Chapter 310
310 The Six First-Year Students Went Up!
“Since Captain Bishop has decided, everyone should respect his decision. I hope everyone can understand Captain Bishop’s good intentions.
“Whether or not we can defend our title in this year’s competition depends on you, first-year students. We need you to achieve good results this year,” Sofia’s expression was solemn as she spoke.
Bishop looked at everyone meaningfully and nodded. The team members saw hope, trust, and unparalleled determination in his eyes.
“Good luck!”
“Kyoto will win!”
Bishop and Sofia’s words ignited the team members’ fighting spirit. Everyone’s hearts were filled with an incomparable desire to become this year’s champion. Everyone wanted to do their best to defend Kyoto’s glory.
…
After the discussion, Bishop handed Sofia a list of six newer and four older members.
Sofia took the name list and looked at it. She nodded with certainty and smiled at Bishop. “There won’t be group training tomorrow morning, so organize everyone to watch the matches.
“Speaking of watching the matches, I’ll emphasize it,” Sofia clapped her hands twice to attract everyone’s attention. “When watching the matches, you must not be arrogant and reckless. Simultaneously, learning to think from another person’s perspective would be best.
“What would you do if you were in their shoes? What would you do if you were their opponent? If you observe every match, you’ll learn something.
“On that note, everyone can learn from Moss’s approach. When watching a match, he likes to think from another person’s perspective and will record the participants’ main characteristics, skills, and weaknesses.”
The other team members looked at Moss.
Sofia looked at Moss gratifiedly and continued, “For the more powerful opponents we may encounter in the future, such as Shuimu and Shanghai, he also analyzed their members’ position in the team battle and the amount of contribution they provide.”
“I commend you, Moss. You’ve put in a lot of effort!” Benedict was surprised and praised Moss from the bottom of his heart.
Gavin nudged Moss with his arm and praised, “Not bad, kid! Beautiful work.”
The other team members also cast looks of admiration at Moss.
Sofia could not hide her excitement as her voice rose to a higher pitch, “What’s even more impressive is that Moss even analyzed everyone’s skills, characteristics, the tactics they might use, and our response plan.
In her heart, she was full of praise for Moss. “He’s so talented and hardworking. The heavens will not tolerate him if he doesn’t become a demon.
“Whoa!”

“Awesome!”
The team members spoke words of praise. Simultaneously, they were glad to be on the same team as Moss. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to encounter such a person.
However, some were starting to get a headache. The others did not know what kind of painful experience they would have to go through the next time they fought.
“You’re all too kind. I’m only doing what’s necessary. I’m willing to do anything that will help us win.” Moss’s tone was calm but filled with power.
“Moss’s calmness and steadiness don’t seem like that of a teenager.” However, Sofia liked this about him. Moss was calm, not arrogant, and had the demeanor of a great general. The more she looked at Moss, the more she liked him. She was in awe.
“Miss Sofia. Should I share Moss’s records with everyone so everyone can learn from them?” Bishop asked.
Sofia knew she had lost her composure and quickly continued Bishop’s words, “Ah, I’ll send Moss’s battle records to our group later. Let’s call it a day and have an early rest. We still have matches tomorrow afternoon.”
…
The competition’s second round began the following day. Dongfang University, which was in the A1 half-zone, was as strong as ever. They won their matches with a score of 6:0.
Eastern University was also the only team in Zone A to maintain a winning streak.
Meanwhile, in Kyoto’s lounge, Gavin pointed at the list of participants and said to everyone seriously, ” Eastern Institute’s captain is not on the list for this match. It seems they don’t want others to see their true strength.”
“Their lineup for this match is the same as the first, but they’ve adjusted their order.” Nat placed Eastern Institute’s list of participants from the previous match beside their newer one and continued, “They changed their original two old-three new, new five-old three formations to two old-one new, one old-two new, two new, and one old.”
“Our opponents are even weaker than they were in the first round. It looks like they’re becoming increasingly stable,” Noel mumbled as he held his chin.
“The team competition starts when the top 16 round starts. Only then will Eastern Institute’s strength gradually reveal itself,” Moss paused and continued, “To be precise, we can only witness their true strength during the quarter-finals. There’s a high probability they’ll meet Freemasonry University in the top 8 to 4.
“Before that, the strongest opponent they might encounter is Divine Boat University, which is in the top 20. However, before we meet them, we’ll have to face three Top 10 universities”
…
The other team members only joined the discussion when the topic of their side occurred. Afterward, the topic expanded to Area B. The atmosphere in the lounge was vivacious.
Forty-five minutes later, Sofia looked down at her watch, stood up, and said to everyone, “Everyone has a good point, but I want to say it’s our turn to participate in a while. We’ll discuss it after this round of matches.”
Hearing this, the eleven members stood up and gathered. Bishop gave a few instructions, and finally, everyone shouted in unison, “Victory is ours!”
Chief Judge Jay Jie, who received the list of participants for Kyoto’s second line-up, was shocked. He widened his eyes in disbelief. “Kyoto is something else! They sent six first-year students! It’s unprecedented! Moreover, Bishop is not on the list.”
“Isn’t that interesting?” Locke smiled, and his eyes flashed. It’s the first- and second-year exchange competition. We should have given the first-year students more opportunities to fight to resemble training. Isn’t that the competition’s original intention?”
“It’s just that everyone has been pursuing results and has forgotten this original intention over the past few years. We can reward Kyoto for their actions and encourage other universities to allow more rookies to participate.”
Jay Jie rolled his eyes and replied respectfully, “Professor Locke is right. I’ll take your suggestion back,” as he spoke, he looked at ring one in the arena’s center. “Professor Locke, let’s watch the match first.”
Locke smiled and nodded without saying anything.
…
Many team leaders quickly discovered that Kyoto had sent six rookies to their next matches. Some felt shocked and confused, but most were just there to enjoy the show.
