Chapter 81 - Battle Royale (9)
Sam had no problems with the next few matches. He defeated each of his opponents one by one, without using his full power.
Every day, he improves himself by working hard. Despite not having the opportunity to fight any monsters, he is still able to improve himself.
Sam was unaware that every time he defeated his opponent, he drew the attention of many people. Every day, someone will contact his principal to inform him of their invitation.
Fortunately, the Principal of Base City School chose not to contact them until the end of the Battle Royale. Because, as he predicted, Sam will receive more favorable offers, as well as attention from many powerful associations.
The Principal had previously placed his hopes in Simon, but this time he placed his hopes in Sam. Sam is more powerful than Simon, so he has a better chance of attending those top Academies.
Until now, almost all of the Base City School students have been eliminated from the Battle Royale. Only five of them will be able to advance to the next match.
It has already been 25 days, and the quarterfinals will conclude next week. People from each group will be selected for the quarterfinals.
This is another reason why the principal did not want to bother Sam and Simon.
Sam is completely unaware of this. Aside from when he has to fight his opponent, he will devote all of his time to training. You have to say that the resources he obtained from the danger zone were beneficial to him.
Using them, he has improved himself and grown in power. He also focused on his techniques because he wanted to improve them.
Using 500 fate points, he purchases 5 potions known as training potions. These potions have magical effects. When you consume them, you will feel as if you have unlimited energy. You will feel that for 2 hours.
Every technique you train will improve quickly. However, you will experience pain throughout your body. You must tolerate the pain. The longer you train, the greater the benefits.
That potion has the side effect of leaving you completely exhausted. Not only will you be exhausted physically, but also mentally and spiritually.
Fortunately, every time he uses the training potion, he enters a focused state. Aside from training, he did not think about anything else. With enough rest, he can also recover from his fatigue.
'Even a low-level training potion helped me improve so much. I am curious what will happen if I consume a medium-grade training potion.
But right now, I do not have access to that potion. It appears that every technique and item in the system shop is based on my current power level.'
Sam predicted this after observing the system shop for several days. He is not disappointed after realising this because he is confident that once he becomes powerful, he will gain access to additional resources that will assist him in becoming powerful.
'I do not believe I will face a difficult opponent in my next match. Even though everyone in group A is also improving, I did not feel threatened by them.
I do not believe I became overconfident or anything like that. Still, I can not let my guard down. I need to work hard on my training. David definitely became stronger than before, and just like in the story, he would reach the peak Mortal Grade. I have the same intention.'
Despite having access to the system shop and the limit breaker blessing, he needed time to reach David's level or become more powerful than him.
At the very least, he is confident that he can become far more powerful than David.
Aside from David, there are Lily, James, and others. They are also part of the main group, and they will eventually become David's teammates.
Sam wanted to know how much they had improved. Because if everything goes as planned, he will face them in the quarterfinals.
***********
2 days later,
Sam finally entered the battle ring, and in front of him was a girl dressed in dark green armor. She is holding a spear.
Both of them are awaiting the referee's signal to begin the fight. Fortunately, they did not have to wait long, as the referee gave them the signal.
They both immediately vanish from their respective locations. Both of them are closed combat Warriors, so they naturally wanted to attack each other in close combat.
His opponent keeps attacking him with her spear. She was extremely fast and used her movement technique to attack him from one direction to another.
It appears that her observation technique is also effective, as she is constantly attempting to counterattack Sam.
"Clang!!!"
Once again, they collided. A strong impact was created, but neither of them stopped there. They continue to attack one another.
As expected, Sam's opponent is attempting to defeat him as quickly as possible. She went all out from the start and did not want him to have time to use his other techniques.
Unfortunately, Sam did not feel as much pressure. Furthermore, he is not using the shadow movement technique. He also did not apply the shadow bind technique.
He relies solely on his movement and fast Slash technique. Even though people can devise counterattack strategies, he is not at a disadvantage for the time being.
After a while, people watching the match can feel his advantage. They understand when Sam begins to use more power.
He abruptly disappears from his position, and before his opponent can react, he appears behind her. When she was struck by his sword, she had no chance to counterattack or flee the scene.
She immediately felt a severe pain in her back. But before she can turn around, Sam continues to attack her.
"Boom!!!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
She let out a painful cry. Blood started flowing from her mouth. More importantly, she was unable to defend herself and was immediately sent outside the battle ring.
Many people watching the match were not surprised by the outcome. It appears that they have already predicted who will win.
