Match 3: Lineup

Diana's explanation hit the team hard, causing their minds to whirl as they realized the stakes were much higher than they had previously thought. They came to understand that even a low-ranked academy could quickly rise to the top by launching a successful Castle Siege attack. 

Lucas let out a heavy sigh, feeling the pressure of the upcoming match. "Looks like that 10-point lead isn't much after all," he said.

Ayla nodded in agreement, her eyes narrowed in concentration. "We need to be strategic with our team selection. We already know we'll be targeted, so we have to choose carefully," she said.

All eyes turned to Ares, waiting for his decision on the matter. The tension was evident as he spoke.
