Kevin looked at the clock in the sky and saw that the time for this test was 15 minutes before he turned to his team members and said:
"So what's the plan?"
Alfred looked at Kevin in astonishment before saying
"A plan? Will you listen to us?"
Kevin smiled gently and said,
"I mean, sure, I can take control of it and guarantee the first place, but will you guys be ok with it?"
Alfred and Caitlin looked at each other before lowering their heads and answering at the same time in a low voice.
"I do not think so."
"See! So let's not act tense between us and focus on working as a real team! So who has a plan to discuss?"
Alfred raised his head, looked at Kevin, and said
"I have..." He looked at his two teammates for a moment before continuing, "So this is what I'm thinking..."
...
The remaining time before the second section of the third round ends is 7 minutes.
In front of the large building, Kevin was standing in front of the entrance. He looked towards the building behind him and saw Caitlin in her position with a simple slingshot in her hand. At the mention of that boy, Kevin smiled as he remembered his plan.
"First, Kevin must enter the building where the criminals are holding the hostage, act nervously when he meets the criminals, and try to buy as much time as possible." When Kevin entered and walked around a little, he found the hostage's place surrounded by about ten people. Kevin noticed that the criminals looked at him suspiciously, so he began to speak righteously about the fact that force should be used for good and that there is always another path other than the path of evil, and other flowery sentences that... Kevin is good at speaking it, and of course he did not forget to pretend that he was nervous while buying time.
Kevin's purpose was to play the role of bait and lure the enemy into losing his guard, and so it went. Moments later, the criminals showed a smug expression and mocked Kevin while displaying their superhuman strength. One of them tried to hit Kevin with a fireball, but the handsome young man barely dodged it as he continued his act in fear.
"When the criminals fall into the trap, then I will sneak in through the back window and rescue the hostage." While the criminals were apparently bullying Kevin, Alfred had climbed up until he reached the back window. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him. He walked lightly towards the hostage and began to untie her while whispering that someone was coming to save her. The hostage was not specific by gender but rather was just Variable digital data was used to test how the participants would deal with it, but Alfred seemed very skilled. He first tried to identify his blow in a gentle way, then looked for any injury to the hostage's body before he tried to untie her. Kevin was doing his job well, just like Alfred, who finally succeeded in untying the hostage 3 minutes before time ran out, but at the moment he got up, the criminals felt something was wrong and turned to look behind them, only to find that they had been deceived.
"Damn, how did this happen? What is the third member doing?"
The president was shouting into a receiver while his expression turned into a frown. The third member is someone who was supposed to stay outside the building and monitor the situation from the outside and contact the leader in case he saw anything strange, but here comes Alfred's plan.
"According to what I have studied, there is most likely a disguised person outside the building whose job is to report any error, so we need to remove him from the equation, but time is limited, so we cannot just search for him in the street among many people, so Caitlin will carry out the task of supporting us from behind, just Go up to the adjacent building and watch for anyone who may be carrying a communication device or acting strangely, especially if they are trying to remain hidden. There in the adjacent building, just find a way to throw stones." 9 minutes before the end of time, Caitlin noticed that there was a suspicious person who was carrying a receiver with him, so without hesitation, she directly shot him from afar and watched him lose consciousness. But this was not Caitlin's only job, because if the criminals discovered the trick, she would support him. Alfred from afar.
The moment the leader did not hear the third member's response, he just lit a fire in his hand and aimed it directly at Alfred, but he was attacked from behind him, causing him to miss the target. The leader grabbed his head and found it bleeding, then looked at the ground and saw a stone filled with blood near him.
"You fucking bastards!"
The leader was very angry and ordered his followers to arrest Alfred, but he was surprised to receive no response. When he turned around, he found that all his followers were lying on the ground, and above them there was a handsome young man with blond hair, green eyes, and a wide jaw, smiling in his direction.
"Aghghh, fuck all of you!"
At that moment, the leader enveloped himself in fire and fired fireballs randomly and with great force.
"Unfortunately, this is what anger does to you; it makes you a fool."
Kevin sighed as he dodged the attack, then looked at Alfred, who was in a bad position because he was physically weaker than him, and on top of that, he had someone else with him. Kevin also saw that there was an attack of stones that were heading towards the leader, but unfortunately, they melted before they reached the target.
Kevin smiled and hummed inwardly, "It's okay; you did your best."
After that sentence, Kevin moved quickly towards the leader, who was in a state of madness, and he dodged every fireball that was in his way until he reached the leader, who, when he felt Kevin approaching, threw a punch in his direction, but Kevin avoided his fist, lowered himself, and then kicked the leader directly in the side. The left one sent him flying, where he crashed into the wall and fell unconscious.
Taifin looked at the stunned Alfred and said excitedly:
"Come on, Commander, you only have one minute left to get out of here!"
"Oh, right!"
Kevin helped Alfred carry the hostage, and together they left the building moments before time ran out, and then the three members of the team heard a familiar voice in their ears.
Your team has succeeded in the mission:
Speed rating: E

"Great work, everyone!" Well, not really, because out of 334 teams and 1,002 participants, there were only nine teams that succeeded in this task. Well, to be fair, this was somewhat expected, but it is still shocking. I ask you all to make a greater effort. As for those who complete the mission, Most of you were rated average. Only one team received an A rating, which is the team of Arthur, Simon Baz, and Xhya Leoy!"
The ranking of the nine teams was:
Arthur's team ranked first with an A rating.
Kevin's team ranked second with a B rating.
The rest of the mattresses were rated C.
Unexpectedly, Arthur's team's evaluation was good, especially on the teamwork point. Who would have thought that Arthur and Xhya would work well together? But after everyone saw the exhausted expression on Simon's face and the annoyed expression on both Arthur and Xhya's faces, they realized that Simone was working like a god in mediating between these two savages.
Alfred and Caitlin were sad, but Kevin was actually very happy because he could gain a lot of benefits, such as the trust of Alfred and Caitlin and many spectators in the real world who watched their teamwork on the big screen. Another important thing is that he could learn more about the important people in this competition and have already begun to draw a picture of the ideal team in order to save this world from any danger in it.
The new ranking of points earned is:
First place: Arthur Baz, Simon Baz, and Xhya Leoy: +35 points
