"Without further ado, let's start the first match. It will be vs a lucky spectator."
Max announced and stood in the middle of the arena. Above his head, a number 1 and an HP bar were displayed, showing that he was the first player.
A hero's selection appeared before him. There were a total of 20, with 10 unique sets of skills. He wasn't in a hurry to choose. Instead, he opened a randomized na, which had the data of all players here and pressed randomly.
Four-way screens appeared in the air for everyone to see. On it, a na was rolling pretty fast for even people to see. After a while, it stopped and showed a person's na.
"2good4. You're up against , buddy."
"Alright!" Soone stood up on the spectator seat and shouted excitedly. His body was covered in a blue light and transported to the arena, a number 2 and a similar HP bar were floating above his head. "I will beat you, Breeze! For the sake of money!"
"No, I won't pay you or anything, you know? Only BloodSucker."
"It doesn't matter! I can only win and drag BloodSucker here! Woohoo, free $50!" 2good4 raised his arms above his head and scread.
Max looked at him. His lips twitched.
'What the heck is this guy's logic? The participant is randomized, although I give them all a 2% chance while BloodSucker 10% chance to appear. Still, is he really confident to beat ? Even if I don't know the Heroes before, I can still read their skills.'
Composing himself, Max said, "Alright, let's choose the heroes. The match is 3 minutes long, best of one only."
"Stop yapping like Jamal and co at , Breeze!" 2good4 taunted him by waving his fingers.
A vein popped on Max's temple. 'Alright, that's it.'
This guy was a different kind of annoying person compared to Jamal and the other NPC. He was just too cocky.
Max chose a certain hero with a similar body build as his. This hero wore long dark blue pants and a white shirt underneath a jacket.
Based on the description, this hero's na was 'Speedy'. His ability was to move faster, and he had so skills to use. A few icons that showed the skills appeared on his edge of vision, and he could see its description and how to activate it just by thinking about it.
'A kick, a powered kick, a super-powered kick… Alright, just as I researched before.' Max nodded, satisfied with the very simple skills.
anwhile, his enemy chose a lanky guy wearing green pants. He was shirtless, showing off his muscles and long arms. This man was a villain called 'Sneaky Snake' whose ability was his long arms.
Just as its appearance suggested, its main power lay on these hands that moved like a whip.
A tir appeared, counting down from 5. Max lowered his stance and was prepared to use his ability to get close to his enemy in one go. This would be hard to adjust, but he believed the ga's chanic would help him with that.
"Hyahaa! I will whip you so you know your place!"
2good4, however, taunted him and moved his hands strangely. It was disgusting and Max wanted to jump out of this arena after looking at it.
"Eww…"
— His hands move like soone who is in that kind of industry. Yikes
— No way a human is doing sothing like this, right?
— Breeze, kick him in the face… Or the crotch!
"That's what I plan on doing."
3… 2… 1.
[Go!]
The ga announcer exclaid.
The match started and Max imdiately lunged forward. His speed was way faster than he had expected, and his vision turned blurry. However, he stopped at the place where he wanted to be and sent an upward kick.
"Kick!" He activated the skill, making his kick faster.
A blue blur went toward 2good4's head, catching him by surprise. It connected and sent him flying upward. His opponent's HP bar decreased.
Using this chance, Max pivoted using his hand and sent a roundhouse kick.
"Powered Kick!"
The skill Speedy used was a combo one. Everything was connected. His leg hit 2good4's ribs and changed his flying direction toward the wall. When he was flying, Max used his ability again to catch him up. Right now, 2good4's HP bar was less than half. He couldn't even do anything yet.
"Aaah, curse you!"
His running speed was faster than 2good4's flying speed. He reached the wall first before his opponent crashed, creating a crack in the wall. Raising his right leg, he activated his last skill.
"Super Powered Kick."
Max's leg glowed brightly. A blue fla went ablaze as he drove his leg toward 2good4's head from the back. It pushed the head into the wall through the crack. The HP bar displayed above his head was fully depleted, and the ga's announcer ended the match.
[PERFECT!]
[Winner, SPEEDY!]
— Good stuff!
— So this guy is as weak as I thought. Tsk, talk big no skill
— Showing off! Breeze is a humble strear. You should humble yourself more to be as strong as him!
— No one likes a disgusting boy. Too bad
2good4's body disappeared into motes of light. The damage done to the arena was fixed as if ti rewound.
Standing alone in the arena. Max raised his arms and waved at his audience. His body returned to normal.
He grinned and looked around.
"Alright, who's the next unlucky one?!"
" !
"Tsk, why did that trash get picked up? He can only talk and not fight!"
"Dude, Breeze is faster than he expected in Speedy's form. I had never seen Speedy that fast before. It must be because of his high SR. 2good4 must be overwheld by that. The skill also stunned him for a second, so he could do nothing at all!"
"Excuses! Let show you how to counter Speedy. Pick !"
Everyone wanted to be picked.
"Calm down. It will be randomized." Max said, dismissing the crowd's excitent. "Well then, let's start the second randomization!"
The randomization on the screen turned once again. Many nas passed through. At one point it beca slower, showing a clear na, only for it to spin faster than before. After 3 seconds, it showed a fairly familiar na.
"BloodSucker."
As that na appeared, the crowd cheered loudly.
"SUCKER! SUCKER! SUCKER!"
"Wohoo! THE LEGEND HAS BEEN CHOSEN!"
"Go Sucker go! Go Sucker go!"
— Whoa, Sucker got chosen?
— This battle will be legendary!
— Try to last for a minute, Sucker!
BloodSucker appeared in the arena, right across from Max, with a wide grin on his face.
"Huahaha! This ti has co. Now, I will take that $100 from you, Breeze!"
"Hoho! Try it, Sucker!
Both of them transford into their chosen characters and faced each other.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
[Go!]
And thus, the legendary battle had begun.
No one moved yet. BloodSucker deliberately stood still to wait for Max to make his first movent.
With a little observation, Max recognized the character used by BloodSucker was a Hero called Vlad III. He had long white hair and red eyes. His body was covered in what looked like old noble clothes and a black coat draped over his shoulders.
His hands were lanky, holding a luxurious cane. A true Vampire through and through, fitting BloodSucker's image. And this character was troubleso.
