Adopted Soldier

When Emily was done she gave back the mic to the host. The host who received the mic couldn't understand if he was suppose to be angry at Emily for heating up the audience, or if he should be grateful that Emily had made the audience calm down. In the end he simply decided to accept whatever is happening.

The next match was about to begin and it was between Alex's team, and a team who was famous around the area. After the two teams greeted each other, they went to their designated seats. The game had begun, and the gameplay was being projected in two big screens that was placed behind the players so they couldn't see. The crowd didn't know what Emily's in game name was, the only thing they know was her team's play will be projected on the screen on the left.

When the game started Alex and Emily didn't change their play style they quickly chose the usual sniper rifle. Like usual Emily was going in scope mode at the beginning. When her play was being highlighted everyone was amazed that she was moving without removing the scope. This showed that she had perfect understanding of the layout of the whole map.

The crowd at this point didn't know that this was Emily who was playing, so they were amazed and in awe but they weren't going fanatical like awhile ago. Yet after a few seconds when an enemy peaked and was caught in her scope, she fired which resulted in a headshot. Emily got first blood, and when she did so, she raised her in game rifle upwards, and raised her actual right arm in a clench fist indicating that was her.

When the crowd saw this, they went wild. They finally knew how good their Queen was. The other players were amazed that the cosplayer that they were mocking at the beginning turned out to be a Godly gamer.

"The eternal night has descended!" One of Emily's fans shouted, which resulted into a continuous cheer. The fans were having a blast, Emily then signaled them to stop. It was at this moment when most of the people were distracted by Emily's shenanigans, Alex had killed two more enemies.

When the replay for the kill was displayed, it was another amazing play. Alex didn't use the scope of the sniper rifle and simply shot twice without the crosshair, hitting the moving targets which resulted into headshots. So it was not just Emily who was God level player there was someone else in Emily's team that was as good as her. This excited the audience even more. The only people watching that knew who the other player was, were the Mercenary club, and the Gaming Club members.

The other players finally understood what the defeated players meant, when they said it was all headshots. These two players since the beginning had never made one mistake and their accuracy at this point was nearing a hundred percent.

Blair and Kim Suho who heard the screaming fans felt a bit conflicted. They wanted to win, but at the same time they wanted to show that they weren't just decorations either. They too were players, and it's not like they were bad players. Both of them were really good, and Blair was better than most of the players here.

Yet if you placed them beside Alex and Emily they just become normal players. They did try their hardest to contribute something, but before they can even shoot Alex or Emily had already killed all the enemies and that would be the end. They were winning, but at the same time they didn't feel like they were winning.

Niel on the other hand, didn't try to match up to the two. He knew from the start the difference in skill. So instead of forcing himself to kill an enemy he decided to devote all his attention to support. Since the beginning of the tournament Niel had been silently supporting both Alex and Emily.

He would throw a perfectly timed flash grenade. He would provide cover fire for Emily, and Alex when they needed it. He even knew where to place the smoke grenades to distract the enemies long enough for either Alex or Emily to kill them.

The audience were so bewildered by Alex and Emily's gameplay that they didn't notice the one supporting the two was no slouch either. The only one who noticed Niel's style of playing was the ace player of another team.

To that ace both Alex and Emily's aggressive one man play style was dangerous. But the one he considered the real threat was the one supporting the two Niel. If Niel was removed from the equation both Alex and Emily would have a significantly harder time to kill.

So once the support is gone, it would be easier to pick on Alex and Emily as a separate unit.

'This game isn't suppose to be played alone, I will show you how flawed your way of playing is. In the semi-finals I will beat the two of you.' The ace of this team was also a God level player. The more he watched Alex and Emily's way of playing the more angry he got.

To him this way of playing was a total sacrilege of how the game was truly meant to be played. There was a reason this was team based game.

...

The game ended with overwhelming victory for Alex's team, at this point Emily was still in a one point kill advantage.

The moment the audience saw that Emily's team won, they went berserk. "The enemies have embraced the eternal night!"

The crowd cheered for Emily, who responded with a twirl and an elegant curtsy. The crowd who saw Emily's actions felt their hearts beating faster. Then Emily smirked at the them, the audience who saw her smirking in such a cute way captured their hearts. Even the ladies couldn't help but be captivated at this point.

Emily's stage presence was undeniable, and she was on stage with Alex, and Niel who both looked cool and handsome.. Yet even with their looks they couldn't captivate the audience as much as Emily did.
