Chapter 180: Alliance of Noobs

Translator: Double_LEditor: Hitesh_

The next day was London Military Academy’s turn. Their situation was slightly better than Cruxs’, but still, only managed to win one more round throughout the tournament. However, the students of London Military Academy were quite happy. At least, they were not the one with the lowest points.

Clearly, the Academy of Capth was filled with aces and elites, as they had sent out different candidates in the same categories, and those new candidates were still able to win round after round, not to mention those were not even the strongest ones.

Nevertheless, everyone knew that London Military Academy would be weaker.

Washington Military Academy was scheduled to take on Capth on day three. They were, in fact, top-notch amongst all A-Ranked academies. Washington Military Academy had always been drooling to become the next S-Ranked academy, and they had always been known as Capth’s greatest rival.

The arena was already fully packed early in the morning. Everyone was expecting an exciting tournament.

As usual, the tournament began with the Survival Challenge, and Washington Military Academy already demonstrated a surprising performance; the challengers might have lost, yet they were able to pressure their opponents by a close score of 2:3. The other A-Ranked academies instantly saw a ray of hope; perhaps, Washington Military Academy would really be able to cause a miracle.

Washington Military Academy suffered another loss in Intel Programming Battle. Yet, they bounced back by successfully obtaining a breathtaking victory in Heavy Armed Brawl and scored one point finally! It was not an ordinary point because it was a proof of them winning the whole category. Apparently, the candidate named Ali was born with an extraordinary physical strength, which then led him to become the super-elite, and also the hidden ace of Washington Military Academy. However, the uneasy surprise had heightened the awareness of Capth.

Students from the other academies were deeply encouraged by that round. They finally realized that Capth was not as invincible as it seemed like!

Meanwhile, Jia Gang, who lost that round, was deeply saddened by his carelessness. He blamed himself of underestimating the funny-looking fella, and in the end, he was bitten back by his own ego.

Just as the candidates of Washington Military Academy saw a ray of hope, Capth decided to send out Bisu for Battlecraft Combat, as it was time for him to ”warm-up”. In a flash, he managed to defeat three opponents in a row with his superb controlling maneuvers. The matches were so quick that his poor opponents didn’t even get to see what really happened.

It was totally outrageous! Yet to Bisu, those were nothing compared to his usual warm-ups.

Both Bisu and Flash were crowned as the living legends of Battlecraft Combat, and no one would be surprised if both of them would become two outstanding fleet captains in the future, or perhaps they would even create their own histories.

The excitement of Washington Military Academy immediately died down; they were completely overwhelmed by Capth’s dominating capabilities.

The tournament was followed up by the long-awaited METAL Combat, and Wally successfully won four times in a row without breaking a sweat, showing no mercy to the guests. In the end, Washington Military Academy managed to score only one point like Cruxs.

The Academy of Capth was indeed an indestructible fortress.

Nevertheless, Washington Military Academy was still able to shake the arrogance of Capth. At least they had managed to force Capth to send out their aces and exhausted them a little bit; but nothing more than that. What’s worse, that wasn’t even Capth’s strongest formation.

On day four, To-So Military Academy’s fate was even more depressing; they suffered a devastating humiliation of 0:10. Obviously, Washington Military Academy’s surprising performances had triggered their alertness and bloodthirstiness, but To-So Military Academy was the one to suffer in the end.

Students of the A-Ranked academies who were pretty confident a few days ago were utterly crushed after day four; the humiliation was unbearable. Without a doubt, every academy had recruited quite a few talents of their own. However, they had forgotten that elite ”head-hunting” was not a difficult task in the era of talents blooming across the continent, and being one of the best S-Ranked academies, Capth would never miss a chance of recruiting their own aces as well. Regardless of Capth or the other A-Ranked academies, everyone had been busy all year round, recruiting talents and aces for the sake of their fame and glory.

Halmond didn’t show up during the competition against To-So Military Academy; there was no point of him being in the arena since the outcome was not a suspense at all. However, he was very excited about facing Samantha’s team, a team led by someone who was one of his best students. And to be honest, he was actually overjoyed by the rivalry between him and his former student!

Anyhow, people seemed not quite interested in the final tournament. The Ayrlarng-Bernabeu Alliance sounded quite weak to most of them. After all, two weak parties teaming up would only make themselves even weaker! Moreover, there was no way that the alliance would be able to do better than Washington Military Academy.

Only a handful of Capth’s students showed up, as most of them were already bored of watching their team owning every single academy, not to mention their aces might not be participating since the alliance was too weak for them to get involved.

Any match would have its own spectators if a tournament were held in some ordinary academy. However, this time the tournament was held in Capth, and due to the pride of enrolling in an S-Ranked academy, the students of Capth were quite ”picky” when it came to battle matches.

Yet, unlike how the others reacted, Capth’s team seemed to be paying attention to the alliance. Perhaps it was due to Ma Xiaoru’s presence, or perhaps it was because Samantha was a former student of Capth, even Vice Principal Halmond had shown up.

As for the other academies, apparently, only Cruxs’ team showed up in the spectating area. Yet no one knew if they were here to see the alliance got humiliated or for other purposes. Clearly the rest of the academies had given up on them.
