The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Lorenwei turned and left: "I'm going to write to my mother."

"...Oh! Lorenwei, I was wrong~"

Chapter 265 wasn't just the start of a fight, it was a confession contest to Lorenwei...

The Misty Sea Competition has begun.

In the quarterfinals, there was only one seeded team, which was Lorenwei's team.

No one in the entire school explicitly objected to this. Even if someone grumbled a few words of dissatisfaction, no one spoke out.

This is unprecedented. Seeded teams have always been accompanied by controversy. Regardless of whether the captain was male or female, they were always subject to criticism.

However, Lorenwei is a very special exception.

She's neither a man nor a woman; either possibility is possible, and everyone harbors a sliver of hope.

Perhaps one day, by chance, Lorenwei will fall in love with him? Although the possibility is very small, it cannot be completely ruled out.

Among the top eight teams, one is an exchange student from another university.

Exchange students are already the best of the best from other schools, and they are selected through a rigorous process. However, there are still many objections to such preferential treatment for them.

The weather was clear and sunny on the day the quarterfinals began. Just like the vibrant energy of youth, the sun shone brightly.

The large arena in the back courtyard of the academy was filled with teachers and students early in the morning.

Not only were the special guests on the stage fully seated and the school principal present to watch the game, but even the passageways were packed with people.

The scene was noisy and bustling with people.

A female reporter from the school's official publication conducts an in-person interview: "Hello, I'm from the school newspaper. I'd like to interview this male student. Why are you here to watch the game?"

She basically has to shout to be heard clearly.

“Look at Lorenwei.”

"Ah, ask another male classmate..."

“Look at Lorenwei.”

"Ah, let's ask another female classmate."

Female classmate: "Look at Loren. Oh, she's still called Lorenwei now, but she'll definitely be called Loren because of me in the future!"

Female reporter: "You want to eat peaches!"

Female classmate: "..."

"I think I'd better not interview students with such vivid fantasies. Let's find someone more normal." The female reporter muttered, turning to a male student who seemed quite agitated: "Excuse me, how are you feeling today?"

"Damn you! Give me my money back! How can you treat me like this?!"

"what?"

"I spent a month's worth of breakfast coins to buy a front-row seat from an older student so I could see Lorenwei! I didn't expect to be tricked! Now he's sitting there and won't give it to me! And I can't even beat him!"

"...Please report this to the school security office." The female reporter ignored him and turned to an older woman standing in the aisle. "Auntie, what brings you here?"

"My son is one of the teams that made it to the top eight! Don't underestimate me just because I work in the cafeteria; I got to stand here and watch the game!" The woman exclaimed with pride.

"Ah, so you must hope that the child's team will win in the end, right?"

"No, I just hope he can win over Lorenwei and marry her!"

"..." The female reporter silently turned to an old man.

Before she could ask, the old man gave a very simple and clear answer: "Grandson, Lorenwei."

Female reporter: "...Thank you."

The arena was bustling with activity, and everyone's focus was on: Lorenwei.

A student competition? Is it as good-looking as Lorenwei?

Who will enter the Misty Sea? Is it more important than seeing Lorenwei?

Which team could possibly beat Lorenwei's team? With Lorenwei on the team, is it even possible?

"I must get a picture of the most precious magic rubbing!" Atpa, the acting class monitor and teammate of Class 3, Grade 1, where Lorenwei is located, has made all the preparations for secretly taking pictures.

Polipponi, the teammate who was considered a liability, cheered her on: "That's right! When the time comes, I'll risk my life and throw out a wind magic scroll, and Lorenve will probably be on guard. But don't worry, our trump card is you! You can just slide tackle..."

Etpa, with an air of unwavering resolve, declared: "That's right! I'll be able to take the most precious photos! Even if I'm nailed to the gallows, the annals of human history will remember my name!"

The wise Polyboni gave him a high five: "I'd rather be infamous for eternity than be remembered in history!"

