That night, The Last Gardenia's player rankings were just updated. I also saw Kak Krimson's ranking rise drastically from position 14 to position 7. Brother Krimson has really worked hard.
As for Senior Asario herself, she dropped down the rankings from 9th to 14th. Well, that's only natural because from Lia's description, since his defeat in the international e-sport vrmmorpg tournament, Senior Asario has more locked himself up to do physical training than game training.
At that time, I did not know him, but apparently the one last month was in 8th place and this month rose two places to 6th place is none other than one of the Lost Child members I have recently known in America, he said, Brother Kalora.
I had a chance to ask about why only he entered the leaderboard, while the other members were also very great. Apparently, Kak Kalora answered a very simple reason, precisely because they were too genius so that they even felt completely unchallenged to play it.
However, Kalora also had time to say that in addition to him, Kak Aghena also often actively play in the game The Last Gardenia. But why then, have I never seen his name on the top 20 leaderboard? Is it because Kak Aghena actually sucks in adventure games?
Given that in principle, tournament matches and adventure games do have a slightly different concept of finesse.
Well, forgetting that, there are two more players that make me very curious, namely Kak Malik and Kak Brian. As I recall, last month they had not entered the top 20 list. But this time they each occupy positions in the order of 20 and 16.
It could be because their skills are getting better. But it's weird. Because from the beginning, both Kak Malik and Kak Brian are both very talented players, but why is it only now active in the game?
It inevitably makes me wonder, especially the internal issues of their club that I heard from Ms. Riska Angela. It could be, it could be, they actually rose to the top 20 because they have so much free time that they put it into the game which means there is a fatal problem at the moment at their club which causes them to have so much a lot of that free time.
I don't want to be more worried about all that. Moreover, it is the club that I am currently aiming to enter.
You ask why? It was because I was actually a little amazed by Kak Malik's beautiful swordplay. After watching him play the sword, I began to imagine what kind of combination of attacks we would make if we fought together as comrades.
Unlike Senior Asario's cold sword style, despite the fire element of her aura, there is warmth behind Kak Malik's ice swordplay. I'm sure it certainly symbolizes his pure and clean soul. That kind of team member that I really want to make as a comrade-in-arms.
Hm. When it comes to rankings, there is no change at all in the top 5. Brother Duke, Brother Silvia, and Kak Agnes still master the chart each in positions one to three. Meanwhile in fourth position there is my coach, Mr. Syarifuddin, and in fifth position there is the coach of Silver Hero Club, Bu Riska Angela.
***
The next day, I met Mr. Syarifuddin and asked him about the match practice.
At first, Mr. Syarifuddin looked surprised, but after I told him that I knew his identity that was still active in the game The Last Gardenia through Bu Riska Angela aka player code name ANGEL which is one rank below who is none other than his former partner in his professional team first, he was fickle.
He asked me where I knew him from, and I answered the question that it was all thanks to Lia, my boyfriend, who introduced him. After that, there was a long conversation related to the current condition of Ms. Riska Angela who was asked by Mr. Syarifuddin.
Well, but it's not something that's important enough for you to know here, so I skipped to tell you the details.
Long story short, Mr. Syarifuddin received a request to train my tank.
When we started competing, I could feel the fruit falling not far from the tree as well as between the style of play of Mr. Syarifuddin with Senior Areka. Now I understand where Senior Areka's inspiration came from. It is only fitting that their relationship is very close.
Apparently, the relationship of Mr. Syarifuddin and Senior Areka is similar to the relationship of Bu Riska Angela with Lia.
But again of course the expertise of Mr. Syarifuddin as a Senior teacher of Areka, very far above it.
The defense shield of Mr. Syarifuddin was so sturdy without the slightest gap seen however I continued to attack in a twist to find it. As a result, I immediately lost to him in the first round.
In the later rounds, I tried to attack with various possibilities that could be on various sides, but still I did not find a gap. Including in His blind spot, He beautifully covered it through the reflection of a mirror on his shield so that there was absolutely no gap.
That's where I recalled the advice from Miss Riska Angela that the best defense is to attack.
Well, an assassin's skill was basically indeed his swift attack. We were not a swordsman from the start who could contend with the sturdy defense of a shield. We can only find a gap to attack.
Why did I forget one of my ways? I have rarely used it when I applied it, my body had to stop moving for a moment so that my defense would be wide open.
But as Miss Riska Angela said, the best defense is to attack. This move is very suitable to face defensive-type players with a gapless defense like Mr. Syarifuddin.
At that moment, it was entering the fifth round.
Once the cue of the match began, I immediately activated my thread-netting skill which was each connected to a sharp blade, a skill I learned from Kak Keporin.
I also attacked from various directions Mr. Syarifuddin using that style. But as I expected, Mr. Syarifuddin who had very sharp instincts was really able to dismiss all the attacks like just dismissing a collection of insects.
But that's not what matters. This had been enough to open up a little small gap on his defense.
Attack after attack even sharp blade thread nets I pointed to various corners of Mr. Syarifudin's defense without even a moment I gave him a pause to rest.
My attack was frankly exhausting to the point of draining my stamina so much. But it is worth the effectiveness of the results.
But of course this move will only be effective for shield-class players, because if my opponent is from another class such as a swordsman or fighter, then, of course they will come forward to attack me whose defense is so wide open about activating the move.
But unlike if the opponent was a shield focused on defense, they would not have had the time to go forward to attack me even if my defense was wide open like this, thanks to their extremely low agility.
But of course, I still have to be vigilant. However, even a shielder also still has a thrust skill that mashed his shield suddenly very quickly at the expense of almost all their remaining stamina.
But apparently, there is not a single sign that Mr. Syarifuddin will use it. This was only possible because he judged that I was wary of him. What to expect from a pro player who has eaten a lot of the salt acid of life.
Because if only his attack failed, then his remaining stamina will not be enough for him to be in his defensive position anymore so that even I who come from the assassin class will be able to break through the defense of the shield.
Considering that more harm happened than his advantage when activating the skill, Mr. Syarifuddin must be reluctant to use it, especially in my focus is still very vigilant.
If it was Senior Areka who was in front of me, then I would have destroyed it since the shield was easily only one time through a stab from the front. Pro players are completely different. Even without the aura, he can position the shield in a position that will not be easily broken.
However, it was enough to just get here that sturdy defense. I've found a gap.
“Dor dor dor.”
From the small gap formed from the defensive pattern of Mr. Syarifuddin facing my sharp blade thread netting, I fired a bullet that could no longer be avoided by him.
Even for a pro player like him, you would not expect that an assassin would attack using a gun. This can be one of my secret moves against strong opponents at crucial moments.
And finally, after five rounds, I won my first victory over him.
