[Wohoooo — The venue is ready. Let's welcome the players of the second game, Misss Asakura and Mr. Kobayashi!]
"Ahn Chiu-chan,
Come on! "
After being carried backstage on a stretcher, Prunus, who passed by An Qiu, reached out to her with a smile, as if it wanted to exchange players.
"… Hmm." Anqiu gave Bai Jian a high five with a blank expression as he brushed past her.
Her gaze lingered on Prunus's satisfied expression for a second, then she turned around and walked back to the venue.
"… Don't lose." Prunus stopped her meaningfully, "I'll watch from the lounge."
"Of course."
With her back to Prunus, An Qiu smiled — Prunus had worked so hard, she couldn't give up so easily.
…
She exchanged players with Prunus.
An Qiu, who was neatly dressed in a sports suit, slowly walked onto the stage under the applause and cheers.
"… This child is very beautiful!
Where did she come from? "
"I've been paying attention to her since the horse riding battle!"
"I want to nominate this child to the firm!"
"You're going for the looks, right? Hahahaha!"
…
Seeing a newcomer who had just debuted,
In the audience, the headhunters from the hero firms began to discuss An Qiu. Because she wasn't used to and didn't like the feeling of being stared at by everyone around her, even An Qiu, who was known for her calmness, couldn't help but have a stiff expression.
Fortunately,
The audience's attention on An Qiu was quickly taken away by her opponent — not long after An Qiu went on the stage,
A tall and handsome boy with wheat-colored skin leisurely entered the venue from the entrance directly in front of her.
At the same time,
The applause and cheers reached another peak. It was as if everyone had come to see her opponent.
This was the reaction of the audience.
An Qiu looked up with interest and met the man's eyes again. She remembered that his name was Kobayashi Tomoshu or something.
Just now, Teacher Mike was too noisy, so she covered her ears and completely missed the introduction of her opponent …
Oh.
Then what was the reason why the live audience was so eager to see him?
Looking at his face?
An Qiu tilted her head.
His eyes were somewhat indifferent.
Although the young man in front of her was tall and handsome, his wheat-colored skin was a little too much. He looked just like a wooden stake. An Qiu's questions were answered in the next moment from Teacher Mike's narration.
[OH
My！
Under everyone's thunderous applause, Mr. Kobayashi finally revealed his true identity — he was as handsome as his Uncle Might Of The Jungle, who was ranked No. 7!
Although he's still a little bit worse than me … I wonder how strong he is?
Let DJ Mike tell everyone in advance. It's said that Mr. Kobayashi's strength is also first-class in the Department of Heroes —]
An Qiu suddenly understood. So, the uncle of the handsome boy in front of her was a famous hero?
When she came to her senses, she looked at Kobayashi Tomoshu helplessly. She clearly wanted to pass the competition inconspicuously, but she was unlucky enough to draw such a celebrity opponent …
[… Powerful and popular hero's relative VS a beauty whose strength is a mystery — a collision of good looks, who will win and who will lose —?!]
Mike -Sensei talked about Mike, and his DJ soul exploded. The sound waves became louder and louder, and at the same time, the atmosphere of the scene was heated up. An Qiu pulled her fingers with a look of disgust, and with great difficulty, she suppressed the urge to plug her ears in front of the whole country's audience.
Kobayashi Tomoshu, who was enjoying the applause of the audience, finally reacted. He lowered his cold eyes and raised his hands again — seeing Kobayashi Tomoshu's action, the noisy discussion of the audience suddenly stopped, and brought a brief moment of silence to An Qiu's ears.
Then, Kobayashi said in a flat tone, "I am me, not Might Of The Jungle.
Please focus on my strength. "After that, the audience paused for a moment, and then immediately applauded and cheered.
[OH！
What a hardcore speech!
I wonder if Might Of The Jungle saw it?
Well then — let's watch Mr. Kobayashi's wonderful appeal together!]
Mike -Sensei was also in a very high mood.
An Qiu: [… Why am I so tired before it even starts?]
…
No one knew how many NC fans Kobayashi gained at that moment. They only knew that after his speech, An Qiu VS Kobayashi officially began.
