Chapter 109

Zenovia

The next battles felt like a breeze. Our first victory motivated our team a lot and even after breaking into smaller teams, team A won against Team B’s opponents most of the time.

After a few more rounds, when it began to be obvious that Team B’s opponents were losing, the spectators began to boo and lose interest in the match.

Seeing their loss of interest, Matteo decided to switch things a bit.

He blew the whistle to gain our attention.

“OK, now team A and team B fight amongst themselves instead of each other. It would be between five people from each team that remain standing at the semi finals and then the last one on one match.”

He announced and immediately a few visitors began whispering excitedly. Matteo had just turned the game upside down.

Now, I had to fight against the very team members I had started to bond with. I stared at them warily and they, too, looked at each other warily.

Just like that, our team bond was now strained. My gaze flitted to the other team, and it looked like they were not having it much easy either.

Little sparks of fight had already begun showing as one boy shoved the other mercilessly and the referee had to intervene to signal that they could fight each other when he announced it.

I looked at my team and replied, “Don’t worry. We are not going to hurt each other, are we? We will just try to throw each other down to the ground. No harsh movements or anything.”

I said and held my hand in front of them with my palm open.

A few looked at me doubtfully but one girl smiled and placed her hand on mine. Soon, more followed suit and then we all cheered and got into position as we waited for the referee’s signal.

Now we were just eight on either team and it didn’t take us long to end up with five. Two of our team members gave in pretty easily because one had injured his ankle while the other girl had sprained her foot.

So both were not confident of tackling the other team B that was fighting each other viciously.

It was funny to watch them. The other team was practically pulling at each other’s hair and clothes and kicking and shoving to push each other down.

Meanwhile, our team just was playful and did not lunge at each other’s throats for victory. We had a team spirit and even those who were asked to leave the arena after being disqualified had a smile on their faces.
