Chapter 496 – Chapter 496 – Finals!
“Are you just eating a boxed lunch? Of course it’s free!”
In the waiting room, some staff brought packed lunches.
I thought about going out for a while and having lunch.
I also saw a few other players go to other places when lunchtime came.
However, I was also curious about the taste of the lunch boxes distributed in the arena.
He sighed and raised his hand to signal that he was going to eat.
“Oh, hey, here you go!”
The employee holding the lunchbox was awkward and handed me the lunchbox.
After all, this outfit still has a strong impression.
However, this reaction is rather better than when recruiting muscle wagons, which are always done in the adventurer’s guild.
Now, since I also make a lot of money, I think of it as almost charity work, and I am still recruiting… Now I am an S-rank adventurer.
Rather, because of its popularity, other novice adventurers do not want to use my muscle wagon.
Even now, I am in the adventurer’s guild through my clone in real time, watching Melissa and Lenny work diligently, or talking to Mr. Kelvan, who visits from time to time.
In Fledan, he uses his alter ego to act as usual.
Go to the dungeon alone, use various skills, catch monsters, and deliver them to Mr. Kelvan.
At night, I write consuls to Miranda, Melissa, and Lenny, and show them how they are doing in Camel.
Oh, come to think of it, let’s make a video call through the consul tonight.
Tina would also like to see Miranda’s face in her.
I made a plan for tonight and ate the lunch box distributed by the staff.
It was a rice for fighting players, so I was personally very satisfied with the meat.
While eating, I looked around at the players who stayed with me and ate their lunches.
Some people I saw when I first entered this room, others I saw for the first time.
It must be the person who was treated in the treatment room, guided by the staff, and assigned to this room.
As proof of that, I couldn’t even see a person named Sink, who should have won.
… Did I have to go to the treatment room instead of going right back? I thought, but if it was really like that, the staff would have told me separately, so it would be okay.
As I waited for my meal, I heard a live voice.
【Everyone! Did you enjoy your meal! The Round of 16 starts now! First of all, the first match of the round of 16 is…】
Unlike the round of 32, in the round of 16, the staff didn’t tell me what order I was in, so I waited patiently for my name to be called.
【Next, the last match of the Round of 16! It’s a match between Sink and Roger!]
My turn was last.
I got up and walked towards the arena.
When I showed up at the arena, the live broadcaster said in an excited voice.
【In the round of 32, Roger, the mysterious golden warrior, showed great reckless power along with dynamic evasion using bind! What kind of performance will we show you this time!
And the opponent is a sink player who fooled the opponent with his flashy swordsmanship and split the game with an intense stab at once! I am very much looking forward to the match between the two! Isn’t that right, Mr. Raou!]
【Aside from these two, there are players who stand out for their first participation in this tournament. But I’m also very interested in these two.]
I stood facing the sink.
Sink snorted and told me.
“Heh, I really thought we’d meet at the next match. You’re out of luck too.”
【Now, the last match of the round of 16!】
“To be honest, I was bored waiting. Besides, I have to go to the quarterfinals today…”
【This is the beginning!!!】
“I’m sorry, but I have to finish it right away!”
Sreung!
As soon as the match started, Sink pulled out the rapier from his waist and stabbed it right at me.
Looking at the rapier approaching me, I thought.
Sink is someone who is very confident in their skills.
In other words, it’s a little bit too much.
There are some things I agree with Sink’s words.
One is that waiting is boring.
Of course, while I was waiting, I wasn’t bored talking with Mr. Soli while discussing what technique to use in the next match, but I had a feeling of when the match was going to start.
And the other was that I was out of luck.
Of course, I’m not the only one out of luck.
Keying!
“What!?”
Sink
【Amazing! Roger player! Blocked the sink player’s sword with only his sword! What happened to this, Mr. Raou!]
I wrapped magic around my index finger to create a plausible effect, then blocked Sink’s rapier with my index finger.
【Perhaps the magic wrapped around that index finger was concentrated and strengthened to defend itself.】
【Oh, that way!】
It’s just that I radiate magic power to look cool.
“Keugh!”
Shush shush shush shush!
Sink took a half step back and attempted a series of stabs at me.
And I blocked each and every one of those stabs with my fingers.
Kiki Kiki Kiki King!
【Sink player’s continuous thrust explodes! But everything ends up being blocked by Roger’s fingers!]
【To block all of those swift thrusts… The visual acuity of the body is very good.]
In fact, it was slower than Noah’s attack, which I usually see while sparring, so it was very easy to block.
In terms of skill, sync was weaker than the signal I fought in the first round.
For reference, that signal is also weaker than that of Noah.
If two of them were to fight Noah, before he could even begin his attack, Noah would quickly charge in and slash both of their throats in one blow.
Of course, the two are not weak.
If I put it at the level of a squad, it probably has a level of C rank.
Rather, if you think about it, you can say that Noah’s growth is very fast.
He hunted in the dungeon almost every day and sparred with Mr. Niña, Mr. Graycia, Mr. Raifa, and me, who had higher skills than himself, so his skills were growing.
… Of course, it is very good that lewdness has increased significantly more than skill.
“No, that’s ridiculous… My attack is… Uh, then how about this! Flame enchantment!”
Rurrrr
Flames coiled around Sink’s body.
“Home!”
The flames that enveloped the body focused on the rapier.
“Take it! My deadly secret! Flame Stinger!”
It seemed to be the fastest and most powerful technique out of all the techniques Sink had released so far, to the extent that it was said to be a deadly skill.
