Chapter 123: Group drawing (2/2)
“Upper half, group three, Silver Trout Academy, Acorn Academy, Harrenhal Academy, Mountain Kings Academy, Longtable Academy, Rapier Academy, Salt Armor Academy, Holy Dawn Academy!”
“What?”
When they heard about group three, everyone from Holy Dawn Academy was struck dumb, while Stingham suddenly cheered.
“Don’t tell me the prayers were really useful?”
Moss was really speechless. “We really got drawn in the same group just like in his prayers?”
“It’s really too miraculous!” The girls from Agate Lake Academy also stared blankly.
“Hurry hurry hurry. In the group stage, we have to face Mountain Kings Academy in our first match!”
“You have to let us face Mountain Kings Academy in our first match!”
“Gods of Doraster, hurry up and make us face Mountain Kings Academy in our first match!”
Stingham was already praying very devoutly at this time.
“Don’t tell me this guy’s gonna be like a blind cat stumbling on a dead mouse and hit the mark again?”
Chris, Ayrin, Moss, and the others all looked at each other.
“Silver Trout Academy against Longtable Academy!”
“Acorn Academy against Rapier Academy!”
“Harrenhal Academy against Salt Armor Academy!”
“Mountain Kings Academy against Holy Dawn Academy!”
When they finished announcing the specific match-ups for the first three groups, everyone in Holy Dawn Academy and Agate Lake Academy had a blank foolish face.
That sort of coincidence really happened. Holy Dawn Academy really faced Mountain Kings Academy right for their first match!
“Ahahahaha!” After staring blankly for a few seconds, Stingham immediately laughed, wild with joy. “How about that. When it comes to my brilliant handsome wargod self, even my prayers are more useful than others!”
“…”
“Did we really draw that weeds-level team?”
“What’s that fellow laughing for?”
On the other side, the people in team Mountain Kings hadn’t come back to their senses yet.
“Ahahahaha!”
After a short time, all the members of team Mountain Kings started to laugh as well. “Our luck’s unexpectedly so great, we actually ran straight into a weeds-level team just like that!”
“Is that weeds-level team really dumb? They’re meeting us in the first match, but they’re still happy over there.”
“That bunch of guys is really excessive.” Sophia frowned, looking at team Mountain Kings pleased beside themselves. “Even if they look down on someone, they should hide it at least. They don’t even have the most basic of manners.”
“Silver Trout Academy’s the seeded team?” Ayrin thought a while and asked, “I think it’s the team we saw just a bit ago, that team that wears silver school uniforms?”
“That’s right. You can’t say the results of your draw are good, you can’t say they’re bad either. Luck’s average probably.” Sophia nodded. “Team Silver Trout is ranked seventh. Breith Magazine ranks them as an outstanding team… You haven’t run across the top three from last year, monster-level academies like Dragon Breath Academy, Abel Academy, or Golden Stag Academy. But you still have two strong veteran teams like Mountain Kings Academy and Harrenhal Academy.”
“Luck’s not too great and not too bad either?” Ayrin nodded. “Next, we just have to wait for your group.”
“Lower half group one, Golden Stag Academy…”
“It’s Rinsyi’s school!” When they announced group one in the lower half, Ayrin’s eyes suddenly became stern and icy.
“Golden Stag Academy, Hawkmoon Academy, Orkmont Academy, Agate Lake Academy…”
“What!”
Ayrin, Sophia, and the others sucked in a deep breath at the same time.
As it happened, Agate Lake Academy was actually drawn together in the same group as Golden Stag Academy!
