Chapter 241 - Ch 239 : Final Day Of The Competition
In the stadium, the committees were reading the rules for today's battle.
There were three participants left, so this final day would be more than a one-on-one battle of the finalist.
At first, Ray thought that it would be a battle royal between the two teams, but it seems that Ray thinks a bit too much.
The committees had divided this battle into two. Upper bracket and lower bracket.
First, three-team would send their strongest Daoist to play in the upper bracket, doing a free-for-all-three-person battle.
Then, the winner of this three-person battle would continue to the final round of the competition while the two losing sides would battle each other to fight for the other spot of the final round.
Hearing this, Ray's mind instantly worked hard. He had imagined countless possible situations and tried to think of the best possible strategy for the girl.
' Aina, please find the best possible strategy to win.'
Humph, if what you mean by you mind instantly working hard is by asking Aina, maybe you should rephrase your words.
Well, Ray knew that his IQ was still lower than the others. Thus, even though he was a bit more cunning from reading all those battle novels, Ray still was not confident that he could gain an advantage on this battle of wits against the other.
No need to worry, host. In fact, you don't need to think about anything and just wait patiently in the final round.
Aina's words fell, and Ray was a bit confused. But just when he wanted to ask what she meant, a change happened in the battle arena.
" Princess team abstained in the three-person battle and choose to attend the Lower-bracket.
"
" Humph, coward. The capital team also choose to abstain and go to the lower bracket.
"
Two sentences from two teams and immediately made the audience uproar.
The audience looked intently at Elsa's and Jack's team as they didn't know what they wanted to do.
They actually let go of the chance to immediately go into the upper bracket and choose to battle each other in the lower bracket. Was their IQ a bit too low to understand this strategy, or there was just no strategy at all?
However, under all this commotion, maybe only Elsa could still smile calmly.
The beautiful girl who just announced her abstained looked at Ray's side and waved.
Truthfully, she also didn't want to abstain from this three-person battle. But after seeing Jack's battle intent, she knew that if they were to battle, Jack would immediately ignore everything else and rush to her, making her situation a bit disadvantaged.
Moreover, things would just get worse for her if Emi eventually decided to join the battle and play a 2-on-1 strategy for her. Therefore, even though it was a bit of shame, this abstain was the best strategy for her.
' Well, just treat it that I sell Ray Nii-sama a favor. Hehe, Ray Nii-sama now must be looking at me with some inexplicable gaze.'
Soon, the uproar ended, and even though the committees smelled something wrong in this, they still had no other choice but to comply with the two abstaining participants.
The committees congratulate the girl's team as they have clinched on spot in the final round and proceeded to prepare for the rematch of Elsa against Jack once again.
Three teams left the battle arena for a while, and quickly a new majestic battle arena was built.
This time, it was almost twice bigger than before, and there was a palace-like theme on the side.
A big effort worthy of the final round, Ray thought.
With that, just like the battle between the Dark-robed team and the mechanical engineered team, some special effects started to play when the committees introduced the two teams to the public.
Elsa's team with a glamourous fairy theme, while Jack's team had a majestic emperor team.
All of this was just a show arranged by the committees to increase the hype of the final round, but Ray suddenly noticed there was something wrong here..
' Aina, I don't think I have seen that girl before.'
Behind Elsa, there was the usual Alexander and a strangely beautiful girl that Ray had never seen before. The usual George was gone, and now it was replaced by this girl.
Heh, actually, the host has seen her before, it's just the host hasn't realized her identity yet.
Ray was a bit confused at Aina's words. If it was such a beautiful girl, then he should not have easily forgotten her. But Ray has no memory of meeting that girl. However, it seems Aina's explanation hasn't ended yet.
But it was a bit funny. The host had tried his best so that Jack would not join Elsa's team, but instead, a more dangerous opponent has joined her team.
Ray's forehead was full of blacklines as he heard this. He wanted to refute, but there was no word that he could utter against Aina's words.
" ....
"
Back in the battle arena, not only Ray, even Jack's team was a bit startled with the appearance of this strangely beautiful girl.
However, they really didn't take her seriously as they thought she was only a substitute for George.
The referee looked at both of the teams and gave the signal to summon their spirit beast.
But just as soon as their spirit beast was summoned, a new uproar was resounded throughout the arena.
This time, both teams only summon one spirit beast, which somehow made the referee feel that he was having a headache.
Even the committees inside had black lines all over the face. First abstaining, and down only summon one spirit beast, do these guys really take the competition seriously.
Still, they knew that they could not change Elsa's and Jack's minds. Therefore even though there was a bit of unwillingness, the committees still gave the signal for the referee to start the match.
" Hehe, I knew you would think the same as me, Jack.
"
" Humph, I just don't want these guys to hinder our battle.. Let's do it Elsa, our last battle and the most epic battle of this competition.
"
