Meanwhile, in Taylor’s office, smoke was still lingering as Fabian sat in a corner with a gloomy expression. Meeks was also sitting in a corner, listening attentively as the core members of Number Two High’s alliance conversed.

Corwin noticed Taylor’s anger, so he quickly coaxed him, “Don’t be angry, Taylor. We at least have two stable zones!”

One of the directors patted his chest confidently and said, “Corwin is right. Team Yonder will do their best tomorrow.”

Although he was unsure who his team could beat, he had the alliance’s support. He only needed to think about how he could give it his all.

“You’d better prioritize the quarterfinals, Wilfrid. It’s not too late to prepare since your team will face Team Mill.” Taylor was aware of Team Yonder’s strength, but he also knew how ambitious Wilfrid was, so he gave Wilfrid some advice.

Then Taylor continued, “Tell everyone about the current situation, Campbell. Everyone should make proper arrangements with the top eight in mind.”

Campbell nodded respectfully and started explaining, “Dear leaders, in Zone A1, Team Moss will face Number Six High’s team, while Team Yonder will face Team Mill.”

“In Zone A2, Number Five High’s second team will battle Team Style, while Number Three High’s second team will face the Crimson Fires.”

“Meanwhile, in Zone B1, the Mighty Winds will fight Number Eleven High, and the Youth Forces will face Number Two High’s second team.”

“Finally, in Zone B2, the Super Whirlwinds will face off against Number Six High’s second team, while Number Twelve High’s Team Dynamic battles Number Nine High’s Team Yearning.”

“Considering the current state of the matches, Zone A1 and 2 are firmly under our control. If Team Dynamic from Zone B2 can beat Team Yearning, Zone B2 will be ours.”

“The Mighty Winds are not a big deal for now, and if nothing goes wrong in the quarterfinals. We will meet the Youth Forces, Number Three High’s best team. Number Six High’s team is no match for us.”

After Campbell explained the situation of the top 16 teams, he stood behind Taylor respectfully and waited for Taylor’s follow-up instructions.

“Meeks, I will match you with resources and equipment. Do you have the confidence to take down Team Yearning from Number Nine High?” Taylor said coldly and shot a sharp gaze at Meeks.

Meeks suddenly heard Taylor call out to him. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly promised, “I will not fail my mission, Taylor!”

“Okay, whether or not the Super Whirlwinds make it to the semifinals depends on you,” Taylor said.

“We will actively cooperate with Meeks, Taylor. We want to catch Number Three High’s alliance off guard!”

“We should strive to claim Zone A1 and B2. Number Four and Seven High should perform well in their upcoming match.”

“Don’t be careless, Wilfrid. Team Mill is formidable.”

Wilfrid nodded solemnly, but he did not take Team Mill seriously. He thought he needn’t be afraid because White Deer High’s first team, Team Mill, was nothing, mainly because he had the alliance’s help.

“Victory is upon us, brethren. We will make it to the finals if we can secure at least six spots in the top eight of the team Player Kill competition. Everyone here already has a solid foundation!”

“All right, let’s call it a day. Time is of the essence, so everyone should go and get ready!” Taylor spoke as he swept his sullen gazes across his alliance members.

…

Meanwhile, four Number Three High’s alliance members sat at a conference table. The atmosphere was harmonious.

That was Snow’s first time participating in Number Three High’s alliance conference. He appeared somewhat reserved as he sat upright on the sofa. He swept his gaze across the core members of the alliance.

“Although only six of our teams have entered the top sixteen this time, we still have a chance to claim two spots in the top four,” Number Six High’s director, Maddox, shared his thoughts.

“Our chances are slim in Zone A2. Colson’s second team is in that zone. Moreover, fighting against the Crimson Fires in the next match will be tough.”

“The Super Whirlwinds are in Zone B2, so it would be harder to survive that zone. However, Number Nine High will do our best to exhaust the Super Whirlwinds.”

“Things look better in Zone A1 and B1. Since we have Number Eleven High with us now, we will likely secure a spot in the top four in advance. Colson’s second team is in Zone A1, so there’s a chance we can secure a spot in the top four,” Number Nine High’s director, Hal, calmly analyzed the situation while looking at the other three from time to time.

“I also want to make a statement, Colson. Since you all thought highly of me and provided us with so much support, we will defeat the Mighty Winds even if it costs our lives! Please rest assured, my fellow seniors,” Snow noticed Hal mentioning him, so he quickly made a statement.

Snow knew he was a newcomer and needed to do something to prove himself. Moreover, he had been actively preparing for his team’s battle against the Mighty Winds when Hal went to look for him yesterday. Snow wanted to beat the Mighty Winds with strength and determination.

“Excellent, Snow.”

“It’s good that you’re confident, Snow, but you must be extra careful. The Mighty Winds is also one of the top five ranking teams. I suggest launching a surprise attack to catch them off guard. There’s always a risk of showing weakness if you attack in an untimely manner. Always be patient for an opportunity to go on the offense.”

Seeing as Snow had nodded in approval, Number Three High’s Director, Colson, continued, “We must defend the safer zones. We also cannot give up in more disadvantageous zones. Hal was right when he said we should exhaust our opponents if we can’t win.”

“Since the competition is ending, we must carry the spirit of sacrifice. As for Zone A1, I…” Colson suddenly stopped, looking as if he was in profound thought.

Maddox noticed Colson’s concern and asked, “What’s wrong, Colson? Are you worried about the two teams from White Deer High?”

Colson only nodded.

“Don’t worry, Colson. We won’t be like the Number Two High’s alliance. Since Team Ice lost, I’ve arranged for people to analyze the match against Team Moss and do targeted training!”

“At the same time, we’ll also upgrade the other team’s equipment. You just need to sit and wait for the good news!”

“You also won’t have to worry about tomorrow’s match against Team Mill. They’re both stable teams, so there’s almost no possibility of them dropping.”

“Okay, I trust you, Maddox. Since that is the case, I want you all to do your best. A beautiful future awaits us!”
