In no time, the battle at the towers had started, Gen and Theodore split up to cover some more ground, but it didn’t take long for the players who had died from the other team to respawn.

Even so, when that time came, they were already too late.

​​

One tower had already been taken down by Gen as she made her way to the one that Theodore was trying to take care of. The health bar on this tower still had over two-thirds of its original durability remaining, which only went to further show how weak support’s attacks were.

If not for the fact that Gen was confident in finishing up before the opposition could reach her or Theodore, it would have been a really bad idea to leave the support attacking a tower alone.

Everyone could see that the tower on the left-hand side was destroyed and the one at the center was rapidly losing its durability and so it was only natural that the players would head to the tower at the center.

Gen and Theodore were on a roll, but they had to stop when they spotted three of their enemies that had just respawned.

“I’ll take the middle guy and the one on the right, will you be able to hold off the one on the left?” Gen asked. She was still skeptical about Theodore’s prowess and so she thought it better to be safe rather than sorry.

This was, after all, her life or death situation.

Theodore quickly agreed to her approach and gave them both a buff.

By the time Dyson, BBAD and, DanK joined in the fray followed by the other team’s [Handsome Hunk] and [Drop Dead Gorgeous] team 2045 had already lost its advantages in the fight.

This was because they were in enemy territory and they fought right next to the enemy towers. These towers gave each of the members of the [Handsome Fivesome] within its area of effect, which was all of them, a buff that also regenerated some of their health at a very slow pace. Even so, this advantage in a team fight was very significant. These buffs made up for their lack of support and then some because each of them had a strong combat prowess.

“I’ll take the swordsman going against Gen,” BBAD said. He already had considerably low health due to the previous fight he had participated in and even with Theodore’s buff, he wouldn’t be able to recover nearly as quickly as the other team did with the tower.

“But I don’t think I’ll be able to hold on for very long,” BBAD already had low health, and his opponent wasn’t to be underestimated either.

“That’ll be enough.”

Even so, before Gen could take the last strand of [Super Handsome]’s HP, BBAD and Dyson had met their demise.

This left the battlefield with only DanK who had not lost any health previously as he had been hiding in the bushes the whole time, Gen who was now attacking the tower once more, and their three opponents who were slowly encircling the two.

In this three v. two, Gen and DanK’s demise was pretty inevitable, they were at an unfavorable position when it came to both terrain and numbers.

When they both died, they would respawn again on their side of the map, but then they would be at an even worse disadvantage than they were at now. The time that it would take for them to respawn was also enough for their opponents to take out one of their own towers.

The best way they could prevent the worst-case scenario would be for them to survive long enough for Dyson and BBAD to respawn while aiming for mutual destruction.

The remaining number of the Handsome Fivesome didn’t give them any time to adapt, aiming straight for the kill and it was only after Kayden had died that he noticed that someone was missing on the battlefield.

“Where are you, Theodore?” Kayden hadn’t seen him since Theodore killed off his opponent. Vanishing into thin air. Perhaps if they had fought a three on three, they would have lasted longer. Of course, it was only natural that Kayden wouldn’t expect to win in such a situation, no matter what kind of combat standards Theodore may have.

After all, their opponents were being healed perpetually and it didn’t even cost them any mana or time. Meanwhile, if Theodore were to try and heal them in the same way, not only would he quickly run out of gas, he would also become a stationary target for the team members of the Handsome Fivesome.

They were in enemy territory and so the other side had the home ground advantage.

As Kayden waited to be respawned, he stood up to go look at what Theodore was doing on his side as well as figure out why he hadn’t been in that last battle just then.

Yet, in the end, what he found on the screen was anything but expected.

On Theodore’s screen, some of the most unforeseen words were displayed for him to ponder on.

[YOU WIN]

[Recieved 0.2 guild fame points for beating Team ‘Handsome Fivesome’]

Kayden was dumbfounded.

‘What happened in the few seconds I wasn’t looking.’

‘Can you not be this fast?’

‘What about my processing time’ Kayden inwardly complained. 

