Chapter 812

~8 min read 1,435 words

Longcheng University, E-sports Club.

In the president's office, Guan Rui sat in an office chair, flipping through the materials in her hand with a solemn face.

Opposite her sat the captains of the two school teams of Longcheng University.

Guan Zhe, captain of the first team, led the team to the top 32 of the playoffs in the spring tournament this year.

Guo Yu, captain of the second team, led the team to a first-round exit in the preliminary round of the spring tournament this year.

The two looked at Guan Rui and then at each other, not knowing what the situation was.

"President, you called us here without saying anything. What exactly is the matter?" Guo Yu frowned and asked, his tone showing impatience.

Guan Rui stopped her movements, pulled open the drawer on the side, and stuffed the document in her hand into it. Then she looked up at the two in front of her. Her lips moved, and just as she was about to speak, the office door was knocked.

The conversation was interrupted. Guan Rui said first: "Please come in."

The door was pushed open. Guo Yu and Guan Zhe subconsciously turned their heads to look, and saw Shen Xing push the door and enter. As their eyes met, Shen Xing was also stunned.

"Are you talking about something? Should I come in later?" Shen Xing looked at Guan Rui and asked subconsciously.

Guan Rui raised her eyebrows: "It's fine, Shen Xing. Do you have something to find me for?"

Shen Xing looked at Guo Yu and Guan Zhe, nodded lightly, and after entering the room and closing the door, he said seriously: "I'm here to tell you, Senior, that my team is complete and can sign up for the summer tournament."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the few people in the room changed at the same time.

Especially Guo Yu; the look in his eyes instantly turned three degrees colder.

Guan Zhe rubbed his hands and didn't say anything.

Only Guan Rui's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "That's great, Shen Xing. You found everyone?"

Shen Xing was also full of emotion, nodding with a smile: "Found everyone. It wasn't easy."

It was truly a long-awaited result. Although the process was a bit difficult, fortunately, the final result was a success.

Shen Xing handed the list in his hand to Guan Rui. After Guan Rui took it, she lowered her head and read it carefully.

The more she read, the deeper the smile on her face became.

"Three women and two men?" Guan Rui looked at Shen Xing: "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Of course not, but everything is logical. I am very satisfied with the current lineup of members."

Bai Lianghe in the lineup was originally recommended to Shen Xing by Guan Rui, but Guan Rui didn't know or recognize the other two female players.

However, she still trusted Shen Xing very much. If it weren't for his attitude of preferring quality over quantity when forming the team, his team wouldn't have been dragged until now to be formed.

Therefore, the team members must have been carefully selected by him.

A sneer suddenly sounded, full of disdain.

Guo Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Three girls? You might as well form a women's team and participate in the women's group competition."

The university league didn't distinguish between male and female groups. Guo Yu's words were belittling Shen Xing and his team.

Shen Xing looked at him coldly and continued to poke at his dark history without mercy: "Isn't a team of five boys also a first-round exit?"

Guo Yu's face sank, and he clenched his fists tightly: "Girls are naturally weaker than boys in reaction and adaptability. You have to admit this. Looking at those high-level professional teams, which one has female players?"

Shen Xing sneered and replied calmly: "Preconceived contempt for others is the greatest unreasonableness and arrogance. We'll use results to talk about who is strong and who is weak. Just playing with words is useless."

Guo Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Guan Rui at the right time: "Alright, don't argue, you two."

Guo Yu's words just now made Guan Rui, who was also a girl, a bit unhappy. She looked at the other party and said with a cold tone: "The tournament has no gender restrictions on team members. Since this team is the final form of Shen Xing's team, it has the qualifications to sign up."

Before the few could speak again, Guan Rui signaled Shen Xing to pull up a chair and sit down, then said seriously: "Now there is an emergency situation to talk about. Originally, it only involved the two teams of our school, but now Shen Xing's third team has also been formed, so it has something to do with all of your teams."

Guan Rui sighed and continued: "The league organizing committee has just issued a new notice. Starting from this year's summer tournament, each university can only send one team to participate in the university league."

"What?" Guan Zhe was shocked: "What do you mean? Only one team can participate?"

Guan Rui nodded: "That's right. Because more and more universities are joining the league, and there are many universities with multiple teams participating, the university league has grown from dozens of teams at the beginning to nearly a hundred teams participating now, which has brought great pressure to the hosting and schedule of the tournament. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality and quantity of the tournament schedule, the organizing committee unanimously passed the new regulations. All universities can only select and send one team, and we are no exception."

Guo Yu and Guan Zhe were stunned.

Only Shen Xing was still calm. He felt that this regulation was not a problem at all. The university league had four rounds a year and was originally very compact. If every season was lengthened due to too many teams, it would likely swallow up the rest time in between.

Moreover, survival of the fittest was the norm in the competitive arena.

"Then it must be our team!"

Guan Zhe came to his senses and took the initiative: "We are the first school team of Longda and have represented Longda in more than a dozen competitions, big and small. We are the most representative of Longda!"

When speaking, Guan Zhe's eyes were also fixed on Guan Rui. Guan Rui was the president of the E-sports Club and had absolute say in this matter, and he was Guan Rui's brother. Both emotionally and privately, Guan Rui should favor him.

But would Guo Yu sit and wait for death? He immediately retorted: "Senior's words are wrong. This kind of thing isn't about seniority. The e-sports arena compares technology and strength; the capable should take the position."

"You, a team that exited in the first round of the preliminary round—don't you really think your team's strength is stronger than ours?" Guan Zhe looked at Guo Yu contemptuously and deliberately reminded him: "My team once reached the top eight of the league!"

"We exited in the first round because we were unlucky and drew Longcheng Jiaoda in the preliminary round. This team was the top four team in the spring tournament. If Senior had drawn them, then the team that exited in the first round would be you!" Guo Yu sneered: "Besides, Senior, don't you know in your heart why you reached the top eight that time? Shen Xing is still sitting here!"

Although Guo Yu didn't want to admit it, this was a fact that everyone knew and recognized.

The top eight was the best result achieved by the Longda school team in recent years, and that was because Shen Xing had led the team all the way to kill his way in.

"Alright." Guan Rui felt a headache listening to them. Two boys were exposing each other's shortcomings here; it was truly tasteless.

"The regulations were issued by the league. It's useless for us to be dissatisfied. This is not a discussion but a notice."

"Shen Xing." Guan Rui looked at Shen Xing, who had been silent, and asked: "What do you think?"

She thought Shen Xing would be a bit more polite, or would seek fairness and propose that the three teams have an internal battle to see who wins, and the winning team would get the qualification to participate.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xing said calmly: "Of course my team will represent the school in the competition!" **CHAPTER 813: No Need for That, Right? **
