As soon as all the fights ended, the first round of the Battle Competition is finally over. This means to say that it is now time for the second round.
But before they proceed to the second round, Princess Tila called out some players first, just like the last time, "Guild Leader Loki and Edgar Pierce, please come in front of me!"
Unlike the previous time, Princess Tila had only called out two players to choose their opponents. That is because there are only five players remaining. As for the fifth player, he'd have to wait for the revival round to end before he could fight his opponent, which honestly speaking, is actually a really good opportunity for that person to recuperate even more stamina and energy.
Leo and Edgar Pierce are already automatically excluded from such an opportunity as they have been called by Princess Tila to choose their opponents. In addition to that reason, the two of them are one of the best and most capable players in the Battle Competition, and not only that, but they are also considered as the most likely candidate to win and become the champion, so it is fair and just for them to not be given that opportunity by Princess Tila. And according to the popular demand by the spectators, Selina is highly likely to not be chosen as well.
Therefore, this leaves only Edi, and Matty, who both didn't disappoint anyone and won their respective fights, to potentially get such a life-saving opportunity. Now, it all just depends on who among the two of them has the greatest luck than the other player.
However, contrary to what Leo and Edgar Pierce were expecting, it was actually Selina who was given such an opportunity, whereas both Edi and Makky were unfortunate enough to have to face against Guild Leader Loki and Edgar Pierce.
"Guild Leader Loki against Edi!"
"Edgar Pierce against Makky!"
Princess Tila announces the arrangement of the fight in the second round of the Battle Competition.
There was no need for Leo and Edgar Pierce to ask, as this is clearly just another work of bias and favoritism by Princess Tila once again for Selina because she is Elmont's girlfriend. This time, the one's who has fallen victim were the cannon fodders.
Nevertheless, if one just analyzes closely, then they will arrive at the conclusion that it actually isn't that strange as to why Princess Tila had decided to arrange the second round this way. Think about it, once Edi and Makky are defeated, they'll be placed in either the fifth or sixth place. After that, whoever loses in the battle between the player who won the revival round against Selina would get the seventh place, which if one considers who those players could likely be, specifically either Osborne or Faye, would find that it is indeed reasonable. After all, Osborne and Faye are much more capable than Edi and Makky no matter which angles one would look at it.
In other words, Princess Tila is planning on giving the top places of the Battle Competition to those players who really deserve them more, than to those players who could merely get them due to luck.
"How wise of you, Princess Tila. You are totally deserving of the title Princess of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, there is no doubt to that," Leo complimented.
"You bet, that's why no one likes to offend the Evergreen Royal Family even if they can. That is because their family is full of talented people aside from Elmont," Edgar Pierce nodded his head in agreement.
Hearing Edgar Pierce's words, Princess Tila suddenly thought something and said, "Hear that, Guild Leader Loki. If you keep on dismissing my moves on you, then I might just make you live a miserable life in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, hehehe,"
"You can try. Since I couldn't care any less whatever anyone in the Emerald Tree Kingdom would do to me nor to the Mischievous Lion Guild as we could always just leave this Kingdom territory and go somewhere else with less trouble compare to here," Leo responded dismissively. He already has enough trouble just dealing with Cassandra and his other women, so why would he bother adding any more trouble to that? No matter how beautiful a woman is, if they are just the epitome of trouble, then it is much better to have less of them. To simply put things, he is already contented with what he currently has.
"Grggg! Why do you keep on ignoring me?! Am I really that undesirable for you, ha? Guild Leader Loki, answer me?!" Princess Tila exclaimed in anger. Though despite saying those words so loudly, it was only her, Guilder Leader Loki, and Edgar Pierce, who are currently close to each other right now, could hear. That is because she had cast an Isolation Magic spell that prevents anyone other than them to hear her voice.
"It isn't that you are undesirable. It is just that I already have too much trouble to handle," Leo replied calmly before walking farther away from Princess Tila.
"What did you just say, Guild Leader Loki?! Are you saying that I am troublesome? You…"
Leo completely ignored Princess Tila's words and didn't bother listening to them any longer as he could already expect that all of her lines would just be nothing more than her explaining that she is not troublesome or will not cause him any trouble. Well, all women would say the same lines, until they finally become one's own woman. Regardless, it is just a question of whether dealing with the trouble is worth it or not?
Similar to the previous time, a staff was long already waiting for Guild Leader Loki to arrive. That staff then guided him to a corner of the stage where he and Edi would be fighting against each other without anyone accidentally interrupting their fight.
"Both of you will be fighting here," The staff instructed after stopping at a certain corner of the stage.
Surprisingly, this corner of the stage was the same location as where Leo had fought against Eme Clarity in the first round.
It didn't take that long for Leo to understand the exact reason for the staff's arrangement. Clearly, the staff can't be bothered with Edi as his defeat is already quite obvious against him. So probably that staff had thought that rather than having them fight in a new place and cause another degree of damage to the stage, it is much better to have them both fight in an already damage location, thus saving time once he begins the repair.
Deep in Leo's mind, he also can't be bothered with whatever the staff arrangement is. The only thing that really concerns him is to defeat Edi as quickly as possible in order to conserve as much energy and stamina and proceed to the semi-finals.
Leo and Edi are already aware of what to do next. As such, they didn't wait for the staff's instruction and walked straight to the opposite corner from each other.
Along the way, Leo can't help himself from listening to Princess Tila's arrangement for the revival game.
"As expected," Leo muttered to himself. Just like what he had already guessed before, Princess Tila had made Osborne and Faye fight against Harold and Coni first, who were both also considered as cannon fodders in the Battle Competition. By doing this, she had already completely eliminated the four players who had relied on luck to get this far in the game.
"It is really amusing to look at other people executing their own schemes, and being a part of it myself," Leo thought. Normally, he's the one making the plans and the others around him would execute it. But this time, he is the one to execute it, rather than create the plan. This doesn't necessarily mean that he prefers to do this than making plans nonetheless. After all, the latter is much more troublesome than the former.
Since Eme Clarity had voluntarily conceded in participating in the revival round due to him exhausting all of her energy and stamina during their fight, thus this round is expected to proceed much smoother than what was planned beforehand, which at the same time also mean that it will end fast.
Leo turned to look at Selina, who is currently sitting crossed-legged and recuperating at the side, as he said, "I guess Selina won't be able to recuperate that much energy and stamina before her fight. But it should at least still give her more advantage than the person who will win in the revival round,"
After all, as soon as the player who won the revival game is chosen, that said player would immediately be fighting against Selina who had taken a lot of time of rest, whereas they have only taken a few minutes to recuperate. They would no doubt have a lot of disadvantages during that time. Unless of course if that said player has an overwhelming advantage against Selina. Only by then could they ignore and bridge the gap of their lack of enough stamina and energy in the fight.
And there is only one person that he could somewhat think that has the capability to do this.
Leo turned to look at Osborne, "Will you really be able to do that, Osborne?"
