"What?" Ashe groaned. A couple of the committee members had bailed, they might have suffered some kind of injury. "But we just used up most of our energy for the Valor skill. How can we fight in this state?"
Antony shrugged, "Then we are all at the same level now. After all, an MVP is decided on how they react at their lowest point. This is the perfect opportunity, don't you think?" He was eyeing Jake. The other boy only stared back at him with contempt.
Ashe looked back at Jake and Mae who had run out of words at this proposition. Mae assessed the situation for a while and whispered in Ashe's ear. "On one side, Antony is right, we are all at our lowest points so this is the time when their skills and our skills are at the closest. But on the other side, they are wealthier than me and Jake and can continuously do anything to level up their inventory."
"Are you saying—" Ashe turned to Mae, "—that we'll lose because we are poor?"
