That night, we had a simple party celebrating our advance to the next round as well as celebrating the results of 2nd champion Chika and Kak Nina's absolute victory. However, it did not last long about the next day, we will be back in the second round.
Our opponent according to the data is not stronger than our previous opponent, but we still cannot be off guard. We do not want to make the same mistake as made by Sahabat Hutan High School who underestimated us so as to bring down their inexperienced members to face us and end up with a humiliating defeat.
SMA Tigers Hitam, the second representative of Sumatra Island. That's the name of the school we're going to face tomorrow. They are the type of fighters who rely on speed and always attack quickly. They are the type of opponent that would be very suitable to be faced by an assassin like me.
“No, Luca. In the team game tomorrow, you will not perform.”
“Eh? Why, Lia? Why can't I perform? Isn't tomorrow's opponent an agility type? It's only natural that I was sent down against them.”
“Luca, won't you be performing in individual matches tomorrow? Focus on that individual match and trust your other teammates for tomorrow's team match. Even though it is smaller than a team match, the points from individual matches should still not be ignored right? Or are you underestimating the abilities of your own team members?”
I can't argue that Lia's as stubborn as that.
That's right Lia said. Although the points are less than five times that of the team, it does not mean that it will not contribute anything to the determination of the general champion.
Just imagine for example if our team managed to become the first champion in a team game and obtained 25 points. But then there was the opposing team that managed to get second place in the team game and get 15 points, but they also won three individual tournaments while we couldn't win anything.
Their score will be 30, while we will remain stagnant at 25. So even if we win a team tournament, we will still not be able to win the general championship of the tournament later this year.
That is how important it is to win each individual tournament.
“So, Lia, who do you plan to play tomorrow?” It was Senior Areka who asked.
“Senior Areka and Senior Yurika keep playing. Then for the attacking team, we will use a combination of Chika, Diana, and Senior Raia.”
And so, the preliminary match in the second round began.
Our opponents sent each one a swordsman, fighter, archer, mage, and cleric without the support of a shield. Really a team that focuses on quick attacks.
Once the cue of the match started, they nimbly ran lunging towards Pelita Harapan High School Team without the slightest sense of trepidation.
Unfortunately, Diana's mine trap which contained the batch of poison Chika had been waiting for them there. The opposing team was all hit by a debuff.
It also makes Raia easily eliminate their cleric. Unfortunately, when Kak Raia was about to attack the mage, the mage attacked back and managed to slightly scratch the body of Kak Raia's avatar.
However, Chika's cross bow arrow soon manages to support Raia's sister so that Raia's sister has time to immediately pull herself back. The arrow fired by Chika contains a poison that is so deadly that it does not take long for the mage to participate in the game over from the arena. As a bonus, Chika managed to injure their archer and also sent him back to the real world.
“Takkan I let the same mistakes repeat themselves as in that individual tournament! This time, I will make sure to donate the victory for the team!”
When the opposing team will do a counter attack, Diana's ‘longsor’ skill shook the remaining fighter and swordsman players.
Brother Raia whose wound has recovered thanks to the healing skill Kak Yurika immediately took the opportunity to set aside the opponent fighter. Unfortunately in the process, Kak Raia had to game over about being hit by the sword of the swordsman.
However, the victory has been ours as Chika cross bow arrows containing hell melons containing hysteria bacteria variant 707 have successfully hit the swordsman when he activates his aura. It did not take long for the swordsman who was the last player from the opponent to participate in the game over in the arena.
Absolute victory for Pelita Harapan High School Team thanks to the trio Chika-Diana-Kak Raia, even without the need for Senior Areka to intervene in the fight.
The excitement of the event continues. In the midst of the excitement of the event, we also took the time to watch our opponent candidates in the third preliminary round. Between Eden Foundation High School or Puncak Bakti High School, whoever wins in this second preliminary match, they will be our opponents in the next round.
“How about the match High School Mulia Karsa, Zevan?” Out of curiosity, I also asked the results of the match next door.
The answer is as I thought.
“Well, that's unquestionable. How could they possibly be able to defeat the Phoenix High School Team? His Highness Karsa High School team had completely lost by humiliation. I also did not know the details, but suddenly they coughed for no reason and then just died in the arena. But I've recorded that match well.”
‘Ah, that must be junior act Kak Krimson.’ I thought in my heart.
