even started.
