The Newbie Is Too Strong's
171. Second Round Preliminary Match
“So, what do you think of Luca's ability?”
Amidst the crowd on the bench, Kirana asked the opinions of the other members present with her about Luca.
The first to argue was Kania, the tamer of the White Star Team.
“Hmm. I've heard rumors about Luca before. He's the kid who distorted public opinion about the class of assassins who he said was low class? Honestly, I wanted to see it in person yesterday. Unfortunately, Luca's opponent is too weak to show more of his fighting potential.”
“Hmm. But I was impressed with him ever since he could use his aura. Not all vrmmorpg players can use the aura because it is not only related to the innate skill of the game.”
“I also agree with Brother Brian. Frankly, ever since I first met her at that place, I don't know why I like Luca so much. I honestly want a team with him. But..”
Brian showed a positive reaction, but Malik showed doubts. However, the doubt turned out, not because of Luca.
After being silent for a long time, Malik reluctantly continued his sentence, “In fact I feel we are the ones who tricked him if we want to invite him into the team when our team is threatened to be dissolved. Luca deserves to join the best team. Anyway, I don't want to ruin his future career in this vrmmorpg world.”
“Ck. All this because Hermanto's a fucking thief.”
“Enough, Bento. Stopit! It is also free that the heinous traitor is recounted. Only we will be more hurt, while the person himself will be fine with his new team now.”
“But Kania..”.
“Already, already. No need to argue over things that have passed. It is time to look to the future. As for what Malik was worried about, I thought the same thing. It would be nice before recruiting Luca, we tell him about the real state of the team so that Luca will not regret his decision.”
“Ready, Cap!”
“Ready, Cap!”
“But if Luca finds out, will he still want to join us?”
Malik and Bento answered optimistically the captain's statement. However, Kania still seems to be in doubt about this revealed in his murmur.
Thus the talk about the future recruitment of Luca was done in one corner on the bench stadium match.
Back to the game. Now entering the second round. Pelita Harapan High School Team this time represented by Luca, Areka, Yurika, Egi, and Sabrina.
@@@
Without feeling it, two days had already passed. Now there are 24 teams remaining in this high school level amateur e-sport vrmmorpg tournament. As expected, 3 elite schools certainly escaped without problems to this stage, as well as Eden Foundation High School, former Lia and Kak Andra schools.
This time, our opponent is from the winning team of the first preliminary round of group 15, the Falling Star High School.
Senior Areka said, they are not quite a great school, but not a weak school, so we must remain cautious.
But due to the consideration that the third preliminary round will be held immediately at noon today also if we win the second preliminary round, especially the possibility that our opponent is a great High School like Mulya Kasih High School, we really need to be vigilant about saving our energy as much as possible.
Well, although it is also not certain that Mulya Kasih High School will win the second preliminary round, but the opponent is Target Pursuing High School which said Senior Areka is also only a low-tier school, but the opponent is also a low-tier school, so most likely they are the ones who will win the game in the second round.
Because of that consideration, Mr. Coach finally chose to rest while Kak Yudishar and Kak Robby, replacing them with Kak Sabrina and Egi, in order to prepare for greater stamina in the next round.
Well, even now, it's not important for us because we have to win the second qualifying round first. Everything would only be a joke if we lose here.
“Luca! Fighting!”
As soon as I was about to enter the player's room this time located in the middle of the field, I heard Lia's screams so echoed to give her support to me. Of course, I'm happy with all that attention. But somehow I could feel an extremely sharp piercing aura coming from various directions at me.
Well, forgetting the murderous air that did not look threatening, I was with the team entering our respective booths, as well as the opposing team.
In an instant, we were already connected to a virtual world.
The race mechanism this time is simpler. Monolith defence. This was the same as the final round of professional e-sport match when Senior Asario won by surprising the match when his team was desperate to lose just because it managed to destroy the opponent's monolith.
However, as this was only an amateur level e-sport match, destroying the monolith did not necessarily make the opposing team lose.
