Chapter 331 Are We the Worst Class? !

Mingzheng didn't expect that his first encounter with Sirona would be like this.

Seeing his aunt Kikuno's obvious matchmaking, Mingzheng felt so embarrassed that he almost felt like he had to leave the three bedrooms and one living room.

But on the surface, he could still remain calm.

"Hello, Mingzheng!"

"Girona"

Sirona nodded lightly and did not ask why he was surprised just now.

Although she didn't care so much about fame, she also knew that many people knew her. Mingzheng's previous surprise was not surprising.

Moreover, this was not the first time she heard Mingzheng's name from King Kikuno.

"Okay, let's go have a big dinner!"

Kikuno said with a smile, holding one person in each hand, and walked out of the airport with a smile.

The three of them drove in a winding car for half an hour before stopping in front of a small restaurant.

"This restaurant is my treasure hotel. When I come back from a mission, I always hope to have a good meal here to regain my strength!"

Kikuno greeted the hotel owner familiarly and led the two of them into the private room to mind their own business.

Only then did they realize that the seemingly ordinary hotel actually had a lot going for it.

It's a private room, but it's more like a place for leisure. The small dining table is surrounded by a pool, grass, sand, and even directly adjacent to the woods behind it.

"You can release the elves if you want. The restaurant owners here also have a way of making elf delicacies."

Kikuno said something, but he didn't release any elves.

Mingzheng thought for a while and released the baby dragon and edelweiss moth.

On the other side, Sirona also released an Eevee, which was quiet, well-behaved and very cute.

When the three elves met for the first time, they were a little cautious at first, but under the leadership of Edelweiss Moth, they soon started playing on the grass.

Neither Mingzheng nor Sirona are talkative people, so it would be awkward for Kikuno to keep talking.

But from time to time, the playing sounds of the three elves could be heard, which made the atmosphere a lot more harmonious.

The food was naturally ordered by Kikuno, a regular customer. While the food was being served, Kikuno also took advantage of the opportunity to chat about the topic that Mingzheng cared about most.

"Are you sure you want to participate in the Sinnoh region's representative team trials?"

"Well, after a trip to Kanto and Hoenn, I am now qualified to join."

Kikuno smiled, knowing that his nephew was speaking modestly.

"If everything goes well, you and Xiaona will be teammates from now on.

Xiaona is very powerful. Less than a year after joining, she has defeated all the players in Group B and successfully won the position of captain. "

Mingzheng was not yet surprised by what Kikuno called Sirona, and then he heard the latter's glorious record and had to express his admiration.

Defeating them all sounds so domineering!

He truly deserves to be the youngest champion of the Sinnoh region in the future.

Mingzheng looked at it with admiration, but Sirona just smiled lightly and nodded politely.

Lowering her head, she stared at the grilled wings platter.

Judging from today's intake, the most she can eat is one more chicken wing, but which one should she choose between Orleans flavor and garlic flavor?

So difficult!

On the other side, Kikuno started a new topic, but it was mainly about Mingzheng.

"The registration requirements for the regional representative selection competition are very strict, but the selection method is actually not difficult, and the selection of Group B is very straightforward."

Mingzheng nodded. The representative team must bring in fresh blood every year and eliminate players who fail to meet the standards. The system can be described as strict.

But in this case, there are fewer bells and whistles, and everything you do is ultimately aimed at obtaining better results.

Therefore, selection is naturally based on strength.

Just listen to Kikuno continue: "The format of the Group B selection competition is a tower climbing challenge. During the whole challenge, the trainer can use a total of 9 elves.

During the challenge, trainers who participate in the selection will enter the battle tower one by one and challenge level by level starting from the first floor.

The challenge content of each level is different, including but not limited to singles, doubles, triples, mixed battles, free battles, temporary combination battles, etc.

The final ranking is based on the number of floors players challenge within the specified time to determine the number of candidates. "

"Auntie, how many people are selected? Can you see the progress of others in real time?" Mingzheng heard this and couldn't help but ask.

"When Sirona participated last year, 13 newcomers were selected. This year's number is only about the same." Having said this, Kikuno looked at Sirona with admiration.

"Because the average performance of last year's batch was very good, the representative team will limit its quota accordingly this year."

