Just like last year, this year's first-year group elimination competition was still a four-person group riding battle — a battle for the headband, in which the three people below were in the front, left, and right, holding hands as "horses" and cooperating with the "people" above.
Because it was the "Xiong Ying Version" of the horse riding battle, the process of competition was naturally as bloody as it could be,
And the personality compatibility of the selected group was also the key to winning the horse riding battle.
Prunus and An Qiu quickly found their teammates, Yuko Uchikai and Chiku Saito from the same class.
The former's Yuko Uchikai was also participating in the senior's plan, and Chiku Saito was her good friend.
In fact..,
For Prunus and An Qiu, who were at the bottom of the class,
There was no choice of teammates to speak of, so when Yuko came to invite them..,
Prunus and An Qiu immediately agreed.
"That..,
My personality is that of a shark,
My habits are basically the same as a shark,
Therefore, my abilities will be better in the water, such as my protective color and my sense of smell in the water... As for the advantages on land..,
Basically, only this sharp tooth and a relatively hard body... "Uchikai explained very honestly, and then lowered his head a little submissively. Unlike his personality, he was more timid.
"Uchikai's body still has scales!" Prunus blinked,
She said in surprise.
"Those are shield scales, they are relatively hard,
They can withstand ordinary damage. "
Uchikai tilted his head and explained seriously, "But my physical fitness isn't very good... so Chiku's joining us is really a big help. Sob, sob, sob."
Chiku Saito patted Uchikai's shoulder in a friendly manner,
Her smile was especially amiable. "It's okay, Uchikai, we will definitely advance!"
Chiku Saito was a top student in Class 1-A. Her personality was the same as that of Uchikai. They were both zoological.
Her personality, "Spider", allowed her to do anything a spider could do.
Among them, her most commonly used technique was Silk Shot.
He would definitely be of great use in a horse riding battle. His physical strength and mobility were also high, so he had been invited by several teams just now.
"My personality is that of a door. I can teleport myself to a place within a certain range. If you come into contact with me, I can 'teleport' you as well."
An Qiu looked down at her hands. She opened and closed them. "So, in order to have a more comprehensive view, I hope to be in front of the 'horse'."
Uchikai nodded and looked at Chiku. "Then Chiku will be a 'human'!
Your [Silk Thread] will definitely help us get the headband … Now, Prunus and I will be the left and right wings. "
Prunus had no objection and immediately nodded in agreement.
In this way, the roles of the horse riding battle were very clear. When the four girls were almost done discussing their strategy, the second round of the horse riding battle began.
"Our score is too insignificant. We shouldn't be a target for the time being!"
Chiku sat on the 'horse' built by the three of them and said with a serious face, "So, we should be able to gradually counterattack from the rear!
Take good care of our headbands! "
She had always had the judgment and leadership skills needed in a battle. Uchikai and Prunus on the left and right wings immediately nodded in agreement. Only An Qiu, as the frontline, made a worrisome declaration. "Sorry … but the opponents are coming soon." And they were coming at them with their lives on the line.
Chiku, Prunus, and Uchikai:????
Chiku was the first to react. She frowned and looked at the horse charging towards them. In front of the horse was the teenager with the Explode clone. Chiku's face changed. "Asakura -san, that must be coming for you!"
An Qiu nodded and moved at the same time as Prunus and Uchikai. She whispered, "I didn't expect that IQ trash to be able to advance."
Prunus giggled. "An Qiu, where is your image management?"
"Asakura Yasuaki!
You bastard, how dare you ignore me!!
I will make you suffer now! "
The Explode clone had a ferocious expression on his face. He was only in charge of the horse, but for some reason, he was leading the entire horse.
An Qiu looked at him with disdain. "... Almond!"
Prunus understood. "Got it!"
Bai Jian suddenly stopped and used his right hand to spray a large amount of clay towards the Exploding Grand Steed that was charging towards them. The clay blocked their vision and instantly restricted their footsteps. As for Anqiu, she nimbly squatted down a little. When Zhi Zhu reacted, she quickly used the Spider's Web Spitting Skill to snatch away the headbands that could be snatched.
"... We got the headband!" Uchikai was delighted. They did not expect to achieve such a result at the beginning of the competition.
Chiku, who got the headband, was stunned. When she decided to follow Uchikai to this team, she was prepared to carry. She did not expect that Asakura Yasuaki's dynamic vision was better than hers at the beginning of the competition. Also, Prunus was more decisive in using his personality...
Was this the result of the "last place" plan?
Knowing that Zhu Yan had tightened his headband, a happy smile appeared on his face. "Then let's continue attacking according to this tune!
Prunus, you did a great job just now! "
Prunus nodded happily and ran at the same time as Uchikai. If the Explode clone succeeded in getting rid of the clay, he would come back to take the headband back.
After that, the girl's team of four managed to snatch the lead from many teams that were left behind. Gradually, they climbed to the fourth place in the Eleven Teams.
"... We did it!
There are only five minutes left. If we keep this up, we will have a chance to advance! "
Uchikai's eyes were full of joy. Although there were many dangerous moments just now, they did not lose the headband, so their score kept going up.
