Chapter 117: The Night Before the Finals!

The students discussed in groups of threes and fives when they saw a banner with the words, “White Deer High has entered the finals of the team Player Kill competition!”

“Senior Moss and the others are the pride and joy of our school!”

“Yeah! How glorious is it that they entered the finals of the team Player Kill competition?”

“It’s tough to stand out from thirty-two teams and enter the finals. Senior Moss is worthy of being my idol!”

It was an honorable thing to have a school representative enter the finals.

Meanwhile, Team Moss, teachers, Na’er, and Elroy sat around the conference table in White Deer High’s conference room. However, the atmosphere in the conference room was solemn compared to the joyful atmosphere throughout the school’s campus.

“Director Elroy, Principal Na’er, I think we can give up on tomorrow’s competition if we want to obtain the Future Star award.”

“Yeah, Team Moss will still place second even if they give up now. That way, each team member will get sixteen points which is an excellent result. We don’t need to fight with the Super Whirlwinds.”

“I second that. We should focus on the individual Player Kill competition. It will be easier to deal with Miller alone compared to his entire team.”

“Also, Voss and Turner can’t participate in the individual Player Kill competition. Moss and Miller are the only ones left. If Moss wins the match against Miller, they will receive forty-eight points each. That way, Moss will claim the Future Star award as long as he maintains his high ranking.”

“The competition has become personal. Us teachers will not have to get involved,” Miss Aisha also expressed her thoughts.

The teachers had varying opinions, but most believed Moss should give up on the team Player competition and focus on the individual Player Kill competition. Only then would Moss have a better chance of claiming the Future Star award.

Although Team Moss didn’t express their opinions, a few nodded as they listened to the surrounding teachers.

Na’er swept her gaze across the teachers and said gently, “Team Moss has surprised us many times. Of course, you have excellent suggestions, and I know you want Moss to claim the future star award. Still, we should listen to our participants’ thoughts.”

Na’er saw the teachers nodding, so she continued, “Since this is an exchange meeting, you can all speak freely. Go ahead, Team Moss.”

Moore noticed that the others wanted to speak but hesitated. Since he was a straightforward person, he took the initiative to speak.

“What the teachers said is reasonable. Captain Moss’s overall strength is more substantial than ours. The support we provide him is tiny compared to how much support the Super Whirlwinds give Miller.”

“Still, it would be best if we give up on the team Player Kill competition so that Moss can claim the Future Star award.”

“You have a point, Moore. Team Moss can choose to forfeit the team Player Kill competition for Moss to claim the Future Star award. Your opinion is valuable to us.” Na’er smiled and couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

“Moss is our captain, and I will do whatever he decides. I have no regrets, seeing as we’ve entered the finals. I should let our captain speak of the specifics.”

That was Alan’s first time speaking on such an occasion, so he was nervous. Then he smiled and looked at Moss with anticipation.

Moss noticed Baylon and Kohler also looking at him with anticipation, so he spoke, “Director Elroy, Principal Na’er, and teachers, I have a straightforward plan. I think we should just fight to the best of our abilities and go out with a bang. I want to showcase our team’s strength.”

“Also, everyone dreams of participating in the annual school professional competition, which is a rare opportunity. I don’t want my team to give up on the chance to show what they can do because of me. I want us to fight with all our might tomorrow!”

Elroy looked at Moss with gratification and nodded his head vigorously. His eyes sparkled as if he saw himself in Moss.

“Well said, Moss! Show the world what White Deer High can do! That is the true essence of the annual school professional competition!”

Na’er took the lead and clapped when she saw Elroy praising Moss. Then the teachers followed suit and gave thunderous applause to Moss and his team.

The applause reignited Team Moss’s fighting spirit, and it became evident they yearned to participate in the upcoming finals.

…

Moss returned to his dormitory and checked if he had everything he needed for the upcoming team Player Kill finals.

Moss recalled Elroy’s words when he looked at the two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword and the agility ring Elroy gave him. He also thought of his recent experiences.

Moss studied his opponents’ information a few times over before the individual Player Kill competition. Through exceptional calculations and adaptability, Moss defeated Deng Lun, who placed fifth on the leaderboards, Pell, who ranked tenth, Mitchell from sixth place, and White, who placed second.

Moss even led his team to victory against the fully equipped Team Ice. Then Team Moss went on to defeat Team Mill, and with Elroy’s agility ring, Moss commanded his team against the Crimson Fires, claiming a spot in the finals.

In addition, Moss’s team coordination grew exponentially. He performed excellently, demonstrating a knight’s chivalrous spirit by protecting his teammates and proving that knights were a mighty class.

Moss’s strength continued to grow. He could exert six-hundred kilograms of force when he reached level twelve. Moss’s stamina, speed, endurance, and other stats also increased by six-folds.

Moss could unleash a Thunderstrike with six thousand kilograms of force and could withstand a twelve-thousand-kilogram attack. He would have no problems fighting against an opponent that was level fifteen.

Meanwhile, the knight class received more praise and respect. More people started to support knights, Moss, and his team.

The annual school professional competition allowed Moss to grow and increase his experience, while the people had a newfound respect for knights.

Moss became increasingly confident in carrying forward the knight’s chivalrous spirit. He recalled what Elroy said to him, “You must carry on the knight’s will. You have a long way to go, but this era needs a chivalrous spirit like you. Continue working hard, and it’ll all be worth it.”

‘I have a long way to go indeed,’ Moss thought.

The upcoming finals were only a bump in a long road. Only by conquering it can Moss bravely embark on a more significant journey. Moss’s eyes shined at that thought. He was determined and confident.

…

The night before the finals was exceptionally long and profound. Those eager to see the results found it tough to sleep.
