350 Special Action Operation Team!

The two matches in Zone B got postponed due to the spatial rifts’ sudden appearances. Even so, those paying attention to Moss and Kyoto were not idle.

Among them were the leaders of the Magical Beast Emergency Defense Center. Hugo immediately called the office assistant after watching the footage the competition staff had sent him.

“Prepare a report for me immediately. I want to inform the director and recommend Moss to the God Wind Special ops team.” Hugo’s eyes shone as he spoke firmly.

“Huh?” The assistant was stunned.

After a long while, she finally recovered and asked in shock, Deputy Director Hugo, Moss is too young. It’s already an exception for him to be in the secret special ops team!

“Shenfeng had to deal with crucial matters. To join Shenfeng, one must be in the covert special ops unit for at least three years, and one’s achievements must be in the group’s top three.”

“Of course, I know that, but I think Moss can play a greater role in the God Wind Special ops team. Go and prepare according to my instructions. I have arrangements for other matters.” Hugo laughed, his eyes full of light.

He liked Moss too much. He had been paying attention to Moss’s progress since discovering he had gone to participate in the competition. Hugo had repeatedly watched all of Moss’s matches.

He could even say that every match brought him surprises, especially in the team matches when Moss displayed Absolute Defense in various uses. Since then, Hugo thought of letting Moss join the God Wind Special Ops team.

Hugo was even more confident of his idea when Moss fought against the Magical Beasts that appeared from the spatial rifts. However, Hugo knew the director might not approve his report even if he submitted it.

Still, Hugo wanted to try.

…

Although Eastern University’s arena had gotten destroyed, after a day and a half of Eastern University’s unremitting efforts and joint support from Z City’s Education Department and society from all walks of life, the Shenlu Martial Arts Arena could finally continue with the competition.

However, Eastern University had not completed repairing the place where the spatial rift had appeared to its original appearance. Instead, they built the new structure and walls to look like a spatial rift.

There was an eye-catching giant golden monument in the southwest corner of people’s names who had contributed to their battle against the Magical Beasts.

The names included presidents, judges, participants, and fearless spectators’ from various high schools. As soon as the audience saw the new southwest corner, it quickly became their topic of discussion.

“Look, the names of Kyoto’s team members are so high up.”

“Under Bishop’s leadership, Kyoto’s performance in the battle against the beasts was outstanding. It’s only natural for their names to be at the top.”

“That’s right. Since Kyoto has contributed so much, their names should be at the top.”

…

The audience’s discussion was enthusiastic at the mention of Kyoto.

When someone saw Moss and Bishop’s names in the top row, they could not help but shout in joy, “Look, Moss and Bishop’s names are at the top!”

Upon hearing that, the audience members under the giant monument looked up.

“Wow, it seems like the public has sharp eyes. Captain Bishop saved me.”

“Yeah, me too!”

…

“Moss’s performance was also apparent to all. His shields played a considerable role in the encirclement, and he was like a God of Death, killing dozens of beasts by himself!”

“I didn’t expect Moss’s attack to be so powerful. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

“What a pity. If it weren’t for Captain Bishop’s injuries, Kyoto would be this year’s champion.”

“It’s all our fault. We were stunned, and Captain Bishop got ambushed by a beast while trying to protect us. Later, I discovered that a Magical Spirit Spider had poisoned Captain Bishop. Now he can’t participate in the rest of the competition.”

“Tomorrow is the semi-final match between Kyoto and Eastern University. Captain Bishop should be able to participate again after a few days of rest.’

“I hope Captain Bishop can recover soon and lead Kyoto on a winning spree.”

…

As many audience members thought the mighty Captain Bishop could still compete in the next day’s match, someone shattered their last glimmer of hope.

“Didn’t you guys see Kyoto’s official website? Last night at 10:30, they announced that Captain Bishop would be absent from all upcoming matches.”

“The organizing committee for the competition also announced this news at the same time last night.”

“Yeah.”

Upon hearing this, the audience sighed, especially after learning of Moss’s strength in the battle against the beasts. People marveled at Kyoto’s terrifying strength and felt even more sorry for them.

…

The competition quickly resumed after dealing with the beasts, greatly rousing the audience’s enthusiasm.

The arena, which could initially accommodate a hundred thousand people, could now accommodate less, so many audience members brought their stools while some chose to stand and watch instead.

The enthusiastic atmosphere also profoundly affected even the Kyoto team, who watched the competition in the lounge. Everyone’s blood was boiling. However, faced with such a high atmosphere, some team members began to worry.

“Moss, there must be more people in the match against Eastern University tomorrow.” Nat blinked her big eyes and spoke softly with a frown, “This is Their home ground. They have the right time, place, and supporters. We can only face the host team actively.”

Moss smiled as he looked at Nat and said, “It’s pressure but also our motivation. Let’s see how we handle this.”

“Moss, you’re always full of confidence no matter what. I can learn a lot from it.” Nat looked at Moss with adoration, her tone pertinent.

“At least we can’t lose in terms of momentum.” Moss laughed before quickly turning severe. “As Professor Brady said, we’re the reigning champions, so we must behave as such.”

He clenched his fists tightly as he spoke.

“Yes, yes.” Nat nodded vigorously, then said nothing more as she watched the competition in silence.

Although she was quiet, Moss could see from Nat’s eyes that her current self had become more fearless, confident, and battle-ready.

Moss said nothing else when he noticed this—instead, he fixed his eyes on the match between Shanghai University and Changjiang University.

‘No wonder it’s a top-10 University. Changjiang has forced Shanghai into a corner.’ The intense match stirred Moss’s emotions.

After all, the top three universities were capable. They would only display their true strength if it were critical. If this continued, Kyoto’s opponent for this year’s finals would likely be them.

Moss became even more focused at the thought of this.
