Chapter 17 - Unexpected ending

Referee 15: Wake up everyone! Come out!

After a few minutes everyone came out of their rooms.

Referee 15: As because this is the final day, I thought not to drag out time. The one minute starts already now!

Bandeer wants to start to rush to the discussion room with Joseph but Greg grabs Bandeer's wrist.

Bandeer: Hey! Let me go!

Greg: Let's leave Joseph out this time.

Bandeer: What are you saying?

Greg: I want to talk to you, and it's really important, for both of us!

Bandeer: Huh? Are you serious?

Joseph: What should I do, Ban'?

Bandeer: khm... Alright, I'm curious what you want this time.

Bandeer and Greg then took the one hour discussion time.

Bandeer: So, What do you want? Especially from me.

Greg: Yeah, I will just get to the topic.

1 hour later:

Referee 15: Everyone! Round number 19 starts now! Take your actions!

Greg: Elma!

Elma: Hu? Yes?

Bandeer: Joseph!

Joseph: Hm?

Greg: Attack Bandeer!

Bandeer: Attack Greg!

Elma: WHAT? But I will lose then! You said you will make sure that I will be at least second and gain a point!

Greg: Don't question it! Just, do it...

Elma: ts! Alright! Sure!

Greg: Prove it! Show it to everyone!

Elma: Hu??

Bandeer: Joseph, do the same!

Elma: Sorry Greg, this time, I have to deny...

Greg just shows his tablet, showing that he already used his actions, and he plays... ATK to ALL 3 directions

Greg: You sure? It doesn't matter, you will die this turn, then why not make a final one? and attack Bandeer... no. ATTACK ME!

Elma: WHAAAT?!

Greg: Though I think it doesn't matter right? I mean Joseph is already attacking me, right?

Bandeer: Yeah, he does.

Joseph: Yeah.

Greg: But still, just to go sure!

Elma: Am I the only one? Who doesn't understand?

Greg: You will understand pretty soon.

Referee 15: 10 seconds remaining!

Greg: Come on! Do something!

Elma: Alright alright!

Referee 15: TIME OVER! oh? huh, I see. Okay! We have the results, let's see!

19th round:

Bandeer: 0 HP (-3) - TIED 1ST - +2 points!

Elma : 0 HP (-1) - TIED 1ST - +2 points!

Greg : 0 HP (-4) - TIED 1ST - +2 points!

Joseph : 0 HP (-1) - TIED 1ST - +2 points!

Referee 15: The game is over! And based on how the game works, because everyone's HP hit 0 at the same turn, Everyone is placed 1st! Meaning everyone gaining 2 points from this game!

Points:

Bandeer: 3 points

Elma : 3 points

Greg : 3 points

Joseph : 3 points

Elma: WAIT! WHAT- WHAT IS THIS?

Greg: I told you to just trust me. I would never betray my teammates!

Elma: I- I can't believe you...

Bandeer: Looks like this probably not the last time we will play Greg! And next time I will be sure to beat you!

Greg: Hm. I can't wait to beat you again!

Very soon after, all games ended in every group and everyone was brought back to the grand hotel.

Greg & Adam meet and they talk about the game that just ended.

Greg explains everything about his game.

Adam: Sooo... In the last round switched devices with Bandeer in order to not betray the plan of making everyone first?

Greg: Yeah. That's why.

Adam: But... I don't understand something! With this, if you not involve Bandeer in this plan then you could have still won without him getting 2 points, and he wouldn't be that dangerous with less points than you!

Greg: Yeah, well, about that. I have my reason behind that too, but it doesn't really matter now.

Adam: What do you mean? What is the reason behind it?

Then referee 1 talking to all players

Referee 1: Everyone! Welcome everyone back to the grand hotel and congratulations for the winners and second places! Some of the games were really wonderful, I might just tell you which game has the highest views. It's... by far... Group 15's match! With the players Joseph no.9, Bandeer no.36, Elma no.52 and... Greg! number 89!

Adam: I'm pretty sure everyone knows you are pretty though

Greg: That's not a problem at all.

Referee 1: Now that it's done. I will reveal the amount of players that have 0, 1, 2 and 3 points. Starting with the lowest. 21 people still have no points. 34 have only 1 point. 28 having 2 points and there's a total of 17 people with 3 points! I congratulate them in particular. The next game will be announced in the next few days. But I have to warn everyone who still doesn't have any points! If after the next game you still have 0, you will have to go home and stop competing here. Well, have a good day everyone.

Adam: Luckily I'm safe so far then, but who knows for how long.

Then a player steps in front of Greg & Adam, it's number 2.

No.2: So you are Greg, right?

Greg is just sitting, then looks up at him.

Greg: Yeah, I am.

No.2: Pretty sure your friend already told you about me.

Greg: Yeah, he did, and I have to say, I have no idea how you did what you did, congratulations.

No.2: Do you want to know?

Greg: You would just tell me? This easily?

No.2: Why not, so?

Greg: Yeah, I'm curious.

No.2: I hacked the system.

Greg & Adam: What?!

Greg: You hacked the system?

No.2: With hacking I was able to see others actions before they even played it so I was able to counter them perfectly.

Greg: Isn't it against the rules?

No.2: Only violence is forbidden, there is no such rule that punish for hacking.

Greg: I see, it explains everything, do you have anything else to say?

No.2: No, not really, just wanted to see the player that they say performed the best.

Greg: Okay, then.

No.2: Then bye, but before I go, my name is Todor.
