Peak glory

The lights in the hall were turned on, the holographic scenery receded, and only the scene of Hellfire's victory moment was frozen in the sky above the center of the stage. The audience was still immersed in shock, but the torrential rain coming out of the simulation cabin was very calm.

When he saw Shixue's indifferent expression coming out of the simulation cabin on the other side, Rainstorm wondered if this was revenge for yesterday's prank?

She only saw Shi Xue's rolling eyes when she watched the news later, and she thought it would be impossible, but she didn't expect Shi Xue to hold grudges like this.

The two parties came to the center of the stage, the host's smile was full of embarrassment, and he carefully interviewed Rainstorm: "Uh... this... did you make a mistake just now?"

After breaking away from the state of the game, Rainstorm was very relaxed. He tore off the zipper of his combat jacket, stroked his hair and said nonchalantly: "No, just play normally."

"Yes, is it..."

Seeing the embarrassment on the host's face became more obvious, and the audience was also full of shock, Rainstorm was secretly helpless, and kindly helped the host smooth things over: "The result of this match is not unexpected, but it's only the first match. Go all out."

"Okay, thank you for the rainstorm." The host hurriedly turned to Shixue, trying to make up for the scene: "Today is very good."

Shi Xue opened her mouth, originally wanting to say it was normal, but considering the current atmosphere, she reluctantly admitted: "Well, the first match, I'm more excited."

The host breathed a sigh of relief, and jokingly said: "It seems that unlike the slow heat of the rainstorm, Shixue enters the competition state faster."

"Ah."

The host didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear of saying the wrong thing, and after interviewing Jin Luan for the first time, he hurriedly led the field to the next competition.

After the two sides left the field, the atmosphere was still immersed in a strange gloom.

The player's lounge is in one direction, and the three of them are traveling together. Rainstorm is walking behind Shixue, and he can still feel the indifference from Shixue's body. The attitude of not wanting to talk to her should not be too obvious.

Although the two were not familiar with each other, they didn't feel that Shi Xue was so cold when they met before, so Rainstorm felt that maybe he had provoked Shi Xue.

Thinking about apologizing, Rainstorm caught up with Shixue: "I'm sorry."

Shi Xue stopped and looked at the rainstorm inexplicably: "What?"

This apology made Shi Xue completely confused. If she really wanted to apologize, she should have apologized to Rainstorm. She was indeed impulsive just now, and she was serious by accident. It made the situation so embarrassing, it was too embarrassing.

"Yesterday was just a joke."

Shi Xue was even more puzzled: "Yesterday?"

Rainstorm was startled: "Aren't you taking revenge for what happened yesterday?"

Shi Xue frowned slightly, revenge?What happened yesterday?After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly occurred to him that the news about him leaning on Yu Yu's shoulder and rolling his eyes was on the news. Then he suddenly realized, and then curled his lips speechlessly: "I'm not that small."

Seeing Shixue acting like she really didn't remember what happened yesterday, Rainstorm was puzzled instead: "Then why are you angry?"

"I'm not angry."

Rainstorm didn't believe it: "If you're not angry, you will kill me instantly?"

Today, before the match, she had noticed that Shixue was angry, and her attitude was extremely cold. After being killed in seconds, she was even more sure that she felt right.

"I..." Shi Xue was at a loss for words, this person was instantly killed, don't you feel embarrassed and come to ask her why?What's wrong? !She was too lazy to talk nonsense with Rainstorm, and said coldly: "Although I don't know what you misunderstood, I just don't want to waste time on this kind of meaningless competition."

After throwing down this dishonorable remark, Shi Xue walked away.

Jin Luan on the side was startled by Shi Xue, and was two steps behind before regaining consciousness and catching up.

Rainstorm froze in place, looking at Shixue's back for a long time but couldn't regain consciousness, until Shixue's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, she wondered in a daze, is Shixue such a character?

****

The first game of the quarter-finals was so dramatic that everyone was surprised.

The next day, all the news channels related to mechs or competitions were talking about the sudden death of the heavy rain, as if it was such an incredible thing.

Watching people from all walks of life seriously discussing whether they have performed abnormally, whether their skills are no longer suitable for cloud pavilions, etc., the heavy rain is very helpless, what about it?Compared to how shocked these people were that she was instantly killed by Shi Xue, she was even more surprised that these people hadn't seen Shi Xue's true strength for so many years.

Thinking of Shixue's "meaningless game" last night, Rainstorm felt a little sad, not only for himself, but also for Shixue.

Before yesterday, she always thought that Shi Xue's changing partners every year was just for freshness, because there was no rival in the country, and Shi Xue used this method to seek freshness.

Only now did she know that Shi Xue was not at all arrogant and lazy, she was rushing to the top.It's just a pity that Shixue hasn't met the partner who can inspire her [-]% strength.

Rainstorm secretly sighed, she was the most aware of the feeling that she had nowhere to use her energy.

****

The chaotic public opinion lasted all day. Until the start of the game, various broadcast platforms were still discussing the matter of the heavy rain being killed in seconds, and the topic seemed to have no intention of ending.

