Chapter 99: MVP of Day 3

Chapter 99: MVP of Day 3

This time, the fight results were not published all at once. Instead, the judges, who had not appeared until now and may not appear during the tournament, decided to reveal the results individually.

They also showed the upcoming matches.

The Clark Group lost and fell into the losers’ bracket. Only two teams remained before them, one they had already beaten before, and the other featuring the Clarks’ well-known arch-enemy.

Both teams would face each other to decide who would fight the Clark Group, while the Elemental Academy waited calmly in the final.

There will be only two matches tomorrow: the match between Broken Leaf and Angelic Wave, and the match between the winner of that match and the Clark Group.

Therefore, tomorrow was decisive, as it would determine who would go to the final against the Elemental Academy.

After all that came out one by one on the big screen, the decisive moment that many had been waiting for finally arrived.

The MVP points ranking and the MVP of the day.

The audience was divided after watching that final battle.

When the ranking was published and the MVP of the day was not, people were confused.

"What’s going on?" many asked, while others understood quickly.

"It’s to remind us that this is how the ranking was... It hasn’t happened before, has it?"

"Could there be a change?"

"Did they make a mistake in the count?"

As usual, people couldn’t stop speculating about what was happening, but everyone focused on those two names at first.

Jenna and Thomas.

Then that screen disappeared, and suddenly a new one appeared.

[MVP of Day 3]

[By unanimous decision: Elliot Clark.]

[His spectacular and powerful artistic performance played a crucial role in keeping the fight going strong in every sense. He was the cornerstone of every move made by Angelic Wave and also maintained perfect control over the movements of The Cats.]

"Huh? Elliot Clark?"

"This..."

The people in the stands were in shock.

While everyone had seen Elliot’s performance and wanted to see him again because it was majestic, they somehow expected the winners of these MVPs to be only the Masters.

It wasn’t the first time an 18-year-old Master had appeared here, but it was the first time so many had appeared. They thought it was normal for one of them to win.

But...

Elliot Clark?

If they thought about it, it wasn’t so bad.

The Cats and Angelic Wave were the only ones who could understand it right now.

Jenna, for example, was thrilled.

"Haha, I knew it, I told you you’d win today!" she exclaimed happily, jumping up and down excitedly.

"And when you show off your true power, I’m sure you’ll get MVP too. Could you win MVP this time?" She looked at him, amazed.

Although she wasn’t excited about winning it, as it was nothing new to her, she did find it exciting that Elliot had won and didn’t understand why.

Elliot simply smiled.

"Well, things just worked out. Looks like we’re facing two battles tomorrow. Broken Leaf and finally the Clark Group."

Steward nodded. "Congratulations on your MVP, but now is not the time to gloat. We won’t have another day off, so we need to make the most of our time. Let’s get back to headquarters."

"Okay."

After that, Steward looked at Chris. "You did amazing today, Chris. You’re starting to understand how to work with Andrew, Rich, and Andy. Keep it up."

Chris nodded, somewhat excited. "Of course, Mr. Steward." He finally felt like he was getting the attention he wanted.

After seeing all the results, they returned to the guild headquarters.

They needed to be in top physical and mental condition to prepare for two fights on the same day.

That’s why today’s victory was so good for everyone’s confidence, especially Chris.

First, they focused on the first fight against Broken Leaf.

They were strong, but they didn’t have any Masters. Their fighting style was a bit rough and straightforward, without much nonsense, so they had two options: face them head-on or choose to stick to a well-planned strategy designed for coordination.

Throughout the day, Steward monitored them so he could choose the right strategy based on the team’s mood and confidence, but he didn’t make his decision until nightfall.

"We’ll use a head-on combat style and face them the same way they face us. Obviously, we’ll have a planned strategy, but we’ll go in head-on." That’s what he said.

With that, they studied the strategy they should use and finished an hour later, at seven o’clock in the evening.

Then, it was time to focus on the Clark Group. As always, they first studied the type of fighting they did.

Or at least that was the intention, but Elliot stopped them.

"Don’t try it. Studying their strategy won’t do us any good tomorrow," he declared.

"What do you mean?" Steward asked.

"They want revenge. They spent a lot of money moving a large number of powerful people to kill me, but they failed. They even lost people, which means they’re angry. That’s why I’m sure John Clark will first challenge us to a fight to the death. He’ll want to kill us all."

Although some of them were surprised, Steward simply nodded.

"If you think that will happen, what do you think we should do, then?"

"Fight head-on. Tomorrow, against the Clark Group, we should prepare to fight with all our strength, because they will try to kill us. And when I say all, I mean all."

Elliot then moved his hands slightly and summoned his creations. Each one appeared with its weapons drawn and ready for battle.

"Including these."

For most of the group, this was the first time they had seen them. In fact, most of them didn’t even know he was a summoner.

"Are those your summons?"

"How long have you been a summoner?"

"Weren’t you a swordsman?"

"My God, they look powerful. Is that a Soul Mage?"

"They’re my summons, pretty strong. In a little while, we can train with them to show you. But now the important thing is to decide what we will do." He looked at Steward.

"I propose to accept a duel to the death and fight them to kill them. Although they are strong and have one more Master than us, we have five more for support. Several of them can be as strong as Andrew. Besides, they feel no pain. What I can say is that tomorrow I will go head-on to kill John Clark."

Steward nodded gently and considered several things.

"Aren’t you afraid of retaliation?"

"If I feared the Clark Family, I wouldn’t be alive."

"..." Once again, Steward moved his mind to think.

This was dangerous because it could trigger a war between guilds. But, of course, it would be easily resolved if the Clarks initiated the fight to the death, something Elliot was completely sure of, but Steward was not so sure.

He understood more than Elliot in some respects.

Spending a few tens of millions on the Clarks was not such a complicated feat. It might have caused the company’s financial problems, but it was not that big of a deal.

So, would they be willing to start a battle to the death against them inside the Combat Arena? Was Elliot’s death really that important?

The uncertainty about that was what was preventing him from making a decision.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to do something.

"There will be a strategy in case what you say doesn’t happen. If they don’t challenge us to a fight to the death, the strategy must be followed to the letter, and although you can kill John Clark, you must not kill anyone else who does not try to kill you in the arena. We will continue to follow that rule. Do you understand?" he asked.

Elliot nodded. "As long as I can kill John, I don’t care about the others. Although if they try to kill me, I’ll kill them too. Besides, if they challenge us as a group to a battle to the death, you should know that at least the four Clarks will die."

"Good." He nodded. "Then that’s settled. Let’s discuss the strategy we’ll use if we don’t end up in a battle to the death."

He also cared about his members. A fight to the death wasn’t easy against a team with two Masters in their ranks, both of whom were clearly foreigners. Who knew who they were or where they came from? Considering Tyler Clark’s status in Tanafler City, it was possible they were geniuses from that place.

While Elliot declared that he would kill them and was confident he could do so, they could also kill some of them. Rich, Andy, and Philip weren’t built to withstand such a battle.

That’s why he had to prepare well.

They soon began to devise a strategy and practice their summoning spells. Thanks to their now relatively high level of intelligence, each summoned creature played a very important role in the team. Moreover, they could now cover virtually all the weaknesses they had previously had.

Tank, Soul Mage, a second assassin, and even two powerful new frontline attackers. Thanks to this, for the first time, they were able to defeat the teachers who had been training them in combat.
