It was unclear if the top-ranked team in the underground arena had caught wind of the trio's strategy, but they had been fervently accumulating points over the past few days, significantly widening the gap.
Ayoi and Alex, unwilling to be outshone, joined forces with Yuka, sweeping through the map with unstoppable force, moving from one match to the next without missing a beat.
The third-ranked team, caught up in their pace, also ramped up their efforts, leading to a steep climb in the points for the top three teams.
The other competitors, consistently bested by these three teams, quietly bowed out of the contest, choosing not to get into troubled waters.
Many, including Roukujou and his fans, were eager to see "Lady" and her team "Yeah, Whatever" face off against the top-ranked team, "Swordsmen", to decide the ultimate winner. However, over the next few days, the two teams never encountered each other.
