The first match of the intense semi-finals ended, but the discussions about it became even more intense.

The gamblers outside 008 Gambling Ring discussed the match with great interest.

“Did you watch the match, Wright?” A young man wearing a black top hat asked incoherently.

“Yes, I did. Although I didn’t go to the stadium, I wouldn’t miss such an exciting match,” Wright said, still wanting more. It was easy to see what he was worried about from his face.

‘What do you think of today’s match?”

“It was intense and beyond my imagination. The Youth Forces’ performance in the semi-finals was a step up from the previous segment. Even so, the Super Whirlwinds quickly defeated them”

“Miller used three flying swords. His improvement is terrifying compared to before,” Wright was worried. He got lost in thought as he thought of Moss’s upcoming matches.

The young man in the black top hat noticed Wright’s silence, so he continued with interest, “Yeah, I wonder why Voss got injured after he dodged two flying swords. Then I heard from the commentator that a third sword had pierced Voss. I guess he can’t participate in the other matches now.”

Meanwhile, Mobley saw Wright and took the initiative to join the conversation. “Hello, Wright and Blake. I came over for a chat since I was interested in what you guys said. I-I wasn’t eavesdropping or anything.”

“What are you saying, Mr. Mobley? It was just a coincidence that you heard us.” Blake hurriedly waved his hand and continued smilingly, “I want to hear your opinion on today’s match since you’re the expert around here.”

“The first match set the tone for the rest of the semi-finals. It’s about time we forget about the conclusion. Miller is too strong. A swordmaster who has risen to such levels is terrifying,” Mobley explained.

“Are you saying Miller has leveled up, Mr. Mobley?”

“Not only Miller but Voss too. Their strength has increased exponentially. That’s why Voss’s lightning strike expanded while Miller could use three swords.”

“Were they hiding their true strength before this?” Blake asked, full of doubt.

“That can’t be. If Voss hid his strength, he would reduce his lightning strike’s effect, not its range. That’s how the lightning strike works.”

“Even with such strength, Miller quickly dispatched Voss. That’s truly terrifying, Mr. Mobley.”

“That’s why I am more optimistic about Miller. Miller’s victory is inevitable with his super strength and Number Two High’s alliance support. Also, one can catch up with Miller, but the odds are low,” Mobley was prideful when he said that. He had placed a large bet on Miller before the gambling rings adjusted the odds.

…

Meanwhile, Colson summoned everyone for a meeting in Number Three High’s conference room. During that time, he was rushing back from the hospital where Voss was.

The conference room was almost dead silent as the teachers whispered to each other about today’s match.

“How did Voss lose so suddenly?”

“We shouldn’t be here. I thought the Youth Forces would win when I saw how the match started. I never expected us to lose!”

“It is indeed hard to believe. Why do I feel like Miller has improved too much? His strength is terrifying!”

“Other than self-leveling, Miller could have used pills and equipment to boost his strength for a short while.”

“I think I saw Miller’s eyes turning red during the match. Was it my imagination?”

“I think I saw it too. If this is true, did Miller…”

…

Creak!

The conference room door opened as Colson entered with a livid expression. The teachers fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense.

Colson saw the teachers huddled in their chairs, so he suppressed his anger and said, “It is evident that you all witnessed today’s match. Nonetheless, I think there was something fishy about it! I told you all to come here so we can find out what happened.”

“I will admit we lost if we can’t find out what happened. But I will not let it go if Number Two High cheated!”

…

The organizing committee immediately released a statement on their official website concerning Voss’s injury, “Voss is unable to continue participating because of his shattered right shoulder blade. It will take him at least three months to recover.”

“Through communication with him and Number Three High, Voss and the Youth Forces will cease participating in the remainder of the competition. We are deeply sorry for Voss’s and the Youth Forces’ absence. Meanwhile, we sincerely wish Voss a speedy recovery.”

The media instantly exploded when the organizing committee released its statement. The team Player Kill competition occupied almost every news headline and front page.

National Hot News:

“Youth Forces are out of commission and will cease participating in the competition!”

“The Super Whirlwinds’ terrifying strength!”

“Will the Super Whirlwinds win it all?”

…

Professional Alliance Network:

“Is there a limit to the Super Whirlwinds’ power?!”

“Can Team Moss create more miracles?!”

…

The netizens exploded in heated discussions when they saw the media’s report.

“The Super Whirlwinds are unstoppable! Miller will claim the Future Star award!”

“I vote for the Super Whirlwinds!”

“I vote for Miller to win the Future Star award!”

“Can Team Moss surprise us again?!”

“I will stream myself eating sh*t while standing on my head if Team Moss wins the championship!”

“Hahaha, I agree. I will stream myself washing my hair while standing on my head!”

“Class is important, and knights have done well enough. They cannot compare to a swordmaster!”

“The Youth Forces are strong, but they couldn’t stop the Super Whirlwinds. Forget about Team Moss. They’re like ants to a boot. Let’s not waste time talking about them and sleep.”

…

The netizens were almost biased toward the Super Whirlwinds. Most believed the Super Whirlwinds would win the annual school professional competition, while Miller claimed the Future Star award.