"Sorry, even if you are a girl, I won't go easy on you."
Kobayashi squatted down, his two wheat-colored hands by his side, and his brown eyes locked onto An Qiu, like a beast that saw its prey.
An Qiu was stunned for a moment. She adjusted her breathing and gestured for him to get ready — a look of 'bring it on.'
After that, Kobayashi immediately reached out to attack. His personality was the same as Might Of The Jungle's. He could turn his body into a tree and attack or defend at will. Because of this, he could attack An Qiu who was standing tens of meters away from him just by standing there.
The rules of the competition were that the winner would be the one who pushed the opponent out of the arena. He wasn't that aggressive. Since his opponent was a girl, his goal was naturally to use his personality to catch her, and then throw her out of the arena.
[Mr. Kobayashi suddenly started to attack fiercely. I wonder how Miss Asakura will deal with this attack!?
Can she dodge it?]
An Qiu gradually got used to Mike -Sensei's deafening narration. Naturally, she could dodge it easily. How many times had she practiced with Explode?
She could easily dodge this kind of attack that wasn't meant to kill her. She didn't even need to use her personality.
An Qiu calmly dodged Kobayashi's tree branch attacks with a few backflips. In the last wave of attacks, she broke one of Kobayashi's tree branches with a kick and held it in her hand. An Qiu didn't feel safe without a weapon in her hand, so she casually used her opponent's weapon.
Kobayashi was stunned. He looked at his personality that was casually "borrowed", and then looked at An Qiu with admiration. For a girl, she had a strong sense of battle and was very decisive.
"Looks like you have some skills …" Kobayashi smiled and raised his right hand. "Then I'll be a little more serious!"
An Qiu still didn't say anything. She held the tree branch in her hand with a serious expression.
…
"That bastard, he's unexpectedly serious."
Outside the arena, the person who had arrived at the venue of the first years crossed his arms and looked calmly at the black-haired girl standing in the arena. He clearly remembered that this girl had told him no less than ten times that she would be "eliminated in the first round".
Didn't she climb to the third round?
Could it be that something happened?
Bao Hao looked at her determined side profile and saw that she suddenly became serious as if she had changed into a different person. That contrast caused him to have some undetectable feelings of concern in his heart.
He really couldn't figure out what that damned woman was thinking.
…
After that warning, Xiao Lin had clearly increased the speed and intensity of his attacks. Tree branches would burst out from time to time, but An Qiu was able to dodge them all.
"… You're not going to use your personality?"
Kobayashi looked up in surprise. He continued to attack from the same spot and looked at An Qiu, who had been dodging his attacks. An Qiu bent her body to escape, but her black eyes didn't dare to relax as she stared at Kobayashi's movements. She thought that it was almost time, because her dodging was about to be unable to keep up with his attacks. If she didn't use her personality, she probably wouldn't be able to get close to him.
"Conserving your strength isn't what you should do on the arena."
Kobayashi was annoyed by An Qiu's lukewarm attitude. Thinking of this, he suddenly increased the intensity of his personality. The tree branches that were attacking An Qiu quickly changed their attack trajectory as if they were alive.
An Qiu cursed. No matter how fast she was, she would not be able to dodge this attack. She subconsciously increased the speed of her legs, trying to find a way to solve the problem. However, Xiao Lin still managed to grab her calf with a branch, and she was hung upside down by him.
An Qiu was shocked. She subconsciously reached out with the branch in her right hand to cut Kobayashi's vine branches, but the branches grew so fast that she knelt down. The branches snaked up her right leg like snakes and tightly wrapped around her body.
"Ugh!"
She furrowed her brows and let go of the branch in her right hand. She tried her best to pry the branches off her body, but she couldn't move them at all. The claws of the branches were too strong. Once Xiao Lin fixed the shape of the branches, she couldn't pry them off.
She gradually showed an expression of discomfort.
"… The winner has been decided."
Kobayashi said with a poker face. He didn't expect An Qiu to not use her personality at this point. This really surprised him. But no matter what, he didn't care about her feelings or the reason for her choice. Since she was caught by him, he could just throw her out of the arena and win the game.
