Chapter 50: I Finally Caught You!
---
Coalition Forces in Panic
The third-echelon coalition teams had initially believed:
"No. 1 Middle School will hunt down every team before Phase 3 begins."
This meant wasting time on revenge against No. 16 Middle School was becoming riskier.
And the longer they stayed out in the open,
The higher the chance of being eliminated by No. 1 Middle School instead.
---
Doubts Begin to Rise
Slowly, more teams began reconsidering:
"Should we retreat first?"
"Chasing Sixteenth Middle School is getting too dangerous."
"No. 1 Middle School could appear at any moment."
"If we get eliminated now, No. 16 will laugh at us!"
One team made the decision first:
"Forget it. I'm going into hiding."
Another followed:
"Same here. See you later!"
---
No. 1 Middle School Approaches
Just as the coalition forces were about to scatter,
Someone pointed in the distance—
And shouted in horror:
"IT'S NO. 1 MIDDLE SCHOOL!"
"RUN! NO. 1 IS COMING!"
---
Chaos Erupts
"Shit, they got here already?!"
"I didn't even find a hiding spot yet!"
"We're all gathered in one place—this is a death trap!"
"Did No. 16 Middle School set us up?!"
---
A Sinister Theory
Someone suddenly shouted:
"WAIT! What if No. 16 Middle School is working with No. 1 Middle School?!"
The room froze.
"Think about it!"
"They pissed us off on purpose."
"They forced us to gather here…"
"…so No. 1 Middle School could wipe us all out in one go!"
---
Desperate Realization
"SHIT! No. 16 has our locations from the war declarations!"
"No matter where we run, No. 1 Middle School can track us!"
"WE'RE SCREWED!"
One team leader suggested fighting back:
"We should unite and resist No. 1!"
But another shot him down immediately:
"Who's taking the lead?"
Silence.
No one wanted to be the first to die.
---
Panic-Driven Escape
"Screw this—I'M RUNNING!"
"Fighting alongside you was an honor—GOODBYE!"
And just like that,
The coalition forces started falling apart.
---
Something Felt… Off.
But then—
One sharp-eyed player noticed something strange.
"Wait… something's wrong."
"LOOK at how No. 1 Middle School is moving!"
"They're not charging… they're RUNNING!"
Another voice objected:
"Don't be ridiculous! Who could be chasing No. 1 Middle School?!"
---
The Unthinkable Becomes Reality
Then, as No. 1 Middle School drew closer,
The truth became clear.
---
There really WAS a team chasing them.
And No. 1 Middle School…
Was running away.
---
A Shocking Sight
"Holy shit… they're actually ESCAPING?!"
"They're using the Holy Priest's teleport to flee!"
"The Ranger keeps spamming slow arrows to delay their pursuers!"
"Who the hell is CHASING THEM?!"
---
The Nightmare Becomes Real
As the mysterious team got closer,
Everyone finally saw who it was.
And their jaws dropped.
---
"NO. 8 MIDDLE SCHOOL?!"
"YOU'RE TELLING ME A LIFE-PROFESSION TEAM IS CHASING NO. 1?!"
"HOW?!"
---
Misunderstanding the Situation
One team came up with a theory:
"No. 1 must be weak from fighting No. 2 and No. 13!"
Another agreed:
"That's gotta be it. No. 8 Middle School would NEVER be able to fight them head-on."
"They're just taking advantage of a weakened No. 1 Middle School!"
A leader's eyes gleamed:
"THEN THIS IS OUR CHANCE!"
"If we help ELIMINATE No. 1 Middle School…"
"WE'LL BE THE ONES WHO BECOME LEGENDS!"
---
Just One Problem…
Just as the coalition prepared to attack,
Something even crazier happened.
---
Xu Yan Took the Lead
Using his equipment's special ability,
He flashed 50 meters ahead of the No. 8 Middle School team.
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
He stomped the ground.
"FINALLY CAUGHT YOU!"
---
Tree World Activated
A massive green light circle spread out—
COVERING No. 1 Middle School's Ranger.
The Ranger froze in place.
Vines shot out, entangling his legs.
His expression twisted in horror.
---
"SHIT! I'M STUCK!"

To Be Continued…
