Chapter 99: Complicated Feelings!

This year’s annual school professional competition attracted more attention than usual. Maybe it was because of the Knight’s appearance which brought a nostalgic element to the competition.

It also opened up a lot of discussions among the people, whether it was Moss being a Knight or his outstanding performance in the competition.

Public opinion outside of the schools was overwhelming, while the participants meticulously prepared for their upcoming matches inside the schools.

Meanwhile, White Deer High’s director sat in the innermost part of a large conference room.

Ten contestants, Na’er, and more than ten teachers were also in the conference room while most of the teachers had relieved and joyous expressions. The director also revealed a rare smile.

Na’er had just finished summarizing the early stages of the competition when everyone applauded. Then she drank a mouthful of water and continued, “Fellow teachers and dear students, White Deer High is delighted with the results you have achieved so far.”

“We are also grateful to all of you for your hard work and dedication. Next up in the annual school professional competition is the more intense quarter-finals. White Deer High certainly hopes the participants can continue winning, but we also want you to stay healthy.”

“We have also received news that the organizing committee protects the top-ranked participants. The individual Player Kill competition will end with the quarter-finals, and the team Player Kill competition will begin straight after.”

“When the team Player Kill competition ends, the semi-finals and finals of the individual Player Kill competition will occur. Therefore, we recommend that the students focus on training while avoiding injuries for the last individual Player Kill competition before the team Player Kill competition. We want you to put all your energy into the team Player Kill competition.”

The teachers and students nodded in unison when they heard this. Seeing as Mill and Moss hadn’t expressed their thoughts, the director echoed Na’er’s words, “Mill and Moss, everyone has recognized your abilities, and we are proud of the results you’ve achieved.”

“However, Number Two and Three High are eyeing us covetously. They’re using every means necessary to win the individual Player Kill competition, but there’s much less space to operate in the team Player Kill competition. That means we have a greater chance at winning the team Player Kill competition.”

“Since you two are team captains, your teams will suffer severely should anything happen to you two. I want you two to carefully think about what you do in the individual Player Kill competition.”

“All right, that should be all for today. Everyone should prepare for the team Player Kill competition as soon as possible. Meeting adjourned!”

The students and teachers left the room shortly after the director finished speaking.

Moss saw Miss Aisha still sitting in her seat, frowning, and revealing a conflicted expression. Moss went to her side and asked, “Miss Aisha, are you all right?”

Miss Aisha collected her thoughts when she heard Moss’s voice. “I-I’m okay, Moss. Oh, right, the competition will resume tomorrow. How are your preparations coming along? You can always come to my office to talk if you need anything.”

Miss Aisha was still worried for Moss, but she didn’t know what to say.

The director and Na’er had said everything they needed to say, so it would be annoying if Miss Aisha repeated their words. She knew that it might even have a negative effect on Moss.

Moreover, Miss Aisha felt that Moss was capable of performing well in the upcoming elimination matches. The only thing she could do now was to help him psychologically.

“Don’t worry, Miss Aisha. I’ve mentally and physically prepared myself for this competition. Also, the information you’ve prepared for me is very detailed. They gave me more confidence when I finished reading them.”

Moss’s eyes were full of determination. He wanted Miss Aisha to notice his conviction so she would be less worried for him.

Miss Aisha looked at Moss profoundly. She saw her young self in him, calm and full of confidence. She felt relieved a moment later.

Then Miss Aisha revealed a sweet smile and looked at Moss with appreciation. She said, “Well, I’m proud to have such an outstanding student like you. Nonetheless, your mentality is crucial in any competition, so it’s better to clear your mind. Don’t practice before the competition and adjust your mentality.”

Moss nodded in agreement. Seeing as Miss Aisha’s expression had improved, Moss felt relieved as he bid farewell to Miss Aisha.

Moss thought of White’s information on his way back to the dormitory. He wanted to find White’s weakness but couldn’t. As a core member of the Super Whirlwinds, White had performed too consistently in the individual Player Kill competition.

The timing of White’s attacks and choice of skills were on the nose, and this time, Number Two High would provide him with additional equipment to ensure White wouldn’t lose.

Therefore, Moss knew that he had to persevere through the first three to six minutes of the match before he could win.

…

Meanwhile, people surrounded a large round table in Number Three High’s conference room. The director organized the teachers to prepare for the quarter-finals between Voss and Mace.

The teachers expressed their opinions one after another. The atmosphere was lively as everyone’s expressions were somber.

“Director, we have already completed our counter-measures to ensure first and second place in the individual Player Kill competition.”

“We can assure our victory in the match between Voss and Mill, but Miller is still a problem for us.”

“What do you think we should do, Director?” The principal asked respectfully.

“We must ensure Voss enters the semifinals, and even though Miller is a headache to deal with, we’re not weak either. We must exhaust Miller as much as possible while ensuring our student doesn’t get badly injured. Doing this will make it easier for us in the team Player Kill competition.”

As the director spoke, he pointed at the equipment department and said, “Bayless, I want you to arm Mace with everything he needs. Even if Mace can’t win, I want to make Miller suffer as much as possible.”

“What a brilliant idea, Director!”

The teachers shouted in unison and gave their director a thumbs up.

…

Meanwhile, smoke lingered in Number Two High’s director’s office while Taylor discussed the upcoming quarter-finals with his allied directors. Campbell stood respectfully beside Taylor with an ashtray in his hand.

“Victory is beckoning our names, Big Brother.”

“From its looks, the other three districts are all under our control—other than one district,” Number Five High’s director said as he leisurely blew a smoke ring.

“The one I’m most worried about is the match between White and Moss. That Moss kid is a strange one,” Taylor said as he flicked his ash into the ashtray.

Number Four High’s director saw through Taylor’s thoughts. Then he spoke of the preparations he had preemptively made, “I know Moss is unpredictable, but you don’t have to worry, Big Brother. I’ve already gathered all the resources our brethren have. I will equip White with the best equipment available.”

Taylor nodded. “That’s good to hear, but you must be careful!”

After that, Taylor instructed Campbell, “Tell White to finish his match as soon as possible. I discovered that Moss is getting increasingly brave in these matches, so White should have a higher chance of winning if he initiates the fight.”

“Yes, Director Taylor,” Campbell answered respectfully and bowed.

The surrounding directors immediately praised Taylor, “You’re wise, Taylor!”
