The North Carolina team had risen early in the morning to prepare for the battle. Usually, they would choose a partner to practice with, but not this time. The current North Carolina squad was a complete force, comprised entirely of Hunter members, joined by Ye Tong. They were well-acquainted with Fan Luo, having bested him more than a few times in the past. Now, their confidence in defeating Fan Luo was at an all-time high.
For Morning Blue Dragon and North Carolina, the only teams in the entire S-league they didn't have the confidence to defeat were the Sea Dragon and the Beijing Mech Knights, respectively. Aside from these, they had absolute faith in their power against every other competitor, seeing themselves as the strongest contenders for the championship title.
North Carolina had been waiting for this day of glory for a very, very long time!
And so had Morning Blue Dragon, for an equally long time.
