159 – Eliminate (3)

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was a ripple in the eyes of the students who were waiting for their turn without doubting victory.

Even those who watched from a distance thought Kang Seok-ho’s surprise attack and judgment were correct. but got stuck That too perfectly.

They hardened their faces as they looked at Kang Seok-ho, who was receiving intensive healing from the priests waiting under the stage.

‘Does he have other thoughts?’

Yoon Isul, who was watching everything from behind, thought while looking sideways at Baek Ha-na, who was glaring at the back of the heads of the hardened students with a cool gaze.

‘I was going to say something, but for now, it seems like it’s better to stay still.’

Because the same strategy was used from the start, the opponent seemed to have figured out the number of goals of this side and formulated a new strategy accordingly.

If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to completely block Kang Seok-ho’s unreasonable attack as if I had been waiting for it. Well, I didn’t have the feeling of being too blatant about it, though.

“Min Ah-yeong.”

Cheon Ji-ho, who came out for control in place of Kang Han-na, who collapsed out of his mind, called the next turn.

“Yes!!”

A freshman with short bobbed hair stood up from his seat.

Cheon Ji-ho pondered for a moment before approaching Min-a-young and patting her on the shoulder.

“A moderate amount of tension is important, but it’s not good to be too tense and stiff.”

“… … Yes!!”

Min Ah-yeong’s shoulders, which were rigidly stiff, sank a little.

“great. As much as it is a confrontation, winning or losing is important, but think of seeing the results of your efforts so far.”

“All right!!”

After Min Ah-yeong patted my cheek lightly, I ran towards the stage where Jayden was waiting.

‘Okay… … .’

After one more game, there will be a break.

In other words, it meant that one more student still had to go on stage.

He wanted to say a few words for that one person, but Cheon Ji-ho did not open his lips. It was because the highest-ranking officer sent him here and instructed him not to give any advice.

‘… It looks like I’ll be stuck on the floor like Professor Jayden sooner or later.’

As the students continued to win, they forgot their titles and applauded like an idiot. What would have happened if he had come to his senses and warned the students after the second game?

The strategy would have been revealed sooner or later, but at least Kang Seok-ho would not have been defeated and the first set would have been a pleasant victory.

Cheon Ji-ho smiled bitterly as he scratched his head with his one remaining arm.

‘I used the same technique seven times in a row, not once, but not knowing is an idiot.’

A match called the final, in effect.

Originally, it was normal to be impatient with the fact that there was no such thing as a strategy, but Cheonjiho was not greatly agitated.

Thirty academies participated in the round of 32 matches.

15 teams advance to the round of 16.

Originally, it is correct that one team should advance to the round of 8 with a bye win, but in the festival, the teams that lost in the round of 32 play against each other and send the surviving team back to the round of 16 to match the numbers.

‘Even if we lose here, we still have one more chance… … .’

Chun Ji-ho was convinced by the cool gaze he felt from behind.

Among the 30 kings, their king is by far the best.

**

[The first set ended with First Academy taking the final victory. ]

[The score is 37 to 18, with Arena Academy ahead, but there are still 2nd and 3rd sets left, so you must never let go of your tension. ]

[Yes, it is as you said. You never know when the score will be reversed, so don’t miss out on the remaining sets 2 and 3! See you again in 30 minutes. ]

After the closing broadcast, the audience seats became busy.

“… … .”

“… … .”

And the players’ waiting room where heavy silence fell.

Hana Baek was very nervous and left behind the seniors who couldn’t even make eye contact with herself for a while and opened her mouth to her classmates who played the first set.

“Good job everyone.”

It was an innocent greeting without the slightest sarcasm, but neither the winner nor the loser could respond properly.

In particular, the faces of Kang Seok-ho, who experienced defeat, and the male student who played the last game were dark.

“Put your face on. You can come back and pay it back.”

“what… … That’s right.”

Kang Seok-ho answered in a weak voice.

Awful—!!

“What?!”

At the same time, Kang Seok-ho jumped up with a crackling sound.

Na Joo-hee, her eyes lifted like a viper, slapped Kang Seok-ho on the back with her magically enchanted palm.

“What are you doing?!”

Perhaps it was really painful, Kang Seok-ho cried out to Na Joo-hee with tears in his eyes.

“Don’t act like someone who only lost once and will soon die. In the first place, I didn’t get along well with you, and when it comes to faults, it’s more the fault of those who rushed in without thinking than you.”

“… … .”

Kang Seok-ho looked at Na Joo-hee with slightly surprised eyes.

After the grade evaluation, the relationship has been neglected, and recently, it’s been almost like a stranger. But I hope you can comfort me.

“If you know, cheer up and figure out how to win. Okay?”

“… … If we fight again, we will definitely win.”

“Hey, just lose. That’s when it’s really over.”

