Chapter 221: The loser
Cecilia had been suspicious for so long that the seeds of doubt had been buried since Kain had first come to their room.
Cecelia's suspicions were not without basis, because normally speaking, no one would open the door for a member of the opposing team at night, and they would also be chatting relatively harmoniously.
In Cecilia's eyes, this was an unusual sign.
So, in the first clash, Cecilia did not go all out, but she silently maintained vigilance towards the four "comrades" behind her.
In other words, she was distracted.
That's also part of the reason why she failed. Meanwhile, the other four showed no signs of suspicion during the fight.
Just as Cecilia's suspicions were decreasing, an incident occurred that pushed her suspicions even higher than before.
Once again, Kain comes. And the signs of betrayal were so obvious that they were difficult to conceal.
At least, that's how things looked in Cecilia's eyes.
This time, she was wiser.
From the beginning until now, it seemed like she was being overwhelmed by Kain's team in terms of strength. But in reality, she was secretly holding back some of her strength, in order to make both Kain's team and the four traitors behind her lose their guard.
Now, she had caught Kain's fox tail.
…
Seeing Cecilia suddenly turn to attack her teammates, the girls in Kain's team all showed surprise, only he showed no expression.
As if he had predicted it all.
Kain's eyes narrowed slightly.
Cecilia's comments are all correct on a logical basis.
However, the human heart and emotions were something she had not considered delicately.
Cecilia hated Kain, but her hatred didn't infect my teammates, because they had almost no connection.
As long as they had the connection as a real team, even if Kain and the other four had no grudge, they would still reject Kain from the entrance.
At that time, his plan would of course fail.
But, nothing is for granted here.
And Cecilia fell into his trap.
"Now is the time for us to attack."
Kain ordered.
Although the plan was successful, this could only increase their odds of winning.
Strategy can only turn this battle into a one-on-one battle, but cannot directly defeat Cecilia.
So, until the very last moment, Kain would not let his guard down.
Immediately, a strange phenomenon occurred on the field.
This was clearly supposed to be a team fight, but now, it looked like everyone was attacking Cecilia.
Or to be more precise, five people attacked Cecilia with all their might, while the remaining four passively counterattacked.
These four people were panicked, they didn't understand why the person they wanted to help turned around and attacked them, even attacking fiercely as if the two sides were enemies.
They wanted to speak up, they wanted to ask questions, but couldn't, because Cecilia was too quick.
They could only counterattack in desperation.
As for Kain's team, it was only then that they officially witnessed Cecilia's true power.
"Don't hold back, once she turns her attack on us, we won't stand a chance!"
Kain was not simply speaking, he was giving orders as a captain.
All the arrangements and plots, just to gain a few precious moments.
Kain knew that with Cecilia's current state, she would quickly detect the abnormality from her teammates. Leading to her understanding Kain's final deception.
So... Cecilia must lose before that moment!
Suddenly, the entire stadium fell into a strange situation.
The other four people painfully resisted Cecilia's storm-like attacks. Just as Kain had predicted, the reason they dared to openly follow Cecilia was because they had a certain amount of confidence in themselves. Here, confidence was in their magical talent. All four of them were talented Magus, not inferior to any of the captains.
So, even if they had to resist Cecilia, they wouldn't be defeated immediately.
This is to prolong the time.
Cecilia was in a very agitated state when she caught the "traitor", which caused her analytical ability to be impaired. Causing her to have a relatively one-sided judgment.
"The other four are resisting, they are my enemies."
Meanwhile, when a sudden situation like this happens, almost everyone will unconsciously resist the impact.
In Cecilia's eyes, this was the moment she had been waiting for, in other words, it was a preparation, but in the eyes of the "traitors", Cecilia was just like someone who was going crazy and attacking them.
That was when Kain's trap was officially closed.
A [Thunder Arrow] shot through the obstruction, hitting Cecilia's back.
The power of this thing is so strong that it instantly activates the invulnerability shield mechanism.
Cecilia failed.
Failed by Kain's plot, failed by her own doubts.
The sword in Cecilia's hand fell to the ground.
Her body also collapsed forward.
"Is this... my failure?"
In her final moments, Cecilia was like someone awakening from a coma.
She took an outside perspective, observing everything she herself did, observing the panicked looks on the faces of teammates she never took seriously.
She finally understood.
That made her shiver.
People like Kain, people like her brother, even when they did nothing, they made her shiver.
Because she didn't know what they could do.
However, on the other hand Cecilia had to admit one thing.
She lost not unfairly.
…
Seeing Cecilia get hit and fall, all the members of Kain's team, including Kain himself, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Even though he had arranged everything to the very end, the pressure that Cecilia brought was still too great.
Luckily, things didn't go as planned after all.
Cecilia lost.
Now they just need to eliminate Cecilia's confused teammates.
But just as Kain felt the outcome of the match was decided, he suddenly got goosebumps.
This is a natural reaction of the body when facing a threat to life.
Kain's eyes widened, his pupils constricting.
Because in his line of sight, he saw Cecilia standing up, or rather, she was raising her body at a strange angle.
Her face, expressionless, Kain couldn't read anything from Cecilia's face right now.
This was not indifference, indifference was at least a state of emotion, And Kain could still recognize it.
But Kain could not perceive the emotions of a rock, because it was obvious that rocks had no emotions.
Now, he and Cecilia are similar.
