The Newbie Is Too Strong's
227. Final Round Begins
That day, the Silver Hero Team won over Team Shadow Park. Thus, it was confirmed that our opponent in the finals was the Silver Hero Team.
Right at night the day after, the eight of us, the core members and Kirana Kak, analyzed the semi-final match between the two top teams.

Brother Krein had actually performed his role very well, supporting his fellow shield as soon as the cue of the match from the MCs began to protect him from Senior Asario's ultimate cross-dimensional slash skill.
It seems that Kak Krimson has his own unique method of using the smell of potions that are not detected by the usual sense of smell to gather the members.
Unfortunately, even with Kak Medina's absence at the time in the team, Brother Andra quickly realized it then used a skill that tricked Kak Krimson's sense of smell against the smell of potions that should be detected by himself.
The carelessness began when he had his mage comrades gather with Kak Krein and Kak Shef, their shielders, unaware that it was a trap neatly arranged by Brother Andra.
What was waiting for him there was apparently Brother Mark who was ready to assist him.
With Brother Andra's telepathic abilities, the Silver Hero members can immediately gather, right in front of the remaining four Shadow Park teams that have gathered as well.
With the absence of their long-range attackers, Team Shadow Park's absolute had been harmed from the start. It seemed, the Silver Hero Team had planned this beforehand.
Kak Shef's defense which is still weak under Kak Glen's skill is forced to make Kak Krein have to help him while being wary of Senior Asario's sudden attack with his cross-dimensional slash skill like that time.
Kak Krimson seeks to take the initiative with Kak Krein's support to use his deadly poison.
That's the key to failure. No one expected, though, Lia was able to use the heroine-type magic gun I gifted her first by combining it against Kak Andra's skill to reverse the poison directed at them into the barrier pyramid formed by Kak Krein.
The poison quickly spread into the pyramid's barrier.
Kak Krimson's poison was so powerful even for his own comrades who had always been by his side. And worse, unlike Chika, Kak Krimson secretes poison without having previously made his antidote to protect his comrades.
As a result, Kak Krein and Kak Syef immediately fell on the spot. Brother Ferdi was barely able to survive, but he still survived, even though he was dying.
After that, Kak Krimson began to lose his calm and his movements began to be read.
He was still able to survive Senior Asario's final attack thanks to Brother Ferdi's protection. However, Lia immediately gave a follow-up attack in which Kak Krimson was no longer able to struggle and lost.
The Silver Hero team won over Team Shadow Park without a single one of their participants being killed. This is the strength of the team that is able to win the fifth best champion in the international e-sport vrmmorpg team competition. They are not easy opponents to underestimate.

Then a few days quickly passed and the day of the final competition arrived.
We walked into the game room with so many reporters covering us. Well, it is only natural considering we have entered the top two which means our team and Silver Hero Team will represent Indonesia to the international level competition.
However, in those pauses, I felt someone about to approach me. No, it was a familiar sensation. She is Lia.
He just pulled me who was at the very back of the team to somewhere away from the crowd.
“Luca!”
Apply to me with a happy smile.
“Lia..”.
There were many things I wanted to say to her, but at the end of the day, not a single word was said.
“Hmm. At that time, I would absolutely not yield to Luca. Luca is the same, right?”
“Of course.”
We chatted something unimportant just before a loud voice suddenly rebuked us from behind.
“Hey, what are you doing?! Do you not know the ethics of the match that fellow enemies are prohibited from meeting each other right before the game!”
It was Senior Asario who was angry and dragged Lia with him.
However, a moment later, Senior Asario turned back to look at me then said,
“Ce... Luca, I make sure I will take revenge for my embarrassing defeat the other day in this match. Hence, I prepared it thoroughly through various trainings. So get ready.”
After that, Senior Asario then turned back to leave me with Lia.
I momentarily smiled feeling the earnestness of Senior Asario's strong determination.
‘Yeah, I won't play easy with Senior.’ either
I murmured in my heart. However, I was a little curious that it seemed that Senior Asario said something before mentioning my name. But it might not be important, since he didn't say it.
Then the competition began.
***
“Type of matches in this final round is the last survival on the battle one on one!”
Unexpectedly, to determine the champion one among us, was done with the usual one on one method of fighting. The difference is, the victory is not determined from the number of wins, but rather who last survives.
Anyone who still wins the battle in battle one on one will fight again with opponents who also still survive until there is only one team left between them.
In short, like me, Egi, Senior Areka, and Brother Brian lost, but Brother Malik still survives, there is still hope for us to win if Malik alone is able to defeat the remaining four opponents.
The determination of the first opponent was done by the method of a draw, and the result was:
\=\=\=
Silver Hero Club vs White Star Club
Lia vs Areka
Glen vs Malik
Medina vs Brian
Mark vs Luca
Asario vs Egi
***
In the first round, Lia of the Silver Hero Team had to face off against Areka, a senior she had long known at the amateur club she joined at Pelita Harapan High School.
“Senior, don't be rude to me yes.”
“It is precisely I who should say that.”
There is a horror in the heart of Areka precisely because they have known him for a long time, Areka more or less knows the true power of Lia hidden behind her cute face.
The match began and exceeded his expectations, Lia's movement was so fast that it could not be followed by Areka.
Areka floated her chuni series skill, unfortunately, Lia's movements were too nimble to be captured by that skill.
The rope-trap skill that Luca had previously taught him immediately traps Areka without a fight. His shield was thrown away just then in one fell hit of Lia's magic, Areka lost.
The winner was Lia in this first round.
Then entering the second round, there was a fight between magic and sword, between Glen the fire element and Malik the ice element.
For this fight, there is no question. The White Star team soon followed their lead with Malik the swordsman's victory. Malik's rapid movements were unable to be repelled by a single long-range magic from Glen. Quickly, Malik approached and slashed at Glen and lost.
Entering the third match, it was the match of Medina the tamer against Brian the fire mage.
No one expected that Medina who had spread her legs to the international scene had to lose to the mage who had been standing in the shadow of the swordsman Malik.
Brian is indeed a great player who also became captain in his team since the year he joined three years ago. His ability is not far from the more famous Malik at his club. It's just that no one has realized his ability since Brian has an innate that is inversely proportional to his skill.
Then, in the fourth match, came the match between fellow assassins, Mark and Luca.
