Chapter 100: Cyber Squad vs Lionheart Legacy [2]

In Cyber Squad’s gaming booth...

Isabella looked at her captain. ’This...,’ she hesitated.

Seeing the ugly look on Caster’s face, she knew exactly what he was thinking. After spending a few weeks with him, though she acknowledged his skill, she also knew his weaknesses, he was too arrogant and conceited.

’Sigh..., he’s so different from captain’. She thought.

But in the end, she knew she had to take responsibility. To the outside world, Caster was the captain but in truth, it was all for publicity.

Only a few important figures at the club knew the truth that Isabella was the true captain after Noah’s departure. And her biggest job was managing the ego of their new star player, and keeping him in line.

She hesitated. "Umm, captain, I’ll be going next".

"Go if you want!" Caster snapped, still seething in rage.

Isabella smiled, not minding the disrespect. "I believe that you were better in the individual battle, Harvey won because he played dirty".

"I know!"

Maintaining her smile, Isabella’s Avatar finally entered the arena.

For the 2nd individual battle, she was representing Cyber Squad and she now had a big task to fulfill. ’I can’t afford to lose’.

’With him losing, the team is already shaky’. She briefly glanced at her teammates. ’Morale is low now, I need to restore it’.

She thought of Harvey. ’That shameless old man, I won’t let him have his way!’

With that, she entered the Arena.

The pressure was hard on her but Isabella was able to deliver. With her Paladin, against Lionheart Legacy’s Ghostblade, she was able to deliver, winning and getting a point for Cyber Squad.

Cyber Squad also won the 3rd individual battle, completing a comeback and stealing the lead even as the stadium became a cauldron of noise again.

But even as Cyber Squad fans celebrated, including the players, one specific player remained inconsolable.

’Unacceptable!’

’I can’t accept this!’

’How can they all win and I be the only one who lose?!’

’Does that mean I’m useless?’

’I can’t accept this!’

Isabella could sense the dark thoughts going through her captain’s mind, and she was worried.

She was not the only one who sensed it though, a certain shameless old man in Harvey also sensed it.

The 3 vs 3 battle rush started as Caster was eager restore his pride. But what he didn’t expect was how unbridled Harvey was going to be.

Harvey didn’t hold back, trash-talking Caster till even Isabella started feeling bad on his behalf, trolling him for losing as the captain and with an Avatar as overpowered as the Battle God of Warstar while his underlings won their own battles.

In the end, Isabella finally realized.

’This guy..., he deliberately let us win the last battle right’.

’Just so he could attack Caster psychologically!’

She gritted her teeth angrily. ’...bastard!’

In the end, there was nothing she could do.

Caster was already overly eager to perform before Cyber Squad’s home fans in their home stadium, and Harvey’s taunting pushed him over the edge.

Caster was no longer in the right state of mind.

He was angry, frustrated, and erratic.

Isabella tried to warn him but knowing his personality, she knew that it would only backfire.

Looking at Harvey’s Paladin through her monitor, she despaired. ’This guy..., he’s planned this from he very beginning right?’

’To treat a promising youngster like this..., Harvey where is your shame?!’

Clearly, shame was a foreign word to Harvey though.

Because in the 3 vs 3 battle rush, Harvey held nothing back.

He let Lionheart Legacy’s other Paladin fight Caster first, whose APM exploded to ridiculous levels in the fight, overly eager to win.

At some point, the combos were so much that the home fans started cheering for the Battle God again.

But Isabella knew. ’Damn..., they’re falling into his schemes again’.

Lionheart’s other Paladin was not as offensive as Harvey’s own Avatar. His was a more defensive minded Paladin, one that could substitute as a Cleric.

His role in meeting Caster first was not to defeat the Battle God, but to rile him up and frustrate him due to how long it was taking to complete the battle.

It lasted 8 minutes and 23 seconds, pushing Caster’s patience to the limit.

’No...!’ Isabella’s eyes widened because she knew what would come next.

[Avatar Charging Vale has entered the Arena!]

Lionheart’s Paladin despite being defeated managed to wear Caster’s Stinger of War Avatar to below 40% HP because of his reckless fighting, and now...

