【Option [-]】

[To persuade Tao Tao to sign up]

……

If the other party didn't sign up, then everything would be out of the question.

Zheng Zhuo looked at Tao Tao's leaving back and thought.

His first task should be to get Tao Tao to sign up.

As for letting her compete alone, or with other people...

"It must be better to compete alone."

Zheng Zhuo is so sure.

After all, the first round of the game [knockout] requires all members of the team to reach the finish line in order to pass.

If the new partner is even worse than Tao Tao, Zheng Zhuo has to support both of them at the same time.Difficulty will increase exponentially.

If the new partner is much better than Tao Tao...

... Then why did he/she come to partner with Tao Tao?Even if you can find such a partner, you will be afraid that there is a conspiracy behind it, which is even more disturbing.

After it is clear that one person is required to participate in the competition, the next question arises.

That is, Tao Tao could not be persuaded to compete alone.

Zheng Zhuo used the janitor's authority to enter the library database to check the school regulations. The school regulations did not clearly state that [single players are prohibited], but after checking the previous records, he found that there were only some special circumstances—for example, a partner was temporarily injured, or a partner was injured. Temporary dismantling of the group - only then will there be a situation where one person participates.

Not surprisingly, almost all solo players were eliminated in the first round.Even if there are a few lucky enough to enter the second round, they will be completely unable to compete with one against two, and they will all be out at the bottom of the points competition.

That is to say...

Solo contests cannot win.Even if Tao Tao was not weakened by the curse of attribute change, he might not be able to win the championship on his own.

It's no wonder she didn't choose to sign up alone.

Zheng Zhuo pushed the sweeping machine to the place where Tao Tao was sitting just now.He saw many thick books piled on the table.

"The Circuit of Magic", "Talking about Differentiation of Nature", "Magic: Basic Mastery", "Rehabilitation after Injury"...

Almost all directions are covered.It can be seen that Tao Tao himself still wants to recover as soon as possible and participate in the competition.

"...If I am motivated, then it will be easy to handle."

Zheng Zhuo touched his chin.Recently, he has gotten used to doing this while thinking.

"If you are motivated, it means... Even if some coercive means make her participate half-heartedly, she will not immediately think of quitting..."

Zheng Zhuo pushed the buzzing sweeping machine and left the library again.

To persuade Tao Tao to sign up, first of all, he needs to understand the other party's current situation and interpersonal relationship.

What kind of situation can convince her?What kind of person can persuade her?Or... What kind of means can you play?
In order to know these things, Zheng Zhuo will investigate.And speaking of investigating...

He now has a very useful skill.

……

The get out of class bell rang.Several teachers left the classroom with lesson plans in their arms.They met in the corridor, nodded to each other, and walked down the corridor to the teacher's office.

During the period, the teachers passed by the school bulletin board.

"This year's academy competition is about to start..."

I don't know who sighed first.

"Yeah, time flies so fast."

"It feels like the last session was still yesterday."

The teachers chatted.

"Hey, tell me, who is most likely to win the championship this year?"

asked the teacher who was at the end.

"Guo Shuang from class one? In the past few months, the stability of shooting has improved a lot."

"I'm more optimistic about Lin Duo from class three. Last year he was second, and this year's magic accuracy assessment score is also very high."

"Hey, tell me, Tao Tao...how is it?"

"what……"

The professors sighed simultaneously and looked away.

"It's a pity child."

"Is it? But..."

"It should be out of play."

"—don't say that."

In a kind of teacher who looked away, the teacher who walked in the front frowned and turned his head.It was a gray-haired male teacher wearing big, old-fashioned glasses.

"She's working hard! She's the hardest student I've ever seen—and she has a good understanding of magic—"

"No, but, there are only five days left before the registration? If you haven't recovered yet, you probably won't be able to catch up..."

"Don't say that."

The male professor said seriously.

"Until the end, we can't make a conclusion...I hope she can catch up—"

Click.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound that seemed to be taking pictures.

Huh?The professors looked around because of the sound.The end of get out of class is very late, and there are many people in the corridor.Everyone saw a few students walking past while fiddling with their watches.Thinking about it, they were probably confirming the study plan.

Thinking this way, the professors entered the teacher's office.No one noticed that one of the teachers just now quietly left.

……

Shortly after.

"Eh~ Sister Taotao? What a pity for her!"

"No pity! No pity! I have always paid attention to her—although she is very strong, she is a very simple person! I have never seen someone who is so devoted to the study of combat skills like her! I just saw her, That's why she decided to join the combat squad! She must be able to recover—she must have time to sign up!"

"Hey~ But, it's already..."

"I don't listen, I don't listen! Just in time!"

Click.

"Huh? Did someone take a picture of you just now?"

"No~ Who would suddenly take a picture? You heard it wrong~"

……

"Tao Tao? I can't be a magister now. I'm so laughing. I have occupied the position for so many years, isn't it just because I have a rare attribute? This is also God's fairness. Give up the position and let us sit too. sit!"

Click.

……

"Huh? Tao Tao? Ah...the one who always gets No.1, right? He seemed to be sick a while ago? I don't care too much. Anyway, poor students like us have no chance of that competition. Huh? She Didn’t sign up? Who knows if it’s a strategy. I remember that several powerful guys like to sign up at the card point-it is said that this can 'control the random number' and get a more favorable area in the first round."

"Is that so? Let me see... Ah, indeed. Some of the people who ranked slightly higher didn't sign up..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Ah, nothing."

……

The ordinary-looking boy turned the corner and hid in the corner of the teaching building.He took off the student jacket he "borrowed" from the lost and found office, revealing the short sleeves of the janitor underneath.

When performing this action, the boy's face melted like a gummy under the hot sun.In the end, it changed back to Zheng Zhuo's appearance.

"……call."

Zheng Zhuo, who was himself again, wiped the sweat from his forehead.He tossed the uniform back into the lost and found box on this floor and turned on his watch.

Lots of photos to show.Inside, is the important information he took.

"Teachers and supporters who believe in Taotao...opponents who gloat...other students who haven't signed up yet..."

According to everyone, Tao Tao is a very pure mind, the head of the academy who devotes himself wholeheartedly to study and practice.

In other words, there is no social experience.

With the skill of [Transformation], Zheng Zhuo is confident that he can use the name of her acquaintance to make inflammatory speeches and give her a push.

Or, his identity as [School Worker] is also very useful.It is always easy for students to trust the school staff.

...Why does it sound so criminal?

"No no, I'm doing something good!"

Zheng Zhuo said to himself.

"Don't think about those weird things. Let's think about which method to use to persuade Tao Tao."
