The Newbie Is Too Strong's
122. Controversy Full Individual Match Begins
Right at one that afternoon, the qualifying round of 128 selected individuals from the top 32 teams began. And Lia from the Silver Hero Team became the participant with the first sequence number that would follow the qualifying round.
“Nona!”
Just as Lia was about to step into the arena, Andra intercepted her by shouting at her from behind.
“Spirit!” Andra said with eyes full of hope.
“Ck.” Lia clicked her tongue.
The woman was somehow unable to look directly into the eyes of the person who had always been inflated it.
“Stupid! You also in the next opportunity must strive for yourself.”
“Good, Miss!”
Hearing Andra answer him with a tone of voice that was without vibration and filled with confidence, Lia finally looked at his face. He also witnessed Andra's sincere smile, giving her support to fight for the best.
Somehow seeing Andra's sincere smile back then, made Lia slightly moved. His determination to win is increasingly passionate, but in the past he was only half serious about participating in all this competition.
Until when Lia announced her determination to Luca, Lia did not expect high, which clearly she could show a cool and tough figure in front of her boyfriend by targeting at least the top 8 champions of team matches.
But now after watching Andra who had to be dashed in the middle of the road in a slightly disappointing way like that, Lia this time became serious about aiming for the best position.
He did not expect from the beginning himself and Andra was able to enter the round of the individual qualifying round about each year only selected as many as 32 best participants from the top 32 teams after the determination of the champion of the match tim's.
Who would have thought that this year the rules of the game suddenly changed and from the top 32 teams were instantly overhauled to 128 individual participants. With this change, Lia also thought that they should both be able to qualify for the individual qualifying round.
In fact, only he escaped while Andra did not.
But that doesn't mean he can complain because he respects and judges his three graduating seniors are also very talented, especially to Asario.
It's just that Andra has struggled and showed his best performance for the team during the third round of the team's preliminary round. Thinking of that made Lia feel a little disappointment mixed with sympathy for Andra.

Meanwhile on the bench, Luca, Nina, Raia, and Judith had been waiting at the front row after learning that Lia had taken the first turn in the individual qualifying round.
“Hey, isn't this a little disappointing, Luca? How can they stop a team match until the top 32 only. We all wonder who the strongest team is. You also must be curious about where the Silver Hero Team and Max Squeeze Team can go?”
“That's true too, Sister Nina. I'm sure with their abilities, the Silver Hero Team will at least at least at least reach the last eight. As for the Max Squeeze Team may soon be eliminated in the top 32. But what can be done, it's the decision of the committee. More than that, I was more curious about the favorite marks 1 to 16 in some of the participants.”
“You're focusing on it? I'm also not sure this has just happened this year. But take the example of a regular sports match, though, it is usually used as a mechanism so that strong players do not immediately meet at the beginning and are eliminated at the beginning so that the peak of the fun of the match can gather right at the moment of the end of the game.”
“Lantas why don't they mark a single Lia with that sign?”
Seeing Luca say something ridiculous with that innocent expression, Raia who had been beside him was laughing giggling.
“You must be very proud of your girlfriend huh, Luca.”
“Yes, that's of course. Lia is a cool girl.”
“Yes, I know Lia is very talented during observing all three of her matches. But this is a vast world. There are still many more talented among the talented. Well, although the assessment of favorites and non-favorites is also still relative anyway. Everything will return to the ability of each participant in the end.”
Confidently and with a straight look, Nina expressed her opinion.
Not long after, Lia and her opponent started to climb into the arena.
...\=\=\= ...
...Lia – Silver Hero – Indonesia – The Last Gardenia...
...Vs ...
...\=\=\= ...
Lia's opponent was none other than the thorn-whipped woman witnessed by Luca during the fifteenth session match in the second round of the team's previous match.
With a warning from the match referee, the match 1 on 1 was started.
Deftly, Casandra immediately flung her durian whip towards Lia. But surprisingly, Lia did not dodge the attack and instead chose a close-quarter fight with her Evony silat outfit instead of choosing to fight through her heroin magic gun remotely.
But unexpectedly, the whips did not hurt Lia in the least. It was because apparently Lia had applied mana protection all over her body that was completely impenetrable by Casandra's thorn whip.
Lia kept crashing until it reached Casandra players then punched him with raw bogeman many times. Many times and many times until Casandra was battered and eliminated in the arena.
An easy win for Lia in the first round individual match in that first session.
Individual matches were then resumed in the second session. It was Leo and a player from the third round winning team in the twelfth session in virtual room A whose match was not impressive enough for Luca.
...\=\=\= ...
...Leo – Max Squeeze – United States – The Last Blood...
...Vs ...
...Adalrich – Pheles – Germany – Mecha World...
...\=\=\= ...
It was a match between bullets and metarobots.
At first glance, it seemed impossible for a cadet armed with a gun to break through the metastatic and steel defenses of such an extremely sturdy mecha creature. But here we are talking about Leo.
With his powers beyond imagination for an ordinary cadet, Leo is able to abort that view.
And it was proven in the game.
At the expense of his shot gap time becoming longer, the impact of Leo's attack becomes many times stronger so that in an instant it is able to form a hole in the chest of the robot suit and the player who is in it.
It was an easy win for Leo.
After that, the match went on for 32 matches. The remaining 32 matches are held in another virtual room, the virtual room B.
Quite a lot of players caught Luca's attention.
There is Goruth the assassin from Team Lost Child who is the 12th favorite title holder who is in the same group as Lia.
There is also Eros, the lancer of Team Goliath, the 4th favorite title holder who still remains with his amazing spear game.
Then entering the ninth match, where Luca watched the fight 1 on 1 Toni, one of Lia's colleagues who also qualified for the individual qualifying round. His opponent is the 4th rank of Team Exdeus, Kim Woojin.
Who would have thought that in addition to having a solid defense with the style of his Sarwendah series, the Silver Hero Team shield was also able to defeat opponents in the air.
“Skill: envy Sarwendah.”
Toni shouted her skill and instantly the movement of the opponent in the air became strange.
Toni then threw her shield into the air and once again shouted her skill.
“Skill: gluttony Sarwendah.”
Instantly the shield that had been in the air in a position parallel to the hovering exdeus player let out snakes with full gluttony, devour the player's sci-fi device and the player in it which eventually makes the player a gameover.
