Chapter 801 Preparations before the Hot Spring Trip
The team competition took a whole day, while the individual competition lasted for a week before it was over.
At this moment, the last game is particularly important because it is about the fight for fifth place and the qualification for the next round.
In this crucial match, Katsina and Malani, the inseparable friends, had to fight it out on the field.
The two players engaged in a tense and exciting duel, in which their skills and strategies were fully demonstrated.
After the game started, Malani used her advantage of high-speed movement to suppress Katsina's offensive for a while.
Katsina did not give up. She resisted tenaciously while looking for opportunities to fight back.
In a clever use of tactics, she used smoke to confuse Malani, then quickly launched an attack and delivered the winning blow, thus winning the game.
Because Katsina was too excited at the last moment, she failed to control the strength of her attack, causing Malani to be knocked out and fall heavily to the ground, unable to move for a while.
Seeing this, Katsina was extremely worried. She rushed to Malani's side. Seeing her friend injured, she couldn't help but shed tears...
Fortunately, after a doctor's examination, it was confirmed that Malani only had a minor strain and was not seriously injured.
As for the wound? Just apply some medicine and it will be fine.
After this series of fierce competitions, Katsina finally won the qualification to participate in the Night Watchman War with her own strength and perseverance.
……
At the final award ceremony, host Palan loudly congratulated, "At this point, the winners of this year's Return to Fire Holy Night Parade have all been decided! Let's welcome them to the stage with the warmest applause!"
As Palan stretched out his voice, the five winners walked to the center of the duel arena.
Palan introduced them one by one: "There is a player from Chaska from the Huayu Club who has successfully entered the finals for six consecutive times."
Chaska waved the hat on his head in a dashing manner.
The audience, especially the tribesmen from the Flower Feather Society, stood up and shouted in congratulations: "Chaska! Chaska!"
Then, Palan continued to introduce in a high-spirited tone: "The contestant Ianshan from the 'Wolu State' who once turned the tables alone in a desperate situation."
Ianshan is only as tall as a child, and her limbs are like slender branches.
She has long gray hair and fluorescent green eyes, her hair is tied into two low ponytails and hangs down behind her. She wears a hair ornament in the shape of a baby ceratops skull on her head.
In response to everyone's cheers, Ianshan waved her small but powerful fist.
Varesha, who was in the audience, jumped up and cheered, "Teacher, I'm here!"
Then, Palan introduced again: "After ten years, the winner is Jia Wulani from 'The Flowing Springs'."
"A well-traveled and well-known Kibangu contestant from the 'Hanging Wood Man'."
The two contestants also waved their hands and accepted everyone's blessings.
Finally, with his passionate voice, Palan introduced the last contestant who qualified, saying: "And...stay strong and finally emerge as a butterfly! Contestant Katsina from 'Echo Sons'!"
Malani, who was sitting in the audience, congratulated Katsina and said, "Katsina! The best Katsina!"
Katsina had a bright smile on her face. She waved her hands to the audience and accepted everyone's cheers.
The audience's cheers came like a tide, one wave higher than the other.
This feeling is so happy!
……
After the award ceremony, the entrance of the Olympic Flame Arena was crowded and bustling.
Although the contestants will immediately start preparing for the Night Watchman War, there is still some time left for them to handle some personal matters, such as reporting safety to their families or having a meal.
Malani saw Katsina coming out of the arena from a distance. She ran up to her excitedly, gave her a warm hug and said loudly: "Katsina, congratulations! Wow!"
Katsina was infected by Malani's enthusiasm and a happy smile appeared on her face.
But she still cared about Maranie's injury and reminded her, "Maranie, be careful. Is your wound okay?"
Malani pointed to the right side of her abdomen nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, Katsina, I'm fine now! Kuike applied some medicine to me, and it doesn't hurt anymore. Look, there's not even a mark left!"
After saying that, she pointed to the wound that had disappeared and showed it to Katsina.
At this time, Kinich also came over and said to Katsina: "Katsina, congratulations on your victory!"
Shao Yun also said immediately: "Yes, Katsina, you are really great!"
Facing the congratulations from her friends, Katsina smiled a little embarrassedly and said softly: "Hehe, thank you all..."
……
After the excitement, Shao Yun regained his composure. He looked at Katsina and a feeling of worry welled up in his heart.
After a while, he asked, "Katsina, although I am sincerely happy for your victory..."
"But I personally think that you are too young. You are just a child. Competition and real fighting are two completely different things."
Katina looked at Shao Yun's solemn expression and asked suspiciously, "Ah? Why do you say that?"
Shao Yun hesitated for a moment, then replied briefly: "Are you sure you are ready to fight the abyss?"
