”…” Everyone was stunned when they saw the result. They all dropped their jaws, not believing what just happened.

”Did… Did Theo just throw his own flag?” Sheira's voice echoed in their ears as she seemed to be as perplexed as most people in the stadium.

Only a few people actually understood Theo's tactic.

”He is only a first-year student, but he is already this good?”

”This one is so nasty.”

”His intent may have been discovered, but no one will know who is going to fight in the remaining battles.”

”Indeed. He doesn't behave like a normal student as he seems to not care much about his fame and reputation. He simply wants to win.”

”Recruiting him may be harder than we thought.”

”But if we succeed, the reward is big.”

All those who understood Theo quickly reconsidered their offer, wondering how they could invite Theo. A loner like him should be easy to change nationality, but they required more information about Theo, especially as an individual.

While those people talked, Theo and the others had returned to their room with a poker face.

”Hahahaha! I truly love that move. Did you see your cousin's expression? It's so satisfying!” Phyrill laughed out loud.

Theo looked at him with a serious expression to shut him up.

After feeling his glare, Phyrill took a deep breath to stop his laughter.

”I'm sure you have understood her level right now. It's impossible for us to challenge those B Rank Skills. Although it looks like one upgrade from C Rank Skill, you should still look at the difference between D to C Rank and C to B Rank.

”From D Rank or Champion Rank Monster to C Rank or Hero Rank Monster, there is only a 100 levels gap. Meanwhile, from C to B Rank, there is a huge 250 levels gap. Those two skills are too powerful.” Theo shook his head. ”It's close to impossible to defeat her.”

”Hoh? Close to impossible?” Alea frowned and looked at Theo.

”The plan is the same. I'm going to fight her one-on-one. After all, the only one who can handle her is me… Don't you agree?” Theo shrugged.

”I guess your Teleportation Skill is the only way to escape from it…” Phyrill noticed the hidden meaning behind his arrogance.

”Exactly. I don't need to take it head-on. Just use Blink together with my clone, which adds up to two. Two B Rank Skills against two Teleportation Skills… I think this is the best chance against her.”

”You have exhausted her a bit after all.” Phyrill nodded in agreement.

”Yeah. That's all. We don't have any change in the basic plan. We can only respond to what they throw at us during the brawl.”

”Roger.” Phyrill nodded and rose from the chair. ”Let's go.”

Laust and Alea agreed as they couldn't waste any more time.

They quickly headed to the arena.

Before entering the arena, Phyrill added, ”Theo's request. We are to end this fight within five minutes.”

”Can you do something like that?”

”Yes. Alea will handle Clark. Laust and I will aim for the flag. We both are speed-type fighters, so we should be able to do it better than the previous match.”
