Chapter 104 - Pre

Meanwhile, in the president’s office, the president of the National Professional Alliance chatted with White Deer High’s director smilingly.

The conversation ended, so White Deer High’s director stood up and said with a smile, “Thank you for inviting me here, President. We didn’t do much in the competition. It’s just that Moss is exceptionally ambitious. I shall take my leave now, but please come and visit us when you have the time.”

“You should come over more often too, whenever you’re free. We’ve been in the army, so we have much in common, Director. Please pay attention to your students’ development. It is crucial to share your experiences with other schools.”

“Of course!”

After that, White Deer High’s director got into his car and called Na’er. “Gather all the teachers involved in the annual school professional competition for a meeting, Na’er. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Na’er hesitant tone echoed from the other end of the call, “B-But, it’s almost noon, sir.”

“Just do what I say, and I don’t want anyone to be absent when I arrive.” White Deer High’s director then hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, the teachers assembled on both sides of a long conference table when White Deer High’s director pushed the door open and entered. Although the teachers’ eyes were bloodshot, even yawning repeatedly, everyone sat up straight.

“Thank you all for your hard work. I’ve gathered everyone for a meeting because I have important news to share.” Elroy strode to his seat and put down his hat. His face was ashen, and his expression was solemn.

“I have just returned from visiting the president of the National Professional Alliance. Weston appreciates our education methods and is interested in providing us with more resources.”

“Wow!”

The teachers could not help but exclaim in excitement! Those who yawned immediately stopped and became high-spirited. They knew how influential the National Professional Alliance was, so it was a big deal that they favored White Deer High.

Since that was the case, White Deer High would have access to more resources to increase its popularity. It was beneficial for the school to recruit students, improve the treatment of teachers, and so on.

However, the teachers did not understand why Elroy’s face was ashen. Everyone was puzzled when Elroy’s continued, “Which means we have to acquire excellent results in the competition to be worthy of Weston’s help. Otherwise, the National Supervision Committee will question the National Professional Alliance.”

The teachers instantly understood why they needed to fight harder to achieve better competition results. Nonetheless, Team Moss and Team Mill performed exceptionally well, especially since Moss had entered the semifinals of the individual Player Kill competition.

“I also received news that Number Two and Three High’s alliances will use all their resources in the team Player Kill competition. They plan to use unethical means to win. Their ultimate goal is to win the Future Star award and apply for more resources from the National Professional Alliance,” Elroy continued, his eyebrows furrowing even tighter.

The teachers’ doubtful expressions instantly turned to shock. They knew the strength of the alliance, meaning every team participating in the competition could improve exponentially.

“What’s worse is that Number Eleven High has joined Number Three High’s alliance, while Number Twelve High has joined Number Two High’s alliance. White Deer high is the only one that isn’t a part of an alliance, meaning we can only rely on ourselves to fight against Number Two and Three High’s alliances. Moreover, those scoundrels are focusing their fire on Team Moss!”

The teachers’ expressions turned from shock to horror.

“One of ours versus twelve of theirs?!”

“That’s too shameless!”

“Won’t the organizing committee intervene?”

The teachers fiercely expressed their anger.

Elroy shook his head and said helplessly, “Although their methods are repulsive, they didn’t violate the competition rules. The organizing committee knows about this, but there’s nothing they can do.”

“This is the last project, Director Elroy. We can’t just give up, right?”

“It would be a pity for us to surrender.”

“So, what should we do now, Director Elroy?”

“We fight back!” Elroy’s gaze was unwavering as he said firmly.

Na’er saw Elroy’s determination and added passionately, “Director Elroy is right! We can’t back down, especially in such a difficult situation! Now is the time to promote chivalry!”

“Think about it, my fellow teachers! We wouldn’t have a choice if there were powerful Magical Beasts before us and countless humans to defend! Now that Number Two and Three High have pushed us against a wall, the Future Star award is further from our grasp. We might as well let our teams fight so that Number Two and Three High’s alliances can witness our might!”

“I agree!”

“Yes!”

“We must fight!”

“Let’s show them our might!”

Vim and vigor filled the teachers as they agreed with Na’er.

Seeing the teachers’ cheerfulness, Na’er continued speaking as the teachers looked at her in unison. Each revealing expectant expression.

“White Deer High can secure a spot in the top four if Moss can win his first match against Number Ten and Six High’s team, and Mill wins two matches. Even if we can’t win the final match, we have our methods, and our performance wasn’t too bad. Then our school might get some resources from the National Professional Alliance.”

“I know it sounds like an impossible task, but I believe we can do it.” Na’er became extremely excited after she spoke. Her eyes shined, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

“Very good, Na’er!” Elroy nodded as he swept his determined gaze across every teacher present. Then he conveyed his thoughts to them, “Although the future is uncertain and full of dangers, it will also be an excellent experience for Moss and Mill since it will benefit their growth. They wouldn’t regret it even if they fail to emerge victorious.”

“Wow!”

A firm and excited applause sounded in the meeting room as the teachers’ tiredness utterly disappeared, replaced by an endless fighting spirit.
