“I thought you had something to rely on to come here alone, but it turns out that the people in the Egyptian National Team are a bunch of brainless idiots.”

Bai Dongwei said coldly.

“You can’t even beat Lu Yilin, yet you want to steal the emblem of the National Pavilion?”

“You didn’t even take a good look at the winning rate of the Chinese Pavilion before you entered the door.”

Lu Yilin has something to say.

[What do you mean you can’t even beat me? Am I weak? ]

Of course, Lu Yilin didn’t dare to say a word about his complaints. He just cooperated with Bai Dongwei to mock the Egyptian students who were looking resentful in the distance.
“You don’t have any skills yet and you want to challenge the big country?”

“A small place is a small place. If you eat too much sand in the desert, you will become a fool, right?”

“Yeah, I thought who this guy was, coming in to challenge the club, but this is what happened?”

“…”

The other members of the National Government team also cooperated with each other and showed sarcastic expressions. Although this kind of sarcastic behavior was not in line with the magnanimity of a great country, since it was Sayid who took the lead in attacking, they could not be expected to observe etiquette.

The ridicule from the crowd made Sayyid’s dark face turn a little red. Originally, he thought that his strength was enough to sweep the Chinese team, but he never expected that the opponent actually had a high-level mage. This was a dimensionality reduction attack for him, a mid-level mage.

The scene of him riding on the face and attacking did not happen. Instead, he was treated like a monkey by the other party. Coupled with the mocking voice ringing in his ears like stereo sound, Sayid immediately became angry and said:

“Don’t get too complacent. I’m not the strongest in our team. When my teammates come over, I’ll make sure you guys are in trouble!”

As he spoke, Sayid stood up and walked out.

Having said that, if Sayid had a choice, he would never let his teammates come over. Once what happened today was known to others, Shreve, who was at odds with him in the team, would definitely ridicule him openly or secretly.

But compared to the ridicule from his rivals, the badge of the national team is the most important thing. Sayyid had no choice but to go back for help.

Before Sayid left, he bumped into Li Yu and Ding Yumian who were returning. Perhaps to vent his resentment, he glared at the two of them fiercely, then turned around and walked out. However, compared to the arrogance when he came, he now felt a little ashamed.

“Teacher Bai, who won the fight?”

Just by looking at the expressions on both sides’ faces, Ding Yumian knew the winner without even asking, and directly asked Bai Dongwei who came over for the details of the battle.

“Oh, it’s Lu Yilin.”

Bai Dongwei replied indifferently,
“That Egyptian kid named Sayid is average in strength. He’s not even a high-level mage. Although his undead summons are somewhat powerful, they’re just so-so.”

“Undead?”

Ding Yumian’s eyes lit up slightly. She also had the Undead Attribute and was very interested in Egypt, a country famous for its Undead Attribute.

Noticing Ding Yumian’s expression, Bai Dongwei remembered that Ding Yumian was a necromancer and asked:
“That guy said something harsh before he left. I guess he’s going to bring his teammates with him. How about you do it next time? I guess Lu Yilin alone isn’t enough.”

Although Bai Dongwei looked down on Sayyid’s strength, he was not arrogant enough to think that Lu Yilin could defeat the Egyptian team, which was known to be a tough opponent.

“It’s still the same as before. You stay at the back and the others will go ahead.”

Ding Yumian had no objection and nodded.

After ending Sayid’s little episode, Bai Dongwei finally turned his attention to Li Yu, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two of them beside Ding Yumian. Behind Bai Dongwei, the other members of the National Pavilion team had already cast curious glances at the only stranger in the audience.

Then, he was shocked to see Bai Dongwei, who usually looked at everyone with a look of disappointment, smiling the same way he did when facing Ding Yumian, and enthusiastically pulled the other person in front of everyone and introduced him;

“This is Li Yu, the student who was specially assigned by the National Team’s instructor to exchange experience with our National Team. Welcome everyone!”

Welcome? How?

We are all chosen by heaven, but that is just the case here. If we were in other places, we would be welcomed by others, but we have never learned how to welcome others.

Everyone looked at each other, and only a few with a little more active brains started clapping, loudly saying words like “Welcome, welcome”, and then the others followed suit and started clapping.

Faced with this slightly embarrassing scene, the corners of Li Yu’s mouth twitched slightly. Ding Yumian clapped his hands like everyone else and smiled, but Bai Dongwei was the only one who looked very satisfied.

