As Tianjing Academy and Giant God Peak Academy stood together, a small interlude occurred while they were waiting for the train tracks.
Yesterday, they had already found out that Stowe Lege Academy, which Reeves was from, was also allocated to the Grozny City Competition Zone. Although they were unhappy with Reeves, Wang Zhong and the others had already let it go. Other than Hymin jokingly mentioning that she wanted to settle some debts with him yesterday, everyone had only smiled and felt that this was a slight coincidence. However, they never imagined that he would actually take the initiative to approach them at the train station today.
A faint smile appeared on Reeves's face. With the increase in his strength over the past half a year, especially after he had relied on his family's connections to enter a first-rate academy like Stowe Lege Academy, he had long disregarded Tianjing. The sense of superiority he felt came from deep within his bones. "Scarlet, I haven't seen you for half a year. You've really become more and more beautiful."
This was the first sentence this fellow had said when he walked over. Furthermore, his frivolous tone caused everyone to feel considerably unhappy.
"We're not familiar with each other." Scarlet's voice appeared rather cold. She originally did not have any good feelings towards Reeves, and the matter of him framing Wang Zhong had caused her to feel even more hatred from the bottom of her heart. It was fine if he had become strangers after leaving the squadron, but he had actually dared to come over and say such words! Hearing those words coming out of his mouth caused Scarlet to feel disgusted.
"Tsk tsk. You've got quite a temper." Reeves did not feel embarrassed by Scarlet's indifference. On the contrary, he said with a smile, "Don't think too highly of yourself. This isn't Tianjing. Don't think you're infallible. You'll have the time to cry."
His impolite tone was filled with the smell of gunpowder, causing the Tianjing Academy squadron to stare coldly at him. Barran had already rolled up his sleeves. Having frequently eaten the rice dumplings that Scarlet made for him and Wang Zhong, Barran's vice-captain was the closest person to him. If not for Wang Zhong teaching him to be steady every day, Barran would have long since beaten him up.
"You still haven't grown up after changing places. You really talk a lot of nonsense." said Wang Zhong in an indifferent tone. "We'll see our true abilities in the competition. If you guys are able to meet Tianjing."
"Ha ha …"
The gaze that Reeves sent towards Wang Zhong was brimming with malice. Although his decision to leave Tianjing was the correct one, he had been forced to do so. He was the one who had been abandoned!
This was a completely different matter from him abandoning Tianjing. The reason for this was precisely this fellow Wang Zhong!
"See who's the real deal? You guys really think highly of yourselves. I know that you guys have defeated Adolf. However, I want to say that regardless of Adolf or Tianjing, both of you are trash! " Said Reeves in a cold voice. "When I left, I've already said that you'll definitely pay the price for your actions. Tianjing will be the first to be eliminated. If any of you survive, remember to help me tell Greene exactly how foolish of a decision he's made!"
"Dream on!" Hymin spat on the ground.
Reeves sneered and left.
"Who is it?" Dicaprio was rather interested in this matter. In fact, this data guy was also a gossipy guy.
"Those who betrayed the academy," said Wang Zhong with a smile. "They are now enemies."
"Stowe Legg's men? They seem pretty strong. I've seen their team's data. They're an all-rounder team. Their overall rating is A-. " Dicaprio shook his head. "With such an enemy, you guys have to be careful. If there's anything I can help with, don't hesitate to ask. Naturally, I might not necessarily help!"
Everyone was already used to this joker, Dicaprio, and had completely treated him as if he didn't exist.
The other Tianjing members felt slightly indignant, including Colby and the other former members of Saint Judgement. When everyone saw Reeves yesterday, none of them had any thoughts of settling their debts with him. In fact, they even felt a little nostalgic. After all, the previous matter had already been settled, and Reeves had received a certain amount of punishment. However, they never imagined that he would actually come over and make a false accusation.
"I really hope to bump into them earlier in the elimination rounds!" Hymin gritted her teeth in anger. "I want to teach that arrogant and conceited fellow a fierce lesson!"
"I understand Reeves. He's a truly vicious and merciless person. He doesn't just want to teach us a lesson." said Colby in a deep voice. "Against such a person, it's best to have a life and death attitude when facing him in the CHF. If not, you'll definitely suffer a fate worse than death."
Everyone nodded their heads in succession. Losing to Reeves would truly infuriate them to death. However, Wang Zhong and Grai clearly didn't treat it too seriously. There was no need for them to waste too much energy on such a person.
