Chapter 1113 Barty’s selfishness
In short, one of the most watched events in the Comprehensive Knight Fighting Competition, the individual finals of the high-level division has officially come to an end.
As expected, Mu Xuejian, a second-year student from the Paladin Knight Academy, won the championship in one fell swoop. He won the championship with his consistent crushing strength and became the darkest horse in this competition. Dark horse.
Of course, the so-called 'dark horse' is actually just because Mu Xuejian had zero popularity before participating in the competition, and the Holy Lance Knight Academy has been far less competitive than the Diesel family, White Oath Knight Academy, and even the It's just a delegation from the Knights Guild. As for the surprise and excitement that the 'dark horse' setting is supposed to bring to people, there is absolutely no way it can be applied to Mu Xuejian.
Starting from the first day of the competition, whether in the individual competition area or the team competition area, this girl with long snow-colored hair and a six-foot (modern length) Qingfeng walked gracefully as a king. Step by step, overcome all obstacles and walk calmly.
Except for the 'thrilling' final match with Kevin just now, she had not even suffered any injuries in the competition before today. Whether she was fighting against one person in an individual competition or against fifty people in a team competition, she was always devastated. Knock the opponent to pieces without any hesitation.
Because of this, when the referee loudly announced that Mu Xuejian was the winner of the individual competition, the audience who had guessed the outcome early did not even burst into cheers and applause like in previous years, until the atmosphere gradually became awkward. After getting up, he came back to his senses and offered warm blessings to the white-haired girl who had always been expressionless.
Mu Xuejian herself didn’t feel too embarrassed. She just calmly accepted the bonus awarded to her by the president of the Academy City Branch of the Knights Guild and other commemorative but useless things, and then Imitating the champions on TV, he bowed politely to the stands on all sides, then put on a business-like smile on his face and walked out of the ring, returning to the Paladin who had been guarding below a few minutes ago. In the college delegation.
“Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Mu.”
Because he often feeds Mu Xuejian during this period, Dean Hopkins did not use the more alienating 'Miss Mu' called Mu Xuejian, but changed her name to a more friendly one, patted the latter's thin shoulder and said with a smile: "Go back and have a good rest."
Mu Xuejian nodded slightly, put on a business-like smile again, expressed his gratitude to the surrounding 'students' who had gathered around to wish him well, and then walked straight to the rest area.
There are less than two hours left before the team competition. Even if you don’t do anything, the physical energy you consumed before can be easily restored to full naturally, but the problem is...
"Miss Mu."
Barty Arthur, who just briefly congratulated Mu Xuejian and then said nothing, is the same person who had this year's scholarship deducted by Hopkins just half an hour ago. The half-orc knight of the fox tribe suddenly stopped the former, and after a brief hesitation, he asked softly to the curious white-haired girl: "Well... maybe I am too worried, but in the game just now, you ..."
"Well, I'm hurt."
Noticing the focus of Barty's gaze, Mu Xuejian nodded happily without waiting for the other party to finish speaking: "My left hand is a little uncomfortable."
Suddenly, Hopkins and Barty's The pupils suddenly shrank, and the other students around him also showed solemn expressions, looking a little uneasy.
Of course they will be uneasy. After all, this girl has been the absolute ace of the Paladin Academy since the opening day of the fighting competition. Before the crucial team finals begins, , this ace actually frankly admitted that he was injured.
However, Mu Xuejian, the person involved, looked indifferent. He tilted his head and asked the handsome fox man with smooth red hair in front of him: "So is there any problem?"
"This..."
Barty breathed a sigh of relief, narrowed his slender and bright eyes and said, "Then it depends on the extent of what you call 'slightly uncomfortable', Miss Mu."
< br>"You told me before that in the team competition, I just need to obey your orders and perform as usual."< br>
Mu Xuejian raised his right hand and gently wiped it from his left wrist, and said lightly: "If that's all, it doesn't matter."
