The wheel battle was the final stage of this tournant which would take place after two weeks, in which only the top ten teams would be qualified to battle.
If a team in top ten happened to have mbers which were eliminated during the two week survival round, then they wouldn't get to participate in the wheel battle.
In the wheel battle, the ten teams would fight in a classic double elimination tournant model of one team versus another team, which ant that a team would be eliminated from the tournant if they lost twice.
In the battle between teams, it would be one person from one team versus one person from the opposite team rather than a group battle.
They had to decide the order beforehand and submit it to the referee before the match.
If a person won, they could decide to stay in the arena and continue to fight the next person from the opposite team.
If the person was strong enough, they could even eliminate the entire team by themselves in this way.
However, if the person decided to give up despite winning the round, and left the arena, then they won't be able to return to the arena later.
The second years were not allowed in this wheel battle. Their role was only limited till the two week survival round.
As he heard Irene's request to make a deal, Eryndor thought back to his reason for eliminating the mbers of Team Yu and Team Bronit.
Teams which had a lower number of mbers could send their mbers out on the arena more than once.
For example, if a team with six mbers were fighting a team with eight mbers, there was a difference of two mbers, then the team with six mbers would get two extra chances to send their mbers in the arena.
That is, they could send one mber two more tis, or two mbers one more ti after losing a battle.
But wouldn't that be unfair then?
If a team had lesser mbers compared to their opponent, they could simply send their strongest mber for those extra chances.
This is where another rule ca in.
A team was divided into 'weaker' and 'stronger' parts equally, biased towards the 'stronger' part if they had an odd number of mbers.
Which ant, if a team had six mbers, they would be divided into three weaker, and three stronger mbers. If they had seven mbers, with priority to the stronger part, they would have three weaker and four stronger mbers.
Now, if the team decided to let one of the mbers from the stronger part take the extra chance, they would have to take it imdiately.
As in, after losing their battle, they won't be able to exit the arena, heal, and then co back for the extra chance. No, they won't be given a chance to heal.
If the team decides to let one of the weaker mbers take the extra chance, they can take it anyti during the wheel battle after losing their battle.
There was no condition that they would have to utilize the chance imdiately.
If a team with lower number of mbers were facing a team with higher number of mbers, the forr team would have to make the decision about which mber would take the extra chance beforehand and submit it to the referee alongside their battle lineup.
Through these rules, the playing ground between teams with less mbers and teams with more mbers was leveled up.
Now ca the point why Eryndor eliminated mbers of Team Yu and Team Bronit.
Since their mbers were eliminated during the survival round, those specific mbers won't be able to participate in the wheel battle even if their respective teams managed to qualify.
The thing was, if Team Yu and Team Bronit indeed managed to qualify for wheel battle, despite having six mbers, they would still be treated with their original mber count, as if they had eight and seven mbers respectively.
This was his main reason to eliminate those mbers.
Irene put forward her request.
"If and if our team manages to qualify, I want your team to not injure my team too heavily.
"I'll pay for that."
In the double elimination tournant, there wasn't much break between different matches, except the finals and semi finals, which would get a longer period of break.
Since there would be minimal amount of ti between matches, if a team happened to have injured mbers, they would have to fight the next battle with those injured mbers.
This would increase the probability of their loss by too much.
Each team would only be given a fixed amount of healing pills at the start of the tournant, with the teams with less mbers getting more healing pills.
Students couldn't use external items throughout the tournant except their weapons.
Of course, people with abilities like Ricky were again an exception here.
Yes, his ability was strong, what could you do about it?
The real world was unfair, the Academy couldn't level out each and every playing field, not to ntion this had nothing to do with the Academy if the student itself had a useful ability.
Eryndor tilted his head while looking at Irene. Before he could reply though, she continued.
"Of course, if you agree at all to these kinds of deals, which I think you'll do because of the kind of the person you are, I have another request."
Eryndor didn't take offense to what she said. It was the truth after all. He wasn't averse to playing dirty. Irene continued.
"I want you to injure my opponents badly. I'll pay you much more for that."
Eryndor tilted his head back, looking at the dark sky as he laughed. After a few seconds, when he was done, he matched gaze with Irene who had a smile on her face.
"Interesting. What kind of paynt are we talking about?"
Irene kept her smile as she responded.
"I'll only pay you if my team manages to qualify. Don't worry, the paynt will definitely satisfy you. Just answer , do you agree?"
Eryndor matched her smile.
"I agree."
