With the capture of Hitler Churchill, the Shadow Planet team lost their fighting spirit and quickly laid down their weapons, surrendering.

The atmosphere in the competition arena gradually settled. The audience gazed at the Alfa Planet team, their eyes filled with admiration and awe. They understood that this victory wasn’t just for Alfa Planet, but also for the brave, united, and indomitable young warriors who had fought with all their might.

Stephen Curry walked up to the stage and announced the results: “After a fierce competition, the Alfa Planet team has successfully defeated all their opponents and won the Star League’s Genius Tournament Championship!”

The crowd erupted into thunderous applause and cheers, celebrating the Alfa Planet team’s victory. Enzo and his team stood on the stage, their faces beaming with joy and pride.

Stephen Curry approached Enzo, smiling as he spoke: “Mr. Enzo, your performance was exceptional, and you’ve brought a brilliant match to the Star League. On behalf of the Star League, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and congratulations to you.”

Enzo humbly replied, “Mr. Curry, this is what we were meant to do. Alfa Planet has always been committed to maintaining peace and stability in the Star League, and this tournament was just a part of our ongoing efforts.”

Stephen Curry nodded. “I am aware of Alfa Planet’s strength and contributions. Therefore, I have a proposal that I hope you will consider.”

Enzo’s interest piqued, and he asked curiously, “What proposal?”

Stephen Curry smiled slightly and said, “I propose that you, Mr. Enzo, be appointed as the new Chief Marshal of the Star League.”

This proposal stunned everyone present. They hadn’t expected Stephen Curry to make such a suggestion. Enzo, in particular, was taken aback and astonished.

“Me…?” Enzo pointed to himself, almost unable to believe what he was hearing.

Stephen Curry nodded seriously. “Yes, Mr. Enzo. Your performance in this competition has shown me your leadership and wisdom. I believe that under your leadership, the Star League will thrive and grow even stronger.”

Enzo fell silent for a moment, his mind filled with hesitation and inner conflict. He knew that accepting the position of Chief Marshal meant taking on greater responsibility and pressure. Yet, he also understood that this was a rare opportunity—one that would allow him to contribute even more to the peace and stability of the Star League.

At that moment, the team members stepped forward, each of them looking at Enzo with unwavering determination in their eyes.

“Enzo Lord, we believe you are more than capable of handling this position!” Jordan said.

“Yes, Enzo Lord, you are our leader, and we support you!” Bruce Brown echoed.

“Enzo Lord, for the peace and stability of the Star League, please accept this proposal!” Kehl added.

Liliana smiled and said, “Enzo Lord, no matter what decision you make, we will fully support you.”

“I oppose!”

At that moment, Draymond Green stepped forward.

Draymond Green’s face was as dark as water, his eyes fixed on Enzo, filled with anger and resentment.

“Draymond, do you have something to say?” Stephen Curry turned to him, his tone tinged with displeasure.

Draymond Green snorted and said, “Mr. Stephen, I believe Enzo is not fit to serve as the Chief Marshal of the Star League. He is merely a representative from Alfa Planet and lacks the experience and qualifications to lead the entire Star League.”

Stephen Curry frowned and responded, “Draymond, your view is somewhat one-sided. Enzo’s performance in this competition has been widely recognized. He has demonstrated outstanding leadership and wisdom. I believe he is more than capable of handling this role.”

But Draymond Green was unyielding, continuing, “Mr. Stephen, you can’t make such an important decision based on just one competition. The Chief Marshal of the Star League has a multitude of complex and demanding duties. Enzo is simply not up to the task.”

Enzo stared at Draymond Green, a surge of anger rising in his chest. But he knew this wasn’t the time for a fight. He had to stay calm and composed.

“Draymond Marshal, I understand your concerns,” Enzo said calmly. “But I believe experience and qualifications are not the only criteria for determining whether someone is suitable for a position. What matters more are ability, wisdom, and a sense of responsibility. I am confident that I possess these qualities and am fully capable of serving as the Chief Marshal of the Star League.”

Draymond Green sneered, saying, “Enzo, you’re too arrogant. Do you really think you have what it takes to lead the entire Star League? You’re just a representative from a small planet.”

Enzo’s expression darkened at his words. But he did not lose his composure. Instead, he continued, “Draymond Marshal, I respect your opinion, but I hope you can respect my decision as well. I am willing to face any trials or evaluations from the Star League to prove my abilities and worth.”

