"Hi, we got a surprise at the Arena this year," said Ari with his distinctive friendly face, "This is sudden news. I never thought it would happen either."
"Yes, man," Jemy nodded in agreement, "This final chapter will definitely be harder than the previous rounds."
"Well," Ari also nodded, "Imagining first-year children competing with the final year alone is quite horrendous, especially if they also have to compete against the talented children of the Neo-Altair Academy. This must be a grave dilemma for the Yildirim Squad."
“Not so, dude,” Jemy shook his head slowly, “First-year kids won't be that perverted because this is a merging event.”
“Oh! True too,” reply Ari as if newly realized, “The Neo-Altair Academy has several inter-departure mixed squads. Two of their best squads will join the two best squads of our academy.”
“So, Team Yildirim will join one of the squads that go into the final round of the Neo-Altair Academy,” obviously Jemy in more detail, “So does Team Tupan, so does the, they will be joined by one of the finalists from Neo-Altair.” Academy
“This will be a challenge for them,” Ari think of some possibilities that will occur from all sides, “Skala Arena will become even bigger because many participants who participated this time. Each team combined must also consolidate to build good cooperation. If until they fail to consolidate it, it will be difficult for them to win.”
"Yes, yes," Jemy nodded in agreement, "The essence of this match is the establishment of strong and proper teamwork. Let's see .. Arena finaaal!"

"We meet again, Ats" said a young man with a distinctive smile on his face. He patted Ats shoulder familiarly. Ats' friends were quite surprised to see him.
“Ya, Senior Ulu,” Ats nods small, “This is an unexpected coincidence.”
“Continue?” Ulu squinted his eyes in a flash, then smiled knotfully, “Yeah, anyway, happy one team with you.”
“Where are the other Senior friends?” Ats looked at the group of young men discussing in his room. Solar is in the middle of them. The main leader of the Yildirim Squad was consolidating with the party from the Neo-Altair Academy.
“Zagan is in the next squad,” said Ulu told me happily, “Let me tell you from now on. He is a troublesome opponent.”
Ats manggut-mangut understand, while Arjuna and Bayu just stand listening quietly. They were indeed curious because a senior disciple from the Neo-Altair Academy greeted Ats first. However, they held back that curiosity to ask later.
“Radu did not participate in the Arena match,” continued Ulu, “Arie was also in the opposite squad. Ah, he's the most troublesome boy. So far, no one has been able to escape his shot.”
“Is he a sniper?” tanya Bayu went into the chat Ats and Ulu. Ulu turned to him, then nodded.”Right, he's a great sniper.”
“Ho, it's interesting,” Ulu grinned thinly, “No wonder you guys can get to the final even though it's still the first year.”
“Hm, obviously,” Solar suddenly came, join, “We are the best generation of the decade.”
“Do not be arrogant first,” Ats reminds, “Our opponents have great heroes. Even though you have reached the expert stage, you are still a beginner. They are great people who are way above us.”
“Oh, an ahlikah practitioner?” Ulu looked interested, “Master Eden must have come to you.”
“Master Eden?” Solar recalls for a moment, “Oh, the new teacher. Yes, ever, but I've been Master Khaled.”'s student
“Hm?” Ulu looked at Solar in wonder at something, then ignored it, “So, yes.”
Consolidation went well. Solar understands his comrades' abilities. He and part of the Yildirim Squad accepted the role of invading forces under the command of the seniors of the Neo-Altair Academy. That doesn't matter. After all, their opponents this time were much different from before.
“Ats, we join the attack this time?” ask Siver in a lazy tone, “I want to play with the missiles again. Can't I go back to Command Base?”
“Relax, Siv,” Ats don't care about Siver's complaints, “Just follow them. They are more experienced and professional. After all, there was no such thing in the Arena this time.”
“Hm, right too anyway,” Siver is also self-conscious, “Again, we won by chance.”
“...”
Ats wanted to refute the words of his friend, but he stopped. In fact, their victory was not entirely a coincidence. Team effort and cooperation became the main key in their victory. Compliance and trust are no less important. If Siver and the others had asked too much about Ats' decision, they might have been raided sooner by the opponent.
“This is it,” said Ats slowly once the big door opens. The beautiful urban panorama of trimillenium. The skyscrapers are soaring. There is a futuristic feel that is not inferior to the imperial capital.
“City Lines?” Ali was astonished by the name listed on one of the walls of the room where they first appeared in the digital world. Siver followed the direction his eyes looked at, while Ats explained, “This is one of the most advanced cities on Earth. They have everything, not inferior to us.”
“Superb enough,” Ali stared at the surrounding buildings closely as soon as he walked out of the room, “I heard, Earth was devastated when the Antarctic War hundreds of years ago.”
“Well, there you have it,” Ats agrees, “But, Aklali like us can regenerate quickly like a virus infecting Earth. So, building that fast is natural. It's about time. Let's go ahead soon to scout.”
