Probably to get rid of competition. He's too good.
Here's my prediction!
It's hard to figure out how Isagi will reunite with the rest of the team. I don't think Bachira will come back that soon. He might even still be with the rival team next stage.
The other two guys will probably lose too and get split up, and then get stolen by Isagi one by one. I do hate plot armor because it makes the ending predictable but the process is still a mystery so that's fine!
@MellowV2
But wouldn't you want to take the best player b/c it would increase your chances of winning in the future?
Interesting prediction tho! I agree we won't be seeing Bachira for a while I kinda hope the author makes Isagi win Barou but then lose Nagi next- it would be hilarious for just the two to team up lol
@Sandpaper It is a double-ended sword, if you take the best player you have a higher chance of winning this stage but a lower chance of winning later stages.
Exactly! From a logical standpoint it's virtually impossible to get rid of all of the players who don't have a "I only wanna compete with the best of the best" mind set through the first selection alone. So there are bound to be plenty of "cowards" left who want to eliminate as many freaks of nature as possible early on. @Sandpaper so that's why
