"SOUTHEASTERN HIGH SCHOOL is eliminated. There are nine contestants left on the battlefield," the female voice announces throughout the speakers around the building. It's only been about fifteen minutes since the bell rang and three contestants were already eliminated. It seems like Max's prediction isn't going to be a prediction any longer.
"Are you sure he's here?" Max whispers at Nicolás while both are hiding inside a janitor's closet.
"We're looking for the guy from Highlands High right?" Nicolás asks back, and Max nods his head as a response.
"Then I'm certain that he's on this floor. The other four who were killed off were on the third floor, so I'm assuming Kingston and his team decided to claim the highest floor as their territory. The dude from Highlands will have no choice but to go to the second floor," Nicolás explains.
After discussing the plan with the other White Uniforms, Max explained that the first thing that they need to do is find a map of the entire battleground. It wasn't in the rules that you can't steal materials from other contestants, so Max suggested that they steal the map from the contestant of Highlands High who won second place at the beauty portion earlier.
"It's funny how you talked about the advantages being completely useless earlier in your interview and now we're here stealing one," Nicolás points out, making Max glare at him.
"I was lying of course. Who doesn't want to win an advantage?" Max defends, and Nicolás just shrugs his shoulder.
After a couple more minutes of waiting, Nicolás suddenly spots someone. "There!" He excitedly shouts while pointing at the student from Highlands High who was hiding inside one of the classrooms at the end of the hallway near stairs #1. "Looks like he's flying solo."
Nicolás got ready to run and attack him, but Max immediately stops him and says, "I bet he's not alone. That's just what he wants us to think. There are nine contestants left. There's four of us, and then three from Kingston's group. Those two probably teamed up to help each other."
"So what do we do?"
Max looks around the janitor's closet and spots a mop and a rolling bucket filled with water.
"Can't believe my senses have shrunk down to Jokers' prank level," Max says with a smile before taking the mop and the bucket. He then spots powdered soap and some wax, which must have been added by the organizers for the contestants to use, considering how this is already an abandoned building, and materials like these shouldn't be here at all.
"Thankfully this is Mr. Brains and Brawn, so each room is filled up with different items," Max says before dumping the soap and wax inside the bucket and mixing it.
"Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" Nicolás asks him. But Max didn't even have to say anything as Nicolás starts looking for something sharp.
"Here," he says when he spots a pair of garden shears.
Max opens the door and positions the bucket in the middle of the hallway. Afterward, Nicolás grips on the garden shears and forcefully makes a hole on the bottom of the rolling bucket before kicking it, making it run down the hall while the soapy water streams out from the hole, wetting the floor.
"Let's go," Max says before going out of the cramped janitor's closet. He then looks at Nicolás and nods his head, signaling him to make noise.
Nicolás slams a door, and the contestant from Highlands immediately runs out of the classroom. When he spots them, he points his gun at the two and starts shooting.
