That morning, Luca immediately rushed to Lia's match venue. Although the match started at 9 o'clock, Luca decided to go to the room before eight so that he and the group could get a more comfortable place to watch the important match.
At 9 o'clock, the participants of the seventh session match in group C began to arrive on stage.
“Duuuuung, tiut tit tit tit tit tit, duuuuuung.”
The music roar with a stagnant tone that gives a tense feel ushered in the steps of participants to the middle of the arena.
Seen there, apparently the players representing the Silver Hero Team in this first round match were the exact same team combination as the last time they used in the previous national level final round match.
They are Asario, Toni, Andra, Mark, and Lia.
In addition to the Silver Hero Team, there were also 3 other teams that would participate in that match as their opponents.
One of the most powerful looks is the Bourjuin Team, which consists of players who appear to come from the metarobot game genre where they wear a kind of robot suit to fight.
There is also a team that looks exactly the same as the old version of The Last Gardenia, namely The Ninth Elvendia, where the players are all composed of elf characters. Only, the naming of their character classes is slightly different where there are thief characters whose function is exactly the same from the combination of assassin and scout. They are Team Vdol.
Lastly, as well as the weakest among them is a nyeleneh game character from Thailand. Yes, they are one of the representatives of Thailand who obtained the 1st rank in their home country, Tim Puririn, which consists of beautiful men in magical girl costumes, except one person with a sturdy body, apparently her gender is a woman.
Players, one by one, begin to connect themselves to the bodies of their avatars in the virtual world.
Then then, with the start of the match code from the match referee, the match officially began.
As always, all players are transferred to different places at random.
The players begin to communicate with each other among their teammates.
There are teams that prioritize gathering with the closest team members first like Team Puririn.
There are teams that immediately take a high position to stalk the movements of other opponents such as Andra and two archers from Team Vdol.
There was a team that immediately chose to hide to plan an impromptu attack like Mark and the other two team members from the thief-class Vdol Team.
There were even those who were very confident of allowing themselves in an open position to lure the opponent towards him first. He is not Asario, but a player from the Bourjuin Team who seems to be the leader of their team like Asario.
Throwing away his arrogance, Asario was more concerned with the team than his individual passion of wanting to stand out great to be noticed by the talent scouts from the Hero Academy who had once rejected him outright.
Asario also began to lead to coordinate the movement of his team.
“How, Andra? You're already in position?”
“Yes, I've just been in position, Senior. I will immediately track down the traces of both the archer from Team Vdol and a sniper from that Bourjuine Team once they unleash its power.”
But a moment later, Andra's tone of voice became heavier,
“Wait, Senior. You must be vigilant. They are near Senior.”
“I know, a chief thief from Vdol right? I've realized it. Since then he's been hiding behind me.”
A moment later, Asario seemed to have just realized that the selection of the editor said Andra there was something a little strange. He continued to say, too,
“Wait, them? She's not alone?”
“No, that's not the thief I'm talking about, Senior, but those robots. They are two and are moving quickly from the front of Senior!”
Just after Andra said that, the two players from the Bourjuin Team actually appeared before Asario.
“Yes, they appear as you say. Ok, I'll handle them here. You just focus on your task.”
However, it was not the confirmation answer given by Andra, but panic through his words.
“Hey, what's up, Andra? Hey?”
Asario tried to ascertain Andra's condition, but Andra did not answer Asario's question, but immediately sent his telepathy to his other teammates.
“Nona Lia, dodge!”
Apparently, Andra had just managed to track down the trail of one of the archers of the Vdol Team after unleashing his power. Unfortunately, the target targeted by the archer turned out to be his own teammate, Lia.
However, now that Lia has level-ups, thanks to the gift given by Luca to her earlier during their date in the Kingdom of Indiya.
Lia swiftly turned towards the direction the arrow came from after she felt the impact through the changes in the surrounding wind grooves, then immediately shot the arrow with his magic-type heroine gun so that the arrow exploded in the air.
It is the right step made by Lia after seeing the data of the opposing players during a meeting with his previous team.
The elf's arrow wasn't an arrow.
The shock it caused was so devastating that if Lia chose to dodge the attack instead of accepting it, it would, it would only shake its balance through the surrounding vibrating ground due to the momentum of the attack which made it not escape again if the second arrow attack was launched.
“Ck.” The archer was so displeased that his first impromptu attack failed. But he quickly returned to his consciousness then immediately left the place first with his skill before the players from the other team managed to find his trace.
“Mark!” Andra who was relieved Lia survived then immediately called Mark to execute his task.
“Siap, leave it to me.”
Leisurely, Mark stepped over each branch soundlessly.
The archer looks very confident that the opposing player will fail to track his tracks even after he floated one arrow.
It was thanks to the stealth skill and the shadowy steps he so glorified that it allowed him to immediately move away from where he had launched his first arrow 30 meters away.
But he was wrong. There is the stalker.. ahem.the scout Andra who once someone is marked by him, that person can never escape from his supervision again as great as any skill that person has.
That's because Andra has the skill I’ll follow you until death which although the name seems disgusting, but the ability is undoubtedly very useful. Andra can see the red thread that connects her to the opponent she is tracking as long as the person being tracked is still not gameover.
With a flash of lightning, completely unexpected by the archer who had lowered his guard, Mark slashed at the archer's neck without the slightest mercy. The first victim was determined.
One point the first victim fell in the hands of the Silver Hero Team.
