Chapter 31 You are the hope I planted in the barren land

Seeing that he was panicking, Helia asked the others to leave first and planned to talk to Kalzer alone. Without opening up Kalzer's heart, based on the character he had shown so far, he would definitely not dare to accept this task.

But as a member of the team, everyone must have the awareness of becoming the main force of the team before joining, leading the team to victory, and standing up to make up the gap when the team is weak. This person can be Helia, Britney, or anyone else, including Karzer.

Helia never felt that her team was inferior to others. On the contrary, she felt that the team's configuration was perfect! Lydia and she were the main output, a magic swordsman and a magician. Drummond had a lot of magic and could flexibly play his advantages in the auxiliary position. Britney was the most reliable in the team and was just right for the defense position. The backup position that Helia had been worried about was not a big problem after her inspection. Karlze was a very good nurse, much better than she thought.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with their team. They are very versatile and have no weaknesses. The final survival match is definitely their home court. No matter what kind of competition environment they are sent to, she believes that her team will be fine.

They just lacked a little cooperation, a little experience, and a little confidence.

Perhaps it was because Helia's attitude at the beginning was too casual, and the team name she came up with was too speechless. At first, everyone in the team thought that they were just here to compete and had no fighting spirit. They all had the mentality that the most important thing was to participate. But from the moment Helia stepped onto the field, she never thought about losing.

Before forming a team, Helia really wanted to muddle through, but as her teammates joined, Helia suddenly realized that her team was super good, far beyond her imagination. With such good teammates, why shouldn't she fight for it? She didn't have teammates before, so she didn't think she could win, but now she has a group of reliable partners, and she feels that if she loses, she will be a little sorry for their trust in her.

"Karlzer, did you know that there is a separate item of individual performance in the team competition scoring?" Helia asked.

Kalzer nodded. The rules of the competition had changed this year, and he had taken a closer look. Of course, he also remembered that there was one more item, personal performance, in the scoring list, but he had no intention of getting a high score in this item.

To put it bluntly, a healing magician is just a backup who can only heal people, hiding behind teammates to provide support and assistance. He has no means of attack and is very fragile. If he is caught, he will be killed instantly. Occasionally, he will be regarded as a breakthrough point and a burden for the team.

In every competition, everyone's attention is usually on the damage position, such as Helia and Lydia. This kind of visually impactful battle will leave a deep impression on everyone, so the role of the nurse has always been ignored by everyone. That is, after a teammate is injured, someone will praise him or her: Wow! That's great! The teammate is healing!

Then the attention is turned back to the teammates who have revived with full health and continue to output.

Therefore, in so many team competitions, there is not a single healing magician among the famous students. Even if they are valued, it is only their teammates who realize how important the nanny is. It is the big daddy who can save your life at a critical moment! But the audience cannot appreciate this importance and irreplaceability.

Helia had her own ideas about her team. Although she knew that there was a score for individual performance and Mobicius had advised her to pay more attention to this score, she still wanted to get points through teamwork. But that didn't mean she didn't value individual performance points. On the contrary, she paid special attention to it, not only her own performance points, but also those of her teammates.

From the beginning, her team composition was determined by who needed to stand out and act high-profile, and who needed to keep a low profile. Lydia and Britney had to hide because of their special identities; and Drummond, as a first-level magician, was enough to attract attention; and Helia, with her white hair and the rumored identity of being a descendant of the elves, would become the focus of everyone's attention as soon as she appeared on the stage.

Therefore, in the entire team, the one who needs the most opportunity to perform and get personal performance points is only Kalzer.

Helia not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully and win convincingly, so she not only wants the team to win, but also wants everyone in the team to win. The main point is: Come to my team, I promise not to let you suffer any loss!

"I think you know that healing magicians are not valued in every competition. Even if the judges can see your efforts behind the scenes, the score for personal performance will definitely not be high." Helia continued, "And in the positional competition and survival competition, all you can do is heal your teammates, and this will not make the judges look at you differently, because you are just doing your job, there is nothing special about you."

"Among the three competitions, only the scramble competition is where you can display your abilities other than healing magic. It is where you can temporarily get rid of your identity as a healing magician. It is where everyone can see you."

"Karlzer, I not only want others to see you, to see what a great member we have on our team, and what a great teammate I have, but I am even greedier, I also want to see the real you."

When Karzer heard this, Chuer looked up at Helia. He thought he would see a perfunctory, hypocritical, and coping expression, but Helia just had a serious and sincere look on her face, just like when she looked at him at the beginning, sincerely expressing the thought of "I need you".

"I, I might disappoint you, I will disappoint everyone..." Karzer lowered his head again in inferiority. Helia's enthusiasm at this moment was like the sun, bright and warm. He wanted to get closer, but he would be burned.

