Chapter 675: Advancing To The Semi Finals

After losing that important match to the Judge Academy, Dawn Academy was even with the Americans on the standings. In the Japanese match after, they won again. Xiao Lins performance was still very ordinary, but thanks to them being the hosts and the Japanese academy not being exceptionally skilled, they won a hard fought victory.

After that, the final away match saw them go against the Turkish academy. Dawn Academy once again fumbled the bag, and they lost to the Turkish academy.

The match caused a lot of the spectators to voice their dissatisfaction, and they suspected the skill of the so-called elite first-years. That was because the Turkish academy had actually been very weak during that match, especially because the necromancer leader, Said, did not make an appearance. On top of that, the Turkish academy had already been relegated, so the whole team actually adopted a vacationing attitude.

Even so, the Turkish still won.

Xiao Lins performance affected the whole team again. On top of that, their teamwork was not as good as their opponents, so they lost in the team battles.

The group stages of the tournament finally ended. Based on their position in the group rounds, Dawn Academy still advanced to the semi finals after losing two rounds. In truth, the student union and Dawn Academys upper management had not been that confident in the tournament. After all, their best results in recent years had all been making the top four, and sometimes they did not even advance past the group stages.

So, the result might not have been great, but it still was not too disappointing. It was only that, after the group stages concluded, the academys forums were filled with a large amount of mocking.

Its fine if we lose to Judge Academy; after all, they are regarded as the best academy. However, losing to the Turkish was too embarrassing!

I watched the match against the Turkish. The Turkish were very weak. Their leader didnt even make an appearance. They were obviously throwing the match. How could we have lost that!

Im beginning to wonder how the elites were chosen.

It was probably all nepotism! Especially that one called Xiao Lin. Do you all know how many classes hes missed? Can you imagine how someone like that was chosen, and even named the leader?

Xiao Lin? He seemed pretty decent during the first round against Judge Academy. I heard that he was very good at medicinal studies.

He was just lucky!

Discussions like that popped up in every corner. Comparatively, Dawn Academys first win against Judge Academy had turned into them just being lucky that the Americans were throwing the match. That was because, to a lot of them, they could accept losing to Judge Academy, but they could not handle losing to the Turkish.

To those who knew about the past results of Dawn Academy, they felt that Dawn Academy would only be able to get to the top four.

Among the top four, other than Dawn Academy and Judge Academy, the other two teams that advanced were the Royal British Academy and the Russian Voyna Akademiya. Dawn Academys opponents would be the Royal British Academy.

As one of the original academies, the British also had their glorious points in history. Even though they had been slowly overtaken by Judge Academy later on, the British still had a stronger foundation than Dawn Academy. Their skills were also better, and their overall strength had always exceeded Dawn Academys.

Basically, you shouldnt burden yourself too much. No matter what the final result is, were all prepared for it. The student union president had called Xiao Lin over for some words of encouragement. He knew why Xiao Lin had been so depressed, but there were some things that he could not say. As the president, his responsibilities were limited to the academy; outside of it, he was nothing

Other than that, each round from now on will be a must-win. There wont be anymore home and away matches, and all the matches will be held in the New World. In the New World, Yu Mei will be in charge of all of you, so you can look for her if you have any issues.

Also, please fill in these forms. Department Head Song asked me to hand them to you, but hes been away for the last two days.

The well-mannered president had said so much in one go, but Xiao Lin did not react that much. However, he was slightly stunned when he saw the forms. They were application forms, and the forms were called student parent registration forms. The contents asked for his parents overall situation, such as education, occupation, age, and health.

It was a very ordinary form, but it caused Xiao Lin to think of something. After mulling over it, he sighed and asked, Is this all necessary?

This isnt something we can change. Its something that has been in the works for a long time, and has been fermenting in recent years. We can all only accept the reality that is coming. The presidents words were very vague, but he knew that Xiao Lin could understand.

Xiao Lin did understand. What was happening on Earth, or what would be happening, was something incredibly shocking for him, but it was not to some other people. Those of them who had been in the colonies for years, or maybe even decades or centuries, had either already started to forget about Earth, or were already mentally prepared. They might have some dissatisfaction toward the notion, but it was not completely unacceptable.

Xiao Lin did not continue speaking, and quietly filled in the form. He knew that this was Song Junlangs promise to him, bringing his parents to the New World. Of course, he knew as well that he would not be the only person who filled up that form. However, to those of them who were not prepared, what was coming was going to be a disaster.

However, Xiao Lin held back, and did not hand it the form immediately. He brought back a few more to the dormitory. The president knew what he was doing, and silently accepted it, but before Xiao Lin left he added, Dont dwell on it too much. Even though a lot of people wont be able to stop it, at least we can save something. I cant speak of anything else, but I can at least guarantee that the core academies will be able to have some assurances.

A few days after Xiao Lin received the forms, a lot of the monitors received them as well. They did not know what it meant, and no one provided them with any explanations, so they only obediently filled the forms in.

If Earth was really going to be faced with destruction, then those forms were the final ticket to Norma. Only, before that day came, other than a very small number, most of the students did not know the value of those tickets.

Xiao Lin naturally did not go around talking too much, but he still looked for Gu Xiaoyue, Cheng Ming, and the others, and repeatedly told them that they had to earnestly fill in those forms.

It might be due to his poor performance in the past few matches, but Gu Xiaoyues expression was not great. However, that intelligent girl did not blame Xiao Lin for it. After being kidnapped by Li Cheng, Gu Xiaoyue also realized something. Even though she did not tell Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin had guessed it as well.

Gu Xiaoyue filled in the form with a complicated feeling. Her only relative was Gu Chengyun, but the womans legs were disabled. The New World required a lot of physical activity, and even Xiao Lin wondered if the girl would be able to adapt.

Gu Xiaoyues worries were not limited to that; filling in the form might mean that she was throwing her sister into a dangerous land, but if she did not, she might just be sentencing her to death.

They were two difficult choices, but if Gu Chengyuns legs could be cured, it might allow the girl to adapt better.

Gu Xiaoyues dilemma finally caused Xiao Lin to push his thoughts and problems to the back of his mind. No matter what, winning this tournament and obtaining the final prize was incredibly important to Gu Chengyun, so he had to win.
