Chapter 336 - 336 The Smallest Price!
336 The Smallest Price!
Team Kyoto watched the video analysis of the four matches while summarizing the day’s matches in the lounge. The atmosphere was harmonious, and Benedict was the most active of all the members.
Noel, Benedict, and Carolyn were excellent at restraining Aerospace’s four students’ attacks. It played a detrimental role in implementing Kyoto’s overall strategy.
Benedict patted Noel’s shoulder and said, “Noel, your performance today was outstanding, especially with me and Carolyn’s seamless cooperation.
“Because you’re more powerful, the three of us could easily hold off the four of them. Captain Bishop won’t forget you. He’ll give you great merit.”
Benedict looked like an elder talking to his junior, but everyone noticed him praising himself by praising Noel. Benedict’s actions made everyone laugh.
“Noel did a good job today. With the two second-year seniors, he didn’t look like a rookie,” Gavin could not help but nod and say with relief.
“Thank you for the compliment. It’s my duty, after all,” Noel said humbly.
“Benedict, you’ve done well too. I’ll compliment you, but I think you know where credit is due.” Captain Bishop smiled, and his tone was gentle.
“I’m already delighted with your praise, Captain Bishop. It doesn’t matter to me whether or not I’m the top scorer.” Benedict looked like he did not care, but his eyes betrayed him.
Everyone laughed again.
“Benedict, you still have a chance to prove yourself in the next round. Good luck.” Bishop smiled at Benedict, then said to the others, “Everyone has watched this morning’s matches. Our next opponents are the Military University and the host, Eastern University.
“Eastern University’s overall strength is higher than Military University, and they’re the host. The real test is the semi-finals against them.” Bishop paused and glanced at Moss.
“With our current combat strength, it shouldn’t be a problem to defeat Military University. However, the next thing we must discuss is how to win at the least cost. ”
Moss did not say anything but nodded at Bishop. However, he already had a way to deal with it.
“Captain Bishop is right. Our ultimate goal is to win the next match with the least cost, so we must avoid getting injured. Eastern University is our real opponent,” Sophia said severely.
She was most worried about the next match against Military University.
Military University was stronger than Aerospace. Moreover, Moss’s performance in the recent match would make them target him when they set up their tactics.
Similarly, they would do their best to advance. That way, the probability of Moss getting injured in the next match would significantly increase.
Bishop’s expression turned serious when he heard that. He looked at every member and then at the five professors. He took the lead and said, “Dear professors and teammates, let me share my thoughts for everyone to add on and correct.”
The professors and team members nodded, and Bishop continued, “Military University will study our match with the Aerospace in detail. Therefore, they will pay special attention to Moss and our cooperation with him.
“Furthermore, they will take advantage of Moss’s Absolute Defense’s cooldown time to launch their fiercest attacks. Therefore, I want to change the energy angle through Absolute Defense to catch them off guard.”
Cornell, from the school’s equipment department, nodded but quickly shook his head. “Just changing the angle shouldn’t be enough to catch them off guard.”
Everyone looked at Cornell.
He paused before continuing, “In the previous match, Moss had already demonstrated his ability to redirect energies and attacks into two.
“Since he could change the number, Military University should have also thought of it and can adapt to Moss’s angles. So, I gather they’ve analyzed this point and will be on high alert.”
Cubert from the combat strength department nodded and added, “With Ronnie’s experience and ability, he should be able to predict this. When he combines it with the spiritual power Moss had displayed, he should have concluded that Moss cannot change the angle of the energy too much.”
“Moss, how many angles can you change now?” Brady asked smilingly.
Hearing the sudden question from Brady, Moss dared not dally and immediately replied, “Mr. Brady, I can now change the angle up to 60 degrees.”
Brady nodded with relief, and the smile on his face widened. “Perfect. When you previously sparred with Noel, you cleverly arranged a protective shield to reflect his attack’s energy.
“It’s a team match now, and you can leave the reflecting energy task through your shield to your team members. That way, your teammates can change the attack angle from behind you.
“You can also direct the energy to your shield while your teammates adjust the shield angle to reflect the energy and attack the opponent behind you. Then we’ll have a 120-degree angle.
“Simultaneously, you could work with your teammates to return the energy of the opponent’s attack. They probably didn’t think of this. This way, we’ll have flexibility and diversity and catch them off guard.”
After saying that, Brady looked at Moss and smiled. “Moss, do you have any thoughts on this?”
Moss noticed everyone looking at him, so he composed himself and said, “Mr. Brady, the tactics you just said are perfect. However, after the battle with Aerospace, Military University will also be on guard against a joint attack that might affect me.
“Therefore, I suggest we use a more flexible and realistic approach in future matches.”
“Oh? Tell me the details,” Sophia’s eyes lit up as she revealed a beautiful smile.
“Firstly, my Absolute Defense can be real or fake. When my teammates launch a joint attack on me, I don’t have to use Absolute Defense. As long as I dodge in time, their joint attack can also attack the opponent in front of me. When they attack me, I can use my defense to block their attacks.”
“Secondly, in terms of flexibility, I suggest we reduce the tactics of the four-person joint attack like in the previous match.
“Military University will prepare themselves for this tactic. Moreover, it’s too apparent for four people to attack in one direction, and it’ll be easy for the opponent to notice.
“I’ll form a three-person attack team with any two members. One member will adjust the shield angle, just like Mr. Brady said. We can reflect the opponent’s attack directly if we cooperate well and find the right angle.
“The other team member would simultaneously attack me or directly at the opponent. The opponent would not be able to block these two energies.”
Moss intended to adjust his angle to shoot his teammate’s attack energy at the opponent.
“If Captain Bishop could also give his opponent a reverse speed buff, our plan would be even more foolproof. This way, we can defeat any opponent.”
“Thirdly, my attack and counter-attack can also be real or fake. When I’m not using Absolute Defense, I can launch an attack, especially when they think I’m going to use Absolute Defense.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an endless wave of applause echoed throughout Kyoto’s lounge.
