Eagleman Royal Family's Eva Hurst also remained silent. Under other circumstances, she would have offered at least a few barbed remarks. But now that the match had reached this point, she bore some responsibility as well, so naturally, she said nothing more.
"Since things have come to this, focus on how to win the tiebreaker."
Eva Hurst raised her head and met Julia's gaze. Her expression remained blank, but the light in her eyes had grown increasingly sharp.
There was no competitor in War Totem Academy stronger than herself.
So she had no choice but to take the field for the final deciding match.
But Elven Spell Academy was different.
Nono Artemis had just demonstrated Magic Guidance techniques no less skilled than Julia's, merely falling slightly short in deck strength.
But a duel was not merely a comparison of decks. With the absolute control Nono Artemis had displayed, it was not impossible for her to defeat a stronger opponent with a weaker deck.
In other words, the possibility that Elven Spell Academy would send her out again was not zero.
Eva Hurst had to consider whether she would be facing Julia next—or Nono.
Different opponents required different deck builds. She had to win this match.
Otherwise, the fact that she had lost two matches in a row and squandered such a favorable position would make her time studying at Saint Marian Academy extremely embarrassing.
Even having earned the favor of the "Hero Soul" would not be enough to offset that negative impact.
Moreover, receiving the favor of the "Hero Soul" would naturally invite envy. The "Hero Soul" did not remain fixed forever once it had chosen someone; it could likewise leave if its chosen one performed poorly.
She had to proceed with utmost caution.
Julia Amelia had the same concerns.
