Chapter 883: The Start of the League

Jiangcheng University.

After the grand pre-match mobilization and send-off ceremony for the entire university, the nine official school team members, the eighteen reserve team "water cooler guardians," along with over twenty logistics members,

all headed in a mighty force toward the host city of the University League—the Imperial Capital.

October 20th, 7:30 AM, also the second day of the Jiangcheng University team's arrival in the Imperial Capital.

Whether it was a coincidence or a prank of fate,

the hotel booked by Jiangcheng University for the team members happened to be the same five-star hotel where Su Hao stayed during the University Cup.

In front of the large conference room, Su Hao, wearing the black team uniform with "Jiangcheng University" embroidered in low-key gold silk, still arrived right on time.

Looking across the conference room, everyone was present except for Su Hao.

Su Hao didn't feel embarrassed at all; his gaze locked onto Zhao Yunlan and Li Xiao, who were waving at him, and he walked straight over to sit between them.

Zhao Lan, who was standing at the front of the conference table discussing with a group of support staff, only glanced at Su Hao once before continuing to stare at the materials in her hand, unfazed.

Li Xiao, who looked very energetic, poked Su Hao with his elbow and said mysteriously, "Guess who I saw when I was eating breakfast at the buffet downstairs?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yunlan's sharp ears twitched, and he silently leaned his head over, ready to listen to the gossip.

Su Hao replied without hesitation, "....... Is it a team member from another university?"

"Wow!" Li Xiao's eyes widened, scanning Su Hao up and down, and he said with an exaggerated expression, "If I didn't know you must have just crawled out of bed, I would definitely suspect if you were also eating downstairs."

"That's right, but it's not just one team member....... it's the entire university's team."

Zhao Yunlan's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but interrupt, "Which university? Top 10?"

Li Xiao nodded, "That's right. Looking at their uniforms, it should be Baodao University, which ranked fourth last year. I didn't expect them to be staying in the same hotel as us."

Zhao Yunlan wanted to say something else, but Zhao Yun at the front of the conference room suddenly coughed a few times. Fearing his aunt, he instantly retracted his neck like a quail.

Su Hao and Li Xiao looked at each other, slightly speechless at this guy's husky-like personality.

As for Xia Xiaoguang next to Zhao Yunlan, he showed a mocking expression, which made Zhao Yunlan's face turn the color of a monkey's butt.

When everyone's gaze converged on her, Zhao Yun, who was leading the expedition as the head coach, nodded. Without even looking at the paper materials in her hand, she directly had her assistant pull up the image on the big screen behind her.

"The opening ceremony starts at nine o'clock sharp. I've told you the rules many times on the way here. I won't say any more unnecessary nonsense. This time, I will focus on the strong enemies we need to pay attention to."

The screen began to show images. Zhao Yun pointed her laser pointer at the screen and said, "Just through the qualification review, there are hundreds of universities that can participate in the University League. It's impossible to talk about them one by one."

"Therefore, we only need to set our sights on the strong enemies in this competition, that is, the opponents who can pose a threat to you........ As for the other universities, I believe you, who have improved quite a bit, have absolute confidence to solve them, right?"

After speaking, Zhao Yun looked at the twenty-seven team members, including the reserves. Confidence hung on their faces, except for Su Hao, who was as usual standing out from the crowd with an indifferent expression.

Secretly complaining in her heart about why Su Hao was so calm, Zhao Yun continued, "The enemies worth noting are nothing more than the Top 10 universities and those few that are biting at our heels in the rankings, wanting to pull our Jiangcheng University down and promote themselves to the Top."

"Next, let your captain, Mu Yao, list the schools she thinks are threatening in the preliminaries."

Zhao Yun handed the laser pointer to Mu Yao, who had been prepared on the side, and slowly stepped aside to give the stage to her.

There was still no expression on Mu Yao's exquisite face, but those who knew her knew that this was just a superficial disguise. She spoke slowly, "After discussions with the head coach, I have listed several opponents worth noting in the preliminaries."

The screen changed along with Mu Yao's voice, and four school badges with different characteristics appeared on the screen.

"

Luodu University, Decheng University, Huanan University, and the First Police Academy."

Immediately after, the materials that Zhao Yun and her team had worked overtime for a long time to collect began to appear along with Mu Yao's explanation.

"........ Therefore, these old-fashioned universities have revealed their intention to advance to the Top 10 in their words during this period. Coupled with the players just mentioned, I think we must take the matches against them seriously."

Mu Yao finished her speech clearly, bowed slightly, and walked off the stage slowly.

Li Xiao leaned into Su Hao's ear and whispered, "I've heard before that Senior Mu Yao plans to stay at our university to teach after graduation. Looking at it now, I'm afraid Head Coach Zhao Yun really has the intention of training her as a successor."

Su Hao nodded thoughtfully. He remembered that Senior Mu Yao's family was a wealthy tycoon with vast riches. It was quite opinionated of her not to plan to inherit the family property but to be a teacher.

Zhao Yunlan on the side seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't say anything.

As far as he knew, Mu Yao once visited his mother, the principal of Jiangcheng University.

At that time, he accidentally heard that Mu Yao's family required her to take at least a top-three ranking in the University League, otherwise, she would honestly give up being a trainer and teacher and obediently go home to inherit the family property.

Being born into a wealthy family is not all good things; this condition is already considered making things difficult for Mu Yao.

Next, Mu Yao and Zhao Yun took turns explaining some things. Seeing that the time was almost up, the whole group headed downstairs in a mighty force, preparing to go to the Fenghuang Arena in the Imperial Capital, which Su Hao was very familiar with.

When boarding the elevator, Su Hao found that the elevator next door was also operating downward. It didn't intend to stop at their floor. Was it already full of people?

However, the hotel's elevator was exceptionally spacious.

Excluding the logistics personnel waiting for the second wave, their twenty-seven official and reserve team members could just squeeze in.

During the elevator operation, Mu Yao, who was silent beside Su Hao, turned her head and said softly to him and Li Xiao without expression, "........ You just need to think about how to effectively defeat the opponent's Pokémon. As for support and interference, leave it to me."

"This time........ I don't want to have any regrets. Please."

Ding—!

The elevator door opened slowly.

Leaving this sentence, Mu Yao walked out of the elevator first. Unlike the high-spirited Li Xiao, Su Hao was thoughtful.

According to the emotions radiated by Senior Mu Yao's Aura, it seems there are some hidden circumstances.

However, Senior has entrusted the right person. As long as he is here, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, he will have to obediently give up the championship!

Thinking of this, Su Hao walked out of the elevator door briskly, and suddenly a slightly noisy sound of talking came into his ears.

Subconsciously casting his gaze over, Su Hao raised his eyebrows and secretly thought, what a coincidence.

Blue-green uniforms, school badges like little suns.

Isn't this the Baodao University team?

Actually, before capturing the big tiger, I also thought about letting it appear as a Shiny Pokémon. I quite like this color scheme....... ===== CHAPTER 884 =====
