New Life Online 202 Defender, Archer, Spellcaster Finals

/Chara Ebonywood VS Zia Dawn/

Let's try again. You have weakness somehow. I still haven't lost to anyone yet when it comes to Rock Paper and Scissors. This is for the guild.

"Ok, guys! Get ready for another round!" Aika announced. I really need to concentrate.

The countdown started and as usual, we are using Defender at the same time. If you won't change your move then I'll change mine at the last moment.

*TIIIIIIIING!* Both of them used Spell Caster! This is the second time in a row! Is this just a coincidence or are they really using some kind of technique?!" Aika asked.

No... I can't tell if she's really looking at my hands but she's definitely copying what I do at the exact moment that I do it. How on earth is she doing that?

"Ok! Prepare for another round! Good luck!"

I need to change plan this time. She can't copy my move if I use different moves at the same time. But I can't use it again to someone who already saw my technique.

Once again, we are using Defender as a starting move. I have to use it and see if she can really copy my move! Fruit Salad!

I changed my Defender to Archer and switch it again to Spell Caster to counter her Defender but...

*TIIIIIIIING!*

"What is going on?! Another tie for both of them! They used Defender, Archer, and Spell Caster at the same time! Both of them used Spell Caster! Are they reading each other's minds?" Aika is puzzled.

No, but the evidence shows that she can really copy any move I can do. If we're fighting in-game somehow, then I'm pretty sure I'm dead by now. I have to use a new technique or I won't win at all!

"Ok, guys. I don't know if this is rehea.r.s.ed or something but I hope you both can defeat each other." Aika seems to be getting bored already.

I can't think of any move at all. I shouldn't have used my last resort. Since it has come to this, I will need to trust my luck.

I will use defender again and stay with it. If she can only copy then I'm pretty sure she can't really change her move that fast.

*TIIIIIIIIING!*

"Zia won! Zia used Spell Caster with the Fruit Salad technique again while Chara stuck on using Defender! Both of their hands are so fast! I can't even switch moves like that!" Aika announced.

Darn it. She used my move against me. There's no way I can win against her. I have to admit that her ability is way better than mine but I still have my other senses. I will defeat you somehow.

"Ok, One more hit to Chara and Zia and her guild will win the Prize Money! Get ready guys! Fight!" Aika said.

Both of us used Defender as always while our hands are falling. I changed it to Archer and she also changed it to Archer. Like as I planned.

Bubblegum! I will win for sure! I changed my Archer to Spell Caster but swiftly changed it back to Archer before she can change it at the right time!

*TIIIIIING!*

"What a superb trick move! Chara just used a move that can confuse the opponent! Chara won using Archer while Zia used Spell Caster!" Aika announced.

She can't really copy my move fast enough to really copy it. I took that advantage and retracted my move. Everything and even everyone has their own weakness.

I don't know what is going on but I'm really feeling happy and excited. I will not lose!

"They only have one HP left. With a wrong move, one of them will be the winner! Let's get ready for the last match!"

This last fight will be the tricky one. Should I use the same technique or should I use the other one? If I'm not being careful then I'll lose for sure.

We started with both Defender. I'll carefully check her actions to counter her move. Come on change it... I've waited for a bit but she's not changing it.

Suddenly, I've sensed another hand out of nowhere! It's like she's using two hands at the same time! No, it's only one but... the other one is using Spell Caster and the other one is an Archer!

*TIIIIIIING!* We have a winner, guys! Zia won with a Spell Caster and Chara lost with a Defender!" Aika announced... How...

I kinda know now what happened. She used her other hand to confuse me. She waved it with an Archer fast enough to disturb my concentration. I trusted my senses too much... This girl is really something... I can also use archer because it's a safe choice but it was too late to realize. I lost...

After that match, I decided to go back to our place but...

"Hey Chara, thank you for the match. I really had fun!" It's Zia.

"Thank you, Zia. I hope to have a match with you again." We both smiled. I really had fun better than I expected. Though I admit, her talent is superb. She's smart too. I can say that we're both special.

Zia took the trophy of the compet.i.tion as best on Defender, Archer, and Spell Caster. They will also get the prize money after the party. This kind of party is fun after all.

After that, several entertainers like singers and dancers shared their talents to us. I don't know where my sister got all of these extras but I can say that their talent fees are quite really expensive. You should really slow down with the expenses, Petula.

It lasted for a while and it's almost dawn too. We are all tired and most of us want to sleep already. Some of us are already drunk and needs to go home.

"Aheeeeem, Aheeeeem! I know that most of you guys are all wasted as fudge! Hahaha! But don't worry, we still have the last event which is the highlight of the party! I'm not rich for nothing you know! Our next event is called the King/Queen of the Party! I'm too drunk to explain. So here's Aika..." Petula said... Our butlers helped her down... She really needs to sleep now...

"Ok, Fellas! You might think that the party is already finished but it's not! As Miss Petula said, we have another event called the King/Queen of the Party! This doesn't really the right t.i.tle I guess because we are going to have a deathmatch!" Aika announced. What are you up to now Petula... You're the laziest person I know but you managed to pull something like this...

"The rules are simple. Every one of you will be able to choose one weapon of your choice in the armory room. These weapons are not lethal so don't worry. These weapons are infused with red paints so choose carefully. Also, the weapons are made of the solid metal inside but soft as cotton candy outside so you can still have a swordfight. There will also be bows and arrows for archers and paint bombs for spellcasters. For those who love their dresses, don't worry, the paint will disappear after 5 hours by itself and will not damage it." Aika explained. Where on earth did they get those kinds of things?

"You said that it would be a deathmatch right? Then how are we supposed to know if we killed someone?" Briam asked. He's from my guild.

"That's a good question. The targets for a kill are the head, neck, and heart. If by any chance you managed to land a hit on the other parts of the body, then it's not counted as a kill and they can still fight. So you should prepare your moves carefully. Don't try to even cheat too because we have CCTV all over this place so don't do some nasty things around the corner." Petula caught me dancing alone once and that's really the most embarra.s.sing moment of my life.

"The whole mansion will be the battleground so you can hide and freely do what you want to do but please, don't destroy things, things here are more expensive than my whole year salary. Get ready guys and go to the armory room and choose your weapons. After getting your weapons, you can freely spread through the whole house but be sure to move carefully because you, yourself are your own ally. There will be a two-minute countdown and after that, the game will begin. So get ready guys and get your weapons!" Aika announced... what? It's starting now?!

We rushed towards the armory rooms and thankfully, the place is really wide that I didn't even b.u.mp into anyone like earlier. That Scythus guy is really something.

The countdown started and most of us started running away. A lot of the players of NLO is not really good with real-life fights so I'm really sure this will not take that long. I rushed towards the kitchen and thankfully I haven't sensed anyone following me. I guess I'm not even a threat to them. The countdown is about to end...

"Let the Deathmatch begin!" Mr. Maximus excitedly announced. The deathmatch just started but...

"Five players down already! 5 kills from Leion in just a couple of seconds!" What in the world?! I won't ever leave this place...
