245 I have champagne in my room (2/2)

After the middle-aged man said this, the two turned around without looking back and walked out of the medical ward.

…

The middle-aged man and woman quickly walked to a secluded corner and conjured a soundproof domain.

The middle-aged man whispered, “This is a fantastic opportunity. It seems our plans on encroaching Gaia can be restarted.”

The middle-aged woman gave a slight sneer and said, “Previously, that Tu Dahei destroyed our plans, but who knew he would offer himself like this. Remember to execute this matter without telling the elderly God of Swords. Ever since the battle exchange, he has been adamantly trying to prevent the encroaching plans, but he refuses to say the reason. He only mentions that Gaia is filled with hidden talents. What a joke. If Gaia truly had hidden talents, would they have been reduced to second tier? That old fogey must be cherishing his friendship with One-Pun. It’s truly as the saying goes, once you turn old, your blade turns blunt.”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “We will secretly execute this matter. We need to find an appropriate opportunity and expose this matter. It’s best when most rookies are present. It’s rumored that Tu Dahei is extremely arrogant and is disliked by the rookies. When the time comes, we might even get some free support.”

The middle-aged woman fell into silence for a moment and said, “When the trials are reduced to the last few people, nearly everyone will be gathered in the auditorium to pay attention to the final level of the trial. At that moment, we can ‘seek justice’ from Yama Minamiya, and stir up the problem and make the situation tense and irrecoverable. Even if Yama Minamiya is willing to sacrifice Tu Dahei and compromise, we will insist on things. Then, we will angrily lose all decorum in front of everyone. When the time comes, Zeus will have enough reason to encroach onto Gaia.”

The middle-aged man revealed a smile and said, “That’s a good timing. Those rookies would have just finished the trial and would definitely be feeling unhappy. It would be the perfect time for them to vent their hatred for Tu Dahei too. I can already imagine how Tu Dahei is being condemned by everyone, the scene of him being unable to give a convincing explanation. It would definitely be very interesting.”

The middle-aged woman also smiled. “This matter shall be done in this way. Our positions will make a giant leap. Those old fogeys have been coveting Gaia’s heritage series greatly.”

The middle-aged man said, “Let’s celebrate tonight?”

The middle-aged woman nodded, “I have champagne in my room.”

As the organization faction was undergoing their selection, the academic faction was naturally doing the same. The academic faction had long begun the audition of the entire country. It was different from the organization’s decision using one round. The academic faction had plenty of manpower, so the entire selection process was open and extensive.

All the freshmen could enroll to join in the mass training and selection. Every round, there would be recorded video that would be posted on the official video feed!

And today, the day when the organization faction was undergoing their selection, the academic faction’s national audition had come to an end. The rookies chosen from each province’s audition had arrived in Beijing today!

One super rookie after another walked out of the airport. The people who came to welcome them cheered. It was different from the organization faction where hero missions were considered. The academic faction paid more focus to the formation of the students’ fame. If the academic institute could produce a celebrity-grade hero, that would greatly increase the reputation of the institute.

Hence, all the super rookies sent by the academic faction were exposed from the moment they entered their institutes. As such, their fame was much greater than the super rookies in the organization faction. Every year, the number of super rookies the academic faction received far exceeded the organization faction.

And this year, a new record was made. There were more than fifty super rookies throughout the country. More than forty of them chose to carry on with their studied, with fewer than ten joining the organizations. This was also one of the reasons why the conflict between the two factions suddenly intensified.

Although the super rookies only represented being first in the overall quality assessment in their province, it did not mean they were the strongest. However, this situation clearly made the organization faction feel greatly threatened.

Noon.

At the academic faction’s selection venue, it was a stadium that could hold ten thousand people. It was already filled with spectators.

The selection style of the academic faction had a very rich academic vibe to it. It was a single knockout duel!

The two hundred and fifty-six freshmen that were selected would participate in an elimination tournament until thirty-six people were left. Following that, they would be split into teams to vie for the top ten spots. Finally, a second round of elimination matches would decide the final rankings!

It would last for many days and it would be a feast for the audience’s eyes, creating several headlines. This was the standard style of the academic faction!

And today’s first round in the playoffs was sufficient to grab the attention of many. This was because the first contestant on the candidate name list was the princess of Battle Arena Corporation, Princess Xiao Xiao, who studied in Peihua University!
