Chapter 73: Stunning Performance, A Stark Contrast

In stark contrast to Moss’s team was the Super Whirlwind team. They occupied half of the screen in the giant stadium. The Super Whirlwind team received the loudest cheers out of every team.

The audience gave warm applause when the Super Whirlwind team killed the Magical Beasts one by one. Since their appearance, they have been a hot topic among the audience.

“The Super Whirlwind team is so cool! Captain Miller’s sword control is so amazing that it’s practically Moss’s nightmare!”

“Yeah, their teamwork is excellent. The Grand Mage’s magic suppression is powerful too. They can increase their damage range and also cast illusions!”

“That Holy Alchemist is awesome. He replenishes Captain Miller’s mana in time and can also use some strange potions!”

“Don’t forget about the Great Swordsman and Crossbow Master. They’re competent too. Their long and close-range attacks are simply unassailable. The Super Whirlwind team’s tactics and coordination will be unbeatable in the player versus player matches.”

The audience members who witnessed the Super Whirlwind team’s performance were deeply impressed. They were even more convinced that they could win the entire competition.

Although there weren’t any thunderous cheers from the audience, the atmosphere in the giant arena was still warm and lively.

Number Two High’s director watched the Super Whirlwind team’s performance calmly as if everything was under control. He was like the main character in the guest seats at that moment.

“It looks like you’ve been hiding your school’s strength and biding your time all these years, Taylor. I truly admire you.” Number Six High’s director gave Taylor, Number Two High’s director, a thumbs up and a fake smile. But in his heart, he cursed Taylor 860 times.

Number Six High’s director had been trying to rope in external forces and selfishly strengthened his school. He wanted to catch up with the other schools and become the best in White Deer City.

But when Number Six High’s director saw that his school was second in the lineup, he discovered that he still hadn’t caught up to Taylor. Even though he was jealous, he still admired Taylor’s methods in his heart.

“You’re no slouch yourself, Tang Si. Your other team is pretty solid. I watched their performance in the Mystic Realm just now. It was impressive!”

“You flatter me, Taylor. I look forward to our team’s meeting in the finals,” Tang Si knew that Taylor was just trying to calm the situation and make the conversation more pleasant.

When Number Five High’s director heard this, he revealed a disdainful expression. He whispered to the director of Number Four High, “Second Brother, that man, Tang Si, doesn’t think much of us.”

“Tang Si has been quite ambitious these past few years, Third Brother. He has been doing some shady things. In White Deer City, apart from us, his influence has gradually expanded and became a new force to be reckoned with.”

“I know this too, Second Brother. I just can’t stand his two-faced attitude,” Number Five High’s director sneered lowly as he tilted his lips. He already aimed a gun at Tang Si in his heart.

Most of the directors in the VIP seats were relatively relaxed and happy when they saw their team’s performance. However, the director of White Deer High was one of the few.

As the screens continued to flash, the director was in a slightly better mood when he saw Team Mill. Team Mill’s performance in the two-star Mystic Realm didn’t worry him too much. Although they weren’t making fast progress, their performance was relatively stable.

But when the director occasionally looked at Team Moss, which barely had any screen time, they were being besieged or chased by Magical Beasts.

The director was nervous and couldn’t let go of his anxiety for a long while. Even though the director didn’t have the highest expectations for Moss, his school decided to put Moss on the roster. He also hoped that Team Moss could perform better and not be a joke to others.

The director’s worry for his students, especially at his old age, made one feel pity for him.

But when the directors of Number Two and Three High saw the director of White Deer High, they started to feel comfortable.

“Second Brother, look at that old man from White Deer High. He had this coming. He insisted on choosing a Knight to participate in this competition. Now he has to worry about his students.”

“I thought he had some cunning plans up his sleeves or something and that he would bring along an overpowered Knight. But it turned out to be a joke. I guess he’s also thinking about how he should give up.”

Number Four High’s director looked at White Deer High’s principal and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

…

Meanwhile, in the audience stands where White Deer High’s teachers and students sat, the atmosphere was dim and depressing in contrast to the lively crowd. They had grave expressions as they watched their school’s performance on the screen.

When White Deer High’s students and teachers saw the other schools cheering and shouting for their teams, they became even more depressed, especially when they saw Team Moss being besieged or chased. It was utterly different from Moss’s heroic performance in his first Mystic Realm test.

Miss Aisha was the most anxious of them all. Every time she saw Moss on the screen, her heart tightened. But she knew that there was nothing she could do, so she prayed for moss in her heart, hoping that he could turn the tide.

The Heavens seemed to have heard Miss Aisha’s prayers. When Moss appeared on the screen again, he seemed to have resolved the crisis he faced. Team Moss still did their task and had yet to get eliminated.

But the next time Miss Aisha saw Moss and the others, they were in danger again. Miss Aisha felt a roller coaster of emotions, unable to calm down for a long while.

A voice suddenly broke the silence in White Deer High’s spectating area as Miss Aisha thought about what other difficulties Moss and the others would face.

“Senior Moss has exited the mission area!”

“We’re they eliminated?”

“What nonsense are you spewing? They would’ve teleported out of the bronze door if they got eliminated, just like the teams from Number Nine and Ten High just now. Exiting the mission area means that they have completed the first stage of their mission.”

“He’s right. Team Moss has completed the first stage of its mission. They’re the third team to complete the first stage of their mission, only behind Super Whirlwind and Youth Force.”

Na’er, who sat among the students, saw Moss coming out of the mission area and couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised. A long-lost smile appeared on her face.

In addition, Na’er was also happy because she knew that Miss Aisha wouldn’t have to resign since Moss had succeeded in the first stage of his mission.

Miss Aisha heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Moss had completed the first stage of his mission in the two-star Mystic Realm alongside the crowd favorite, the Super Whirlwind team. She became teary-eyed as she shouted excitedly, “Good job, Moss!”

Miss Aisha’s cheer influenced the students and surrounding White Deer High teachers to applaud. They shouted and rooted for Team Moss to vent their pent-up emotions.

Team Mill exited the mission area a moment later, and White Deer High once again cheered as if they had already won the entire competition. Number Two High’s students and teachers were stunned.
