With his appraisal, Ray had checked each and every person who has been specified by Schwarz.
Some of them had a secret identity like members of the cult, the last surviving member of an extinct clan, or some heir to the rich companies.
However, from what Ray has seen until now, only that three people would possess some harm to his girl. Other than the three people, the other team's abilities should be lower than his girls, but Ray would still ask them to be careful as sometimes collective strength could defeat individual strength.
Soon the opening speeches from Ms. Eliza ended accompanied by the loud cheers of the spectator, and the KPYDC committee proceeded to explain a bit about the competition rules.
"The qualifying phase of the tournament has a different format from the Qualifier phase. The combat format of the qualifier phase is what you are all most familiar with a direct three-on-three battle. Now, It is a four groups round-robin competition where the three teams with the most victories will proceed to the promotional phase. The format of the promotional phase of the tournament is special. The competing teams are still limited to three members, but the battles are now one-on-one singles with the victorious team member staying on the field to face successive members of the opposing team until the members on one side have all lost."
The system of this competition was not that unfamiliar to Ray, and he has seen a lot of novels in his previous world that also used this kind of formatting.
Still, this also creates a new problem for them. Because of the grouping format, the distribution of the group played a really important part in this competition, and there would surely be some teams that benefited from the grouping.
All of the participants who heard the explanation of the committee nodded and tried to note down the rules carefully to make sure that they would not be disadvantaged.
However, when the final rules were finally announced, and most of the participants were still silently discerning the rule, a voice full of righteousness came from one of the participants.
" Wait a minute. I have a question here. From the rules that we have heard, the weaker group teams could get so much advantage on this. So how would the committees make sure that the grouping was fair?" One of the participants said with a straight face to the committees.
If this was still the world before awakening, this kind of people would surely be appreciated as they seem to have a better understanding of the rules. Still, now, questions like this would only face some mockery from the committees.
The world has changed, and now the strong rules against the weak. The fairness of the competition was no more, and only a strong one would survive.
The committees didn't even bother to answer a question like this, and just with a sneer and sheer pleasure, the participants were silenced.
" Well then, since there are no more stupid questions like that anymore, let's begin the group adjustment."
A big lottery immediately appeared in the middle of the arena, and Ray could see the names of each team in the brackets.
in the end, the grouping could be simplified as follows.
Group A:
The girl's team, Ethan's team, Emi's ex-fiancee team, other cannon fodder.
Group B:
Elsa's team, Capital city team, other cannon fodder.
Group C:
The black robe team, other cannon fodder.
Group D:
All cannon fodder.
.
Looking at this, Ray couldn't help but think that the luck of his girls was really bad. Among all the four groups, they must face Ethan and Emi Ex-fiancee in their group.
Even though Ray was confident that his girls could sweep them through the floor, but this still didn't make it less annoying to Ray. Look at group D, all of them are cannon fodder, and Ray could only think that those guys' luck was very good.
By now, the excitement in the spectator couldn't be held back anymore. They cheered at the team they supported and couldn't wait anymore for the competition to truly begun.
But just when Ray thought he could lean back and enjoy the competition alongside the beauties next to him, a knock resounded on the door, and a VVIP looking figure came into Ray's VIP area.
" Ms. Kyouko, it's been a long time, isn't it?" The VVIP looking figure said with a slight smile, but his sight had never leave Kyouko.
" Oh, isn't it Mr. Capital city governor? What affairs do you have with this Kyouko?" Kyouko replied while still maintaining the same smile on her face.
To deal with a political matter like this, they must never show their emotion, and only by faking a smile would they get the best result.
" Hahaha, don't be so tense Ms. Kyouko. My intention here was not for some political matters. I only represent the other spectators of the battles this time to ask, among the teams joining the KPYDC competition today, which one do you support? As one of the giants in the economy, don't tell me that Ms. Kyouko comes here just to have fun. "
" Hmm, of course, I have a team that I support. But if I could ask, how could this thing concern the interest of Mr. Capital city governor?"
Ray could feel the heavy smell of gunpowder in the air. But in this, he chose to stay silent. Kyouko was far more experienced in handling matters like this, and him joining the conversation could make the balance tilted toward the other side.
Of course hearing Kyouko's word, the Capital city governor didn't refute and only choose to laugh.
" Hahahahaha, well, actually it is about this. SInce Ms. Kyouko also have a team to support, how about we have a simple bet between us?"
