The Newbie Is Too Strong's

The Newbie Is Too Strong's
192. The spirit of Raia and Chika

[POV Raia]


I'm weak.


There is no other reason why I failed to be selected as a core team in my vrmmorpg e-sport club other than because of my weakness.


So it's clear what steps I should take to improve myself. I need to fix my weakness.


Thanks to a certain junior, I now understand better about the talents and abilities that I have after a long time trapped as a player shield that has always been a laughing stock. Yes, I can feel that as a fighter that is my way of life.


However, it still could not cover up my weakness. To be strong, there is still a long way to go.


“Yo, young man. Again come to colossium to fight?”


He was Yanagi, the excited uncle I had considered to be my own friend in colossium. He is an NPC. However, he always gave me very useful advice for my development.


Today I will once again compete in colossium. Without me noticing, my rank in colosium had already quite risen which was at rank 1080. My opponent this time was a fighter ranked 951st. This time is a very important fight because if I manage to defeat my opponent, then I will officially enter the top 1000 rank.


My opponent this time is a player from Russia with JASOFFDUCKIE ID with a large body and muscles. Its main deadly weapons are head shock and lion kicks that will immediately hit your vital point which in one attack will be able to make you game over.


I have to be careful. This time the opponent is not easy.


As expected, the temperamental Jasoff immediately ran towards me as soon as the match started. He raised his fist very quickly which overwhelmed me in avoiding him.


However, that was not the most fatal thing on Jasoff's attack. If you keep your distance too much, then his quick kick attack will immediately give a deadly attack mercilessly. However, if your distance is too close, then the head shock is waiting for the one that is not less deadly anyway.


He was not only agile, but also cunning and was able to use his physical superiority very optimally.


This is what Luca meant that a fight was not just relying on pure ability. Sometimes the trick used correctly will be able to reverse the results of the game instantly.


Like for example, a petite Chinese female player recently who was ranked in the 200s, previously it was surprisingly able to slam an opponent much larger than him through a technique of utilizing the opponent's own weight as an advantage.


I realized that I'm not the type of player to think. But true what Luca said, however, I had to learn to realize the opponent's tricks and not get caught up in them.


But isn't Jasoff cheating? Already a big body, he also has many dangerous tricks. But, as Luca says, the key is sharp observation.


It was Luca who told me that I was born with sharp eyes that proved I could immediately see the shape of the attacking weapon even though it was still far behind. And it was Luca who told me that I should make good use of my innate talent.


He said, this sharp vision of mine would be a very deadly weapon if combined well with my reflexive and wild fighting movements.


I must be able to pay attention to the opponent's movements and avoid every attack and his cunning tricks. The rest is entrusting my instincts and reflexes which are my greatest weapons.


Unknowingly, I was able to see in slow motion, Jasoff doing his head shock. I immediately lowered my head to avoid the attack and then I counter-attacked through a five-time combo guntletted me right towards his chin.


I don't know what's going on either. Maybe because I was too focused so I could see the opponent's movements more slowly or how, I also did not understand. But thanks to that, I easily defeated him when I could clearly see the gap in each of his attacks.


Regardless, this is a step forward for me in finding my own weapons and fighting style as a fighter player.


I also won against Jasoff and then my ranking rose to 992. I've reached my target of getting into the top 1000 of colossium's greatest players for now.


***


Today went on as usual. I got caught up in my research under the direction of Professor Bruntall. I researched various alchemical compounds that I could use as weapons in the game.


Not only weapons, I also researched medicinal herbs that were able to treat faster than the healing abilities of a cleric or light mage. The key was the world tree leaf item, a legendary item I recently discovered in the Alchemist Forest with Kak Krimson.


Using the Yate tree monster core catalyst, I managed to extract the healing essence contained within that leaf. A little more refinement, this product will be completed and will certainly be a very valuable team support.


With the existence of medicinal herbs, even without any cleric on the team, the team still would not have to worry anymore about debuffing poison. This will certainly be very useful if in unsolicited conditions, a cleric will be eliminated first in the arena.


This is an innate item so without me being in the arena, I can support my comrades through my potions.


Of course, I still want to play in the game. Therefore, I also trained my fighting skills. Even though I am an alchemist, I still need to be proficient in using weapons. Well, even though the sword is a bit heavy for me, at least I'm good at using cross bow.


It was Luca who suggested this weapon to me after I complained to him that I was a little traumatized by the use of a sword or knife. Even though I was trembling in a melee attack, I had an agile movement in avoiding the attack.


After seeing my fighting characteristics like that, Luca also recommended cross bow as my weapon. Beyond a doubt, it turns out that this weapon is really comfortable for me. I can shoot easily even while making a move. And as good as this weapon is, I don't need to aim too accurately to keep my opponent on their toes.


As an alchemist, my role on the team was as a troublemaker of the opposing formation through the combination attacks of my potions. From the beginning, I didn't need a weapon like a sword or an arrow because I wasn't the main attacker. I just need a weapon to make it harder for the opponent to aim at me so that I'm more fluent in carrying out my role as a support.


And with the existence of this cross bow, I was really very helped in finding the fighting style that was most suitable for me.


Then for the weapons that are typical of potions, I have various types, ranging from poison, mana bully potions, bombs, traps, and so on.


But what this time was the focus of my attention was a trap herb that would not be easily detected by opponents who could efficiently destroy the opponent's formation.


An ice bomb that could instantly freeze an opponent's skin and tear him off was indeed a good weapon, but I guess it was still lacking. However, before the game over, the opponent still had a lot of time to move to eliminate me also in the battle.


I need a potion that can react faster until the opponent can game over before they even have time to realize it.


For that time, I was immersed in studying the fire witch and ice turtle core catalysts that would most likely be my foundation in finding such a potion.


Not only that, basic ingredients such as strong adhesive ingredients are also developed. Although simple, it can be a very useful trap that will help my teammates well, especially for an assassin like Luca to be easier in defeating opponents.


“Chika, ready?”


“Ah, Brother Krimson. Yes Brother, but wait a minute yes, I want to really.”


He is Kak Krimson, a kind-hearted senior who selflessly willing to be my physical training partner every afternoon.


Thanks to Kak Krimson's direction, now I can move more agile while shooting through my cross bow. Although I was still a bit uncomfortable in moving while jumping trees, but with a lot of practice, I was sure I would be able to improve.


However, actually I feel a little bad asking Kak Krimson to train match, about in the game later this year, we will also face Kak Krimson school, the champion school one year ago, the champion school, Phoenix High School.


But because Kak Krimson said it himself that it would not be a problem, he also did not compete directly because of the prohibition for international tournament participants to participate in the competition at the amateur level, so maybe it's okay for me to receive kindness from Kak Krimson.


The point is, these days it's really a busy schedule. After school, I had to connect to the game immediately to continue my research. In the afternoon, I trained a match with Kak Krimson. After that post-training, I went back to struggling with my research.


What if the busy schedule of club year-end tournament preparation has already begun. Anyway, I should be more excited.


It's exhausting, but it's all for one purpose. Everything of course so that this time I can be selected as the first team in the tournament later that year.
