Ayrlarng-Bernabeu Alliance had defeated Capth in Battlecraft Combat. Even though it wasn't the final victory, it was still considered a victory for them.
The first and second place in the Battlecraft Combat system of Earth Confederation Military Academies had both been defeated.
The students of Capth could only watch the students of Ayrlarng-Bernabeu cheering. They had finally tasted the bitterness of their defeat.
"Congratulations!" Flash and Best were old rivals, so they greeted each other.
"I'm not sure if I should be happy or not, but I'm glad that such a terrifying figure has appeared in Battlecraft Combat." Best smiled bitterly. First of all, Wang Tong wasn't Bernabeu's classmate, and second of all, Wang Tong's appearance had reshuffled the balance of power in Battlecraft Combat.
Flash's expression was the same as well, but he was looking forward to it. After all, he had finally found an opponent and a goal. After all, he needed a defeat to motivate himself.
The stage belonged to the winner, and the candidates of Capth entered the lounge one after another. The disappointment of the students of Capth and the surprise of the students of other academies were the best rewards for the winner.
Halmond smiled bitterly. He had thought of everything, but he had never expected this to happen.
"Congratulations, Principal Samantha. The score is now two to two, and the final METAL Combat will be held in the afternoon. I'll go check on the students."
"Please, Principal Halmond."
Meanwhile, the rest of Capth's players were waiting outside the resting area. Bisu pointed at Halmond when he saw him. He could accept defeat since he still had Flash to back him up. However, Flash hadn't tasted defeat for a long time, especially in a face-to-face battle like this where he couldn't rely on luck to win.
Halmond smiled and said, "Let's take a break and have lunch. The most important match will be held in the afternoon. Let's leave Flash alone, and trust him. Capth isn't a greenhouse, and we can defeat anyone, no matter who they are. I don't want to see you guys depressed, and this is just a small test for you guys!"
"Don't worry, Principal. We'll definitely beat them this afternoon!" Wally clenched his fist and said.
Halmond nodded and signaled everyone to leave.
Flash was the only one left in the lounge, and he was covering his face with a towel …
The morning matches had ended, but Capth hadn't finished yet. Not only that, the score was now 2: 2!
The most important thing was that the Earth Federation claimed to be the strongest and most confident in Battlecraft Combat had actually lost. They were defeated by the opponent three to one!
The students of Capth couldn't believe it. Most of them who didn't watch the match couldn't believe it, especially when they heard that Bisu and Flash were defeated by the same person. Everyone started to wonder if this guy had three heads and six arms!
Everyone knew that Battlecraft Combat had nothing to do with age, which was why Flash was so dominant. His strength was enough to give Yetton a headache, but he was defeated by a single person!
What kind of godly being was this Wang Tong?!
Meanwhile, a group of people in a luxurious restaurant of Capth had attracted a lot of attention. Four days ago, no one paid any attention to this small group of people, as if they were invisible. Even the passersby would stare at them proudly. But now, everyone was whispering to each other when they saw this group of people, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
The students of Capth were cheering and laughing. They had never expected to achieve such a result, and it was obvious that most of them were satisfied. Only Wang Tong, Apache, and the others were still worried. To Wang Tong, it would be meaningless if he didn't get the final victory. Apache, on the other hand, wouldn't be happy just because someone else had won. Instead, he was waiting for the next match in the afternoon.
Nevertheless, they couldn't expect too much from everyone. After this match, everyone had built up their confidence, and they knew that this wasn't a one-man victory, but a team's victory.
Karl had finally proven his worth by staying in this team. He wasn't a piece of trash, and he deserved to be part of the team.
After lunch, everyone went back to the lounge and took a break. After all, there would be more brutal matches in the afternoon, and since they had come this far, they had to crush Capth once and for all.
During lunch, the principals of the other academies congratulated Samantha one after another. They had initially thought that Samantha was the weakest team, but no one had expected that they would rise to the top. What impressed them the most was that Wang Tong, Karl, and Ma Xiaoru weren't the only ones who had won the previous two matches. Although they had lost the previous two matches, all of them had demonstrated their fighting prowess and professionalism.
If this continued, it wouldn't be a problem for Ayrlarng to return to the top of A-Ranked. It seemed like Samantha wasn't here for fun after all.
The match in the afternoon had shaken the entire Capth, and the students of Capth, who were usually indifferent to this kind of exchange, were excited.
