"Good thing I only have to participate in two games..."

I scrolled through my phone. This was the tournament log that I had received hours ago. In it were the details of the game that I would be participating in.

Dummy massacre, and battle royale.

Just two games.

Whilst I did select Dummy massacre out of my own volition, for the battle royale, that was all done by Donna.

'Since you guys are the strongest first years, I chose for you to participate as a team. The battle royale gives us the most points, and since we need to secure first place in that game, I had to put you guys together to bring our chances up'

Was what she said.

There was some truth to her words, however, I wasn't sure whether this team composition would work since synergy and teamwork were important.

Though I could work well with Kevin, the same couldn't be said for Jin.

He wasn't the type to listen.

'That aside...'

The reason why I chose dummy massacre was because I was confident in getting a high score in that game.

At the very least top ten.

Though there was a chance for me to get first place, there were a lot of tough competitors. I wasn't conceited enough to say that I was guaranteed first place.

—TWIIING! —TWIIING!

Suddenly I received a notification.

[Your friend Kevin Voss is turning 17 today, wish him a happy birthday]

"Oh, right"

Almost forgot.

Today was Kevin's birthday.

[Congratulations, you're now one day closer to your death]

Opening my chat log with Kevin, I sent him a quick birthday wish before closing my phone and going back to training.

Because the tournament was right around the corner, none of us had time to celebrate birthdays or anything of the sort.

Just a quick message was enough.

—Have you chosen your teammates for the battle royale?

An authoritative voice echoed from the speakers of Aaron's phone.

"Yes, I have"

—That's good, are you confident in your chances?

"Mhm, there should be no problems instructor"

Aaron confidently said as he genuinely believed in his chances of victory.

He had everything planned out. From the games he was participating in, to the battle royale. Aaron had a detailed plan for everything.

He wasn't going to lose.

—I see, that's great. I hope that the next time you contact me, it will be news about your victory.

"It will be. Don't worry"
