The Newbie Is Too Strong's
165. Surviving Skills by Attacking
That afternoon, I got an unexpected phone call.
The penelopon was the Coach Maiden from the Silver Hero Club who suddenly offered me a good match-training partner who he said would be even better than Senior Asario.
Hearing that, of course I was immediately tempted and without a second thought immediately headed there.
Who would have thought that the person that Coach Miss Angela was referring to was herself.
“Why? Are you not satisfied with Mom as opposed to your match train?”
“No, no, Miss Coach.”
Of course I doubt that a coach is still a coach who only focuses on the physical development and skills of his students. Their own physiques and skills had faded, long buried eaten of age. It is impolite that I have to fight players who have long retired themselves from the world of e-sport vrmmorpg.
But that's where Lia spoke, though,
“Did I not tell you yet, Luca, that I was the direct protege of the legendary former battle healer Angel?”
“Yes, it feels like I've heard of it from Kak Yurika.”
“He is the coach Angel who now still maintains his fifth rank as the best player in The Last Gardenia.”
Instantly I gasped. I did not expect that this tall, fragile woman who did not emit any dangerous aura in front of me was also such a great player.
Knowing that, I did not hesitate any longer in accepting his challenge.
But when the first round started, I could immediately feel the huge gap difference between us. Unfortunately, Miss Riska Angela is far above.
The game is so pretty. He was gentle in attacking using his weak fist. However, unlike his looks, each fist of his could bring about instant kill.
In just a single blow, the ground around the collapsed was instantly swept away by the fist.
Not only that made things worse for me, this mature woman before me had absolutely no loopholes.
Now I have come to believe that she is Lia's teacher. Obviously their form was like the fruit falling not far from the tree, but of course, this teacher before me, was much more powerful than Lia.
To just hang on, I was so overwhelmed.
“Listen, Luca. The best defense is attack. Your class is an assassin. You think how much the assassin's power is in surviving, huh?! You think you are a shield so you are in a defensive position?!”
Instantly I was awakened by the words of Miss Riska Angela. I have lost a long time ago when I chose to stay. I should have just kept attacking. Thus, the chances of winning would be much higher.
And thus, I was defeated by Miss Coach Riska Angela in the first round.
We went out into the real world for a moment and I tried to chat with him.
“Why is Coach Mom willing to bother taking the precious Coach Mom's time just to keep me company?”
“Kan told you before, that I am interested in you who managed to attract the attention of my favorite students, not just one, even both.”
“Ah, Lia and Senior Asario.”
To my words, Miss Riska Angela seemed to nod slowly.
“Both are basically similar. They are the selfish type of players who only think about themselves to improve. Unlike Asario who showed it with hard training, Lia actually showed it with heartfelt deeds that she did when and wherever she liked without her wanting anyone to forbid it. But basically they are both the same. They will never be interested in anyone else, unless that person is special.”
“So, I'm that special person, Coach Ma'am.”
Miss Riska Angela also smiled wryly at my words. He continued, too,
Mom Riska Angela, who had been looking ahead, turned to me.
“Is Luca thinking about joining a professional club? Although it is impossible to enroll you as a full student at Yayasan Eden Branch Indonesia High School, you can be a special student as an adjutant to Lia. It just so happens that Lia still has one, namely Andra. Each child of high status can submit as many as two aides. By enrolling in that school, I can immediately recommend you to join our Silver Hero Club.”
However, against Ms. Riska Angela's statement, I have long decided to refuse because my intentions will not waver anymore.
“Maybe joining a team here that has won the international level vrmmorpg e-sport tournament is a tempting offer. But there's already Mark on this team. My existence is no longer necessary. I need a team where my whereabouts are needed and I have decided on that team.”
“Which team?” Curiously, Miss Riska Angela asked.
“Club White Star.”
After hearing the steady answer from my mouth, Miss Riska Angela looked fickle. He initially looked disappointed, but a moment later a bright smile shone back on his face.
“Well, I actually want to have you. But as an opponent, you are not bad either. Your existence will increase the potential of my students. But, Luca...why did you choose the White Star Club instead? The club is now..”
It looks like Miss Riska Angela hesitated in the middle of her words so she immediately stopped saying that.
Seeing my expression empty because I did not know what she meant, Ms. Riska Angela immediately understood and continued to say it, but it did not seem to be the first thing she wanted to say.
“Well, White Star Club is not a bad club either. There are also talented players like Malik and Brian. I'm also far from the bottom of my heart hoping that they can solve their internal problems soon.”
There seems to be something of a problem that is currently happening in the White Star Club. However, I who have not even been anyone they are, let alone interfere, asking him directly would certainly be considered disrespectful.
However, whatever is the case, as Ms. Riska Angela said just now, so that they can handle it well.
But just in case, I will try to find out through Kirana.
The break time is over and the match practice in the second round begins. Thanks to the match practice with Miss Riska Angela, I better understand the concept of defending by attacking which of course is very useful for me who is an assassin who has a very weak defensive.
There are several tricks I imitate from him about how to direct the opponent's weapon to the avoidance point while attacking using the blind spot and locking the opponent's movements.
That day, after three rounds, I decided to end the match practice because I also considered the stamina of Bu Riska Angela who was already in her mid-thirty. Although he tried to cover up, but it looks like he has been very bored.
I love His spirit, but I don't want Him to push. So I also reasoned that there was an urgent activity today so that I could no longer continue his match practice.
Although I do have activities after this, namely training with Brother Silvia, but it is actually not something urgent now so if only the stamina of Bu Riska Angela looks good, it is not, maybe I will stay in this place to continue my match practice with him.
Train match also ended with a score of 3 – 0. Of course it was a crushing defeat for me. Apparently a high-level veteran figure like Miss Riska Angela is still very far out of my reach.
There is still a lot I need to learn again in this world because there are still many players out there who are much tougher than me, including the middle-aged woman standing before me at the moment.
But for now, I have been content to learn defensive skills by attacking from him.
I was going home at the time, but suddenly, Miss Riska Angela came back to greet me again.
“Do you also often train match with Syarifuddin, Luca?”
“No, why Miss Coach? Is he also a great person?”
“What did you say? He's the former number one tanker on Mom's team, the impenetrable tanker, SIN. You saw the rankings yourself in The Last Gardenia right? She still survives to this point at rank 4 just above Mother. In addition to the 3 genius students from America, no longer can beat the score of the game Syarifuddin.”
Suddenly, another shocking piece of information had to be digested by my brain. I did not think that the teacher who is practically not separated from the numbers every time teaching in the classroom is also a former professional player who excels brilliantly in the field of e-sport vrmmorpg.
It is fitting that Mr. Kepsek highly recommended him as the coach of our club, although his decision was strongly opposed by the fierce BK teacher who was very close to Mr. Kepsek.
I don't know why the intention suddenly appeared in my heart, how I wanted to train a match with Him.
