Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning

After the third round of the national competition, there will be a day of rest. After this round, the top twelve in the country will be decided.

"The last place elimination system?"

"Yes, this year's third round is quite special. Sixteen teams will decide the top twelve. Each group will only eliminate the last place. But don't think that you can be careless just because the last place is eliminated. There will be no weak teams among the top sixteen teams in the country. Every team we will meet next is a real strong team."

"I'm a little curious, how will we decide the eight teams participating in the semi-finals from the twelve teams next?"

"It's still the same as the second round, the point difference with the previous place. The top two teams in the three groups will advance, and the remaining third place will compete with the point difference with the second place. The team with the largest difference will still be eliminated, and finally the eight teams for the semi-finals will be decided."

"That means starting from the third round, four teams will be eliminated in each round."

"That's fine, so we must be serious next time."

"In today's third round, what position do you want to play, Senior Nan Yan?"

When Takei Hisa and Sometani Mako explained the rules of the game before the semi-finals to everyone, Saki couldn't help asking Nan Yan.

Now Qingcheng can be said to have placed Nan Yan in a very high tactical position. As long as Nan Yan wants to play any position, he can basically play any position.

Not only Qingcheng discovered the advantages of the substitute rule, but many teams in the national competition also put the strongest players on the bench.

Of course, the strongest player in Shiraitodai is still the pioneer.

"Me...?"

Nan Yan came back to his senses and pondered slightly: "I won't play in the third round. The first two rounds were played too fast. Xiaohe and Saki didn't play.

It just so happens that I plan to go with Sasano to check the registration situation of the World Youth Championship, so I won't play in the third round.

Of course, if there is a need, I will rush back at any time."

In fact, I had an appointment with Sasano yesterday afternoon, but the whole team of Lu Laodu had to hold a graduation dinner for Sasano Mei, who was already in the third grade yesterday, so it was put on today.

"Okay."

Takei Hisa nodded slightly.

Originally, she wanted to let Xiaohe and Saki play in the first and second rounds to practice, but she didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Unexpected opponents appeared in these two rounds, resulting in neither of them having the opportunity to play.

The opponents to be met next are not ordinary people. If it is too late, there will be no chance to practice.

It is a good thing that Nan Yan will not play in the third round.

After all, the others also need to experience and feel the atmosphere of the national competition. Otherwise, when it comes to the semi-finals and finals, the strength of the opponents is extraordinary, and there will be no opportunity for experience and adjustment.

Moreover, if something really happens, it will not be too late to call Nan Yan back to save the situation.

"Go with peace of mind, leave the rest to us!"

Yu Xi clenched her fists and said.

She didn't feel that she had a good performance in the first round. She had to show herself hard in this round!

Although it was her first time to come to the national competition, Yu Xi felt super good, as if she had endless luck all over her body. She just needed a strong enemy to be her whetstone!

"That. The deputy general battle is in the afternoon. Can I go with Senior Nan Yan in the morning?"

Haramura Kazu raised his hand cautiously.

Although he knew that there was a game in the afternoon, Nan Yan went with a girl, and she was a very cute girl.

"That's fine, but Xiaohe must come back as soon as possible at noon."

Takei Hisa approved.

Sometani Mako couldn't help but glance at Hisa, thinking that you really dote on them. This is a national competition, and you are making arrangements without any sense of urgency like usual?

Then Hisa also showed his confidence: "Just go with peace of mind. Maybe before Xiaohe comes back, I have already solved the opponent in the middle battle!"

Hearing Hisa's words, Sometani Mako couldn't help laughing: "Please, the third round has one of the four seeds, the Nagami woman, I don't have such confidence."

But Sometani knew that Takei Hisa said it easily, but among all the people in Qingcheng, she was the one with the most pressure.

After all, she was the only third-year student among the people present.

She will not have a second chance to participate in the national competition.

If she doesn't win the championship this year, it may become a permanent regret for Takei Hisa.

So, they have a reason not to lose!

"Well, I will come back as soon as possible."

Haramura Kazu nodded deeply.

She could still tell which was more important, but she didn't have a match in the morning, so she only had one morning to check the registration status of the World Youth Championship, which wouldn't delay her for too long.

And Saki originally wanted to go with Senior Nan Yan to have a look, after all, she didn't have a match in the morning.

But when she thought about meeting her sister in that venue, the girl recalled her sister's voice, smile, and every bit of her life with Xiaoyu when she was a child, and her pupils trembled slightly.

She is not ready to recognize her sister yet!

So Saki's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say that she would go with Nan Yan and Xiao He to register for the World Youth Championship.

For the past.

She still has a haze.

Xiao He glanced at Saki, who was a little silent. Although Saki rarely mentioned her sister Gong Yongzhao in front of them, she also knew that the relationship between the girl and her sister was a little complicated.

So I didn’t invite Saki to go to the venue in the other half of the area.

At the same time, the radio gradually sounded.

