Chapter 103: Have you never felt happy playing Fenghuaqiu?
Time passes quickly.
After the funeral, Chatoli Manor returned to its former peace, while the distant city of Sumia once again set off a craze for wind flower ball. One after another fierce competition stirred up the emotions of the audience, making them cheer from time to time.
, sometimes lamenting. As the game progresses, the fate of the players gradually takes different paths. Some people leave the field in gloom, and some people advance with great joy. For the former, people have no lack of warmth; for the latter, they offer worship and cheers. Competitive events
The charm is reflected in this.
Xino kept her promise. Although the family was busy with affairs, she would go to watch whenever it was Leila's game, and she would also watch Gloria's game by the way. However, at the funeral a week ago, Bai Bai
The fact that the Thornflower family has welcomed a noble and beautiful new head has already spread throughout the Grindelwald Fields through word of mouth among the guests. Therefore, this time, she cannot sit in the audience like before.
Instead of enjoying the game quietly at the table, the organizer invited him to the VIP box, where he sat with celebrities and dignitaries such as the mayor, the archbishop, and the president of the Fenghuaqiu General Affairs Association.
The Gustave family, which had been dormant for many years, returned to the world's attention for such a ridiculous reason. Sino felt extremely helpless about this, and the social atmosphere in the VIP box made her feel very uncomfortable. These people were just cheating.
Flower balls are regarded as a topic of conversation, but in fact, the topics they want to talk about are still all kinds of boring political games and interest exchanges. Some people even want to use this occasion to make friends and win over the new owner of the white thorn flower.
This situation is very similar to the funeral a week ago. They both mixed too much desire into something that should be pure. Although the players on the scene made some wonderful operations or played winning shots,
When a goal was scored, these people would smile, nod, and applaud, but Sino could not feel any sincerity in their applause, as if it was just a routine matter.
The girl doesn't like this attitude. She would rather sit in the audience, stay with her friends, immerse herself in the thundering cheers, and express her emotions to her heart's content. However, her current status does not allow the girl to be willful.
, she is destined to leave her hometown, leave the fields of Grindelwald, go to a distant and unknown world, and meet her own destiny. But leaving does not mean leaving everything behind. The girl still can’t worry about the Goldstaff family and those who are loyal to her.
As a knight, he couldn't worry about the aliens living in the Forest of Lothor, nor could he worry about the residents of Regram Town...
Befriending the upper class of Sumia City, even donating part of her family property, and establishing a cooperative relationship with the city government and the religious order, this is a talisman she left behind for the people she is worried about, which can ensure that after she leaves,
These people will not be harmed in any way, and the flag of White Thorn Flower can still fly over Chateaurie Manor until the day she returns.
But, will he really come back?
In the VIP box, the knight of the Gustave family felt something. She raised her head and glanced at the sky. Outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, the autumn sky was clear and exceptionally clean. Even the sunshine had a lazy atmosphere, but she was stunned.
He said nothing, as if he could not foresee his future.
At this moment, a burst of thunderous cheers sounded, and the sound waves visible to the naked eye rushed into the sky, scattering the tired white clouds and lazy sunlight. Immediately afterwards, the distinguished guests who were talking in the box began to applaud in unison.
To encourage the players on the court for their wonderful performance. It took Xino a moment to react. Her eyes moved down from the sky as clear as a mirror, and landed on the small court. She saw that familiar figure standing on the sidelines.
, waving towards the auditorium, accepting cheers from all directions.
The VIP box was at the highest level of the stadium, but even from a long distance, Xino could still clearly see the glistening sweat on her forehead and the confident and happy smile on her face, and couldn't help but feel happy for her.
"What a beautiful goal."
Archbishop Pichel Corddry, who was sitting next to him, smiled and praised, and then said: "Before, Phyllis has always told me that her friend is a very talented person, and she told me that I must pay tribute to Golden Glory.
The president of the club recommended her. But I think that after today, not only the province of Saint-Denis, but probably people in the entire Sigiriya continent will realize Miss Leila’s talent.”
Because after hitting this winning goal, Layla once again defeated a strong professional player and took a step forward. Now she has locked in a place in the top 16 - as an amateur player.
The people who qualified earlier than her were long-established players such as Caesar, Moon Goddess, and Heavy Gunner.
