Chapter 227: Countercurrent
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
According to this year’s competition system, if the representative team of Seon-u’s country participated in the team competition, there would be one less team. This way, the chances of winning were indeed much lower.
“Do you mean to let your team members bully you?” Guo Miao said. She looked down on people like Seon-u who did not have a basic concept of good and evil.
She had once passed away because of bullying, and she did not want to see her friends get hurt because of the same thing.
“Stop pretending to be a saint. You could have exposed them after the match,” Seon-u said. “But why did you choose to withdraw them at this time? It’s unfair to our team.”
Enya looked at Seon-u, her eyes gradually turning cold.
Seon-u was their captain and had always protected her.
The two of them had been bullying her, and Seon-u would step out to stop them sometimes. Although it might not be useful, it still gave her warmth. She thought that Seon-u would stand by her side no matter what.
However, it was obvious that the most important thing for Seon-u was whether they could win the competition or not.
“I thought you were willing to help me, but it was only because you didn’t have enough strength,” Enya said with a bitter smile.
She tilted her head and looked at Seon-u. “I thought you were a very good captain. However, now that I think about it, you clearly knew that there were problems with the two of them but still chose them during the selection. Perhaps the most important thing for you was to get a good ranking.”
Seon-u opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
This match was also very important to him. If he could win the team competition, he would be eligible to be a postgraduate student.
In a place like Country K, where social classes were solidified, he was born into a poor family. Studying hard was the only way out. If he could pass this competition and obtain the qualification to be a graduate, the burden on his parents would be much lighter.
“I don’t blame you.” Seon-u sighed. He turned to Guo Miao and sneered, “As for you, you did this to get rid of us, right?”
The previous competition was basically a competition between Country K and Country B.
If Country K lost two players, China’s chances of winning would greatly increase.
Seon-u stared at Guo Miao, trying to see a trace of panic on her face.
However, Guo Miao’s face was still as calm and indifferent as ever. She disdained using such methods to eliminate her competitors.
In terms of mathematics, even if all of them were added together, they could not compare to her alone.
She had done this for her friend.
Seeing that Guo Miao was silent, Seon-u said, “I know you won’t admit it. I don’t believe that you’ll fight for so-called justice.”
This sentence awakened some of Guo Miao’s memories.
In her previous life, she had met Seon-u.
At that time, Seon-u was an exchange student at Haicheng High School affiliated with the People’s University of China.
When she was bullied by everyone, no one was willing to stand with her.
Anyone who helped her would be warned by Guo Lin.
At that time, the Guo family was very popular in Haicheng, and no one was willing to go against Guo Lin.
When Guo Miao was forced to go to the rooftop by the delinquent girl with Guo Lin, Seon-u had also been there.
She still remembered that time when she and Seon-u had asked for help.
Seon-u had brushed her hand away and said coldly in awkward Chinese, “I won’t do anything for the sake of so-called justice.”
The cold wind outside the auditorium blew Guo Miao’s hair. She broke free from her memories and looked at Seon-u, who was standing in front of her.
“I’m not doing this for justice. I’m doing this for my friend,” Guo Miao said.
Seon-u sneered. Friends? They were all competitors in the same arena. How could they be friends?
“I won’t believe you. After the competition is over, 1’11 report your actions. But 1 won’t do it now.” Seon-u raised his chin. “I won’t use this method to get rid of my opponent.”
Guo Miao sighed.
Perhaps Seon-u would never understand her situation at that time.
Seon-u left after she finished speaking.
Guo Miao felt a headache coming on. She had Enya return to the venue first while she stood outside alone in the cold wind.
The pain spread again.
The memories of her previous life haunted her like ghosts, making it difficult for her to breathe..
