Chapter 716 The Draw Result

After staying at the hotel for three days, the Bide Cup officially began. Styre University sent out two teams, led by Marshall for the EIE Team and Fergus for the Biology Team. Having two teams at once already made Styre University a strong contender among the nations.

The competition started, and the opponents for the first round were decided through a draw. Fergus’s team was the first to go up for the draw, and they ended up drawing the Isaranian Team.

The Isaranian Team wasn’t considered very strong, so winning against it in the first round wasn’t too difficult. The university leaders immediately sought Fergus’s opinion, asking about his team’s chance of winning. He gave a modest smile and gestured a number- sixty percent.

It was well known that Fergus was always cautious and liked to keep a card up his sleeve. When he said sixty percent, it probably meant at least eighty percent. Upon hearing this result, the university leaders felt reassured. If there was an eighty percent chance of winning, then there shouldn’t be a problem. Furthermore, this was the first round, the one with the lowest difficulty level.

The university leaders were quite happy about the result of the draw. They said to Marshall, “Marshall, it’s your turn now. Hopefully, you’ll be as lucky as Fergus.”

Marshall smiled and remained silent, looking very calm. However, his calm demeanor vanished instantly when he saw the result. No one knew what had happened to make Marshall, who was standing on the platform, suddenly freeze in place.

Although Marshall’s expression didn’t change much, his colleagues who had worked with him for over a decade knew him well. They knew that Marshall’s expression meant there was a problem. When the draw result was finally shown on the projection screen, everyone finally understood why Marshall was so shocked.

No one had expected that Marshall’s team would compete with the Johnville Team from Theisia, which had recently had a dispute with Styre University. The previous controversy had not yet subsided, and now they were confronting each other again. It seemed that enemies were destined to meet.
