Go ahead and try to beat me. I promise you, it won’t be that easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he chose his three soldiers, and they were all Warriors with the exact same skill—Hard Slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strategy was called \"Newbie Setup\", and it was never used in any kind of tournament because it was really easy to counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also limited a lot of his strategy options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was called \"Newbie Setup\" exactly because the new players always started learning with only one soldier and class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using different types of soldiers and skills was difficult for the first-timers, so it was much easier to just choose the simplest class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Three Warriors?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna looked genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that her brother wasn’t stupid, and he never did something so foolish without a good reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He is using the complete Newbie Setup. I thought that maybe he chose the Clone Rush skill for each Warrior to make it very confusing for me, but no, I think he chose Hard Slash for all of them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was using Read on him, and thus, she was able to find out everything about his strategy with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This strategy is only good for frontal assault. I don’t mind defeating you with skill, since with Read, I can also predict your soldiers’ moves.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna thought with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then chose three Assassins, and for them, she gave the highly offensive skill—the Speed Daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was another type of Newbie Setup, but newcomers rarely played Assassin because it was quite difficult to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In a fight, Assassins have an advantage over Warriors, and I also chose very speedy skills, so his slow Warriors won’t have a chance.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then pressed Ready, and so did her brother, and the short countdown of one minute started immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectators were getting comfortable in their chairs. It was finally time. In one minute, the finals would start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, don’t be mad if you lose, my dearest brother. Since I will be your guild master, I’ll let you use these Learning Balls anyway. I want you stronger, after all~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[00:00]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countdown soon reached zero, and the battlefield hologram appeared over the table, and their soldiers spawned right in front of their towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The match has begun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana’s booming voice echoed throughout the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Go!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon ordered his soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They started running away from their tower and entered the village, and Anna just smiled and gave an order for her Assassins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Assassins were going straight towards his Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He is really planning to just attack my Assassins. I am trying to read what her true intentions are, but it is quite difficult.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that her brother planned to attack immediately. But she didn’t think that was everything her brother planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she really believed that her brother was an extremely intelligent individual, and he wouldn’t use such a simple plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be something else going on, but he was not trying to reveal it too easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You are trying to hide your real intention, but my dearest brother, I can still find it. I’ll pry deeper into your mind!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna’s eyes opened wider, and she tried to break into his mind—to the deepest corner of his conscience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I... Can’t.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon’s eyes twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to keep his true intentions a secret, but Anna was really deep inside his mind, and he unwillingly thought about his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying not to think about it at all, but she was forcing his mind to think about it—a terrifying power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her Read is much stronger than Remu. She can even force me to reveal my deepest secrets and fears!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought with a dark look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna still looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I couldn’t find everything, but he is planning to reveal something to me, which he believes will make me lose control of myself, and therefore, I wouldn’t be able to use Read anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hah, what could it possibly be?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, their soldiers met in a clash of swords and daggers, and Anna focused her attention on the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She again did a \"Read\" on Fang Raon’s soldiers and, with the help of that, dodged all the attacks thrown by the Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Assassins used their speed to their advantage and immediately drew the first blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like they have decided on a battle of skill, and it immediately looks like Anna has a clear advantage over Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She had clearly chosen better soldiers for this fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clash of Newbie Setups, but Anna has a clear advantage. She must have a stronger Read than her opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A player of the Professional League said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Does that Raon guy even have Read? It doesn’t look like that to me. I think the outcome of the fight is pretty clear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen Raon use Read even once. Meanwhile, his opponent is constantly using it. I am surprised he made it this far without Read.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This fight is already over. There is no way that those Warriors have a chance at victory, especially against Read user.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fight, the Assassins had already cut all of the Warriors’ health by half, and they hadn’t been able to make a scratch on the Assassins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectators were surprised that it was so one-sided. It was the finals. They thought it would be a battle of ultimate strategy and as close as it could get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very disappointing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t defeat her when she is using Read. I could’ve used again the randomized technique, but she showed that she could’ve still found out what soldiers I had chosen.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly going just as he predicted from the moment they entered the tournament hall—even before the match started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Anna came to him outside, he knew that something was up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said that she wasn’t going to use Read and was going to fight him fairly. He knew immediately that it was a lie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came forward with the bet proposal, he knew that she was going to use Read to ensure her victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly going just like he predicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the first time that he had been playing these games with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Sorry, sister, but I don’t want to join your guild. I don’t want to lose to you. I want to win.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, he opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna immediately plugged her ears with a smile on her face as she refused to listen to anything that he was trying to tell her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you have something up your sleeve, and I won’t let you use that against me. I know you’re brilliant, and whatever plan you have in mind... I won’t fall for it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon just crossed his arms and lifted his eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just looked straight at her, and she looked frustrated, but eventually, she removed her fingers from her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just far too curious about what he was going to say, and he knew that she couldn’t resist finding out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am dating Chaewon now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words pierced through Anna’s heart, and she looked at him with a trembling gaze, but she then started laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you’re lying, brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Read me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her laugh froze, and she looked at him and used Read on him, and slowly, her face paled into a ghostly shade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-t-t-that can’t... be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna slumped over, and her eyes seemed unfocused, and she looked like she was completely out of it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Attack!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon gave the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Warriors leaped into action and started attacking the Assassins, who weren’t moving in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassins had less health than Warrior, and under the onslaught, they quickly fell one by one, and soon all of them perished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Assassin has been killed!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Assassin has been killed!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Assassin has been killed!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Winner—Fang Raon!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Unbelievable, somehow Raon has emerged as victorious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana shouted in complete surprise, and the spectators were equally shocked, as just a few seconds away, it looked like Anna would crush him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd started cheering. The fireworks went off. It became really loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna was just staring at the floor, not paying any attention to it all, and she then finally lifted her head to look at her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I hate you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t feel good, does it? You have made me feel like shit for years, so now you are going to feel it too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said coldly, and then he put his hand forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Learning Balls, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna stood up and turned around to walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the deal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon stood up with a shocked look on his face, and she stopped walking, and she then looked over her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not going to give you anything, shitty brother! Go fuck yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE~ The skies turned angry, and at that moment, a brilliant bolt of lightning stabbed through the ceiling, illuminating the room in a blinding white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Rumbling God is angry... She went against the deal!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana exclaimed in shock, and she hid behind the chairs, and the crowd also screamed and tried to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna looked up towards the bolt of lightning, and she just flipped it off with a middle finger raised in defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM~ The lightning bolt slammed down, engulfing her in a sea of electricity and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the lightning finally dissipated, there was nothing left of Anna.