Bati was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but ask again. He said: "It doesn't matter?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter."
The girl nodded and said seriously: "Even if my left hand feels uncomfortable, I won't become weaker than before, so it shouldn't hinder your arrangement, Mr. Batou."
"Ba... ... Croton?”
The corner of Barty Arthur’s mouth twitched, and then he smiled with relief, and said with a smile: “It would be great if that’s the case, but I don’t know I don’t want to put too much pressure on you, Miss Mu, so please rest assured that if there is any problem, just tell me in advance.”
Mu Xuejian shook his head calmly: “The problem just happened. I've said it all. Although it's really not comfortable, it can meet your requirements, and I'm not under any pressure. Hopkins told me from the beginning that even if I lose the game, as long as I don't deliberately let it go, I'll still have money. Take it.”
Barty: “…”
All the students: "..."
"Ahem!"
Feeling the eyes focused on him, Hopkins snorted with some embarrassment and said angrily: "Everyone. What are you looking at! If you all have the strength of Xiao Mu, you can also take it! If not, don’t look at me here, it’s useless, just hold back if you don’t agree!”
“Tell me the truth! "
The thoughtful Batty suddenly turned to look at Hopkins and asked seriously: "Did you have a plan to deduct my scholarship? Otherwise, it was only because you were able to control it at the time. The budget is simply..."
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, next year's scholarship will be gone."
"I will graduate next year, tutor."
"Do you think I can let you repeat the grade?"
"Such a mentor. In fact, my family has two chambers of commerce in Anka, so I don't value scholarships that much."
"Your family has two chambers of commerce?!"
"Well, two."
"Then why did you apply for the subsidy for poor students from the first grade?!"
"He is such a tutor. My tutor is very strict, so my pocket money is very high." If you don’t have enough, you will be very poor.”
“You have two chambers of commerce!”
“But I am very poor personally.”
"You just said you don't value scholarships very much!"
"Because I don't want to repeat a grade, tutor."
"..."
Hopkins took a deep breath After calming down his blood pressure, he turned his head and no longer looked at his innocent apprentice, and said to Mu Xuejian: "Let's not talk about whether it will affect my performance. I have some leftovers when I was young. Can I apply some of the Caselonan white medicine to you?”
“No, this injury is a bit strange. Even applying Jin Ke La will not have any effect. I’m going to eat first.”
Mu Xuejian shook his head, then turned around and continued walking to the rest area.
......
Wait until the girl leaves
"Then, let us put aside the matter of Miss Mu and the scholarship first, and talk about the game in the afternoon. ”
Barty Arthur, who has always been quite popular and prestigious in the academy because of his smart mind, excellent grades, and kindness to others, coughed slightly. With a sound, he shook the fluffy fox tail behind him, turned around and looked around at the junior students around him, and said softly: "First of all, I must explain one thing. Although in everyone's eyes, this Barty Arthur The person may have a good personality, but in my personal opinion, I am actually a very selfish person. "For example, subsidies for poor students?"
In the crowd, a blond orc girl with pointed rabbit ears smiled and made a wisecrack.
"Yes, for example, subsidies for poor students...well, didn't we agree not to talk about this now."
Bati scratched the tip of his nose, then spread his hands and said: " Let’s put it this way, even though the instructor gave me the most important team competition and let me, a guy who is far better than my predecessor and whose tactical level is much higher than our dean, have a free hand to arrange it, I still betrayed this trust and did not To choose the best solution among all possibilities."
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, except for Dean Hopkins who was 'betrayed of trust'. He glared at the latter when he said "What's better than blue", and kept a gentle smile the whole time.
"Let's put it this way, dear classmates."
Bati shrugged and spread his hands: "In my opinion, let Miss Mu serve as the center, while we rely on several defensive battle formations to fight steadily. The best policy is to play a war of attrition as much as possible, although the scene will be more It’s ugly, but if we do that, even if the Diesel family’s friends are on the level of Ms. Liadrin, we will have at least a 90% chance of winning.”
