Skeleton’s Training Manual - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: 052 The Quancheng Cup

October 7th.

On this day, Lu Wu brought Tutu and Hao Zhijian, who suffered a severe beating yesterday and was still limping, to the Quancheng No. 1 Summoner’s Training Ground.

Well, Quancheng No. 1 Summoner’s Training Ground was the largest training ground in Quancheng, and it was also the venue for the High School League.

Of course, Lu Wu didn’t come here today to participate in the league. The official start time of the league was in March next year, which was still a long time away.

But they did come here to participate in a competition.

In order to warm up for the league, and to allow a greater number of talents in summoning to emerge from Quancheng City, the city’s authority would organise a Quancheng Cup before the official start of the league each year.

As a warm-up competition, this game was basically a condensed version of the National High School League.

The rules and procedures of the Quancheng Cup were all simplified in accordance with the actual league.

Except for removing the individual’s competitions, the rest were almost completely the same as the league.

The contestants who participated in the competition were basically the third-year high school students.

Due to the high level of similarity, the Quancheng Cup could allow the participants to experience and adapt to the environment of the competition in advance, so that the players could have a better performance when the league officially starts.

Of course, holding this event was also very profitable. There were rumours that the city authority could reap a lot of money from each Quancheng Cup.

But this had nothing to do with Lu Wu.

For Lu Wu and other participants, the most important thing was the competition itself.

Lu Wu attached great importance to this game and brought his team over early in the morning.

Not only this, as the captain of this team, Lu Wu paid a lot of attention to the mentality of his teammates. Once they arrived, Lu Wu gave them a speech, trying to let his teammates know the importance of the Quancheng Cup.

“Our team has no teachers or coaches to train us. Although we have Uncle Li, he is not skilled at this kind of team competition. This meant that we are naturally weaker than others in terms of teamwork and team tactics. This is why the Quancheng Cup is very important to us.”

“Whether our team can perform well in the High School League next year will depend on whether we can get enough training in the Quancheng Cup, so please do our best! In addition, it must be noted that we should let go of our grudges with the special class. Our most important task is to participate in the competition, not to slap their face or anything like that. Even if you want to slap their face, now is not the time, are you clear?!”

Lu Wu’s speech focused on experience and training, completely downplaying his desire for the Quancheng Cup prize money.

Towards Lu Wu’s speech, his two teammates gave completely different reactions.

Tutu’s was needless to say.

This girl’s heart and mind were all full of Lu Wu, so her eyes naturally stayed on Lu Wu the entire time.

Lu Wu wasn’t sure if she had understood what he said, but he could see that her head kept nodding, and her chubby hands were clapping non-stop, being particularly supportive.

As for Hao Zhijian next to him, uh, this guy was not looking at Lu Wu at all the entire time.

This made Lu Wu very upset. Lu Wu’s speech was mostly meant for him, but the person who should be listening wasn’t listening at all, and the person who did not need to listen was listening so carefully. The infuriated Lu Wu was about to give Hao Zhijian a slap, but he suddenly remembered that they were outside. Since he had to give his cash cow a little face, he endured it.

Gathering his patience, Lu Wu approached him and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Suddenly hearing Lu Wu’s voice next to his ear, Hao Zhijian was taken aback. He subconsciously covered the back of his head, but he then realized that Lu Wu didn’t hit him.

Well, at this moment, he was slightly surprised and deeply moved.

At the same time, he pointed his finger in the direction he was looking at. Lu Wu followed his finger and looked over, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

In the direction Hao Zhijian was pointing, he saw a group of teenagers who were wearing the same uniform as them gathered there.

And Lu Wu had met almost every one of them before. The first time he met them was in the No. 3 Sports Field more than a month ago. Well, yes, they were the students from the special class of No. 3 High School.

While Lu Wu was looking at them, someone from the other side also spotted Lu Wu’s team. Then all students from the special class turned their heads, their eyes fixed on Lu Wu and his team.

In the past month or so, because of Lu Wu, the students in the special class had been “tortured” by Ye Qingxue.

This imperceptibly created an atmosphere of hostility against Lu Wu.

You could say that Lu Wu was now a common enemy of everyone from the special class.

Under such circumstances, the looks that the students in the special class gave to Lu Wu were so fierce that Hao Zhijian was taken aback.

Although this guy here kept yelling that he wanted to defeat the guys from the special class, beating every single one of them by himself, when he was looked at by those people, he could not help but tremble.

But he was still doing alright, at least he dared to glare back though trembling, but Tutu over there was not doing well at all.

She had always been timid, under their looks, she subconsciously hid behind Lu Wu’s back, trying to hide her chubby self behind Lu Wu’s slim body, which looked extremely silly!

As for Lu Wu, he felt a little wronged.

He didn’t understand why this group of people from the special class was looking at him so fiercely. He felt that there might be some misunderstandings between him and the students from the special class.

Of course, it was mainly because Skeleton’s equipment hadn’t come out. Lu Wu only had a short time for improvement, and he did not yet have the confidence to defeat them.

Because he didn’t have much confidence to beat them, Lu Wu felt that he should resolve the misunderstanding between him and the special class. They were schoolmates after all, so they should be friendly with each other.

In order to resolve the misunderstanding, Lu Wu decided to do the first move.

With such a thought, Lu Wu revealed a friendly smile at the students from special class and waved his hand.

It would be better if Lu Wu had not smiled.

With this smile, his “average-looking” face became even more “average-looking”. Charmed by the “average-lookingness”, the only few girls in the special class could no longer maintain their fierce glare all of a sudden, and all of them blushed.

Seeing this, the male classmates next to them glared even more fiercely, as if they wanted to beat Lu Wu into a pulp.

This f*cking scumbag was going too far, he was actually flirting with their girls right in front of them? This was such an inhumane thing to do!

Lu Wu originally intended to go over and touch their summoned beasts, but seeing such a scene, he could only forget about it.

“Sigh, why are the people in the special class acting like this? So unfriendly! Forget it, just leave them alone, let’s go in!”

Feeling wronged, Lu Wu put his hands down and led his team into the training ground.

Quancheng Cup’s registration was done online and started a week ago. Lu Wu and the others had already signed up a long time ago. They came over today to participate in the preliminaries.

But now, because they were glared at by the students from the special class, Tutu and Hao Zhijian became very panicked and nervous.

Seeing this, Lu Wu hurriedly comforted them. “Don’t be nervous. This kind of competition is more or less a little shady. The organizer will definitely separate the seed teams and give them some weak opponents to practice first. So, rest assured, our first opponent definitely won’t be too strong! ”

After hearing what Lu Wu said, Tutu’s tension was suddenly eased significantly. But Hao Zhijian murmured, “But what if the organizer thinks we are one of the weak teams?”

Just after Hao Zhijian’s words, the organizer sent Lu Wu and his team an SMS about the preliminaries.

Upon seeing this information, two of the three people in Lu Wu’s team turned ghastly pale…
