Even though the betting was just for fun.
The maximum bet was only 100 Crystal Cores, just to let everyone have a little fun.
But Chelsea Walsh was still a bit disheartened.
Basically, ninety percent of the bets were on Tyson Hughes of the Superpower User Alliance.
"That’s to be expected. The Superpower User Alliance’s performance in the preliminary rounds was indeed impressive."
Daniel Hale said.
Especially Tyson Hughes. Every time he fought, he won his match in under a minute.
"At least ten percent still chose our team, Stella. That’s not bad."
Wendy Marshall and Yvonne Willow even asked where to go, planning to place some bets themselves.
Of course, they were definitely betting on Stella.
Hearing this, Alaric Fletcher and the others all followed suit.
Nina Jacobs didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The matches that day were spectacular. When the referee announced the six winning teams, cheers erupted from several spots in the venue.
"Let’s save tonight’s celebration for tomorrow. Any objections?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
"No objections, Captain!"
Wayne Abbott and the others were already beaming with joy.
Even the usually stone-faced Kyle Keaton was swept up in the mood.
When they learned Nina Jacobs would be in the finals the next day, Shirley Lucas and Ian Chandler came over to cheer her on in advance.
"Nina should be back any minute. Please, have a seat."
Just a moment after Vera Coleman finished speaking, Nina Jacobs returned with Wayne Warner in tow.
"Nina, the brackets for tomorrow’s matches have been set. Did you know?"
Ian Chandler asked.
He had come specifically to tell Nina Jacobs, worried she might have missed the news.
Stella’s opponent was the Superpower User Alliance.
This was also the base’s intention.
"Yeah, I know."
Nina Jacobs had just come back from seeing Myra Lawson, and before that, she had already received a message from Adrian Shaw.
Besides the bracket information, the competition would use a 1v1 match format.
In other words, each team only needed one person. She alone would represent all of Stella.
"I bet on you to win today. The bet is placed, so don’t let me down."
Seeing that Nina Jacobs wasn’t the least bit nervous, Shirley Lucas felt a little more at ease.
"Do you know when the people from City A are planning to leave?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
Trevor, next door, had already woken up.
Although his Superpower was a bit unstable from absorbing too many Crystal Cores, at least his life was saved.
Worried about their tribe, Lana and the others wanted to head back soon.
However, the journey would be incredibly difficult with just the few of them.
In other words, they wanted to seek help from the City D Base.
But so far, Nina Jacobs hadn’t revealed their situation to anyone.
"Probably within three days after the tournament ends. They have to go to other bases next."
Shirley Lucas answered.
Nina Jacobs nodded. The finals were tomorrow, which meant Lana and the others would only have to wait about four days. They should be able to hold out that long.
「On the day of the finals.」
When the people from City A got the match information, Wystan Sullivan cried out in shock:
"How is that possible? She’s a Dual Element?!"
"What Dual Element?"
Ansel Warner, who had been talking with Justin Lawson, looked over at the list upon hearing this.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Justin Lawson just smiled.
"Apologies, everyone. We only found out about this last night ourselves."
It turned out that besides her Fire Element Superpower, Nina Jacobs also had an Earth Element Superpower.
The news had kept them excited all night long.
It was a wonderful surprise!
"Then why didn’t she say anything before?"
Wystan Sullivan asked.
"The kid is introverted and doesn’t like to show off,"
Justin Lawson replied.
’Introverted?’
The men exchanged glances. ’Since when could the word "introverted" be used like that?’
"Mr. Sullivan, this is a good thing," Landon Hayes said.
’This way, even if I beat Nina Jacobs, no one will be able to say I just got lucky...’
