Chapter 439
"I remember that in this tournament, all participating players are randomly drawn to decide their opponents, right?"
"If your luck is bad, you will run into strong opponents directly, just like my wife's friends."
"If your luck is good, it's possible to run into players who are much weaker than yourself."
"Could it be… Natsume-kun, are your opponents all very strong?"
Natsume Chikage carefully recalled the strength of Furukawa Saio and Fukuda Tsukasa and shook his head:
"They can't be considered strong."
Kondo Masaaki understood in his heart.
This guy just got here by lying down and winning; once he runs into a truly strong player, won't he immediately reveal his true colors?
He chuckled, his words laced with thorns:
"It seems Natsume-kun's luck is still quite good."
Kondo Miyuki couldn't hear the sarcasm in it, but just smiled kindly:
"Luck is also a part of strength. Regardless, being able to earn back the cost is already the best situation."
"But regardless, Auntie Miyuki still thinks highly of you, Natsume-kun."
"You must continue to work hard in the next round."
Akita Sana, seeing this, also took the opportunity to offer her blessings:
"Natsume-kun, I will also be cheering for you, you must do your best!"
Natsume Chikage thanked her politely:
"Thank you, I definitely will."
Kondo Miki had long known that the two opponents Natsume Chikage had encountered were not strong, so she wasn't surprised to hear Natsume Chikage say this now.
And after that.
Every time a round ended, the strength of the players in the next round would become stronger and stronger.
So she felt that no matter how good Natsume Chikage's luck was, it would always run out one day.
According to her calculations, it was highly probable that he would be defeated directly in the third round, which was tomorrow.
But it didn't matter anymore.
After all, Natsume Chikage had already earned back his cost, so it wouldn't matter even if he lost the rest.
It was just that according to what Akita Sana said, Natsume Chikage's situation definitely couldn't rely on baseball and shogi to get any scholarships.
In the end, Kondo Miki felt that Natsume Chikage being able to beat Nakajima Satoshi and entering the second round of shogi both had elements of luck.
Therefore, she didn't believe he could rely on these two "talents" to get a scholarship.
And the situation for schools to issue scholarships was still very harsh.
Without achieving any significant results or reputation, it was absolutely impossible!
