The Newbie Is Too Strong's
168. Everyone Gathers at the Match Venue
Monday, August 23, 2083 earth time, finally arrived also the debut competition that I have been waiting for.
Currently, we are lined up on the field to listen to the direction and welcome from the organizers of this high school level amateur e-sport competition. There are many who give remarks, ranging from the president, mayor, chairman of the foundation, chairman of the committee, to the principal of the winning High School last year, Puncak Bakti High School.
I heard, since this competition began about 20 years ago, only Puncak Bakti High School and Angkasa Jaya High School are constantly exchanging places to fill the position of the other champion. And what makes the lower middle school feel inferior is that the winner of the top three in this competition is always not separated from the 3 elite schools.
I hope that if our High School, Pelita Harapan High School, will be able to break that limit and finally shine through the competition this year, proving that we can beat the 3 elite schools that he said were invincible, reaching an elite place above the elites.
After that, there were various ceremonial events that were quite boring to the point of making me shed tears, of course not because of sadness, but because of drowsiness.
I could not believe that the field as large as this football field would be filled with match participants. Well, that's only natural. Given that in the selection round there are as many as 120 teams of participants from SMA spread throughout the corners of western Java.
Oh yeah, speaking of the team, there was a team of participants that made me unable to take my eyes off. They are a team from Eden Foundation High School. I know 3 of them well about them being unused reserve members of the Silver Hero Team during their competition in the professional e-sport vrmmorpg last month. A shielder, a mage, and an archer.
After I asked Senior Areka, did it not break the rule that the player who had stepped foot in the pro e-sport competition even to the international level, instead entered the amateur competition, Senior Areka also replied that it would be safe only for those who had been recorded officially following the competition so that for the reserves to die like they would not violate any rules.
The selection competition itself will be divided into 24 sessions consisting of five teams each that will only win one place to go to the next round. It just so happened that our team was put into group 3 which will be competing in virtual room A on the first day of the third session.
After that, from the top 24, there will be a one on one competition to filter it into the top 12, then the top 6.
Then in the round of 6, teams will be selected based on the individual ability to determine who the 4 teams will advance to the semifinal round.
Then afterwards, of the 4 teams participating in the semifinal round, only two teams will advance to the final round. And lastly, the determination of the champion one was made from both candidates of the grandfinalist team.
I was so curious about the strength of our current team, to where we were going. Of course I'm not the only one curious. Certainly my other nine comrades in arms, namely Senior Areka, Kak Yudishar, Kak Robby, Kak Yurika, Egi, Kak Danang, Kak Rena, Kak Inggar, and Kak Sabrina, are as curious as I am.
Frankly. I'm so tense.
@@@
Of course it wasn't just Luca who was tense at the time. Both the coach and everyone who supported their team felt the same tension. They hope that Pelita Harapan High School can finally escape the entanglement of middle school by being able to defeat the 3 elite schools, Puncak Bakti High School, Angkasa Jaya High School, and Mulia Karsa High School.
Behind the spectator bench, can be seen clearly the look of worry from Mr. Syarifuddin. He really expects the best results from his students.
Not only that, though, thanks to the insistence of certain crazy BK teachers who blame the ability to train Mr. Syarifuddin so that last year Pelita Harapan High School dropped from rank 4 which he always had to position five, Mr. Syarifuddin also received a strong rebuke from the school that caused his position as a coach to be threatened.
Of course, Mr. Syarifuddin, rather than his position as a coach, was more concerned about the mental state of the children he was educated if until he was released from his position.
It was seen that among the cheers, Lia was the most outstanding among them. However, it actually has the opposite effect from the responses of other spectators. Lia is actually a vrmmorpg e-sport celebrity who has won the top 16 in vrmmorpg e-sport matches. Not only that, his team also won five champions in the same competition.
That's what causes Lia to become an idol, especially the e-sport enthusiast vrmmorpg, especially with Lia's face is very beautiful and cute. Lia's cheer supporting Luca's team in the arena also caused an inexplicable jealousy in the hearts of fans who admired Lia both in terms of face and in terms of talent.
Subconsciously, these people also muttered the same thing in their hearts to Luca, “Just die there, you trash!” or something. Our protagonist never does anything bad to them. Even instead of a bad attitude, he alone definitely did not know about the meaning of those fans' jealousy.
It was not only their entourage who came to watch Luca. There was also Bu Sasmi who came together with Mr. Susanto wearing a black glasses suit and a veil that covered half his face.
Certainly, Ms. Sasmi thought that her disguise would make her unrecognizable by anyone, especially to some of her students who also attended the event live. But he grossly underestimated the observant observations of the high school boys.
After all, from the beginning, there is no way that there are no students present there who will not realize the posture of the model with the appearance of his tall legs and his typical body movements.
The next day, there will certainly be hot rumors about the relationship of two homeroom teachers from adjacent classes who are both unmarried at the age of both of them before 40 years.
Forgetting Bu Sasmi, there is another one that is more interesting for the visitors around, they are members of the professional e-sport vrmmorpg team who are hotly rumored by the media will soon disperse, he said, Kirana, Malik, Brian, Bento, and another tamer named Kania.
Of course, they came today to the place as they promised Luca.
Let's step back some time after the completion of the international e-sport vrmmorpg competition in the United States.
Luca, determinedly, called Kirana to announce his belief.
“Kak Kirana, I have decided that I will accept an offer from Big Brother about joining the White Star Team. But with one condition.”
“I don't want to be seen as the one who walks into the team at will about acquaintances. Therefore, I hope that in my debut competition in the amateur e-sport vrmmorpg high school level, Kak Malik and my friends will also watch my match. It was only there that you all determined, this time not only the opinion of Kirana, but the opinion of all team members, about whether I was worthy to join the White Star Team or not.”
“Only if after that all the team members judged me worthy and agreed to it, then I will accept the proposal from Kak Kirana before that to join the team.”
And this was where they were at the moment, about to watch closely the ability of that brat who caught Kirana's attention. Surely, they all had high hopes for Luca at this moment. It may be Luca's current whereabouts are the only ones who can save their club on the brink of collapse.
Unfortunately, it was not only their White Star Club back then that had placed its attention on Luca. There was also the coach of Silver Hero Club, Riska Angela, whose attention has not been released from Luca, including some scouts from other professional clubs who have heard Luca's rumours after beating Ecila, the world champion in an unofficial match.
Will Luca be able to shine brightly in this debut competition or will he even have to swallow the disappointment of the supporters who put hope in him with the bitter reality of his defeat? Everything will be answered soon.
