During the five minutes break, Kairo and the other army officers also had their discussion. They successfully eliminated Deo, but with Vanadin also out in the running, they barely maintained their advantage, with two wins and two draws.
Their wins would not be counted as a group because this was the Solo Competition. But if they did not play their cards well, Ganza and Osman would be the only ones moving to the Finals with an advantage of one win each.
Initially, they plan to have each one eliminate a Conclave member. Kairo would be forced to use 50% of his real strength to deal with Styx, but he was confident of winning against him. In any case, if they succeeded, they would all gain a win. Then Vanadin would resign to let the rest of them move up to the finals.
Alas, they miscalculated Disciple Tyr's strength. Though Vanadin getting eliminated was not a huge blow, the real problem was letting the former gain a win.