"The real-time rankings you mentioned are also available. All players who have participated, are participating, and are waiting can see them in real time. The pressure is always on!"

Mingzheng nodded, not afraid of pressure. Such a comparable challenge does not necessarily expose all his strength.

Kikuno was not in a hurry, Mingzheng had digested the previous content, and then spoke again.

"There are also many restrictions during the challenge. You cannot increase the number of elves through transfer, on-the-spot evolution, egg hatching, etc. in any way.

No potions, food or even drinking water can be used to help the elves recover.

For example, elves with water storage characteristics are not allowed to recover their physical strength by being fed water by their trainers, but they are allowed to recover by withstanding attacks from other water elves.

Mingzheng, do you know what this means? "

"The auxiliary elves are very important!"

"right!"

Kikuno clapped his hands, but then shook his head.

"It is very important, but it would be bad if the pace of the challenge is slowed down by a small loss."

"Auntie, what you mean is that because the challenge is time-limited, if you adjust your status too frequently, you will easily be surpassed by other players?"

"Yes, after all, the challenge has a time limit. How long was the last one?"

"3 hours"

Sirona replied succinctly, then lowered her head again and took a satisfied bite of Orleans-flavored chicken wings.

“Well, 3 hours is not a long time, but it’s not a short time either!

More importantly, once an elf loses its combat power, it cannot continue to be used in subsequent challenges unless it uses a skill such as Healing Wish to exchange it for one.

Therefore, when to treat, whom to treat, and to what extent, are all matters that the trainer must control.

The vast majority of trainers could not last more than three hours before their entire army was annihilated and ended prematurely. "

After Kikuno finished speaking, the dinner table fell into silence, with only the sound of the three elves playing around.

Ming was deep in thought, because the situations mentioned by Kikuno were indeed things he had not considered before, and all kinds of thoughts kept coming to his mind.

Sirona raised her head belatedly, feeling that she should say something in such an atmosphere.

"actually……"

Suddenly, both Mingzheng and Kikuno looked at Sirona, quietly waiting for her next words.

“Actually, whether it’s singles, doubles, or other forms, it’s all about competition in the final analysis.

Choose a main battle elf to strengthen, and give it all the auxiliary support. If you use it to push it all the way..." Sirona considered the words for a moment, and then said: "It's pretty... fast."

Push it?

quite fast?

Mingzheng took a deep breath. Your hesitation just now meant that you wanted to say it was quite simple, right?

On the side, Kikuno couldn't help laughing. The tactics Sirona said really fit her fighting style.

Domineering and powerful, but also risky.

If the ace elf suddenly falls, the results will definitely not be better than playing steadily.

But no matter what the results are, let alone...win or lose is really fast.

But after laughing, Kikuno was still worried that Mingzheng was so competitive that he would actually use such a method, and then quickly added: "There are thousands of tactics, and the one that suits you is the best.

Sirona's biting land shark has now transformed to the quasi-king level, but other elves have not kept up.

Xiaona, have you encountered a lot of challenges recently? "

Hearing this, although there was no timidity in Sirona's eyes, she still showed a little trouble.

Those who challenged her were all defeated, but due to the rules of the representative team, Sirona was unable to use the biting land shark that had completed its transformation when accepting challenges from other members of Group B.

Although she won't lose, every battle is much more difficult, which has become a problem for her.

When Kikuno mentioned this at this time, he was also reminding Mingzheng.

It may seem easy to specialize in one elf, but it puts you at a disadvantage in a representative team.

You can have ace, but balanced development in the team is also important.

Mingzheng nodded to express his understanding, but he also knew that the future Sirona would take the ace elf's path to the extreme, and a biting land shark would sweep across almost the entire Sinnoh region.

This is very powerful, but it is really not suitable for Ming Zheng.

In this way, we need to think more about the formation of the trials.

The meal took a full hour, and throughout the whole process it was Kikuno who was mainly talking, while Mingzheng and Sirona were listening.

After roughly talking to Mingzheng about the team selection competition, Kikuno began to share his experience in various aspects such as elf cultivation, training, and battles.

It's neither systematic nor fixed, but these flashes of inspiration have benefited Ming and Zheng a lot.

