CHAPTER 109

  While the two teams (Driz and Cobra) were waiting in separate halls for the others on the field to finish, the members took time to acquaint themselves. Team Cobra's captain only said his name and retreated to a corner.

  "Hey, captain." the chubby Stephen from earlier was in this team. He and many others had witnessed Phoenix's might back at the registration site. Knowing he's their captain made him feel reassured.

  "Don't call me that. I'm pretty sure there's someone who wants this armband." he was about to take it off but another member stopped him.

  "Captain, you can't do that. You are already recognized as Team Cobra's captain."

  "But I don't want this thing. Forget it." Phoenix sighed.

  "Hey you, can you not be so childish? You were lucky to get the armband. You shouldn't shirk your responsibilities."

  "Shirk?" Phoenix asked with a raised eyebrow.

  "No one here wants your armband." the annoyed warrior sat back in his seat.