"The competition in the eastern half begins now. The first person to enter is Himematsu High School represented by Minami Taisaka. The strong team from Kansai is basically a regular in the semi-finals. They have often appeared in the top eight teams in the past. Two years ago He was still one of the top four seeds in the national competition.

However, due to the strong rise of Yongshui Women in recent years, this team is currently downgraded from the seed team.

But there is no doubt about their overall strength, they are still at the forefront of the country..."

Hearing the sound of the broadcast, Takeijiu clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I'll leave it to Yuki next."

After introducing each team, the third round of the Pioneer Battle is about to begin.

"Accept your fate!"

Yuki, a small man, didn't panic at all even on the stage of the national competition.

She even couldn't wait to play against the players in the national competition.

.

After Yuki stepped onto the stage of the competition, Nanyan and Xiaohe also met Sasano Berry at the agreed place.

Seeing the girl with delicate make-up and obviously well-dressed up, Haramura's eyes showed a bit of scrutiny, but luckily he followed her!

"Sorry, I'm a little late." Sasano Berry glanced at the time and saw that he arrived a few minutes later than the agreed time.

This was not because of the delay in putting on makeup, but because she was pestered by a reporter from Mahjong Weekly when she came out of the arena. Sasano Berry had to take some time to complete the interview before hurried over.

But I didn't expect it to be late.

Being late for the first meeting will leave a bad impression.

"We can't do this next time."

Haramura whispered.

But I soon felt that something was wrong with what I said, and there must be no next time!

"I'm sorry." Sasano Berry leaned over.

"Go directly there, Xiaohe has a game in the afternoon."

Nan Yan didn't pay too much attention to it. It didn't mean that he didn't have a sense of time, but he didn't control time too much. Coming in early and coming in late for a few minutes didn't have any impact on him, as long as he didn't deliberately delay it for an hour and a half. .

In his previous life, Nan Yan once made an appointment with a girl. After waiting at the intersection for more than half an hour, he finally said, "My aunt is here."

Later, Nan Yan learned that some people just like to rely on your good impression of them, and then use some unreasonable methods to 'test' you. In short, they do it without a bottom line.

And this kind of girl who likes to do things can usually only be considered above average in appearance.

But if Sasano Berry was only a few minutes late, Nanyan wouldn't care too much.

Then the three of them also arrived at another competition venue not far away.

In the national competition, the competitions in each half-region are played in different venues, and players from different half-regions will basically not meet each other.

According to Sasano Berry, last year's World Youth Championship registration place was also at this venue.

“Unlike the individual competitions in national competitions, the World Youth Championship uses a nomination system. It does not mean that players can participate just by signing up. Instead, professional players are required to be nominated.

There are many active and retired professional players in the commentary room and press room of the national competition. It is not that simple to enter the World Youth Championship. What is more important than individual competition is absolute strength. Qualification for the World Youth Championship requires It is a qualification.

Therefore, the nominated professional players pay more attention to the player’s previous competition experience and results, such as the national champion Teru Miyagawa, the second individual player Arakawa Yui, and the Linhai Women’s player Minghua Saru, because they have rich competition experience and achieved luxurious results, so they were not so much nominated as directly invited.

The prerequisite must be the results of the national competition. No matter how luxurious your achievements are in the county competition, these professional players will basically not pay attention to it, so don't expect the professional players to nominate you because of your achievements in the county competition. .

However, I think that with Yumeyan Minami’s wonderful performance in the first and second rounds, there should be no problem. "

While walking into the venue, Sasano Berry explained.

"Don't the results of the county level competition count?" Haramura Kazu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it doesn't depend on the results of the county competition." Sasano Berry nodded, "After all, there have been many seeded players who have achieved extraordinary results in this division, but were swept by others in the national competition. There are too many such people. , in the future, the World Youth Championship will default to county-level results not counting.”

Nan Yan expressed his understanding.

Each competition region has its own shock wave players, experts in civil war and amateurs in external battles.

Therefore, it is an extremely correct decision not to look at the rules of this division's results.

Competitions of a national or even global nature will severely torture each competition region.

"So that's the case, so I probably won't be nominated either."

After learning this information, Haramura Kazu's expression did not change much.

Her current experience in national competitions is only the achievement of being the champion of the national competition for junior high school students. Compared with the players like Gongyong Teru and others who have been directly invited to the World Youth Championship, this achievement is like the light of a firefly. It is really bleak. .

However, all nomination qualifications for the World Youth Championship should be given after the national competition. After all, strong players will emerge in the national competition and individual competition.

So even if you are not eligible for nomination now, you can still get nominated if you perform well in subsequent individual and team competitions.

As the three of them walked down the stairs, Sasano Berry couldn't help but observe the girl from the corner of her eye.

Although she was a very famous contestant in this national competition like herself, this girl seemed to have more capital to be liked than herself. When she walked down the stairs, the plumpness under the JK school uniform that almost resisted the gravity trembled, with a surging visual effect of bouncing and undulating, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

Even though she was a girl, her eyes were always attracted by the girl, which was purely force majeure.

"By the way, when Haramura walks, can you see your toes?"

