On March 20, 201 in the Alliance Calendar, the Quartz Branch of Tianguan Central Bank encountered a rare "bank robbery."
Sure enough, no miracle occurred. Under the siege of civilian trainers, the robbery failed, and the four stupid thieves Theoden brothers were arrested again.
In this world, it is not that easy to succeed in "robbing a bank".
At the same time, on this very day, in Quartz City, all the top eight candidates for the Johto Newcomer Competition have been announced...
There will be a day off in the schedule tomorrow, and the draw for the order of subsequent duels will be held at the same time!
After Eminem and Zero separated, they returned to the bank, just to make some arrangements, and made an appointment with Naoki for a new signing date. After that, Naoki would sort out some obvious problems in Sonoko's plan, or...
...Correction!
It can be said that if this plan was written by someone else and was not guaranteed by Amu's technical ability, then it would be completely worthless and no bank would pay attention to it.
Just because she is Sonoko and he is Eminem, the plan itself is not important.
"Eh? There are still so many changes to be made..." Yuanzi glanced helplessly at the branch manager standing aside.
but……
The branch manager was still in shock and did not dare to deny the suggestion of the financing section chief Naoki.
"Aunt Tomoko probably hopes that you can grow through this." Eminem advised from the side.
"Okay...you are competing after all." Yuanzi cheered up.
Although Sonoko was a little reluctant, Eminem felt that Aunt Tomoko probably wanted Sonoko to learn more about something, and she might even have put her in because she knew there was a "rigid" or principled person in charge of financing here.
The loan is arranged at a branch...
…
The next day, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the lottery ceremony began, and Eminem arrived at the venue on time.
Because it is not a live broadcast of the entire lottery process, after all, the rookie competition does not attract so much attention and will only be broadcast afterwards, so the process is so complicated, but also orderly and formal.
And the moment he met the lottery guests, Eminem finally understood what "evil fate" means!
After not seeing each other for a few months, Sakaki's hairline has moved up again...
That's right, the draw guest is "Sakaki" again!
This Eminem doesn't understand. During the Kanto Rookie Competition, the guest of the draw was the Kanto Champion. How come in the Johto Rookie Competition, the guest of the draw was still the Kanto Champion?
Is this reasonable?
But except for Eminem, other contestants don’t seem to have such doubts...
It's nothing more than Sakaki and Adu, as the double champions of the Quartz Alliance, showing off their "love" and showing that the Quartz Alliance is still one heart.
Sakaki was indeed smiling like a spring breeze at this time, and explained in a simple and amiable manner that Adu asked him to come and see "the future of Johto", as if the two of them were really close friends.
But Eminem knew that privately, they didn't even add friends in the illustrated book...
"Okay, let's forget about this long and boring discussion! Let's start drawing lots and proceed according to the order of the qualifiers for the corresponding gym groups." Sakaki said and looked at Eminem.
Obviously, he was asked to draw first in the qualifiers...
Now the real top eight, based on the rankings during the qualifiers, the eighth and fifth places have been replaced - the academy won two games in Johto this year!
Although judging from the situation over the years, the academic faction often does not reach half of the seats, but there are usually three or four seats. This year, in Kanto and Johto, the overall results of the academic faction are not ideal.
However, there are also objective factors. For example, in the Kanto Newcomer Competition, Bagir, who is from the academy, temporarily decided to become a traveler. In the Johto Newcomer Competition, Sojiro, who was supposed to be ranked first, missed one exam and fell to eighth. Otherwise,
If he plays against A Xiang, who is ranked eighth in the qualifiers, his chances of winning are still quite high.
At this time, Eminem came forward and stared at Sakaki for a long time.
Sakaki felt a little uncomfortable with his hairline being stared at, so he took the initiative to ask: "Is there something on my face?"
"Nothing... I feel that Mr. Sakaki is more suitable to be the spokesperson of [Hair Exploding Potion] now." Eminem said with emotion - the effect [before use] will be more obvious.
Sakaki:……
"Is this the second time you have come to me to draw lots? Just like in the Kanto competition, you can just draw directly." Saka said with a straight face that he did not want to continue this topic.
Eminem also released a small plane at this time...
Sakaki glanced at the small plane twice - trying to use the power of [Tian En] to affect the trainer's luck is not a strange behavior, but... this "Pokkiss" wing kept flapping towards him.
, making Sakaki feel like it is expelling the God of Plague!
"Number 1." Sakaki said after seeing the lot drawn by Eminem.
Because he was the first one to draw, it’s still hard to tell whether Eminem’s lot was a good one or a bad one.
Eminem had the intention to let the little plane keep slapping Sakaki here, but under Sakaki's fierce gaze, he had no choice but to give up.
This time, from a competition perspective, Eminem has no special taboos regarding the order of battles.
only……
Eminem hopes that the Witcher Prison can be in the same half zone as himself, and it is best to face him in the first game!
That is to say, I hope he draws number 2, or number 3 or 4.
Soon, Ajiu was the third one to draw lots, and the second player to draw the lot was number six, which made Eminem very excited. In this case, the probability is half and half...
"Agaon Player No. 7." Sakaki announced.
slim Shady:……
Sakaki seemed to feel resentment and turned around to look at his mother.
Not in the same half zone!
Next, even if neither of them loses, they still have to meet in the finals.
As far as the competition is concerned, Eminem doesn't care, but...
What Eminem wants is to remove the bullet from his grandfather's "Hairy Troll" body as soon as possible so that it can be used as physical evidence!
If we can only meet in the finals...
The court session is on the 24th, and the finals are also on the 24th, and they are both held in the morning!
Is this also part of your plan? Sakaki!
Sakaki:……
Sakaki felt more and more the feeling of being watched on his hairline.
And just when Eminem was feeling resentful, his opponent in the first round had already appeared...
"Switch player, number two." Sakaki announced at this time.
Professional players often have "nicknames". In addition to the names that are customary by the audience, there are also some nicknames that were chosen by themselves when they debuted. As long as they are not too unpleasant swear words, professional associations will adopt them, and they will also be called like this during game commentary.
For example, when Adu was young and participated in the professional league, he was called "Dragon Envoy". When Sakaki participated in the professional league, he was called "Dadi".
"Kazuyoshi Fuefuki" has not yet made his debut and does not have a recognized stage name, but Sakaki still calls him by his usual "nickname" to show kindness...
