Chapter 386: Pre-Match Training

At the hotel, Lysander's esports club was undergoing pre-match training. Everyone wore the same expression, as if they were owed millions. "Can't you see the team fight?"

"You two keep feeding them kills, shut up! Why are you charging in without proper development?"

"Everyone, calm down. The match is in two days. Can we focus?"

The last speaker was Edward Sullivan, the team captain and the nice guy of the group. He hadn't seen Tina since the last club meeting. "Shut up!" The other three turned their anger towards Edward Sullivan.

Although Edward Sullivan was the captain, he had less authority than the youngest member, Lysander. He became captain merely because he was the oldest.

He sighed; recent losses had plummeted team morale. Orson's provocations only made things worse. He thought it was fortunate that Lysander wasn't there; otherwise, a fight would have broken out. Listening to the arguments inside, Lysander couldn't stay cheerful either. Such disputes happened often. They had gone from seven consecutive wins to seven consecutive losses; no one could accept that. When Lysander was around, things were better; at least they didn't argue. But in his absence, tempers flared.

Tina frowned. She had seen this team united in their quest for the championship. Now, it was truly disheartening. "Tina..." Lysander lowered his head, unable to look Tina in the eye.

With a bang, Tina kicked open the door.

Everyone sitting in their chairs jumped in shock. Leon, who had a bad temper, threw his headphones onto the table.

"Damn it, Orson! Are you done... Holy crap, Tina!"

The others quickly gathered around. The moment they saw it was Tina, their anger vanished.

"Tina, I thought you weren't coming."

"Great! With Tina back, we have hope!"

"With Tina and Lysander, we can definitely regain our honor!"
