The Newbie Is Too Strong's
78. Luca and his Unwearing Meeting with Asario
The match is over. From afar, Luca could clearly see the sad expression of Lia despite her team's victory. One thing Luca could have guessed, Lia was not satisfied with her appearance that was not optimal.
Luca was heading towards her. However, the many fans from the Silver Hero Team who had been queuing up since earlier in front of the road, blocking Luca's move to reach Lia.
At that moment, the,
“Hai, you.. You're Luca right?” A middle-aged woman in a career woman's signature outfit with a long-sleeved shirt and trousers that were the same color as beige and wearing glasses, greeted Luca.
“You're really Luca, right? Wow, your appearance is the same as in the game. I thought it was a Photoshop edit because your face was too handsome. But you're what you are in the game apparently except for your hair color. But well, according to Sister anyway, it is precisely the color of blonde hair with a little mix of black like this, more looks handsome than in the game.”
The woman unceasingly praised Luca's appearance. Beside the woman, there had been a figure that Luca knew well. It's Malik, Nina's heart.
Luca looks back and forth between the woman and Malik. A moment later, the lamp on Luca's head lit up.
“Ah, don't-don't Kak Kirana ya?”
“Kakak?” Malik muttered in astonishment when someone in his teens like Luca, calling the middle-aged woman Big Brother.
Kirana looked back at Malik with a look of intimidation and then Malik immediately turned his gaze away while smiling awkwardly.
“Iya, right. I'm Kirana. Dik Luca can't recognize me huh with the appearance of Big Brother in the real world like this?”
“Hmm. How to say yes. Sister looks older with this appearance.”
Instantly Kirana's glasses broke upon hearing Luca's overly honest comments. Malik beside her seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter. However, Kirana tried to ignore everything.
“Uhum.” Kirana.
“By the way, Luca is here because it supports one of the team?”
“Iya, I'm here to support my girlfriend.”
Kirana's cracked glasses were cracked again.
Malik stared in disbelief as he asked, “So who's your boyfriend? Archer Shadow Park or cleric Silver Hero?”
“Lia Brother, cleric Silver Hero.” Luca answered quickly to Malik's multiple choice question.
Malik whistled in admiration. But Kirana soon took over the conversation.
“Forget that. Anyway a person as great as you, should not join the Silver Hero Team huh, Luca. You should join our team, White Star Team!” Kirana raised her voice, emphasizing that she was very serious about recruiting Luca.
Luca smiled too.
“No, Sister Kirana. More than anyone, I know best, that team doesn't suit me. After all they already have a great Brother Mark there. If anything, the team that suits me best is the White Star Team. I've watched Malik's fight just now. As expected of Kak Nina's idol. Brother Malik is amazing.”
Malik is blushed by Luca's praise even though he himself is astonished by who Nina mentioned by Luca was, while Kirana is getting more and more enthusiastic.
“What does that mean you are willing to join our team, Luca?” Said Kirana with a crisp face.
However, Luca shook his head. Instantly the face lost its light.
“I haven't decided yet, Brother Kirana. But one thing, can I challenge a round of Big Brother over there?” Luca answered while looking at Malik.
“You want to challenge me? Hmm.” Malik looked doubtful as he looked back and forth between Kirana and Luca.
“Bo..”
“Luca!”
“Tak no no no no.” The sound of his shoes was clearly heard. Someone's chasing Luca off the stage.
“Hah, huh, huh, huh. Sorry to wait so long, Luca. I have to face the reporters' questions first.”
It was Lia who seemed out of breath because she ran with the atmosphere of a crowded room that was lacking oxygen.
Lia's gaze also met with Luca, as soon as Lia's face rubbed. He was sad because he displayed an embarrassing scene when his girlfriend watched the final match. If it wasn't for Asario, their team would have already lost.
“Then we say yes, Luca. Our team over there is already waiting for us.” Seeing the atmosphere of lovey dovey, Kirana and Malik immediately understood and resigned them.
They stepped away, but after a few steps, Kirana turned back to Luca.
“Remember yes, Luca, you are destined for the White Star Team!” Kirana shouts a little timidly before she and Malik step away to join her team again.
As a result, the match between Luca and Malik seems to have to be postponed for now.
Luca looked towards Lia. He realized that sad expression.
“I can't say Lia's match was good. Lia should not run recklessly against Kak Krimson, releasing protection from Kak Toni at a time when there are also archers and mages in the back who are ready to support him with a long-range attack. Especially Brother Krimson is nimble. Lia should have realized it.”
“So, Luca also thinks the same yes with the coach and Asario yes.” Hearing Luca's honest comments, Lia grew sad.
However, Luca immediately shook his head while smiling wryly.
“No to Lia's weak defensive ability as of now. After all, Lia was a battle healer who shone in the match. If Lia also had defensive skills capable of supporting Lia's karate attack style on the field, Lia would definitely be a great fighter.”
“But if I activate my defensive skills, I cannot attack.” Lia half muttered.
“How about in the near future we travel to the Kingdom of Indiya in the game? Coincidentally, I got a mission from Uncle Heisel that was quite interesting. All at once, I have a special gift for you.”
Lia's face instantly blushed knowing Luca's romantic side was outside her mouth which could sometimes lead to infighting.
Without hesitation, Lia replied, “Good, of course, Luca.” Her smile was bright as if forgetting her stress just now.
“Here you are apparently, Mr. Princess.” Asario was already behind Lia while looking at Lia with a very condescending expression.
Luca, who had realized his arrival, did not take his eyes off Asario for a second.
“Nona! Huh, huh, huh, huh. There, Miss apparently. Don't suddenly just run away, miss. I desperately searched for you.” Andra arrived, coming to Lia.
Asario's gaze then turned to Luca who had been staring at him with an uncomfortable look.
“So this brat yeah, cause you skipped training. That is why you do not perform optimally in the match.” Said Asario in a low tone, full of contempt.
“Senior! Stopit! I lost because this is what I am capable of right now! There is a wall that I have not been able to pass through yet! This has nothing to do with Luca! So Senior should just shut up!” Seeing Asario's ominous behavior towards her boyfriend, Lia was unable to contain her anger.
On the other hand, Asario is angry about Lia's concentration recently broke because of the presence of the young man named Luca who was in front of him, even a few days before the match, he said, Lia who also brought Andra to skip training in order to make the newbie in front of him level up.
There's no one word that Asario would say best for someone like Luca,
PARASITES.
An incapable person who clings to a strong person in order to be able to level up easily without much effort.
