Thanks to the efforts of Caspians company , Evelina had become a somewhat famous influencer and streamer . Young , sweet talking , and playing the innocent card had won her fans in the streaming world . Lemira glanced at the fans banners . Once , she had been a die hard SkyBlaze supporter , actively sharing team news and managing fan groups . With an expressionless face , Lemira entered the venue with her ticket . Sitting down while gazing at those seats on stage , she found herself lost in thought . In her past life , she had been on that stage , leading her team to a hard fought victory in the match . The competition was fierce . The team was considered powerful with steady skills . Unlike Alaric , who , despite his skills , often lost his cool , disrupting the games flow , and was too proud to take advice . Soon , the competing teams took to the stage , their fans screaming in support , trying to outdo each other in volume .

How are we supposed to compete now ? * Alaric , our team is strong , and weve trained together . Well coordinate and wont lose , Evelina reassured him patiently , despite his harsh tone . For Evelina , standing by Alarics side , especially now , would only make him appreciate her more , potentially replacing Lemira as his sister in his eyes . Frustrated as he was , Alaric had no choice but to proceed . Suddenly , he thought of Lemira , uttering unwittingly , Eve , imagine if Lemira were here to compete with us . Would things be better ? Evelinas smile froze , irritation bubbling within her . Why did he mention that girl again ? Was her dedication over these days to training and competing in spite of lying to the school to get days off not enough to overshadow Lemira , who hadnt lifted a finger ? Out of the corner of her eye , Evelina spotted a familiar figure in the audience . Alaric , Lemmys here to watch us compete .
