Facing the tournament favorite, Imperial Capital University, in the very first quarterfinal match undoubtedly put immense pressure on the J University Team.
The teammates stared at one another, their joy at reaching the quarterfinals instantly dampened. Nobody said a word.
After all, everyone hoped to get lucky. Until reality hit, nobody wanted to believe they would be the unlucky one.
"What's wrong with all of you?"
Director Li looked at them with a faint smile.
"Why the long faces? Are you blaming your teacher for drawing a bad match?"
Everyone hastily denied it.
Who would dare offend someone who was both their coach and department director? Even if they thought it, they couldn't say it.
Only Hua Silai and Su Bai remained perfectly calm, without saying a word.
Hua Silai had faced Imperial Capital University before and experienced firsthand how strong they were.
Although she felt enormous pressure, she knew she was the captain and had to hold steady.
Su Bai was calm because he had received a quest from the system, which had been quiet for a long time.
[Ding! A change in the host's circumstances has been detected. Quest issued: Taking on the Elite.] [Quest details: Defeat as many Imperial Capital University students as possible. Rewards will be issued based on completion.] [Current total random draws (21/100). Long-term quest progress: The Price of Kindness (69/500).]
Ever since the Chosen Lucky One draw had given Su Bai the Life Orb, the system hadn't issued any quests, and his daily random draws hadn't produced anything valuable either.
As for his long-term quest progress, the university had awarded him 30 credits. He had exchanged the Beach Badge he earned in L City for 10 credits, and his championship victory in that L City tournament had earned him another 10.