[After five minutes of tug-of-war, he finally caught her. Mr. Kobayashi used his personality in an instant and easily captured Miss Asakura. What's going to happen next?
Is this the end of the game?!]
Following Teacher Mike's timely commentary, the audience's faces gradually showed a bored expression.
It seemed that the outcome of this battle had been decided. Even An Qiu was helpless against the tree branch in Xiao Lin's hand.
"She's still not going to use her personality at this point?!
That damned woman! "
Unknowingly, the tycoon, who had moved from an inconspicuous position to the front row, gripped the railing angrily. He was so angry that his face turned into a white inverted triangle. What the hell was she thinking?
She really knew how to embarrass him!
Let's see if I don't teach her a lesson after the game!
Explode was angry. Sparks began to appear on his hands again.
Dehisa, who suddenly saw Explode not far away, trembled. She seemed to have seen something strange watching the game.
Erlang: I feel like I have a new target to tease.
Reishi: It's the smell of gossip!
Feng Da hugged Che Island and trembled. I knew Explode was up to no good!
Isn't he here to watch the game?!
Explode smiled helplessly when he saw Explode's anxious and angry expression. He and Prunus knew best about the relationship between Explode and Asakura Yasuaki. Explode was probably worried about Asakura at this moment.
After all, his anxiety was written all over his face.
…

…
The first round of the steeplechase elimination round had ended. Next was the second round of the group elimination round.
Like last year, this year's group elimination round was still a four-person riding battle. It was a battle for the headband, in which the three people in the front, left, and right would join hands to become the "horse" and cooperate with the "person" on top.
Because it was the "Xiong Ying Version" of the horse riding battle, the competition was as bloody as it could be. The personality compatibility of the selected group was also the key to victory.
Prunus and An Qiu quickly found their teammates — Yuko Uchikai and Chiku Saito from the same class.
Yuko Uchikai also participated in the senior's plan, and Chiku Saito was her good friend.
In fact, for a team like 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.
"Well, my personality is that of a shark. My habits are basically the same as a shark's, so my abilities are better in the water. For example, my protective color and underwater sense of smell … On land, my advantages are basically my sharp teeth and relatively hard body …" Uchikai explained very honestly, and then lowered his head a little submissively. Unlike his personality, he was more easily timid.
"Uchikai's body also has scales!" Prunus blinked and said in surprise.
"Those are shield scales. They're relatively hard and can resist ordinary damage."
Uchikai tilted his head and explained seriously, "But my physical fitness isn't that good … so Chiku's joining us is really a big help."
Chiku Saito patted Uchikai's shoulder in a friendly manner and smiled warmly, "It's okay, Uchikai. We'll definitely advance!"
Chiku Saito was a top student in Class 1-A. Her personality was the same as Uchikai's, both of them were zoological. Her personality was "spider", which allowed her to do everything a spider could do. Among them, her most commonly used move was "silk spitting", which would definitely play a big role in horse riding. Her physical fitness and mobility were also high, so she was invited by several teams just now.
"My personality is" door ". I can teleport myself to a place within a certain range, and if you come into contact with me, I can 'teleport' you all together."
An Qiu looked down at her hands and opened and closed them, "So, in order to have a more comprehensive view, I hope to be the 'horse' in front."
Uchikai nodded and looked at Chiku, "Then Chiku will be the 'person'!
Your silk spitting will definitely help us get the headband … so, Prunus and I will be the left and right wings. "
Prunus had no objections and immediately nodded in agreement.
With this, the roles of the horse riding battle were very clear. After the four girls had more or less finished 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 seriously, "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 nodded in agreement. Only An Qiu, as the one in front, made a worrisome declaration, "Sorry … but the opponent is coming soon." And it was the kind that was charging 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 that was charging at them. The one in front of the horse was the young man with the Explode hairstyle … Chiku's expression changed, "Asakura -san, he 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 idiot to advance."
Prunus giggled, "An Qiu, where's your image management?"
