"Uooohhh!"
"The entire stadium is trembling. After an intense match that lasted for 12 minutes and 47 seconds, the conclusion has been reached. Imemine gets three points from the flag, while Libation Fiesta also gets three points from taking down three people." Shion shouted. Her entire body was shaking due to the excitement.
"This match is too intense."
"Yeah. This is too good!"
"Libation Fiesta!"
"Imemine!"
"I just got a goosebump. This is insane."
"What will happen in the next round? The individual match!"
The people were shouting out loud. The best match of the day was definitely a befitting title for this match.
The reactions varied. The people that supported Imemine couldn’t help but gasp in shock, never thinking that Libation Fiesta could fight the group they supported this much.
"Impossible. How can they defeat three of our own so swiftly?"
"It must be a surprise attack!"
"Are they going to lose the individual match?"
On the other hand, the people who wanted the Dark Horse to win were cheering joyfully. This was a chance like no other. If they managed to overwhelm them individually, there was a chance that they could stand a chance against groups with Tier 4 people.
They expected a lot from them. Obviously, Mayor Revan was one of those people. He had been dancing nonstop because he couldn’t contain his excitement.
He thought that his group would be eliminated in the preliminary match, but he was wrong. The youngest as well as the ’weakest’ group actually managed to show such might. This would definitely boost the morale of his base.
Meanwhile, the other groups couldn’t help but furrow their eyebrows.
"They are this strong?" Rafael furrowed his eyebrows. He thought that only Jay and Clovis were special, but after watching this match, he realized that the entire group was rather special. Without proper planning, they might end up getting defeated.
"…" Aileen’s expression turned grim.
"Aileen… It’s not like your prediction. Instead of 6-0, Libation Fiesta is able to tie the score with 3-3," said Lana while furrowing her eyebrows.
"Libation Fiesta has actually surpassed Erwin’s imagination…" Aileen couldn’t help but frown. "Pay attention to their match from now on."
"Are you saying that they are able to defeat both Imemine and Eight Swords?"
Aileen bit her lips. "I don’t know, but the chance is there. We also have to move right away, stopping other cities from getting them. We have to do it first or…"
"The situation will become more complicated, huh?" Lana nodded. "I’ll make some calls after this."
Shion continued, "Despite getting outsmarted, Libation Fiesta actually managed to overcome the challenge with the sheer strength of their individuals. I have never seen anything like this. How can you even believe this? Three of them are 16 years old and only Tier 2, but they’re the ones ruining Imemine’s plan.
"There is a 10-minute break before the individual competition. I can’t wait… Khhh! Why is there even a break? My heart can’t wait that long."
The cheers erupted even bigger. A lot of people were chanting the name of the groups they supported.
Meanwhile, there were two people whose heart didn’t contain a single speck of excitement.
They were Clovis and Erwin.
"To think that we could only get three points from that flag…" Erwin looked at Clovis solemnly. "You should know what this means too, right?"
"Yeah. Everything was the leader’s fault. In other words, we were at fault for this result." Clovis sighed.
"I was at fault for miscalculating your team’s power. You were at fault for getting outsmarted by me. And my biggest miscalculation was your operator being able to stop Jay in time." Erwin scratched the back of his head.
"I finally understand what kind of person you are." Clovis thought for a moment before saying, "I have underestimated you."
"Well, thanks." Erwin pointed at Clovis. "But this is not over, I will beat you in the individual match. I know that you are still holding back because you deem that defeating me in a short time is impossible. It means that the gap between our strengths isn’t that big."
"Who knows?" Clovis shrugged.
"If that wasn’t the case, you would have crushed me when everyone was gone." Erwin snorted. "It seems that we can only settle this in the individual match. Now that the score is tied, two wins are all it takes for us to advance to the next round."
"Indeed." Clovis nodded while sheathing his swords. "In that case, I’ll give you a reward for showing me my weakness."

"Reward?"
"Yeah. I will send Ragna in the first match and fight personally in the second match. I will win those two matches and advance to the next round." Clovis smirked.
"Oi, oi. Are you trying to mess with my mind right now?"
"You can treat it however you like." Clovis paused for a moment. "If you don’t like it, how about we bet on something?"
"A bet, huh?"
"Yeah. If I win against you, you will join my group. Let’s travel together." Clovis smirked.
"Is that supposed to be an invitation? As someone from a larger city, I was supposed to be the one extending my invitation, you know…" Erwin chuckled. "But as a fighter myself, I appreciate knowing you think highly of me. However, I don’t like that kind of bet."
"Is that so? That’s a shame." Clovis chuckled.
"You should fight Aileen first before extending that invitation to me. Not that it’s possible since you’re going to lose against me."
"Interesting." Clovis turned around. "In that case, we shall see who comes on top in the individual match."
"Yeah. This time, I won’t make another miscalculation."
Clovis smiled. In the Another World Mall, there was a restaurant option. Its food could boost his group’s performance.
However, this was a competition. He didn’t really want to cheat in such a fair competition unless his opponent was a jerk.
That was why he didn’t plan to use his Another World Mall for this match.
