The moment the start of the game of 'Hide and Seek' was announced, dozens of light screens instantly appeared in the cities of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, each of them showing to the people what is exactly going on in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.

Looking at the light screens, everyone could see that the Hiders are now moving all over the map, obviously looking for the best hiding spot to hide so as to not get eliminated in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.

A map could also be seen right beside the light screens, which shows red dots that indicate the exact location of the Hiders in the miniature replica of the Mountain Wall range.

Basically, almost all of the directions have a few Hiders going towards them in either a group made up of the participants from their respective teams or in solo.

Meanwhile, Veronica, Vannessa, and Jessica were all going towards the center of the map as soon as the game began.

Along the way, the three of them all took out a tiny earpiece from their Storage Rings and secretly put it on their ears before quickly using their long hair as a cover to prevent others from seeing them.

"Communicators check?" Veronica asked both Vannessa and Jessica behind her.

"Yes, ma'am!" Vannessa and Jessica replied in unison.

Exactly as they have said, those tiny earpieces were called 'Communicators', specifically a type of Magic Technology that allows any wearer to communicate with other people in the same channel and in a specific range of distance. In this case, the entire Victory Arena.

These communicators are developed by the Elves Secret organization and are given to all of their allies today in order to better improve everyone's cooperation with one another.

As for the real inventors of this Magic Technology, they were none other else but the Human race, who had used their previous technologies on Earth as a reference.

This communicator, though, is actually just one of the many Magic Technologies that the Human race has developed.

However, since the Human race was so weak, and still is, they have no other choices left but to used those Magic Technologies as a way to help... No, to be more precise, to save themselves by establishing relationships, either business relationships or political relationships, with many different races during the past earlier days after getting transported in the Celestial World. One of such people they have successfully built ties with is the Elf race.

Unfortunately, despite inventing the communicators, the Human race was barely able to produce them due to the small amount of resources available for them to freely use. This is the exact reason why Leo and the others are only able to find these communicators at this very point in time.

"Begin establishing a connection to everyone!" Veronica sent a command to the communicator after activating it. As the race who invented the communicators, she naturally knew how to use them, even though this was technically her first time truly touching one. Of course, the main reason for that is because she had already read plenty of histories about the Human race's existence after being transported in the Celestial World back then in the Lionheart Kingdom. Well, who doesn't, right? Especially considering that she is a member of the Human race and a member of a Noble Household on top of that too.

In the next moment, the communicators on the ears of Veronica, Vannessa, and Jessica instantly connected to their only allies in the Victory Arena, which are Elmont, Tifa, Tila, Orcborg, and the members from the Red Fist Guild, Bagley, Captain Iles, Vice-Captain Ryles, Vice-Captain Sito, Vice-Captain Uriah and some men from the Elves Secret organization, and a few other more who were still secretly hiding. If there was one thing in common with all of these people, that is the fact that they are all the most trusted people of the Evergreen royal family.

"This is the team from the Mischievous Lion Guild. We are currently located in the south and are now moving towards the agreed location. Over," Veronica said through the communicators. 

"Finally," Elmont could be heard from the communicator heaving a sigh of relief. He said, "We really thought that Guild Leader Loki had forgotten to give you any communicators,"

"You do know right that I can hear you loud and clear?" Leo can't help but interrupt.

"Welcome, Guild Leader Loki," Orcborg welcomed.

"Nice meeting you again, Guild Leader Loki," Bagley greeted.

"It is a great honor working with you again, Guild Leader Loki," Captain Iles added.

"Oh, Guild Leader Loki, I didn't expect that you are also finally here," Elmont said wryly.

"Enough with the chit-chat! What's the plan?" Leo quickly decided to go right into details. The reason for him doing this was because Veronica is participating in the game.

"Eh, is that concern I'm hearing from your voice right now?" Veronica can't help but tease.

"As your husband, it is only natural for me to be concerned. So please continue paying attention to your surroundings and be safe," Leo responded.

"Okay-"

"Let's get straight to the main topic, people," Elmont quickly disrupted the lovey-dovey conversation between Leo and Veronica. He then explained the plan, "Me and my two sisters will be providing both the Mischievous Lion Guild and Red Fist Guild a bird's eye view from the sky and we will also be responsible for guiding the Seekers and preventing them from going into any one of your Hiders. While on the other hand, the rest of you who are not participating in the game of 'Hide and Seek' will be in-charged of deciding the best course of action that they should be taking,"

"Last but not the least, those others who are hiding in the crowd would continue blending in and locating the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization among the group of innocent people,"

"If you have any questions, then you can begin asking now," Elmont finished speaking.

All of a sudden though, a loud female voice was heard through everyone's communicators.

It was Elmont's girlfriend, Selina, who was also participating in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition along with the members of Elmont's team, Battle Maniacs.

"For Goodness' sake, how do I properly use this communicator!" Selina asked loudly.

"We don't have any questions. So you can have the rest of the time with your girlfriend," Leo was the first one to back out, completely aware already of the trouble that women would bring to him, or to anyone else in general.

Soon, it was quickly followed after by Orcborg, "I'll be busy now leading my men,"

As if noticing the ambiguous tone of Leo and Orcborg's voice, Bagley also quickly informed the members of the Elves Secret organization to no longer pay any attention to the communicators in the meantime.

The others also followed suit, not because they have noticed something strange, but rather because they really don't have any questions to ask.

Of course, Tifa and Tila also did the same. Probably because they still need to focus on hosting the game of 'Hide and Seek'.

"You..." Elmont could only voice out his helplessly upon realizing that it was only him and Selina left in the conversation right now. Since that was the case, then he can only begin explaining to Selina what they plan to do, and he also didn't forget to inform her on how to properly use the communicators.

Of course, everyone was still listening with the communicators, it's just that they are no longer paying that much attention to it, since they already have what they need. Additionally, the game was now becoming intense.

Although the Seekers have still not started looking for any of the Hiders yet, there were already a few people getting eliminated in the game.

Obviously, those eliminated people weren't captured and subdued by the Seekers. After all, there is still a considerable amount of time before the Seekers would finally be released in the miniature replica of the Mountain Wall range. Instead, those people were killed by other Hiders themselves.

From the very beginning, there was never any mention about the Hiders not being allowed to sabotage other Hiders.

Also, Princess Tifa had just mentioned a while ago about brutal killing in the previous Emerald Elven Battle Competition and that it will definitely exist in this year's Emerald Elven Battle Competition as well.

Hence, by connecting those two clues, it is certainly not that difficult to arrive at the conclusion that the enemies of the Hiders aren't only the Seekers, but also the other fellow Hiders like them too.

"Veronica, watch out for your six o'clock, there are three people coming from that direction," Leo warned.

"Roger," Veronica nodded her head in affirmation. She quickly motioned her hand for Vannessa and Jessica to stop from their tracks, as they then quietly hid themselves in an ambush by using the surrounding bushes and trees as covers.

"Look what we have here, everyone, the next confrontation at this hour! Located at the south of the map, the girls from the Mischievous Lion Guild against the Wearenotirrevelant team," Elmont introduced. He further added, "Three against three! Who will win? Would it be the beauty? Or would it be the ugly ogres? Let's watch closely so that all of us will know the answers to our questions,"
