The Newbie Is Too Strong's
236. Determination Duel (3)
When I looked at the names on the list of participants who escaped the top 15, there were two unexpected names on my mind.
First was Eren, the shield who had also faced me in the amateur vrmmorpg e-sport competition. However, by looking at his performance so far which was able to become the main force in the amateur team, I think it is only natural that he can progress to this extent.
The most unexpected of all was Senior Areka. Perhaps this is what the ants in the neighboring houses look like, but the elephant in the eye patch is invisible. I had previously thought that Senior Areka was great. But in order to defeat Lucifer's traitorous streak, Danu, the traitorous team leader, Alvian, and Kak Medina, I could never have thought of that before.
Unmistakably, Senior Areka has grown to a proud level.
Since the virtual battle room was divided into fewer, that is, out of the four spaces now the rest of the two rooms are used, I was finally able to see Senior Areka's fight itself.
But unfortunately, the opponent he chose this time was the traitor Hermanto who I had seen before his match when two against two with Egi. It was also Egi when it was dying so that the principle of Senior Areka was robbed by the traitor Hermanto and Alika.
Then after I watched the Senior Areka match and compared it to his last fight in the semifinal round of the team match with the same opponent, the traitor Hermanto, the traitor, I could see that Senior Areka's movements became more refined and she could be more flexible without feeling shy again using her skill the chuni series.
In a short time, Senior Areka threw down Hermanto's shield with a Lutfi impact and immediately hit Hermanto without his shield with a very hard blow that made Hermanto bounce very far which caused his collarbone and spine to break so he's game over in the arena.
Senior Areka really has grown very rapidly.
Unfortunately, for Eren himself, I was unable to watch the match. Not because he competed in another room, but this time he was not selected as an opponent by one participant. Well, it was only natural since the rank was low enough that the points earned to defeat him were also fairly low.
Then me?
I re-select Brother Mark this time as my opponent. I have to be vigilant since in this election match, there is a strict rule from the committee that prohibits the same opponent from meeting twice.
If you do not manage well who your opponent is in every game, then it is likely to be difficult for you to get an opponent in the last moments of the match that you may end up losing, instead, not because it is not able to defeat the opponent, but because it is not able to get an opponent about the remaining opponents all have been encountered.
As soon as the match began, Mark and I immediately collided quickly and showed off our assassin techniques.
It is seen that Brother Mark has a lot of training to fight opponents who are shorter than him. I can see maybe he used Gajel as a reference to his opponent. Although I can't imagine how a mage can seem to replace an assassin like me in a simulation of Brother Mark.
However, Brother Mark still shows clumsiness in some places.
I feint by targeting the left side of his body, but Brother Mark can avoid it. But who would have thought that I would throw sand at his eyes.
Brother Mark looks pretty bothered by that. Then without giving a chance to Brother Mark to think, I immediately punched under his chin up to make Kak Mark bounced.
Then with a combination of my rope and kunai, Brother Mark began to be cornered until finally bounced and no longer able to move when hit by a bomb that I hid in some parts of my rope.
That's how I finally beat Brother Mark in the fight.

In the next fight, I chose Brother Ferdi as my opponent. Actually since in the previous round I targeted it, just because Kak Malik chose it first, my intention must be postponed as much as one round.
When talking about conventional matches, fighters are the worst type of opponent for assassins since they have been accustomed to fatal injuries so it will usually be difficult to disturb them in stealth attacks.
However taking reference to the previous match against the Viandra, it would be effective to defeat a fighter-type opponent like this with poison to weaken their physique first before going on an all-out attack.
However, I had little doubt since he was Kak Krimson's poison master's partner. It was possible that he had a lot of immunity to poison looking back at the references of Kak Ferdi's previous fight in the semifinal round against the Silver Hero Team.
He can survive even though half-lives suck poison gas from Kak Krimson.
Alertly, I worked out my strategy by putting a slowly absorbing poison on the skin on every surface of my rope and my firefly.
I began my attack by stalling while keeping my distance from Kak Ferdi while waiting for the poison to work.
However, Brother Ferdi was soon able to close the distance between us immediately lunged in through the snares of my trapping rope with his extraordinary impact.
I lowered my body avoiding his deadly fist while fleeing through the area between his two leg slits. I tried to lock him up with my trapping ropes that were increasingly resisted and the bond would be tighter.
But it is clear the difference in strength with Viandra. Brother Ferdi is on another level. Instead, it was my rope that was easily cut off like a fragile thread.
In times of urgency, I also summoned my moon scythe to replace the bacilli-poisoned fang dagger I had previously used. I did it because according to my judgment, facing the opponent sealot Kak Ferdi is to prioritize defense. That's where the moon crescent is appropriately used because it can serve as an attacking tool as well as defense.
Finally, because it is limited by time, it is Kak Ferdi's stamina that first loosens, thanks to the influence of my poison which though slow, but finally works. Scratches by scratches crescent moon-ku also increasingly confiscate his stamina.
Unfortunately until the end, I failed to cast a single ultimate skill on him. Brother Ferdi collapsed first because he ran out of stamina about my poison.
Maybe there will be a lot of spectators who are a little disappointed by the end of our game that impressed anticlimax. But since then it has been the result of strategic thinking that I tried to prepare carefully, he said, it is not wrong to praise myself that it is also not my fault that I prepared for the match more maturely than him.