We were attacked by Mu Xue not long ago. The tall orc knight whose sword fell instantly with one move plucked out a nose hair. , twirling his fingers angrily and asked: "This is different from the plan you told us before, Senior Barty."
"If you listened carefully just now, you will find that I have already said that I 'Not choosing the best solution among all possibilities' "
Bati looked helplessly at his third-year student, who was good at everything but not very smart, and continued: "I have also mentioned the reason. It's because of myself. selfishness, to be specific..."
"What is it specifically?"
The half-orc female knight of the rabbit tribe who has always had a crush on this senior urged curiously.
"First of all, everyone knows that I like to study tactics, and my specialty is only studying tactics. If we really talk about personal strength, I am afraid that any one of you can defeat me in two minutes."
Bati smiled self-deprecatingly, wagging his finger and said softly: "And the method I just mentioned, although the chance of winning is very high, does not allow me to use my strengths at all. In other words, If so, then He can't stand out at all. If he has to leave an impression on others, I'm afraid it can only be said that he is the weakest person in the Paladin Knight Academy. I am not willing to do it. "
Everyone laughed in unison, not taking it particularly seriously, because these people all knew one of Barty's little problems, that is, when talking about things, he always starts with the least important. Click to start talking.
In other words, the proportion of his so-called unwillingness, if not none, is definitely not that big.
"Then the second point."
Bati didn't realize that everyone didn't take what he just said seriously, he just showed an embarrassed smile and whispered Said: "That's because I personally actually like... er, or admire Miss Mu Xuejian, so I don't want her to have to work too hard. What's more, she was injured just now, and I don't want her to bear too much. It's responsibility, you know In that style of play with the highest winning rate, she almost always has to deal with the strongest attack points of the Diesel Knights. Even if she can withstand them, it will never be easy. "
"Ah! ! ”
The rabbit female knight suddenly let out a piercing scream, then squatted on the ground and pretended to wipe away tears, and said in a crying voice: "I'm so heartbroken." ”
Barty: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Half a minute later
"Ahem, and then the last bit."
Baty Di looked away awkwardly, and after being silent for a while, he whispered: "You all know the atmosphere of our college, and you can even say that you are the group with the most say. It is really not easy for people to grit their teeth and persevere until now. It is very, very difficult. You have put in more efforts than anyone else, and the haze in your heart is heavier than anyone else. No one has seen this. , everyone will only criticize our college habitually, and then say by the way, 'the students there are really miserable and it's not easy.'"
Everyone was silent.
“And I, as someone who has come all the way like you, don’t want to be a foil on this stage, and I don’t want you to be a foil too. I admit that Miss Mu and us are completely different worlds. People who can do countless things that we can't do, deserve more cheers and applause than us."
Bati turned his head and glanced in the direction of the rest area, and then smiled seriously. Said: "But, despite this, even though this is not wise, I still choose to let her set off us in the next finals, and still choose to stand in the center of this stage with you, to sway everything I can, to Let’s get some applause for everything we have endured over the years.”
“That’s not what we deserve. It should belong to Miss Mu.
But I can’t control that much now. ”
I gave up the simplest and most direct victory and snatched the stage into my own hands and into your hands.
I want everyone to see my excellent side, and I want everyone to see your excellent side.
So——
The original 90% chance of winning has become less.
I am not a god, let alone a famous general, so I don’t know how much it is missing.
But it doesn't matter.
Let my mentor, Dean Hopkins, bear the responsibility.
Glory is up to us to fight for.
I don’t want to make any declaration of victory, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if I lose.
So...
classmates.
Promise me not to leave any regrets for yourself! "
At the end, Barty Arthur, whose eyes were red, finally couldn't help roaring.
And what responded to him were forty-eight pairs of eyes that were as red as his own, And a roar that is neither neat nor loud, and even the content cannot be heard clearly, but contains endless fighting spirit
