Summoning the Holy Sword

Although he had no idea of his competition, he guessed that they were also in groups of three. In that case, if he didn’t have enough people on his side, it might be difficult for him to achieve the final victory. And now, he was faced with this problem within his team. As for Little Five, needless to say, her strength wasn’t all that excellent judging from the fact that Eleanor thrashed and buried her under the wreckage. Meanwhile, Catherine was a damned pacifist. Not only that, but as soon as the competition started, his team also faced the threat of splitting up…

Sigh, why am I so unlucky to have them as my teammates?

But he knew that complaining was meaningless now. More importantly, perhaps this was purely a competition to the rest. But for him, this wasn’t only a competition but was also a battle with the other personalities. Hence, there was absolutely no way for him to gain victory by eliminating them. In other words, he would not only have to be victorious but also had to gain recognition from each of the personalities. That would require him to not only defeat them, but also turn them into friends…

But the problem was that, if he looked at the situation according to Karin’s rules, there could only be four victors. It was conceivable that even if he were so powerful that he took in all the 12 personalities, it also wouldn’t be possible for him to…

Hmmm?

At this thought, Rhode was taken aback. Soon after, he seemed to connect the dots.

12 mental crystals… Up to four victors… Could it mean…

At that moment, Catherine’s voice sounded in his ears, disrupting his deep thoughts.

“Mr. Rhode, she…”

As soon as he heard her voice, he lifted his head and what caught his eyes was Catherine’s face, which looked as if she had made a huge mistake and was reflecting on it. And after seeing her expression, he shrugged and spread his arms apart.

“No matter what, let’s catch up with her first, Catherine. Forget about the competition for now. I think the city is a bit more dangerous now and isn’t as peaceful as before. I’m worried about what might happen to that little one, but all in all, let’s head over to her first.”

“Okay.”

Upon hearing Rhode’s words, Catherine seemed somewhat embarrassed. But in the end, she nodded and followed him.
