Chapter 145 Grouping
"Zhang Siyu, the first group."

"Shen Tianyue, the second group."

"Wang Mengqi, the fourth group."

……

At this time, the host kept calling the names of the contestants, and called out their group numbers.

At this time, everyone was very nervous, and everyone was afraid that they would be assigned to a strong group, so that their chances of qualifying would be too small.

Many top schools often communicate with each other, so they all know each other's strength, so they are all observing the grouping situation.

After shouting out some contestants, everyone seems to have discovered the pattern. The conference first evaluates the schools invited for this competition, and divides them into four groups according to their strength, so as to avoid that one group will be full of strong schools. .

This can ensure that capable people can qualify, and the top-ranked schools have reserved most of the places, but there is also a problem, that is, the chances of weaker players qualifying are very small.

"Only 40 out of 10 people can qualify. If you still divide into groups like this, doesn't it mean that there is no element of luck at all?"

"That's right, this doesn't give the schools in the back a chance at all!"

"Really, why do you ask us to come here? Is it just to be a foil?"

"Hey, there is no way, who made us weak, so let's just finish it sooner than later."

"It's no wonder they, they are selecting the strongest students, and they definitely hope that the strong ones will stay, so that they can be selected."

"Yes, we are here to gain experience."

……

With such a grouping, the lower-ranked schools are naturally a little uncomfortable. They thought they would draw lots to decide the grouping, but they didn't expect it to be decided by others. In this way, there is no element of luck at all. Naturally, there is almost no hope of qualifying!

"Heh, this grouping basically guarantees our qualifying places."

"Yeah, but it's boring. There are only a few people like this."

"Well, we are no different than anyone else. We will be the first in the group anyway. As for the other spots, let them fight for it."

"Haha, it's a good thing we're not in the same group, otherwise the others would be miserable."

"Tch, it's all the same, it's all the same, anyway, I win in the end!"

……

For such a group, the top-ranked schools naturally like to see them. If it is a lottery, they are afraid that all the outstanding people will be divided into one group, which will easily cause difficulties in qualifying. Of course, the top-ranked schools will not They care about this, they have the confidence to beat everyone, so it doesn't matter who they play with, it doesn't matter much to them.

……

"This grouping is really bullying!"

"Yeah, don't give the school behind a chance at all!"

"Yeah, it's not fair at all!"

"That's it!"

……

At this time, Zhou Dan and the others seemed very dissatisfied with such a grouping. In previous years, they performed one by one. When there were many people, they were also drawn by lottery. How could there be a direct grouping!Moreover, the strong ones are evenly divided, so that the weak ones have no chance at all?

"I think this is pretty good!" Seeing that Zhou Dan and others were dissatisfied with the grouping, Fang Qinyin said.

"Oh? How is this all right?" Zhou Dan and the others asked suspiciously.

"Although they are divided into four groups on average according to the school rankings, it seems that the latter do not have an advantage, but if you want to stand out, you have to PK with them. 40 people qualify for 10. It seems cruel, but it avoids a lot of meaningless things. The competition is more able to select excellent contestants. Everyone wants to rely on luck to get a qualifying place, but after qualifying, they will lose, it's all the same! Moreover, the dark horses are easy to qualify in the current grouping, just need to beat Everyone thinks that the top ten is fine, if the dark horse is grouped with a lot of powerful players, wouldn't it be easier to be eliminated?" Fang Qinyin analyzed.

While Fang Qinyin was speaking, everyone looked at her. After she finished speaking, everyone felt that what she said made sense, and she naturally exuded a kind of confidence. That kind of confidence seemed to tell everyone that she was the so-called That dark horse!

"Fang Qinyin, the first group!"

……

While everyone was discussing, the host finally called Fang Qinyin.

"Oh, I'm in the first group. There are several professional dancers in the first group, and Zhang Siyu is also here!" Fang Qinyin said happily.

Hearing Fang Qinyin mentioning Zhang Siyu, Liu Keqi turned his head, looked at her, then continued to look at the venue without saying anything.

"Liu Keqi, the second group!"

……

"Can you be in the second group?"

"No way? The second group is too strong, right?"

"Yeah, why are you assigned to the second group!"

"I remember that Shen Tianyue is also in the second group, right?"

……

Mentioning Shen Tianyue, Zhou Dan and the others looked unhappy. I remember the last competition, they accompanied their current senior sisters to participate in the competition, and they met Shen Tianyue. She was still a sophomore at that time, representing them The school participated in the competition, but at the time of the [-]th round, it met Shen Tianyue. The result was a terrible defeat, and the Medical University also stopped in the top [-]th. Of course, there were only about forty people participating in the last competition.

Zhou Dan and the others did not expect that after two years, Shen Tianyue was already a senior and would come to participate in the competition, and coincidentally, they were grouped together in the first round, which is too unfortunate!
"Phew, it's okay, it's okay, Keqi and I are not in the same group!" Fang Qinyin said with a sigh of relief when he heard that Liu Keqi had been assigned to the second group.

From everyone's point of view, her expression seemed to be very unwilling to be in a group with Liu Keqi, which made Zhou Dan and the others very puzzled.

"Are you so unwilling to be in a group with Keqi?" Zhou Dan asked.