However, that is not what I have to think about at this time, about the fight between the Eden Foundation High School Team and Puncak Bakti High School Team has begun.
It is seen that Puncak Bakti High School has learned a lot from their previous fight against Eden Foundation High School in the final round of the competition earlier that academic year. It is very clear their intention to do revenge for their previous defeat.
The team took down an assassin and their scout simultaneously which was very rarely used in a match by resting their shield and cleric. A truly all-offense formation.
Rather than focusing their attacks on one point in the front line, Puncak Bakti High School Team this time prefer to attack from all directions to look for the weak point of defense of Eden Foundation High School Team.
The scout instantly activated his skill to shake the ground which aims to dissipate the all-defense position of Eden Foundation High School. But looking with a focus on Eren the shielder, Eden Foundation High School is able to survive well.
However, the attack of Puncak Bakti High School Team not only stopped there. The mage is seen starting to attack with his lightning bolt to penetrate the opponent's defense from above, while in this state, the assassin begins to sneak behind the enemy to destroy their back line.
After a while, the situation was immediately turned around with Gajel the mage of the Eden Foundation High School counterattack to the opponent's mage through an ultimate skill that instantly eliminated the opponent's mage from the arena.
The unexpected thing happened when the opponent's assassin was about to assassinate Gajel, his weapon even back attacked him and stabbed himself. As a result, the assassin from Puncak Bakti High School Team immediately participated in the game over from the arena.
Looking at the movements of the Eden Foundation High School Team, it seems that it is a skill belonging to the scout. Steal skill and super counter-attack, that scout is really very dangerous.
Furthermore, Gajel's combination attack along with the archer was finally able to eliminate the scout from Puncak Bakti High School which left a swordsman and a fighter who was their attacking team.
However, the two remaining players from Bakti Peak High School must immediately swallow the bitter defeat at the hands of the talented shield, Eren.
The Eden Foundation High School Team once again won the match over the Bakti Peak High School Team. It was finally decided that they were our opponents in the next round of the round.
If I may judge, it is clear that the development of the abilities of all players of Puncak Bakti High School Team. I had no idea about their scouts and fighters that I had just seen today, but it was clear that their swordsman, mage, and assassin skills had developed into quite a frightening realm.
However, even with the development at the monster level, they still can not penetrate the defense of the Eden Foundation High School is very sturdy. Once I was so excited to look forward to our fight against that sturdy fortress the next day.
For now, I just have to focus on my responsibility in the current team which is to bring a second win for the team in the individual assassin tournament.
The tournament mechanism for the assassin class itself is carried out in a fairly simple format. There will be a thousand targets of 30 x 10 x 3 cubic centimetres of wooden box board moving randomly at the same time in a limited area where we have to destroy thousands of wooden box boards within 30 minutes.
However, if there is only one wooden box board that hits our body, then immediately the game is stopped and the score calculation is done based on how many wooden boxes we have managed to destroy.
The result was clear, not even a third of the time running, I managed to get rid of all the wooden boxes in the arena.
Apparently, not only am I the assassin able to get rid of the entire wooden box at the provided time, though, it appears that two other assassins from Phoenix High School and Sahabat Hutan High School that we have previously defeated in the team match were also able to do so.
However, of course they both could not match my time so I was crowned the first champion and managed to successfully donate the second individual match win for our team after Kak Nina.
Our success did not stop there today. Although not the first champion, unexpectedly, both Egi in the archer tournament and Ellen in the cleric tournament were each able to donate the third champion for the team.
The individual archer tournament is how far they can hit the target accurately. Of course this had to be done without those archer participants activating their skills. Egi was only able to survive at a distance of 800 meters where his arrow missed to the number 7.
As for the other two participants who defeated him each were only able to survive at a distance of 900 meters, only one level above Egi. The first champion, SMA Cendrawasih, the second representative of Papua Island missed to number 8, while the second champion, Senior High School Rooster, the first representative of Sulawesi Island missed to number 5.
Then for individual cleric tournaments, it is simply measuring how much of their sacred strength is. I also don't know exactly how they measure it in numbers, but it appears that Ellen's sacred power value is at exactly 1200, which she lost to the first champion, he said, Phoenix High School in 1618 and the second winner, Eden Foundation High School in 1469.
