The Newbie Is Too Strong's
7. An NPC Who Found His First Friend
“Gentlemen, let's welcome in the left corner there is Bento, fighter from Team White Star.”
It seemed that everyone was cheering on the new player from the White Star. The audience in the room almost all supported the White Star Team as a veteran team that never separated the top eight from the national level vrmmorpg for 7 consecutive years. Moreover, they managed to get fifth place in the championship last year.
Compared to White Star, the name Silver Hero itself was still unfamiliar to the ears of the audience. That's because the e-sport pro team itself has only officially entered the championship starting this year. Moreover, almost all of their members are still high school children. Not many knew of them other than their achievements brilliantly defeating Team Wolf Fang in the previous preliminary match.
“Then from the right corner there is Andra, scout from Silver Hero.” Team
- Eh, again they sent players with weak classes?
Hardly a clap of hands was heard when it was Andra's turn to take the stage. Instead, it was the angled whispers of the audience questioning Andra's class that sounded a lot.
Almost all the spectators hoped that Bento would win. It was not because they were all really fanatics of White Star, either, but mostly just because they are not willing to lose the betting money they have already placed for White Star because of their belief in the talented veteran team that is impossible to lose against the new team stand up this year.
Each player then sits in the arena according to the place provided and then begins to wear their own mindfulness bando. A moment later, the body of their avatar was seen on the screen and the fight began.
In accordance with the superiority of his class, the fighter Bento immediately ran crashing towards the scout Andra without a shield. But in just a glance, it appears Bento suddenly shrewd and lost 50 percent of his healt point.
“Eh, how can you?” Nina from the audience was astonished by this.
Luca who had little experience during his stay in the game The Last Gardenia then gave him an explanation,
“Sense of confussion. It was a rare special skill of the scout class that was extremely troublesome. The skill can disrupt the opponent's sensory and motor nerve responses, causing their movements to become chaotic. For example, we want to move the left hand, but what actually moves is the right foot, and so on.” Luca explained while demonstrating.
“Wah, the skill is dangerous. But by the way, how do you know that information? Didn't you say you've never played vrmmorpg?”
“Vira what? If the information just now, I had time to read it in the manual given by Kak Derickson.” Luca replied innocently to Nina's question.
“Whose Derickson's brother? What country's name is that? What's the guidebook for what you read anyway?
Nina interrogates Luca as she increasingly doesn't understand what the boy is saying. However, Nina had not had time to interrogate Luca further, the audience suddenly returned boisterous. It seemed that the fight in the arena had reached the final stage.
The scout Andra ran up to Bento whose sense seemed still chaotic and slashed at him. In just three slashes, without the slightest resistance, Bento finally reached health point zero and then lost the fight. Once again a victory for the Silver Hero Team.
The score reached 0 – 3 so that even though the remaining 2 fights continued, regardless of the results of the match, the Silver Hero Team will still outrank the score. Therefore, the match was stopped with an absolute victory for the Silver Hero Team.
“Long. Whatisthis? White Star team lost without Mr Malik had appeared?” Nina was still fixated, seemingly in disbelief at what she had just witnessed.
“No, there must still be hope for the White Star Team to win. This is just one of G's group stage matches. The score while Team White Star and Team Silver Hero each gained 6 points, while Team Passionate and Team Wolf Fang were still 0 points. For the remaining matches..”.
Hopefully anxious, Nina stared at the match screen.

“What is this, all the White Star Team matches are over while the Silver Hero Team still has one match? And if until the Silver Hero Team defeats the Passionate Team, it will automatically be their team who will represent Group G to the semifinals? That means, Mr Malik will immediately fall in the preliminary round? No, this is unlikely to happen.”

“Sister Mark, Brother Mark.”
Mark looked up when he heard his name called. Apparently the one who called him was Luca who was chasing towards his team for the sake of meeting him.
“Fight earlier, Brother was great!”
Luca unceasingly praised Mark's prowess to the point of making Mark blush in shame. That's where Lia came forward with her stunning smile towards Luca. Luca seemed a little stunned by her beauty.
“Mbak is very beautiful like Sister Keporin.” Luca said stunned.
Lia did not know who was Little Sister mentioned by Luca, but the words of Luca who called himself beautiful, made her heart persimmon. He then gave his sweetest smile to Luca which added to make the plain man's cheeks reddened.
“You must have greatly admired Mark yes, Sister.” Lia stared at Luca.
“Of course Mbak because Kak Mark is so great.”
“Hehe.” Mark blushed in embarrassment at Luca's praise while touching the area under his nose with the side of his index finger looking bragging.
“But Ma'am, it's like we're the same age. So it's not right to call me Brother. Just call me Luca.”
“Eh, is that so? How old are you?”
Hearing the words coming from the man who looked younger than her that she was actually the same age, Lia could not bear to ask Luca's age. In his heart, he hoped that Luca had guessed his age was younger than he should have been because his face actually looked youthful.
“Fifteen years.”
Lia's momentary expectation was lost, but she didn't think too much about it. Rather than that, he had more than expected that the sweet sister before him was apparently the same age as him.
“Eh, fifteen years? You look younger than you should.”
“Hehehehehe, indeed many say so Mbak.”
“Then I call you Luca. You should call me Lia. Agreed?”
“Siap Mbak.”
“Hmmm.” Lia while sulking because Luca immediately forgot his words.
“Ah, I mean, ready, Lia.”
Lia smiled with satisfaction when Luca finally mentioned her name.
“Oh yes, how about we exchange contacts so we can contact-rebellion after this?” Take Lia to Luca.
“Contact is what Lia?” But unfortunately, the innocent boy did not understand Lia's words at all.
“Contacts to contact each other. Don't have a smartphone?” Ask Lia back to Luca.
Luca then recalled the diary left by his mother to him. In the diary, his mother also mentioned about the smartphone, so more or less Luca had an idea about it.
“Ah, did Lia friendlist mean on that particular tool huh? Too bad, I don't have smaspon.”
Lia chuckled as Luca's mouth slipped a little as he said the word smartphone. Lia did not know that Luca was not familiar with the word.
Lia then pulled a piece of paper in her memo and took out her beautiful pen. He wrote down his phone number on the piece of paper and handed it to Luca.
“If there is anything and need help, Luca is free to contact me anytime.” Said Lia with a smile so bright nak angel from heaven.
