The Newbie Is Too Strong's
180. The Early Academic Year Tournament Champion
The next morning, I met with Senior Areka as promised at the final match venue of the high school amateur e-sport vrmmorpg.
I then explained to Senior Areka the details of the danger of his quest that could have an effect on his physical body that was different from ordinary vrmmorpg quests, but either because he was stupid and did not pay too much attention to the condition of his body or he trusted me too much, he immediately agreed to the quest and handed his body completely to me.
Whatever it is, I have decided this from the beginning, so I will meet Senior Areka's expectations by keeping her body well.
Long story short, we also watched the final match of the high school amateur e-sport vrmmorpg.
“Eh, why do we bother having to watch the game until it's over?”
“Ah, Senior still does not understand apparently. In order to defeat the opponent, we must first understand the truth about our opponent. The two teams competing at the moment are our potential opponents in the year-end tournament.”
“You, are you really confident you can win that tournament?”
“If I am of course confident, but as long as the other team members are able to level-up at least to the level that can be equated with them.”
“Alright if you have said so. Let's watch this match until the end.”
Thus, I and Senior Areka decided to watch the match until the end.
Both teams I admit are great. But between the two, I can say that the new team of Eden Foundation High School is indeed different in a positive sense.
I had previously guessed that the Silver Hero Team's forerunner SMA formation team was definitely no ordinary team, given how the Silver Hero Team itself formed its team in such an unusual way.
How not, their core team simply did not possess a shielder. Well, even though there's Kak Toni on the reserve team. But their main formation was a wild formation of combined attacks without a shield between swordsman, mage, and, and tamer with the support of an assassin and battle cleric as support attack where the cleric also acts as a buff giver.
However, this Eden Foundation High School formation team was completely the opposite of the Silver Hero Team pattern. They are an all-defensive team with a long-range attack pattern. There was a shielder who became the center of their defense where an archer and mage gave a long-range attack behind the shield. Do not forget there is also a cleric who is a buff giver.
And the most special thing is the presence of a scout who becomes a defense assistant in the gap passed by the shielder. Totally all-defensive type.
Moments later, the fight seemed to have entered the final round. The opponent of Puncak Bakti High School Team enters his full offensive mode centered on their swordsman player.
The swordsman received buff support not only from the cleric, but also from the mage and his companion shield. With that maximum buff, the swordsman ran confidently through the core defense of the opponent shield. However, even with all the buffs, the swordsman was still unable to break through the shield's defenses.
This is where I understand why the Eden Foundation High School Team focused their formation on the shield. Shielder is no ordinary player.
With the failure of the attack after attempting to slash through the shield many times, the opposing swordsman retreated. But even the strangeness happened there. Sword missing.
Apparently, it was the skill steal of the scout. With the loss of the swordsman's sword, he absolutely no longer had any tools as a deterrent to attack. A series of attacks from the opponent's archer and mage must be received using his body that is without defense.
Even with his sturdy armor, it would certainly not be able to withstand the combined attack of a mage and archer so that the swordsman was immediately eliminated in the arena.
With the loss of the core attackers from them, the formation of Puncak Bakti High School Team began to falter. It appears that the assassin from the team is trying to eliminate the opponent scout through stealth attacks that he seems to have planned from the beginning since he has long disappeared in the arena. However, the attack was thwarted outright by the cleric's curse and ended through the scout's own hands.
Now the remaining three players of Puncak Bakti High School Team who survive. However, regarding the giving of buffs to their previous swordsman colleagues, both their stamina and MP had seemed drained first. In the end, when the opponent's archer and mage launched a long-range attack on them, their formation immediately collapsed.
One by one members of Puncak Bakti High School team were killed in the arena either because they were hit by a physical arrow or were hit by a fire magic arrow attack.
Eden Foundation High School immediately came out as the winner without any one of their members being game over in the arena.
“All-defensive attack pattern huh? Interesting too.”
“Eh? Did you say something, Luca?”
That day, the list of champions of the tournament at the beginning of the High School academic year was determined by the Eden Foundation High School as a newcomer came out as the winner, eliminating the defending champion of Puncak Bakti High School to second place.
As for the determination of the third champion, the previous match had been between SMA Angkasa Jaya vs SMA Mulia Karsa and the winner who came out as well as the third champion was none other than the former second champion, Angkasa Jaya SMA.
There will also be awards for fourth, fifth and sixth place, which means including our fifth-ranked school which will be held the next day. But I don't know why I feel so lazy to attend.
Let's forget tomorrow first. There's still important things to do tonight.

Evening day came. I signed with the White Star Club with no problem. Now, I'm finally officially part of the White Star Club.
But when Kirana introduced me to all the team members, I wondered,
“By the way, Brother Kirana, where is his White Star Club coach?” Askaqua.
As soon as I said the sentence, it seemed that the atmosphere of the team looked a bit awkward, except for Kak Bento who somehow questioned my greeting to Kak Kirana.
Was it for him that I was too close to Kirana to call her Big Brother? But I think it's normal and there's nothing wrong. I don't know what's on Bento's mind.
“Luca, where do you deserve to call this person as Big Brother. This year he is already old..”.
Brother Bento seemed to want to say something to me, but I failed to understand him because his mouth was smothered first by Brother Brian.
At that moment, Kak Kirana and Kak Malik mentioned the facts to me,
“Luca, actually our club is not having a coach.”
“Iya, that's right, Luca. You see the funds in our club are very thin so to recruit a coach we can not afford.”
Instantly I showed them a long-faced expression, Kirana immediately frantically shook my body as she said, Kirana immediately,
“Luca, you will not cancel our contract because of this matter right? Please, Luca, have mercy on this Brother.”
It is not that I want to do what Kak Kirana said just because of the coach's problem that is not there, but seeing the expression of Kak Kirana's compassion so much, I feel more compassion.
“Ehem. I won't cancel the contract, Kirana.”
“Really?”
“True, true.”
It was only after I convinced her like that, that Kirana seemed to smile refreshed.
The rest of the time that night, we spent with celebration of my welcome to the club.
Everything was going fine, but somehow Kak Kania's expression was so agitated.
