"The first round is won by Italy Team," Sheira announced out loud after Diego's verdict, so everyone could hear.
As one would expect, some sang the National Anthem while some cheered to the top of their lungs.
The same euphoria could be felt from Italy Team. When Agata and the others returned to the waiting room, they all shouted cheerfully.
"Yeay!"
"We did it!"
"Thanks to Ignazio's plan, we won!"
However, Ignazio couldn't share the same sentiment. His face was dead serious despite Agata's cheerful expression. He simply felt threatened when he watched the entire battle.
Enrica noticed his expression and called his name. "Ignazio?"
"…" Ignazio shook his head helplessly and sighed. "We're in trouble. To think they are this good…"
The cheers stopped as Alys asked, "What do you mean? Wasn't your plan working?"
"Of course, but it's only working because of the difference in our strategy."