However, the firepower of the flame was weak compared to Raifa’s flame, and it was much slower than Niña’s stabbing speed.
Kiyiing!
Just like before, I caught Sink’s deadly move with my index finger.
“Ughhh!? No, that’s ridiculous!”
Confident Sink’s face was stained with astonishment, and in the gap I was.
Teeing!
He flicked Sink’s rapier with his finger and blew it away.
“Wow!?”
And this time, he gathered his mana and thrust his index finger towards Sink’s chest, creating a dramatic effect.
“Jigan.”
Woowook!
“Cuck!”
Sink crouched down on his knees, wrapping both hands around the area where his index finger had been stabbed.
That hurts so bad
【Player Roger! You snapped your fingers and blew away Sink’s sword! And Roger’s fingers, which went out as if retaliation for the stabbing! Sink player! I am suffering from the pain of being stabbed in his chest!]
【Obviously, Roger seems to be a player who has honed high-level body strengthening magic. Otherwise, such technology would be impossible.]
It’s just a normal physical spec.
I crossed my arms and spoke to the distressed sink, still clutching his chest.
“Are you going to do more?”
“Keugh, I won’t give up to this extent…”
“I get it.”
As soon as I confirmed Sink’s intention, I immediately moved behind the sink and hugged my belly.
“Huh!? What, what are you doing! Let go! What a sudden hug…”
“I respect your will and I’ll finish it right away!”
“What!?
And I flipped my body backwards with the sink still fixed.
Wow!
“Big… Billion!”
As it was, I cast German Suplex on Sink.
【Player Roger! I wanted to hug the sink player! I immediately leaned back and slammed the sinker to the ground!]
【This is a technique that seems difficult to execute unless you have flexible and strong back and abdominal muscles. It looks like the sink player has also lost consciousness.]
【Last match in round of 16! The winner was Roger, who showed amazing body strengthening magic and quickness. Duty squad! Please bring a sinker!】
The medics are coming towards us.
I let go of the sink and got up to look at the crowd.
I activated the zone and looked closely and saw not only my lovers, but also Galf’s father and Grappa’s father.
When I focused a little, I saw that the other Knights of the Round Table and King Yaseo were also there.
I also saw
Spectators cheering for the match.
And the expectation in their eyes.
I could have gone back to the waiting room like this.
But I still have things left.
It’s the victory ceremony!
I left it in the round of 32, but if I don’t leave it in the round of 16, that’s just sad!
Before the medical team approached, I extended my right index finger and stretched out my arm.
【Yes? Roger player! Suddenly, he raised his index finger and stretched out his arm his! What does that mean!】
【Isn’t it a sign of your aspiration to win the first place in the martial arts competition?】
From my place, I took about three steps forward, jumped up, and straightened my body, sticking my outstretched index finger into the floor.
【No!? Roger player! Stick your fingers into the floor and stand upright!]
【I can’t imagine what the hell you’re going to do.】
Spreading my legs out to make them straight, I twisted my waist and rotated my body with all my strength.
Pangrrrr
【No Ii Ii!!! Roger player! It’s spinning! It’s spinning with its index finger on the ground and legs extended!】
“Kyaaaaa!!!”
“What is that!”
“It’s not something humans would do!”
“This is a human Fang!”
But my ceremony doesn’t end there.
It just spins and when it’s over it’s kind of awkward
That’s why I gathered mana in the heels of my legs, turned them into wind, and sprayed them.
Wooooo!!!
I rotated even more fiercely with the addition of magical wind, and before long, I began to float in the air like a helicopter.
“Float, float! Rotate and float in the air!”
“Aaaaa!!! It’s a flying human fang!”
“Dope!!!”
“Why doesn’t the bucket fall!?”
That’s because it was fixed with a transparent magic weapon-made sticky so that it wouldn’t fall off.
【Player Roger! It spins furiously, and now it even starts to levitate! What the hell do you want to do! You can’t leave the arena like this, Roger! There are still 8 rounds left!]
I hear the voices of the bewildered live situation.
Don’t worry, I’m not leaving.
While floating in the air for some time, I checked the figures of the lovers with John.
Lovers were giggling and looking at me with soft smiles or holding their stomachs and laughing.
Ah, Galf’s father is washing his hair again.
I’m sorry.
But this one can’t be stopped!
I quickly flipped my body in the opposite direction to finish.
I could see that all the spectators’ eyes were on me.
Then, in front of all the spectators, I posed with my head raised, my right hand stretched out diagonally, and my left arm biceps.
“”Waaaaa!!!””
The crowd cheered all at once, probably realizing that everything I had just done was a victory ceremony.
【This is a pose! Roger player! Qualifiers! And following the round of 32, he took a victory pose again!]
【It seems that all the bizarre actions you just did were preparations for the victory ceremony.】
【This is too cumbersome and eccentric behavior! But this Riot! I don’t like that kind of behavior! Rather, it is very exciting! I can’t wait to see what kind of ceremony Roger will show us next!]
After that, I landed cleanly, waved at the crowd, and trudged back to the call room.
As I walked, I felt the cheers and attention of the enthusiastic crowd towards me, and I felt a sense of superiority and fulfillment.
Could it be that professional wrestlers perform radical performances because they like this feeling?
“Shall we do a pro wrestler cosplay tonight?”
3 days of sticky night with Mr. Soli dressed as a professional wrestler…
I’m very looking forward to it!
