Saturday, seven o 'clock at night.
On the internet, the forums of all the major League of Legends forums were filled with hot topics. Threads were popping up one after another, and the topics were all centered around the same thing —
"Two Japanese clubs have arrived in Seoul, Korea!"
"Rumor has it that two small Japanese teams have begun to contact Fate and Warrior!"
"SSK is keeping quiet for now. They may not choose to accept the Japanese team's exchange request."
"New news! Fate Club has released an announcement that Team Two will be taking over the Japanese team's exchange. "
"SSK's manager has accepted an interview, stating that the team is preparing for war, and has declined all exchange activities."
All sorts of information threads, coupled with the heated discussions of countless players and netizens, caused this topic to go viral. Many netizens even found the official League of Legends forums in Japan and found the most accurate first-hand announcement —
Indeed, at 6: 15 that night, the two Japanese clubs, from players to managers to coaches and translators, had all boarded the same flight and arrived in Seoul, Korea. They had already contacted the first club, Fate, and would be visiting Fate's training base in the next two days.
The netizens who had received the exact information subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.
Holy sh * t.
Fate Team!
They were the second strongest team in Korea after SSK, and they had the "Moon Empress" Moon as their leader. They didn't expect these two Japanese teams to be so powerful. If they could learn from Fate Team, it would definitely be a valuable learning opportunity.
"But didn't they say that Fate would only send Team Two to receive them?"
Some netizens expressed their opinions:
"If it's just Fate's Team Two, then it's not that exaggerated."
However, most netizens held different attitudes and viewpoints.
"So what if it's Team Two? The second team of the Korean clubs is also very strong!"
"Fate's Team Two is also ranked at the top of the NLB League. If they were on our server … To be honest, they would be enough to compete with a few LPL teams."
"I don't think so, but they are definitely much stronger than the teams in our LSPL League."
"Sending Team Two to receive the Japanese team should be enough."
Amidst the discussion, a netizen casually said, "
"Speaking of which, I haven't heard of any Japanese clubs coming to our place for an exchange —"
This was quickly drowned out by all sorts of comments: "Coming to China? That's impossible. " "Putting national sentiment aside, the development of our local LOL scene is much worse than that of North America and Europe. They chose Korea first, so there's no reason for them to choose us second." "That's right, their official website said that they're going to Korea. It has nothing to do with us."
However, what almost no one knew was …
On the same night, at 7: 15, exactly an hour after the two Japanese clubs arrived in Seoul, Korea —
China, Shanghai, Shanghai.
At Pudong International Airport, a flight from Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan slowly landed amid a violent roar.
The passengers of this flight walked down the gangway in the night.
A pair of plain white cloth shoes stepped on the ground.
The girl who walked down the gangway had waist-length black hair that was trimmed neatly and meticulously. Under her neat bangs was a beautiful face that was so exquisite that it was almost flawless. Her expression was tranquil, and her eyes were as calm as a lake. She looked at the lights of the terminal in the distance, as well as the strange foreign city under the night sky.
A man in his mid-thirties, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked to the back of the girl with a respectful expression.
"Everyone has gotten off the plane."
"The person in charge of the Shanghai branch of the club has already arranged accommodation for us. From now on, all our matters in Shanghai will be handled by the branch. There won't be any other problems."
The moment he opened his mouth, he spoke in fluent Japanese, revealing his identity.
The girl's eyes were still quietly looking into the distance. She simply responded with a "hmm".
"Thank you for your hard work."
Her voice was as tranquil as the girl's temperament, making people feel comfortable and gentle.
The man bowed slightly. "This is what we should do."
The girl's gaze seemed to waver.
"Takeda-kun, regarding the decision to come to China this time, the club should have some opinions, right?"
The man hesitated for a moment before he slowly said, "Yes, there are actually many voices of opposition in the club. They think that even if we didn't choose to go to Korea for the exchange, we should at least choose between Europe or North America. Coming to China is the most worthless and least effective choice."
The girl's expression did not change because of the man's words. She was still indifferent and calm.
"Then, Takeda-kun, what do you think?"
The man showed a hesitant expression, but he still answered truthfully without reservation.
"Actually, I also can't understand this choice.
But if it is your decision, then I will obey it unconditionally. "
The man's tone became incomparably solemn when he said the last sentence.
The girl smiled faintly. It was enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat. She did not continue the man's words. Instead, she suddenly changed the topic and said leisurely:
"In fact —"
"In the beginning, I was also hesitant."
"Perhaps, just like my brother's decision, going to Korea to find a top-notch club like SSK and Fate for an exchange and learning was the best choice."
"But then I met someone."
"A … very interesting and very powerful person from China."
"It was because of him that I truly made this decision. Just like I told him at that time, as long as there is someone like him in this country, it is enough for me to make the decision to come to this city."
Saying that, the girl paused for a moment. As if recalling a certain conversation she had with someone on the internet, the corner of her mouth slightly curved up.
"Speaking of which —"
"This trip to China is just to fulfill a promise."
The man in the suit behind her was slightly shocked when he heard this. A monstrous wave of shock was almost set off in his heart. Because he knew the high status of the girl in front of him in the club too well, and he also knew the girl's character incomparably well —
And the more so, the more he could not help but feel shocked by the girl's words and tone.
What kind of person is this …
Can actually directly affect the decision of "this person" in front of him?
Furthermore …
It seems that this trip to China, this girl with an incomparably high status in front of him, is even just for that person?
But no matter how shocked he was, the expression on the man's face did not change at all. He maintained the most dutiful and professional silence and calmness.
At this time, the girl also put away her wandering thoughts. The smile on her face disappeared, and she became calm and indifferent again.
"It's about time."
"Then, let's go, don't let the branch manager wait too long —"
The man's expression also became serious again. He bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Yes."
"Miss."