As a veteran king, Kikuno's experience is far beyond that of Sirona now, so she sometimes listens more seriously than Mingzheng.

Mingzheng and Sirona, on the other hand, except for exchanging names at the beginning, did not exchange a word at all.

But this way, it can be considered harmonious.

After dinner, Kikuno sent Mingzheng to the Devon Hotel, and then took Sirona, who was staying in the dormitory, back to the Sinnoh branch.

Before he officially joined the team, Mingzheng rejected his aunt Kikuno's plan to let him live in her own home and temporarily stayed in a hotel.

Anyway, you will be assigned a dormitory after being selected, so it is more convenient to stay in a hotel now.

For example, process some information.

Real Bird: You are finally back! The latest information about the King Kong team and all the information about this year’s trials are sent to you. Don’t let the boss (and me) down~

Mingzheng smiled, wondering if the brackets were a bit deliberate.

After a simple reply, Ming Zheng took a look at the information collected by Zhen Niao.

In addition to the rules information already obtained from her aunt, what Zhentiao helped her collect was naturally more about other contestants.

Soon, Mingzheng saw many familiar names, and he couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.

Was the last year great?

I shouldn’t be too bad this time...

In this way, 5 days flew by.

The selection competition for the regional representative team also started quietly in the battle tower of the Sinnoh League without any publicity.

The Battle Tower is a characteristic building of the Sinnoh branch. The entire tower has only one function, which is to fight.

It is said that the strength of the battle tower has been specially processed and can fully support all battles at the King level and below.

Although I don't know whether it is true or not, it is more than enough for Ming Zheng and others.

Now, the battle tower has been cleared, and the tower guards on each floor have been arranged. Now they are waiting for Ming Zheng and the others to come in and break through.

On the first floor of the battle tower, the waiting trainers were scattered in the hall, so it seemed that there were not many people.

But the data showed that there were more than half a hundred players participating in this session, and the selection ratio was less than 5:1, which also showed the difficulty.

Although there was no clear age limit for the players who could participate in the selection, most of them were between 18 and 30 years old.

Mingzheng was the youngest among them.

At eight o'clock, the bell of the battle tower rang on time.

The doors of the five elevators, which were usually very busy, opened at the same time, and there was a staff member in each elevator, waiting for the first batch of players to enter.

On the big screen, five names suddenly appeared in the first row, and they corresponded to the five elevator numbers.

There was no opening, no leaders' speeches, and even no one announced the rules. The selection started so straightforwardly.

Mingzheng was not in the first batch, so he could observe more.

According to my aunt, the theoretical three hours per person is almost difficult to use up.

The reason why the last session was excellent was that in addition to Shirona's direct clearance, there were also five players who persisted for more than three hours.

This time...

Ding!

It has only been less than 3 minutes since the No. 2 elevator reached the 2nd floor. Why is the [↓] mark displayed now?

Mingzheng immediately looked at the big screen and saw that the name of the No. 2 contestant named Yingnan had turned gray. The result of the level-breaking.

0th floor!

The hall, which was originally filled with some discussion, suddenly became silent. Everyone's attention to the selection competition could not help but rise several levels.

Mingzheng was also worried.

Could it be... that his class was really the worst?

Fortunately, the remaining four in the first batch did not have a 0th floor result. They went through several floors smoothly all the way. Only then did someone fail on the 4th floor.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.

Fortunately, the difficulty should not have been increased. There was just an exception.

The stairs that were eliminated also quickly descended to the first floor, and the next contestant continued to challenge.

After an hour, only one of the five in the first batch was still struggling to challenge the 7th floor.

The other four had all been eliminated.

Three hours, now it seems a bit ironic!

At this time, there was a little noise in the empty hall. Mingzheng looked over subconsciously, and then saw two of them who looked familiar in the information.

A fiery red afro and a golden hedgehog head.

With such distinctive hairstyles, it was hard for Mingzheng not to recognize them.

Daye, the future fire king of Sinnoh!

Denci, the future strongest gym leader of Sinnoh!

After knowing that these two people were in the same class as him, Mingzheng knew that their class was not weak!

Not a school flow! We will continue to travel in the future!
