Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 604

After a long silence, Juniper licked her lips and said in a hoarse voice, “Sorry, I must have been dreaming.”

“It’s okay.”

The students were forgiving. After a couple of laughs, they dove back into their discussion about the competition.

“The reason Neverfall Navigators is called that is because when Demon was on the team, they never lost. Not once. Ever since Demon left, their record has been painful to watch.”

In dozens of matches over two years, they’d only won a handful of championships. The rest were second or third-place finishes. And the few they did win were in tournaments where the top teams didn’t even participate, so they weren’t worth much.

“They keep talking about making improvements, but how are they getting worse?” one of the guys complained, frustrated. “The quarter-finals are this weekend against a top Oceania team. Just looking at the lineup, I’m already worried for them.”

“I heard someone on Neverfall Navigators is injured, too. How are they supposed to play like that?”

If they couldn’t beat the Oceania team, they’d be knocked out of the top four, not even securing third place. Die-hard fans of Neverfall Navigators could accept them taking second or third place, but not even making it to the finals was unacceptable.

This was the team Demon had built. Failing to reach the finals would be like smashing Demon’s legacy to pieces! And this was supposed to be the strongest eSports team in the country. If they couldn’t do it, no one else stood a chance.

Suddenly, the future of Orient Country’s eSports scene looked bleak.

“The number one ranked team, fallen this far in just two years…” One of the guys was so frustrated his eyes were red. “If Demon knew about this, she'd be turning in her grave.”

“Demon definitely knows. The question is why she isn’t doing anything about it.”

“You don’t think she actually took a high-paying job with Batonia’s team, do you?!”