He was afraid that his pathetic and inferior shadow would be revealed under the sun, and that the selfish and bad thoughts in his heart would be exposed. He himself couldn't stand himself like this, so how could others accept it!

"You have to know that if there is no hope, there will be no disappointment." Helia did not deny his words of comforting and encouraging him. Instead, she continued with his words, "I have said before that I never had any hope of winning the competition from the beginning."

"It's a fact that our lineup is not suitable. Coupled with the problems left over from the last game, it can be said that not only others don't think we can win the next game, but even we ourselves don't think it's a good idea." Helia laughed as she spoke. "In fact, in the next game, I've thought about surrendering as soon as we get on the court and get eliminated directly. This will save some energy for the next game."

"Well...well, we won the first game...when everyone was not optimistic about us..." Although Karzer was not optimistic about himself, he was optimistic about his teammates! He still subconsciously felt that Helia could lead them to victory.

"In fact, we were able to win the last game mostly due to luck. We were not randomly assigned to a particularly strong team, and the rules of this tournament were changed. I took advantage of the other teams and used some tricks, so we were able to win." Helia shrugged. She was not so satisfied with the last game. Her initial idea was to grab more flags to earn points, but in the end, the points for grabbing flags were not as good as the points for head count. She did not get the advantage she had hoped for in this regard, otherwise she would have been able to pull more points from the second place.

"Go out and ask around, how many people would recognize the value of our championship? Everyone thinks we are just being clever and don't have much real ability at all."

"So in the next game, I will use my fists to shut them all up."

Karzer felt that Helia was a little scary now. He felt that she was like a murderer. The students from other teams were all her targets, and she couldn't wait to start with these little lambs.

"Captain, you just said you didn't have any hope of winning..." Helia's words were inconsistent, and Karzer had no idea what she was trying to do.

"Does winning the game conflict with me conquering them with my fists? There is no conflict! You run in front and I beat them up from behind, there is nothing wrong with that!" Helia gave herself a thumbs up at the end.

"I still don't understand why you are so persistent in letting me go, Captain." Although Helia had explained the reasons clearly before, he still felt that it was not enough. These reasons were completely unable to convince his inferiority complex and sensitive heart.

"Kalzer, we are now planting a seed on a barren land. No one is optimistic about that seed, even we who planted it are not optimistic about it. This seed is a small hope that we have buried on the hopeless land." Helia said seriously.

"If this seed sprouts and grows, that would be great. Not only would it bring us more and more hope, but it would also give others a slap in the face."

"But of course, if it died in a hopeless land, that would be acceptable to everyone. After all, it was a barren land and no one was optimistic about it, so it was normal for it to die."

"You are that seed now. I am not sure if you can sprout, but I can't just imagine hope growing out of that land without doing anything. So I tried. I tried to plant this little seed of yours."

"I hold onto some illusory hopes, standing on this hopeless land, shielding you from the wind and sand that attempt to strangle you in the womb, carefully watering and fertilizing you, hoping that one day you will break through this hopeless land and let people see you."

Karl Ze stared at Helia intently, listening to the story she told him, and he inexplicably felt like he was in his mother's arms listening to her bedtime story. It was a kind of tenderness that was out of reach, a warmth that could never be touched again, but now, he seemed to see this warm yellow memory appear before his eyes.

"Karlze, from the moment I planted this seed of yours, you've already won, do you understand?"

Kalzer gave him a puzzled look in return.

“Whether you sprout or not, whether you are alive or dead, people have seen you, right? If you die, people may say, ah, you failed! But people will always remember that you are the first seed planted on that barren land!”

"If you live and grow luxuriantly, no one will forget you. Whenever they step on this barren land, they will see you and will sigh: You are indeed special."

"Whether you succeed or fail, you are the hope I planted. If you fail, you are no longer my teammate and my good friend? If we lose this game, do we really have no chance of turning the tables? If you didn't win this game for our team, does that mean you didn't give anything for us?"

Helia pointed to her eyes and said, "I saw everything you did. The judges may not have seen it, but I definitely saw it, and Britney Dramon and Lydia definitely saw it too."

"When I first met Lydia, she was very wary of everyone else. She would attack if anyone got close to her. She only trusted me. But now, she will leave her back to you and us. She trusts you! Why does she trust you? Because she has seen all the efforts you have made behind the scenes, and she has remembered it in her heart."

“She even says thank you!”

"You are the first seed I planted. Even if I plant countless more seeds later, and regardless of whether these seeds finally break through the soil and grow into towering trees, your position in my heart will not change. I will always remember you, my first little seed. This feeling is special and will never be forgotten."

Karl felt his eyes were sore, as if something was stuck in his throat, and his chest was stuffy. He felt that he had a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say. There were many little people in his heart who were making noises, but after hearing what Helia said, they all quieted down and looked at him, waiting for him to say the answer that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
