The next day, it might be their fate or something, but when Theo regrouped with his teammates, he soon found his match.
Unfortunately for his group or even Alea, Theo couldn't find Alea's code in their match.
D55, E2, F1 and F3 in B-025 and B-026 Versus B1, B30, C2 and G1 in B-006 and B-007.
Theo and the others remained silent when they found this pairing.
"This… What do you think, Theo?" Ellen asked without a change of expression.
"I am not sure. Alea told me there are many groups trying to aim for her and they must be among them." Theo narrowed his eyes. "And to accommodate Alea, they will have the same members like us: One third-grade, two second-grade, and one first-grade students."
"Hmm… Two second-grade students?"
"Yeah. None of the first-year students are qualified to challenge the authority of other years… I have learned it myself. And I'm afraid this will be the hardest fight we will ever experience…" Theo contemplated for a moment.
"Let's enter the room first. We need to check who they are… Though, I already have some guesses." Phyrill shrugged and pulled them to the room.
While they were walking to their room, Ellen couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Who are they?"
"Student Council." Phyrill smirked and squinted his eyes. Killing intent was leaking from his eyes.
"…" Ellen turned serious for the first time, saying, "Now it seems we will indeed face some problems. The Student Council is known for its strength… That's why Alea is chosen to be the student council president."
"You are not chosen?" Theo asked with an innocent face.
"Yeah. The Vice President is a powerful magician… If I'm not wrong, his affinity is Wind. Well, you can say our match-up has a similar level of strength to each of us, so you are our trump card, Theo." Ellen smiled.
"I understand." Theo nodded and started coming up with the plan.
After entering their room, Sihan opened the battle videos of their opponents. And as expected, their enemies were the Student Council.
The strongest among them was none other than the Vice President of the Student Council, Jay Mao. A cool-looking black-haired intelligent guy. He was the person Ellen mentioned. His application of wind magic was very peculiar and was different from Ellen.
"Just be careful, this guy can use Force Control too," Ellen added while watching his movement.
"I understand." Theo then looked into the second person.
It was their Treasurer, a second-year student called Kong Sovan. He was a muscular guy with one big sword in his hand. On top of that, the guy appeared very agile in his movement, making him an impenetrable fighter. No wonder he was chosen as a Student Council Member.
"This guy is a Magic Warrior. I will protect or call you from time to time, but he is a terrible opponent of mine, so I'm not sure if I can stop all his skills. So watch your back," said Sihan with an indifferent look as if all the praises seemed to be a normal assessment that he could overcome easily.
However, Theo didn't look back and continued to the third person. The person was another second-grade student, their secretary, Iv Rith.
"Hmm… It's interesting." A smile appeared on Phyrill's face as his voice echoed in the room. They all looked at Phyrill with a question in their eyes.
Phyrill waved his hand and said, "This guy seems to be an Enchanter. But… If you take a look at his weapon, which is a Sword imbued by Magic Stone to boost his skill, you will find this person as a force to be reckoned with. May I request to fight this guy?."
Theo widened his eyes and stared at Phyrill.
"Of course, if you say otherwise, I won't do it." Phyrill shrugged nonchalantly.
"Well, I also want to fight with the vice president to see who is superior among us." Ellen agreed with Phyrill's comment.
Meanwhile, Sihan didn't say anything since he wasn't a person who talked much to begin with.
"To be honest, in one glance, I would like to pair Phyrill with this Enchanter Iv Rith. Not only could he increase his teammate's strength with his skills, but he can also strengthen himself while fighting Phyrill one on one." Theo nodded. "That's why I will be leaving him to you in the first engagement."
"Yesh!" Phyrill gave a thumbs up as he was satisfied with the arrangement.
"Meanwhile, Sihan will mark this big guy." Theo pointed at the Treasurer, wanting him to stop the guy like how he stopped Alea.
"Unlike Alea Eilric, this guy has enough Magic Power to do one big move after another, so I want you to be careful." Sihan shrugged.
Theo then turned to Ellen. "You can fight against the Vice President. Just don't forget to wreak havoc in our battlefield as support."
"No worry!" She winked her eyes sweetly.
"As for me…" Theo stared at the last person that managed to widen all their eyes. Yes, the last person in his enemy group was Theo's old enemy.
"Fate," Phyrill commented before laughing. "This is hilarious."
"I don't know what to say anymore. You can do whatever you want…" Ellen shook her head helplessly.
Theo only shrugged and pointed his finger at his enemy, who wielded a sword almost taller than him. Yes, this sword was unique in the school, and only one person possessed it. He was none other than Laust Lange, the person he beat two months ago.
"I will handle him. It's easier since he may be obsessed with me." Theo let out a long sigh before closing his eyes. "As for the plan…"
While Theo formulated a plan, Phyrill and Ellen talked about their opponents for a few minutes before Theo suddenly said while opening his eyes. He seemed to have thought of a plan. "I have seen enough."
"It seems our course has been decided." Phyrill smiled while glancing at Theo. "Please instruct us without holding back."
Theo nodded his head as if telling him he never had the intention to hold back before placing his hand on the table. "I don't have any problem with the pairing, but my plan requires some complex movement. There's no guarantee it will succeed too."
"No need to hold back. If any of us fail to fulfill our role, blame everything on us after the match. For now, tell us the plan." Sihan spoke with a cool and strict tone.
Phyrill still joked around and made a pistol gesture on both hands, pointing at Sihan with a smile. "You took the word of my mouth."
