"And this person…" Kanaria abruptly stopped her explanation regarding the enemy. "Is there sothing wrong, Clovis?"
Clovis seed to be in the middle of deep thought as if there was a big problem in their plan.
Clovis remained silent for a minute before saying, "I'm thinking about ending the first battle by myself."
"By yourself?" Kanaria furrowed her eyebrows. "Are you serious?"
"Yes." Clovis nodded.
"If you do it that way, it ans that the rest of us will remain on the base, protecting the flag. But if we do it that way, you will be targeted by our opponents. More importantly, you have to show your power…"
"I know. I've got so plans in mind. And I want to ask you all to trust ."
Kanaria furrowed her eyebrows and glanced at the others. "Well, I don't really mind. Even if your plans are not perfect, you always think carefully about all of them."
"Are you going to have all the fun for yourself?" Jay clicked her tongue.
Clovis shook his head. "This is to win… especially against that Erwin. I don't think he is a re Tier 3. In exchange, how about I let you fight against the Eight Swords' captain tomorrow?"
Jay's expression brightened. He wanted to fight against the other team's captains. The fact that Clovis gave him the chance to test his strength against a Tier 4 opponent ant he was planning to advance to the final since Rafael was the first Tier 4 they would encounter in this tournant.
"Fine." Jay harrumphed. "I'll let you do whatever you want. I will beco the bait so that you can conserve your energy in the third round and face that Tier 4 woman in the final."
Clovis smiled. As expected, Jay fully understood what he wanted just from those hints alone.
"I don't really mind." Ragna nodded. "All I want to do is win. As long as it can help us defeat our opponent, I don't really mind."
"In that case, I will support you from the back, giving their locations and paths." lody shrugged. She cared more about reaching the high tier and getting a doctor for her brother than glory anyway.
Clovis smiled.
Rembering the agreent, everyone from Libation Fiesta except for Clovis remained on the base. Only Clovis stood several ters in front of them, waiting for the signal to begin.
"!!!" Everyone in the stadium couldn't help but widen their eyes, seeing that confident look from Clovis.
"Is he…" Rafael furrowed his eyebrows.
"No way. Is he insane?" Aileen crossed her arms.
"Hahaha. Interesting! Is this a direct challenge against , my rival?" Erwin grinned because his group lost by one point. This one point could be considered Clovis.
He was indirectly saying that he would go alone so that he didn't have to lose one point to their opponent.
"What is this? Clovis is going alone?" Shion's reaction flared up even though her words didn't get transmitted to the speaker in the stadium to avoid giving away information to all parties involved. "This is insane. Their opponent is Raging Bull, who has five Tier 3 and one Tier 2 mbers on their team. Still, for Clovis, who is only Tier 2, to challenge all of them, he is too reckless.
Are we going to be shown the strength of the Libation Fiesta's captain?"
The other party didn't understand what was going on. They were just stretching their bodies while waiting for the signal.
"Without further ado, we shall start the match."
The countdown appeared in the form of a hologram hovering several ters above the arena. The crowd was also chanting to show their excitent.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Start!"
Both Clovis and the Raging Bull group rushed forth, entering the forest area made of dirt and holograms.
"We will go according to the plan."
The Raging Bull let their Tier 2 mber guard the flag. anwhile, their captain moved in the middle as the remaining four split into two groups and went from the sides.
However, they soon realized sothing.
"Huh? Captain… The radar is actually showing only one person going out." One of them shouted.
"What?" Their captain was in disbelief. "Are they treating themselves as bigshots just because their team is acknowledged as a dark horse? They're going to pay for underestimating us. Where is that person?
"Coming to our left side."
"I will intercept him together with those two. You guys move toward us and block any potential attack from their base. And don't go too far in case they are trying to lure us and let their quickest fighters slip past us from the edge."
"Understood."
They imdiately positioned themselves accordingly.
"They're good!" Aileen muttered. "They consider possibilities and calmly adjust their strategy. But…"
Aileen looked at Clovis, who was about to encounter the two mbers of the Raging Bull. The captain would need a few more seconds to reach their positions.
"Here he cos!" One mber using a sword shouted. He sped up while saying, "I'll stop him!"
"I will support you from behind." The other mber who used a spear nodded.
"It's Clovis!" The sword user recognized Clovis in an instant, warning everyone.
"Their captain is here. Let's defeat him right away!"
They were moving toward Clovis, planning to take him on.
"Even if my speed is not fast enough, I can still withstand all your attacks." The sword user shouted as he stepped forward, swinging his sword.
This battle was a disadvantage for Clovis. It wasn't because of the number, it was due to the fact that he couldn't injure them too heavily. If he could, he would have cut them down, or at least their limbs, first to get an opening.
Hence, Clovis moved from below.
"Haaaa!" The sword user swung his sword downward, planning to overwhelm Clovis.
Sadly for him, Clovis's speed was beyond what he had seen in the video.
Clovis sped up one whole level and struck his opponent's sword before the guy could even apply his weight to his attack.
Cling!
"!!!" The guy widened his eyes in shock, almost getting knocked back due to the montum.
The people couldn't help but rise from their seats, not believing the speed Clovis had just shown.
