Chapter 213 – In Fact, It’s the Little Bear

Analyze and understand the various strong squadrons situated at the peak of the Eastern Zone . Properly weigh the strength of the squads and use them as the baseline for the entire CHF competition . After that, make reasonable and rational judgements and follow up with numerous plans .

Such actions were extremely crucial and allowed one to see how far the squadron could ultimately go within the CHF .

“The information gathered from the training course is precious for each academy squadron . At the same time, it will be an important chance for us to establish a new image and appearance for our Tianjing Academy within the entire Eastern Zone . ”

Headmaster Greene was old, but he was still someone who wanted a bit of face . “Ever since Grace’s batch, our Tianjing Academy has always ranked on the low side within the Eastern Zone . Although we managed to defeat Adolf Academy, do not grow complacent and arrogant . It is also inappropriate for you to be too modest .

“When you guys reach the training course, regardless of whether you exchange contacts or make friends or even compare notes—do not act servile or overbearing . Make full use of the cultured spirit of our Tianjing Academy, understood? Wang Zhong, you are more calm and steady than the rest, and the squadron respects you . Therefore, I hand this matter over to you . I will feel more relieved with this…”

The old man had many words to say . Even so, he left some parts a bit vague, which Wang Zhong was able to pick up on .

He really wanted to say something along the lines of, ‘We, of Tianjing Academy, were once trash in everyone’s eyes . Furthermore, we were indeed the weakest back then . Although we beat Adolf, others won’t change their opinion in such a short period of time . When you guys go to the training course, you will be among the elite of elite in the Eastern Zone . People will mock and ridicule Tianjing Academy’s sudden rise in rank . If they don’t go overboard, just endure it .

‘Remember; friendship is the number one most important thing, alright? We are all brother and sister academies . Naturally, you can’t just toss away the face of our academy . If it becomes too hard, then make sure you give harder . Wang Zhong, you can decide when to do so . Just make sure it matters . There will be many difficulties once you’re there, but this old man is too high up . I have no control over those matters and my hands will be tied…”

Greene continued to speak and Wang Zhong, standing to the side, continued to nod repeatedly . Such matters could only be dealt with according to the situation . Student Wang Zhong didn’t know whether to take everything he said seriously .

Afterward, Old Greene began to talk in detail the specifics of their journey’s arrangements . Their set-off date would be three days later, and the academy had already arranged seats on an armoured train from a transportation company . This included basic needs such as housing and food while they stayed at Copperfield Academy . Their return journey was also completely covered . Lastly, they were each given 1000 credits as a ‘training allowance’ . Compared to the other academies, Tianjing had indeed put in the extra effort in these aspects .

With everything that needed to be briefed completed, Headmaster Greene smiled and said, “Scarlet told me all about those formation training you’ve been doing recently with the squadron . It’s very imaginative, very unique, and very interesting . Perhaps it will represent our unique identity in the future . The current squadrons from the various academies all have someone with some unique and outstanding abilities . As the captain, your most important mission is to analyze your opponents . Our squadron’s lack of experience is their shortcoming . ”

Wang Zhong was an extremely patient listener, allowing Headmaster Greene to feel extremely satisfied .

“Ha . Let’s just use those participating in this Eastern Zone training course as our point of discussion right now . The host, Copperfield Academy, has a six vs . five formation that is bolstered by Laura’s Explosive Bear1 . There aren’t many squadrons that can meet them head on . They are considered the explosive-type . ” Headmaster Greene’s mood was pretty good, and his excitement was at a high level . With regards to the various Eastern Zone academies, he was more familiar with them than most .

“The other Eastern Zone squadrons have their own unique traits for group battles . Lennon Academy is another example and is the academy most famous for their special abilities . Each of their squad members possess special abilities . When grouped together they have an array of changes and variations to reveal for any situation . They specialize in areas with special terrain, climate, and atmospheres . With an academy like them there, they become seemingly undefeatable .

“Yet another example is the Saxon Academy with their full assassin lineup that gives their squadron the titular Spectral Dance Formation . They display an extraordinary talent for strategies such as ‘stealing the flag to behead the squadron’ . There’s also Leian Academy and Troy Academy who have either all-ranged or kiting-type styles . ”

Smiling, Headmaster Greene continued, “These academies each have various different kinds of characteristics . Furthermore, their specialties are clear and distinct . But most still rely on several core members from within the squadron . Copperfield’s Laura is one such person . As for those who rely on ultimate strategies such as a five-person shield formation, or a five assassin team, or a five special ability user team, or a five ranged soldier team… once you reach the main competition of the CHF, there will be many opponents with such strategies . Having a prior understanding and adapting to such tactics will create the greatest of benefits for us . ”

Wang Zhong was of the same belief .

His personal formation, the one involving lots of running and changes in strategy, was in fact truly king in this aspect . Unlike those unique strategies like the five shields or five special abilities that gathered specific occupations, all they did was increase the squadron’s strengths while avoiding the weaknesses . It depended too much on mutual assistance and protecting each other’s back .

Regardless of whether it were attack or defense, he felt his own formation was the most stable and balanced of them all . It didn’t have any clear weakness and was able to grasp its opponent’s weaknesses .

And within the CHF Great Competition, orthodox squadrons with a variety of occupations were the norm . There would definitely be such squadrons at the Eastern Zone training course . To obtain more experience and develop more concepts for this virtuous way, those orthodox formations would serve to help perfect and compliment his own theories .

Naturally, he would also increase his knowledge and take a deeper look at those unique squadrons . If he could understand their true strengths and weaknesses, then he would be able to add and subtract changes in the formation that could even suppress them . Group battles were not one-man shows, but battles that relied on the entire squadron .

☀

When he returned to the Prodigy Society training room, Wang Zhong informed everyone about the matters of the Eastern Zone training camp . The group was still in a bit of a foolish daze as their victory over Adolf Academy gave everyone a large boost in confidence . In the end, however, no one had expected they would enter the circle of peak squadrons .

They were all happy and satisfied . All except for Student Ma Dong . After returning to Tianjing Academy a few days ago, he spent every day rushing and hurrying around . It was rare for him to return to the Prodigy Society . Now, today, he heard of how the squadron would go to Copperfield Academy and meet the legendary Laura, the Explosive Bear Lady . This esteemed President Ma’s saliva almost flowed out . In the end, he could only express his deep regret due to a lack of time .

“Tsk! Explosive ball queen… if only this could have waited two or three more months . How good would that have been!”

“Student Ma Dong seems to really like Laura, huh? Want me to give you an introduction in the future?” Milami asked with a grin .

“What are you saying!? There! Is! No! Need! For! That!” Ma Dong replied in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone . “I am a person who loves to study the Five Good Points Of A Youth2! I am only interested in her little bear! Vice-president, can you help me take a photo of her little bear while you’re there? Thank you!”

Wang Zhong could feel how ridiculous Ma Dong’s words were . Still, once the latter had returned to the academy he had enthusiasm that was bursting at the seams . Thus, Wang Zhong didn’t ask too many questions . In fact, seeing him pull himself together was more than enough . Ma Dong was a person who had the capability to deal with everything properly . The only issue was if he were willing to work in the first place .

Six vs . five meaning they have six fighters including the bear while the other side has only five . Study good, have good ideas, have a good work ethic, have good discipline, and have good style .
