A couple days after winning their first match, constant bickering started happening on the team.
“I told you we should’ve gone left! You left us to gather the ultimate orb?”
“He’s just standing there! You couldn’t kill him?”
It was Rei and Seto! These two bickered about their strategy differences, Seto wanted everyone to get a very decent build with damaging abilities because it would be more beneficial against the teams they’re facing. Rei wanted a very professional style of builds because the team shouldn’t be playing like low-ranking players.
“There is a difference, we’re not playing professionals.” Seto said,
“And we’re not playing low tier teams! Do you even take anything seriously?” Rei asked, clearly irritated with Seto.
“Enough,” Tanaka said while standing up and walking over to the two of them. “If you can’t agree on what style to run, you should spar with each other to determine who is the captain.”
“Spar?” Hirota asked, “You want them to go one-on-one with each other to decide who’s the captain? Isn’t that supposed to be your job?” Hirota mocked,
“Both styles are decent and we’re capable of doing either, if they can't agree to disagree then the loser has to let the captain play the game.” Tanaka explained,
“Doesn’t matter, I’m better than both of them.” Hirota said. He was still on the bench, it was his ego talking.
“I’m okay with that.” Seto said while already setting up a 1v1 lobby.
Rei nodded and accepted Seto’s invite, both loaded into the game.
Rei was using a dark magic build while Seto was using lightning.
“Ready?” Tanaka asked, both players nodded and then a horn blew inside the game. Rei dashed towards Seto.
Seto blocked incoming attacks with his glaive, he chuckled. “Is that all you got?” This only made Rei even more infuriated, her hand turned into a black mist and Seto dashed backwards to keep his distance.
“Are you scared?” Rei mocked.
“Never,” Seto smirked. Rei stabbed the ground with her glaive and a large hand grabbed Seto’s character, Rei dashed to him and did some damage before the hand let go. Seto sighed, he briefly checked his health and started getting a little nervous.
Rei pointed her glaive at Seto and a blast of dark haze flew towards Seto, he dashed and knocked Rei off of her feet. He kicks her into the air and teleports above her, he slams his glaive down slamming her into the ground.
“How boring,” Akatsuki observed, he sighed and put a straw in his juice box. “When can we practice as a team?”
“Hush, let them solve their problem.” Tanaka commented. Seto and Reis' fight lasted for about thirty-minutes, neither of them had died. The team was getting bored.
Rei cloned herself, multiple shadows surrounded Seto. Seto swung his glaive eliminating all in one swift strike but Rei was gone. Seto focused on the sound effects in the game, he heard a foot step and immediately looked there. Rei launched at him, Seto struck her once with the glaive and she recuperated. She deconstructed her glaive into chains.
“Uh oh!” Hirota mocked, “Watch out! She might end the fight!” He teased Seto.
“She has ‘Crimson Chains’?” Yuki thought to herself. Crimson Chains were a very high skill ceiling ability, not even pro players were using them.
Rei whipped a chain at Seto, he tried to block it with his glaive. The chain wrapped around his glaive.
“Oh, that sucks.” Hirota chimed.
Rei pulled the chain, snatching Seto towards her. She kicked Seto, and then kicked him again. She was able to unlock a beautiful combination of her kicks, on the last one she sent him into the air. She whipped her chain towards Seto, it wrapped around his leg. She slammed her chain causing Seto to strike into the ground draining all of his health.
“Finally! Can we play the game now?” Hirota pleaded.
“Well, rules are rules. Rei remains the captain.” Tanaka said, obviously ignoring Hirota.
“Good game.” Seto sulked, he stood up and shook hands with Rei.
“I guess I’m just the better player!” Rei said while shaking hands and smiling.
Dragon Fire Esports House, Japan.
A knock at the door occurred.
“Mark!” Oishi whined. He waited but there was no response.
“Mark! Someone’s at the door!” he cried out. No one answered him. “Is everyone asleep?” He asked himself, he stood up from his computer and walked into the living room. He saw Mark and a young adult with dark green eyes and almost purely white hair.
“Who’s this?” Oishi asked while looking at the young adult trying to jog his memory.
“Jae Adachi, owner of the Ocelotus account.” Mark explained.
“Ocelotus?? Are you coming to our team?” Oishi asked clearly happy to see the rookie of the year.
“Go to your room,” Mark dismissed Oishi. Oishi frowned and began walking to his room, before entering he stopped at the door frame.
“Can we order food tonight?” Oishi asked dejectedly. Mark gave him a stern glare, Oishi sighed and walked into his room, shutting the door.
“So, what did you want to talk about?” Jae said.
Mark’s expression turned vacant, was this rookie that egocentric? How could he talk to a respected coach like that? “Do you have any respect left?” Mark asked.
“I’m not trying to waste my time, do you know how many conversations I’ve had just like this in the past week.” Jae said while giving Mark a serious glare.
“You’re leaving Team Exodus after the all-star weekend, correct?” Mark asked. Because Mark was respected as a manager/coach, he often knew when players were going to leave their teams or when players were going to get traded.
“Nothing is official yet,” Jae said while still glaring at Mark. His eyes became wider and the bags under his eyes became more apparent. “Besides, I wouldn’t join your team anyways.” Jae said. Mark has been trying to recruit Jae since Dragon Fire ventured into Spellcasters. Mark always threatens to get Jae suspended or released from his current team, but those were always empty threats, until now.
Mark slammed his hands on the table and looked at Jae.
“I have video proof of you competing in the underground.” Mark said while staring Jae back down.
“Me? In the underground? As if I’d play with those losers.” Jae explained. Mark opened his laptop and showed the livestream from the scrimmage. In the background you could see Jae’s face clearly. In the professional rulebook, any players found in the underground would get their contract terminated.
