Four Split Personalities

That’s right, even though Ramollok’s performance in the first round of the competition was downright awful, Qian Niao, the vice president of the student council from the Dan Slave Military Academy, still decided to display this match on the first screen.

It’s unavoidable to say this was an extremely wise choice because the name Ramollok itself signifies a certain level of excitement. Whether it’s those who have high hopes for him, or those who feel he doesn’t live up to his name, or those who think he’s playing a big game, none of them would feel ’I don’t want to watch his match’.

Although Ramollok’s debut disappointed those who hoped to see a renowned figure crush the competition, it didn’t decrease the buzz surrounding him. In fact, people are even more eager to watch him appear again.

After all, as the ancient saying goes, whether a mule or a horse, it needs to be led out for a trot, and given he didn’t quite show what he’s made of in the first round, everyone is still looking forward to seeing him run the second lap.

No matter the outcome, whether Ramollok shows overwhelming prowess to prove himself or falters completely in the second round of the main competition, it will undoubtedly be a match not necessarily spectacular but definitely thrilling.

The audience enjoys the lonely expert and the pursuit of defeat, but the drama of a star’s fall is also quite enticing, so they won’t lose out either way.

In the players’ eyes, if Ramollok’s true level is only what was shown in the first round, then he’s unlikely to gain any advantage against Richard Ryan, who, despite taking unconventional paths, has a much clearer strategy than the student Galavina.

Of course, this notion is considered nonsense by some people.

Such as Teresa Tarosa and her partner Karouz Webb, who inexplicably appeared as referees in the first match area after the draw ended.

Such as Black, who finally managed to break free from Elisa’s embrace and wants some quiet time to think.

Such as Jiawen on the stand, who although doesn’t know much about command studies, has early assurance from Ramollok that he ’cannot lose before the top sixteen’.

Such as Richard Ducasse, the dean sitting in the central referee seat, always with a poker face.

Such as Foster Ward standing at the field’s edge alongside Lian.

Such as Motan, with a face full of conflict and a constipated demeanor.

"So, what exactly..."

Yu Chen poked the shoulder of the person next to her with a playful curiosity: "Why are you feeling upset?"

"It’s hard to explain."

Motan exhaled deeply, his face a mix of emotions, and looked at the brilliant first screen in the air, saying somberly: "I don’t want to fight against Ramollok at all, so I hope he gets knocked out early, but I also don’t want him to be defeated by that lion dog."

Yu Chen chuckled, glancing at the screen featuring the worn-looking yet still handsome lion clan half-beastman: "Don’t talk about people like that. That student Richard is quite good-looking."

"Yeah, you’re right."

Motan lazily responded, then closed his eyes, resting his head against the chair back, looking as though he had no worldly troubles anymore.

Yu Chen puffed her cheeks with annoyance, lightly pinching Motan: "You don’t even give a reaction!"

"Just joking around, I don’t really have the grounds to be jealous."

Motan subtly raised the corners of his mouth and added a line under Yu Chen’s increasing dissatisfaction: "So even if there’s some displeasure, it’s something to handle when you don’t know, like sending someone to beat him into the hospital again."

Yu Chen wanted to give Motan an angry glare, but because he had an expressionless and lifeless look with his eyes closed at the time, she opted not to waste the effort.

Pretending to be angry takes effort too.

After all, she wasn’t actually angry, although feeling a bit sorry for the student Richard, who seemingly just got out of the hospital. She wasn’t upset at all.

Though when Motan just said, ’Yeah, you’re right’, she got a little mad.

Being agreed with doesn’t necessarily bring joy.

The reason isn’t hard to understand.

After all, the girl’s little thoughts were never a mystery.

"Annoying!"

Finally, Yu Chen, for some unknown reason, began feeling irritated again and kicked Motan.

At the same time, the second round of the main competition officially began!

"Ouch!"

Motan opened his eyes, shouting theatrically, then directed his attention to the first screen floating mid-air.

Yu Chen, who hadn’t applied force, retreated comfortably into her chair, joining Motan in watching the live broadcast.

Like the first round, the screen in the air split into four sections, with Ramollok and Richard Ryan positioned on the sides of the first screen. The former, seemingly unaffected by the earlier match considered ’failed’ by the majority, still wore a smile, though he no longer appeared ’profound’ to the crowd.

Similarly due to Ramollok’s prior display, Richard Ryan on the screen’s right didn’t seem very anxious, focusing instead on the rapidly refreshing intelligence before him, with furrowed brows, pondering tactical moves, making use of every second like most contestants.

However, unlike most contestants, he was very handsome, as mentioned before, Richard’s looks could easily earn him popularity anywhere, and paired with the noble aura unique to lion-type half-beastmen, he was undoubtedly an ’Yidong-level’ participant matching Ramollok in appearance.
