Chapter 27 A Female Player +10 Free Cons Walking into the room , Azalea realized that Sam was talking about Petal just now . Things were playing out differently from her previous life . Back then , Petal did not join GOD but moved to Anexis after the competition . This time , he had unexpectedly gone straight to Anexis and even secured a spot in the starting lineup . It was unclear whether the executives at Anexis or Bastian had lost their minds with these decisions . No matter the outcome of their matches , criticism seems unavoidable . Azalea smirked quietly to herself . The collapse of Anexis was inevitable . In her previous life , if it had not been for her extensive efforts to support Bastian in competitions and streamline the leadership , Anexis would have folded during their series of losses . Originally , Anexis was not even called that . Five years ago , when Bastian was still active as the captain , the team began to falter . As the star player struggled , investors nearly pulled out . Bastian managed to borrow money from his family and used his prize winnings to buy the team , renaming it Anexis She vividly recalled the year she returned to the Larks , which coincided with Bastian competing in the world championship finals . Holding the trophy , he told her , " Azalea , Anexis is inspired by your name . I hoped that if one day I managed to elevate the team , you would return when you saw the team name and my ID . " Back then , Bastian simply used ' Aza ' as his ID . For the sake of that name , she had exhausted herself day and night , contributing to her ultimate total organ failure . It was ironic that what she once treasured had become so tarnished . As she put on her headphones , the screen switched to the ban - pick phase . Azalea smirked , echoing Lachlan , " He's right , the other team is going to submit to us ! " The competition was set as a BO7 series , but due to time constraints , both teams agreed to a BO3 format for the practice match . This meant the best of three games , with a full ban - pick system where heroes once used could not be reused . " In this best - of - three training match , the opposing team will definitely want to test our strength . Compared to Anexis, GOD's team is newer with less competitive experience , and our coordination might not be as tight . Anexis has likely developed specific strategies to counter our strengths . " Irene's voice carried a serious tone , and her analysis was spot on As the ban - pick phase concluded , Irene's predictions proved accurate . It was her first time participating in such an official setting , and while she was nervous , her confidence in her analytical skills grew . GOD gained a noticeable advantage in the first game due to Irene's sharp predictions . When the match started , Irene's focus was on Azalea , and she was taken aback when she recognized Azalea's ID as the celebrated mid - laner Phoenix . 111 1/2 45 % Chapter 27 A Female Player * 10 Free Coiga " Your job this game , Phoenix , is to keep their marksman in check and not let him get any momentum , " Irene instructed , finalizing the strategy before the players took over the field . For this match , Azalea played the assassin mage , Papillon , while Wylie was assigned a tanky assassin , a role less effective against enemy marksmen , placing the burden of controlling the enemy's marksman on Azalea . Meanwhile , in the Anexis training room … " The GOD coach really did his homework on us , " the top laner noted . " So what ? We just need to keep improving , " the jungler retorted , downplaying the coach's impact . Their attention then turned to the new mid - laner . " Who is this Phoenix ? I've never heard of them before , " the jungler yelled out . Petal , with a stern look , eyed the ID on the game screen . " It's a girl , and she's got some skills . " The jungler scoffed at the notion , " Has Ceberus really sunk this low ? Using a girl in the lineup ? Watch me make this Phoenix shed her feathers . " Anexis's approach was clear and straightforward , bolstered by Bastian's financial backing . This ensured top - notch resources and facilities , making the primary criterion for team membership sheer performance . The path to securing a position on this team was clear - cut : demonstrate exceptional skill . Anexis was notorious for its ruthless roster decisions , often replacing even stellar players from one season with rookies in the next if it meant keeping their competitive edge sharp . This resulted in a fiercely competitive atmosphere where each player was merely a replaceable piece in the quest for victory . This strategy brought both strengths and weaknesses . It ensured that the team always operated at peak performance but at the cost of team cohesion and collective strategy , focusing instead on individual prowess . Consequently , established players tended to look down on new recruits , especially if the newcomer was a woman . The match began with both teams engaging in early - game skirmishes , though no significant advantages were gained . Anexis ' marksman , supported by their support player , soon pivoted to focus on the mid - laner . Recognizing the shift , Petal braced for an imminent clash with Azalea . With determination etched on his face and his focus locked onto the screen , he viewed this encounter as his moment to prove himself , particularly against Azalea's impressively controlled female hero . ||| 2/2 ABUBNO , Chapter 28 She Is Staying Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
