August 25th, the day of the tournament arrived. All players invited to the tournament were asked to log in early in the morning for a meet-up. The players are summoned to a giant square. The location was unknown to everyone or it wasn’t included in the game. It was a special area created only for the tournament.Emerging from blue light. Kaede appeared in the middle of many players. They turned their heads the moment Kaede made an appearance. This is proof that Kaede is one of the most popular players in the game by now. But not everyone was pleased upon seeing Kaede. Some players do stare at Kaede sharply and are annoyed by her. In another way, some look at her with a smile.Familiar faces were also seen in the square. Melida and Elise can also be seen. Melida meets eyes with Kaede and waved her hand. Kaede waves back. Saying that their rivalry was in a friendly manner.“Kaede, I’ve been waiting for you did get my message?”“Well…”Kaede scratch her cheeks using her finger and averte
A virtual space was constructed. A tall Building descended from the ground. Battle frontier stadium resembles a lot of modern-day cities. Cable trains and skyscrapers can also be seen. The dimensions fall between 100-130 yards (90-120m) long and 50-100 yards (45-90m) wide. Similar to a football field. Other players waiting for their battle spectate from the square with a giant monitor broadcasting the tournament live. Similar to the real world, the Summer cup can also be watched on streaming sites. Demon king guild (Kaede’s team) Kaede level 100 Yuki level 76 Clover level 52 Ronie level 55 Saya level 57 Holy Heroes Guild (Melida’s team) Melida level 107 Elise level 80 Amber level 98 Mellie level 60 Nell level 60 “Summer cup first round… Demon king Guild vs Holy heroes Guild! The battle starts!” Alice announces cheerfully. Accompanied by fireworks the battle was triggered to start. “Amber, Mellie, and Nell joined Melida’s team…” “The summer cup required a team to have
“That was brutal… In mid-air, Player Saya was destroyed into pieces by Player Elise! The first point was to give to the Holy heroes guild! I wonder what the demon king’s guild will do with their marksman absence.”Alice announced.“Light laser, Hound and Viper… Those skills are extremely hard to focus on and aim for. That skill also used too much MP. That player must have lots of MP to pull off a stunt like that.”“Yeah, because of that only a few players used that skill. That skill can be bought in the skill market on the first floor. It's not even rare, but here is used in an extremely dangerous way.”“They are definitely on another level than us normal players.”Players said while spectating. Behind the group of players commenting with a terrified expression on their faces. A man behind them was chilling out as he watch the battle from the square.“This is a good start… They both look like a strong guilds. Their clashing with each other means one of them will be defeated. I feel ba
It happened a long time ago. Under the orange sky and peaceful street. While walking back home from school. Kaede is on my side optimistically smiling looking up into the orange-dye sky.“I wonder what kind of dinner we're having tonight? I wish it to be hamburger steak. Yuki, why do you look so spaced out?”“Sorry, are you saying something?”“Are you thinking about games? You’re already good at it. So don’t worry. No one in our class can be you in games.”“I suppose your right? Well, games are all I have. I’m not as wealthy or smart as Kaede. I always need to do my best and made extra effort in every other thing.”That’s right, games are all I have.I'm only good in games after all.While playing games. I feel invincible because I’m strong. People look at me with a glimmer in their eyes because I’m strong.But that arrogance of mine ended in the middle of early middle school. Going up on a tournament. I face a girl that’s a lot stronger than me. Everything happened in a flash, She de
At the very last moment of Elise. She manages to grab Kaede’s blade and cast a skill right in front of her in point-blank range. From her hand, lightly traveled in a straight line to Kaede’s chest. Piercing her chest armor and by force, Kaede pushed away at a 20-meter distance from Melida and Elise. Elise's Hp drops down to zero and her body is illuminated in light. With the effect of broken glass, her body disappeared in light. After Elise's defeat, Kaede’s team gain another point leading to a tie. Elise opened her eyes and saw herself back in the waiting room with the other defeated teammates. She looks back to the battle and is amazed at how Kaede manages to survive a direct attack from her. In the other waiting room, Yuki solved the puzzled about how Kaede managed to survive the attack earlier. The answer to that was simple. Kaede has the skill called Sturdy body. Sturdy body skill (Passive) causing the Player to have 1 HP remaining if another Player/monster attack or magic/eff
Leaving great shock in every player who witnesses the number one player's strength. Player Arvam turned his back as if nothing had happened. Because the battle ended immediately the third round started. Arvam and his team goes back to the square and walked to Kaede’s position. Look down on Kaede. Arvam muttered his words to Kaede. “I thought you’re a great player… Watching your battle earlier. I guess you’re just someone who relies on her luck. Someone like won’t be able to defeat me.” Kaede has no response to his words. She merely clenched her fist and averted her eyes away from Arvam. She knows that she won the first battle with luck. She is troubled and lost confidence. She can’t say anything to Arvam because it is obvious how strong he was. While Kaede is in trouble. Her four teammates stepped forward in front of Kaede. Looking with raging eyes at Arvam. Annoyed with Avram's guts they all confronted him. “Luck is also an attribute to win. Without good luck, you can still b
The Summer cup is ongoing. Strong players gathered to claim the title of the strongest in the entire game. After Kaede and her team defeated their opponent. They show Arvam that their skills don’t rely entirely on their luck. Kaede wanted their enemy to know that they also worked hard to reach the place where therein.As both players stare daggers at each other. The intensity of their rivalry grows stronger. This rivalry also gives hype to other players and spectators.After Kaede’s battle, the next team is about to start.Group of five players with all young women on it. Valkyrie Guild steps forward.“It's our turn… Have any plans Valkyrie?”“Yeah, After this, I’m planning to have some pork stew for dinner. Nope, maybe I’ll do roast pork with rice instead.”She said seriously while drooling.“That’s what you’re thinking… But Roast pork for dinner seems good.”“Val-chan and Mio sure are gluttons. Why I’m with this team again?”“No one likes you being here. You can go now… Shu~ Shu~”“
“Chicken or beef?”Valkyrie asked Fuyuno. Fuyuno remains silent for a second before suddenly making a puzzled expression on her face.“Chicken or beef? I’ve been thinking about what's more delicious. Can you help me find out?”“Hell that I care about that… But I prepared chicken.”In the middle of a serious fight. Fuyuno still has her chance to reply to such questions asked of her. Valkyrie after hearing Fuyuno’s answer smiled gently.“Same here, I quite fond of chickens…”From a faraway distance, a long bullet flies to Valkyrie, it was a long shot for Ayane. The chance of hitting was close to none, but the bullet miraculously fly straight to Valkyrie.Before the bullet hits, The target, Valkyrie. Move her sword gently to defect the bullet coming on her like it was nothing. The detection skill and danger awareness were too high and Fuyuno didn’t expect it.“I would like to share a meal with you, but for now let's fight… Like real warriors from heaven.”She then raised her sword. She
