Chapter 107: Lady Luck Once Again Favored Team Moss

The audience was shocked when Team Moss defeated Team Ice, but it also caused a wave of heated discussions.

“Wow, that’s great. Team Moss won their first team battle! They’re too amazing!”

“What’s so amazing about that? Team Ice is only a second-rate team!”

“It’s already pretty good that Team Moss could beat a second-rate team. Besides Moss and Alan, the rest of the team didn’t have much of a highlight in the individual Player Kill competition.”

“That’s right. Lady Luck has favored Team Moss yet again. Otherwise, Team Ice wouldn’t be so muddle-headed to fall into Team Moss’s trap.”

“That’s true, now that you’ve mentioned it. Team Moss had a tough time winning the battle even when Team Ice inhaled the alchemist’s paralyzing gas.”

“Team Moss won’t be so lucky in the next round. Number Six High’s team is among the top five ranking teams.”

“The other team’s match was amazing too. I would say they defeated their opponents effortlessly. It was a quick match.”

“Team Moss’s reign will stop at the top sixteen.”

Most audience members thought Team Moss only won against Team Ice due to luck. They also believed the next match would be Team Moss’s final match in the team Player Kill competition.

But unbeknownst to the audience was that Number Two High’s alliance attached great importance to the battle between Team Moss and Team Ice.

Before the team Player Kill competition began, Number Two High’s alliance had taken Team Ice’s characteristics and provided them with suitable equipment with high attribute properties.

In addition, Number Ten High’s director, Fabian, hired professionals to conduct special training for Team Ice, which he supervised personally.

Moreover, to deceive the public, Team Ice had even remade their competition attire so that no one could see how much their abilities improved in such a short time. They did that to catch Team Moss off guard.

Number Two High’s alliance had put in a lot of effort to win that match, but the audience still thought Team Moss had defeated Team Ice, who had not performed well in the team Mystic Realm competition.

…

Number Three High’s alliance felt puzzled yet amused when they saw that Team Ice had lost.

“Team Ice performed terribly, Big Brother. They lost even though they had the upper hand.”

“It looks like there was nothing special about Team Ice.”

“Number Two High’s alliance is nothing to us. They’re cooperating with quite a few schools, yet their standards are low. There’s a massive difference between Number Two and Ten High’s strengths.”

The core members of Number Three High’s alliance found it funny because they felt that the teams in Number Two High’s alliance were nothing spectacular. They couldn’t seize such an excellent opportunity to take Team Moss down.

But at the same time, they were puzzled because Number Two High’s alliance was rich in resources. The core members of Number Three High’s alliance wondered why Number Two High’s alliance didn’t arm Team Ice with better equipment to get rid of Team Moss.

“Big Brother, is Fabian’s position in Number Two High’s alliance low? They possessed many resources but couldn’t even spare some for Team Ice?”

“Yeah, Number Two High’s alliance even allied with us in the individual Player Kill competition to keep Moss out of the top sixteen. It’s puzzling that they’ve changed their strategy.”

“Are they afraid of us? Even if they won before, they would still encounter our other team. Do they want to give up fighting in this segment because they know they will lose sooner or later?”

“Hmph, it’s also likely that Number Two High’s alliance had equipped Team Ice with equipment, but since Team Ice’s levels are limited, they couldn’t use the high-level equipment adequately.”

“We’ll show Number Two High’s alliance our true strength in the upcoming match. We’ll show them how we subdue Team Moss.”

Snow dared not say anything, but when he heard the other core members of Number Three High’s alliance conversation, he rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he was wise enough to join the Third High School Alliance. Otherwise, he would regret it right now.

…

Meanwhile, in the VIP viewing area, the core members of Number Two High’s alliance were shocked when Team Moss defeated Team Ice.

Taylor would have already slammed the table and cursed if they weren’t in the VIP viewing area. He glared at Fabian. His lips trembled slightly and furrowed his eyebrows as he said lowly, “I want you to explain yourself later, Fabian.”

Number Four High’s director, Boyd, saw that Taylor was angry, so he followed up, “Fabian made meticulous preparations for this battle, Taylor. He even hired someone to conduct special training with Team Ice. Fabian hasn’t had much time to rest these past two days since he paid close attention to Team Ice’s special training.”

“That’s right, Taylor. We’ve also actively cooperated with Fabian and outfitted Team Ice with proper equipment,” Number Five High’s director, Corwin, also helped defend Fabian.

Taylor knew how hard Fabian had worked to prepare Team Ice for their battle with Team Moss. Although Fabian was not good at communicating, he was very calculating. He must have thought of several outcomes regarding this challenging task.

“Then how did Team Ice still lose?” Taylor’s tone became gentler, but his expression remained solemn.

“The start of the battle went a little too smoothly, so Team Ice fell into their opponent’s trap after chasing them around. Perhaps Team Ice was a little too excited.” Although Number Seven High’s director, Wilfrid, didn’t quite understand why Team Ice lost, he did his best to analyze the situation as much as possible.

“Maybe Lady Luck took Team Moss’s side today, Taylor. Since Team Moss was escaping, there was some distance between them and Team Ice, so they didn’t feel the effects of Team Ice’s equipment much,” Corwin said in a severe tone as he crossed his arms.

“Okay, no need to explain these things to me anymore. Go and prepare for the afternoon match when you have the time,” Taylor’s face was ashen, and he looked like he was going to eat someone alive.

…

Meanwhile, Weston looked meaningfully at Elroy. He nodded in satisfaction and muttered, “Good job, Elroy. Not only did Moss perform well in the individual Player Kill competition, but he’s also excelling in the team Player Kill competition.”

“The knight’s spirit in that kid is even more commendable!” The Secretary-general, Eli, next to Weston, raised his eyebrows and smiled in agreement.

Then he continued, “President Weston, knights have declined in the recent decades, but it’s still the most extensive group compared to other classes. The National Professional Alliance needs to start considering ways to revive the knights so they can contribute more to humankind’s defense against Magical Beasts.”

Eli noticed Weston looking at him as he spoke. He knew Weston was interested in what he said, so he continued, “Promoting chivalry amongst people will also benefit humankind. We need to highlight the chivalrous spirit Moss is displaying.”

Weston’s eye’s glinted as he patted Eli’s shoulder a few times and nodded in agreement.