Katsina nodded without hesitation and answered with a firm look in her eyes: "This is my dream. I have been preparing for it."
However, Shao Yun's worries were not alleviated by Kazina's answer. He frowned and continued, "I don't mean to deny your strength, but... I'm really worried..."
At this moment, Malani on the side interrupted and said, "Mr. Shao Yun, you don't have to be so worried. Katsina will be fine, don't worry."
Kinich also echoed Malani and comforted Shao Yun, but the views he expressed were somewhat novel.
"Of course, the most important point is that the award ceremony is over. If Katsina suddenly changes her mind and decides not to participate in the Night Watchman War, it will be a huge embarrassment."
"If you disrespect the Holy Night Parade of Returning Fire and the Night Watcher War, then Katsina will not be able to hold her head up in the Echo Sons Tribe."
Malani further agreed, "Besides, with experienced teammates like Chaska and Ianshan, and most importantly, with Resurrection Poetry, Katsina will be fine."
"As you said before, people need to go through growth."
Shao Yun felt vaguely uneasy. Perhaps it was because he had become a father and was sharing his fatherly love with Kazina without caring about anything… But, after all, Kazina was not his child, so he couldn't meddle too much in her affairs.
And, overall, the fact that he had someone to take care of him and could be resurrected after death reduced his worries.
"Well, sorry, I got a little cocky...be safe then, Katsina."
Katina nodded and said obediently: "It's okay, you are also kind-hearted, and Uncle Pagar often cares about me like this."
Maranie said with a smile: "Well, now that the competition is over, there is still some time before the Night Watch War. How about we take this opportunity to go to the Flowing Springs to soak in the hot springs?"
When Shao Yun heard about taking a hot spring bath, he remembered the imitation hot spring he had taken in Inazuma a few months ago. What are the local hot springs in Nata like?
Besides, Mavica would have to wait until the Night Watchman War was over before she would have time to discuss things with herself and have someone to receive her... Not bad!
"There's nothing wrong with me."
Kinich shook his head and declined Malani's invitation.
"Soak in a hot spring? No, I still have some ritual props to send to the Hanging Woodman. Let's talk about it next time."
With that, Maranie finalized the plan and said, "Okay, I'm going to go to the Burnout House and pack my things."
"Then, send Katsina to participate in the preparatory activities before the Night Watchman war, and then I will come to call you, Mr. Shao Yun."
Shao Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait here."
……
Just as Shao Yun was waiting for Marani to come find him, he saw Chaska and Kuike appear at the gate of the arena again.
At this moment, Chaska looked at Kuike who had caught up with him and asked, "What's wrong? Kuike, is there anything else?"
Kuike looked at Chaska with mixed feelings and said, "Seeing that you are going to participate in the Seventh Night Watchman War, I really don't know whether I should be happy for you or worried about you."
Chaska smiled with relief and said, "I know what you are worried about. Believe me, I came back safe and sound the last six times. Besides, I can't die with the Resurrection Poem."
Kuike sighed and continued to warn: "I know, but I still say the same thing, remember, don't try to be stubborn! And..."
Chaska's ears were almost callused, but she still said patiently, "I have participated in six Night Watch wars. I know what's going on. Teamwork."
……
While Shao Yun was observing the conversation between Chaska and Kuike not far away, Maranie had already packed up her things. Seeing Shao Yun staring at something in a daze, she walked over and patted him.
"Mr. Shao Yun, everything is packed, what are you looking at?"
Shao Yun came back to his senses, looked at Malani, and said calmly: "Ah, nothing, let's go."
While Shao Yun was observing Chaska and Kuike, Chaska was also watching him out of the corner of his eye.
At that time, on the day before the registration for the Return to Fire Holy Night Parade closed, Chaska saw Shao Yun.
But at that time, Kuike was by her side, and she had to prepare for the team competition, so she didn't have the mind to find out Shao Yun's background.
But now, she had time to observe Shao Yun carefully.
After observation, Chaska felt that Shao Yun would look very handsome if he could shave his beard.
The rest of my impression is that he is very strong and should be a good fighter, but that is limited to fighting...
Just as Chaska was guessing about Shao Yun's origins, Kuike became a little impatient.
In her eyes, wasn't Chaska just in a daze?
"Chaska, are you listening to me? Who are you looking at?" As he said that, Kuike stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Chaska came back to his senses, concealed his gaze, and said, "Ah? I was distracted. What did you say just now?"
Kuike sighed helplessly and repeated, "I said, don't take it lightly! Really, you always ignore my concern..."
Chaska nodded as if it was a given, and said, "Oh, of course. I will definitely be careful. As for being annoyed, I'm not at all."
