Chapter 80 - Battle Royale (8)
His opponent did not expect him to destroy that fireball in that manner. More importantly, he began to panic when he realised Sam was more powerful than him.
He is unable to make a decision at that time, which is his biggest mistake. He should have remained calm. This is another characteristic that every Warrior should possess.
However, in this situation, Sam's opponent was unable to remain calm. Sam is obviously not going to waste that time. He used the movement technique to appear close to his opponent again and attack him.
"Clang!!!!!"
"Ahhh!!!!"
This time, his opponent was unable to defend himself. He was sent outside the battle ring. More importantly, his opponent's armor had been destroyed. Sam's opponent let out an agonizing scream.
"Sushh!!!!"
He fell to the ground. His whole body is in pain. He is doing his best to get up from the ground. Unfortunately, despite his efforts, he is unable to do so and ultimately loses consciousness.
The medical team approached the person immediately and began using the healing ray technique. Their hands begin to glow green.
The referee, on the other hand, appeared within the battle ring. Along with him, another medical warrior appeared in the battle ring.
That person began to examine Sam's condition. As expected, Sam did not sustain any injuries. The referee finally announced him as the winner.
"Clap!!!"
"Clap!!!!"
Immediately, everyone from Base City School and Base City begins to clap and cheer for Sam. He is representing Base City and the Base City School.
Naturally, those people are overjoyed and even try to prove that Sam is from their city or school. Some other people are starting to applaud him.
Sam is taken aback after receiving so much applause. He did not expect many people to support or cheer him on. It somehow fired him up.
Sam stepped outside the battle ring and began to walk toward the waiting room. His opponent has already been sent to the medical room.
*************
"As expected, he did not take his opponent seriously right away. He is trying to exhaust his opponent before striking back.
There is a good strategy, and it also demonstrates that he has more spiritual energy reserves than his opponent."
"There is a chance he has also reached peak Mortal Grade warrior status. Unfortunately, he did not fully utilize his abilities during the fight. I am hoping that during the next fight, we will learn about his full power.
This also makes me wonder what kind of blessing he received."
"I need to contact the President to update the invitation. Under any circumstance, I must invite him to join our organization. Even though we have no idea of his blessing, I am confident that he will be a force in the future."
Sam had no idea that so many people were already interested in him. They even attempted to update the invitation that they intended to send him.
The more he performs and demonstrates his power, the more attention he will receive from those people.
But not all the attention is positive. Some people with bad intentions also noticed him and expressed their interest.
"Hmm, he seems quite interesting. It appears that we will have to pay him a visit to find out what his secret is. This may be related to his blessing. If he joins us, we will have another capable soldier."
Sam had no idea that trouble was approaching. But even if he finds out about it, he will not care.
For the time being, he did not need to be concerned about any of those individuals. The Warriors Association is protecting him, so no one can harm him.
"Congratulations."
One by one, people in the waiting room begin to congratulate him. Sam smiled and expressed gratitude to them. Not long after, the commentators summoned the next group of students.
'If I am not mistaken, tomorrow, I will get to see James's full power. Aside from him, I am interested in David, Alexa, Fiona, Lisa, Lily, and Mike.
All of them are the main characters in the story. Even though I am not sure how much I have affected them. I hope they can still join the Golden Dawn Academy.
Also, it appears that my battle has influenced the story, as I have already received 300 Fate points. Well, I can use these as experience points to improve my techniques.'
Sam is deciding what to do with his Fate points.
***************
Around 9:00 p.m., the commentator announced the end of the Battle Royale for the day. All of the students from Group A have completed their matches.
It is a good thing that all of the students are separated into eight groups. Also, with the additional battle rings, many people can fight at the same time.
Tomorrow, students from group B will fight.
Sam and the other students in the waiting room begin to leave one by one.
'Why the hell am I feeling so uncomfortable? I am not sure what is going on, but it appears that I need to exercise caution.
Fortunately, during the Battle Royale, no one attempted anything. But if I went inside the danger zone, the situation would change.
For the time being, I think I should stay in Venus City. I have the feeling I will be in danger.'
Despite being unaware that some people with bad intentions have been watching him, Sam begins to feel uneasy. It is as if his instincts are telling him to be extremely cautious. For the time being, Sam has decided not to leave Venus City.
He has a gut feeling that if he enters the danger zone, something will happen.
'Looks like I need a technique to make myself invisible, or should I say conceal myself. This way, I can at least try to hide from my enemies.'
Sam decided to check out the system shop after returning to his room. If he has a technique that can conceal him, he will at least attempt to flee from his enemies.
Sam is busy thinking when he notices two people approaching him. Before Sam can react, one of them slaps him back.
"That was a fantastic match. Hahaha… Even I am fired up. I wanted to engage in a sparring match."
Sam has returned to his senses. But he did not have to turn around because he already knew who it was.
As expected, Alexa and Fiona are present behind him. Alexa is also the one who suggested he spar.
"Sigh, you really should try meditation. I really do not know how you have so much energy. You should be busy with your training rather than waiting for a sparring match."
Alexa and Fiona both smile when they hear that question. Sam just sighs after seeing her smile.
Without it, three of them start walking toward the cafeteria. Sam was very hungry after the match and did not get to eat anything.
Alexa and Fiona had no issues with that. Both are currently sharing information about their opponents.
It appears that both of them, or rather their families, have already investigated all of the details about their next opponents.
Sam is not surprised to hear those details, but he is surprised that they both have such detailed information.
'Hmm, as expected, people from warrior families have an advantage in everything. If I meet someone from a warrior family, I have to be very cautious.
If possible, I need to defeat that person as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the more disadvantage I will face.'
After a while,
Sam had already entered his room. He did not need to train or anything today. After freshening up, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
He was exhausted and needed some time to recover his mental energy.
He was unaware that his principal was currently handling a large number of invitations. Sam and Simon were both successful in attracting the attention of various organisations and associations.
So they are extending an invitation to them. They decided to contact the principal rather than directly disturb Simon or Sam.
This did not irritate or otherwise bother the Principal. Instead, he is happy. Well, he will benefit from this, so why would he not be happy? Additionally, this will benefit Base City School.
As a result, he is dealing with those people individually and with great patience. However, he would receive benefits if Sam and Simon accepted the offers.
The principal has decided to contact Sam and Simon tomorrow. Fortunately, neither of them had any matches tomorrow, so they could think about it.
'If both of them get the opportunity to attend those top Academies, it will be beneficial to Base City School. The resources we receive from the education board will double, and our reputation will improve.
Hahahaha… I did not expect to have such a talented student as Sam. Fortunately, I did not require him and the other students to take the entrance examination individually.'
