What's wrong with me, a school principal, listening to students' suggestions?

Lin Yucai was very serious.

"To correct you, it was the principal who led the team to participate in a legitimate and compliant non-governmental e-sports exchange activity."

The staff didn't know how to respond immediately, so they could only put up signs for them first.

Not far away, a young man in a black team uniform couldn't help but laugh when he heard the word "principal".

"Are high schools this competitive now? Is the principal personally overseeing esports?"

His teammates around him also laughed.

"Don't be careless, they might be a hidden master."

"Then we have to be even more careful, in case we lose we'll have to ask the teacher for help."

Zhang Yang heard it clearly and immediately frowned.

Ignore pre-race trash talk; let the results speak for themselves.

Lin Yucai patted his shoulder.

Zhang Yang snorted and didn't move again.

The lottery results came out quickly.

In the first round, No. 13 Middle School will face "Feiniao Internet Cafe Team 2".

It's considered a fairly well-known internet cafe team in the area, with two veteran players who consistently aim for high ranks and have extensive experience.

As soon as the draw was announced, many people on the sidelines were whispering among themselves.

"These students are probably going to be eliminated in the first round."

"The Asuka second team is quite strong; they even made it to the quarterfinals last year."

"Moreover, high school students are not mentally stable, and they will probably fall into disarray after a couple of losing streaks."

Su Qingyan stood on the sidelines, listening to these words, her fingers unconsciously clenching tighter.

Lin Yucai, however, remained calm.

He looked at Zhang Yang and the others who were debugging the equipment, and suddenly called them together.

"Listen, I don't talk about tactics; you know them better than I do."

Zhang Yang and the others gathered around.

"I'll only say three things."

"First, don't think of yourself as a student, and don't think of the other person as a seasoned veteran."

"Sit down, everyone's just a casual player."

"Second, don't get carried away with the wind, and don't panic when the wind is against you. Fight the same way you fight in your own stadium today."

"Third, winning or losing is normal, but you must have the spirit to fight back and not appear to be the first to back down!"

He spoke slowly, but as the others listened, they all straightened their backs.

"Principal, don't worry."

Zhang Yang grinned, his eyes shining.

"Alright, let's go all out! Go all out!"

Game start.

In the first game, No. 13 Middle School picked a team fight-oriented lineup.

Zhang Yang plays top lane, Xu Niannian plays mid lane, Chen Bowen plays jungle, Li Daqiang plays support, and Shouhou and Zhao Yang rotate as marksman and substitute.

In the first five minutes, the second team of Flying Birds clearly wanted to use their experience to set the pace, and continuously targeted the mid lane.

Xu Niannian was frighteningly steady, dodging both key skills.

Even with his health reduced to a sliver, he didn't panic and even managed to bait out the opponent's Flash.

The eyes of the spectators on the sidelines changed.

"This mid laner is pretty good."

Eight minutes in, the first dragon fight.

The second team of Flying Birds took their positions first, and all the members were present. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be easy for the 13th Middle School to take this wave.

As a result, Zhang Yang teleported down from behind and made a very tricky incision, directly crippling the enemy marksman.

Xu Niannian followed up with damage output, and Chen Bowen used Smite to steal the dragon.

Zero for three.

The Thunder Esports Arena erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap, they're fighting this hard?"

"Is this really a high school student?"

Su Qingyan stood on the sidelines, and even she, a layman, could see how beautiful this move was.

"Do they usually fight like this?"

"I'm usually even more wild than this, but I'm holding back today."

The first game ended in 27 minutes.

Thirteen won.

In the second game, the opposing team was clearly much more serious.

The early game pace was extremely aggressive, and at one point, 13th Middle School was 4,000 points behind in economy.

Li Daqiang got ganked repeatedly in the bottom lane, and his face turned pale.

"Don't panic, wait for the jungler."

"Push the mid lane, don't go out."

"Daqiang, fill in the ward."

There wasn't a single unnecessary word coming from Zhang Yang's earphones; he was only receiving information.

The fight lasted until the 25-minute mark, when a crucial team fight broke out at Baron Nashor.

Xu Niannian initiated with a vision-skimming control move, directly stunning the enemy mid and jungle. Zhang Yang teleported in, and Chen Bowen finished them off.

A man in a gray hoodie who was standing against the wall on the sidelines finally let go of his arms when he saw this.

The person next to him asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, how's it going?"

"This is a promising talent." The man stared at the screen.

The second game was a comeback victory.

Thirteenth Middle School scored 2-0, directly eliminating the second team of the Flying Birds.

After the first round, the way people looked at them changed.

It's no longer "Where did these students come from?" but "These guys are really good at fighting."

Zhang Yang took off his headphones, his forehead was covered in sweat, but his smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

"We won! We really won!"

Li Daqiang was even more exaggerated, his hands were shaking with excitement.

Su Qingyan looked at the children and let out a soft sigh.

Although they were playing a game, as one of our own, watching them was truly exhilarating!

"Don't be happy yet, there's more to come."

Lin Yucai patted them on the shoulder.

"Principal, let's really give it our all today!"

Zhang Yang looked up at him, his smile carrying a youthful sharpness.

Lin Yucai looked at the group of boys and nodded.

"Then let's keep going!"

In the second round of the draw, No. 13 Middle School was matched against the Fire Team 1.

This team is quite famous in the local internet cafe scene. One of the players is a jungler who plays Xin Zhao and loves to cause trouble.

"This team seems to have defeated Asuka's first team last time."

Zhang Yang sat in front of the computer, tapped his fingers twice on the keyboard, and whispered to the skinny monkey next to him.

"Then let's be careful." Skinny Monkey rubbed his hands together.

Lin Yucai stood behind them and glanced at the opposing team's lineup.

The jungler of the Blazing Fire team is indeed fierce, but the coordination between the mid laner and the support is a bit lacking.

He patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and whispered, "The enemy jungler likes to gank mid, so you guys in mid should be careful."

Xu Niannian pushed up her glasses, didn't say anything, but her hand was already on the mouse.

Game start.

In the first game, Zhang Yang deliberately created an opening in the top lane, pretending to make a positioning mistake to lure the enemy jungler to gank.

Zhao Xin fell for the trap and used Flash to rush in.

As a result, Zhang Yang used a counter-control move, and together with Chen Bowen's Lee Sin, they circled around from the river and secured the kill.

The whole process was smooth and effortless, and a gasp of surprise came from the crowd watching from the sidelines.

"That top laner is playing pretty shady."

"Can a high school student have this kind of awareness?"

Zhang Yang smiled and Chen Bowen's voice came through the earphone: "Brother Yang, that felt good."

"Stop talking nonsense and keep pressing," Zhang Yang replied.

In the first round, No. 13 Middle School won.

In the second game, the Blazing Fire team clearly adjusted their tactics, with their jungler no longer camping in the mid lane but instead frequently targeting the bottom lane.

Xu Niannian played more proactively in the mid lane, dodging the opponent's skills with a key movement and instantly killing the jungler who was at half health, directly disrupting the opponent's rhythm.

Although Li Daqiang was ganked several times in the bottom lane, he managed to escape at the last minute each time, managing to bait out most of the enemy's skills.

"Why is this support so hard to catch?"

"Daqiang, you run faster than a rabbit," Skinny Monkey laughed in the voice chat.

"Nonsense, if the ADC is in jail and can't run fast, what's the point of playing hookball?"
