"No matter how many points you've earned, once your number tag is taken away, everything will be in vain. No wonder there's a need to form an alliance."
After listening to Mia's explanation, Kaede Sato could not help but feel shocked and annoyed by the harsh rules of the tournament. At the same time, he also understood why Mia needed to form an alliance with someone else.
In the second stage of the tournament, it would be very difficult to pass if one relied solely on one's own strength. The reason for this was the rule that "once your number tag is taken away, you'll be out of the tournament".
Kaede Sato could already imagine that in the following matches, the weak would spontaneously choose to form a group to protect themselves, while the strong solo players would not have an advantage in this match. After all, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands.
Once surrounded, even a strong solo player like Kaede Sato would basically be declared out of the tournament. This was because the point was not to defeat him, but to take away his number tag.
This was especially true in the early stages of the tournament. A strong solo player like Kaede Sato would only have one Wisp in his hand. His overall strength would be greatly reduced, and the chances of him being eliminated by a group attack would also greatly increase.
Moreover, it was strictly forbidden to kill each other in the tournament. Once discovered, it would be the same as being eliminated.
In this way, the fear of the weak would be greatly reduced. After all, they would not have to die. Instead of waiting to be eliminated by the strong, why not band together and eliminate a small number of strong players first before engaging in internal strife?
This was human nature. In such a situation, a normal person would choose to do the same.
If the few strong players did not want to be eliminated by the group of weak players, what could they do? Naturally, the best way was to also choose to band together and eliminate the weak first before engaging in internal strife.
However, the biggest difference between the strong and the weak was that they were generally arrogant. Each of them had an extremely strong ego, so it was much more difficult for them to choose to band together than the weak.
If Kaede Sato didn't guess wrongly, most of the more outstanding powerhouses in the rookie tournament were definitely either second generation nobles or direct subordinates groomed by the big shots of the various factions from a young age.
The personalities of these people were basically the same as Marlowe and Xing. Although they were very strong and had normal IQ, their EQ was much worse than those members of the Rocket who had worked their way up from the bottom.
At the thought of getting these people to form a group, Kaede Sato immediately thought of three words: "Impossible."
"If I didn't guess wrong, you are Lady Na Zi's direct subordinate. Then, Lady Na Zi will definitely send more than one of her subordinates to participate in the Rookie Tournament. Why don't you form an alliance with them? Aren't they more trustworthy than an outsider like me? "
Kaede Sato looked at the pleading expression on Mia's face. He thought for a moment and then asked her with a serious expression.
"You may not know this, but I only awakened my superpower a year ago. At that time, I was just a small gangster on the streets of Jinhuang City. Moreover, my superpower talent was very poor. How could those who were more talented than me and had a higher family background think highly of me?"
Upon hearing Kaede Sato's question, Mia's pretty face suddenly turned gloomy. She lowered her head and eyelids, looking a little disappointed as she explained.
Although Mia was lucky enough to awaken her superpower and change her fate greatly, she found that her life was not as happy as before.
There was no harm without comparison. This saying was very reasonable.
Mia's background and talent in superpowers put her in a very awkward position in Na Zi's team of superpower users. She was often looked down upon and bullied by her colleagues.
Therefore, when Mia learned the rules of the tournament from Na Zi, she did not even think of forming an alliance with her colleagues to complete the second phase of the tournament.
Mia did not even consider the fact that they were the direct subordinates of the rich and powerful. Compared to Kaede Sato, who had only joined the Fire for less than two months, Mia was much more familiar with how these people behaved.
The chances of her forming an alliance with these people were almost zero. Unless she was really powerful enough to suppress these second generations and direct descendants, just the issue of her background was enough to keep her out.
Generally speaking, people like Mia and Kaede Sato, who had joined the Rockets halfway through their journey, were not on the same level as Ah Xing, Marlowe, and the other heirs to power, who had been groomed since they were young, even though they were very strong.
Such was the nature of society and organizations. The higher the rank, the stricter the hierarchy. To join, one had to at least have the power of a Heavenly King.
That was why the quick-witted Mia decided to form an alliance with Kaede Sato. The reason was that both of them were commoner trainers, and they had joined the Rocket halfway through their training. They could be said to be in the same boat.
Most importantly, Mia had taken a liking to Kaede Sato's power. She believed that as long as she formed an alliance with Kaede Sato, she would have a high chance of passing the second phase of the tournament.
"I see. I understand now. I agree to form an alliance with you. Let's work well together, Miss Mia."
After listening to Mia's explanation, Kaede Sato immediately knew what kind of situation she was in. He nodded at Mia and held out his hand with a smile.
"I knew you would form an alliance with me. Let's work well together, Mr. Sato."
When Mia heard that Kaede Sato had agreed to her proposal so readily, her disappointed expression immediately turned into a bright smile. She immediately held out her hand to shake Kaede Sato's and said happily, "I knew you would form an alliance with me.
After the two of them confirmed their partnership, the atmosphere became much livelier. Mia also told Kaede Sato everything she knew about the tournament.
The two of them discussed the second phase of the tournament for nearly an hour before Mia took her leave, satisfied. With the help of a Hu Di (Yongira had evolved), she instantly disappeared from Kaede Sato's sight.
"It's so convenient for people with superpowers to travel. Just one Teleportation and I can move a long distance. That way, I won't have to worry too much about being ganged up on in the early stages of the tournament."
Watching Mia disappear from his sight, Kaede Sato turned to look at the sea in front of him with an envious look on his face.
The reason why Kaede Sato readily agreed to Mia's request to form an alliance after learning the rules of the tournament was very simple. Part of it was because he really needed a powerful ally.
But the other part was because Kaede Sato had taken a fancy to Mia's identity as a superpower user. She was a superpower user taught by Na Zi, and she even had a powerful Wisp with superpowers. That meant that she must have a very powerful tracking method. (Foresee the future and plant a spiritual mark)
In this way, Mia, a superpower user with the ability to teleport, could quickly meet up with him. When that time came, he would have a great advantage in the early stages of the tournament.
With a superpower user by his side, at least when faced with a group attack, he would have a good chance of escaping.
"I can only use six designated Wisps, and the second phase of the tournament will last for three weeks. I need to prepare well."
After a while, Kaede Sato put away all the Wisps except for the Yakuza Bat, and then let the Yakuza Bat fly him in the direction of Red Lotus Town.