Stephen Curry watched the two of them bicker, a sense of helplessness in his heart. He knew this decision would impact the future of the Star League, and it needed to be handled with great care.

“Alright, both of you, stop arguing,” Stephen Curry interrupted their dispute. “As for whether Enzo is suitable to serve as the Chief Marshal of the Star League, we need to have a more in-depth discussion and evaluation. I won’t make any decisions before that.”

“No! Enzo must become the Marshal, or we won’t leave!”

At that moment, someone in the audience shouted, as if declaring they wouldn’t leave unless Enzo was appointed as the Chief Marshal.

“Yeah, Enzo Lord must become the Marshal!”

The crowd and Alfa Planet’s team members echoed loudly, with voices rising in unison, and the atmosphere in the arena instantly became heated.

Draymond Green’s face turned a deep shade of anger. He hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating to this point. He turned to Stephen Curry, seeking support: “Mr. Stephen, what do you think of this…?”

Stephen Curry, however, smiled and waved his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down. His gaze turned serious as he looked at Enzo, as though deep in thought.

“Enzo,” Stephen Curry said slowly, “your performance has indeed left a strong impression on me. But being the Chief Marshal of the Star League is no small matter—it carries immense responsibility and pressure. Are you truly ready for that?”

Enzo took a deep breath, locking eyes with Stephen Curry, his resolve unwavering. “Mr. Stephen, I am ready. I’m willing to face any trials and evaluations to prove I have the ability to take on this role.”

Stephen Curry nodded, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. “Good, then we’ll give you a chance. However, before that, you’ll need to pass a series of tests and evaluations. Only when you’ve proven you have the leadership and wisdom to lead the Star League will I officially appoint you as Chief Marshal.”

Enzo felt a surge of excitement and anticipation within him. He knew this was a rare opportunity, as well as a massive challenge. But he believed that with enough effort, he would be able to fulfill the role.

“I am willing to accept the trials and evaluations,” Enzo said solemnly.

Stephen Curry smiled and nodded. “Excellent. Then let’s begin. The first test will be an assessment of your leadership and decision-making skills. I will arrange a series of simulated scenarios and tasks for you. You will need to make decisions within the given time frame and lead your team to complete those tasks.”

“Alright. When is it?” Enzo asked.

“Tomorrow,” Stephen Curry replied. “It’s getting late today, so we’ll rest for now.”

After returning to the dormitory, Enzo gathered everyone together.

“Everyone, we are about to face a new challenge,” Enzo said firmly, standing in front of the group.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around, their faces showing serious expressions. They knew that the test Enzo was referring to was likely something significant.

“Mr. Stephen has proposed that I take on the role of Chief Marshal of the Star League, but before that, I must pass a series of trials and evaluations,” Enzo continued. “These trials will be a comprehensive test of our team’s strength and our ability to cooperate.”

“Enzo Lord, we believe in you! You can do this!” Jordan was the first to speak up, his eyes filled with trust and support for Enzo.

“That’s right, Enzo Lord. We will fully cooperate with you to pass every trial!” Bruce Brown added in agreement.

The other team members also expressed their full support for Enzo. As he looked at their determined faces, Enzo felt a warm surge of emotion. He knew that with such a united and strong team behind him, he could overcome any challenge.

“Alright, then let’s begin preparing,” Enzo said. “Tomorrow’s first trial will be an assessment of my leadership and decision-making abilities. Mr. Stephen will set up a series of simulated scenarios and tasks for us, and we need to make decisions within a given time frame and lead the team to complete those tasks.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, signaling that they understood. They gathered around Enzo and began discussing strategies. Jordan suggested several potential simulated scenarios and tasks. Bruce Brown analyzed the possible challenges and difficulties that might arise in those situations. Kehl proposed how his archery skills could support the team. Liliana, as the core strategist, began to coordinate the overall plan, drafting an initial action strategy.

Cruise Main and Charcot also actively participated in the discussion, offering their own insights and suggestions. Together, through their combined efforts, they put together an initial plan.

“Alright, everyone, you should get some rest,” Enzo said. “We need to be in top condition to face tomorrow’s trial.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, then went to their respective rooms to rest. Enzo remained in the living room, continuing to think about the upcoming trial and the strategies they would need. He knew this test wasn’t just about his personal honor and status—it was about the future of both Alfa Planet and the Star League. He had to give his all and couldn’t afford to let his guard down.
