Chapter 945: END OF TRAINING
TEAM Yunyue's training lasted for the whole day. Of course, there were breaks in the middle. They still needed to eat and take a rest from using the VR helmet. Still, it was a very productive day for the team.
After playing tower defense, they played battle arena next. They didn't change teams and continued on with the current members. But unlike the first match, this time, Shen Ji Yun's team won.
All four of them fought hard to the point that they didn't even give Luo Yan's team a space to breath. It seemed that they were overly motivated by their lost in the first training match that all of them became so in synced that it almost felt like they were moving as one. So, it's no wonder that their team won.
The next one they played was the war game. This time, Luo Yan's team was equally motivated. With all of them going all out, this match took the longest before it ended. And it also did in such an unusual manner. Why? It ended with no winners at all.
The war game in Arcadia Cup, just like its name suggested, was literally a war battle between two opposing factions. Each team would be given troops to fight a war and the one who won the war would be the winner.
The way to decide that was not just by simply killing all the soldiers in each faction. It's going to be decided by points. A regular soldier was worth 10 points. The second-in-command was worth 100 points. And the commander was worth a whooping 1000 points.
The regular soldier would come from the troops given to each team at the start of the game. The role of the second-in-command, as well as the commander, would be given to the members of the team. They were the ones who would decide what positions they would assign each member.
There were also special positions that they could take, depending on the kind of war that they would play.
War games usually took a long time to finish. That's why it had a time limit of three hours. If three hours had passed and there was still no clear winner in the game, then the one with most points would win.
Of course, there's a faster way to end a war game. And that was to kill the enemy commander. That's why most teams, during a war game, didn't openly show who their commander was.
But there were times when even if one team killed a commander, the opposing team was still the one who won the game. It's mainly because of the point system. Even if one team killed the commander, if the opposing team had more points than them, the latter would still win.
And so, after the war game training match between Shen Ji Yun's team and Luo Yan's team, both had equal numbers of points. And thus, there was no definite winner between the two.
After a whole day of training, team Yunyue decided to spend time at Yuexing Pavilion before logging out.
Since they couldn't directly teleport straight to the pavilion from the floor they were in, they had to leave the tower first using normal means. Just like the way they entered it.
So, they had to use the elevator to go to the ground floor. The elevator appeared automatically when Shen Ji Yun pushed a button on the setting screen of the floor they were in.
"Let's do this training again for tomorrow," Shen Ji Yun said as they all board the elevator. "Unless, of course, you have other things to do."
"We should continue to train until the start of the preliminaries," Bai Ze said. "Winter break is almost around the corner, so, after all the exams and group projects, we'll be mostly free, right? I suggest we don't procrastinate and do the things we needed to do in advance so we would have more time to train."
"Why do I feel like you're talking about yourself?" Su Yuqi said with a smirk.
"Hey, I'm a good student. I barely procrastinate!" Bai Ze responded in an offended tone.
Shen Ji Yun decided not to comment on that. Because Bai Ze's 'barely' actually meant 'often'. If he said that, the two, Bai Ze and Su Yuqi, would just bicker again.
So, he decided to just turn to Luo Yan and stare at him to cleanse his mind.
And then, he suddenly remembered something important that he probably should have asked long before.
"Yan Yan, would you be alright? I mean, with our training and then your college entrance examination, are you not pushing yourself?"
Everyone turned to Luo Yan at Shen Ji Yun's question. It was as if, they just only realized that Luo Yan would take the college entrance examination in a few months. Every month that one could study was very important for a third-year high school student.
It's one of the reasons why Shen Ji Yun was hesitating whether to participate in this upcoming season of Arcadia Cup. He was afraid that Luo Yan might push himself too hard if their team participated. On the contrary, the other was also the reason why he decided to push through with his decision.
Because he knew just how much Luo Yan wanted to participate in the Cup. In the end, he still chose to do the thing that could make the other happy.
"Oh, that's right, Xiao Yan is an examinee," Bai Ze said. "Would you be okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm very good at studying, as well as time management. Whether or not we join this incoming season of the Cup, I'm confident that I can still get a good score in the college entrance exam," Luo Yan said with a smile. "My mock exam results are always among the top 10 in the whole grade. You can ask Ah Jin if you don't believe me."
"It's true," Luo Jin said in agreement. "But that didn't mean you should be complacent."
Luo Yan stretched out his hand and pinched his brother's cheek. "Yes, Mr. Grumpy, I assure you that I won't."
It was then that the elevator opened and they all walked to the ground floor of the tower.
