Chapter 299: Win or Win? (1/2)
When he woke up, he felt a deja vu as he quickly moved his body to check his condition and turned left and right, trying to find someone in this room.
He soon found Ellen sitting next to his bed while arranging the fruit she just bought.
Noticing Theo's movement, Ellen turned around and smiled. ”You have woken up.”
”If you are here… Doesn't this mean the match is already over?”
”Yeah.” Ellen nodded with a calm expression.
However, this kind of action was already enough for the answer. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. ”I guess we can only aim for third place.”
”I am sorry.” Ellen apologized, looking down with a sad expression.
”It's fine. This one was my fault. I should have given you the strategy instead of keeping it inside me the whole time.”
”But you were just trying to force Nella to come up, leaving no time for you to explain.”
”I could write it and pass it to Phyrill or I should have told you while watching the second battle. The plan was already formulated in my head when watching the second game.”
”NO!” Ellen denied it, but she knew she couldn't convince Theo on this.
”Where are the others?”
”They need to do something.” Ellen looked away.
”Okay… So, who cried?”
”You're not supposed to ask it, you know.” Ellen sighed.
”It's my responsibility. I guess I should start babysitting them.”
”Can I know… Your previous plan?”
”My plan?” Theo smiled. ”I would have thrown your staff to the arena.”
”Huh? That was your plan?”
”Yeah. It should confuse them for a moment because there was a high chance you would appear in the next one. They might think we are going to be stronger with Phyrill, Laust, and Alea together, but that's exactly what I wanted them to think. By throwing your staff, they would bring only either Luka or Zara, but since Zara's power can amplify her teammates, it's better for her to be the decisive match, the last one.
”Hence, I was planning to send Alea and Phyrill for the next match and win the match. Of course, you could also come out at that time. Depending on their answer, I can beat them in the fourth round.” Theo sighed. ”I guess you used the normal strategy.”
Ellen looked at the ceiling and felt horrible. ”I guess we are really useless without you.”
”Not really.” Theo shook his head. ”The reason I dare to use something like this is due to my view toward all of you. To win, I will do whatever, even if it makes me or you look bad. That's why I can be this bold.
”Ahaha. Anyway, what we can do is to win the last one and get the bronze. I am not letting this slide anymore.” Theo smiled while trying to take another look at his mission.
