The enthusiasm of the audience towards Mulya Kasih High School is not without reason.
As soon as the first round of matches began, the mage, the first player representative from Mulya Kasih High School, just showed his toughness towards the other participants.
The player is not at all daunted against the four opposing players from different teams who work together impromptu to defeat him. It is only natural that the mage is the main and first target in every royal battle.
But of course, it was not a problem if the mage had absolute strength. In an instant, he was able to surpass the four other opponents who had suddenly united it. With his fire style, in a short time he burned all his opponents in the arena and then came out as a winner in the round.
Not only the mage, but also the second player from Mulya Kasih High School is no less amazing. He is a swordsman.
With an elegant and calm pace, he eliminated one by one his opponent from the arena and came out victorious in that second round.
Stepping into the third round, the bustling cheers from the audience reached their highest intensity peak. Yes, this is the match of the ace of the Black Joker team who this time competed on behalf of his school, Viandra the fighter.
Needless to say, even the toughness and overlap of his two previous team members, was simply incomparable to him.
In just two fist moves, even in one fist he used it for each of the two opponents, the four opponents of the other High School team bounced and twisted ruthlessly then game over from the arena.
Score 30 points for Mulya Kasih High School in just three innings. The match committee also decided to cancel the fourth and fifth round matches about any results of the match, no longer an opponent who can beat the absolute score. Mulya Kasih High School finally came out as the winner of the first preliminary round match in group 2.
“So this is an opponent that we have to defeat if we manage to break through to the third preliminary round? Do you believe you can beat them, Luca?”
In my amazement that saw the match Mulya Kasih High School, Senior Areka suddenly asked me then disperse me while drowning in the daydream.
Well, their game is certainly not too great if juxtaposed with a professional team. However, as a high school amateur team, their abilities were already amazing.
“I know very well Senior's worry. But do not have to think about things and just focus on the match in front of us. No one will be able to know the exact result of the match about not only ability, sometimes luck factor becomes the most important determining factor also in the results of the match.”
Senior Areka only looked speechless as she nodded at my response to that question.
“But it's cheating right? Why would a professional team player like him still be allowed to participate in an amateur tournament like this?”
He is the pessimistic brother Robby said.
“Ck. No matter he's from a professional team or what, isn't the stronger the opponent, the more interesting the match is? Don't be weak. The stronger the opponent, we just have to become stronger again. It is only the ability of oneself that will never betray us.”
With a confident gaze, Senior Areka also led us to the computer room, where we will compete accompanied by encouragement from Mr. Coach and other team members.
“Hei, Egi. Aren't you panicking? How about handing the first preliminary round match to me alone?”
“No! Just leave it to me! No matter how he looked, a tamer was more suited to royal battle!”
They are Kak Inggar and Kak Rena who are still not satisfied with the results of the appointment of Egi, the new child in the same team as me, to replace Kak Yurika as a non-fighter in this battle royal.
“No, Senior. I am the one who is in the top five ranking of the best fighters in Pelita Harapan High School. It's obvious I should go forward.”
What Egi said is true. Although many doubt the selection of Egi with the archer class that is actually less suitable with the battle royal about the match will be executed in a close-range match that is not in accordance with his ability, he said, however, only Egi is the most eligible to participate in this match, depending on the ranking, he is the fifth best fighter member.
Thus, we also stepped into the first preliminary round match with my members, Senior Areka, Kak Yudishar, Kak Robby, and Egi.
First of all is a draw to determine the order in which the matches appear. It turns out that I got the sequence number 1, then Kak Yudishar in the sequence number 2, Senior Areka in the sequence number 3, Egi in the sequence number 4, and finally Kak Robby in the sequence number 5.
Frankly, when I entered the arena, I was a little upset about the echo of the sound of the audience still busy talking about the greatness of the Viandra. Well, this is natural. Since we were the same age, inevitably my subconscious thought of him as an annoying rival.
Unknowingly, I poured my frustration into the match. Even before I got serious, the aura slash I unleashed as the first move, had eliminated all opponents in the arena.
“…”
An instantaneous silent atmosphere occurred. None of the spectators made a sound to comment. Never mind commenting, to make a sound from a small movement, they look disinclined. Unknowingly, I had diverted their world with even more overpowering abilities than Viandra.
After a while, finally a spectator was awakened from under the hypnosis of my game. The audience immediately applauded. Like butterfly syndrome, where the sound effects cancel mass hypnotization, from one source of applause, then spread to various sides, until unconsciously, the wide-open stage was filled with the sound of a standing ovation accompanied by cheers from the audience.
