Chapter 149: Information About the New Student Kings! (1/2)
On their way back from the conference hall, the Savage Class was feeling the most downcast they had ever been. The New Student Tournament did not have a fixed format. Like the entrance examination, there would be changes each year. Bai Xiaofei’s two puppets were the best tools to deal with such uncertainties. Unfortunately, this tool was now sealed. Bai Xiaofei was now no different from a martial artist.
“This is not necessarily a bad thing for us.” Bai Xiaofei had been thinking about this for the entire way. Just as they were about to reach their class, he abruptly spoke. The others were slightly stunned. Even Xue Ying turned her head to look at him.
“What do you mean?” Xue Ying asked. Unlike the other teachers, she would have to leave the academy if the Savage Class did not manage to take first place in the tournament.
Therefore, it was impossible for her not to feel anxious.
“Firstly, I rarely need to do anything whenever our class is fighting anyway. Since Huskie’s ability is not suited for tournaments either, sealing my puppets is equivalent to sealing only Blackie.”
“Secondly, Vice Principal Luo only banned my puppets. I myself wasn’t banned from participating. Didn’t you guys say before that my biggest asset is my brain instead of my combat strength? By banning me from using my puppets, Vice Principal Luo Xi is actually helping me maximize my worth instead.”
“In any case, we have been trying to hide our real strength all along. But I won’t need to do that anymore. Nobody will know Blackie’s ability even after the first match.”
The more Bai Xiaofei spoke, the more animated his face became. He had now successfully convinced himself. Unfortunately, to the others, it sounded like he was only trying to comfort them.
“But…” Xu Chen wanted to say something but was immediately interrupted by Bai Xiaofei.
“No buts. There will be a hundred classes participating during the first match. You think you guys aren't enough to beat them? When have you guys ever been so lacking in confidence?”
This time, everyone’s eyes lit up.
True, it’s just a hundred classes! Among these classes, only less than twenty of them are a threat to the Savage class. The chances of encountering a class like that in the first match itself should be quite low!
Their mood improved when they thought of this. Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei’s puppets were only banned for one match.
“So can we now move on to analyzing what’s truly important for this match?” After helping everyone regain their confidence, Bai Xiaofei looked at Xue Ying, clearly excited. The Savage Class had been very busy for the past few days but this hadn’t been the case for her. She had spent all her free time gathering information. The New Student Kings happened to be one of the things she had focused on while gathering information.
“ Let’s go back to class first. There’s too much information. It will take a while to finish sharing it.”
Xue Ying’s mood had also improved. She immediately entered a proper state of mind and turned around before continuing to walk in front. The dispirited expressions on the Savage Class students was gradually replaced by excitement. After returning to their class, everyone sat in a circle. It was now Xue Ying’s turn to take the stage.
“As mentioned previously, nine people have been elected as Newcomer Kings. Excluding Lin Li, I have information on eight of them here.”
Xue Ying took out a thick stack of paper as she spoke. After each person took a pamphlet, Xue Ying started her presentation.
“Let us start with someone we are all familiar with, Hu Xian’er.”
Xue Ying did not forget to send a vicious glare Bai Xiaofei’s way when she said the word “familiar”.
