The Newbie Is Too Strong's
216. The Amateur Tournament Winner
“Who are you? Sorry, but it seems you have mistaken me as someone else.”
I was just talking honestly to the scout athlete. It is unlikely that we ever knew each other because I was new to this world six months ago and there is no way that I will forget the faces of the people close to me during that short month.
There is only one conclusion I can make. He had mistakenly recognized me as someone else unless he was also indeed an NPC from Gardenia just like me.
To my surprise, the scout athlete simply responded to my answer by smiling wryly at me. Or is this some sort of trick to distract your opponent by saying some strange word?
But judging from the vibe he showed me, it does not seem so. That scout was really sincere in saying it to me.
We also fought each other.
Before, I did not understand his decision at all. Okay, that he eliminated all my team members. But why did he eliminate all his team members? He will only lose the timing to activate his flagship skill ‘share sense’ which requires the party members.
However, I immediately understood his decision. He's not as weak as I thought. No, he's very strong.

In one corner of the spectator bench, someone wearing a hood came to watch Luca's team play against the team of mysterious people.
Suddenly, he was shocked by someone patting him on the shoulder.
“Gajel? So you finally came to watch apparently?”
“Geh, Eren. What are you doing here?”
“I? I told you on the phone that I wanted to watch the final.”
“Lantas what about your condition? Are you feeling better?”
“I'm fine, Gajel. More important than that, why did you refuse to watch if you also came here?”
[That's of course because I don't want to get too close to you, damn it! But of course I cannot speak so frankly to you.] Gajel cursed in his heart.
“I'm not feeling well, Eren, with your condition. I am sad to see you here today. You should have had more rest. You just recovered.”
“Hehehehehehe. Thank you for worrying about me, Gajel. But just calm down. I have completely recovered kok.”
[Yes, whatever. Who cares about your health. I was just talking and I just said it.]
“By the way, Eren, how did you find me in the crowd that filled this stadium?”
“That's of course from your scent, Gajel. I have been well acquainted with your scent even from a great distance.”
Hearing Eren's true words spoken innocently and without a single veiled intention, Gajel was unable to resist vomiting internally. But he was all his strength trying to cover up his disgust to Eren.
[Basic fucking stalker!]
“But, Gajel. What the hell is going on? Where did the explosion come from? Is it from Luca or from his opponent?”
“Entahlah. I don't understand either. As soon as the referee's cue began, the explosion just happened, when it was seen that both the midget boy and his opponent's scout had not moved at all. We can't say it was a system error. Because if so, surely the match referee has long canceled the match.”
Thus comments Gajel and Eren, the former Luca opponent in the quarterfinals. Even spectators who had sharp senses of the caliber of Gajel and Eren did not capture what had actually just happened in the arena.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, on the bench of Pelita Harapan High School team, the sound of footsteps could be heard entering the bench.
“Senior Areka? What about Senior's condition? I heard Senior passed out last night. Is Senior all right?”
Nina's voice then turned the attention of all the other members towards the entrance of the bench. As soon as they saw Areka's face there, how they all showed an expression of joyful relief as they approached one of the foundations of their team, the team captain, Areka.
Areka also returned to show her typical smile expression that would actually make others who saw her become disgusted at her. But of course, all of his team members no longer cared about it. They were all grateful to see the recovery of Areka.
Areka also turned to Nina while saying, “Oh yes, I have not told you this, Nina. Congratulations, have won the individual tamer tournament. Your looks are absolutely incredible. I really like.”
Hearing the remark from the senior who always mocked him that he did not have the slightest talent in the field of vrmmorpg e-sports, Nina's face immediately turned red. With mixed feelings, Nina quickly turned her eyes and lowered her head, not daring to look at the senior's face for a moment.
“But what is going on in the arena? Who blew up that place? Is that one of Luca's hidden skills? Or is it the skill of his opponent? But why did that move destroy both camps of players?”
The question from Areka at once represents the whole feeling of the team that was on the bench.

I fought earnestly against that scout player from Cenderawasih High School. Maybe on the outside, it looks that our fight is balanced. But what happened was actually that the scout was holding back.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he was deliberately stalling for battle time. He just kept looking to compensate for every attack I gave without the slightest intention of counterattacking.
Did he underestimate me?
I was angry, but that doesn't mean I can do anything. Is this really the ability that an amateur athlete has? No, even in the ranks of professional athletes, he has high skills. No, maybe he is the strongest opponent I have ever faced, even stronger than Senior Asario and Goruth.
I don't know if I can't compare it to Ecila, but I can roughly laugh that even though Ekila is seriously dealing with it, Ekila can't win. Such was the magnitude of the unexpected opponent I was facing in this vrmmorpg amateur e-sport tournament.
I wonder, what is he doing in this amateur game? Even if he entered an international professional e-sport competition, it was no surprise that he would win.
But rather than trying to achieve prestige like that, he actually hid his abilities, then played around here? At a time when everyone was seriously burning their spirits? Only this person in front of me, only this person in front of me is unforgivable because it has underestimated the spirit of the vrmmorpg e-sport spirit.
[Alright, if you underestimate these amateur athletes, then I will use that to bite you from behind.] I also made my resolve.
I salted and attacked him from above through the poison dagger attack of my basilisk's poisonous fangs, but failed.
I suddenly activated the lightning-sickle slash unexpectedly in an unexpected place, but he was also able to eliminate the interference of my skill easily.
In fact, without a second thought, I synchronized with Aura, without worrying about the monitoring team trying to find out about all my abilities and weaknesses to use in professional e-sport vrmmorpg matches later to bring me down.
I activated the light shield attack mode, but again, there was a strange wave interference that instantly eliminated my skill.
I'm out of sense. Long time competing, I also began to run out of stamina and began to attack him by just relying on my instincts alone.
But unexpectedly, one time when I swung my moon scythe at him, this time he just accepted it resignedly, then his avatar's body began to disintegrate.
“In the near future, let's meet again, Senior Luca.” He just said that then the game over in the arena. Even to the end, I did not understand at all the purpose of the strange scout from Cenderawasih High School.
But whatever it is, obviously, our team, Pelita Harapan High School Team, finally able to win the champion one general tournament year-end e-sport vrmmorpg amateur level this High School with a donation of 25 points through the champion one team tournament. And no one else can argue the fact that our SMA holds the title of the strongest team in the field of e-sport vrmmorpg SMA.

After that, the results of the determination of the third champion of the team tournament between the Phoenix High School Team against the Rooster High School Team held elsewhere which was not broadcast live as our final match was also announced. Even without the presence of their alchemist who has been the foundation of the team, Phoenix High School seems to still be able to win the fight.
The results of the general champion were announced and unexpected, even though Cenderawasih High School which managed to penetrate into the final round, it turned out that they had only obtained the third general champion where Phoenix High School had won its second general champion based on the recap of the added value of the entire individual match.
Of course we are, Pelita Harapan High School, which won the first overall champion.
Well, even though it's a bit bit bitter-end because we're ultimately not able to prove optimally our talent by beating Phoenix High School, the winner of the year-end tournament last year, but for now, me and the team have done their best.
And of course, this is just the first step for me. This competition is not the end of my goal. I will make this a stepping stone to be able to pursue Ecila. Then as the next target, is a win in a professional e-sport match vrmmorpg national level with my team of course, White Star Club.