“Hey, isn't he the blonde girl from Pelita Harapan High School who beat the world champion, Ekila? I didn't realize it because he used a character with black hair.”
“Isn't he also the one who recently made a fuss when he first entered his High School by mocking his seniors and then challenging and beating them all in a duel to the brunt?”
“Wow, what a wild! But it's cool too. Babe she's short ya.”
Oi, oi. You think because I can't listen to your gossip? Sorry, my ears are sharp enough that even though my consciousness is in the virtual world right now, my ears in the real world remain well connected and able to listen to your gossip.
But well, since you guys praise me great, then that's okay, that's the reality.
But what does that second sentence mean? I even sound like a thug who came to school immediately took the power of the seniors. Well, even in another sense, it's true.
But what is that last sentence? What's wrong with being short? Hufft.
Well, forgetting the gossip of the spectators, I even ended up getting the first win for our team in this first preliminary round too easily.
Next is the fight of Kak Yudishar in this second round. Just like the mage in Mulya Kasih High School team, Kak Yudishar is also a fire element mage. Come to think of it, I actually mostly know players with fire-type elements. There's Brother Brian, Brother Glen, and Brother Krimson too. What fire element is the most common element huh?
Long story short, just like Mulya High School love before, because Kak Yudishar is a mage, absolutely be the first target of the opponents. However, the difference in the strength of the opponent was enormous.
With a short incantation time but with a tremendous attack impact, Brother Yudishar was able to surpass the opponents in an instant. The opponents were instantly swept away in a sea of fire without being able to anymore to dwell. They also one by one game over in the arena and Kak Yudishar came out as the winner in the second round.
Now it was Senior Areka's turn in the third round. As a defensive type player, in contrast to me and Brother Yudishar, instead of attacking, Senior Areka focused more on defense.
However, due to the performance of our High School team who won the match two innings in a row, thanks to me and Brother Yudishar, plus indeed at the beginning, our school was the seeded in the group, he said, then it is absolutely Senior Areka who is the target of other players.
But unfortunately, Senior Areka was not a legume player they could simply bully. With that sturdy shield, Senior Areka threw out one by one opponents who were about to ambush him.
None of the four opponents of the different teams were able to surpass the powerful strength of Senior Areka, instead they were the one-by-one must be the months of the impingement of Senior Areka's annoyance. I was also confused, for some reason Senior Areka looked so upset.
What is clear in the end, Senior Areka also contributed the maximum score by winning the match in the third round.
Just like Mulya Kasih High School before, about our score has reached 30 so it is absolute High School we win the match whatever the results of the rest of the match, the results of the rest of the match, then at that time also Pelita Harapan High School was determined as the winner of the first preliminary round in group 3 without the need for the second remaining match.
But it actually makes Egi upset, because after a bitter fight with Kak Inggar and Kak Rena and managed to seize one place, at the end of it he still could not appear in the first round competition.
@@@
Far away on one of the spectator benches there, a middle-aged woman suddenly said,
“How so? What do you think about Luca has changed?” He was Bu Sasmi who was looking straight at the eyes of Mr. Susanto.
“Ck. If a footless teacher like me wants to be safe in a school full of terrible predators, it is natural for me to pretend to be blind and deaf.”
“Is that the talk of a homeroom teacher?”
“Ck. What is the function of the homeroom class?! Why are many more than assuming that the homeroom teacher should be able to protect the comfort of the hearts of his students? As long as we can fulfill the academic rights of each of our guardians, isn't that enough?”
“Pak Susanto, you are too contextual. Although we are not paid for it, however, there is a moral responsibility that is borne for teachers to nurture the mental learners towards the good. Although not able to fight the above position, you at least provide mental support for students who need.”
“As do it easy only.”
“Do you have no pity for that innocent Luca? I heard that both his parents have died and are temporarily cared for by his relatives.”
“So why? Everyone has their own problems. I myself also have to keep my job in order to support both my parents and my sisters at home.”
“So you will let the scheming of that trashy teacher BK just like that to Luca?! If I could, I'd handle it. Butwhat? I'm not his homeroom teacher, you're his homeroom teacher, Mr. Susanto! You should be the most know how Luca feels because you yourself have experienced the same situation.”
Hearing Bu Sasmi's statement, Mr. Susanto was silent for a moment. But then he started talking again,
“At least, I will help him for things that do not harm my position. For the problem of the madman's schematic, leave it to the Principal. He also certainly wouldn't want to lose a talented athlete like Luca in his school.”
Mr. Susanto said full of steadiness.