The most dazzling star in the history of Fenghua Ball, the great Lady Mystian, will her miracle be repeated again? No one can be sure, but they are all looking forward to it.
"Not only talent, but also strength." Xino said with a serious tone, as if to emphasize something: "This championship is just the starting point, Leila's future is still promising."
Because she is both a hope and a dream.
"hehe."
Pichel chuckled twice and did not continue to delve deeper into this topic. Instead, he waited until the cheers of the audience gradually calmed down and the distinguished guests in the box resumed the previous topic before he said: "Same for you.
, Miss Xino, your future is also promising - as long as you find the right path."
He meant something. Hearing this, Xino pursed her lips slightly. After being silent for a while, she slowly said: "Thank you very much for your respect for me. This is my honor."
When Pichel heard that the person she was thanking was him, not the United Order, he knew the answer to the question. He was not angry, or even surprised, but just a little regretful: "Although I knew you were unlikely to agree.
, but I still want to say that failing to successfully invite you to join the United Order should be the biggest regret in my life."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You are serious." Xino said: "There are many outstanding talents in the United Order, and I am sure there will be no shortage of me."
"But excellence like you is really rare in the world. The last time was in Linville City..." Pichel paused for a moment, and then cleverly avoided the name that should have appeared in the topic: "The Order jointly treats everyone
Talents that are promising have special evaluation methods, or positioning. In our positioning, you are a person comparable to Joan of Arc. Do you want to be like Joan of Arc, Miss Xino?
?We may have ways to help you, but of course, it mainly depends on your own wishes."
This sentence even vaguely revealed information about the Witch Association, but Xino, who had already known it for a long time, was unmoved. He still shook his head and repeated the previous sentence: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Pichel.
it's my honour."
"Why? I remember that you admired Joan of Arc, Miss Hino?"
"Yes, I admire the Holy Lady very much, but -"
Xino said word for word: "I will not be her."
Only one Joan of Arc is enough in this world, and similarly, only one Xino is enough.
Pichel understood what she meant, but just smiled and said nothing more. He set his sights on the court again. The next player was entering the stadium, and he was immediately greeted by a more enthusiastic crowd than the previous game.
Cheers, he is obviously a very popular player.
"Miss Gloria, a world-famous talented player." Pichel said: "I know she is also your friend, Miss Hino. I once saw her training on the court of Chateau.
It is also the court used by Ms. Mistian, which can not but be said to be a kind of inheritance. However, I remember that her performance in this championship was not stable. What are your expectations for the outcome of this game?"
Xino said "uh", you can't tell him that the Gloria you see now is not the same person as the talented player Gloria, right? That's not right, because in fact they are indeed the same person.
.
She laughed awkwardly and avoided the topic: "Until the moment the referee blows the whistle, the result of the game cannot be determined. It depends on the individual strength of the players and may also need to rely on some small luck. Therefore, although it is
Loria is my friend, but I can't give you a definite answer. I can only wish her good luck."
Pichel nodded with deep understanding: "That's true, then let's wait and see."
…
An hour later, the game ended.
What is unbelievable is that the Gloria player, who we had high hopes for, actually fell into the hands of an unknown player and missed the top 16. This is actually not accurate, because the player she was competing against
Although that professional player is not very famous, his ranking on the WT list is several higher than Gloria's. In addition, Gloria's performance in this championship was actually unsatisfactory, so she fell behind.
Failure is natural.
But this "of course" is described objectively, but subjectively it is not the same thing. Especially Gloria and Layla are both hailed as the most watched rising stars in this championship, and the latter is from the selection.
She only rose to prominence during the competition stage, while Gloria has been famous for a long time, with fans all over the world. She even made bold words before the game. Everyone thought that she would definitely refresh her personal record. Even if she could not win the championship, it would be easy to reach the semi-finals.
Loose?
Now it's gone bad.
Of course Gloria had a reason to say, like she had never touched the wind flower ball before, she was conscious but had no skills, and she could reach the top thirty-two after training for a month, which was already a gift; or
I didn't want to participate in this competition in the first place. It was all curses and mischief that forced me to stand on the field. I feel aggrieved... and so on.
But can these reasons be given to those ardent fans?
They all spent real money to support their favorite players, and they all cheered for the girl when she was in high spirits. Since Gloria has enjoyed that support, she must bear corresponding responsibilities. You can't just enjoy it at the same time.