Of course, this scene did not last too long. Bai Dongwei quickly pressed his hands down, the applause stopped, and he went straight to the point, returning to his original seriousness and stern tone.
“Student Li Yu will stay at the National Pavilion for a week to exchange cultivation experiences with you. I don’t need to tell you what to do.”

“Grab the opportunity when it comes. If you want to join the government, work hard on your own. Don’t expect others to push you from behind!”

“do you understand?”

“understand!”

…In a hotel room in the Magic City.

“What? You lost?”

The Egyptian national team looked at Said in surprise. His face was as dark as it could be. Said lowered his head, which was usually very proud, and said unwillingly,
“The other party had a high-level mage, and I was caught off guard and fell into their trap, so…”

“Stop making excuses for yourself, Sayid.”

Sayid was interrupted by Shreve with disdain just as he was about to finish his words. Shreve said sarcastically:
“You are just a mid-level mage, are you worthy of being plotted against by a high-level mage? You just can’t beat them, why are you finding so many excuses?”

As if he was broken by Shreve’s words, Sayid stopped trying to make amends and retorted:

“If I can’t beat you, can you beat me?”

Shreve’s face darkened.
“you!”

“enough!”

Just when the two were about to have a big fight, an angry girl’s voice sounded in the room. The two people who heard the voice immediately fell silent. The person who spoke was none other than their deputy captain Mios.

Although he is only the deputy captain, Mios, who comes from a royal family, has no less say in the team than the captain Sind. In addition, Captain Sind is obsessed with magic research and does not like to be in charge of things. The team affairs are basically arranged by Mios, who has a bad temper, so the two team members naturally dare not provoke him.

Mios ignored the fight between the two men and squinted his cat eyes at Sayid.

“How strong is the high-level mage of the National Pavilion team?”

Upon hearing this, Sayid showed disdain.

“Generally speaking, if I hadn’t broken through to the higher level, he wouldn’t be…”

“Then go and break through to a higher level, and don’t embarrass us Egypt here.”

Sayid’s words of unwillingness to admit defeat were blocked by Mios. He did not dare to refute and had to shut his mouth in dismay, and honestly engaged in a question-and-answer session with Mios.
“Who is that person from the National Pavilion?”

“His name is Lu Yilin, and he should be the strongest among the group.”

Sayid recalled how Lu Yilin looked like a leader when he first saw him in front of the crowd. This gave Sayid some psychological comfort. At least he only lost to the opponent’s strongest man.

“In that case, let’s go again tomorrow.”

Mios made up his mind that Sayid would lose only because he was useless, but he would not lose.

As for the somewhat embarrassing act of repeatedly challenging the national pavilion, Mios and all the members of the Egyptian team did not care, and no one said that they could not do it a second time.

It’s okay if you don’t say it.

However, the one who objected this time was the captain of the Egyptian team, Sind.
“Our first priority this time is to complete the ancient capital training. We can make up for this failure after completing the training.”

Naturally, other people had to give face to the captain, and even Mios only thought about it and stopped objecting. The National Pavilion Team would not run away, so they could get their place back at any time.

Soon the topic turned back to the training in the ancient capital, and one of the Egyptian players smiled nonchalantly:

“I heard that the ancient capital’s tomb is an empire of the dead like our Egypt. I don’t know if it can compare to our pyramids.”

“You think too highly of them. Our necromancy is the strongest in the world. A bunch of laymen have no idea of ​​the power of the pyramids and the pharaohs, which is why they put the ancient city’s necromancy on par with our Egyptian necromancy.”

“Don’t say that. Didn’t they say a while ago that the Black Church mobilized the undead to attack the ancient capital and almost destroyed it?”

“That’s because the ancient capital is too weak!”

“Maybe we can even visit the mausoleums in the ancient capital this time.”

“Yeah, maybe we can find some useful undead resources.”

“…”

Captain Sind frowned at the frivolous words of the Egyptian players, but did not say much.

Although the ancient capital of the Undead Empire is famous, it is only as famous as the pyramids. They were selected into the national government because they have been to some small pyramids for training, so they should not fail. Therefore, Sayyid did not discourage the enthusiasm of the team members.

So much so that a week later, when the Egyptian team was surrounded by a squad of undead cavalry in black helmets and armor, Sind couldn’t help but kill his original self.