He looked back at his own phone just to make sure that it wasn’t a glitch and surely enough, his screen displayed the same words he had previously seen.

Truthfully, Kayden was not the only one completely startled by this turn of events. On the other side, the people from the Handsome Fivesome were equally shook, if not more.

“What happened?” Super Handsome, who had only just respawned when they lost asked.

“That was crazy! This guy did a 9 chain combo on the towers. Can you even do that?” Drop Dead Gorgeous shook his head intensely, making sure he wasn’t hallucinating.

It had to be said that a chain combo had never been tried on a tower, only on other players. So how could Drop Dead Gorgeous and the others not be shocked when they witnessed what they didn’t think the be possible right in front of their eyes?

“He must be hacking! There’s no way that was something in the realms of possibility or else everyone would have long been discussing it right?” Handsome Hunk, the team captain who had watched the whole event happen was equally as distraught.

“Should we report this?” Handsomest was also having some troubles stomaching this loss.

It would have at least been somewhat acceptable if they had been purely overpowered, but they clearly had the upper hand back then, yet before they knew it, they had lost two of their towers. And to smear some more salt on the wound, they only realized that the towers had been attacked after the fact, too stunned to make a move to prevent the support from the other team from taking them down.

“Let’s report it, there’s just no way that there isn’t a glitch or hacking involved. If worse comes to worst we just lose some measly fame points.” Handsomer than the Others felt like if he didn’t get to the bottom of this, this moment would most likely lurk over the back of his mind for a long time.

“Okay, then you report it.” Handsomest pursed his lips and nodded.

“It would be great if you reported it.” Handsomer than the Others insisted.

“One of you just report it already!” Handsome Hunk didn’t want to listen to their shenanigans at the moment and as the captain, he had to display his iron fist every once in a while.

“Let’s take a vote, we’re all very democratic here. I think that captain should report it since he’s the captain. What do you think?” Handsomest smirked as if he had been waiting for this moment to arrive, a layer of mischief coating his eyes. It was truly a pity that there was no one there with him to see it.

‘I’ve been had,’ at this point, Handsome Hunk would have to be seriously moronic if he didn’t know what was going on.

“I agree.” Handsomer than the others nodded his head after pretending to ponder for a bit.

“Yeah, we’ve always been very democratic, I’ll give my vote to the captain too.” Drop Dead Gorgeous inwardly rolled his eyes at Handsomest’s little tricks, but he had no choice but to go along with it. Though even if he had a choice, he would have most likely have done the same.

“Well that’s already three out of five, so I guess my vote doesn’t matter too much, but I’ll give you my vote of confidence captain.” Super Handsome leisurely added.

No one wanted to be the one to have to report it, but everyone wanted to know the results, the reason for this was quite simple. So that people wouldn’t spam the report button,  the developers made it so that it would cost fame points to report. 

If you misreport, you lose the 50 fame point it cost you to report the glitches/ hacks/ hacker, and if you do indeed point out a mistake in the system or a hacker, you are gifted up to 500 fame points depending on how relevant your contributions were.

Meanwhile, though these people didn’t want to believe that Doorii hadn’t hacked, deep down, none of them were sure of their claims.

None of them wanted to lose their fame points, but they wouldn’t mind if their captain, who was already in the lead, gained a little boost if they were right.

Handsome Hunk resigned to his fate the moment he realized that he was cornered while thinking about resigning from his friendship with these bastards.

Theodore: How come one of these guys doesn’t have handsome in their Username?

Drop Dead Gorgeous: Oh, you’re interested in me?

Theodore: ? 

Drop Dead Gorgeous: I guess you could say it’s because I stand out from the rest, I’m just that much more good-looking.

All the other members of the team: …. *veins bulge*

All the other members of the team: ‘We can’t even say he’s wrong though, he’s pretty damn good looking…’

Theodore: For real? I thought maybe you guys were just a group of semi-bald uncles sitting in front of their computers all day in the dark while eating junk food and experimenting with more ways to lose hair.

Handsome Fivesome: !!!

All the individual members: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAYBE THE OTHER MEMBERS WILL BE LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN MY GORGEOUS FACE. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
