*Team Ten Island - Evening*
Blight light flashed, and Vincent, Lilith, Nick, Clair, Jun Ye Rim, and Maria returned to the island. Maria left to meet with Ester and Iris while the rest went to the kitchen.
Vincent took a seat and explained why he wanted them to have a team meeting. This was their first time in almost two months, making Nick, Clair, and Jun Ye Rim nervous.
"I pondered a lot today, and I decided it would be best not to participate in a ranking match or surrender when the match starts."
Nick, Clair, and Jun Ye Rim had spent some time in Maria's lesson pondering if the ranking matches would be dangerous for them. Vincent's words made their uneasy feeling reemerge, yet hearing the suggestion to surrender eased their nervousness regarding the matter.
"I see that my thought might be somewhat similar to yours. Yes, it is as you are thinking about. We have two fighters and three non-combat support."
