Chapter 192 The Preparation Camp.
Knock Knock!
Five minutes later, inside a comfortable lounge at the other side of the stadium, a knocking sound resounded in the silent lounge.
"Come in!" Mr. Jones, who was sitting in a leather armchair, looked at the door that was being opened.
'He is here.' Delighted, his eyes shone as he saw Felix near the door thanking the man in black for guiding him.
After Felix closed the door, he turned around and saw that his teammates were gathered in one area away from three other individuals.
'As expected, those losers are coming as well.' He gazed at those individuals indifferently.
Unsurprisingly, Oliver Walton, Amelia Lauder, and finally Lena Vanderbilt were also in the room!
Felix knew beforehand that the national team wasn't going to have only the winners of the tournament, but also captains of each semi-finalist team! Though, it seemed like Amelia managed to get a spot as well.
It was only natural, as the entire existence of the national battles was to create the strongest team in the USA.
However, each country could only have a team made of ten bloodliners. This meant, it was extremely difficult for the government to create a team, which was packed with only the best bloodliners in the country. To do so, they needed more time and resources.
Unfortunately, they lacked both in the present time. The World representative battle was about to start in two months exactly. In other words, the tournament had to be wrapped up as fast as possible but still giving them good candidates.
Felix, Johnson, Noah, Kenny, and even Olivia, gave a performance noteworthy to be in the national team.
However, Sarah and the rest of the team didn't really do much even when the opportunity was given to them.
When compared with Adam, who had an epic bloodline and destroyed two battles alone, or Walton, who was the only bloodliner in the tournament with aviation ability, of course, Sarah and the four commoners would appear lacking.
Regardless, the government couldn't just replace them with those better than them when they were the champions of the tournament. That was just a plain stupid decision that would offend a lot of people.
That being said, adding those four captains as 'substitutions' for the team would make no one upset, except for Sarah and the rest, who were definitely going to be replaced if they performed subpar in the upcoming preparation camp.
Felix knew all of this, even though he never actually made it to the national team in his previous life.
That's because he watched on TV, the national team having the four added commoners in the Hilton team get replaced by those captains!
It created quite an outrage in the country, which Felix somewhat remembered.
The only thing that changed in this time-line was the champion team and the members, who were at risk of getting replaced. Nothing more, nothing less.
Based on Sarah and those four commoners' frustrated expressions, they also figured out as much after getting informed by Mr. Jones about the addition of those four captains.
"I hope I am not interrupting anything." Felix gave a polite nod to Mr. Jones while walking towards his teammates.
"We were actually just waiting for you so we can start." Mr. Jones said smiling.
"I apologize if I kept you waiting." Well mannered, Felix nodded his head slightly.
"Don't mention it." Mr. Jones pointed with his hand at the three captains and said, "As I told your teammates before. Those captains are going to join the team as substitutes. After all, we can't risk sending 9 or 8 to represent us if something happens to the main team during those two months." He asked, "Do you any opinion about this?"
