Chapter 94: Reason (1/2)
Room B-022.
Sihan frowned upon the sudden change of choice while Ellen raised her eyebrows, opening her lazy eyes slightly wider.
”This…” Ellen gently stroked her cheek while making a weird expression. She simply didn't know what to say since Alea was the right choice for their fourth member. Yet, Phyrill actually chose Theo over Alea, she wondered whether Phyrill wanted them to lose or something.
But she couldn't brush Theo's potential off that easily either. Hence, she asked, ”Phyrill… Did you choose the wrong person?”
Sihan also glanced over, trying to find the answer.
”You said something good about him, but you seemed to have no intention of getting him. I wonder what is wrong with your head… Well, in fact, it seems you are only proud of your own experience instead of your head, eh?” Phyrill snorted.
Ellen squinted her eyes and asked with a serious expression. ”What do you mean?”
”You haven't seen all his tricks yet.” Phyrill shook his head helplessly, feeling slightly disappointed. ”Why did you finish the battle with him as quickly as possible? If you wanted to say something about his experience, you might as well show it to him first.”
”…” Ellen narrowed her eyes and replied, ”The only way to prevent any surprising trick from killing me, I needed to defeat him as soon as possible.”
”Exactly. I'm afraid this guy's tricks are much higher level. After all, he could reveal his power to turn around the situation in the match before us, yet, he chose to hide it until the previous fight. Why? Because he planned to win the next match. Everything was just a build-up for him.” Phyrill shook his head.
Ellen closed her eyes for a few seconds before staring at the door.
Knock.
Knock.
”Come in,” Phyrill shouted, ignoring them.
Theo then pushed open the door and showed himself. He didn't go to them immediately as he still couldn't understand why they would pick him.
”Since you have come here, I will just ask you this question to explain why I chose you.” Phyrill smirked. ”You are going to use this match to scare your opponents to be more conscious about you, right? Before our match, it was like two versus three. But if you managed to beat us, you would make your presence known, meaning the hidden member suddenly showed his appearance and became an even bigger presence due to the flashy entrance.”
Theo widened his eyes, never expecting someone to figure his plan out.
This reaction alone was enough for Ellen and Sihan to understand Phyrill's choice.
”Why did I choose you? It's simple. I want you to be the brain of this group, creating the plan. What you lack right now is experience. We can provide it for you.” Phyrill then turned to Sihan and Ellen. ”How about you guys?”
”Ehm…” Before they answered, Theo raised his hand and asked, ”Are you sure that's the only reason?”
