Chapter 73: Final Round

The next day arrived very quickly.

"Unfortunately, a few teams will be eliminated. Every team that is ranked seven or below is eliminated. The new leaderboard is based on the first and second rounds of this tournament. These are the results." The man pointed at the new leaderboard.

<Leaderboard>

[2nd: Ver]

[3rd: Spades]

[5th: Strikers]

[6th: Miracles]

"For the third and last part of this tournament, each team will battle each other for the top three ranks. This will be a team battle. Each team leader will receive a flag. Whichever team steals the other team's flag first wins. Isn't that fun? That's just the first part. I'll explain the second part later." The man said happily.

"The people each team is going to battle are shown up here!" The man pointed at the screen.

<Battles>

[1st - Miracles V.S Strikers | Winner - ?]

[2nd - Snipers V.S Spades | Winner - ?]

[3rd - Ver V.S Dark Knights | Winner - ?]

'We're going last... Just you wait Dark Knights...' Rem tried her best to control her anger.

...

Two hours passed. These are the results.

<Battles>

[1st - Miracles V.S Strikers | Winner - Strikers]

[2nd - Snipers V.S Spades | Winner - Spades]

[3rd - Ver V.S Dark Knights | Winner - ?]

It was finally time for Ver and Dark Knights to fight each other.

"You know what to do. Stand in the circle!" The man smiled.

The two teams did what they were told and were teleported to a huge, tall mountain. The mountain wasn't snowy. When you look down, you will be able to see the forest, rivers, and lakes.

'It seems we can't move our flag... It's just stuck on the ground. So far, we are at the tallest part of this mountain. That means the other team's flag will be located on that very top of that mountain.' Rem looked at her team's flag then looked at the other mountain that was probably a few miles away from the mountain she was on currently.

The flag was red with the school's symbol on it.

"Yukino and Kaito. Stay here to protect the flag. Yukio, Karina, and I will go to that mountain over there and try to steal their flag." Rem stated.

The others nodded.

'002, create a map of this area.' Rem ordered.

[It's already done.]

A blue screen appeared in front of Rem.

'They're all at that mountain. Before we win this, I'll make sure to find out exactly who ordered that green-haired boy to poison my teammates..!' Rem activated her stealth.

"It's faster if we jump down. We'll be sneaking up on the other team to get that flag by using the trees in the forest. If we fly, they will easily spot us. Let's get going. Now jump!"Rem told Yukio and Karina.

Yukio jumped down as he was told.

"What???" Karina was confused.

Rem grabbed Karina and jumped down. Rem used her martial arts and shadow magic to get down the mountain.

When the three jumped down the mountain, Yukino and Kaito were shocked but they trusted Rem's abilities.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Karina screamed.

Rem, Karina, and Yukio ended up arriving at the bottom of the mountain without anyone getting harmed.

"W-What was that??!" Karina was shocked.

"Pretty fast, right?" Rem asked, tilting her head.

"You could have let me prepare myself for that... I almost got scared to death..!" Karina was on the verge of tears.

"Well, it was the fastest way down... Um... Sorry about that. Don't worry, I'll let you experience that more when we get back." Rem smiled.

"No thank you. I'm good..." Karina sighed in relief.

Yukio patted Karina's back.

"Thanks..." Karina blushed a bit and faced her head the other way in embarrassment.

'Why did I scream? That was so embarrassing...' Karina thought.

'Creating traps will take too long...' Rem thought for a while.

"Alright. We are going to steal their flag first." Rem ran towards the other mountain while Yukio and Karina followed Rem from behind.

Rem's running speed is extremely fast. She purposely slowed down a little so her teammates could keep up with her. Whenever Rem ran, she won't make any noises. This was how good Rem's stealth was.

'They're keeping up pretty well. Should I speed up a little more..?' Rem ran a little faster.

Yukio and Karina were still behind Rem.

"We're almost there." Rem announced.

The three had traveled three miles in just five minutes.

'They're finally making a move. Only one person is going to steal our flag..? They are underestimating Yukino and Kaito's abilities...' Rem thought, looking at the map as she continued to run.

After a few more minutes, Rem, Yukio, and Karina arrived at the other mountain.

"This time, we're going to jump up this mountain." Rem said.

"How..?" Karina asked.

Yukio tilted his head.

"Get ready because we're getting up there right now. You'll see." Rem used her shadow magic to hold Karina and Yukio in the air.

She then used her martial arts to get up the mountain. Getting up the mountain was easy for Rem since she could literally jump in the air from just her martial arts.

