Chapter 105: Assessment (1/2)
In the Principal Office, Eigen still couldn't let Radvils go because of the previous match-up. He never thought Eigen would discriminate against the students and put all the very talented students in one group regardless of what he said to him.
However, he could also understand why he did such a thing. He simply had a mixed feeling of his approach.
After contemplating for a while, Eigen decided to invite Radvils to his office to discuss his plan.
When Radvils entered his office, his eyes were glued to the screen on his Skylink.
”Radvils.”
”Wait a minute.” Radvils raised his hand while his eyes still remained on the screen. ”I need to focus on this match.”
”What match?” Eigen narrowed his eyes. It was the first time he saw Radvils so focused on a certain match, piquing his interest.
”Want to see it together, Principal?” Radvils shrugged and found a wall. He activated his Skylink as the device projected his screen on the wall, turning it into a giant one.
”This battle…” Eigen widened his eyes. He remembered Alea lost a few weeks ago but didn't get chosen, so he was wondering why Theo got picked instead of Alea. Yet, he couldn't see a single match after that, making him even more curious about this man called Theodore Griffith.
Since he finally rejoined the match, Eigen fell silent and watched the match carefully.
A few minutes later.
”This…” Eigen started sweating as he felt that the entire battlefield went according to a certain person's plan. It was an amazing manipulation at the school level from his perspective. Although he needed to do more to surpass the veterans all around the world, this person could still be considered a good fighter.
Hearing Eigen's surprise, Radvils nodded in agreement. ”Yeah. I can see both teams have a similar strategy. The Student Council team tried to eliminate the magician first by sending Laust Lange. That fake would certainly throw someone off, and Theodore Griffith, his opponent, should chase him to stop anyone from harming the magician, only to find himself trapped by Laust Lange and Jay Mao.
”But since Theodore Griffith also aimed for their magician, it didn't happen. Jay Mao had prepared to hit Theo either way, so he launched his magic to kill him. Once again, Theodore Griffith adjusted his plan and hit Iv Rith in the middle.
”This gave an opportunity for Phyrill Hilbert to go for Jay Mao's neck. Yet, if you take another look at the battlefield…” Radvils narrowed his eyes.
”Yes.” Principal Eigen seemed to understand it as well and said, ”Phyrill Hilbert had been maintaining his position, so his back faced Jay Mao. If Jay Mao could carefully assess the situation, eliminating the shock element, he would have hit Phyrill Hilbert first. This is why it's good for student-level manipulation.
”However, Jay Mao is also a student. It's hard for him to notice it, especially with Ellen Marcines putting pressure on him..”
Radvils nodded in agreement. ”At the same time, Sihan Raskaka was always standing on edge instead of leaning to the middle as if he had no intention in stopping Kong Sovan. They probably wanted to test Kong Sovan's reaction speed. And that one slash decided the next course as Phyrill Hilbert aborted his mission and activated the only thing that made him famous… The werewolf's kid…
