"Wow, has Mika collected all the cards?" Gon finally realized what was happening as he listened to the announcement from the binder.

With Gon and Killua's victory over Gensuru and his companions, Mika had successfully acquired the complete set of designated slot cards.

This meant Mika had qualified to win the game.

This realization left Gon feeling incredibly dejected. He had hoped to use the game's completion as a means of searching for his father, Ging Freecss, in the vicinity.

"Don't worry, this isn't just my victory, it's our victory," Mika said, giving Gon's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Gon, Killua, Bisky, Airmid, Mellie, Gabriel, and myself. All seven of us are now owners of the ninety-nine cards."

"However, since there can only be one winner, why don't we have a little competition amongst ourselves?"

"A competition? How?" Mellie asked curiously.

With everyone's eyes on him, Mika explained with a smile, "We'll use this final game, of course!"

"Unlike the other cards, there's only one 'Ruler's Blessing' card. So, in a sense, there can only be one winner of this game."

"Therefore, whoever obtains the 'Ruler's Blessing' will be the ultimate victor. What do you say?"

"..."

"Alright, it's decided then," Mellie agreed after a brief silence.

At Mellie's confirmation, everyone's anticipation grew.

"Speaking of which, this game is quite disadvantageous for us," Mellie suddenly remarked as everyone prepared for the final stage.

"Huh? Why?" Gon asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Didn't the announcement say that the questions will be related to the designated slot cards?"

"That means those who collected cards primarily through stealing from others won't be able to obtain this final card."

"Unlike you and Killua, while we also collected cards ourselves, almost half of our cards were obtained through battles."

Mellie blushed slightly as she admitted this.

While they hadn't intended to rely on stealing cards to progress through the game, they often found themselves facing challengers. And their method of "dealing" with these challengers involved taking their cards.

As the saying goes, if you're willing to steal from others, you must be prepared to have your own cards stolen as well.

Therefore, including the cards acquired from Gensuru, nearly half of Mika, Airmid, and Mellie's cards were taken from other players.

This meant they were at a disadvantage when it came to knowledge about the designated slot cards compared to Gon, Killua, and Bisky.

"Oh, I see!"

Gon and Killua exchanged grins and jumped up excitedly.

"Great! Even the brilliant Mellie-sensei has admitted defeat! It looks like victory is ours!"

Mellie's eye twitched at their enthusiastic declaration.

Those two brats were truly incorrigible.

How dare they underestimate her like that!
