After Nic stopped taking care of Philix, he chose to focus on the unity team and the weekly matches.
9 weeks have passed and the final standings of the teams are already clear as to which teams will make the playoffs and which will not.

Throughout the week, the Unity team only lost to the Phoenix team... and they lost on purpose.
And the first day of the play-off round began today, the atmosphere in the match arena was quite tense and as usual, Philix still controlled the media.
Today there will be a match between Immortal vs Red panda and Black horse vs Light.
Nic and Alethea decided to watch their match in the live arena while the others watched online.
The match went smoothly and the match was won by the Immortal and Black Horse teams while the losers were immediately eliminated and the Immortal team will fight the Unity team, the Black horse team is against the phoenix team.
Before going home, Nic met Kai, a member of the Immortal team.
"Do you want me to tell Rika and Talia to watch our match later?" Nic said.
Kai immediately got annoyed and just clicked his tongue and walked past Nic, "I don't care, you jerk."
Nic said that on purpose because he saw that Kai's mental state was weak, so he was just testing him and it turned out that he really gave up.

The day went by quickly and the second day of the playoffs began.
But before that let's go to unity headquarters, all of Nic's girlfriends are planning something.
They were all really hanging out and all of them were there because they happened to be on holiday and free.
They gathered in the living room, Vivi and Leona stood in the middle to tell them.
Leona: "Ukhum... everyone, do you miss Nic? You definitely do, right? We haven't seen him in weeks."
Nia: "Even if you don't ask, you'll know the answer, right? haha!."
Vivi: "Well.. because of that.. Leona and I have a suggestion, what if we follow Nic there and watch the match live!".
Yui: "I agree! Rather than just watching it from afar.."
Violet: "That's right, and while it's a holiday, we can all go there together."
Jenny: "Nic Nic Nic Nic Nic Nic Nic I'm impatient, let's go now!"
Fanny just kept quiet and pinched Jenny.
Olivia: "What vehicle are we going there by?"
Lily: "Let's go through the Isekai portal so it's fast waahaha!"
Mika: "Can I bring a sack of food? I often get hungry when I travel."
Raina and Eliz just laughed when they heard Mika and Lily talking nonsense.
Meanwhile, Luna smiled while looking at the collection of potions she had just made. Instantly everyone walked away afraid of being experimented on.
The others were also whispering and discussing what they were going to do there but suddenly Nia slammed the table.
Nia: "Hehe sorry, the point is you guys have to be orderly... we're not going on a picnic or vacation but we came to support Nic and surprise him with our arrival!"
Nia's leader aura was really felt until Vivi clapped and the others followed suit, making her feel nervous and immediately sit down.
Then Leona explained that she would tell her father to pick them all up by private plane and then told her father not to tell Nic they were coming.

Back to the arena.
The first match between Team Unity and Team Immortal, and finally in the playoff round, Nic played.
Coach Immortal did not hesitate, because of Kai, Ethan, and Rion has told Nic's game.
In the audience seats, it turned out that Veronica was also watching Nic... but what was more surprising was that one by one the girls entered.
Leona, Vivi, Nia and others began to fill the Unity team's audience seats which were initially empty because of Philix's actions. But unexpectedly the seats were full.
Nic, who was relaxing on the arena bench, suddenly lost focus because he saw his girlfriends there, "Wait! Are they here? Since when? I don't think they told me to come here.."
Rin, who saw Nic say that, immediately asked, "Who? Are those female audience members who suddenly appeared? Do you know them?".
Nic nodded and admitted that they were his girlfriends. Rin, Cherry, Lyssandra, and Kyra fell silent.
Then the most exciting part was when Rika and Talia appeared... the legendary Team Immortals returned. But as a viewer who supports Team Unity? That's how the comments section reacted.
The media was immediately shocked because Rika and Talia's reputation in the world of esports games is very good, without any defeats.
Kai, Rion, Ethan and the immortal coach who saw Rika and Talia there immediately felt frustrated... there was no enthusiasm for life.
"Hah.. Rika.. you should be by my side now.. fuck.." said Ethan.
The match started and the Unity team dominated. Nic's girlfriends were really energetic and noisy, especially Lily.
Lily: "GO GO NIC GO GO UNITY, NIC IS GREAT NIC IS UNBEATABLE, NIC IS THE BEST WAHAHAH!!!"
"Hey, you better get out," said the security guard.
Olivia immediately covered Lily's mouth, "Ahaha.. sorry sir, she's a bit crazy."
Everyone laughed, Nic had been smiling the whole time.. he really wasn't playing seriously, but what could he do? With his God Fusion Esports skills, he was truly invincible. And finally, Team Unity won.
Meanwhile, the immortal team entered the lower bracket.
After the match was over, Nic and the others went home and brought Nic's girlfriends to play at the Unity Team gaming house.
When Leona entered, the workers who already knew who Leona was immediately bowed in respect.
Vivi: "Wow, you're really cool, Leona."
Leona: "That's fine, let's go to rest... GH is quite spacious."
They chatted and got to know each other.
Nic: "So... you guys deliberately came secretly to surprise me?".
Everyone nodded innocently.
They thought Nic was angry, but in fact, his heart was exploding with love. Initially, his feelings of liking were helped by the system, but now Nic is truly madly in love with all of them.
They also party, sing together, dance together, eat together, have pillow fights, and enjoy the night.

On the other side.. Lisa's hiding place.
Lisa looks sad because she knows... no one looked for her while she was missing!?
"So.. Miss Lisa, have you woken up? If not yet.. I've got information about the doctor who's handling your pregnancy. Do you want to see? But it seems like you're not ready," Julia said, staring at her computer.
Lisa immediately stood up and saw the information she had never known before, and she was immediately shocked and tears came out of her eyes.