If Lorenwei were there, she would definitely question whether these two words are contradictory. But in the minds of these two, the statement is perfectly correct.

"I heard that," a girl wearing glasses suddenly spoke up beside them.

Atpa turned around and asked, "Huh? Who are you?"

Polipponi vaguely remembered: "Isn't she the leader of the Loren Care Group?"

“That’s right, it’s me. I’ve heard about your plans to harm Lorenvie, and now…”

"What can you do about it?" Atpa puffed out his chest, striking a thug's pose. "It's just an idea, it hasn't been put into practice yet, you can't punish me! What? Is thinking about it a crime?"

"Ouch! Your hand!" the girl with glasses suddenly cried out, and the next second she slapped him across the face. "You big pervert!"

Before Atpa could even react to the slap, a group of girls rushed at him.

"How dare you act like a hooligan in public!"

"She touched our commander's skirt!"

"It even rubbed against the front of the dress!"

"Big hooligan!"

"Hit him!"

"There's an accomplice! Don't let him get away!"

Atpa and Polyboni were overwhelmed by a group of girls, screaming in pain as they were punched and kicked.

"No! I didn't do anything!"

"We are innocent!"

The girls wouldn't listen to any explanations.

“We all saw it!”

"If I say you're being a scoundrel, then you're being a scoundrel!"

"That's right! No evidence is needed! Besides, you have prior convictions!"

As for those who tried to push forward to grab seats, the boys from the Lorenwei fan club spontaneously maintained order.

Even the school's teachers and security guards were deeply moved.

"The competition was really well organized this year."

"Tolorenwei's good fortune."

From contestants number one to eight, the rest areas are arranged sequentially around the edge of the large circular arena, with the main stage at the core.

Teams one through eight will then take the stage.

[First up is: [The Adorably Cute Dandelion Team]!]

The team of five young people, both men and women, received cheers from many students and their families.

They marched towards us in perfect unison. Look! Their youthful smiles! Listen! Their confident singing! Look! They held up a sign with their competition declaration... uh...

[Lorenwei, I love you~] The male captain at the head of the group held up a sign.

"Captain! You've gone too far!" the team members exclaimed indignantly. "Even though we're also fans of Lorenvie..."

"Do you think we can win?" the captain asked resolutely. "No questions asked, everyone gets a set of new four-star equipment, plus three days of hospitality!"

The team members cheerfully exclaimed, "Deal!"

[Let's welcome the second team, [Liyue Shanxi Team]!]

The female captain also held up a sign: [If it wasn't Lorenwei who defeated me, it must have been my love with Lorenwei.]

The team members covered their faces.

[Next up, the third team to experience the tingling and numbing sensation of lightning!]

[Loren, I'm waiting for you~!] The female captain held up a sign.

The team was almost entirely female, and her teammates helped her hold it up...

In the VIP lounge passageway, Lorenwei, preparing to enter, stared in disbelief at the enthusiasm on the field.

Kurara said irritably, "This isn't a competition, it's more like a confession contest to Lorenvie..."

Chapter 266 We fans value more than just looks!

The top three teams participating in the Misty Sea competition all targeted Lorenwei as their primary objective.

"Pah! You wish! Lorenwei is mine!"

"Go for it! Daring to confess your feelings is what youth is all about!"

There were cheers, jeers, and whistles from the stands.

At this moment, the original female host's voice was replaced by that of an older male host, echoing throughout the hall: "Students, beware of this misguided trend! Are you only focused on looks? Why are so many people only paying attention to Lorenwei? It's a pity for you all, and I feel sorry for you; people's hearts have changed!"

The room fell silent for a moment.

The headmaster, with a smile on his lips, pretended to get up and go to the restroom, and left for a moment.

Soon after the headmaster disappeared...

Alas----

The entire audience booed.

The students completely ignored the male host's righteous words and began to voice their opposition in unison.
