Cynthia's move had completely wrecked Kerry Academy.
Their team had relied on loopholes and cheap tricks. The Top 16 was as far as they deserved to go.
They were lucky they hadn't run into Magic City Academy sooner. Otherwise, Cynthia could have sent them home even earlier.
A song for Kerry Academy: Jay Chou's "Far Away"!
"Battle over! Magic City Academy wins!"
Once Garchomp defeated the last Crobat, the referee promptly announced the result.
Kerry Academy's tactics really had been underhanded. The referees had been sick of watching them for a long time.
They had children of their own. What if one day their kids worked hard for ages to prepare, only to meet some slippery opponent who stole the chance they had fought so hard to earn?
Who could put up with that?
The referees weren't alone. People online had long since had enough of Kerry Academy's behavior, too.
Those people had gone well beyond shameless.
When Cynthia eliminated Kerry Academy, cheers erupted across the internet. People were one step away from making "Cynthia Eliminates Trash Academy" a trending topic.
"Nicely done!"
As soon as Cynthia left the field, Xu Mu went over to praise her.
Cynthia proudly lifted her chin. "Well, who do you think I am? Of course I did!"
Xu Mu was struck speechless by her all over again.
The Cynthia from the anime would never have made such a adorably smug face.
But this Cynthia was far too precious!
Like a doting father, Xu Mu took out his phone and captured that beautiful, smug moment.
Click!
At the sound of the shutter, Cynthia froze.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
She covered her face in embarrassment, pushed down the hand holding his phone, and buried herself in his arms.
Her little face was bright red.
