Quite a few people were already calculating what sort of arrangements they would make if they were placed in such a position. Sending Grai up was undoubtedly one option. Grai was an all-rounded soldier, and there was no such thing as being absolutely countered by any occupation.
They would use their strongest point to fight a battle. As long as they could snatch the right to choose later in the next match, they might be able to use their occupation to counter Grai.
Of course, they could also hide Grai and send Scarlet or Emily to disrupt their opponent's judgement. After all, the two hadn't participated in last year's regionals. Adolf's side might have some misjudgments about their strength. This was an advantageous condition. Furthermore, Scarlet was the former captain appointed by Grace. She definitely had the strength to fight. At the very least, they could minimize the effects of being sent up first in this match.
What would he choose?
The atmosphere in the arena turned heavy. Now was the time for the theoretical genius to display some of his strength!
Everyone turned to look at Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong had his own considerations as well. In truth, it wasn't that complicated. Just as Cecil had guessed, third year seniors should be given a certain amount of respect. Furthermore, Wang Zhong could clearly feel the sharpness of Lily and Colby's bodies during the group training.
The two of them had participated in last year's regionals and had suffered a crushing defeat. In the past two to three months, everyone had exchanged pointers and learned from each other. The two of them had made great progress, and it was inevitable that they would have an urgent desire to fight and prove themselves. It wasn't that they couldn't have such thoughts, but they had to first acknowledge their own strength. In the past, the disparity between Tianjing Academy and the strong squadrons was too great. Even if they lost, they wouldn't be able to see the heights of their opponents. Now that they had some achievements, they thought that they were equal to or even surpassed those strong squadrons. This kind of thinking was very frightening. In the future, when it came to truly important matches, it might even harm everyone.
Therefore, Wang Zhong felt that they needed to 'temper' themselves. Let the enemy hammer them, and let the enemy temper them. This wasn't for today's match, but for the sake of the squadron. This was something that a captain had to consider. Frankly speaking, he couldn't compare to Reeves in terms of prestige as a captain. Prestige needed to be built up bit by bit.
Wang Zhong smiled faintly and announced the second name: Colby.
The one who walked out from the Tianjing Squadron was actually Colby!
The originally quiet arena instantly turned into absolute silence. Many people had their mouths agape. Colby was actually sent up for the second match?!
He didn't mean to look down on Colby, but if anyone in the academy were to choose, they would definitely not choose Colby.
Although the assassin occupation was extremely strong in duels, it was too easy for them to be countered. If they were to bump into a heavy soldier that leaned towards defense, they would just stand there and let the enemy hit them. That would give them a sullen feeling of being beaten by a dog. If they were in a more gloomy and complex terrain, assassins would still be able to rely on their advantage of concealment to create some opportunities for themselves. However, this was an arena! Assassins were the occupation that was publicly acknowledged to be the most prone to collapse!
Alright, even if you don't consider all of these, just based on strength alone, Colby had lost to Emily over three months ago. You don't need to say that it was due to the favorable timing, geographical location, and people. A loss was a loss, and there were no other reasons. What's more, Colby was a third-year student. Whether it was in terms of technique or soul power, he was already set in stone. Even if he were to stand at the same starting line as Emily, Emily's improvements would definitely be greater after three months!
Furthermore, Colby had participated in last year's regionals competition. His information and strength were all clearly understood by his opponents. At such a time, even if you wanted to send up an assassin, you should send up Emily. Naturally, the best choice would still be Scarlet or Grai.
But how was that possible! How was that possible! Why did you choose Colby?!
Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?
A wave of grief and indignation rose in the hearts of all the Tianjing people. Sending Lily as the vanguard was still acceptable, but sending Colby now was definitely a moron!
"Fuck, Wang Zhong, do you even know how to arrange a formation? Have you properly analyzed the combat strength of both sides? "
"Do you really understand every single member of the squadron?"
"That's right, you shouldn't have sent up Colby! You can't be a human spy for Adolf, right? "
There was no need to see who their opponents would send up. There were already people in the viewing gallery who couldn't help but start cursing. Their target wasn't the Tianjing squadron, but that idiotic captain! What the hell, changing the commander at the last minute? Were you sent by a monkey?
Cecil couldn't help but shake his head.
It was another third-year senior student.
Exactly how much respect did this second-year captain of the Tianjing squadron have for the old? Or was he just a decoration?
Yesterday, when Cecil saw the strength and self-confidence he had displayed in front of Headmaster Bradley, he had assumed that he was a character. However, the arrangements for the next two matches had truly caused people to be taken aback. In fact, it could even be said that he was very disappointed.
"Elena," Cecil said in an indifferent tone. "Make it quick."
Cecil had done detailed research and understanding of every single member of the Tianjing Academy squadron last night. Even a lion would use its full strength to capture a rabbit. He would never underestimate his opponents just because they were weak. What's more, such a huge bet was involved in this matter.
He had already decided on the lineup last night. As long as he could snatch a good start, he would gain the qualifications to enter the arena. Regardless of who his opponent sent up, there was no need to think about it on the spot. His side had already arranged for a corresponding person to accept the match.
A purple figure flashed past Cecil's side and stood firmly on the stage like a specter.
Her clothes, weapons, hair, eyes, and even the lip gloss on her lips were purple. Exactly how much did this woman like the color purple?
The color purple, which was supposed to represent romance, wasn't romantic at all on this girl's body. However, her purple eyes, which didn't seem to move after staring at Colby, gave off an incomparably cold and elegant feeling.
The reason why Adolf hadn't arranged for a heavy soldier to go up on stage was because Adolf's heavy soldier had more important targets to guard against. Against Colby, there wasn't a need for a specialized occupation. Elena was more than enough.
She was Adolf Academy's best assassin. When Cecil had assigned Colby as her opponent last night, she had already thoroughly researched all of Colby's combat videos from last year's regionals.
Truthfully speaking, there wasn't a need to go through so much trouble. Unlike Lily, assassins weren't as easy to change styles as other occupations. Other than learning some big moves, they could only improve their strength, speed, and other basic abilities. Although this sort of improvement was stable, it was very slow and required more talent … This match would be much easier than the previous one.
Elena's eyebrows twitched slightly as the bell rang to signify the start of the match.
At this moment, the arena was quiet. Everyone seemed to have passed the hot-blooded and impulsive phase when they'd first entered the arena, especially after Elena made her move.
She didn't use too many flashy techniques. She just moved, attacked, moved, attacked … her figure was like a purple hurricane drifting around the stage.
