The Newbie Is Too Strong's
217. Recruitment of White Star Club Reserve Members
Three months had passed after that, and now entered a period where third-grade seniors were rarely seen at school preparing for their university admission.
I was also at the White Star Club. Even though I was in first grade, I had solidified my choice to pursue a job in this vrmmorpg e-sport field. We won a lot of games, including our home game against Shadow Park Club. Well, that was because their team only sent their reserve team.
But funny, there are cases where we have to twice give up the 5 on 5 tournament champion about Kak Kania who was sick on the day concerned. One from the eleventh-placed club is Dealova, and the other from the 31st-ranked club is Tiris. It's a pity we lost points before the game.
But I can still tolerate it until now. But not for now. Again, Kania must be sick when we have to fight an important opponent.
I can give up points for the Tiris Club and Dealova, after all, not for the Clock Tower Club. It's just them and their team members that I can't forgive, especially that traitor Hermanto.
He was the mastermind behind the fall of the White Star Club. He stole confidential information from the club and sold it to the Clock Tower Club. Not only that, he pulled our talented archer and cleric along with him to the club. And what makes me even more angry is that he messed up the atmosphere of the club which made the members, including the training members, all run away from the club.
One word to him, he was really trash.
Then, for his current club, they did not lose their trash. Though they used to be just a small part of the separation from the big club Circle Tower. But whether it's luck or anything, they're growing bigger, even beating the size of their home club.
It's still good if it's just like that. Of course, we must give a warm welcome by congratulating when there is a club that managed to spread its wings. However, after their success, they immediately launched an evil scheme. They do everything in their power to destroy the three initial clubs, starting from their own home club, the Circle Tower Club.
Whether what problems or grudges they have to the early founding clubs vrmmorpg e-sport glory in Indonesia, they are really very intent in carrying out their ambitions. And now having gained even more power, their next target will be the other two great starting clubs, the Lucifer Club and the White Star Club.
Not only did they instigate Hermanto from the White Star Club, they also instigated the swordsmen duo, Hari and Danu from the Lucifer Club to betray their home club.
One word for them, the garbage club.
That is, no matter how small the points contributed from the victory of the match, I still do not sincerely hand it to the Clock Tower Club. But whatever the power, we lack members to participate in this 5 on 5 tournament with the absence of Kak Kania.
In the match 3 on 3, I and Kak Brian and Kak Bento faced the Clock Tower Club, which one of the participants was the Hermanto.
He seemed to be trying to provoke me by being unkind. I also used the moment of the fight to vent all my anger on him. I tortured him after making a game over his other two colleagues, without at all letting him game over in the arena.
I hit him and kept hitting him until he looked so bad. As soon as his HP approached 0, I healed him back through my ring that was connected to Aura. That is until I am free to beat him longer. If it wasn't for Brother Brian and Brother Bento stopping me, I would have never stopped beating him until my SP was completely depleted.
Unfortunately, it was only his virtual body. I wish I could hit his physical body too. I would have done it if the laws of this world did not forbid violence. Such a traitor does not deserve mercy.
Moving on from that problem, I now fully realize the importance of the reserve members. Thanks to the reserve members you will feel safe to fight in the arena if you are tired or can not play, then there will be a reserve member who will immediately be ready to replace you at any time so that you do not need to worry about your back and can rest with relief.
Not only that, with the backup members, you can devise more strategies. Just look at the Shadow Park Club example, they dropped down their reserve members, instead Kak Krimson and the rest of their core team members faced us in the associate tournament, he said, they use it to be able to analyze as many opponents as possible by covering their own strength information optimally.
They are not afraid to lose this match, if you win the main competition, the score contributed by this competition is meaningless.
However, that doesn't mean it doesn't matter at all. Because of the competition so that even though Kak Malik and his friends were eliminated in the last eight of the main competition, they were still able to occupy the seventh best club position in all of Indonesia.
So in conclusion, our club must immediately find the right reserve member so that the level of our club can be increased given the importance of the reserve member for the club.
But where can we find them when almost all newbies are more interested in clubs that are in their heyday such as Silver Hero Club, Shadow Park, Lucifer, or Clock Tower?
At that moment, I thought of two people. Brother Yuda and Senior Areka. I remember correctly that their future career plan was to become a professional e-sport vrmmorpg. And if it was them, I'd be very sure of his abilities.
“Sorry yes, Luca. I've registered as a trainee at Club Lucifer.”
All that remains, is now just Senior Areka. But how to say it yes, in contrast to the other seniors, it was Senior Areka who made me the least comfortable to approach him. Well, of course he's a good senior. But this and that are other things. Senior Areka is difficult to approach thanks to the expression of her jutek who has driven away people who want to invite her to speak first.
However, when I took her to one of the cafes and then talked about it, the answer was beyond my expectations,
“Bby kok, Luca.”
“Eh, is it really okay, Senior?”
“Is there a reason I should reject it? I intend to be a professional player, but I have not received an offer from the club and you suddenly came to offer it. Of course I will take this golden opportunity to develop my career. Well that's of course as long as the contract is satisfactory.”
Senior Areka is lying. I clearly saw it at that time rejecting offers coming from the Lucifer Club, the Clock Tower Club, and various middle and lower clubs.
“It...”
“What do you doubt? Especially if in the club there is you, it will definitely be more fun.”
Senior Areka also smiled while saying that with her typical scary smile. I don't know why, I'm getting cold sweat from it.
But more than that, I am glad that Senior Areka apparently considers myself this tall like that.
Unknowingly, the corner of my mouth was also slanted. I smile.
Instantly I remember, “But at the club right, there is Kak Malik Senior Areka hates.”
“Who hates him? I never said anything like that. I just don't like Nina being too flattering and following her. Precisely as an athlete, I also rate Senior Malik highly and admire him. Well, even though I've never met him in person.”
That is what Senior Areka said. I also managed to recruit one potential member to our White Star Club.
When I thought that everything would end there, “Puak!” The sound of the table being hit was suddenly heard from the back table.
If not wrong, it was where Egi had been sitting since daritadi, which for some reason since I left school, his existence had always been around me, but seemed to be trying to ignore me.
“This is unfair, Luca. Why is it only Senior Areka that you invite. I'm interested too.”
“Eh, is that okay, Egi? You are still first class. There are still two more years for you to be able to think about it more mature.”
“Then you say so, you are the same. Forgetit. I don't care about other clubs, I'm only interested in the club where you joined.”
That's what Egi said which somehow changed the look on his face after saying that sentence. Hearing her words, how my heart flowered. I could not believe that Egi who always ignored me was apparently also judging me as his friend.
If it's Egi, he's also a good athlete that I guarantee his quality. So of course, I would agree to that, as long as Egi would feel fine anyway.
That day was really my lucky day. Though I only intended to recruit Senior Areka only in the cafe, but I apparently also obtained a bonus Egi, a newbie athlete whose quality is not less far than Senior Areka.
Even at night, I took the two of them to meet Kirana. There is no problem with the contract and both parties agree to it easily. Be our club, the White Star Club, a club that had fallen but tried to bounce back, to seven with the inclusion of two additional reserve members.
