Chapter 82 - The Opponent Was Really Strong

The following morning, Moss woke up early and went to the field to train. After running five kilometers, he saw a familiar figure approaching.

“Moss, you woke up this early to train?” Alan rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned at Moss.

“You’re up early too. You usually wake up whenever you feel like it when you’re at home!” Moss looked at the sleepy Alan and felt amused. He knew that the physical education teacher had woken Alan up to train.

Since the end of the team Mystic Realm Competition Yesterday, the school decided to let the students who participated in the competition live in the school during the preparation period. The teachers would manage their food, lodging, and training.

“How could I not wake up? Didn’t you see the fierce look on the physical education teacher’s face? I said I’d sleep a little longer, and he almost kicked me. He even punished me and told me I couldn’t have breakfast until I ran for ten kilometers,” Alan complained, saying it with a helpless expression.

Then Alan thought of something, and his demeanor became severe. He said, “I heard that the teachers will give special guidance to each participating student today. What do you think about the opponents in the individual Player Kill competition?”

Moss knew Alan was worried about him when he noticed Alan’s severe expression. He said with a relaxed demeanor, “I already memorized all the physical education teacher’s information before the Mystic Realm competition started.”

“Although the information wasn’t very detailed, I understand their general capabilities. Don’t worry, Alan. I’ve made ample preparations, physically and mentally. I’ll make sure to listen to the guidance teacher later.”

Seeing as Moss was calm, Alan said anxiously, “Deng Lun from the Super Whirlwinds is in your group, Moss. He’s a tough opponent since he’s a Holy Alchemist.”

“That class is a derivative of potion-making since Holy Alchemists have many unique potion formulas. This class is highly sought after by the top families. It’s one of the most popular classes at the moment.”

“Since Deng Lun’s family has a good relationship with the top families, they can depend on them to support him. Deng Lun is a genius and a rising star in a family of Holy Alchemists.”

“I found out that you were in the same group as him yesterday. Deng Lun is proficient with several potions and good at using poison. No one can gain an advantage over him in battle. Moss, maybe…”

“M-Maybe…” Alan didn’t want Moss to give up on the individual Player Kill competition and instead focus on the team Player Kill competition.

Moss knew that Alan was concerned for him after hearing so much information about Deng Lun. He knew that Alan wanted him to give up on facing Deng Lun head-on.

Moss put his arm around Alan’s shoulder and said gratefully, “Thank you, Alan. I know what to do now. All right, let’s go and get something to eat!”

Alan’s eyes widened when he heard the word “eat”. He smacked his forehead and cursed, “Oh no! I forgot that I needed to run! Y-You go ahead and eat, Moss. I have to run for ten kilometers before I can eat. Otherwise, the physical education teacher will eat me alive instead…”

Alan turned and ran toward the track before he could finish speaking.

Moss saw Alan’s chubby figure running away and couldn’t help but laugh.

…

After having breakfast, Moss cleaned himself up before bringing his notebook to the conference room. He just received a notice from his teacher to meet at the conference room number eight at nine o’clock.

Moss arrived at the conference room fifteen minutes early, only to find Na’er and more than ten teachers sitting at the conference table near the window, tidying up the information papers before them.

There were ten nameplates neatly arranged opposite the teachers. Moss found his nameplate and sat down. He looked at the busy teachers across from him, whose eyes were bloodshot, and knew they hadn’t rested the whole night preparing the materials for the participants.

Moss felt the teachers’ hard work and the school’s emphasis on the individual Player Kill competition.

As the other participants walked into the conference room and sat down, Na’er cleared her throat and said, “Time is of the essence, my dear students. I’ve gathered you all here today for the individual Player Kill competition that will start the day after tomorrow.”

“After a night of hard work, the teachers have sorted out the opponents’ information that you may encounter in the individual Player Kill competition. They have also given detailed suggestions and strategies for each stage.”

“In a moment, I will announce the full-time tutor of this competition to all of you. After that, the teachers will have an in-depth exchange of battle preparation plans with all of you for the individual Player Kill competition.”

Na’er solemnly picked up a piece of paper and read it aloud:

“Mill, you will be working with class eight’s teacher, Masha!”

“Bass, your intelligence teacher, Morant!”

“Moss, your teacher will be Miss Aisha from class two!”

“Alan, you will be with the physical education teacher, Mr. Church!”

Then the students and guidance teachers went to their respective seats.

Moss noticed that Miss Aisha had brought along a thick stack of documents, so he took the initiative to help her. “Here, let me help you.”

Miss Aisha smiled at Moss and nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, let’s sit here, Moss.”

When Moss put down the stack of documents, Miss Aisha skillfully pulled out a few documents and placed them before Moss. She said anxiously, “Moss, I need you to read these four documents before moving on.”

Moss nodded as he looked at the nervous Miss Aisha. Without wasting time, Moss buried his head in reading. After flipping through some pages, he was impressed by the documents Miss Aisha handed to him.

The information he saw revealed the opponent’s strength, speed, and other essential information in detail. It also provided accurate descriptions of the classes his opponents awakened, listing the skills they knew and excelled at.”

What impressed Moss even more was that Miss Aisha had written this information while watching the team’s Mystic Realm competition.

When Moss saw the information on Deng Lun, he discovered that his information material was twice as thick as the other three opponents. The description of Deng Lun’s performance in the two-star Mystic Realm was more detailed.

Miss Aisha’s information listed the poison Deng Lun used against the Magical Beasts and what effects they had. She also noted how Deng Lun performed in a team when he made his moves, and how effective he was in battle. Besides that, she also wrote down his weapon and how powerful it was.”

Moss finished his reading and put aside the information. He couldn’t help but feel excited. He looked at Miss Aisha excitedly and said, “I’ve finished reading, Miss Aisha. Thank you so much!”

Seeing Moss like this, Aisha felt even more uncomfortable. Then she finally said something that she had held back for a long while, “M-Moss, you’ve seen Deng Lun before, right? I-If you want to fight him head-on, it might greatly impact the team Player Kill competition later on.”

“Even if you enter the knockout round, the opponents you will encounter in each round are powerful… Y-You…”

“…Will you consider prioritizing the player versus player matches? If you achieve good results there, you will have a chance of getting the Future Star award, even if you don’t get points in the individual player versus player matches.”

Miss Aisha’s voice became increasingly soft as she spoke. Her voice was so soft that even Miss Aisha couldn’t hear herself clearly.
