476 The Secret of Rock-Paper-Scissors?

If the First Men's Military Academy followed through to win this third match, then first place would belong to the First Men's Military Academy; however... if they suffered a setback instead, the morale of the First Men's Military Academy would be affected. The result was hard to determine.

In the First Men's Military Academy's audience area, Qi Long and the others were waiting for the third match to begin. Seeing how everyone was growing somewhat bored, Lin Zhong-qing took out a bag of goodies from his backpack and handed it to Xie Yi who was sitting beside him.

Xie Yi opened the bag and saw that it contained sunflower seeds to help pass the time; these were great for keeping one occupied during these dull moments. Very quickly, the members of the Lingtian Battle Clan divided a large portion of those seeds amongst each other. Lin Zhong-qing also didn't forget the other teams and handed out another three to four bags.

While everyone was munching on sunflower seeds, they began to discuss who would be the next one from their academy to come out onto the arena.

"Boss said it before, they determine the order by rock-paper-scissors. Since luck is the main factor, you really can't predict the outcome," Luo Lang said amongst all the discussion.

Li Lanfeng's hands, which were peeling sunflower seeds, slightly shuddered—is it really just luck? He wondered, his mouth revealing a small smirk. If Rabbit did something, it couldn't be so simple, right?

Sitting beside Li Lanfeng, Han Jijyun noticed the former's odd behavior. He quickly shot a glance towards Li Lanfeng, knowing fully well that Li Lanfeng had also realized the secret behind the ordering after having watched many matches. Other than the fixed sequence in the beginning, the ordering through pure luck using rock-paper-scissors still followed a certain pattern.

Zhao Jun was obviously on the brink of advancement, so the continuous fighting was benefiting him and thus, Zhao Jun always came out in the third match. This was the work of both Qiao Ting and their boss.

Han Yu was not very capable; therefore, they cut down his appearance in the matches. Mu Shaoyu's strength wasn't bad, so he would have more of a chance to be in the first three matches than Han Yu. The three that had gone a long way since the beginning of the finals, Zhao Jun, Ling Lan and Qiao Ting were the three strongest individuals from the First Men's Military Academy. Their chances to come out and do battle were the highest. It was obvious that the order decided by the rock-paper-scissors arrangement was, in reality, not really determined by luck.

Han Jijyun was very impressed with Li Lanfeng right now. He had known since he was very young that his Boss Lan would not do something so immature—there had to be a hidden meaning to all this—so when the Boss had said they would decide using rock-paper-scissors, he had thought long about this decision, as to why he would be use this method.

Every time they finished determining the order, he had always carefully examined it and now he was finally able to understand something. He hadn't thought that someone like Li Lanfeng, who joined them afterwards, also knew so much about the Boss... He really was looking out for the Boss if he could come to such a conclusion as well.

Han Jijyun would not exclude anyone who looked out for the Boss. A thought flashed in Han Jijyun's mind, and he said, "Senior Li Lanfeng definitely knows who will be the next person on the lineup."

Han Jijyun's words made everyone quickly direct their eyes towards Li Lanfeng. Li Lanfeng turned his head towards Han Jijyun, his hands shaking. Han Jijyun's eyes were bright as day, his pupils dilated, almost separating them from his sockets. This wasn't the expression of a prankster, but one of sincerity...
