Chapter 580

“...”

Siegfried was slightly flustered by the crowd.

‘What the hell...? What kind of preliminary round attracts such a crowd?’

He thought that only a handful of people would come and watch the preliminary rounds, but he couldn't be more wrong about it.

‘Ugh...!’

Siegfried scratched the back of his head awkwardly while walking toward the arena.

It was then.

“Honey,” Brunhilde walked up to him and held his arm. Then, she smiled and whispered, “You must win, okay?”

Smooch!

Brunhilde did not forget to plant a kiss on his cheek.

“Eh?”

“Look how sweet she is...”

“Wow... He married a super beautiful Level 299 elf...”

“S-She’s so sweet!”

The spectators were in awe of Brunhilde’s beauty and level while being extremely jealous of Siegfried. FiNd updates on n(o)/velbin(.)com

Their reaction was understandable, as it was very difficult to woo a woman in BNW despite them being just NPCs. The NPCs in BNW acted and thought like humans, so wooing them would be like wooing a human being.

In other words, the Adventurers had to invest their time and effort just like they would in real life to seduce NPCs.

What did that mean?

Those single since birth in real life were bound to be single in BNW, too!

It sounded cruel, but it was impossible for an Adventurer to have a relationship with a beautiful NPC just because they were merely playing a game. The only way they could be in a relationship with someone as beautiful as Brunhilde despite having zero dating experience was for them to become on par with Siegfried.

Thus, the Adventurers were bound to be extremely envious of Siegfried.

‘Hohoho! Look at me! My wife loves me so much!’ Siegfried thought, knowing the Adventurers were extremely envious of him. Men were bound to be envious of someone who was in a relationship with a beautiful woman, and Siegfried was enjoying every single bit of their envy.

However, that was not the end of their envy...

“Win! Papa! I love you!”

Smooch!

“Okay, Papa will win for you!”

Verdandi gave Siegfried a kiss.

“C-Cute!”

“He married an NPC, and he even has such a cute daughter...?”

“What?! She’s so cute! I’ve never seen such a cute NPC before!”

“Argh! Cuteness overload!”

“I wonder how beautiful she will be once she grows up...? I mean, her mother is a beauty, right?”

“And his daughter is so cute? I’m so jealous!”

The Adventurers became envious that Siegfried had such a cute daughter.

‘Ahem!’ Siegfried tried to act calm, but he could not help feeling elated after noticing that people were finding Verdandi to be extremely adorable.

However, he was not a fool...

“Dame Oscar,” Siegfried whispered.

“Yes, Your Majesty?” Oscar replied.

“Drag those looking with sleazy eyes out of the arena and punish them.”

“Pardon me, sire?”

“Look over there,” Siegfried said, pointing at the crowd.

“Ah... Brunhilde... Your boobs...”

“So cute... Her skin looks so smooth... Snort! Snort!”

After witnessing Brunhilde’s beauty and Verdandi’s cuteness, some Adventurers lost their minds. Their reaction was normal, as most of the Adventurers had the same reaction as them, but the problem was the difference in their reactions.

Some of the Adventurers were expressing their admiration for the mother and daughter’s beauty and cuteness in a disgusting manner, openly showing their evil desires.

“...!”

Only three seconds had passed since the duel began, but everyone’s eyes were already wide open from shock.

***

Not everyone who had come to watch the preliminary rounds was fond of Siegfried, and the majority of those who weren't fond of Siegfried were Adventurers contracted to a pro gaming team but had yet to become an official professional gamer.

In other words, they were what people would call semi-pros.

Aside from them, there were Adventurers waiting to debut as pro gamers and were something like a trainee affiliated with some pro gaming teams.

What did this mean? It meant that most pro gaming teams had told their amateur members to participate in the Super Rookie Tournament.

Thus, the Super Rookie Tournament was the perfect place for people to gather data on their future competitors, and participants who were the favorites to win the tournament, such as Siegfried, were closely observed by them too.

The difference between having data on how their trainees performed against candidates like Siegfried would prove invaluable in nurturing them in the future.

Thus, the coaches and coaching staff of each pro gaming team paid close attention to Siegfried’s match.

But...

[3... 2... 1...!]

[Fight!]

The duel started.

Boom!

Siegfried closed the distance to Nasoguri in the blink of an eye.

Fwaaaah!

Flames shot up from the ground and engulfed the entire arena.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Siegfried swung his +13 Vanquisher’s Grasp at Nasoguri’s head exactly five times and—

[Nasoguri]

[HP: ??????????]

[Mana: ??????????]

[Stamina: ??????????]

Nasoguri lost fifty percent of his HP.

Siegfried’s basic attacks boasted an Attack Power on par with most people’s skills, but his Attack Power was not the only problem.

Whing! Whing! Whing!

Stars circled above Nasoguri’s head.

Siegfried’s absurd Attack Power and his blunt weapon had left his opponent stunned.

A fraction of a second was extremely important in duels between PVP experts, but the stun Nasoguri was inflicted with had a whopping three-second duration.

In other words, he lost the duel the moment he was stunned.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Siegfried used Machine Gun Smash and smashed Nasoguri’s head open.

Thud...!

Nasoguri's HP fell to zero, and he fell lifelessly to the arena floor.

Shockingly, the duel lasted only for three seconds. In other words, three seconds were all Siegfried needed to close the distance, place down Blaze Field, stun his opponent, and smash his opponent's head open with Machine Gun Smash.

Speed was of the essence!

Siegfried was so wary of Nasoguri’s tricks that he decided to go all in from the start and end the duel.

“Thank you for the match,” Siegfried said with a bow before stepping down from the arena.

“...”

The scouts and coaches from the pro gaming teams could not believe their eyes. They could not gather a shred of data from the match and were forced to sit, blinking their eyes stupidly.

The only thing they got from the match was that Siegfried was extremely fast.

Of course, Siegfried didn't really care about what they thought of him.

“Alright, let’s go for the next round,” Siegfried said with a smirk, seemingly riled up.

He went to the next arena, where his next opponent was waiting for him. It went without saying that the crowd moved along with him to the next arena.
