Chapter 38
"Hmm?" Aia noticed my glare and walks towards me. "Do I know you? Why are you staring at me as if we have some sort of grudge?"
Heh. This bitch still speaks like a bitch...
I guess she was only acting nice and being my girlfriend just because I'm a close friend of Aki.
Tch, this bitch really likes to stick to men and rely on them just because she's beautiful...
"No, you are not the one I'm glaring at," I say.
"Oh...i see." And she just left like that.
Meanwhile, I should grab something to eat. The tournament starts at noon.

"Welcome everyone!!! To the first official tournament held by the capital!!!!"
I can hear the announcement even from here. They prepared a huge arena and I am currently in the waiting room.
The crowd is no joke too. It's like an endless sea of humans. They are using magic to broadcast it to those who are not in the spectating in the arena too.
Good, my fame will drastically increase here, I will get the prize money AND I WILL TAKE MY REVENGE!!
Haha, three birds with one stone this time.
"The first section of the tournament is a team-based round!!"
I see... it's already obvious that this is suspicious from the get-go. They are trying to find a good fighter to join their army...or join the war. That's why this feels like an entrance exam for some sort of fighting academy
They first want to test our teamwork huh...true, teamwork is a must in wars.
"All contestants should have a number behind their plate so please check it out and gather accordingly!! Firstly, pair 16 and pair 84!!! Please come out!!!!"
Pair 16? Shit, that's me...wow I'm first huh. Who's my partner?
As I step into the arena, someone taps on my shoulder.
?
"Karma?"
!!!
It's Reina!!! She's in the western continent as well!?
So she's my partner...
"I didn't realise you were taking part in this tournament too!!" I say.
"Well, I wanted fame so... Did you get the same idea as well?"
For now, I will go with a nod.
Our opponents also step onto the arena.
One of them wields a huge shield and is wearing full armour with a war hammer. A tank. The other is an archer.
Although I can take them down instantly, I do want to see how much Reina has grown.
"Reina, I will distract the tank, you go and kill...no, defeat that archer."
"Understood!" She shouts.
Woah, this girl is hyped. Reminds me of when I first joined BOG.
"Ready!!! Fight!!!" Shouts the announcer.
I dash forward immediately towards the tank and he used a taunting skill towards me. It didn't work since I have a high defence but I pretended to be affected and charged at him more fiercely.
Of course, I wasn't focusing but instead looking at what Reina is doing. She is so focused on her sniper rifle behind, is she charging a skill?
The archer shot several arrows twice as fast as bullets but It was still too slow and my body reacted by itself by deflecting them back towards her.
!!!!!
Oh shit.
The tank immediately stands in front of the archer, ready to take the hit when... Well...
The arrows become three times faster when I deflected it and the destructive power is three times bigger so one pierced through the shield and I achieved a double kill.
(Author: This dumbass forgot to adjust his stats that's why he's still strong as hell)
...
...
SERIOUSLY?!?! WHAT IS THIS? A RIGGED FPS GAME? HOW THE HELL IS A DOUBLE KILL POSSIBLE WITH JUST ONE ARROW?!!!
(Author: And he still doesn't realise he forgot)
"A-Amazing!!!! Looks like pair 16 is a pair of dragons!!!"
"Dragons my ass, Karma did everything." Says Reina, pouting.
Wow, she said "my ass". Was she this vulgar or was she influenced by me? Uhm...i think I should stop cursing in front of her.
--------------
After that, I decided to watch others fight.
I would say that some unique strategies and fighters won using their brain.
And some "overpowered" fighters don't use their brains and just charge head-on. Well, they are not affected by strategies though because they are just too "powerful".
"By the way, Karma, how strong are you now?" Says Reina.
"Hmm, how strong?"
...
...wait...
NO WONDER!!! I FORGOT TO ADJUST MY STATS!!! (Author: He finally realises bruh)
My attack stats are at 400000 now. If I'm not careful, I might wipe out everyone here accidentally.
"Karma?" Reina calls out to me when I'm panicking in my head.
"U-Uh nothing, I have become slightly stronger now, I'm at lvl 110."
"Woah!!? Hehe!! I'm almost catching up!"
"Catching up?" I ask.
"I'm currently lvl 81!!"
"Oh...congratulations!!" I try to congratulate without sounding too insincere.
"What, you jealous?" Asks Reina with a smirk.
I really don't want to tell her that I have the stats of a lvl 509 player even though my lvl is 110.
"A bit I guess." I decided to reply. "Anyway, it should be our turn again next."
And this time I am prepared not to instant K.O. my opponent.
----------
The user has attempted to set all stats to 100000.
Confirm?
----------
Yes.
----------
All stats are temporarily adjusted to 100000.
If the user is in great danger, all adjustments will be removed for the user's safety and the user's strength will be back to normal.
-----------
For that last part, how considerate of you, Saikirei.
"Next up!! Pair 16 and pair 8!! Please step onto the stage!!"
We went onto the arena and suddenly...
-----------
Sensed malicious aura, removed all adjustments.
Users stats are now back to normal.
-----------
What the??...wait no, I sensed it now.
I look at our opponent and instantly realise...
"Reina, those guys are not an NPC, they are players," I say.
"I know...i have a bad feeling about this."
I see... I remember now.
Those two...are player killers.
Shit! I didn't think I would meet them so soon. Looks like they started their hunt at the western capital.
This duo went to capitals and capitals just to find players and kill. And If I'm not wrong, one of them even have a cheat skill:
Berserker glutton.
-------
Berserker glutton.
Increases 100% exp gain and gain 30% of the prey's stats if the user eats their prey.
-------
Well, not exactly as much as a cheat skill as mine but that skill suits cruel players like them.
The system even calls their enemies preys...
------------
Sidequest received.
Kill the wanted player killers.
Rewards:
-Their bounty(30000 gold)
-Their assets
-Fame.
-------------
"Ready!!! Fight!!!"
The guy behind smirked as he charged some sort of dark magic. Dark mists are gathering around him.
"Reina!! Try to cover me, I will take both of them down!"
"Alright-"
!!!!
The one at the front charges towards Reina and appears in front of her immediately.
Teleportation!?!?
From a distance, I slash the air to create a shockwave strong enough to make him defend instead of attacking Reina.
!!
Tch, he is still not scratched. The ground is in bits and pieces because of my shockwave, this proves how powerful these guys are. I have no reason to hold back now.
I close the distance towards him immediately and launch a barrage of attacks, all aiming for his vital points.
This guy managed to deflect all my attacks away but he is getting pushed back.
Finally, I slice down directly from above and he was forced to hold up his sword to block that attack.
I smirked when he does so and immediately kicked his stomach.
!!!!
In that short moment when he is falling onto the ground, I ended this with a decapitation.
His head was sent flying.
...!!
The teammate's eyes widen as he sees the head rolling to him and he panics.
I use that to my advantage and send his head flying too.