Harvey grinned.

{I told you you’re nothing important right? Just an arrogant, overpampered brat who doesn’t know his place.}

{What’s with that face? You don’t believe me? Just watch me crush you!}

’Shameless bastard..., he’s already at 40% HP!’ Isabella thought angrily but the others didn’t see her POV, even her other teammates.

Alongside the fans, they cheered the Battle God on, piling pressure on his shoulders that he must win against that annoying Paladin.

Caster heard all the roars, the chants.

Caster was intelligent, he knew how unlikely it was with just 40% HP to win against Harvey but still, his ego could not help it.

’I am controlling Stinger of War!’

Noticing the look on him, Harvey secretly smirked. ’Done’.

The battle started and it was a one-sided beatdown.

Harvey with his Charging Vale Avatar absolutely crushed Stinger of War 1v1, breaking the Avatar. Not just the Avatar, but also the controller behind it.

Crack!

Caster vividly heard his pride being shattered.

"...!"

With bloodshot eyes, he watched, seething in rage.

Harvey was ruthless though even after winning as he continued taunting Caster on the Arena, saying that he was not worthy of the Stinger of War Avatar, that he should return it to the rightful owner.

’This...!’ Isabella was worried.

Despite knowing that it was just part of Harvey’s psychological warfare all to win the battle, she couldn’t help but feel bad since she knew how it was affecting Caster and what he was likely thinking.

Harvey was not all talk and boast though.

Perhaps trampling on Stinger of War for the first time in years emboldened him, pushing him to the flow state because he actually completed an incredible 1v3 against Cyber Squad and won!

Harvey singlehandedly won the 3 vs 3 battle rush.

And yet, he didn’t stop, taunting Caster still.

By the time the team battle rolled over, Caster already lost it completely, no longer in the right state of mind to compete but Isabella dared not tell him to leave the fight. Because of his ego, and because he was the captain.

Arrogantly and petulantly, Caster pushed on to fight.

And that led to a humiliation in the team battle.

Isabella tried to curb the situation but she could not as after employing some devious strategies to isolate Caster and Stinger of War from his teammates, the Battle God was ganged up on and brutally murdered.

Caster... was the first to die in the team battle.

...Emotional damage.

Isabella couldn’t hold it in anymore, she directly messaged Harvey despite the fact that it was being broadcasted to the world.

{Hey! You’re taking it too far!}

{Too far?} Harvey sent laughing emojis. {Someone has to teach your petulant captain a lesson, that rising to the top is not just banked on getting a God-level account. Someone has to teach him not to underestimate the Pro scene.}

{Come on Isabella, instead of criticizing me, you should be thanking me for being the senior educating the junior.} He sent more laughing emojis.

Crack!

Behind his monitor, in the ghost state of his Avatar, Caster watched, reading the line of text that Harvey sent on the task as he heard more of his ego shattering.

’Ah...!’ Caster grabbed his head, feeling like he was losing his mind.

With the best Avatar and trump card of Cyber Squad won, there was only one outcome destined to be of the team battle.

One by one, Harvey led his teammates to pick out and kill the Cyber Squad Avatars, dominating so hard that the Cyber Squad stadium fell completely silent.

It was no longer like the stadium of one of the biggest Warstar clubs in England, rather, it felt like a cemetery instead.

Some fans literally broke down in tears as they watched how their team was being bullied on the first game of the season.

...

Birmingham City, England...

There was a solemn atmosphere now in the living room as Benjamin, Genevieve, and Caleb stared at the proceedings on the screen.

"Tsk". Benjamin stood up, grabbing a cup of water. "Disgraceful". He muttered.

"I should hate them," Genevieve gritted her teeth. "But this is so heartbreaking..., I was a Cyber Squad fan for 10 years".

Caleb sighed. "That boy is not fit to be a captain".

"Unless a miracle happens and his personality and outlook of the game changes, Cyber Squad will be on course to have their worst season ever".

But then, Benjamin managed to shake it off quickly as the game finally came to an end. He chuckled. "They betrayed us, now, they’ve been be-destroyed, heh!"

The game finally came to an end, Lionhearts Legacy won.
