Chapter 1022: The Confusion Is Finally Broken
"The battle is over... The winner is Amazing Exia!"
"Oh~!!!!!!"
Although the first half of this battle was boring, both sides were carefully looking for each other, no fighting took place, and neither side had any tactical arrangements, but after the encounter, the hot battle that broke out was wonderful. The collision of every move was a collision of faith and will, and every attack and defense conversion was dazzling.
The audience not only cheered for the two players, but also gave respectful applause.
In this final, there was no real winner or loser, or rather, they were all winners. Even though Iori Makoto and Reiji lost to Yuuki Tatsuya, their performance and their beliefs also won the recognition and respect of everyone. They were not champions in name, but they were champions in reality.
On the battle platform, the brilliance of the Paravsky particles had dissipated. Reiji and Iori Makoto lost, but they did not cry, were unwilling, or resentful, and had relieved smiles on their faces.
"Makoto, we lost."
"Yes, we lost. Senior Yuki is really strong."
"Yes, he is really strong."
"Let's go, Reiji."
"Yes."
The two carefully collected the wreckage of the Star Creation Strike Gundam, and then walked to the center of the venue to face Yuki Tatsuya.
"Very exciting battle, Iori, Reiji." Yuki Tatsuya extended his hand to the two. He had a great time in this battle. It was the most satisfying and exciting battle for him so far.
His growth rate is definitely the fastest among all the players. Not only did PPSE provide him with great help in model making, but the two development directors Luo and Billy Katagiri would give him a lot of helpful suggestions; and in terms of operation technology, the members of the Prometheus Corps often went to PPSE and could practice with super masters every day.
With so many favorable conditions, Yuki Tatsuya's growth rate far exceeded that of other players, including Iori Makoto and Reiji.
To be honest, Yuki Tatsuya was also quite worried before the finals. Although he was looking forward to playing against the combination of Iori Makoto and Reiji, could their growth rate really keep up with his own? Could the other party really meet his expectations?
But these doubts, he got the answer after the finals. The other party not only met his expectations, but also gave more surprises.
"You are strong, but I will not give up." Reiji shook Yuki Tatsuya's hand.
"Senior Yuki, we will become stronger and challenge you again!" Iori Makoto also put his hand on, and the three hands were held together.
"Anytime."
"That... there is something... help me." Suddenly, the passionate painting style collapsed, and Reiji became shy, not knowing how to speak.
"Huh? What's wrong with you, Reiji?" Iori Makoto and Yuki Tatsuya were both surprised. Reiji had never shown such a shy attitude.
"I want to... please teach me how to make a model, please!" Reiji put his hands together and begged the two.
"Hmm? This... Reiji?" Yuki Tatsuya was even more surprised. Iori Makoto felt uncomfortable. After all, they had always been teammates. He was responsible for making models and providing support, while Reiji was responsible for the operation of model battles.
And now Reiji asked them to teach him how to make models. Iori Makoto felt... Reiji was going to abandon him?
"Well... I want to... use my own model to participate in the battle." Reiji said. He had never cared about the model itself before, just as a prop for the battle.
But with the model battles in the modern world, as he met more and more excellent opponents, and the influence of Iori Takeshi on him, the first model he made by himself also gave him a different sense of accomplishment and excitement.
"But Reiji..."
"Makoto... I want to be your opponent!" As long as it didn't involve Ella Yukiainen, Reiji's emotional intelligence was still very high, and he immediately saw the reason for Iori Makoto's loss.
"Eh? Me?" Iori Makoto was surprised and waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, I can't do it! Model battles and such... I can only make models... and my operation skills are just average..."
"No, Makoto, you are very strong, you are not average." Ling Si said to Iori Makoto seriously, "Your operation skills are really great, you just love the models too much and can't bear to see them damaged in the battle, so you are confused and can't concentrate on the battle. What you lack is never the skills, but the determination to fight even if you lose everything."
Iori Makoto was stunned. Every sentence and every word of Ling Si's words sounded like a magnificent bell, ringing in his heart, allowing him to finally clear the fog hidden deep in his heart and see his true self.
"...Yes, I learned this kind of determination from many people. Senior Yuki, Mr. Fellini, Masao, Niels, Ella, and the class monitor also taught me to let my thoughts run freely. There are some more important things than that!"
"As expected of Reiji." Yuki Tatsuya looked at this scene and was also very pleased. He could actually see the confusion of Iori Makoto. No, it should be that friends who are familiar with Iori Makoto can see it, but they are not qualified to say such words to Iori Makoto, nor do they have the ability to break the confusion in Iori Makoto's heart.
