In the morning, Mr. Meng sends a message to Zhan Shuo, asking him to come to the school's conference room so that they can discuss the upcoming "four-school league." The league will be held in two weeks and will feature students from all four of the schools in the district. The prodigy is amazed that he has not prepared his support banners for the competition. He wonders if he would kneel down and beg for mercy in the first round if he were competing against other students from other schools.
