68. Zircon - Girls's

The last game of the quarter-finals today was my match against a woman named Valerie who was scheduled to be played in a few moments. My estimate missed I thought I was going to fight Opal in the next game in the semifinals. Well it seems fun to fight against one of my best friends in a serious duel like this. Surely after I managed to defeat Valerie first in the quarter-finals in a moment.

How shocked I was that Opal had to admit defeat at the hands of Simone. Indeed Opal was a bit unlucky in gear selection, Simone's twin whip weapon was far superior to the spear, the weapon used for Opal gear. Twin Whips are flexible, lightweight and have a wide range and variety of attacks. While the spear used by Opal is stronger but more rigid and difficult to move and the number of variations of attacks that can be done is very limited.

And one more advantage as well as weakness Opal is his brain is too diluted. His brain thinks too much about things. Making him too much consideration, too thinking about the strategy in every move and attack he will do. He should be able to be more free in fighting, let his instincts play more than his brain.

Moreover, to fight his opponent Simone in the match earlier, Simone is a type of fighter that is very unexpected in every movement. His fighting style was also as eccentric as his appearance but there was no doubt that he was a great gear master. It was a little horrified to imagine Simone's combat ability, but somehow my blood was even turbulent and made me even more excited to be able to fight against her.

After all the cleaning and repair process of the arena was completed, the committee called my name to the hangar gear. I raised my hand in response to their call then I walked leisurely fulfilling the call towards the hangar gear.

There is no process of saying goodbye or asking for spirit this time. Jasper and Saphir I told them to return to the inn first, I told them to rest after this hard day. They don't have to wait and attend my matches.

I saw Jasper still a little shocked at his defeat against Jade earlier, after his first experience of fighting with earnest gear and risking his life and death, risking his life. Maybe Jasper was a little disappointed and depressed with his inability to become the champion of this tournament. So I decided it was better for him to rest at the inn to calm down.

As soon as I reached the hangar I found the yellow gear already standing upright on the gear pad waiting for me. Without further ado kunaiki and I checked the statistics and equipment. I smiled realizing how much the god of luck was on my side. My gear this time was armed with two rifles, the weapon I liked the most besides the sword.

The gear this time is decent, not too dilapidated or damaged. The equipment and spare parts in the coccock are also still good and work well. I grabbed both of my rifles, I also brought some spare bullets that the committee had provided there for me.

Immediately I spread my gear from the hangar and I compared it to the arena of the match. There I found my opponent standing upright with brown gear with double disc guns in both hands.

"Hello everything's still in the spirit this afternoon? In a moment we will see the last game of the quarter-finals. Today's final match between Mr. Zircon and his yellow gear against Miss Valerie with her brown gear" there was the voice of the referee who echoed throughout the arena followed by the roar and cheers of the audience from all directions. "Don't miss the last chance to bet today. Make sure you choose who the winner of the game is and go to the next round appropriately"

"All right, let's start our match. Are you ready?....Gooooo!!" the referee fired a gun into the air as a sign of the start of the match.

As soon as the referee declared the match to start I immediately aimed my rifle at my opponent, I fired a continuous shot at my opponent. I forced him to dodge and continued to dodge my attacks without being able to counterattack. Sometimes the weapons we get or use to fight do greatly affect the final result of the game. Well it all comes back to luck for this tournament situation.

After a few minutes, we continued to play like cats. With me continuing to shoot him and Valerie flying around dodging every shot of mine, it seemed like she didn't know how to use her double disc, she only used it occasionally to attack me from close range. Though it should if used by a professional person the weapon can be thrown and will return to its owner by itself like a double boomerang.

I don't want to spend my bullets to keep playing with him, I attack again my enemy's brown gear with a continuous shot to make it a hassle to avoid, to make him lose balance and complete control of the gear. And after I had that moment, I immediately aligned my two rifles together. I focused the shot of the two rifles on one point in Valerie's brown gear chest.

I gave up my inner strength to bring out the fire chi that fused with my bullet shot. The two fire bullets were travelling at a very fast pace and of course Valerie who did not expect my attack was not prepared to take them. There was a very loud bang when both bullets managed to penetrate the body of my opponent's brown gear, catapulting the body of the gear for several meters and burning the gear slowly, the fire was treated from the gunshot wound I was emitting earlier.

"A, I, I give up.Help me." Valerie said in a tone of confusion and fear from inside her gear.

Upon hearing Valerie's surrender sentence, the referee declared my victory and the cash heard the cheers of my victory roar in all directions. I watched carefully no one would heed Valerie's plea for help. Not even the committee rushed to help him, saving him from the flames that burned his gear and his own body...

Regardless of all the noise and excitement around me, I approached my enemy gear which was still lying helplessly on the arena floor. I took out the ice chi in my palm to extinguish the fierce blazing flames on the body of the gear. Immediately I force open the gear with my fists, I pull out Valerie's body, trapped, pinned and wrapped around by the wires and equipment inside the coccockid. It was only fitting that he could not get out and save himself from the burning gear, I helped him get his body out of his gear cocoon with my gear hand.

From my gear screen I could see Valerie's body that was already suffocated with oxygen, she looked at me with a hard-to-understand look. I put the girl's body on my left hand and then I carefully spread my gear back to the hangar.

Crush my gear as smooth as possible in the hangar gearpad, not wanting to give too loud a shock to the passengers in my gear hand. I exited the cockpit after turning off the entire button on my gear, and jumped down from my gear. Valerie also leaped down from the palm of my gear, she approached me with a slight hesitation.

"Er, Um...Mr. Zircon. Thank you for helping me." Valerie said, approaching me with a dead red face.

"Sama-sama," I replied.

"You, you are very kind and handsome sir... Hopefully, hopefully you can win the tournament this year."

Without being able to prevent me suddenly the girl had already shook my hand, then hugged my body and continued by lightly kissing my cheek before passing away running away from me out of the hangar gear in a hurry. Makes me dumb, confused to see his aggressive behavior. What the fuck?

"Well, Mr. Zircon is not just a fighting expert. You're also very smart to seduce women." A voice with a cynical tone greeted me, from the tone of his voice it seemed like he was being very upset about something.

I sharpened my vision and I could see a red-haired girl looking at me with a piercing look from one corner of the hangar. Ruby's! Since when was he there? Why didn't I realize it? I saw the sweet face of the girl looking scowled, bent and dark aura surrounding her.

"Miss Ruby," Sapaku came a little closer to her. I don't know why my heart always blooms when I see this girl's face, even just to meet and greet her. My happiness was growing more and more realizing that he still remembered my name, even greeting me...

Ruby did not answer my greeting, her face was getting frowning with pursed lips.

"Huuuh," he turned his face away from me violently, then just passed by leaving me towards the hangar door.

Now I stay alone in the hangar dumbstruck with confusion with Ruby's attitude earlier.

"Is he mad at me?" My group is getting in no way thinking of seeing it

"Why? Did I make a mistake with him?" I asked myself again.

Usually I will not care about the feelings of others, but this time why there is another side of me that can not ignore the expression of the annoyed and angry face of Ruby earlier.

I don't know why it's so hard for me to know and understand other people's feelings. I rarely can guess my opponent's way of thinking and speaking, especially if she is a 'woman'. This one creature is indeed very troublesome and difficult to understand with all its complexity.

Without being able to get as hard an answer as I could and however I thought about it, I finally decided to just leave the hangar and return to my inn to rest.
