"But wait a minute... If we survive eight, then who are the other two? didn't that voice say the ten participants?" said Mikaila then who then made the look of the other face change instantly.

When they were busy thinking about who the other two participants were, the sound of footsteps began to be heard which then spontaneously made the others immediately turn to the source of the sound.

From a direction not far from their position, there were two participants, one female with tomboyish stature and one other young man whose face was familiar to the memory of Mikaila, Ebra and Allen, who else if not Andi the figure of the young man who was seen in the pitingan Mikaila last night.

The faces of the three of them looked strange, making the others then look with a curious look when they saw Allen, Ebra and Mikaila quietly stared at the two participants who were seen stepping their feet closer to them.

Welcome to the ten participants, soon you will enter the preliminary round. Please find a partner and enter the circle that is already available there.

Right after the exclamation was heard, a rumbling sound from below appeared to be heard in the hearing senses of the remaining ten participants. One by one the circles appear out of the ground and stop when the number of circles reaches 5 circles.

Allen and Mikaila who saw this, then looked at each other. There was little doubt in Allen when he saw five circles coiled on the ground, meaning each circle contained only two participants. No one knew what would happen next, making Allen not too sure to step into the circle.

Andi and his partner were seen immediately stepping into the circle without much talking or negotiating with Allen's group, while the others were still silent and looked at what the circle meant. Mikaila who saw Allen just fell silent then took Allen's hand to invite him into the circle, before the available deadline ran out. It's just that Allen's hand suddenly tried to release Mikaila's hand, making Mikaila become confused about Allen's attitude to him.

"We'd better split up, find a partner and get in the circle" Allen told Mikaila.

Hearing Allen do that certainly made Mikaila surprised, this was the first time Allen released his hand to Mikaila. This of course makes Mikaila misunderstood because Allen did not explain his intentions and goals at all except that he said. Amidst the confusion that engulfed Mikaila at this time, it was seen Allen had already stepped foot first and entered into the circle alone.

"Al what are you doing? did not.." said Mikaila was about to chase Allen but from behind him Linda seemed to step her foot past Mikaila while saying something.

"Had it been, we should just follow Allen's words maybe this is the best. Let me be with him, you find your partner." Linda said as she walked towards Allen and into the circle.

Mikaila who heard Linda's words increasingly felt strange as if something was pinching her heart. One by one his friends began to enter the circle Arhan with Rama, Ebra with Emeli, while Mikaila was still silent in place without moving at all.

Fatur, who saw Mikaila standing still, began to step closer to Mikaila and pat Mikaila slowly on the shoulder, which immediately scattered Mikaila's daydream about Allen's strange behavior.

A sigh could be heard blowing from Mikaila's mouth, making Fatur only able to look at her with an unbearable look. Although Mikaila did not explain it Fatur clearly knows what is happening now, let alone considering since the martial club in the form of Linda has put her heart to Allen, all of that was even a public secret only unfortunately either Allen who did not know it or indeed Allen who pura did not know. Perhaps that was what made Linda finally advance next to Allen when she saw that there was an opportunity before her eyes at this moment.

"Alright let's get into that circle" said Mikaila in the end who then replied Fatur with a nod of the head.

With slow and heavy footsteps, Fatur and Mikaila then stepped into the circle and waited for further instructions, that can be sure it will sound right after the last participant enters the designated area.

The name of the game this time defending or exiting, all participants can do anything to drop the opponent and make it out of the specified line. The player who gets rid of his opponent is the winner.

Hearing the voice, everyone immediately fell silent for a moment. No one expected that the pair they chose would be their own opponents. Allen who heard the voice just now could only close his eyes slowly then looked towards Linda, what he feared was true brnar became reality. In fact, Allen was already suspicious of the intent of the five circles clearly drawn on the ground. That's what underlies Allen not to choose his partner, all Allen does is step his foot into the circle without inviting anyone to enter with him is no exception Mikaila.

In the face of Linda's face with a gaze that looked for quite a long time until then Allen sighed long, making Linda become misbehavior and all will be wrong to look at Allen to him.

"You certainly understand the meaning of that voice, don't you? I will not ask you to give up, if you really want to win this game, do as you like I will not fight at all" Allen said in a soft tone.

Allen really resigned to whatever decision taken by Linda, for him to push Linda to get out of the circle line is very easy, it's just... can Allen bear the injury of seeing his own friend fall into the pit of death just because of his own selfishness? of course Allen wasn't that bad. If indeed today Linda decided to save herself, then Allen would not fight back at all and let Linda do so.

While Linda who heard Allen's words just now was made all wrong. This was certainly a difficult decision for Linda, considering Allen had his own place in her heart.

"I'm..."
