League of Legends: League of Unknowns

Chapter 190: Don’t Dream of Graduating If You Lose!

You could see many young energetic beauties reading books under the shade of the trees once you came down from the bus and they were indifferent to the people who walked past them. The people who passed them however, always took a few more glances backward.

“Mr. Fang, our people are still getting things ready.” The Fudan University student said. “Why don’t I bring you all for a short tour of our campus first?”

“Alright.”

Since they were here, they would follow their queue.

“Hey, look at that…one o’clock direction.” Yang Ying nudged Luocheng’s shoulder, his eyebrow cocking up as he spoke.

Luocheng understood and immediately glanced toward the direction indicated. A girl wearing a long skirt was sitting on the green grass under the shade of the tree. Her pose was elegant and on her legs was a science and engineering book, quietly enjoying herself in her own little world.

The girl was refined and it felt like nothing could interrupt her little world. Everyone who saw her felt like walking into her world. Luocheng was also checking her out, but from the side. He didn’t understand why, but looking at the girl made his heart skip a beat.

Shaking his head, he hurriedly banished all thoughts of the girl from his mind. He already had a girlfriend, this feeling was just an appreciation of an elegant and beautiful person, nothing more.

“She’s a goddess to countless people in our university.” The student guiding them said, smiling lightly.

The guide had clearly noticed where all their attention was directed at now.

“Tell us more then.” Yang Ying said unashamedly.

The others were also interested, their faces lit up when they heard that. They also wanted to know more about the goddess of Fudan University.

“Ehem, why don’t you let me get her contact information for you then?” A soft voice came through, and the only one who could voice it like that was their club member—Li Meiqi.

“Ah, it’s alright, no need.” Zhong Ren hurriedly shook his head, not daring to offend her.

All the E-sports club members were very aware of Meiqi’s temper. If they dared to praise other girls’ beauty in front of her, they were not far from being aced.

***

Somehow, as though the girl realized that she was in the spotlight, she slowly raised her head slightly, awakening from her little world…

And she noticed the students from Shanghai University who were wearing their sports shirts. Not too sure if he was thinking too much, Luocheng felt that she only glanced past the other members whilst her eyes lingered on him slightly longer.

Luocheng looked at her…

And he felt a strange feeling, like he had seen her somewhere before.

With his mind filled with questions, he followed the others as they walked toward Fudan University’s E-sports club room.

***

“Good day, I’m Huang Lin, president of Fudan University’s E-Sports club.” A student who was wearing glasses said as they entered.

“Huang Lin was the one who invited us, he’s also a friend.” Xiao Jia elaborated, smiling. “This is Mr. Fang, and this is our president—Yang Ying, this is Li Meiqi…”

Huang Lin nodded his head as he was introduced, channeling that unique confidence of a university student, and said, “Welcome to our Fudan University E-sports club. Why don’t we take a short break before we officially start our match.”

The E-sports club here was clearly more luxurious than their own, every cubicle was even separated by glass. The room was spacious and bright, ten computers were placed at the front of the room to form a simple yet trendy E-sports stage. They even had a big screen dedicated to the display of the matches.

You must understand, Shanghai University E-sports club used a projector screen instead, and the gap between them was very obvious. It really made people envious about the facilities they had.

“You may all rest here, our people are having a meeting elsewhere at the moment, but they will be back soon.” Huang Lin said. “Oh, Xiao Jia, could you come with me for a moment.”

Xiao Jia nodded and followed Huang Lin out. For a time, only Luosheng and a few others were left in the luxurious E-sports club room. They couldn’t help but start exploring their surroundings.

“If only our university had this same treatment…” Jian Feng sighed loudly.

“Yeah, all these computers are top-notch. The dividers between the tables are glass, it reminds you of some high-class office. Unlike ours that looks like a cyber cafe, once a lot of people gather, it gets so noisy that it annoys us…”

“That big screen looks great too, our projector always gets blurry and gives a lot of problems.”

From the perspective of the environment alone, you could see that it couldn’t compare to their own Shanghai University. This left Mr. Fang in an awkward position.

“If you manage to get a higher ranking, I will apply for more funds from the management. I’ll also speak to the sponsors to get more funds so that you can invest for the club to get better equipment.” Mr. Fang said.

