The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart

"Let's protect Na-rim."

The third round began, and Na-rim left the party. Shinomiya Yuki, who was leading Gryphon’s main team, said that.

"Even if we win this round, we’ll still need to win two more. And I think... that’s probably impossible."

After the last two rounds, they had collided head-on with Leviathan’s main team.@@novelbin@@

Though there were always differences in numbers in each round, it was clear—there was a skill gap. The main team’s abilities were just on a different level.

In this match, Gryphon’s strategy was to block Aurora with Na-rim’s Dragon Knight. Meanwhile, they hoped to win in the main team fight, but neither side was succeeding.

They were losing in both the ace fight and the main team fight.

The strategy was already falling apart from the start.

"Let’s give up this match. But let’s protect our ace."

If they abandoned Na-rim, they might win this round. But would they really have a victory left after losing their identity as a team?

Thus, Gryphon made its choice.

Even if they lost this match, they would protect their identity.

Na-rim had been good at studying. She liked to put in effort.

She kept pushing herself, and as a result, her grades improved, and she ranked well.

She did well on her college entrance exam too. But she never figured out which university to apply to or what major to choose.

Why did she study?

At first, it seemed like something her parents made her do. They told her that if she worked hard now, it would pay off later, that her options would be broader.

Afterward, it became something she just kept doing out of habit.

Just like Laura said, not giving up was both a reason and a curse.

The sense of accomplishment from pushing through was all she had, and she just clung to the fact that she hadn’t given up.

But there was no real substance.