Sasano couldn't help asking.

"Huh?"

Haramura and Ruro looked a little innocent, and were a little surprised why the other party asked such a strange question.

However, out of politeness, the girl still looked down at her feet, and then politely replied: "I'm sorry, I can't see it at all."

Sasano Berry lowered her head slightly, and saw a small section of her toes exposed at the edge of her fullness, and she suddenly wanted to cry.

It seems that in terms of her figure, she can't compare with others at all.

Not only that, Haramura Kazu's performance in the competition was much better than hers.

This made Sasano Mei feel a little inferior.

"Actually, I can see that, so there's no need to feel inferior."

Nan Yan raised his hand slightly and said lightly.

You are just asking for trouble by comparing this with Xiao He.

"You are a boy, it's different!"

Sasano Mei said with a little encouragement.

Just like you boys, don't you also care about the length between you?

The girl, who was originally stunned, also realized what the two were discussing at this moment, and her face was immediately stained with a faint blush.

"Senior Nan Yan, classmate Sasano, stop talking!"

Haramura Kazu showed a cute annoyance.

In fact, in the club, Yuki always joked about her development, and created many strange idioms on his own, such as "white breasts with slight flaws" and "a little bit of jade", and every time Xiao He heard it, he couldn't help but say a few words to her.

It's fine if Yuki is a weirdo, but why are seniors Sasano and Minamihiko...

"Actually, I envy you, because it's just right."

Haramura Kazu glanced at Sasano and blushed as he judged.

His size is actually a bit inconvenient, and it's easy to attract those weird looks, but Sasano's shape is more normal.

Besides, Minamihiko also likes girls like Saki and Xiaoyi, so the figure can't highlight his competitiveness.

"No, no, no, I think big is good."

Sasano Mei still insisted on her opinion.

Girls from rural areas have simple aesthetics.

After all, in their hometown, girls with this figure are generally easy to give birth.

Then the two girls had a fierce dispute over their own ideas.

This made Minamihiko, who was caught in the middle, not know what expression to make, because at this time, no matter which side's argument he supported, he would be despised by the other side, so it was better to remain silent.

"Minamihiko?"

Just after the three of them walked down the stairs.

On the other side of the corridor, a group of girls came towards them.

After seeing Haramura Kazu, several girls stopped immediately.

The girl who walked down from above was beautiful and had a fairy-like temperament, which deeply moved the heart of Gao Ya Wenno who was walking in front.

The girl who used to be their childhood sweetheart has now become the goal pursued by all of them in Achiga.

The reason why they reorganized the Achiga Mahjong Club was to meet their childhood friends again on the stage of this national competition!

Hearing someone's soft call, the girl stopped slightly and looked sideways.

Suddenly, everyone on both sides remained silent for a few seconds.

"Wenno, Chong and Xuanjie..."

Haramura Kazu's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes swept through the girls one by one, only to find that they were all his playmates in Achiga when he was a child.

After coming to Nagano, the reason why she became a partner with Yuki was because Yuki's body shape and appearance were very similar to Chong when he was a child.

But now Xiao Chong has become dignified and beautiful, no longer that small person.

And when they saw Nan Mengyan nodding slightly to all of them beside Xiao He, all the members of Achiga didn't know why they felt a fear of retreating.

The invisible sense of oppression made them stop and dare not get closer.

That's right.

Xiao He is now as far away from them as the sky. It is impossible for them to play with Haramura like they did when they were children.

But if they still want to get close to her, they must defeat the man next to her!

But can they really do it?

You know, none of them have been able to win even one game against the big devil in front of them so far!

As if she had made some kind of determination, Gao Ya Wenno clenched her fists.

"Wa! We will definitely advance to the finals!

So you and us should also enter the finals. We will meet at the end of the national competition!"

The girl's speech shocked Sasano Mei.

You have to know that this Achiga is a new team like Kiyosumi, and this newly formed team actually said that it would join hands with Kiyosumi to enter the national finals!

Even the four seeded teams did not dare to make such a guarantee.

Although there are many cases of dark horses defeating seeded teams in previous competitions, there are only a few strong teams that can enter the finals.

Even last year's dark horse Longmenbuchi only stopped in the semifinals.

And Haramura Kazu stepped forward and said with a firm look: "Although I can't make this promise with you, I will do my best."

"Then, see you in the finals!"

After making the promise, Gaoya Wenno turned and left.

Just like in the RPG game, the hero has to save the princess he loves from the devil, she also wants to defeat the devil in this national competition!

The other girls also understand Wenno's idea.

Now standing in front of them is the devil named 'Nan Mengyan'.

And they have to face this devil no matter what.

Entering the finals means that the real challenge has officially begun.

Watching the girls from Achiga leave, Sasano Mei finally couldn't help but say, "They want to make it to the finals right after entering the national competition. Aren't the players on this team setting their goals too high?"

Goals that are too high will eventually be shattered by reality.

However, Nan Yan said calmly:

"This team, and our Qingcheng, will enter the finals together.

We will meet in the finals eventually!"
