Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 618

The third game began.

Shadow Titans remained aggressive, slightly tweaking their strategy and increasing their tempo.

For the first five minutes, Neverfall Navigators seemed to follow their previous, failing patterns.

The match was a tense struggle, and the audience watched with bated breath.

“Neverfall Navigators really isn't in shape. I think they’re going to lose.”

“So what if it’s their home turf? So what if they used to be champions? They can’t even make it to the finals.”

“I paid a scalper triple the price for this ticket, and this is the garbage I get to watch?”

“With this match, Neverfall Navigators has completely squandered the legacy Demon built. I can't bear to see the result.”

“I’m thinking of leaving early…”

The crowd murmured amongst themselves as the two teams on stage reached a critical point. In just eight minutes, Shadow Titans had pushed deep into Neverfall Navigators' territory. It looked like the end was near.

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over,” Hattie whimpered, covering her eyes with her hands. “They’re about to lose.”

“I know, right?” the other students sighed. “Why would they use a strategy like this? It’s practically inviting the enemy to attack.”

With one powerful strike, Player Three’s health plummeted.

“Oh, my… I wonder what Demon would think if he saw the team he built from scratch being beaten by a lower-ranked opponent.”

“If Demon were here, this match would’ve been over long ago.”

Seizing the opportunity, Neverfall Navigators initiated another team fight. After a bloody exchange, they finally claimed victory in the third game.

“Woooah!” The arena erupted with excited screams and cheers, the atmosphere instantly electric.

The members of Shadow Titans looked grim. They never imagined Neverfall Navigators could turn the tables. They had assumed they would crush the former top-ranked team and make a name for themselves. Who knew they could pull victory from the jaws of defeat?

It was true what they said: an old lion is still a lion. Even without Demon at the helm, Neverfall Navigators was still a force to be reckoned with.

The Shadow Titans huddled together, concluding they had lost because they had gotten cocky and underestimated their opponent. They still had a chance in the next game.

With this victory, Neverfall Navigators' confidence surged.

“That girl’s really something, huh?” Player One said, gulping down water. “If we had more time, I’d want her to give us a few more lessons.”