Prunus was also happy. But just as she was about to say something, she felt something tugging on the top of her head. When she came back to her senses, the headband on her forehead was gone. Prunus was shocked and immediately looked at the culprit. "Knife-cutting -san!"
An Qiu frowned and called out in a low voice, "Apricot trees!"
Prunus's heart skipped a beat. She immediately came back to her senses. "Sorry... I didn't notice!"
Knife-cutting was now in second place. He smiled and shook the Prunus headband in his hand. The total score was 500 points. Prunus's ranking on the screen dropped by two places. When Knife-cutting saw that his team's ranking had increased, he left contentedly.
Prunus looked nervous. She hurriedly looked at An Qiu and asked, "What should we do?"
An Qiu looked at her and glanced at the screen. There were only four minutes left. "Of course we have to get the headband back!
We have to get Knife-cutting's headband back! "
She frowned. Boys in their adolescence were really troublesome. Didn't Knife-cutting's team have more than enough points?
Why did they have to bully Prunus?
Chiku Saito hesitated. "But Knife-cutting's team has super high mobility. They have run far away. We can't catch up with them!
Would it be better for us to attack other teams? "
Uchikai looked around. "But Chiku, the teams around here are not to be trifled with!
There are not many teams with more than 500 points left! "
Prunus was about to cry. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"
An Qiu frowned. Her black eyes stared at Knife-cutting's team. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Prunus and Uchikai's hands. "Hold my hand!"
Prunus and Sharkie immediately did as told. Even Chiku immediately put her hand on An Qiu's shoulder.
An Qiu took a deep breath and immediately rushed forward. "Almond, Saito, attack as soon as you come back to your senses!"
"Got it!"
Although Prunus did not know what was going to happen next, she thought that An Qiu would think about it. She nodded seriously.
An Qiu did not waste any time. She immediately took a step forward. After that, the other three girls felt their vision go dark. When they came back to their senses, the four of them were already in front of Knife-cutting. The three girls came back to their senses and immediately understood — this was teleportation!
It turned out that An Qiu was aiming for her personality!
"Almond!"
But this was not the time to be surprised. An Qiu called out in a low voice. Her face immediately turned pale after she used her teleportation ability.
Prunus remembered An Qiu's order. She immediately launched clay balls at Knife-cutting's team. Not only that, she also threw clay birds out. The birds circled around Knife-cutting's feet leisurely. It seemed to be useless. Knife-cutting was so angry that he immediately summoned a knife from his hand and cut the clay birds into two.
At the same time, Prunus immediately called out Saito's name. "Saito -san!"
Chiku frowned. Then, she saw that Prunus' clay birds suddenly exploded after being cut by Knife-cutting. Knife-cutting was so shocked that his hand tilted slightly, causing the horse to lose its center of gravity. Chiku took the opportunity to snatch the two headbands from the "human".
"Got it!"
Saito checked the headbands in her hand. They were worth 350 points and 400 points respectively. It was enough. "Run!
Prunus, Uchikai! "
An Qiu did not say anything. "It's too slow to run like that!"
Without saying anything, she grabbed the team's hand and used teleportation again. She teleported the four of them, including herself, to a blind spot in the field.
Knife-cutting's team was too mobile. It was hard to guarantee that they would immediately attack them after they stabilized their center of gravity. Therefore, they had to quickly put some distance between them and the team.
There were still many teams in the field that were still struggling. It just so happened that each team had an opponent. Therefore, as long as they ran in a direction that no one was paying attention to, they would be able to win.
After the teleportation, An Qiu looked at the distance between herself and the Knife-cutting team with satisfaction. She panted again.
...
"The second round of the horse riding battle is over."
After the four girls steadied themselves, Midnight Sensei announced again. Looking at the conspicuous fourth place on the screen, the four girls breathed a sigh of relief. Chiku immediately jumped down from her horse, breaking the horse riding posture that she had maintained for more than ten minutes.
"Asakura -san, your personality is too convenient!" Chiku said gratefully to Asakura after returning to the ground. She did not mean any harm.
"Thank you … Asakura -san!" Uchikai was also grateful. "If it weren't for you at the critical moment, we would have lost!"
Bai Jian looked at An Qiu's side profile, which was filled with determination, and her heart beat faster and faster. Could it be that An Qiu was really working so hard for her?
In the horse riding battle just now, An Qiu showed strength that she had never seen before!
"Thank you … Ahn Chiu-chan," Prunus said softly and shook An Qiu's sleeve. Her eyes were full of sincere gratitude to An Qiu.
"It's okay."
An Qiu lowered her head and felt her stamina rapidly depleting. Although she hated the feeling of exhaustion, it turned out that the feeling of successfully advancing with Prunus and the others was very good.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curved up without her noticing.
Although, if Explode -senpai saw how hard she worked just now, he would definitely laugh at her.

After school, Class 2-A.
More than half of the first semester of Xiong Ying had passed. Most of the second-year students' actual combat training courses were over, and the rest were basically theoretical classes to strengthen their knowledge of Heroes.
There was a reason for this. The main event of the first semester, the Sports Festival, was approaching, and everyone's preparation for the Sports Festival was different. Therefore, the school deliberately arranged for the second-year students to reduce the burden of actual combat training courses and let them practice independently.
