Chapter 6: Shye Crowley vs 16th Seeded Examinee
"Get lost! Don't waste my time!"
Alexander Smith immediately charged at Shye after the match began.
In response, Shye also charged forward because he believed that he could overwhelm this arrogant seeded examinee with his upgraded attributes.
*PAH*
Both competitors were shocked at the result of their clash because none of the two was able to get an advantage.
It seems that their strength attributes were around the same.
"Hoh? Not bad for a no-name like you!"
*PAH* *PAH* *PAH* *PAH* *PAH* *PAH* *PAH* *PAH*
In the blink of an eye, Shye's and Alexander's swords clashed more than 50 times.
"Who's that guy?! How is he able to hold his own for so long against a seeded examinee?!"
"That's Shye Crowley! I saw his earlier battles and except for his first and last one, the rest of his battles were all about him destroying his opponents with a combination of blows!"
"Yeah, I also watched this guy's match earlier, I thought he would be defeated here because he had some trouble in his last fight. Looks like he's only hiding his true strength!"
A commotion started after the crowd saw Shye standing his ground against a seeded examinee.
Due to this, more and more people were attracted to watch Shye's match.
[Congratulations! You've earned 4 points!]
[Congratulations! You've earned 8 points!]
[Congratulations! You've earned 13 points!]
Shye was pleasantly surprised because this was the first time that he earned points in the middle of a match.
He was seriously thinking hard earlier about how he could beat Alexander.
Fortunately, he could earn points in the middle of a fight!
Shye smiled confidently and he started to focus on his match even more.
*PAH* *PAH* *PAH*
"They're still neck and neck! What a great fight!"
[Congratulations! You've earned 6 points!]
[Congratulations! You've earned 10 points!]
[Congratulations! You've earned 14 points!]
It seems that simply being "equal" to this seeded examinee will earn him points.
It was understandable though, because these seeded examinees were trained by high-ranked adventurers ever since they were young so being equal with them as a no-namer gave him some fame.
On the contrary, Alexander Smith was getting annoyed. He couldn't stand all the attention that Shye was getting from the crowd.
All this attention was supposed to be his! This no-name guy was supposed to lose quickly!
Alexander said as he slashed his sword downwards to finish off Shye.
*PAH*
Unfortunately for him, Shye stood up and clashed with him again. However, this time, everyone's eyes widened upon seeing the result of the clash.
Alexander was sent sliding two meters back and even Alexander himself could not process what just happened.
By the time he was able to gather his wits, Shye was already charging towards him.
Veins popped in Alexander Smith's head. He couldn't believe that he fell into a disadvantage against a no-name!
Not only that, this no-name is even charging forward to try and finish him! How audacious!
"You no-name! Know your place!"
Alexander also charged forward to slash Shye. He didn't believe that he was inferior to this no-name at all.
However, reality is cruel. Alexander was sent sliding back even farther this time and Shye didn't give him any room to recover.
Shye stuck to Alexander like glue as he continued attacking him with consecutive slashes and after a while, Alexander finally couldn't hold on to his sword.
His sword was sent flying by Shye and it landed at the edge of the sparring grounds.
However, Shye didn't stop attacking him because there were no rules about disarmed weapons, and continued beating the crap out of Alexander with a wooden sword.
In the end, Alexander fell to the ground, unconscious.
"End of the match! Winner, examinee number 352, Shye Crowley!"
After the examiner announced Shye's victory, the crowd was ecstatic and they erupted in cheers.
"Holy shit! This Shye Crowley guy actually did it! He defeated a seeded examinee!"
"What a major upset!"
"Damn! This guy is insane!"
[Congratulations! You've earned 80 points!]
[Congratulations! You've earned 180 points!]
[Congratulations! You've earned 150 points!]
After his match, he earned a whopping 410 points!
However, just as he was about to open the system, Shye felt a wave of exhaustion course through his body and after a few more seconds, he also fell to the ground unconscious.
"H-Hey! Shye Crowley fell unconscious!"
"The fight must've been tougher than it seemed."
"Yeah, he was about to lose before he miraculously pulled that comeback so his collapse is understandable."
The examiner quickly ordered a staff member to bring Shye to the examination infirmary.
During the third assessment, examinees falling unconscious is a common thing so they were already prepared for this and they already had certain arrangements for this kind of things.
As Shye was being carried towards the infirmary, A middle-aged man rubbed his chin among the crowd.
"Hmm...Shye Crowley is it? Interesting..."
