"Oh? You want to compete for this Shelter Seed?" the leader of the other team, Christoph, asked with interest.
Usually, once the difference in strength between both sides became clear, the weaker team would give up.
Seeing Nash stand firm, Christoph realized he had encountered a tough opponent.
"How do you want to resolve this? Fight directly?" Nash asked, not wanting to waste time.
When two or three teams wanted the same Shelter Seed, they could propose a team battle, individual battle, or another type of challenge.
"Then let's have an individual battle, the best of five," Christoph decided.
Maximizing his team's advantage, a best-of-five individual battle was the most efficient choice.
"Alright…"
Turning toward his team, Nash asked who wanted to go first.
"Let me." Skylar stepped forward, eager to test his strength.
"You?"
Seeing Skylar volunteer, not only his teammates but even the opposing team looked surprised.
