Two People Leave the Team
Chapter 91 Two People Leave the Team
"Your new team members will arrive tomorrow. Mu Ningxue, you can pack your things and come back to China with us," Feng Li said without any hesitation.
Songhe looked helpless.
The other three mentors also remained silent.
"I've packed my things, but there's something I wanted to ask the instructors," Mu Ningxue said as she stepped out of the group.
"What else is there to ask? It was already a lot of trouble to let you into the team. Who doesn't deserve it and insists on staying in the team?" Mu Tingying spoke up.
Mu Ningxue completely ignored Mu Tingying.
Mu Tingying's eyes were filled with barely concealed anger.
Mu Ningxue looked at the instructors and asked earnestly, "Those who perform exceptionally well in the National Academy have the opportunity to be promoted to the National Team. I want to know if I can become a guardian of the academy if I leave the National Team?"
This question left several mentors speechless.
Generally speaking, eliminated contestants usually leave, since it's not exactly a glorious thing.
"This..." Feng Li was truly stumped by the question.
After all these years of the National Team competition, I've never heard of any contestant who was eliminated halfway through going back to be the team's guardian.
The guardians of the academy are actually the second team of the National Academy. The purpose of this team is to facilitate magical exchanges between the academies of various countries before the showdown in Venice.
However, the National Team and the National Team cannot play against each other in advance, otherwise the Venice showdown would lose its meaning!
Japan has its own embassy guards, and China certainly has its own as well. Whenever a national team from another country comes to China for training, they must come to the Chinese embassy to get their seal stamped.
If the stamping fails, on the one hand, they will be deprived of the resources they threw into the golden ball basin, and on the other hand, only those who have enough national pavilion stamps are qualified to compete in the final battle in Venice.
Therefore, many countries will be eliminated from the national pavilion section.
Unfortunately, this was something that happened during the training phase and was not made public, which meant that the guardians were actually of no value to those forces.
Mu Ningxue's decision to become the caretaker of the museum was something no one had expected.
"It seems you're quite determined." Feng Li's eyes finally showed a hint of appreciation.
"Is that alright?" Mu Ningxue continued to ask.
"Of course you can. Your strength is more than enough to be the guardian of the gym. But you should know that the National Team has basically reached a high level. If you can't cross this threshold, your hopes are still slim. Every team and every person is constantly improving, especially the members of the National Team. Their strength will improve very quickly. Do you really think you can make a comeback?" Feng Li asked rhetorically.
Mu Ningxue did not answer.
"Okay, I hope you'll do well at the National Pavilion." Feng Li nodded.
Looking at Mu Ningxue, most people felt a sense of helplessness.
Mu Ningxue returned to her room to wait, while Feng Li then looked at Gojo Satoru sitting behind her.
"Gojo Satoru, I've already learned about your situation from above. With your abilities, you should have been the captain of the National Team, but I'm sure everyone has witnessed Gojo Satoru's style of doing things during this time, right?"
Feng Li's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of authority.
"I never cared about this anyway. If those old men hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have been interested in playing house here," Gojo Satoru said with a shrug.
"Yes, with your cultivation level, you really don't need to participate in the training." Feng Li nodded.
My attitude changed drastically after I asked about the five points above.
This is their trump card! They'll rely on Gojo Satoru to take first place in this year's World University Competition.
After saying that, Feng Li took out a box, walked up and handed it to Wu Tiao Wu, "This was sent by the chief mage of the Ancient Capital Guard, to make up for the demon-slaying tools you damaged before."
A rare look of surprise appeared in Gojo Satoru's eyes. He hadn't expected that old man Lu Huan would still remember that his magical artifact was broken.
During the battle against the Lord of the Underworld, the demon-slaying tools given to them by Zhu Meng and other prominent figures in Hangzhou were shattered by the dragon bones.
The others were very surprised to hear this.
The chief mage of the ancient capital's imperial guards—this is one of the true powerhouses of China!
Without thinking for more than a second, Gojo Satoru reached out and took the box, storing it in his spatial artifact.
……
The following day.
Suddenly, Gojo Satoru saw Mo Fan carrying a bag and following Mu Ningxue's steps.
"I'm going back too. I'll go to the National Pavilion with Mu Ningxue. You can just find someone to replace me," Mo Fan said loudly.
"Then add me in too." At this moment, Ye Xing also stepped forward.
He didn't need to go back to the Western Theater Command because of Mu Ningxue; he had other reasons for doing so.
Mo Fan's peculiar behavior left the entire National Team members and mentors completely bewildered.
quit!
Is it even possible for a human being to say such a thing?
Apart from Ai Jiangtu and Wu Tiaowu, every one of them had countless people working hard to secure this spot, and they cherished it like a treasure.
It can be said that they are the hope of everyone behind them. Let alone withdrawing voluntarily, even having the slightest thought of withdrawing is an outrage against both gods and men and a heinous crime!
Mo Fan is inhuman! He actually said he wanted to quit!!
"You brat, do you think this is your home? You can't just come and go as you please!" Feng Li's beard bristled, and he was completely furious.
Where did this brat come from? He thinks the Nationalist team is his own home, coming and going as he pleases!
He was forced into the team without the consent of the five mentors, and everyone kept quiet. Who knew that this guy would leave the team without even asking for permission? Did he even respect the National Team?!
"Mo Fan, let me tell you, if you take back what you said now, I'll take it as a bad joke you played on us. Otherwise, don't ever show your face in front of me again!" Instructor Feng Li was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and his face turned bright red.
"Why are you so agitated? I didn't say I wasn't coming back. Mu Ningxue and I are on the same page: we'll step back for a bit, then come back. You yourself said that if we perform well at the National Pavilion, we have a chance to be promoted, so isn't that enough?" Mo Fan said casually.
When the group heard Mo Fan's absurd and laughable words, their worldviews were almost completely overturned.
"Mo Fan, don't play with fire! This is not something you can play with. Quickly apologize to your mentor and let this matter go." Zhao Manyan really wanted to kneel down to this guy.
"Mo Fan, have you thought it through?" Gojo Satoru glanced deeply at Mo Fan, who was holding a bag beside him.
Mo Fan was willing to go to such lengths for a pink skull, so there was no need for him to offer any further advice.
"Of course, I've already packed everything," Mo Fan said earnestly.
"In that case, I won't try to persuade you anymore. You know what you've done." Gojo Satoru sat down again, his expression returning to calm.
Song He was truly speechless about Mo Fan. If it weren't for the instructions from above to treat him well...
"Feng Li, calm down first, this matter..." Song He still wanted to be a good person, so he quickly tried to dissuade Feng Li.
"Why should I be angry? I'm happy that someone wants to quit. The Nationalist team doesn't need people with wavering minds, especially those who joined through irregular channels."
"Get out, get out of here! I'm annoyed, get out of here now!" Feng Li cursed.
"Mentor Feng Li, why would I leave? I still need to fly back to China with you. Buy me a ticket and, while you're at it, unblock my identity," Mo Fan said.
Feng Li's eyes were practically spitting fire, but he managed to suppress it and said through gritted teeth to the fat instructor beside him:
"Take this idiot with you!"
After the farce ended, Gojo Satoru accompanied the Kokufu team to their next stop.
