After the individual matches are completed are held for the top 15 participants. Now all the participants have returned to their respective companies. So did the four participants from The Waves.
The results have shown four people will advance in the semifinals. The four are currently a hot conversation for Virtual Evo Game lovers.
It's not just them that's the conversation. But other participants too. Not only are there positive conversations, but there are many negative ones.
@StagnanHope: It's a pity Halfie is thin with the same points as Ann. Maybe if Halfie doesn't perform first, can break through the semifinals.
@DenisFan: Aro is a strong comeback.
@Sassie: Liam cool woy, can survive in the top four even though performing in the beginning.
@Weldo: Aro fight same drone really-no pity.
@SaltedEgg: Yesampun Archie, are you not ashamed that your company has qualified all the way to the semifinals, uh our last place, Hahahahah.
Archie who read the last comment only smiled wryly. He did not need any words of encouragement at this time, because there were things to do. Although still a little furious with the comments of netizens.
The second day after the round of 15 was over, Archie still fiddled with the program until night. All he did because of the things suggested by Kelvin as his leader.
That night, after finishing the program, Archie gets a phone call. He picked up the phone without further ado and did not see whose name he was calling.
“Halo?”
“Meli? This is Father,” Archie who heard that his father who called him was touched and immediately stood up from his chair.
After taking a sip of his salivation, Archie instantly avenged his father. “What's up, dad? Tumben phone.”
“You gapapa?” father says. Hearing his father say that, his heart melted. It was as if his father knew that his son was not doing well after the game.
“Iya Dad, I gapapa. Just a bit sad just the same result,” replied Archie.
After that they talked because they had not shared the news for a long time. Archie's mother has not been around since Archie was 15, and her father decided to work out of town.
At the age of 15, he signed up to be a member of The Waves. Passed a variety of feasibility tests into ‘wari’ Virtual Evo Game. Archie did not expect to escape, even though he was ranked backward.
A few hours they both called until it was very late. They ended the conversation and Archie began to rest.

The next day…
The semi-final match will be in a month. It was long enough to wait, but it was indeed enough time to prepare everything. Either participants, operators, or the committee.
Archie is currently in the main office of The Waves. There's Kelvin there. Archie demos the program he created in front of Kelvin. The Waves leader smiled proudly after Archie finished his presentation.
“I am interested in everything you show, and I also agree for you to use it later. You also really understand the team,” said Kelvin.
“How? Have you thought about it?” continued.
Archie had already weighed the things offered by Kelvin in the operator's room inside the monitoring arena and the outside garden of the Vex Building at that time.

“If there is an operator in The Waves, maybe I can learn to be an operator,” he said while revising the project.
“You want to try?” say someone behind him. Archie was shocked when he heard it, his entire body stiffened.
The Waves ain't no ghost, are you? His mind, while slowly looking back, and he was surprised to see who it was.
“Pak Kelvin?” suddenly, Archie immediately stood up to stay polite with the leader.
Kelvin just nodded lightly with a smile. Archie was confused, why was the leader in the operator's room?
“So you said, want to be an operator? I can help you. The Waves seems to have to have an operator division,” he said.
Archie was silent and tried to digest back what Kelvin had said. He catches the point is, he can be an operator. But she felt it was too soon to be an operator.
“But sir, if for now is it not too sudden? That is, I am still a candidate from Group F, Pak.”
“What if you are from Group F? Are you not a member of Group B? I think you can be both. Players and operators for others,” Kelvin replied.
Archie's mouth was wide open, not expecting to hear it directly from Kelvin.
“You can join operator training as soon as possible. Take it easy, I will take care of everything. After all, it has been a long time The Waves does not have an operator,” continued Kelvin. Archie's forehead wrinkled in an incomprehensible manner.
“I mean father, The Waves used to have an operator division?” tanyanya slow.
Kelvin laughs. “The first batch operator is here now,” Kelvin replied.
“Bapak used to be the operator?” asked Archie who did not believe what he realized.
Kelvin nodded. “Iya, I used to be the operator for the founder of The Waves. Zaoline.”
Archie closed his mouth that was opened very wide. He knows that Zaoline is the founder and member of The Waves, and participated in the Virtual Evo Game game a few years ago.
But he did not know that Kelvin was the operator of Zaoline at that time. The circumstances at that time made Archie become very clumsy.
“I became the operator from the beginning Zaoline participated in the match. Ever since his decline from the Virtual Evo Game, he asked me to take the lead here now. However, the operator division was short of people at the time. As a result, Zao disbanded this division before he resigned,” explained Kelvin.
Archie recalls Zaoline's speech when she quit The Waves and VEG. He also remembered when Kelvin was touted as Zaoline's successor to become the leader of The Waves, and Archie also became a member of The Waves during Kelvin's leadership.
“After your match is over, you can join operator training where I trained first. You can be an operator for anyone later,” said Kelvin.
Archie thinks he wants to be the operator. While the colleagues who compete with him, it seems not too need the role of operator. Given their abilities, they are already very shrewd.
But considering that Aro helped Liam make him think, sometimes even great people need the help of others. He also thinks that being an operator makes it more useful.
“Pak, if I am the operator of Kak Aro, can I?”
Archie's question at the time made Kelvin a little surprised. Kelvin looked at him in surprise, as he found out how great Aro was even to compete without the help of an operator at all.
“You sure?”
Archie nodded steadily. Since that time, after training for VEG, the woman has often come to the laboratory of the operator. Sometimes he often asked Delaney what he needed to play.
The woman looks quite diligent in practicing as an operator and also a VEG participant. However, since losing his match in the round of 15 made him think it was not enough to do everything.
He was pondering outside the Vex Building at the time, not expecting Kelvin to hear his grunt. Hearing the words that he could become anything, made him even more courageous.
“I have a plan for you. Want to listen to it?” Archie nodded, then they started talking about something. At that time Kelvin remembered that Archie wanted to be an operator for Aro.
Kelvin offered him special training for Archie to become an operator, where he used to train before moving to The Waves. The leader had not informed Aro anything about his plan to pair Aro and Archie.
“You can practice there first. Hows it? You want?” bargain Kelvin.
“But sir, I can still be a player, right?”
“As I said earlier, you can be anything.”

“How? Have you thought about it?” continued.
Archie had already weighed the things offered by Kelvin in the operator's room inside the monitoring arena and the outside garden of the Vex Building at that time.
“Iya, Sir. I want to join his training,” replied Archie.
Kelvin nodded. “OK, you can join the training from tomorrow there. I will tell Aro to be paired with you if he can make it to the final,”
“But, Sir? What about the three of them in the semifinals? I can't help them at all because it has to be training,” Ask Archie.
“You don't have to worry about them.”
Archie nodded in understanding. “Good, Sir.”
That night, he prepared everything. He had already informed Delaney that he was leaving, and Delaney had also known about it because Archie himself told the story. He did not say goodbye to Aro, Liam, and Ann for fear of disturbing the three seniors.
The next morning, Archie was out of the room. He walked straight to the exit of the building. From a distance, Aro who was leaning his shoulders on the wall saw Archie step outside the building.
Aro recalled that last night, he was called by Kelvin.
“I know why you called me. About Archie, right?” ask Aro.
“Where do you know? Even I haven't talked about it,” Kelvin replied.
“As I said back then. I know why you chose him to compete,” said Aro. Kelvin was silent while looking at him.
“Good. Hows it? Would you like to be paired with Archie?”
Aro fell silent, then exhaled. “After I trained with him these few months, saw all his potential even hidden. Yes, I want.”
Aro smiled faintly as he looked at Archie who had already boarded the car to get to his training ground.