They couldn't wait to see what kind of team was able to push the king of Capth to such an extent, and they couldn't believe that an A-Ranked academy would be able to produce such a powerful fighter!
Due to the large number of participants, Halmond had no choice but to change the venue to a bigger arena. Only Capth had such facilities, since they had to host a lot of large-scale events every year. Nevertheless, they didn't plan to use it for a small event like this.
However, they had no choice but to use it now, not to mention the upcoming match between Li Ruo-Er and Ma Xiaoru's Enchantress.
Wang Tong, Ma Xiaoru, and the rest of the team were practicing their tactics in order to be in peak condition for the match in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the rest of the team was free to do whatever they wanted, since they were satisfied with their results since the matches had ended.
Suddenly, an uninvited guest arrived. It was Li Ruo-Er, and she wanted to see Ma Xiaoru.
Everyone looked at Ma Xiaoru, and Ma Xiaoru nodded and said, "It's fine."
She then left the room, and no one asked any questions. After all, these two were the most special people in Earth Confederation.
After more than ten minutes, Ma Xiaoru came back. Her expression was normal, but everyone was full of curiosity. What did the two of them talk about?
However, they knew that Ma Xiaoru wouldn't tell them anything, so they had no choice but to keep their curiosity to themselves. Even Karl, who was usually naive, had no choice but to keep his curiosity to himself.
The match officially began at half past one in the afternoon. This was the final duel that would decide the outcome of the match, and it was also the most important one. Not only were the students and teachers of Capth attracted, but there were also a lot of familiar faces; some of them were members of parliament. Most of them were here for the anniversary of Capth, and they didn't expect to see such an interesting event.
Many principals of military academies were involved in politics, and it was easy for them to get involved in politics with their influence and connections. After all, they had been through the same school together, fought guns together, and visited prostitutes together. Those who had done these three things together would form a special bond. Academies were born with this advantage, and the principals were able to utilize their connections to the fullest.
For example, principals of S-Ranked academies would be able to hold an important position in the Senate in the future as long as they didn't make any mistakes.
After a while, the students of Capth were stirred up, and even the principals of the military academies stood up. An old man who looked to be in his seventies walked into the room.
Needless to say, only the principal of Capth, Lieutenant General Flark, was able to command such prestige. It was not hard to imagine how lively Capth would be during the celebration, as students from all over the world would return to Capth. The only difference was that they were students when they left Capth, but when they returned, they would return as generals of their respective countries.
Perhaps there would be a lot of captains and generals, and there would be even more people attending the event since it was not a wartime period.
Flark rarely showed up in events like this. In fact, most of Capth's affairs had been delegated to the vice-principals, and he would only show up for important events. Even Halmond was surprised that he would show up at a tournament like this.
It was obvious that the students admired their principal very much. Flark was one of the few principals of Capth, and he was known for being an iron-blooded principal during his tenure. One of the most famous incidents during his tenure was when he and the principal of Yale worked together to stop the military coup. At that time, the rising military and political forces, which were now known as the Golden Hawk Faction, were about to attack House Li and House Ma. The Golden Hawk Faction wanted Flark to be the new president of the New Earth Confederation, but Flark rejected their offer and used his influence to stop the coup. Of course, House Li and House Ma had to give in to the Golden Hawk Faction.
However, Flark did not stop the infighting for the sake of the House of Lee or anything else. He knew very well that among the three major forces, the Ivantians were the most fearsome and the most united. After more than two hundred years of struggle and elimination, the Ivantians had formed their own political system, which meant that the people of the Moon were very supportive of the Dower family and the Zhang family of the Iron Curtain. In fact, the Ivantians were also human beings. However, when they were at the peak of their power, they were overwhelmed by the Blade Warrior and changed their way of doing things. Also, the military and political situation of a planet were also determined by the environment. A small planet like the Moon was not suitable for complicated conflicts because they did not have the capital to fight against each other. The relationship between the old and the new forces was a kind of complementary relationship.
Mars was an exception. Martians were very aggressive, but Mars was ruled by a religion, which was the Sect of the Divine Masters. Ninety percent of Martians worshiped the Sect of the Divine Masters, and the House of Lie and the Sect of the Divine Masters were very close. One could say that Mars was ruled by a family, which was much less democratic than the Ivantians. However, it was suitable for Mars, and any rebellious forces would be eliminated by the House of Lie in no time.