After that, Xiao Jia came back from outside. His facial expression was a bit strange, and looking at him, they knew that something had happened.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Jia?” Mr. Fang asked.

Xiao Jia’s face darkened, looking like he wanted to scold somebody.

“Damn it, they’re actually letting their second rate team play against us!” Xiao Jia exclaimed angrily.

“Their reserve team?”

“Didn’t they say they would let their top team play against us?”

“F*ck, letting their second team go against us, they’re really looking down on us! We’re still in the top ten ranks you know!”

The whole team started to get agitated and began shouting angrily.

“Just shut up, all of you.” Yang Ying glared at those who were making so much noise, and turned to Xiao Jia. “Explain to me what exactly happened.”

“When they extended the invite to me, they didn’t say whether it would be their top team or their second team. They only said it would be a warm up before the competitions. Under normal circumstances, even without discussing anything, it would be the top team against top team, reserve team against reserve team. I’d already told them we’ll be bringing our starter team over and Huang Lin told me that their starter team is busy with something, leaving only their reserve team free to play against us.” Xiao Jia explained.

“Nonsense, they’re saying that we’re not good enough to play against their starter team?” Meiqi’s voice was not loud, but a cold whisper.

“We admit that their starter team is strong but they shouldn’t be blatantly insulting our strength either, it’s too much!” Mr. Fang was also peeved.

Although these types of internal matches between universities were private, eventually, it would somehow leak to the public’s ears. With Shanghai University bringing their honor to come here, they didn’t expect that their honor would be insulted even before the match began. It was unbearable!

“We’ll use our reserve team too then, since everyone is here anyway.” Yang Ying said.

“We can’t. Our victory rate against them is low, that is an undeniable fact. We’re already being humiliated, if you lose here, would you be satisfied? Since they’re using their reserve team against us, that’s great, we’ll teach them a lesson and beat them soundly. They’re treating this like a game, so will we. When we win, we will announce the result of our internal match. Shanghai University won, it doesn’t matter whether it was the starter team or the reserve team, let them explain themselves.” Mr. Fang said indignantly.

“That’s right, there’s no need to be vulgar, we can’t lose!” Jian Feng said.

“Yang Ying, you’re the president of our club and also the first team’s leader so you won’t play. If we lose, we can still say that that wasn’t our full strength, and if we win, they won’t have anywhere to put their face.” Mr. Fang said.

“Okay that makes sense, we’ll let Wang Jun take mid then.” Yang Ying nodded in agreement.

Everyone present also agreed with Mr. Fang’s strategy.

“They think that our Shanghai University E-sports club is an easy target to bully. Listen up you little pricks, if you win this round, I’ll give you eighty marks even if you don’t turn up for my class even once! I’m so damn f*cking angry right now!” Mr. Fang growled.

The E-sports club members were stunned once Mr. Fang finished his rant, and it wasn’t because he was giving them the marks, but rather, in the later half of his rant, he had actually used profanities.

This was the lecturer that everyone respected and loved!

Mr. Fang could feel all eyes on him and he scolded them again, “What are you looking at? If you lose this round, go and repeat a year, don’t even dream about graduating!”

“Mr. Fang, you’re really cute…” Meiqi laughed in amusement.

Looking at Mr. Fang who was normally gentle, lose his cool over this matter, Luocheng couldn’t help but laugh as well.

This lecturer was really interesting.

Coming back to reality however, Fudan University was really looking down on them. As a member of Shanghai University’s E-sports club, Luocheng couldn’t take this insult to his university lying down.

The good mood he had had when he saw the goddess earlier had evaporated, ruined by this matter. He was going to beat the sissy Fudan University team!

“Jian Feng, you’ll be Support.” Xiao Jia said.

“Okay, sure!” Jian Feng nodded hurriedly, this was his chance to shine!

“F*ck, didn’t we agree that Luocheng would play?” Yang Ying said unhappily.

“This is an important match and it concerns our honor. Jian Feng is someone who’s proven himself, let him have this round.” Mr. Fang said, looking at Luocheng after. “You don’t have any objections, right?”

“I’m fine.” Luocheng actually wanted to play as it concerned the university’s honor. But since they had already decided on Jian Feng, he might as well just let him play.

“Best two out of three, one person each round then.” Yang Ying said persistently.

“That works too.” Mr Fang nodded in agreement.