"Whoa..." Karina was amazed again.

'The other team must be near the bottom of the mountain. I don't see anyone who's near the flag... Maybe they are hiding..? Weird...' Rem put down Karina and Yukio.

"You two, stay here," Rem ordered.

Rem sneaked to the flag but just when she was about to take the other team's flag, she felt a presence behind her.

'They have someone who can become invisible in their team...' Rem thought, staying still.

She could feel a knife near her throat. Rem dislocated the invisible person's arm and quickly grabbed the flag. The other team's flag was blue. Their flag also had the school symbol on it.

"There's an invisible person here! Be careful." Rem warned.

"We'll take care of that invisible person!" Karina volunteered, getting ready to fight.

Yukio stood behind Karina, also ready to fight.

Rem nodded and jumped off the mountain. She could feel two people following her. Without looking back, Rem kept on running towards the mountain her team's flag was on.

'I just have to bring this flag to our mountain then we win... Before that, I'll fight the two people who are following me but I'll have to lure them to the middle of the forest. I can't let them get close to our flag or help their invisible teammate.' Rem kept on running.

Somehow, the two people who have been following her could keep up with Rem's running speed. After arriving in the middle of the forest, Rem stopped running. She was still holding the other team's flag.

"We finally caught up to you!" A girl pointed her sword at Rem.

'Who is she again..? The weapon she's holding looks like a katana...' Rem stared at the katana.

"What are you looking at?" The girl's eyes furrowed.

"Your sword. Where did you get it from?" Rem asked.

"That's none of your business! You better give that flag back!" The girl yelled.

"I'll be borrowing that flag for just a few hours. Don't worry, I'll give it back later." Rem replied.

"No way! Give it back now or else I'll have to get it back by using force!" The girl argued.

"We shouldn't argue with them any longer. That's just a waste of time. Just get the flag back by using force..!" The other girl holding a staff said.

"Yeah, you're right. I don't want to waste any more time on you!" The girl pulled out her katana and dashed towards Rem.

'Hm... She's fast.' Rem stepped to the side and jumped on a tree branch.

Rem inspected both of the girl's stats quickly.

<Inspect Status>

[Name: Ava]

[Job: Samurai]

[Race: Human]

[Level: 42]

[HP: 36,000/36,000]

[MP: 40,000/40,000]

[Element: Water]

'Samurai..? They exist in this world?' Rem glanced at the other girl's stats.

<Inspect Status>

[Name: Celine]

[Race: Human]

[Level: 40]

[HP: 25,000/25,000]

[MP: 57,000/57,000]

[Element: Light]

'Just thinking about the light element makes me think about that man who calls himself the god of light... Anyways, this girl must be a healer.' Rem thought.

Ava suddenly appeared in front of Rem.

'She became faster..!' Rem dodged the attack in time.

"Stop running away!!!" Ava yelled, trying to land a hit on Rem.

'002, do you know who in Dark Knights hurt the twins?' Rem asked.

{I cannot tell who did or didn't do it.}

'Would hacking work?' Rem wondered.

{With your skills, you might find out.}

'Alright then, I'll bring this flag back to the base. First, I'll have to knock these two out, or else they would become a nuisance...' Rem used her martial arts and in a few seconds, she was behind the girl with the staff.

Rem was about to hit the girl in the neck to knock her out but the girl activated a shield just in time to block Rem's attack.

'Her shield could block my attack..?' Rem was amazed.

Noticing what was going on, Ava activated her most powerful skill. In a blink of an eye, Ava slashed Rem in just one slash of her katana. Her katana had water surrounding it so the attack was extremely powerful. Due to Celine's support, Ava's speed was faster than her usual self. Ava thought she slashed Rem's right arm off but when she looked at Rem, Rem only had a scratch on her right arm.

'Ah... She managed to hurt me..! Impressive.' While Ava was in shock, Rem broke Celine's shield by combining her shadow magic and martial arts.

Rem knocked Celine out.

"What..? How???" Ava was confused because nobody has ever blocked her ultimate attack before.

Rem appeared behind Ava and with a smack in the back of Ava's neck, Ava was instantly knocked out. After knocking out both girls, Rem ran towards her team's mountain. Rem glanced at her watch.

'There's half an hour left...' Rem was almost at the mountain.

Suddenly, Rem sensed a sharp object aimed at her.

Rem dodged the object and observed her surroundings then looked at the map.

'Nobody is near... Someone's coming this way..!' Rem became extra alerted.

She could sense someone going towards her.

"Where do you think you're going with our flag?"
