Beast Familiar: Beasts are just for me to bond with

Chapter 68 First Battle

In front of the lounge is a huge screen with today's battle schedule written on it.

[Venue 1: Nanchuan No. 3 Middle School vs. Qinghe Experiment! Time 9:30]

[Venue No. 2: Qinghe No. 1 Middle School vs. Annan Middle School! Time 9:30]

…

After a quick scan, Chen Wen and others saw a certain battle arrangement.

The staff said: "The first round of the battle will start at 9:30. You can arrive before 9:15. You can rest in the lounge first, and then go to the battle field."

Lu Dong said: "We are not tired, let's go directly to the battlefield!"

The staff did their best and led everyone from Qinghe No. 1 Middle School to Battlefield No. 2.

Battlefield No. 2 is indoors, like an arena, with the battleground in the center and raised stands surrounding it, which can seat hundreds of spectators.

Even before the game started, dozens of people were already sitting in the audience.

Chen Wen said in surprise: "I'm going, and the audience will tell me?"

He thought no one watched the previous rounds.

Zhang Dewang on the side said with emotion: "We didn't get this kind of treatment last year. The first few rounds of games were all played outdoors, and the only spectators were a few passers-by..."

Yang Wenhan smiled and said: "The first few rounds of competitions in general schools are like this, but last year No. 1 Middle School achieved good results, so this year the attention and treatment are different."

While they were joking, everyone sat down at the player bench on one side under the arrangement of the staff and put away their schoolbags and other items.

"The opponent is Annan Middle School. Last year's provincial qualifiers ended in the top 64, but you can't be careless because of this..."

Lu Dong warned everyone while giving them information about his opponent.

In fact, he has said these words before and is just repeating them now.

The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to strengthen everyone's impression, and on the other hand, to ease the nervousness of the newcomers.

However, he found that Chen Wen and Li Siyu were not nervous at all, but could only hide their excitement.

Especially Chen Wen, who was gearing up as if he wanted to take the place of his pet beast in the battle.

Lu Dong said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless. You must know that we also stopped at the top sixty-four the year before last. Except for the few high schools in Shudu, the level of beast control in other schools has fluctuated greatly. Every year, there are a large number of dark horses counterattacking.

Chen Wen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be careless."

Lu Dong said: "It's best this way. If you mess up the game for me, I'll replace you from the home team immediately."

The order of departure today is Chen Wen, Li Siyu, Zhang Dewang, Luo Yin, and Yang Wenhan.

"ah?"

Chen Wen was surprised, and then said: "What if someone directly appoints the captain?"

Lu Dong asked back: "So you are guaranteed to win if you are not the captain?"

Chen Wen was speechless.

He doesn't know the strength of his opponent, so how can he dare to guarantee it?

Lu Dong snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Try your best to get a good start for No. 1 Middle School."

Chen Wen nodded and became much calmer.

As time passed, the number of people in the audience gradually increased. Club members, teachers and students from the school who were scheduled for the second round of the competition slowly poured into the No. 2 battle arena.

At the same time, the referee team and the Annan Middle School representative team also entered the battle field.

The referee team inspected the field, and the Annan Middle School representative team sat down on the other side of the field, looking around excitedly, and then discussing in a low voice.

"They are the No. 1 Middle School Team of Qinghe? They look just average..."

"Yeah, except that the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, there's nothing special about her!"

"Their main players last year have all gone to college. This year they are all freshmen, including two high school sophomores. They really can't find anyone."

"Hehe, it would be great if we defeat them. Maybe we can become famous!"

"..."

Seeing the students' fighting spirit, the instructor of Annan Middle School nodded with satisfaction, saying that he was doing quite well in his mental construction.

When he was drawn to Qinghe No. 1 Middle School at the beginning, he was a little disappointed.

However, after getting the roster of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School Team, he was relieved.

The famous Feng Chuixue has left the team!

He felt that without the wind and snow, Qinghe No. 1 Middle School was like a tiger without claws and claws. It was still very big, but it was not necessarily a ferocious beast, it might even be a piece of fat meat.

"Last year's Qinghe No. 1 Middle School was indeed not something we could compete with, but now they are in trouble and their strength is only average.

So don't be intimidated by their name, you have to believe in your own strength. Last year they were able to advance from an unknown school to the national competition, and we can too this year.

There is always someone who is the dark horse, why can’t it be us?”

Ren Hai's impassioned voice lit up the eyes of the excited Annan students with blazing fire.

Looking at his team members one by one, he asked loudly again: "What better start than winning the national top 16 flag?"

Ren Hai's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either.

Chen Wen vaguely heard the opponent's impassioned speech across the battlefield, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Dong, who was there.

"Teacher Lu, why don't you give a pre-game speech?"

"No need!"

Lu Dong shook his head expressionlessly, and then said: "This is not a sports competition, the ones fighting are your pet beasts, and even if you want to give a speech, you should give a speech to your pet beast.

As beast masters, what you need to do is to stay calm and make the most correct judgment for your pet."

Regarding Ren Hai's speech, Lu Dong was extremely disdainful, saying: "I'm so excited now, but later on in the battle, I will lose my focus when summoning my pet beast. It's really stupid."

Chen Wen nodded, stopped paying attention to his surroundings, and began to adjust his breathing and clear his mind.

After a while, the referee team inspected the venue and the game officially started.

On the hosting stage, a professional breeder raised his voice and shouted eloquently: "The upcoming competition is the Qinghe No. 1 Squadron Captain Annan Middle School competition!"

Then, he looked at the match list submitted by the coaches of both sides and announced loudly.

“Now, let’s invite the contestants from the first match on both sides to come on stage!”

"Chen Wen from Qinghe No. 1 Middle School and Yue He from Annan Middle School."

With the amplification of the loudspeaker, the host's voice filled the entire audience, and the audience's enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

"Come on Yue He!"

"Yue He, you will definitely win!"

"..."

The teachers and students from Annan who came along said loudly.

Yue He's face turned red, he pushed up his eyes, faced the glances from all around, and walked excitedly towards the central battlefield.

Chen Wen suddenly opened his eyes when he heard his name.

He Xiong, Li Siyu and others beside him encouraged and cheered Chen Wen up easily.

"Come on Awen!"