"Yeah, I'd rather be in the same group as those professional dancers than in the same group as Keqi." Fang Qinyin replied.

"Why?"

"Because Keqi is too strong, not only dances well, but also has a strong aura. When competing with her, it is easy to be nervous and overwhelmed. On the contrary, it will be better when I meet other people. At least I can play well." If I can show my strength, even Zhang Siyu from our group, I'm not afraid!" Fang Qinyin said confidently.

When it comes to Zhang Siyu, everyone knows her more or less. She is a professional dancer. She is very low-key and doesn't like to show off, but her strength is recognized by everyone. I heard that she can represent the school in the last competition. For some reason, she didn't participate in the competition, saying that she voluntarily refused and had to wait for someone else to join her. Otherwise, it's uncertain who would get the first place!

It suddenly occurred to everyone that when entering the venue, Zhang Siyu seemed to come over to say hello to Liu Keqi. The two seemed to know each other, but they didn't know what the relationship was.

Even so, Fang Qinyin would rather face Zhang Siyu than face Liu Keqi. Is Liu Keqi really that good?Zhou Dan and the others became puzzled. In their impression, Liu Keqi was indeed a good dancer, but not so good that he could be compared with these people. Could it be that Liu Keqi was hiding his strength?
Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Liu Keqi. At this time, Liu Keqi still looked at the stage with no expression, as if the grouping just now had no effect on her.

……

"Okay, now the grouping is over. After ten minutes, everyone, come to the designated competition location according to your grouping. The first round of knockout competition will be held later. Please sit in the designated auditorium and wait, or go to Walking around outside the venue, you are not allowed to watch the first round!" After the 160 people were divided into groups, the host briefly explained the next arrangement and left.

"Huh? Is this about to start?"

"So nervous!"

"Why don't you let me see it!"

"Yeah, this is too exciting!"

"No, no, no, my heart is going to jump out!"

……

"Keqi, let's go, come on later!" Fang Qinyin waved her small fist and cheered. In fact, this cheer was more to cheer for herself. She knew that Liu Keqi would definitely qualify.

"En." Liu Keqi nodded, got up and prepared to go to his playing field.

"Based on your idea, there shouldn't be any tactics, right? You're going to be number one!" Sun Jiafei asked from the side. She knew that in this kind of competition, each group will qualify out of ten people, and the top few will be awarded by the universities. The school is staring at the dead, but the few people who qualify later will be missed. This is more advantageous because it can avoid being targeted by others. This is also a tactic. With Liu Keqi's strength, he can completely control the rankings. He could qualify, but Sun Jiafei knew that with Liu Keqi's character, he wouldn't do that kind of thing at all, as soon as he made a move, it was a lore!

"Well, no need." Liu Keqi replied domineeringly.

"It seems that they are going to be surprised!" Sun Jiafei said with a smile.

"Maybe!" Liu Keqi looked at the stage, then walked over.

Sun Jiafei looked at Liu Keqi's back and prayed for those schools that were near the front. It's best not to underestimate Liu Keqi, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

……

When Liu Keqi and Fang Qinyin came to the competition stage, they happened to meet Zhang Siyu.

"Liu Keqi, we didn't get into a group in the first round. It seems that our duel will have to wait until later." Zhang Siyu said with a smile when he saw Liu Keqi.

"En." Liu Keqi said lightly.

"Hey, my personality hasn't changed at all, why can't I be a little more enthusiastic." Zhang Siyu said.

"It's expected, you guys know each other!" Fang Qinyin asked.

"En." Liu Keqi still said flatly.

"Hello, my name is Fang Qinyin. I've heard of you before. You are amazing. I'm in a team with you." Fang Qinyin greeted politely.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Siyu. Liu Keqi's friends believe that she must be very strong. I don't know what school rankings are. It's useless. For example, Liu Keqi, she can definitely get into the top of everyone. Ten." Zhang Siyu said seriously.

"Well, I think so too." Fang Qinyin said in agreement.

"Hey, it's so lively, Zhang Siyu, we're not in the same group, it's a pity, it looks like I'm going to beat you later, my group, but I'm going to take the first place, don't fall behind."

"Shen Tianyue, don't be careless, you should be in the second group."

At this time, Shen Tianyue came over, she automatically ignored Liu Keqi and Fang Qinyin, and talked to Zhang Siyu.

"Well, yes, there is no one in the second group who can threaten me, so I won't be able to escape the first place." Shen Tianyue said confidently.

"Really? I don't think so. You'd better be serious, otherwise the first place will be taken away by someone." Zhang Siyu said with a smile.

"Oh? Really? Then I'll have to wait and see." Shen Tianyue didn't care what Zhang Siyu said, she thought it was Zhang Siyu's psychological tactics and wanted to put pressure on her, so after Shen Tianyue finished speaking, she turned and walked into No. [-] playing field.

Zhang Siyu looked at Shen Tianyue's back, then looked at Liu Keqi, and found that Liu Keqi hadn't looked at Shen Tianyue from the beginning to the end. Zhang Siyu sighed. This Shen Tianyue is indeed very powerful, but she is too proud. She was in a group with Liu Keqi, I hope she won't be slapped in the face by then!
