Luther and Yangbai had a private exchange, and finally found that the two of them had a surprisingly consistent view. Although Naoto used the three-in-one magnet monster, he had the thoughts and ideas of using tactics, but his and the three-in-one magnet monster's own abilities were not enough to let him use the three-in-one magnet monster.
He executed it perfectly.
And this was also reflected in the semi-finals. The three-in-one Magnemite that was attacked by the fierce attack did not get help from Naoto to break the game. He only resisted a little and was kicked out.
Luther finally wrote Naoto's name in the column with the most potential newcomers. His flaws were not concealed. At least he was one of the few newcomers who could pay attention to his playing style and cooperation in this White Wind Town competition.
Other trainers are more focused on attacking, and winning or losing depends only on the state and the elf's own reaction. Their instructions are basically of zero help to the elf. There are even scenes where the elf's own response is better than the trainer's instructions.
This situation of building confidence has led to some parents capturing powerful elves and giving them to their children to participate in competitions.
Many parents seem to have never considered that powerful elves can do more harm than good to weak trainers. How to control an elf that is stronger than themselves is a topic that most new trainers have never touched upon.
There is no prohibition in the competition rules, because these problems will be exposed one by one during the competition.
Those who disobey orders and run out of the field, those who disobey orders and use skills indiscriminately to give the opponent a chance to counterattack, those who immediately become angry and avoid fighting as soon as they appear on the stage...
This is a true portrayal of some new trainers at the beginning.
The excessive care and overuse of the family members made them focus too much on the strength of the elves and ignore the most basic bond between people and elves.
Hiroshi entered the finals just as the two predicted.
Before the finals started, Yangbai held up a small book as usual to congratulate the two finalists. Compared to the other finalist, Hongji's expression was very indifferent and he was not very attentive to Yangbai's care and advice.
Yang Bai was someone who had been through this before, so he could naturally understand what the crux was, so he smiled slightly and returned to the judges' seat.
Arrogance is something that most newcomers have. The title of No. 1 in the world was placed on them in advance when they first came out, or they were booked to be No. 1 in the world.
This is a good thing and a bad thing, so it needs to be polished.
Many people think that polishing is a bad thing, as it hides one's edge and eventually disappears into oblivion. However, the reason why most people are oblivious to everyone is simply because they have no edge in the first place.
Sirona experienced a brief trough and self-doubt, but she still became the champion undefeated.
Yangbai's previous life seemed to have never been smooth sailing. He was beaten and bruised by the world, but he still became the number one person in the core gym.
However, it is understandable that as a newcomer who moved to Baifeng Town, Hongsi did not know enough about Baifeng Town, otherwise he would have had more reactions to the name Yangbai.
"He doesn't seem to want to pay attention to you."
Luther pinched a potato chip from Marylou's arms and chewed it while talking.
Yang Bai followed suit and took a piece, and then wrote after eating.
"Children who come from college have a solid foundation, but they are exposed to too few people and things. That's why they are like this. If they go out for a walk, they will change."
"Yes, then you should teach him a lesson. Miss Joy brought the list just now, and the most potential newcomer has been decided to be Naoto. I will try to guide him."
Yang Bai was right, people from the academy were always a little out of touch with reality. To him, he was also a senior trainer, so there was no need to be too serious.
She reached out to Marylou, wanting to grab another potato chip to satisfy her craving. Marylou simply gave the bag of potato chips to Luther, then turned around and hooked Mai's knee with her tail.
Mai immediately knew what Marilu was thinking, turned around and took out another bag from her bag, stood up and handed it to Marilu.
"It's better to give her less food. I had a dream a few days ago. I was pressed by Mary Lou and almost suffocated. When I got up, I saw that this guy was sleeping soundly with his arms around my neck."
Looking at Marylou stuffing potato chips into her mouth, Luther felt that if he were a little heavier, he would definitely be suffocated by Marylou in his dream.
Mai picked up Marilou and tried her hand.
"I can't feel it. It feels almost the same as before. Can you try it?"
Luther took Mary Lou with his free hand, weighed it, and looked at her with a puzzled face: "You eat so much, where did the calories go?"
Marylou looked at herself innocently, then at Luther, and shook her head.
Well, it’s better not to worry too much about the structure of Marylou’s stomach.
The finals of the Rookie King have already begun, and this three-on-three duel is somewhat interesting because of Hiroshi. Judging from the strength of the elves and their ability to process instructions, Hiroshi's side is obviously better than the other side.
Neither Yangbai nor Luther looked at it with a critical eye, so they came to the same conclusion, and the future is promising.
The game ended very quickly, with three straight sets in less than ten minutes. Hiroshi played cleanly, even a little... ferociously?
In previous games, Hiroshi always ended the game by crushing him. However, in this game, besides crushing, Hiroshi also showed off his skills.
Luther and Yangbai can only attribute it to Hongji's desire to get more recognition and praise. We are all young people and can understand it.
Infected by Hongji's crushing battle, the stadium burst into cheers and applause.
When the winner and runner-up were announced, Luther and Yangbai came to the stage together. The runner-up looked at Naoto aside with disappointment, because the award for potential newcomers did not belong to him, and he was a little confused as to why this kid got the award.
Naoto himself was a little flattered. He was eliminated in the semi-finals and was suddenly pulled back to receive the award. He was at a loss to face the applause.
The host announced loudly that the Rookie King competition was officially over, and what was about to begin was the customary Rookie King vs. Yang Bai, and the potential rookie vs. Luther competition.
Luther imitated Yang Bai and waved around. This was the first time for him to face such a scene. Fortunately, the weather was cold, and his face, which was slightly red from the cold, could not show much nervousness.
Yoshiro motioned for Koji to enter the battlefield with him, but Koji stared directly at Luther and did not move.
Yang Bai held up the pamphlet and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"Have a six-on-six all-out battle with me."
Yang Bai was stunned, and so was the host.
In previous years, the sparring matches were all three-on-three, with a focus on teaching. There was no precedent for six-on-six, and most new trainers simply couldn't gather six elves.
Ordinary trainers have poor ability to control the battle between all members, so this is generally not the first priority option in the initial competition.
However, the host's on-the-spot reaction was very good. This sentence was broadcast through the microphone and the whole audience was in an uproar. The excited words in his mouth directly turned into a young man who is aggressive and has perfect ability to smooth things over.
The cheers in the audience grew louder and louder, all of them cheering for six versus six.
Luther felt that if someone shouted "Let her live" here, someone would probably follow suit.
Hongji looked at Yangbai and shook his head: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Luther."
