Chapter 77: Why Did They Come Out as Well?

Meanwhile, the first two teams to complete the tier-two missions, the Super Whirlwinds, and the Youth Forces, rested in the waiting hall.

Only two teams with a total of ten people were there, making the waiting hall seem exceptionally spacious.

Since Number Two and Three High were in the midst of a rivalry, the students had nothing to say to each other. They just rested without even making eye contact.

Then the number three spatial rift opened as Team Mill slowly walked out, making the initially quiet waiting hall more lively.

Will’s eyes lit up, and his entire person became spirited when he saw Team Mill coming out of the spatial rift.

The right side of White’s lip curled into a smile when he saw Will’s demeanor switch from being bored to a spirited youth. He used his chin to point at Team Mill and teased, “Will, your Goddess, Mill, is over there.”

“Don’t spout such nonsense, White. That’s not even half of it. Besides, she’s cold and indifferent. She’s not interested in me at all!” Will blushed slightly as he hurriedly explained the situation in embarrassment.

Will looked like a junior student at that moment. He entirely lost the fierce demeanor he had during his mission.

Tom, who was cleaning his Greatsword, couldn’t help but feel amused when he saw Will’s appearance. He jeered, “Hey now, Will has embarrassing moments? That’s rare!”

Meanwhile, Deng Lun fiddled with a glass vial filled with red liquid, looking at the ceiling in boredom. He turned and asked Captain Miller, sitting beside him, “Captain Miller, there are only three teams in the third stage of the Mystic Realm competition. The other teams haven’t come out yet. I guess they all got eliminated, right?”

“Hmm? More or less. One of Number Five High’s teams weren’t doing too well. It’s impressive that the Knight’s team managed to pass the first stage,” Miller lazily said as he stretched.

Then Miller glanced at Team Mill, who had just exited the Spatial Rift, and continued to talk to his teammates, “We have to keep an eye on Team Mill since they’re ranked at number eight. We still need to be careful even though there’s a gap between them and us. There are still a lot of variables to consider in the upcoming competition.”

“Rest well, everyone. The third stage will start soon. We should finish the tier-three mission as quickly as possible to keep widening the gap between the other teams and us.”

After a while, the teams in the meeting hall started to get restless, asking when the third stage of the team Mystic Realm competition would start. Suddenly, there was an energy fluctuation in the number six Spatial Rift.

Then the teams in the waiting hall heard a voice coming from within the Spatial Rift, “That was close, Moss. That Magical Beast almost bit me!”

Then the teams saw Team Moss’ walking out of the Spatial Rift with smiles. Although they were tattered and exhausted, it was clear they had experienced a fierce battle.

Nonetheless, everyone in the waiting hall revealed a surprised expression when they saw Team Moss.

Will, who had just taken a drink of water, saw Moss emerge from the Spatial Rift. His eyes were wide open as he choked in shock. “Cough! They’re still alive?! I’m in utter disbelief right now!”

Miller, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard the commotion in the waiting hall. He opened his eyes and saw Moss. Then he stroked his chin and said indifferently, “Hmm. That’s interesting.”

“I’ve never witnessed such a lucky team who could come out alive from a tier-two mission area, especially a team led by a Knight. Did they run out before completing their mission?”

“That’s highly possible. However, they still lost the qualification to continue in the team Mystic Realm competition. The prerequisite for entering the third stage is to complete the tier-two mission.”

“Yeah, but I think they finished their tier-two mission because they got easier missions again.”

“Hmph, look at their dirty faces and clothes. They completed such a simple mission, but they did it so pathetically. They’re already at their limit.”

“They can’t keep getting lucky. Their luck will run out eventually. No matter how simple the tier-three missions are, they would fail in their current condition.”

The Super Whirlwinds talked amongst themselves. They felt that Team Moss got lucky again since they could survive the second stage.

Moreover, the Super Whirlwinds thought Team Moss’s luck would run out. After all, the third stage of the two-star Mystic Realm was near.

Mill was shocked to see Team Mill come out of the Spatial Rift. They all thought Team Moss had failed because they didn’t see Team Moss for a long while, even after Team Mill finished their mission.

Mill, who was initially disappointed, became excited at that moment. She looked down on Knights and Moss previously.

However, White Deer High had sent a Knight to participate in this large-scale competition. Mill thought it was ridiculous. Therefore, she was unwilling to team up with Moss even though the school chose him.

But after going through the first and second stages of the two-star Mystic Realm, Mill realized that Moss wasn’t as weak as she assumed.

Moreover, Mill overheard Team Moss talking about Magical Beasts such as a level eight Terror Monitor Lizard and Explosive Wolf when they exited the Spatial Rift. She knew then that Moss’s missions weren’t inferior to her team’s.

Mill gradually started to admire Moss. Seeing as Team Moss was approaching her, Mill took the initiative to walk toward them.

Before Moss could react, Mill took the initiative to stretch out her palm to give Moss a high-five. Then she said to Moss with an unblinking smile, “Well done, Moss!”

Mill’s actions stunned her teammates and Team Moss. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

Moss was also amazed at Mill’s gesture. But when he saw the usually arrogant Mill reach her hand out, he thought it would be awkward if he left her hanging. Moss hesitated, but he reached out his hand and gave Mill a high-five.

“Your team was faster than us, Mill!”

Smack!

A crisp sound of two hands clapping echoed, and the surrounding team members, who were in a daze, suddenly woke up and quickly went forward to greet each other. Then White Deer High’s students talked to each other as if they were at a family reunion.

Considering the smiles of the two teams and their intimate gestures, one could tell that these teams came from the same school.

After a short exchange of blessings, the two teams went to their respective waiting areas for the start of the third stage.

Alan’s chubby face revealed a worried expression when Team Moss entered the waiting area. He put his arm around Moss’s shoulder and whispered, “Moss, we already faced a level eight Red Flame White Tiger in the second stage. Does that mean we will face a level nine Red Flame White Tiger next?”

Alan shivered instinctively. “I was afraid we wouldn’t have completed the previous mission if you hadn’t dealt the final blow to the level eight Red Flame White Tiger just now.”

Moss patted Alan’s shoulder and said to everyone, “As long as we persevere until the end, no matter what the mission is, we can succeed.”

“The difficulty of this competition will undoubtedly increase in the third stage. We can only continue to use all of our strength to face more vigorous opponents.”

Moss clenched his fists and swept his determined gaze across his teammates as he spoke. Moss’s resolute expression encouraged his teammates.
