"Three teams will fight in a battle! And with these three teams, three people on each team would fight one team!"
"An example would be Grandelle will have to send three different people against Star State and Evergreen. And they would all have to be different people."
I see, so that was how it was. If that were the case, I would have to fight Evergreen while Serena should fight Grandelle.
"First off, we have Grandelle and Star State!"
"Serena, you will be the last person fighting them. I will fight Evergreen."
I wasn't one hundred percent confident that Serena could take on Lisa. And there was no point in taking that risk when I knew Serena was stronger than Bianca.
Serena frowned at my decision. Did she want to fight Lisa?
"You can fight Lisa at a later event."
I had managed to control her dissatisfaction. The match was about to start, and one person needed to go.
"I want to go first."
This time it was Noelle who wanted to go. After the last fight, she had to fight someone and win. It would be sad to see her lose.
Looking at the fight, was I mistaken about our team's power ranking? Noelle was probably third, and not Maddison.
Noelle herself had eliminated the rest of team Grandelle. Bianca didn't join the battle, and I presume she would fight Team Evergreen.
Team Grandelle had sent their weakest team. At least Noelle had gotten back her pride which she had lost in the previous match.
With the battle over, Noelle came back looking proud. Even if her expression was stiff, everyone could feel the mood that she was radiating.
"Next up, we have Team Grandelle and Evergreen!"
Now, all that mattered was if Lisa would show up in this fight. Seele was the second person to show up.
Does that mean Lisa would go if Seele were defeated? Seele had beaten the second person from Grandelle, and it was finally Bianca's turn.
Bianca was fighting with Seele on equal terms. With her wind, she managed to stop and counter every move that Seele made.
This fight wasn't looking so good for Grandelle. If Bianca had trouble defeating Seele, her last opponent would be even tougher to fight.
Both sides had the mana drained. They had clashed without anyone winning the fight. Bianca, who had enough of this stalemate, would end this in one fell swoop.
Creating a ball of razor wind, Bianca launched it on Seele. With the water barrier broken. The razor wind had landed on Seele, making Bianca win the fight.
Now that Seele was out, the next person sent in would decide who we would fight. Bianca was still healthy, and while she had lost a considerable amount of mana, she wasn't hurt.
Sending in the next person, it was Lisa. I see, even with her strength, she wasn't confident about beating us.
They wanted to secure second place. It was reasonable, but I couldn't help but be disappointed. Serena, who was also watching, couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Don't worry. We will get them next time."
With the battle started, Bianca was already in a losing position. No one here expects Bianca to win. She had already done her best to eliminate a strong competitor.
But sometimes, doing your best wouldn't help. Sometimes I don't understand her. She doesn't immediately wipe her opponent to the ground in every fight we have seen.
Was she some sadistic demon who had the pleasure of seeing all of her opponent's struggles? These things weren't uncommon, but they still left a bad taste in some people.
After a while, Bianca had lost all her mana. Lisa had won without hurting Bianca. It was like she was playing around with a child.
"For our final battle, we have Star State against Evergreen!"
"I will finish this fight immediately."
I was the only person here who hadn't fought in this event. I was tired of sitting down for hours and watching these fights.
No one here objected, so I went on the stage. The crowd was excited to see me fight. And for my opponent, they weren't looking so well.
The first person I was going to fight was a fairy. When the battle started, I blew up the tiny girl and won in one move.
"We surrender!"
Lisa had made the shot and had her whole team surrender. They saw no point in me demolishing her friends in an instant.
"We have our winner from Team Star State!"
"Woooo!"
"Yippie!"
I couldn't help but be sarcastic, seeing that I had won. I'm not going to lie. My motivation for this tournament had significantly dwindled. Now that we were finished, I went back to my seat.
"Serena, want to go now? I have no interest in watching anymore."
Since we were done, there was no point in us staying. I was tired of watching battles and battles over again.
The results were already determined, and I wouldn't be surprised if all of my seniors got third in this event.
"How about we watch for morale support?"
It would be disrespectful if I left immediately. I couldn't help but sigh. I have grown too soft as a person over these few months.
Our second year got second. They played smart and focused their leading team on the weakest one. And for our fourth year, we had gotten third, unable to do anything against the other team.
"We should go now."
"I will follow where ever you go."
I'm sure she meant that in a literal sense. It was a good thing the others didn't find what Serena said strange.
"You four could do whatever you want. I have something to do with Serena."
And with that, the two of us went out on our shopping spree. I would use some of Serena's money, but I must repay the favor, I don't know what Serena wanted, but I hope it wouldn't be too taxing.
Sometimes having someone you know who is rich is the best feeling.
