Carl looked straight at the line of players standing in front of the forest. Those were the Astrix team in green and Bogarde in orange. They were waiting for the game to start.
"You can prepare for the position." The committee gave orders.
Like practice, they teleported or flew fast towards the planned position. Astrix took the west and Bogarde the east.
"Are you ready?" asked the committee when they were in position.
"Yes." All players responded.
"Then we'll start the game in five, four, three, two, one."
Somehow, Carl felt the silence once the game started. Even though he was with his friends, teachers, the opposing team, and the committee. But they were watching the screens in front of them seriously.
"That's tense. Right, Carl?" Thomas whispered next to him.
"Hm," Carl replied in a low mumble. He didn't want to break their concentration, so he let out the lowest possible voice.
"It will be tenser in the final round."