After waiting for roughly half an hour at the train station, the specialised armoured train finally entered the station. However, a slight mishap occurred when they boarded the train at the last minute. The organisers had actually intentionally split up all of the squadrons staying in the same hotel, and arranged them into different carriages on the train tracks.
It had to be said that this move of theirs was slightly superfluous, causing waves of dissatisfaction to ring out. Although the distance from Stuart City to Grozny City wasn't particularly far, it would still take 5 to 6 days to travel by train. What's more, it was just a seat. Naturally, everyone hoped that they would be able to travel with people they knew for the next few days.
"Mr Lennon, may I know why this is so?" Within the crowd, Casio from the Lightning Dragon Academy shouted out in doubt. "It's just a seat for the journey."
"You guys don't have the qualifications to question me. You just need to obey my orders." The cold and callous looking middle-aged instructor didn't give any face to him, nor did he give any explanation. "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can choose not to board the train. That will be considered as an automatic withdrawal from the competition!"
Although his tone was rather impolite, there was no room for doubt. Although he was only the instructor in charge of maintaining order, he was a Heroic Soul Stage expert. The 2 bars on his shoulders caused the majority of the fellows who felt that his words weren't pleasant to hear to immediately shut their mouths, as none of them dared to show any dissatisfaction.
Going against the organisers just for such a small matter? Withdraw?
That was definitely an impossible matter.
Clearly, the Giant God Peak Academy and Tianjing Academy would also be separated. Dicaprio belonged to the first batch to board the train. Before leaving, he whispered to Wang Zhong, "Our estimations might not be wrong. The test might come even faster than what we imagined. Now that we've been separated, Wang Zhong, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of you guys. I wish your Tianjing squadron good luck!"
"Thank you, and I wish you good luck as well."
Shaking hands, smiles appeared on Dicaprio's and Wang Zhong's faces. Being able to meet such a friend in the vast sea of people could be considered a kind of fate.
There were a total of 20 carriages, with Tianjing Academy being allocated to the middle of the tenth carriage. The squadrons in the same carriage were all from different parts of the world. After getting to know each other, they quickly discovered some similarities between them. All of them were classified as C rank squadrons, causing the atmosphere in the carriage to turn more reserved and reserved.
Intentionally separating the squadrons from the same hotel and region, as well as allocating seats according to a certain level of strength, had already caused everyone to have a premonition of some things.
There were clearly many squadrons that had the same thoughts as Wang Zhong and Dicaprio. Those that were able to participate in this CHF, even if they were only classified as D rank, were definitely not weaklings. Even if there were idiots in their squadrons, it definitely wasn't all of them.
Every single great squadron had their own specialist think tank, with some even having analysis groups. In fact, there were quite a few aristocratic families that were able to obtain some reliable information and information from the internal department of the organisers. Things like confidentiality were never absolute.
There wasn't much chatter or interaction within the carriage as everyone waited quietly. It was only until the start of the train did many people, who had made prior preparations, as well as some understanding of the situation, immediately discover that the direction they were heading towards was unexpectedly not Grozny City.
"It's coming. The first elimination round." On the contrary, Wang Zhong was filled with anticipation. Although he didn't know the specifics of the test, the direction they were heading towards was coincidentally slightly north of the map that he had asked everyone to memorise yesterday.
Regardless of what the test was, at the very least, the Tianjing squadron was already prepared to take the lead in terms of their geographical understanding.
Indeed, after travelling at high speed for close to a day, the carriages started to stop in succession. Looking through the windows of the carriages, everyone could see quite a few squadrons disembarking from the carriages one after another. Every time they stopped, there would be roughly 2 to 3 squadrons remaining. As for the squadrons that were still within the train, everyone could see the squadrons disembarking from the train leaving the vicinity, before rapidly entering the vast and boundless icy plains.
Although there wasn't a single person standing out to give an explanation, the answer was already exceedingly obvious. The first elimination round of the elimination round had already begun. The objective of the mission was extremely likely to be for everyone to head towards Grozny City from the place they had disembarked from the carriages.
Truthfully speaking, the difficulty of the mission wasn't high, as all of the participating squadrons possessed the strength to complete it. After all, this was still considered to be the safe region within the core region of the five cities. As long as one didn't purposely head towards the forbidden region, the dangers one would encounter would be negligible.
