You have killed an enemy!

  DOUBLE KILL

  "I-I did it..." Nia said in disbelief. The big, scary lion man colpsed in front of her, sin by her own hand. I won. I actually did. Against somebody from the Leopards. Two of them, even!

  Of course, she uood that this euation was only possible thanks to Yuel's eborate scheme. By herself, Nia would have never been able to suggest, let alone e up, with a ploy like this. In fact, even after the whole thing succeeded somehow, it still felt scary.

  Much of this pn was based on the idea that Nia had a better entarily vanish from the enemy's radar in the heat of battle. Yuel cimed it oio wait for the eo "fet" about Nia because these bullies were hellbent on stalking her 24/7. Therefore, instead of waiting for a miracle, it was far more pragmatic to create a situation in which it would be easier for Nia to vanish.

  It was scary. Nia shuddered as she recalled all the madhat just went down in Mid. I thought Kai was a goner for a moment there, but...

  Yuel showed up in the nick of time and threw the euation into disarray. The enemy had no choice but to focus all their attention on the ued situation in front of them.

  And, what did they miss in the process? They fot about Nia's existence!

  To be fair, my dear twin sister also tricked them. Nia proudly puffed her chest. Though, that was also Yuel's idea...

  It was the mastermind of the operation who asked Nia to send her sister toward Bot. He specifically instructed her to do so near a spot where Nia suspected the enemy had a ward. The goal was to put on a ving show.

  And, all these distras actually worked. Nia looked at her hands in disbelief. I actually scored First Blood thanks to all that. Even Theorist fot about me for a moment there! It was amazing!

  It was hard to believe she was this happy about sg just two kills. She never felt this way in the previous scrim even though she got far more kills there.

  What was the difference? Was it the fact that she ying against the Leopards, the regional champions? Maybe overthrowing the champions just felt that much sweeter, she couldn't tell.

  But, I think I might be starting to uand a little what's so fun about pying on this stage. It's still scary, though.

  Before she could reach a clusion, the mastermind was already issuing his order.

  "Nia, good job. Now, return to Mid," Yuel instructed. "We're pushing the tower."

  "Eh? We are?" Nia tilted her head. Her fusion was only natural sidering the sorry state in which Yuel and Kai’s health bars were. Those two were like walking dead right now. Scary.

  "It's a 5v3 situation, so we don't have to worry about ued ganks," Yuel expined. "Only their Support rotate over here right now, and there’s doubt he will. But, there's only so much he achieve here alone against all three of us."

  "Ok." Nia was vihough, holy, even if Yuel didn't expin the reason, Nia would’ve probably gone along with it anyway.

  One does not simply uand how an alien robot thinks. That was her excuse to shut down her brain during moments like this and just do what she was told. Good soldiers follow orders.

  And so, the three of them reunited in Mid once again. However, this time, the situation was calm and peaceful.

  There was no chaos or any immediate threats this time. It was just the three of them and their minion army, going up against a bunch of enemy minions. Nothing here utting any pressure on them. It wasn't scary.

  WHISH! SLASH! The trio biheir attacks to wipe out the enemy army. , they headed toward the tower.

  As expected, the enemy ancer appeared in the distance. He was heading in their general dire, no doubt pnning to interfere with the push.

  But, it was futile.

  Aurret has beeroyed!

  The Mid Turret crumbled to dust. This was going to give Stratus immense leverage.

  “I gotta say,” Kai started. “This is some big ass achievement right here, we’ve practically won. Nia, you really pulled through with that gank.”

  “You too,” Nia said. “That situation with Winner was too scary. I don’t think I would’ve survived there in your pce.”

  “Yeah, it was a little rough,” Kai admitted. “But, we did it! Now, we start our terattack!”

  "No, that's all for now.” Yuel stopped the duetting carried away. "Let’s retreat. Nia, I suggest you go to Bot Jungle."

  "Ok."

  The criminals fled the se in opposite dires. Yuel and Kai retreated back along the o find a safe spot to recall, whereas Nia slipped into the jungle. She still had over 40% HP, so she could tinue jungling for a while longer.

  They had already established a major advantage by taking down the Mid Turret, but there was no reason to stop there. Therefore, to further capitalize on the current 5v3 situation, Yuel sent Nia to ter-jungle and steal as much farm as possible.

  By taking advantage of everything within their reach, Stratus was going to swing the entire game’s momentum in their favor!