Fans support, but also said after the failure, I have not sorry to anyone, right?
Ringer thought so, but he was not sure if Gloria would think so. He felt that with the psychological endurance of a girl, she might sneak away to avoid facing the doubts of fans? But let young people
What was surprising was that Gloria actually took the initiative to accept an interview with the media after the game, and said in the interview that her failure to achieve good results in this championship was all her own fault, and she had failed to live up to her enthusiasm.
The people who support her are really embarrassed.
Looking at the sincerity and apology on the girl's face, even the most disappointed fans cannot say that this is acting.
On the way back, because Gloria said she wanted to be alone, everyone else crowded into another carriage. Only Ringer insisted on riding in the same carriage as Gloria, and forced himself to ignore someone behind him.
The girl's gaze was like needles. On the carriage, he asked Gloria face to face a question: "Did Bai Ye ask you to be interviewed by reporters?"
Gloria's defeat disappointed her supporters, and some people may make some offensive and derogatory remarks about her in newspapers and media. Therefore, issuing an apology statement in public at this time will undoubtedly effectively eliminate their anger and redeem themselves.
Some reputation. But for a method like this, Ringer thought that Gloria couldn't come up with it and it could only be Bai Ye's idea.
Gloria lowered her head and said nothing, but after a while, when she raised her head, her whole temperament had completely changed. Her originally soft face took on a cold temperament, and her eyebrows also exuded a cold temperament.
There was an aura of alienation that could repel people thousands of miles away. So Linge knew that this was her personality coming online.
"Ha!" Bai Ye sneered as soon as he appeared, with a thorny tone: "Don't think of me as too despicable, and don't think of Gloria as too stupid. No one encouraged her to do this. This is all her own opinion.
In fact, I once stopped her because there was no need for her to apologize for a group of strangers, but she didn't listen to me."
Ringer suddenly frowned: "Is this Gloria's own opinion? Can it be said that the apology she made during the interview with reporters was sincere?"
"Of course." Bai Ye glanced at him contemptuously: "I know what you are thinking, but I want to say that your understanding of Gloria is too superficial. What status is she in now? A young man
A famous talented athlete lacks neither talent nor strength, but what is more important? It is the sense of honor, mission and responsibility that she should have as an athlete. These are not false. In this case, due to the loss of the game
And feeling ashamed, could it be an excuse she came up with to avoid responsibility? I want to tell you, that is not the case."
"You are not the person who knows Gloria best in the world." Bai Ye looked at him deeply, his eyes dark and unclear: "Of course, neither am I. So, we'd better all respect this guy. If anything happens
If she must do something, I will persuade and stop her, but I will not force her. Do you understand, dear Mr. Ringer?"
The young man nodded slightly: "I understand, Miss Baiye. Also, thank you for telling me this truth, which gave me a deeper understanding of the relationship between you and Miss Gloria."
"I have no special relationship with that little fool, it's just a simple dual personality."
Bai Ye said these words expressionlessly, and then disappeared, replaced by Gloria's blank expression, as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Ah, Ringer, could it be said that Bai Ye just
Appeared, what did she say to you?"
Ringer asked: "Don't you know?"
"Yes." Gloria scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed: "Although we have the same body, sometimes Baiye doesn't want me to see what she is doing, so she will let me fall asleep. But in this case
It’s rare, I remember the last time was... it was..."
It seemed to be so rare that Gloria couldn't remember it for a long time.
However, you can also hear from her words that the relationship between the external and internal personalities is indeed very interesting.
Ringer took a deep look at the gray-haired girl in front of him and suddenly asked: "Are you happy about the competition, Gloria?"
"Ah?" Gloria took a moment to react, and then she grinned brightly and nodded heavily: "Yeah! Although the feeling of failure is uncomfortable, it's also a bit disappointing to live up to everyone's expectations.
I'm sorry, but...it's really fun to play Fenghuaqiu!"
Ringer withdrew his gaze and looked out the window. The rural scenery of Grindelwald Fields was slowly retreating with the horses' hooves. There were two children playing in the open field with a simple racket. Witnessing this scene, the young man's lips
He opened and closed it, and seemed to be saying something. Gloria quickly turned her ears and listened carefully, and then she understood clearly what the sentence meant——
