208 Complex Situation (2/2)
The eight-to-four round finally ended. Every player was exhausted and had used up the last of their energy. The history department just sat on the side the entire time, drinking tea and eating snacks as if they were just having fun… Seeing that Charles was cheering in the stands, the taunting multiplied instantly.
Every eye that looked over was bloodshot and shone with the cold message, ”I’m going to end you!” They gave Ye Qingxuan goosebumps. It was as if someone had killed their fathers!
”You won’t be proud for too long…” someone muttered to him when they passed by after the game. Ye Qingxuan looked over, but could only see a mass of people and Banner’s cold eyes in the distance. Those emerald eyes had the vertical pupils of a beast.

”Is everyone ready?” Sydney asked weakly as he stood on the podium. After being messed with for three continuous days, he really did not want to do anything.
The team leaders facing him exchanged glances with troubled eyes. The semi-finals were tomorrow, but no one knew why there were five teams after the eight-to-four round. But since there were five teams, there would be one that was…the odd one out? At this thought, they exchanged glances with helpless eyes. It would probably be the history department again, right?
”If everyone’s ready, then let’s start drawing…” Sydney dragged out the last word weakly and cursed under his breath. But suddenly, he froze.
Wait, there was something wrong! Why didn’t he feel those familiar scornful eyes? Did that dog not come?
Sydney looked around and instantly smiled. It did not come! He also felt a little bit at a loss, but he still could not help but feel his fighting spirit reignite.
”Did the music history department not come?” He rubbed his hands together in excitement. ”Then it counts as them giving up! Half their points will be deducted and they voluntarily…”
”Isn’t deducing half of our points a bit dramatic?” Someone behind him sighed and patted his shoulder. ”Teacher, don’t overlook me. I’m standing right here. Can you not see?”
Sydney spun around. When he saw the white-haired youth, his eyes almost fell out of their sockets. ”You?”
Glenn was stunned but then he scoffed. ”You’re not going to hide in the back anymore? You might be able to get to the finals just by using that dog.”
”I thought it through,” Ye Qingxuan stated. ”I don’t need any secret weapons to deal with you all. I can do it myself.”
The podium fell silent. Then everyone burst into laughter as if they heard an incredible joke. No one said anything, but someone patted his shoulder in ‘admiration,’ praising his amazing confidence.
”Then, good luck.” Glenn’s facial muscles twitched as he tried not to laugh. ”I really anticipate meeting you all on the field.”
”Me too, me too!” Someone came over and shook his hand warmly. ”And please give us advice so we can improve together.”
‘Welcomed’ so enthusiastically by them, Ye Qingxuan smiled sweetly. ”Don’t worry,” he said. ”No matter what the results are, I’m sure everyone will return in disappointment.”
Hearing his words, the coldness in their smiles grew.
Sydney was quiet for a moment. Then he shuddered and looked to the podium. He quickly looked away and his gaze toward Ye Qingxuan became extremely strange, with a tinge of mockery. ”I just received a message that the school board had created a new rule. This time, you can’t draw empty.”
”That’s okay! Participation is the most important!” Ye Qingxuan laughed mysteriously, as if he was planning something, making everyone worried.
Huh, maybe he was just trying to mislead everyone.
Sydney sneered and raised his hands, announcing, ”Let’s begin the draw.”
Below the podium, Charles paced back and forth. His expression was troubled and helpless. When he looked up at the podium, he felt a wave of nerves. He had no clue what the results would be.
”Is he actually reliable?” Charles scratched his head and glanced at Bai Xi. ”Yezi went up so confidently. What if something happens?”
”How would I know?” Bai Xi was a bit annoyed. ”This is the third time you asked since he went up…Didn’t the results come out? Look for yourself…”
She pointed at the list that had just been announced on the podium. Charles looked up in confusion and immediately felt his world go dark.
It was the worst draw, as expected.
No, it was worse than their expectations.
Amidst a wave of boos, the arrangement for the first game of the next day was announced.
The music history department against the School of Royalty!

Everyone let out a sigh of relief in the faculty section. Finally, no one had drawn empty and everything was back to normal. Everyone looked much happier. This included the sneering Ingmar.
Faced with a group of elites, and Banner who was already a musician, this guy was definitely dead…
As for Ludwig, he was completely focused on playing with the miniature version of the black leopard cat. It was curled into a ball and gently gnawed on his finger. The human and cat were immersed in the fun and did not even care about had happened. Nothing was more fun than playing with a cat, so he shouldn’t he play with cats?
Only Egor’s face was grave, with his brows knitted. In the wave of cheers, he was the only one with a dark expression and stood out from the crowd.
”What now?” Ludwig glanced at him.
Egor replied emotionlessly, ”There’s something I don’t understand.”
”No one drew empty this time.”
”I know.” Egor eyed him. ”But I think we neglected something.”
”What are you talking about?”
”They drew empty for three days. They might have gotten lucky the first day. If the principal wanted to help them for the third day, then…” Egor murmured, ”What happened the second day?”
Ludwig immediately understood his question. After pondering, shock flashed past his eyes. ”Are you saying…”
Egor nodded. ”Yes.”
The two met eyes and their expressions changed in unison. ”If that’s the case, then things are much more complicated.”
