There was one day left before the Freshman Competition began.
That morning, after breakfast, Feng Qi pushed the luggage cart and led the students to the entrance of the gymnasium.
Three coaches were already parked outside the gymnasium.
The name of the class each coach was assigned to carry was posted on its windows.
Star City Academy had three participating classes this time: Combat Class Three, which he led, along with Combat Class Six and Combat Class Eight.
Combat Class Two had originally intended to compete as well, but after a friendly match against Combat Class Six, they realized they would merely be making up the numbers if they went. They decisively chose to withdraw.
As in previous years, the Freshman Competition for the Eastern District was being held in Victory City.
Victory Academy in Victory City was also the academy that had won the most Freshman Competition championships over the years.
When they arrived before the coach labeled Combat Class Three, Feng Qi explained the situation to the smoking driver. He then led the students to stow their luggage before boarding.
After confirming that everyone was present, the driver took a hard drag on his cigarette, walked over to the trash can outside the gymnasium, tossed away the butt, and got on the bus as well.
Without waiting for the other classes, the driver immediately started the vehicle and headed out of Star City Academy.
The scenery outside the windows rushed past as the coach left Star City Academy and headed toward the airport in Star City East.
After a two-hour journey, the coach stopped inside the airport.
Feng Qi and the students got off with their luggage. After shaking hands with the staff who had come to receive them, they followed him toward the "special airport."
