The Newbie Is Too Strong's
202. The Hope that Never Fades
I'm happy with the development of my three party members. They have struggled to do their best and were eventually selected to be the first team at e-sport club vrmmorpg for the competition later this year.
In addition to Kak Nina, let alone being elected, he actually had to be eliminated from his position as the main reserve team to the lowest caste team. I could very clearly feel the sadness behind his facial expression.
But I can say with certainty that Kak Nina's failure was not due to her incompetence. As a player, Kak Nina has grown significantly. It's just that the other members within the club have a much more significant development.
I thought I had won my bet with Senior Areka when Kak Nina made it into this club. I just realized I was the one who lost.
The vrmmorpg e-sport club turned out to be a lot scarier than I thought. It was filled with a bunch of monsters so it would be difficult for Kak Nina whose mediocre ability to shine in that place.
As the one who gave him the zeal to reach his goal that caused him to be in his current position, how guilty I feel. However, I can see even in such circumstances, Sister Nina still does not despair in reaching her asia.
However, what should I do so that Brother Nina can progress beyond her limits and follow the development of those genius monsters?
Then that day came.
The Coach suddenly gathered us a day after the announcement of the new team line-up.
“Agenda this time is the selection of two extra team members as participants of the year-end tournament. Unlike the other five team reserves, these two extra members will not be able to be involved in team matches.”
More or less, so conveyed by Senior Areka representing Mr. Coach. But what does that mean? Why should two people be chosen again, but not be able to participate in a team match? But quickly, Senior Areka continued her explanation which immediately answered my curiosity.
“As you know, at the year-end tournament, there will not only be team matches as the main match. There will be ten other games in the form of individual competitions involving each of the ten classes in the vrmmorpg game The Last Gardenia. Well, these two additional members can represent us to enter the individual competition.”
After that, Senior Areka also explained every mechanism of his individual competition which apparently was not a fight, but a talent fight.
“As you know, in our core team there are currently 9 classes and there is only one class that disappears, namely tamer. In our club, there are only two tamers, namely Rena and Nina. So, I will ask your opinion on who among the two of them will represent the club to advance to the individual matches as a member of this additional team.”
“Then, I pass. What is the interesting part about showing a show playing vrmmorpg defeating monsters? Instead, I take advantage of the time available for training so that next year I can be re-elected as a core team.”
“Good spirit, Rena! I concur. Let's train together until the last drop of our sweat!”
Sis Rena and Kak Inggar suddenly noisy inside the club and then put forward their unilateral opinions. Well then, if Kak Rena gives up on that position, it means who will be elected…
“If Rena is not willing, there are only Nina candidates left. How, Nina? Do you want to fill this one empty place?”
Then, with determination, Sister Nina also took the opportunity, “I'm willing, Senior.”
One thing that amazes me with Kak Nina is her firm stance like a solid rock in trying to achieve what she stands for.
“Then, one place remains.. Can I express my opinion, Areka?”.
It was Yurika who said that.
“What if one more place is filled by a cleric? Frankly, I don't believe I can enter that individual competition when I have to use my holy power for team matches as well. I fear that the time lag of team matches and individual matches will not be long enough to recover my holy power before the assessment.”
“Hmm. Yeah, that's the right reason. So how? Would you recommend Shea?”
“That's great, Areka. But..”
“It's okay, Sister Yurika. I also understand more than anyone that the greatest sacred force among the three of us right now is Ellen. So it would be more appropriate to recommend Ellen. How, Ellen, are you willing to represent us to advance to the individual matches?”
“If Sister Shea and Sister Yurika don't mind, I don't mind either.”
Everyone seemed to nod in agreement. Thus, finally the two additional team members were selected and I saw that the light on Kak Nina's face shone again as if once again the light of hope shone on her.

After that, the days passed with more intense exercise. Not only individual exercises this time, but group exercises, how to adjust the movement with various combinations of team members and how to unite the styles with each other so as to provide a more powerful impact attack.
Not felt, the month of December arrived. Although it sounds fraudulent, as the host of the implementation of this e-sport vrmmorpg, the western Java area obtained a quota of 12 participants, three times more than the other five areas, though it can be said that the ability is the second weakest just above the ability of the central and eastern Java areas.
Six teams participating in the quarter-finals in the competition earlier in the academic year have been automatically selected as participants, while 6 others will be selected among the 18 other teams who managed to penetrate the second preliminary round.
One team that made us interested among the 18 teams, of course Mulya Kasih High School who had been our opponent in the third round of the previous round. That is why, we are watching their matches at the moment.
As expected, the team that has members from the professional club Black Joker which is the eighth best e-sport club at this time is different. Not only that, apparently the four members of their other team are also trainees at the Black Joker club. Their abilities will certainly be prominent among other team participants.
And as expected, it was their team that became one of the selected teams as additional participants in the tournament later that year.
I witnessed for myself the battle of the VIandra on how the efficiency of her movements was getting smoother as well as how she was getting more and more understanding about preventing her from making any futile moves during the fight. Not only that, the moves are also increasingly honed and sharp with agility and strength that increases very drastically. He will certainly become a tough and troublesome opponent in the competition later in the year.
No, not only Viandra, his four comrades had also undergone significant development. In essence, their team had evolved into an even higher realm.
Seeing that, how could we possibly be silent. We are motivated to evolve into a better team. However, there are still many shortcomings of the team that we must improve again.
We went home with each team member watching that day showing a varied look. But one thing is for sure, we have absolutely no intention of losing to anyone. We will fight for victory.
At that moment, suddenly Brother Yudishar stopped my steps by holding my hand.
“Kak Yudishar?”
“Luca, can you speak something for a moment? Ah, Areka, you can take the others home with your car. I'm the one who will take Luca directly to his house.”
Thus Senior Areka along with three other groups, namely Egi, Diana, and Kak Yurika went home first leaving us both in this place.
“What does Brother Yudishar want to talk about?” Curiously, I asked too.
“Anu, Luca.. I saw your match as an official member of White Star Club on the internet. Is...”
“Iya, that's right, brother. I've officially joined as a member of the White Star.” Club
“Not, that's not what I wanted to ask. I've seen how your combination attacks go with athlete Brian. I'm also a fire witch. Would we be able to do the same combination movement like that?”
“Nothing is impossible. So how? Want to practice a combination attack today together, Brother Yudishar?”
Hearing my answer, Kak Yudishar's facial expression immediately brightened. That night, Yudishar and I spent the night together in his house full of passion and burning sweat.
In a short time, I and Brother Yudishar managed to train our synchrony very perfectly. Once again, the e-sport club of SMA Pelita Harapan experienced a level-up.
