De-escalating the Situation
"You, shut up!"
"!!!" Ivan's body shook as if he didn't expect that he would be the one reprimanded. It was clear that Clovis was the one scheming the whole thing, so why would no one believe him?
Eliot pinched the bridge of his nose. It didn't really matter if Clovis was tricking him or not. Ivan was simply an ignorant person, who was borderline an idiot. He realized that the reason why Ivan's group lost to Clovis was because of this very reason.
The other groups couldn't help but look at Ivan while furrowing their eyebrows. They had heard everything about it, so it was easy to see which one was wrong. No matter how Ivan said it, he was still irresponsible enough to abandon his post.
The look on Ivan was priceless. It felt like he was being betrayed by the whole world. Kanaria was the one who enjoyed it the most.
