Chapter 56 - Instant elimination

Amelia: He didn't say that now!

Oli: How did it sound to you then? Why do you even want him to win so badly? Maybe the money he promised?

Amelia: Shut up! It doesn't even matter, he only said what he said to trick us to believe that he lost so it will have a bigger hit for you!

Oli: This just does not make sense to tell me now either if it's true or not.

...

The third round has ended, the results:

Bets:

Bandeer: 0 value (remaining: 30) (WB:0)

Lior: 0 value (remaining: 20) (WB:1)

Todor: 0 value (remaining: 28) (WB:0)

Zairen: 10 value (remaining: 20) (WB:1)

Winner: Zairen!

Round 4 starts now.

Todor just sits there silently, eyes even closed. He could be either thinking about how to get out of this situation or that he just better give up.

...

Oli: Not a single reaction. You know I can read people really well, and that face is telling me that he gave up.

Amelia: Tsha! So far you always said that you can't read him! Don't tell me just suddenly can now!

Oli: Could be the case.

Havel: Hey, look over there! What's he doing?

Oli: What?

...

Todor opens his eyes to search for a thread on the seam of his clothing, as he finds one, starts to pull a few inches and tear it, putting it into the card reader, but it won't turn on.

Todor: So it needs to be specifically a card, it won't try to read, will not try to take it in and won't vibrate even a second. Huh- As if I could use this one alone if it would work somehow else, I need to think about something else.

...

Amelia: You see? I told you he wouldn't give up! Damn he's not even panicking!

Oli: I never said he would panic.

The fourth round has ended, the results:

Bets:

Bandeer: 0 value (remaining: 30) (WB:0)

Lior: 10 value (remaining: 10) (WB:2)

Nyra: 0 value (remaining: 20) (WB:1)

Todor: 0 value (remaining: 28) (WB:0)

Zairen: 0 value (remaining: 20) (WB:1)

Winner: Lior!

Round 5 starts now.

Oli: Hey referee! It's only one more round until the break! Can we go outside to see what happens? Heh, I wanna see Todor's expression in real life.

Referee No.1: Sure, you can go out, but don't go too close to them and any kind of communication with them will cause instant elimination.

Oli: Got it

Amelia: I'll stay inside...

The other player and the referee are all going outside.

Oli: This makeshift is pretty big, impressive that it was made in only about... 2 days? From nothing?

Havel: In today's modern days I don't think it's that difficult to do, especially for something like the BWCG.

Oli: Yeah, you are probably right.

Inside the hotel main hall-

Amelia: Hmm, I don't wanna believe it. Tell me they are not right, Todor.

The TV on the wall shows Todor.

Todor (TV): They are not right.

Amelia: Yeah, yeah that's what I'm saying ri- Wait, was that? He couldn't hear me!

Todor (TV): Amelia, you are in the hotel right? The others are not around, if so then take a rope, duck tupe and a broom.

Amelia: What... the actual-

Todor (TV): I'll wait outside, if I won't be eliminated already.

Amelia: What? What does he mean by that? Does he plan to give up? But why does he need all this stuff too? Whatever-

Outside;

Oli: Can't wait.

The fifth round has ended, the results:

Bets:

Bandeer: 0 value (remaining: 30) (WB:0)

Lior: 0 value (remaining: 10) (WB:2)

Nyra: 10 value (remaining: 10) (WB:2)

Todor: 0 value (remaining: 28) (WB:0)

Zairen: 0 value (remaining: 20) (WB:1)

Winner: Nyra!

Referee No.1: Now!

All the rooms lifted to the air now slowly sink to the ground and the walls slowly open around all the players.

Todor standing in front of the now opening wall. Facing the referee. He has his sweater spread out on the small chair and up on the card reader covering them, it's hooked to the card reader. As he sees that the referee is close to the makeshift, he lifts his legs as if wanting to step out the game.

Referee No.1: I hope Todor that you know it would cause your elimination.

Todor: I know, so? Wanna stop me maybe?

Referee No.1: As a referee, I can't interfere with the game unless there is anything against the rules occur.

Todor: Cool, then don't mind me.

Bandeer: Kukuku, Good choice Todor! kukukuku~

Referee No.1: Todor! I recommend you to think it over again!

Todor: Oh? I thought you were not against me stepping out since you are only a referee. Honestly your expression changed suddenly before you said that. Is it possible that maybe, just maybe, someone told you into your ear not to let me? Maybe it was the CEO himself?

Oli: What the hell is he doing?

Referee No.1: It doesn't matter if someone told me to or not to do anything.

Amelia suddenly appears with the equipment Todor asked for and rushes towards the gamefield, to Todor to be exact.

Referee No.1: STEP BACK ITS NOT ALLOWED TO GO CLOSER!

Amelia: SHUT THE FUCKING UP! ! !

Lands on Todor's space.

Referee No.1: AMELIA IS ELIMINATED! GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW!

Amelia: I DONT YOU-

Todor stops her.

Todor: Dear referee, can you tell me which rule says that in this situation she cannot be here?

Referee No.1: Entering or being in the makeshift while not officially participating in a match. And what you get for it is: Instant elimination.

Todor: Ah I see, so instant elimination? So she's already eliminated?

Referee No.1: Correct!

Todor: And for who the rules apply?

Referee No.1: The players!

Todor: Okay, thank you, then I see no problem with her staying here.

Bandeer: Todor, don't try too hard, you can't prove the referees wrong, they know the rules better than anyone else. Kukuku~

Referee No.1: No, Todor is right.

Bandeer: Kuku~ ku? What?

Referee No.1: The rules only apply for the players, and since Amelia is already eliminated, she is not counted as a player.

Lior: Ban, is it a problem?

Bandeer: Kuku, no there is still nothing to worry about, Todor can do anything but even he is under the laws of mathematics!

On the floor, there is the rope, duck tape and broom.

Bandeer: Also, not that I would want to think about anything weird but... Why do you need that stuff? Especially the rope and the duck tape is especially an interesting combination.

Todor: Do you think I told her to get this stuff? How could I even tell her anything?

Bandeer: Good point, I guess.
