I Got The Gacha System In Another World
Accidents in the Arena
There are ten students in each class and they represent each class. Of course Alex has not been in line since he lost a few days ago.
“Class challenges start now. We will give an opportunity to the E-Class representative to choose his opponent first.”
The cheers of the audience signified that the challenge had begun.
“Arwin student, please choose your opponent,” Arwin is the number 10 student in class E. He was an 18-year-old warrior with pointy yellow hair and a cheeky-looking face.
“I choose Caroline students from D” class
Caroline was ranked 9th in D class yesterday. When everyone saw Arwin choosing Caroline as his opponent, everyone booed him. Both of them had the same strength, that of a rank 1 warrior.
"Wuu..."
"Challenging a woman? Be a man!"
"You wanker!"
Arwin shamelessly walked into the arena as if he had not heard any scorn.
"Please relax with me" said Caroline politely.
His long white hair fluttered in the air as he greeted him.
"...."
Arwin did not answer him and chose to remain silent.
"Game begins!"
As the match began, Arwin immediately attacked Caroline while swinging his sword. This sudden action caught Caroline off guard. He desperately dodged, but it was too late because his left hand was still injured.
"Wuu..."
“You don't have any knights. You can only use sneaky attacks.”
Arwin ignores them and slashes his sword at Caroline but this time the girl is able to dodge her slash completely. After the previous attack, Caroline increased her alertness to the maximum. He instantly repelled his attack and sent another swing towards him. The pain from his wound was felt as he moved his hand, but he chose to endure it. Don't want to look weak in front of others.
Now, it was Arwin's turn to be shocked. She thought a woman like her would not be able to endure the pain when she was injured. So he immediately slashed at him to end the match. But not only did he not scream but he also counterattacked at her.
Caroline saw a hint of shock on Arwin's face and she took the opportunity and swung her sword at Arwin's center of gravity. Arwin repelled the attack but lost his balance. In the end, he fell to the ground and Caroline did not waste this opportunity, she directly pointed her sword at Arwin's throat.
“Final match. Caroline wins!”
Cheers again broke from the audience, especially when he saw Arwin who shamelessly lost to him. Realizing this, Arwin's face turned pale because he knew he would not get a place in the academy anymore.
"Dietle!!"
"You reap what you sow, shameless!"
"Buckoo..."
Caroline left the arena to treat her injuries.
Seeing that, Alex praised him, “He has a lot of fighting experience.”
Alicia and Firia were shocked as Alex commented about her.
They were determined inwardly, 'I won't lose'.
Firia who lost in the 2nd round could still take on the challenge as the S class only numbered 20 people. The rules say as long as they win once, they will get in the top 10.
“Next match, class E, please select your opponent.”
The challenge continued for two hours. The win rate of the lower class against the upper class was thirty percent.
Finally the challenge of class A begins and their target is class S.
“I chose Miss Firia as my opponent,” who said it was an 18-year-old young man, although he was not handsome, he was still above average.
She liked Firia very much, so she used this opportunity to show her ability. He fixed his short blue hair while waiting for him.
"Alex, I'm leaving," Firia told Alex.
"mmm...Careful," Alex nodded.
Hearing Alex's reply, Alicia was jealous and pouted. Instead, Firia became excited after hearing him encourage her. He is determined to win this match.
"Please, just relax to me," Firia said politely.
"If I win, I can teach you, Miss Firia. We have enough time to train together later. Of course, in class S, I will guide you 'thoroughly'," he gulped his saliva at the sight of Firia's fiery figure.
Firia underestimated him, 'What do you mean by 'wholly'? you bastard, I'll make sure you don't have a chance to enter S's class'
"Game begins!"
“Fire on my body, listen to my orders. Create yourself as a ball to burn my enemies,” shouted the two fighters simultaneously.
"FIRE BALLS!"
The reason he said he wanted to guide Firia was because he was confident in his Fire Element. But the results were not according to plan.
He released three fireballs, while Firia released four fireballs. Since their numbers were not the same, one of the fireballs of Firia blew it up.
Firia only showed three fireballs in yesterday's match. So he thought he could win because he could use three fireballs as well. It never crossed her mind that Firia was actually not hiding her full strength. He felt regret for underestimating her. He thought he could defeat him with his weapon.
"Fyria won!"
Audience cheering. Of course many of them are Firia fans.
Firia simply ignored them and returned to her seat.
“How was my fight, Alex?”
"As long as you're not hurt, it's okay" he nodded.
She smiled brightly at Alex while Alicia pouted again. The challenge continued for a while. After the eighth challenge, this time Joshua was chosen. Those who have been challenged cannot be chosen again. There were only two people left, Joshua and Alicia.
Joshua's challenger was a rank 1 peak warrior. The soldier wants to emulate how Alex won from Joshua. But since Alex was a rank 3 warrior while he was a rank 1 warrior, he lost easily.
Now is the time for the last match, which is a fight between Garu Tekuis, the 3rd rank swordsman vs Alicia.
"Daughter."
"What's that?"
"Be careful. I'd rather see you lose than see you get hurt" Alex said anxiously.
He was worried because his opponent was a rank 3 warrior, just like him. He himself knew very well how powerful he really was. However he never expected Alicia to be much stronger just because of the two bottles of Spiritual Fluids he gave her yesterday.
Alicia smiled, “Alright, I'll be careful.”
“Princess, I advise you to give up now so as not to get hurt,” Garu said arrogantly. Rank 1 and rank 3 had a huge difference in strength.
