BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80 A Change In Strategy
"Today is the guild competition's final day. The two teams competing in the final are All-STARS and Mineva," said the commentator.
"I'll tell you a little about them for the new viewers. Mineva is a new guild founded by Kajal Agastya, one of the most talented students in this batch. They will fight with their standard lineup of two tanks, two mages, and one swordsman. Many expert viewers will criticize this type of team because they believe it is unbalanced."
"I'll say for them that Mineva has already proven that this strategy works by reaching the final. Sakshi, Daksh, and Kajal will be their primary damage dealers."
"Their opponents will be All-STARS, a guild no one knew about before the competition began, led by another new student, Rishab. He wasn't well-known before the tournament, but I'm sure he'll be famous after today."
"His job class is Ranger, and he will play the role of both a sniper and an assassin. He'll be the most dangerous opponent Mineva has ever faced, and All-Stars has truly concealed Rishab's true capabilities."
"We also saw Dilip's strength yesterday when he easily defeated Vaibhav despite his opponent using a cursed spell to gain an overall Boost. He is the tournament's strongest competitor; we haven't seen him go all out very often, but when he did, he crushed all his opponents."
"The All-STARS team composition for this match is also unusual; they will have two spearmen, a knight, an archer, and Ranger. I believe they will approach this battle aggressively, They must have also noticed that Mineva relies heavily on its mages, and if they can take care of Mineva's mages, this battle will be in their favor."
The All-Stars and Mineva entered the battle arena individually, Rishi and Kajal came to the front for the Toss. Rishi decided he should no longer hide because he had already decided to be at the front.
"Kajal, today you are up against All-STARS, the most dominant guild in this competition," the commentator asked her. "Have you planned a strategy for today's battle?"
"We have come prepared for this match; I can't reveal our overall strategy, but I can assure you that we will give it our all and hopefully win," Kajal responded.
"Kajal, Rishab revealed in his last fight that he is also a lethal assassin. Has your team considered how to deal with him?" the commentator asked.
"He is the core component of our battle plan today," Kajal said after a glance at Rishi. "We've prepared a nice present for him; hopefully, he'll like it." she smiled after replying.
Many people were envious of Rishi, but he felt a chill all over his body as he asked, 'Have they already planned for me? I believe we will need to alter our strategy a little.' Before approaching Rishi, the commentator asked Kajal a few more questions.
"Rishab, I thought you were an introvert based on your behavior until now," he asked. "What motivated you to appear in front of the camera? Does it have anything to do with Kajal Agastya?" This question piqued everyone's interest, including Kajal, who looked at Rishi with a puzzled expression and a flush on her face.
"There's no doubt that Kajal is one of the most popular first-year students, but the real reason I decided to represent my guild today was that all of my teammates said this was the final, so as the guild leader, I should represent our Guild," Rishi responded.
"We saw in the previous match that you are also a good assassin capable of eliminating two or three members at once; who will be your top priority to eliminate today?" enquired the commentator.
"I am not an Assassin; many assassins will laugh at this statement; I am only someone who can ambush distracted opponents, and if my team requires me to eliminate someone, I will do my best."
"As for who will be my top priority, that will be Mineva MVP Sakshi," Rishi responded. Many assassins nodded in response to Rishi's answer; nowadays, anyone who ambushes an opponent is labeled an Assassin.
When Sakshi heard Rishi's response, she became enraged and said to herself, 'You just come close to me; I'll teach you a lesson you'll remember for the rest of your life.'
"How confident are you about today's match, Rishab?" the commentator inquired.
"I know it may appear arrogant to some, but we have come to win because we as a team believe that if we want people to remember our name for a long time and to create that impact, I am sorry all Mineva fans, but we will lift the cup today," Rishi replied confidently.
Kajal was also surprised but showed no reaction and appeared as confident as before. Following that, both representatives were called to the coin toss; after winning the toss, Kajal started the picker wheel while Rishi waited patiently before pressing the stop button.
"This battle will be fought on grassland ground," the referee declared.
"As you may have heard, today's battle will be fought on grassland, which means that both teams will have comparable advantages. This fight will be decided by which team is better," said the commentator. At the same time, the land transformed into grassland.
Both guilds took their positions, and Rishi explained a new strategy to all guild members before the fight. They questioned whether changing the strategy so close to the fight was vital. Rishi explained that their strategy is straightforward; everyone knows what they will do.
"I also believe Mineva has set up a trap for me so that if we stick to our main strategy, we will be easily countered and outplayed by Mineva," he said.
"The new strategy I've devised is completely different: first, Dev and Manu will fight Mineva's swordsmen, Jay and Vakar will do their usual job of distracting their mages, and now Dilip will charge at Mineva and try to reach their mages while their tank tries to stop him."
"I will provide Dilip with ranged support, and we will try to make them believe that Dilip is the main threat, then I will use my ability to become invisible, which will make Mineva believe that I am coming for their mages, but here's the twist: I will take out their swordsmen first, while Dilip uses his full strength, and Dev, Manu, and I will start attacking them from all sides to bypass their defenders and reach their mages," Rishi explained with a confident look.
"This plan sounds better, but what about you, Dilip? Will you be able to put pressure on four people on your own?" Dev wondered.
"This looks fun and challenging, and I was bored as I needed to hold back till now. Finally, I have the freedom to go all out; as for putting pressure, don't make me wait you all, or I'll eliminate them all by myself," Dilip stated confidently.