In the next day's competition, Shi Xue was ranked fourth. After being told by Jiang Su yesterday, she reluctantly came half an hour early today, just in time for the second rainstorm competition, and sat in the VIP seat when she had nothing to do. Go up to the game.

The venue for this match was where land and water intersected. When Shixue saw this, she had a premonition that Heavy Rain should win, and the result was just as she expected.

After the start of the game, Rainstorm was not in a hurry to compete with the opponent, but focused on maneuvering and fighting a war of attrition.

There is a lot of water, which means that the mech needs to use the flight function. The flight function is a continuous output function, which consumes a lot for H at the helm. A can help, but this will cause insufficient firepower.

In order to save physical strength, the two sides had to focus on land warfare as much as possible. However, it is not easy to win the firepower confrontation of land warfare against the heavy rain.

When H's physical strength was exhausted to a certain level, the sensitivity of the mecha decreased, and the opponent took off a little later, and was crippled by a critical strike from the rainstorm.

The impact of yesterday's spike was huge, and today's entire match was full of dread, which also made the audience more immersed in the game.

The moment the heavy rain sealed the victory, there was a roar of shouts like a tsunami in the arena. No matter how hard yesterday's spike hit the fans, the excitement at this moment is as strong.

Seeing the cheering audience, Shi Xue's conscience hurt a little, she really shouldn't be serious with the rainstorm, and everyone was happy to keep some of them like before.Originally watching the game, she wanted to be excited and happy. As a professional player, it was her job to think about the audience. How could she ignore it because of her personal feelings? It was too wrong.

After a day of baptism of public opinion and the influence of the current atmosphere, Shi Xue seriously reflected on herself.

So, in the fourth game of her own, she let the audience watch a wonderful game based on her professionalism.

****

The seven-day competition ended in a blink of an eye, and there were no surprises in the result.Shixue easily crossed the line with a record of all victories, while Rainstorm had only one victory after the second victory, and once again stopped in the quarterfinals with [-] wins and [-] losses.

Perhaps it was because the impression of being killed in seconds on the first day was too strong. Even though the result of the rainstorm stopping the top eight was as expected, the public opinion against her was still harsher than in previous years.

Shi Xue thought it was just his own willfulness that added a small episode to the quarter-finals, and it was over, especially after the heavy rain the next day and he won, so it shouldn't have much impact.

But as the heavy rain lost one after another, the excitement of winning the second game was gradually forgotten by people. This kind of ups and downs made people lose their minds.

Everyone doesn't remember the two games that Rainstorm won, and they don't remember Rainstorm's wonderful performance in each game. They only remember that she was killed in seconds.

This discussion even continued until the semifinals and finals.

As a professional player, it is inevitable to be compared and judged, but the remarks that are too biased are really uncomfortable.

****

On the day of the final, there was a pre-match interview before the game, and the media didn't care about the result of the game at all, because everyone knew that Shi Xue must win, so the questions asked by the media were not limited to the final.

Faced with various questions, the official answers have long been familiar, Shi Xue calmly dealt with the media.

Someone asked: "Today is the last game of this season, Shi Xue, which game do you remember the most?"

Shi Xue said without hesitation: "The first round of the quarterfinals is against the heavy rain."

This answer seemed to be beyond everyone's expectations. The person who asked the question paused and joked, "Is it because the victory was too easy?"

The others also laughed, as if this was really a funny thing. Shi Xue's eyes darkened, and her tone turned cold for a moment: "Because only that game made my blood boil."

"Blood boiling?" Everyone didn't understand the meaning of these words.

Shi Xue didn't want to say any more, and ended the interview hastily: "Sorry, the game is about to start, let's stop here."

Leaving the media with blank faces behind, Shi Xue turned and left.Jiang Su and Jin Luan, who were by the side, hurriedly followed. They looked at each other, and they both saw clearly in each other's eyes. Shixue was angry again, and it was because of the heavy rain.

After arriving at the lounge, Jiang Su tentatively enlightened Shi Xue: "The reporters didn't do it on purpose just now. They weren't laughing at the rainstorm. They were really impressed by your instant kill."

While arranging her combat uniform, Shi Xue's tone was still indifferent, obviously still angry: "I know."

Jiang Su hesitated to speak, thinking that the competition was about to start, so she didn't say any more.

After tidying up the clothes, Shi Xue, who rarely had tactical discussions with Jin Luan, confessed: "You don't need to worry about anything for a while, and fire when the firepower reaches 50.00%, the sooner the better."

Jin Luan was startled, then nodded in a daze: "Okay."

Seeing that Shixue looked like she was going to do something again, Jiang Su had to remind: "Don't go too far, save some face for others."

Shi Xue looked up at her, and said indifferently: "Is it inferior to be killed by me?"

Unable to understand the meaning of the question, Jiang Su asked doubtfully, "Huh?"

"The rainstorm is still the rainstorm. I, Shixue, are the ones who are underestimated."