“I will try not to disappoint him,” he glanced at Alex.
"Him?" Garu also glanced towards Alex, “If it was him that I would fight today, I might lose to him. But since I have to fight with you, Princess, even though you have a rare element of ice, you are still a rank 1 magician. So in the end I'll win."
“We can only see the result after the game.”
"Game begins!"
"ICE SPEAR!"
Alicia immediately cast her magic. Many were surprised by her magic because Alicia did not even cast a spell. Even Alex was surprised by it.
Ever since Alex's first magic training, he's been surprised by Alex's talent. After that, he trained hard to chase after her. His competitive nature surged from then on, and he was unwilling to lose to Alex.
Looking at him now, Alex smiled faintly. Although Alex still had not received it in his heart, this little intention still stirred his heart. At least, there was someone who positively followed him even though it was a rival. It can make one heart smile a little.
Four ice spears attacked Garu and the man avoided her while closing the distance between her and Alicia. When the spear missed its target and stuck on the ground, they instantly disappeared. Alicia made another ice spear and attacked Garu.
The rakes continued to dodge them, the distance with Alicia shrinking to just a few more meters. Alex became worried after seeing this.
When Garu arrived in front of him, he swung his sword at him. Alicia tried to fend off her slash with her wand. Although he managed to block it, the power left behind by the swing managed to blow it up.
But before he was charmed by it, he cast magic between them.
"ICE BALL"
An ice ball appeared between Garu and him which eventually exploded. This caused a terrible shock wave.
As Alicia was fascinated by the power of the Garu, she did not face the shockwave directly from the ball while Garu was blown away by her ice ball.
Alicia immediately did another casting, "ICE SPEAR!"
Yes, this is the advantage of using magic without singing. They could use magic continuously, as long as they could shape it. If they use singing, as long as the singing is interrupted, the magic fails.
Four spears flew into Garu, two into his body, and the other two at his neck. It paralyzed.
"Alicia won!"
The cheers became splashy as a rank 1 mage managed to defeat a rank 3 warrior. This was quite shocking news for everyone in the arena.
As everyone was cheering on Alicia, Alex only frowned, 'The gap between rank 1 and rank 3 is huge but he can win, Garu seems like he is also inexperienced.' Alex pondered this for a moment, 'Power leveling? Garu did not hunt the monster alone, but did anyone else hunt him down, then he killed them? This is the most inexplicable answer at the moment.'
It took a while for Garu to realize that she had lost, 'I? Rank 3 lost to rank 1? Impossible.'
Garu stand, “Not possible, not possible. I'm a rank 3 warrior who lost to him?”
Alex frowned and he stood up. He read many stories of narrow-minded people attacking Alicia while saying 'dead', wanting to kill her without thinking about the consequences. Alex formed a fireball the size of a hand, he pinched the ball as it began to expand backwards like drawing an arrow.
“Alex?”
Firia noticed Alex's movements. He was confused by his actions.
"Dead!"
Garu attacked Alicia with killing intent. It really happened like the story Alex used to read. The referee had no time to react.
"Bad!"
Finally, many teachers were angry. But they also did not have time to react to protect Alicia.
Alex releases the ball and it flies towards the ground between Alicia and Garu. Of course it's closer to Garu because Alex doesn't want to hurt Alicia.
When the ball hits the arena, it explodes. The shockwave caused the Garu to fly and drop it...
After a while, they finally realized what had just happened. They suddenly looked at the direction the ball came from. They looked at Alex who was still in a bow drawing pose.
The teachers immediately headed for the arena to calm the situation down. A middle-aged man came to Garu to check on his condition. He was immediately angry.
"You bastard!" he attacked Alex.
He slashed a punch at Alex and he reacted as he made a fire shield to block the attack. Even so, the fist still threw him down and injured him.
This time, it was the dean who was angry, "How dare you!"
The Dean attacked him and severely injured him, then he examined Alex's wounds.
"Are you okay, Alex?"
“I'm fine, Teacher, this is just a minor deep wound.”
The dean sighed.
“You...you...why did you hurt me?” the middle-aged man glared at the dean.
“What do you think you're doing, injuring my student like that? Do you think I'm just a friend,” the dean is angry at the old man.
“But, he hurt my nephew. He's not a participant!”
The middle-aged man was Garu's uncle, David Tekuis.
“He dared to attack the Princess with killing intent despite losing in front of everyone in the arena,” Alex broke the silence.
“You. There are still referees in the arena.”
"If he can react before something happens, then I won't release my magic. But he had no chance to react."
"You...He had a chance to react, he was a rank 6 warrior, he had to have time to react. So you should be punished. Otherwise, the Dean seems to be abusing his position."
The referee came to them.
“See, the referee is here. You have time to stop Garu, right?”
He gave a threatening look at her.
He heard about the referee who was after Alex yesterday and managed to disqualify him. So he's sure this referee will help him too. Unfortunately, the referee was replaced. The referee was previously injured because the dean hit him hard yesterday.
But because David did not follow the match yesterday, he did not know the change of referee.
"I didn't have time to react to the previous attack. This is my fault and endangers the Princess. I'm ready to accept my punishment" he's ashamed of his mistake.
He never expected Garu to dare kill Alicia, "If this young man didn't cast his magic back then, I can't imagine what would happen next," he pointed at Alex.
“You... How can you say such a thing?”
“I will report this to His Majesty with everyone as his witness. It seems the Count wants to rebel,” the dean snorts.