This person is only Reiji, and it can only be Reiji.
"After having more contact with this guy, you can find it, right? After all, he has no talent for acting." Reiji teased with a smile on his face.
"Eh? Senior Yuki?" Iori Makoto was at a loss, looking at Yuki Tatsuya awkwardly. He hoped that this was not true. He was obviously quite capable, but he kept saying that he was not good enough. Wasn't this a mockery? And everyone saw it, but he was the only one who didn't know. Isn't it too shameful?
"Hahaha, Reiji is right. It can only be said that... the authorities are confused." Yuki Tatsuya smiled knowingly, breaking Iori Makoto's luck.
"Why is this so..."
"Hahaha, you haven't promised me yet, can you teach me how to make a model?" Reiji asked the two again.
"Of course." X2
The conversation was open, and Yuki Tatsuya and Iori Makoto did not refuse. They definitely hope that more people will make their own models with their heart, and then use their own models to participate in the model battle.
"Then it's settled!"
"Yeah!" X2
"It's better to do it now than today, so let's go!"
"Eh?" X2
"You can't go anywhere!"
"Eh? Why are you here?"
Just when Ling Si was about to pull Yuuki Tatsuya and Iori Makoto out of the venue, Yang Hui also came down from the VIP audience. The individual finals were over, and the next thing was naturally the award ceremony. Ling Si was the runner-up, so he must stay to participate. If the runner-up ran away, this world competition would become a joke.
"Nonsense! You are the runner-up, and the award ceremony is about to start. What does it matter if you, the runner-up, run away?" Yang Hui said unhappily, and even slapped Ling Si on the back of his head. Sometimes he really had a headache with Ling Si's character of doing things and leaving when he said he would.
"Ouch! Why did you hit me!?" Ling Si complained, covering the back of his head.
"Ask your father, he specially approved it."
"Hmm~!"
The award ceremony of the world competition will only award trophies and medals to the champion and runner-up, and there will be no third place. In addition to the champion and runner-up, there are only four, eight and sixteen. These players will also receive corresponding rewards, but they will be awarded privately without a formal award ceremony.
Yang Hui waved his hand, and the staff behind him handed over the trophy and medal belonging to the champion. Yang Hui took it and handed it to Yuuki Tatsuya.
"You played well and didn't waste our sparring." Yang Hui praised.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yang Hui, I still have a lot to learn."
"Well, keep working hard, your future will be better."
After encouraging him, Yang Hui took the runner-up trophy and medal from the staff and handed them to Iori Makoto and Reiji.
"I won't comfort you, you kid never know what it means to be discouraged." Yang Hui teased.
"Tsk, I don't need it." Ling Si muttered embarrassedly.
"Yoho? You're still so arrogant after losing? Don't forget that you didn't fulfill the agreement between us." Yang Hui said jokingly.
"Just wait! Next time, I will definitely win the championship, and then I will fight you fair and square!" Ling Si said unconvinced. This time he lost, and he lost convincingly, but next time, he must win back, not for anything else, just to fulfill the original agreement.
"...Come on." Yang Hui smiled and didn't tell Ling Si truthfully that he didn't have the next chance. No, it should be that their agreement had no chance to be fulfilled. The final of the team competition will be held the day after tomorrow. After the final of the team competition, this world competition will be successfully concluded, and they should leave this world. Moreover, this world will not be connected to Promise Fortress. Whether they can meet again in the future... depends on fate.
After talking to Ling Si, Yang Hui looked at Iori Makoto again: "Are you finally not confused?"
"Yes! Mr. Yang Hui, I already know what to do in the future!"
"Very good, I look forward to your growth, come on, next time I hope you can operate your model yourself to participate in the world competition without any external help."
"Yes, Mr. Yang Hui!"
After presenting the trophy and medals, Yang Hui announced to the audience around the world that the individual competition of the Model Battle World Competition was successfully concluded, introduced the champion and runner-up of this year to the world, and announced that the last game of this world competition, the final of the team competition, will be held the day after tomorrow, and encouraged the contestants to prepare.
After saying this, Yang Hui left. Ling Si and Iori Makoto still need to prepare for the team competition the day after tomorrow. The damage to the Star Creation Strike Gundam is not small, and they don't have enough time.
However... when he walked out of the venue, Nils Nelson came to him.
"Come along." Yang Hui knew why Nils Nielsen came. Although Nils Nielsen had not been able to fulfill the original agreement, he was also the successor chosen by Yang Hui. Some things must be given to him, so he did not say much and asked him to follow and get the answer he had been pursuing.
