The battle between Luther and Misaki was in the afternoon. At the same time, Ash and Attler were playing, so only Dakdo, who appeared later, could come to watch the game.
Before returning to the player village last night, Luther reminded Kojiro to prepare dolls of Bankelas and East China Sea form Aplysia in advance.
Kojiro originally wanted to ask more why, but when he saw Luther's thoughtful look, he immediately came to his senses.
The trio stayed up until late at night and finally rushed to produce these products, which also caused them to sleep until noon. If Mai had not come to them with lunch, they would probably have been able to sleep until the afternoon.
The sleepy trio ate lunch while asking about Luther's condition.
"Young man Luther won't face a very powerful opponent, right?"
Last night, Kojiro felt that Luther seemed to have been thinking about something. He interpreted this situation as being a little nervous because the lot was not drawn well.
However, Luther's fortune was really bad. As the top player in Group D, he actually ran into Misaki, the top player in Group F, in the first game.
Misaki also bluntly said that she would participate in this competition just to compete with her.
Should we say that fate is a wonderful thing, or should we say that Luther was unlucky?
"So be it." Mai also knew Misaki's identity afterwards, but he always had confidence in Luther.
Meow Meow ate the lunch and said vaguely: "Well, Luther, keep up the good work. The better his ranking, the more we will earn, and he will get a share."
"He is someone who taught us a lesson once. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to lose to a short-haired girl who just appeared out of nowhere?"
Musashi also quickly agreed.
Mai could only smile bitterly, not knowing how to explain to these three people that Misaki was not a trainer of bastard fish, but that he was the most important person to Sirona in the past two years.
It is also Luther who believes that apart from Aitor, Dakdo and Xiaozhi, he is the strongest opponent in this competition.
After Luther went through his normal morning exercises, he locked himself in the room.
He is trying to relax himself and concentrate his energy.
It wasn't until the game time was approaching that Luther took the elf to the center for a final inspection.
Near the battle arena, the sound of commentary, the cheers of the audience, and the sound of the elf battle released by the speakers put Luther into a state of mind.
Mai did not come to see Luther. She knew that Luther could not be affected at this time, so she, Xiaosong and the others went to the VIP table prepared by Sirona to watch the game.
Even Wu Song, who loves Gonghuo the most, did not appear in the player tunnel. Instead, he stood on the edge of the battle field with Daye, A Liu and others and watched silently.
They had known for a long time that today's game would be no less than a semi-finals and finals match, so no one was absent at all.
"I thought you were going to say something to Luther and Misaki before making a fuss."
Daye looked at Wu Song beside him and said with some surprise.
Wu Song pouted: "Although I like to watch fun, I also know how to do it according to the occasion. This battle is of great significance to both Luther and Misaki."
"They are trainers who grew up under Sirona's watch. Luther struggled to get out of the quagmire of low self-esteem. Misaki stubbornly relied on his personal charm and strength to gain Sirona's love from the poverty of having nothing.
focus on."
"When you become serious, I really can't recognize you." A Liu teased.
Luther and Misaki couldn't hear the conversation between the three kings. Ever since they met in the player tunnel, they had just stared at each other silently.
The proposal to change the competition system has been submitted, and the moment the commentator announced this information, the whole audience was excited.
No one expected that in the main game, when everyone was worried about the damage to the lineup, there would be a head-to-head battle in the first game.
The cheers and applause outside failed to affect Luther and Misaki. The two people standing against the wall remained silent, as if they had finished everything they could say in advance last night.
"You said last night that you can only have short hair if you're traveling. In fact, I was wondering... would a ponytail be okay? And it wouldn't affect travel too much,"
As he approached the stage, Luther smiled and broke the silence.
Misaki also smiled: "That's a good suggestion, why don't you take a gamble?"
"What to bet on?"
Misaki touched her hair: "Since you raised your hair, let's bet on this."
"If I win, you can shave your head, and if I lose, how about growing a ponytail?" Misaki said with a bad smile.
Luther seems to be losing money on this bet... A bald head is a hairstyle that I have never tried before, and what kind of punishment is having a ponytail?
"Don't think that having a ponytail is not a punishment. Do you know how inconvenient it is for a girl to have long hair when she travels in the wild for a long time? It is not only difficult to wash, but also difficult to maintain. Compared to your bald head, I suffer even more."
Misaki seemed to see through Luther's psychology and spoke in advance.
When it came to this, even if he knew that Misaki was provoking him, Luther felt that he would be too cowardly if he didn't accept the bet...
"I bet, it's fun to watch beautiful girls with ponytails."
Luther and Misaki high-fived each other, and the bet was established.
Under the loud introduction of the commentator, Luther and Misaki entered the venue respectively.
Misaki is indeed a big-hearted contestant. When she entered the venue, she was in a mood to wave to the surrounding auditoriums and pose in some special poses for them to take photos. It was as if she was attending a banquet in a relaxed manner.
"Qianqiu has been practicing for a long time and has never been able to deal with big scenes with such calmness. You really have found a treasure."
Kikuno, who was sitting in the VIP table with Sirona and Karuna, praised him.
As usual, the pre-match session is for the players to confirm whether they have carried the correct elves, while the commentators continue to heat up the atmosphere.
"When it comes to Luther players, we always have to come up with the game management knowledge session."
"There are four players from Kurogane City in this competition, and Luther player eliminated two of them in the qualifying round. If he wins against Misaki player today, then no player from Kurogane City will enter the top 32 of this competition.
.”
"As for Misaki, even after going through the qualifying points stage, she only used three Pokémon, second only to player Dakdo who only used one Darkrai."
"Talking about today's game, we have to mention one thing. A game that requires a revised format must have certain special emotions. Before the game, Misaki and Luther seemed to have no connection. Today's revised format is really out of the question.
Beyond everyone’s expectations.”
"Perhaps Misaki does have an unknown grudge against Luther?" Another commentator took over with a smile.
I have to say that this sentence was well said, and the atmosphere in the whole room was immediately aroused.
What the audience loves to watch most, apart from the battles, is the gossip hidden underneath.
