Chapter 770: Chapter 770 - Taming the Fifth Year - Everything Goes in Love and War - 7

"I need to change the order," Ren announced after studying Team Twelve’s composition with careful attention to details most people would miss.

Roran’s team was strong, very strong compared to typical fifth-year groupings. Four beasts at Silver 2 or higher rank, six at the boundary between high Bronze and low Silver.

And among the four high-rank beasts was Roran himself at Silver 3, a rank above most competitors.

"Ron, this time you’ll go fourth instead of first," Ren instructed while mentally calculating probability matrices. "Trevor, sixth position. Iris, third."

He reorganized the order based on what he anticipated Roran would do given his personality and strategic tendencies.

Because he knew Roran intimately from years of training together. Understood roughly how he thought strategically, how he approached problems. Knew that Roran would use his strongest beast, the Giant Troll Dog, near the beginning to break the opposing team’s momentum before it could build.

Not at the very start exactly. That would be too obvious and would waste the beast if the first opponents were fast enough to avoid damage while depleting its stamina.

But somewhere between second and fourth turn, that’s where Roran would maximize impact without being predictable. Probably putting a fast beast before himself to probe the fast opponents.

THE INITIAL BATTLES

The first battle was victory for Team Five through a matchup Ren had engineered to be close but manageable with proper execution.

His first fighter faced Team Twelve’s fighter with a wind element advantage, but being against a Silver 2 the battle morphed into an exchange that came down to endurance rather than explosive power.

After five minutes of grinding combat, team five’s beast emerged victorious through superior stamina management.

Score: 1-0

In the second battle, Roran sent another one of his Silver 2 members as Ren had predicted. A powerful fire beast that was aggressive in its attack patterns, clearly designed to counter fast moving wind opponents... Perfectly positioned to serve as a counter to the first wind beast of the 2 ones team five had.

Score: 1-1

Team Five’s first member, lost exactly as anticipated in the strategic plan. The fire beast overwhelmed it with both rank and elemental advantage.

But Ren had sent one of his water elementals second specifically because he’d known fire was highly probable here, Roran trying to hunt the wind beast that he most likely would deploy early.

The water beast extinguished the fire beast’s flames through overwhelming type advantage that couldn’t be overcome through superior rank alone. Water pressure attacks doused fire before it could build to dangerous temperatures, systematic dismantling of the opponent’s primary weapon.

Score: 2-1

Roran had countered by sending an earth element.

The battle was intense with few or non elemental advantages on either side, earth could absorb some water but water could erode earth through persistent pressure. Back and forth exchange where neither beast could establish decisive advantage through element alone.

It came down to individual skill and stamina management, factors harder to predict than simple type matchups.

After seven minutes of brutal exchange, Team Twelve’s earth beast emerged victorious through marginally better endurance, its tamer having conserved energy more efficiently during the crucial moments.

Score: 2-2
