As your opponents are about to leave Deca Tower, you hurry over to them. You need to clear things up. Now.
You place your hand on the leader's shoulder to get their attention. Their head swivels toward you, and they have a smile on their face.
"'Sup?"
You weren't exactly sure what you had planned to say, and you struggle to find the right words.
"You. Me. We need to chat."
They wave off their teammates, telling them to go on without them. Milo, Leo, and Tasha are standing just out of hearing range. Wolf waits for you to speak up.
"So uh, is there a prob-"
"Why."
That didn't mean to come out as more of a statement. You tried again with a softer tone;
"Why did you let us win?"
They sigh out for a second, then face you directly. They seemed so casual up to this point, but there now seemed to be no emotion in their eyes.
"Destroy him."
...What?
"Excuse me?" You try to make sense of what they're saying, because obviously you weren't getting lots of information.
They blink, and suddenly they seem a little more easy-going again. They relax their shoulders, and shove their hands in their hoodie pocket.
"Emperor- Kick his ass. He deserves it."
How did they know? Was your anger that obvious? This still doesn't explain how their team could read yours like an open book. Wolf seems to recognize your confusion.
"It's what you want, right? Look, man, I can't really explain too much but... I kinda get what you're going through."
Wait, what? There's someone like you? Are they not from here-
"He's a little bitch, hiding behind stacks of cash. He thinks he's better than everyone else. His teammates aren't quite as bad, but they still need to be taught a lesson. You have potential. I've seen some of your battles, and you've been growing at impossible rates. I'm at my limit. I don't have the power to beat him, but I think you do."
They pause for a moment.
"So do me a favor, and give him a nice blow to his ego, yeah?"
You can only really offer a nod, still unsure of what to make of the situation.
Well, it wasn't as wild as you thought it was.
Wolf turns away to meet up with their team before you can really talk to them.
