”The round five matches ended quickly. We started tonight at ten pm and ended at one am. The next round will start at two am. So you guys can take a break for a while.” Aika announced. We decided to log out of the game and of course, do our necessities.

I woke up and I felt hunger so I decided to have a snack. I went to the fridge and found Mari and Azzie in the kitchen. They were also taking a break and having some cookies...
”Hey, you girls are up. I've watched your match and it was awesome.” I hope I didn't cross some line.
”Yeah bro, I didn't really expect something like that. Though it's for the guild and it's all part of the plan.” They seemed to be focused on the plan... The purpose of the tournament is to have fun right?
”It's necessary but the fight was really fun. I hope we could do that again sometime.” Azzie replied. Wew... That's good to hear. I really thought at first they will have a tough time.
”Ok now. I'll grab something and you guys take your time. Have fun later.” I bid my farewells. I poured some milk on a glass and add some chocolate. A glass of chocolate milk is good for bedtime I guess but it's really late.
Elou might get depressed this time. He said he will do his best but his opponent was too strong for him. Even I have doubts if I can win my next match but I don't have a choice but to do my best to win.

I decided to go back to the game. I entered the game as usual. Lili and Akko are already waiting in our area. They seemed to be ok now.
”The night here in the game is really beautiful. Right?” I asked trying to lighten up the mood.
”Yeah. I hope Elou could join us.” Akko replied. For God's sake... I'm trying to avoid the sad part.
”He will later. Just remember that we've been playing the game just more than a month right? And we reached this far that no one could achieve that fast.” Trying to lessen the bad atmosphere the last matches left.
”Yeah, and it's all because of you. That training though...” She said. Yup that training was hell. I know.
”Trying to beat the Crystal Dragon and retreating when we are almost dead? I think that wasn't that bad.” That's right. Our training was fighting the world boss and retreat before we get wiped out. We might not have been able to kill it but the boosts on our masteries were really great. Fighting a strong monster can easily upgrade someone's masteries really fast. That's why we managed to level up our masteries so fast and managed to reach this far. Of course, we also spent a lot of time doing that before the tournament started and I guess the training was worth it.
*Sigh* Lili just sighed because she doesn't agree about my last comment. Well at least they can rest now but I'm still going to fight and get more stressed than them.
”See? Even Lilli doesn't agree with you.” Akko said. Jeez just let me go for one second.
”Yeah, yeah. Anyway, it seems that the next round will be starting soon.” I said while checking out if the event starts now.
