Chapter 66 - The Hopes of the Teachers

n
nMeanwhile, Team Moss had come out of the Violent Wild Boar Mystic Realm on White Deer High’s playground. Team Moss anxiously looked at the summary panel that showed each team’s results.
n
nThe other two teams also came out of the Mystic Realm shortly after. “Moss, we still can’t catch up to Team Mill and Team Bass at this rate!” Alan said anxiously with a frown after looking at the summary panel.
n
nEll stared at the data on the summary panel with widened eyes. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Captain Moss, we just about finished the mission in an hour. Team Bass completed their one-star Mystic Realm mission in forty-five minutes while Team Mill finished their mission in thirty-five minutes!”
n
nOf course, Moss had also seen the other teams’ performance on the summary panel. Moreover, Moss discovered that the members of Team Mill and Team Bass had made some adjustments. Their overall levels were also higher.
n
nIt looked like those teams had received good attention. Moreover, there was a high chance that the teachers would select these two new teams to represent White Deer High in the competition. Thinking of this, Moss felt it was time to make a change.
n
nMoss looked at the two-star Mystic Realm and said with a stern expression, “Let’s try the two-star Mystic Realm…” Before he could finish speaking, his teammates looked at him, their faces full of fear as their jaws hit the ground.
n
n“M-Moss…”
n
nThe director approached Moss with a smile. He witnessed Team Moss’s performance, and although there was still a gap between Team Moss and the others, it was great that they could achieve such results without a strong mage on their team. Therefore, the director thought it necessary to make adjustments to Team Moss.
n
nBefore the director reached Moss, his unique voice sounded, “Moss, we will make adjustments to your team based on your performance.”
n
nThe director continued to speak without waiting for Team Moss to say anything, “Dartmouth Koss and Wine Mage Moore, you two move to the third team. Water Element Summoner Baylon and Assassin Kohler, move to Team Moss.”
n
nAfter that, the director nodded at Moss. Alan couldn’t hide his excitement when he heard that the director had made adjustments to their team. He jumped and cheered, “That’s awesome!”
n
nEll was also excited. She became teary-eyed and nodded.
n
nWhen Moss heard the director’s words, he looked at the bronze door behind the director. He became more determined, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
n
nThe director saw how Moss looked at the two-star Mystic Realm’s bronze door and knew that Moss wanted to go for the two-star Mystic Realm.
n
nHowever, the director knew how complex the two-star Mystic Realm was, so he said with concern, “Moss, it’s good that you dare to give things a try, but you have to make sure you’re prepared. You can always go to the one-and-a-half-star Mystic Realm and experience that before going into the two-star Mystic Realm.”
n
nMoss didn’t hesitate when he heard the director’s words, especially after the director had adjusted his teammates. He insisted on going into the two-star Mystic Realm to test the abilities of a Grand Knight.
n
nBut Moss heard the director’s concerns, so he replied gratefully, “Thank you for your concern, Director. But I want the challenge!”
n
nThe director got excited. Indeed, in the face of a strong enemy, one should brave the dangers and accept challengers. “I commend you for your courage, Moss! I am rooting for you!”
n
nMoss thanked the director and led his teammates to the two-star Mystic Realm bronze door. Even though Alan and Ell were afraid of the two-star Mystic Realm, they believed in Moss’s decision, so they followed closely.
n
nAlthough Baylon and Kohler were hesitant at first, the director’s words ignited the courage in their hearts. Coupled with their competitive spirit and youth, the two followed the trio into the two-star Mystic Realm.
n
n…
n
nMeanwhile, in White Deer High’s large conference room, the teachers looked at the big screen with great interest and discussed intensely among themselves. The main topic of discussion was still which team member could represent White Deer high in the upcoming annual school professional competition.
n
nThe teachers had already made their final selections, but there were quite a few unexpected factors. The teachers in the conference room discussed intensely.
n
n“Team Mill has performed excellently, especially Mill’s outstanding fireball skill! She has a remarkable ability to lead her team. I’m looking forward to seeing her in the annual school professional competition.”
n
n“Bass is also performing well. As the grandson of the Black Earl Archer family, he awakened as a Crossbow Master. His long-range attack power is amazing for his age.”
n
n“Moss and Bass are the ones to watch.”
n
n“Yeah, Bass and Mill are performing very well. They led their teams in the previous one-star Mystic Realm test, killing the Mystic Realm boss. They displayed outstanding performances.”
n
n“I’m looking forward to seeing their combination in the competition. Mill and Bass also come from good families.”
n
n“I think Moss is doing well, too, since he’s brave and resourceful. Moss dared to lead his team into the two-star Mystic Realm. After the director added a Water Element Summoner, Team Moss should coordinate better. They managed to last thirty minutes.”
n
n“In terms of individual ability, Moss is qualified to be top ten on the list. However, Moss is still only a Knight. A Knight’s innate flaw is pronounced. Also, he doesn’t come from a great family. The chances of him surprising us in the annual school professional competition are slim. I wouldn’t expect too much from him.”
n
n“You have a point, but it would be meaningful for Moss to participate in this year’s competition. The Knight’s spirit in Moss can bring a more significant influence to our school. In addition, gaining experience from the competition would benefit his future growth.”
n
nMost teachers were more optimistic toward Mill and Bass despite the intense discussions. Several teachers continuously spoke highly of Mill and Bass. But the teachers didn’t expect much from Moss whenever they mentioned him.
n
nMiss Aisha knew Moss very well since she was his teacher. She looked forward to Moss’s performance. She wanted to say something but couldn’t find the right opportunity.
n
nThe director saw that Miss Aisha tried to speak a few times but couldn’t get a word in edgewise. He guessed what Miss Aisha was thinking, so he looked at Miss Aisha and said clearly, “Speak, Miss Aisha. We want to hear your opinions too.”
n
nThe teachers in the conference room immediately quieted down when they heard the director’s words. They all looked at Miss Aisha expectantly.
n
nSeeing as the director and teachers looked at her, Miss Aisha no longer hesitated to speak. She puffed out her chest and looked at the others determinedly.
n
n“I watched Moss grow throughout the years. He has a rock-solid foundation already. Although he’s only a Knight, he can display his skills to the fullest. Since Moss has surprised us repeatedly, it can only mean that he is a pioneer among his peers at their current stage.”
n
n“In this selection segment, Moss has shown us the courage and intense psychological quality in the face of difficulties. These are essential factors in winning large-scale competitions.”
n
n“Therefore, I look forward to Moss displaying his chivalrous spirit in the upcoming annual school professional competition, bringing glory to White Deer High.”
n
nThe director was immersed in deep thought as he looked at Miss Aisha and nodded in satisfaction.
n
nThe camera continued to pan, and the five teams had finished their mission and exited the Mystic Realms one after another.
n
nHowever, the students felt varying emotions as they walked out of the Mystic Realms. Some felt highly confident, while others were worried. Some of the students were even discouraged.
