New Life Online 200 Defender, Archer, Spellcaster Ii

"The players from Life guild who will partic.i.p.ate in the "Defender, Archer, Spell Caster" would be Elou, Akko, Lili, and Zia. It looks like Scy isn't here after all." Aika excitedly announced. They used their leaders as partic.i.p.ants, not really surprising. Though I'm pretty sure Scy was here.

"For the guild from the Other Side. Yeah, their guild name is the Other Side... Anyway, there will be Jay, Arvin, Briam, and Chara. New faces but I can feel a lot of talent from this guild." I hope so too.

I hate to say this but I've played rock paper and scissors against these three and... they lost every single time. I really don't need the money but I really want to win too.

"Get ready guys. The fight will start now. Please choose your first player from both sides."

"As the Captain of our guild. I will be the first to show my power!" Jay said with enthusiasm. I don't think talking like that would help you win. It's embarra.s.sing too.

"I guess, I'll show you how a marksman plays this game." Elou's the player in the opposing guild.

"Ok! So our first match would be Jay Renzo, the leader of a famous University Council here in our county, against Ethan Louis, the Olympic Gold Medalist in Archery. Will the Archer use the archer?! Let's see! Go to your positions. In a count of three from the screen, it will show us what you have chosen." Aika explained. Both of them went on the stage.

/Jay Renzo VS Ethan Louis/

They are getting ready as they wait for the countdown to finish.

*TIIIIIING!* Both of them used Defender! I don't know why, but I sensed what they used.

"It looks like they both used the Defender! Did Jay really think that Ethan would use Archer? This is really intense!" I was right and no, it's not intense at all.

"Well, most of the first results are the same but let's see if they will change their moves." President Maximus commented.

"Ok! Get ready for another round!"

*TIIIIIIING!* Elou used Defender and Jay used Archer! Jay hand gesture was so obvious that even I can feel it. I don't know what's happening but I can feel what they are doing.

"What?! Ugh.." Jay said out of frustration.

"It looks like Ethan landed the first hit! One more and Jay will be out!" Ethan is on the upper hand here. He's an archer and he can easily see Jay's hand when they start and he can easily plan what to use. We really are in a pinch here.

They started again and both of them used Defender.

"Another tie! This next round will show us who is the winner!" Even if we switch teammates, there's no way we can win against this guy...

Jay is kind of startled. Relax Jay, you can't win when you're not in the right mood to fight. I've been with him for a while now and I can tell that sometimes, he thinks too much. Also, Elou's trying to mock him by showing him that he can read his moves by using defender again.

"I really need to win. I can buy a lot of things for the prize money. I will use my secret move!" Jay... that's really lame.

"I can't let you win. Aurora there said that I should win or she'll kill me for some reason." Elou replied. It seems like Zia and Aurora need the cash because of their bills.

*TIIIIIIING!* Like what I predicted, Elou used Spell Caster and Jay used Defender. Jay really needs to pay attention to what he does and not what he thinks.

"We have the first blood! Elou won the match!" Aika announced.

"It looks like this Ethan guy has his own strategy. I can tell that he plays really well and he has good keen eyes." Got that right, Mr. President.

Jay went back to us and I can't tell if he's sad or angry because of his he didn't say a word. It seems like he's in the emptiness mode again.

"The next match would be Arvin, he just built a new company and it is currently doing well but we also heard some controversies of how did he manage to do this in such a short time, against Ethan Louis! It looks like they want to continue Ethan's luck! Let the next match begin!" Aika excitedly said. Though, it's not about luck.

/Arvin VS Ethan Louis/

*TIIIIIING!* Ethan used Archer and Arvin used Spell Caster...

"Ethan hit his foe again! What a powerful guy!" Aika's getting excited. Spell Caster is tricky to use because you have to open your hand which is easy to counter. Elou. who's expert on checking the foe's presence and its plans, is really wrecking us.

"What lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Let's see if you can win again." Arvin's kind of p.i.s.sed but I'm thinking he'll be using some tricks again. I hope we don't get disqualified, though.

"Sure, hit me with your best shot," Elou's confident. I don't know why but I heard this guy is a pervert but for me, he's quite awesome.

*TIIIIIIIING!* Ethan used Defender and... Arvin used Spell Caster. Oh, G.o.d...

"Ethan was. .h.i.t?! Wait... what?" I heard some whispers near Aika and it seems I know where this is going.

"It looks like Arvin intentionally chose his next move by delaying it to win. For this, Arvin will be hit by his own attack and will be killed!" Aika said. Oh, c.r.a.p... good job Jay for choosing Arvin.

"What?! How did you know I delayed my move? Do you have proof?!" Arvin... you really should stop.

"Yow yow yow! This hall has lots of CCTV and we can show you a quick replay of what you did in slow motion." Petula enters the stage and explained.

She showed us, well, to them, how Arvin cheated on purpose and it's so obvious that we lost two players not even hitting Elou yet. We're so done. He went back to us, like Jay, without saying a word.

"The Other Side guild is really not in a good place. They lost two players without hitting back. Elou's still looking good after two fights too." Aika, please don't discourage us.

"Elou's eyes are good. I bet we are all in slow motion in his eyes." Mr. President joked. I think it's more likely true than a joke.

"Ok, for the third round. I hope they can really stop Elou's mad skills or this is the worst matchup ever. Our next contender against Elou would be Briam, he may not look like it but he's still in high school and we heard that he's really smart in his studies. He's currently the best student of his school and planning to become an engineer someday. Get ready, Fight!" Aika explained. They said he's tall for his height too.

/Briam VS Ethan Louis/

"I've read a lot of information about this game and unbeatable in my school. I do think I will win against someone like you." Briam said. Not entirely true but please win.

"Sure sure, you guys really love to talk a lot," Elou said. I guess he's really serious.

*TIIIIIING!* Elou used Spell Caster while Briam used Defender! I thought you're smart.

"Lah! But... I calculated your move." Elou caught Briam by surprise. Of course, it's not about calculations! Elou's cheating but his reflexes are so fast that there's an only slight delay that can't really be noticed easily.

"It's not about being smart you know. It's about guts man!" Elou's getting with the flow and enjoying it...

"Elou's. .h.i.tting them without them making a comeback! This is so painful to watch! Can he really beat all of them by himself? Get ready, Fight!" Aika's excitement astonishes me...

I even heard Jay footsteps walking away from us... He doesn't even have slight hope left that we could win.

"I will now use my ultimate reading gla.s.ses to make me smarter! Lah!" Briam wears his gla.s.ses to concentrate with his best like it's going to help him at all.

*TIIIIIIING!* I don't have to say the result... once again. Elou won...

"Impossible! He must be cheating or something!" Briam frustratedly said. You're right but there's not enough proof to show that he really cheated...

Another one bit the dust... can I really beat him? What I need to do is be faster against him or antic.i.p.ate his move. Though... I'm not sure if I'm capable of doing that. I may have good senses but I'm still blind.

"What a show-off! He really is unbeatable in the game of "Roc... Defender, Archer, Spell Caster!". Will Chara, the adopted sister of Petula, can win against the undefeated and flawless Blonde Robin Hood of New Life Online?!" I went up to the stage to get ready.

Can I really win? I'll do my best so I can hear the cheer and laugh of my teammates again.
