Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 68 First Battle
In front of the lounge is a huge screen with today's match schedule written on it.

[Venue No. 1: Nanchuan No. 9 Middle School vs. Qinghe Experimental School! Time 30:]

[Venue No. 2: Qinghe No. 9 Middle School vs. Annan Middle School! Time 30:]

……

With a quick glance, Chen Wen and others saw the battle arrangement of No. 1 Middle School.

The staff member said, "The first round of battles will start at 15:. You just need to arrive before :. You can rest in the lounge first, and then go to the battle field."

Lu Dong said: "We are not tired, let's go to the battlefield directly!"

The staff agreed and brought everyone from Qinghe No. 2 Middle School to the No. battle field.

Battlefield No. 2 is indoors, like a stadium, with the battlefield in the center and raised stands around it that can seat hundreds of spectators.

Even though the competition had not yet started, dozens of people had already sat in the audience seats.

Chen Wen was pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh my god, there are still audience members talking about this?"

He thought no one watched the first few rounds of the game.

Zhang Dewang, who was standing by, said with emotion: "We didn't have this treatment last year. The first few rounds of the game were all played outdoors, and the only spectators were a few passers-by..."

Yang Wenhan smiled and said, “The first few rounds of competitions in most schools are like this, but No. 1 Middle School achieved good results last year, so the attention and treatment this year are different.”

While chatting and laughing, everyone sat down in the contestant seat on the side under the arrangement of the staff and put away their backpacks and other items.

"The opponent is Annan Middle School. They were eliminated in the top 64 in the provincial qualifiers last year, but you must not be careless..."

Lu Dong gave everyone information about the opponent while giving them instructions.

In fact, he had said these words before and was just repeating them now.

The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to strengthen the impression on everyone, and on the other hand, to ease the nervousness of newcomers.

However, he found that Chen Wen and Li Siyu were not nervous at all, but were just excited beyond concealment.

Especially Chen Wen, he looked eager to fight on behalf of his pet.

Lu Dong said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless. You should know that we also failed in the top 64 the year before last. Except for those high schools in Shudu, the level of beast control in other schools fluctuates greatly. Every year, there are a lot of dark horses that make a comeback."

Chen Wen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be careless."

Lu Dong said: "It's better this way. If you fail to win the first game, I will immediately replace you from the home team."

Today's order of battle is Chen Wen, Li Siyu, Zhang Dewang, Luo Yin, and Yang Wenhan.

"what?"

Chen Wen was surprised, and then asked: "What if they directly appoint the captain?"

Lu Dong asked back, "So you can guarantee victory even if you're not the captain?"

Chen Wen was speechless.

He doesn't know the strength of his opponent, so how can he make a guarantee?

With a cold snort, Lu Dong said in a deep voice: "Try your best to give No. 1 Middle School a good start."

Chen Wen nodded and became much calmer.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the audience. Club members and school teachers and students who were scheduled to participate in the second round of the competition slowly poured into the No. 2 battlefield.

At the same time, the referee team and the representative team of Annan Middle School also entered the battlefield.

The referee team was checking the venue, while the Annan Middle School team sat down at the other side, looking around excitedly, and then discussing in low voices.

"Are they the Qinghe No. 1 Middle School team? They look just average..."

"Yeah, except that the men are a little more handsome and the women are a little more beautiful, there's nothing special about them!"

"Their main players last year all went to college, and this year they are all newcomers, including two sophomores. It's really hard to find anyone."

"Hehe, it would be great if we could defeat them. Maybe we could make a big splash!" "..."

Seeing the students’ eagerness to fight, the instructor of Annan Middle School nodded with satisfaction, thinking that his psychological preparation was pretty good.

When he was first drawn to Qinghe No. 1 Middle School, he felt a little desperate.

However, after getting the list of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School team, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The famous Feng Chuixue actually left the team!
He felt that Qinghe No. 1 Middle School without the wind and snow was like a tiger without claws and teeth. It was still very big, but not necessarily a ferocious beast. It could be a piece of fat meat.

"We were certainly not able to compete with Qinghe No. 1 Middle School last year, but now they are lacking young talents and their strength is only average.

So don't be intimidated by their reputation, you have to believe in your own abilities. Last year they were able to make it to the national competition from an unknown school, and this year we can do it too.

There’s always someone who’s the dark horse, why can’t it be us?”

Ren Hai's voice was so passionate that it ignited flames in the eyes of the excited Annan students.

Looking at his players one by one, he asked again in a resounding voice: "What better way to start than to sacrifice the top 16 in the country?"

Ren Hai's voice was not loud, but not small either.

Chen Wen vaguely heard the other party's passionate speech across the battlefield, and could not help but turn to look at Lu Dong who was calm and composed.

"Teacher Lu, aren't you going to give a pre-match speech?"

"No need!"

Lu Dong shook his head expressionlessly, and then said: "This is not a sports competition. The ones fighting are your pets. Even if you want to give a speech, you should give it to your pets.

As a beastmaster, what you need to do is stay calm and make the most correct judgment for your pet."

Regarding Ren Hai's speech, Lu Dong was extremely disdainful and said, "Being so excited now will make them lose focus when they summon their pets in the battle later. This is really stupid."

Chen Wen nodded, no longer paying attention to his surroundings, and began to adjust his breathing and clear his mind.

After a while, the referee team checked the venue and the competition officially began.

On the stage, a professional animal trainer took a deep breath and shouted in a clear voice, "The upcoming match is between Qinghe No. 1 Middle School and Annan Middle School!"

Then, he looked at the match lists submitted by the coaches of both teams and announced loudly.

"Now, please invite the contestants of the first match to come on stage!"

"Chen Wen from Qinghe No. 1 Middle School, Yue He from Annan Middle School."

With the help of the loudspeaker, the host's voice echoed throughout the venue, and the audience's enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

"Come on, Yuehe!"

"Yuehe, you will definitely win!"

"..."

The Annan teachers and students who came with them said loudly.

Yue He's face flushed red, he pushed his glasses away, faced the gazes from all around, and excitedly walked quickly towards the center of the battlefield.

When Chen Wen heard his name, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He Xiong, Li Siyu and others beside him encouraged and cheered Chen Wen on easily.

"Come on, Awen!"

"Come on, Chen Wen, don't worry about winning or losing!"

"Just show your strength!"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Wen nodded and walked towards the battlefield.
