Job Change For Everyone: My Job Can Infinitely Evolve

Chapter 115: Danger Lurks Everywhere! Third Place Is Pretty Good Too!

??

The semi-finals’ first analysis meeting ended, and Team Moss bowed before exiting the conference room.

Moss noticed his teammates’ low morale. They looked like bruised bananas, unable to recover. He hastened his pace and hugged his teammates from behind, and smiled. “We’re in the top eight, guys! Why are you all frowning?! Let’s walk around the field and chat.”

Alan, Moore, and the others did not respond. They only walked toward the field in profound thought.

Moore could no longer remain silent when they reached the basketball court. He frowned and hurriedly asked, “Will it be better if we forfeited tomorrow’s match, Captain Moss? We will place third in the team Player Kill competition without injuries if we do. Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Moore is right, Moss. Then you can prepare for the individual Player Competition,” Kohler added to Moore’s words and looked at Moss with endless anticipation.

“Moore and Kohler have a point, Moss. We have to face the Super Whirlwinds even if we defeat the Crimson Fires tomorrow.”

“Considering the Super Whirlwinds performance today, we have no chance of winning. Also, there’s a high chance we’ll get severely injured. It won’t matter much if we get injured, but you still have to participate in the individual Player Kill competition.”

Baylon looked at Moss worriedly and said, “I-If you get injured, you…” However, he couldn’t finish his sentence.

Baylon’s teamwork with Moss had exponentially improved when he became a member of Team Moss. The more Baylon fought alongside Moss, the more he understood Moss’s strength and admired him.

However, Baylon still thought Moss couldn’t defeat Miller, even if he weren’t injured. It also meant Moss wouldn’t win the Future Star award. But as Moss’s teammate, Baylon could not say these things to Moss.

“Hey!”

Alan sighed and looked like he wanted to say something but stopped. He stared blankly at the crowd on the basketball court.

Moss smiled and changed the subject since everyone had stopped talking, “Why don’t we watch the basketball game since we’ve already prepared for the competition, and there’s nothing for us to do?”

Moss led his teammates to watch the basketball match after he spoke. The basketball match was between grade one’s third class and grade two’s eleventh class.

When Alan, Kohler, and the others noticed Moss had changed the subject, they quieted down and watched the basketball match absentmindedly. However, everyone immersed themselves in the match as it progressed.

Time passed quickly, and grade one lost the game with 146 points to 85.

“Sigh, what a pity. Grade one wouldn’t have lost so terribly if they had awakened their classes. They might have even won!”

“Yeah, grade one played pretty well! They didn’t lose momentum and even dared to fight back.”

Alan and the others finally understood why Moss told them to watch the basketball match. Then they turned to look at Moss.

“M-Moss?”

Alan wanted to say something but stopped. Moss noticed it and looked at his teammates with determination. Then he said smilingly, “The basketball match is the same as the annual school professional competition. It’s just a game.”

“There is always a winning and losing side in a game. Grade one could still score and pressure grade two no matter how weak they were. Look at grade two as the Super Whirlwinds. No matter how strong they are, they are not invincible.”

“The Super Whirlwinds will make a mistake no matter how diligent they are. We can defeat them if we find the right opportunity to attack,” Moss paused and looked at his teammates.

“Moss, you know I will always support you, no matter what you decide, right?” Alan’s heart surged when he heard Moss’s inspiring words.

Moss patted Alan’s shoulder and nodded in satisfaction. Then he continued, “I know you guys said those things for my benefit, but I insist on my words. We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to show our strength in the annual school professional competition. You should take it for me and yourselves.”

“I don’t want you all to regret participating in this competition. Fighting against strong teams is a rare learning opportunity, especially against a strong individual in the annual school professional competition.”

“Moss is right. There are no burdens on us, especially since we’re in third place. The pressure should be on Number Two High’s alliance!” Alan tightly clenched his fists as his eyes lit up.

Alan and Moss’s words moved the other three, and they shouted.

“No regrets!”

“We don’t fear strong enemies!”

“Let’s give it our all!”

“Let’s do it!”

Moss smiled when he saw his teammates’ reignited confidence and fighting spirit.

…

Meanwhile, Na’er held a stack of documents and stood respectfully in the director’s office beside Elroy to discuss something.

Na’er followed Elroy to his office when the semi-finals’ first analysis meeting ended. She worried that Moss would recklessly fight against the Crimson Fires, and if he got injured, he would lose the chance to claim the Future Star award.

Na’er glanced at Elroy and asked tentatively, “Do you think I should have a heart-to-heart with Moss again, and do some work with his team, Director Elroy?”

Elroy looked at the picture frame on his desk and got lost in thought. After a while, he said, “No need. We should let them decide for themselves since they’re not children anymore. There are some things they should face independently. We must believe in them!”

“The only thing we can do now is let them adjust their mentality for the competition while we do the logistical work and provide them with whatever they need.”
