No one came to fight over the supply station in D Area anymore, not even the supply station in C Area Cathy was guarding.

    Cathy grew more anxious instead of feeling relieved.

    Aria had be everyone’s target. Even the instructors were watching her closely.

    It was not a good thing for Aria to be too superb for other teams.

    Cathy hadn’t expected Aria to be so impressive.

    Cathy thought, ‘All the teams have known something about Aria, and things have gotten more dangerous.

    If I were the enemymander, I’d surely join forces with the other teams to take out the biggest threat first.

    “The moment the team round starts, it’s going to be a brutal fight,” Cathy said to William.

    Hearing this, William said without hesitation, “Without your help, our team would’ve been eliminated ages ago. We’ll do what we’ve promised.”

    The fighter from William’s team said confidently, “Don’t worry, William. We promised you we’d win. You have our word.”

    Excited, the technician of the team said, “I can’t wait. 2V6. It’s gonna be a thrill.”

    In the end, only eight teams would make it to the team round.

    Even if they teamed up with the other six teams to go after Cathy’s team, they still couldn’t win, and nobody would even remember their names.

    But if they chose to side with Cathy, they’d be the brightest supporting roles in thepetition, whatever the

    oue.

    Cathy said with a bright smile, “Alright. Let’s face them head-on.”

    At the same time, Clifford got the news and called his team together. He said seriously, “Fabian and his crew are nning to team up with the other teams to eliminate Aria first.

    “What do you guys think?”

    Zoey was the first to speak. “We could just stay out of it.”

    Hank said, “But if we stay out of it, once they eliminate Aria’s team, we’ll be their next target.

    “Aria’s way too hard to handle. The good thing is she’s not allowed to eliminate anyone.”

    Clifford turned to Mike and said, “You’re the new guy. Give your opinion.”

    Mike said truthfully, “If you put yourself in Fabian’s shoes, you would know teaming up with other teams is the best way to

    eliminate Aria.

    “But only one team can win. Fabian’s team is ying to win, and even if the others teamed with them, there is no way they can win. So what’s the point of taking risks?”

    Mike thought, ‘As long as we didn’t mess with Aria, she wouldn’t go after us.

    I’vest if we can’t win, as long as we weren’t eliminated, we could still take the team round and solo round to get some

    experie

    Winning a angetant, but it’s not the only thing that matters

    Arsa was too strong, and Fabian’s team had been ying all sides, making others believe all teams participated in the action

    other than them

    Make continued. “More importantly, the key to the team round is cracking the encrypted information, getting every member through the solo round and defeating the final boss as quickly as possible.

    “The scramble for supply stations in the past couple of days gave everyone the illusion thatbat prowess was everything. but in truth, once you earned a spot in thepetition, it all came down to teamwork.

    Every member is crucial. If anyone falls behind, the whole team will suffer. So I don’t think Aria will make much difference to the team round

    The real threat isn’t Cathy’s team. It’s ours

    With Gerald on our side, we’ll be the fastest at cracking the codes. As long as no one falls behind, there is a good chance well win

    Fabian’s team is just fooling others and taking the opportunity to eliminate rivals. Actually, they only wanted to take Gerald down’

    Zoey and the others stared in stunned silence as Mike finished

    Chifford threw an arm around Mike’s shoulders and said, “Bro, maybe you should be the one calling the shots?”

    Mike grinned. “Honestly, it’s easy to figure it out.”