It is almost certain that the team will win only by destroying the opponent's monolith even though the opposing team members are still intact. It's just that there's a 30-minute time limit. Although the opposing monolith has been successfully destroyed, as long as there is still time, the team whose monolith is destroyed can still immediately retaliate to destroy the opponent's monolith before the time limit runs out.
The game will be stopped immediately with the victory of a team when all the opposing teams have fallen in the arena where the opponent's monolith has been successfully destroyed.
However, if the 30-minute deadline expires, but the score turns out to be still a draw, then the match will continue until there is only one team staying in the arena.
Let's finish that boring reading of the rules of the game because the time has come for the game to start.
Brother Sabrina and Senior Areka were instrumental in guarding the monolith, while Kak Yurika was behind the two of them to give the buff effect to the rest of the team. Egi acted as support for the long-range attacker, while I was given a very important task, namely as the main attacker.
Certainly, many spectators who had not known me would be astonished at how a lowly assassin was given the task of being the main attacker. Because in general, the task as the main attacker was left to a swordsman or fighter.
But I will prove to all those who doubt me, that I am not just an assassin.
With lightning fast, I managed to overtake the opposing team's defense. Seemed a deft fighter could almost follow my swift movements, but Egi behind the action stayed silent. He could immediately eliminate that player with his swift and accurate arrow attacks.
There were two opposing players, a swordsman and a mage, looking closer towards the defending team. However, immediately Kak Sabrina's lightning attack greeted them so that they could not move any closer.
I believe in my team. I'm sure Sister Sabrina and Senior Areka are able to face them.
I just have to focus on these two remaining opponents before me.
Unfortunately, I did not expect at all that the monolith was loud enough that my slash attack was only able to scratch it a little.
This is the weakness of the assassin class, our attack impact is too weak. We can easily split at the weak point with an optimal accumulation of strength, but the story is different if each part is solid.
Apparently, I had to use my ultimate skill to destroy this monolith.
Not done yet I thought, the opposing shield immediately attacked me. He was so foolish as to attack a deft assassin when his class agility was so low that he forgot the poor cleric behind him who should have been under his guard.
This is certainly a wide-open opportunity to gain additional points while reducing the strength of the opponent.
However, once I intend to eliminate the cleric, Egi has done it first with his quick and accurate arrow attacks.
Now the shielder remains. For some reason, I suddenly remembered Senior Areka's cute expression back then when I applied this skill to her. I was actually with no ill intent at all, but subconsciously I had used once again my groin slash skill on that poor shield from Falling Star High School.
He who was panicking immediately fell to his feet in trembling exactly the same way as Senior Areka's expression once was. He who was in a lower position than me, I finally finished easily through my skull-crushing stabbing skill.
All that remains is to destroy the monolith. I took out my holy sword of astaroth, then like a reliable swordsman, I slashed the monolith in half with a very fine hemisphere. Of course, my class is still an assassin. It was the versatile clothes that gave me the ability to be able to use weapons from other classes.
When I look back. I saw that the two remaining enemies had been scorched by Kak Sabrina's lightning strike coupled by her flood. What I'm surprised about, is why the flood of that extraordinary thing, didn't flow all the way here.
Sis Sabrina's real control of magic has gotten better.
Thus, we won that second preliminary round with a score of 105 vs 0 in 12 minutes 5 seconds.

Deep in the audience bench there, Malik and Brian were stunned in a strange expression.
“Sister Brian, Brother saw his attack just now?”
“Iya.”
“What if Big Brother faces such an attack?”
“That's a stupid word even imagining it I don't dare. Just thinking about such an attack there, it already gave me goosebumps. Where did Luca learn such a scary style?”
Malik and Brian have both been aghast by Luca's terrible stride of groin. A slash attack directed right near the sensitive area of each man. Even though it was the body of the avatar, the sensation certainly will not be forgotten to imagine the part of the man that was cut off by the deadly attack of Luca.
Really Heine has taught a very terrible style to Luca who should not have appeared in this world.