Only after confirming that her face was brighter than a moment ago, Na Joo-hee snorted and returned to Baek Ha-na’s side.

“Sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

Na Joo-hee slightly lowered her head, and Baek Ha-na responded in a soft voice.

“Thank you… .”

“… … ?”

Baek Ha-na tilted her head for a moment at Na Joo-hee’s behavior, which suddenly lowered her head and quickly ran away.

However, he soon came to his senses and spoke to the seniors, who had regained their energy a little thanks to Na Joo-hee.

“Even if we lose today, we have one more chance. So, everyone, please don’t be burdened and come to the confrontation.”

“yes… … .”

“I’ll do my best.”

“Fuck, you’re not even a kid, why did you like it so much in the first place?”

“I mean, I’m not obsessed with anything.”

It wasn’t really a big deal, but the fact that they had one more chance left the upperclassmen quickly regaining their energy.

It was because they were also confident that their king would win in the great battle.

“There is a saying to do your best in everything, but I will make an exception this time. Because this is a win. You need a strategy. So I think it would be better to do everything in your power, but hide your trump card.”

“I will.”

“I can’t hide anything, but… I understand.”

“Are we going to have a search battle?”

“Write… … I should have stuck to it rather than breaking the head in the artificial crack.”

The upperclassmen, who had regained their energy before they knew it, began to express their opinions, and the heavy atmosphere in the waiting room became much lighter.

“It is one.”

“yes?”

Baek Hana, who was about to forget the chocolate because she had said everything, turned her head away.

“If you’re aiming for the next confrontation, me and Iseul Yoon. And I think it would be better for Na Joo-hee to abstain. What do you think?”

“Hmm, I don’t think it will mean much since my strength has already been revealed.

“I do not care.”

Iseul Yoon responded positively to Nam Seo-hee’s opinion, and Na Joo-hee nodded, saying she would do it if asked.

“That would be nice, but it would be difficult for the three of us, so no.”

“I’m okay.”

“I’m fine too. Because I’m not someone who really cares about other people’s eyes.”

“We’re going to win anyway, but they say there’s something difficult.”

At the three’s answer, Baek Ha-na blinked in a daze.

“what’s the matter?”

“No, that… … .”

Baek Ha-na scratched her cheek and answered Nam Seo-hee’s question.

“I think everyone forgot… If you lose even once, during vacation Woo… You decided to receive special guidance from Professor Baek Woo-jin.”

““… … !!””

Nam Seo-hee and Na Joo-hee, as well as Yoon I-seul, whose composure was not broken under any circumstances, opened their eyes wide.

At the reaction of the three, Hana Baek tilted her head and asked.

“… Did you really forget?”

The three quickly nodded and opened their mouths.

“I’ll just win.”

“Because my power has been revealed anyway… .”

“… It’s my first appearance, but it’s a little bit of a loss.”

The three changed their attitude very quickly.

“Oh, no!!”

“aaagh!!”

At the same time, Kang Seok-ho suddenly screams and a defeated male student.

It wasn’t just those two.

“Ha, is it one? Can’t we just use our trump card?”

“right! I thought about it, and I thought I could win if I calmly responded.”

“I like the compatibility!!”

The upperclassmen, who immediately noticed that the fire had fallen on their feet, started running wild.

Quaang-!!

“Shut up, you bastards!!”

Kang Han-na, who entered the waiting room by kicking the door, glared at the students with ghostly eyes and growled.

“Quiet rest! quietly!! And Kang Seok-ho and Kim Seung-hyun!!”

“Yes!!”

“Yes, yes!!”

The two screaming people jumped up from their seats.

It was because if I didn’t, I felt as if Kang Han Na’s fist, which was trembling at any moment, would break the top of my head.

“As soon as you return to the hotel, go with me to the underground training room.”

“All right!!”

“Yeah!!”

Kang Han-na’s anger did not subside in the slightest despite their loud answers. No, on the contrary, the valley on his forehead deepened even more.

“And the rest of the pups. Be prepared if you lose too. I’ll roll it like crazy until the round of 16 starts, okay!!”

““Yes—!!””

Koo—!!

Kang Han Na glared at the students with her hatchet eyes, then pulled the door with stronger force than when she entered and left.

“… … .”

“… … .”

students thought.

He said that it would be faster to die from a nearby fist than to spread fire on the back of his foot.

[ ah!! Yun dew!! You seem to be stronger than last year!! Incapacitate the opponent in an instant and win the victory!! ]

[This is really great. But aside from that, I’m really sorry. After Nam Seo-hee, who is a new face, Yoon I-seul also wins and scores points, but the match cannot be overturned. ]

[ That’s right. It is heartbreaking to know that even if Hana Baek, who is a new face like Seohee Nam, wins against Jane Moore, the match cannot be overturned. ]

And the idea became a reality.
