Chapter 111 - Most Supporting Teammate
"Good job Angy," He said with a slight smile.
Angy happened to be one of the participants representing Black rock schools.
Not only did she participate she was also one of the participants that supported the most during this duel.
Her speed outstripped that of every other participant and her combat power was not lacking either.
Although it still fell far short of Gustav’s prowess it was nothing to scoff at.
Especially in this battle where everyone was slower than she was.
Gustav also noticed that her speed had increased since the last time they raced.
She was able to use a new ability with her bloodline that was also related to speed.
Gustav figured that it was similar to him using sprint however there was a difference.
Angy’s speed was multiplied by four times when she making use of this ability and although she couldn’t maintain it for long before running out of energy, being able to use it for ten seconds was more than enough to cause havoc on the battleground because it was more than two times of Gustav’s speed when he activated sprint.
Angy used her speed to take out two participants from the opposing side.
She was seen as the most valued player since the rest of her teammates were able to focus on the strongest participant due to her help.
This led to their win since the battle power of the strongest participant on the opposing side was more powerful than their strongest participant.
The first round came to an end and the schools that won were announced.
Echelon Academy, Atrihea city high school, Salvation Academy, Black rock schools, Brair Bullet High, and Reflection Academy.
Now that the other schools had been disqualified, the next round was only going to involve the participants from these six schools.
The principal of Atrihea city high had announced the commencement of the second round after all the participants who lost earlier left the training ground.
"Echelon Academy Vs Briar Bullet high! Participants should move to Ring-A!"
"Atrihea city high Vs Salvation Academy! Participants should move to Ring-C"
"Reflection Academy Vs Black rock schools! Participants should move to Ring-E!"
Principal Durk announced in successions and left the rest to the referees.
The participants were back inside the ring facing different opponents this time.
In the second round, another rule was implemented.
Every school now had three substitution slots which they could use in exchanging a player so even if a participant was disqualified, it was possible to send in another participant from the same school to fill in the slot.
This could only be done three times and every school had the opportunity to do it so unless a school defeated another school very quickly to the point where no substitutes were able to be called on, they would still have to battle at least ten participants from that school to win.
After a brief moment of speaking, the go-ahead was given for the second round to begin.
The participants lunged towards one another again with battle intent.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chaotic sounds collision rang out again as they clashed with one another.
The students in the spectators were cheering for their favorites once again while watching the duel with a tense look.
"Gustav, which school do you think has the highest chance of winning?" A mature feminine voice questioned from Gustav’s left side.
Gustav turned to the side to stare at her for a few seconds with a look of contemplation before turning back to stare at the battle rings.
The other two females on Gustav’s right also had expressions that shown they were also interested in listening to Gustav’s reply.
"Among all the schools, Echelon Academy and Atrihea city high school, have the highest combat power... Also, their battle formation and the way they battle with such teamwork is better than the rest of the teams so I can say with almost a hundred percent certainty that the final round will be between both teams," Gustav explained with a solemn look.
The girls who were sitting beside him were, Elle, Arianna, and Lim.
Elle was seated on his left side while Lim and Arianna were seated on his right.
"Does that mean our Blackrock school doesn’t stand a chance of winning?" Elle asked with a look of dissatisfaction.
Gustav stared at the battlefield again with a contemplative look before replying, "I don’t think so... At most your school will take third place,"
Gustav had studied the initial battle of all the schools so he could tell that Blackrock schools participants were lacking in prowess compared to the rest of the schools that also won.
The only reason why he felt Black Rock might have a chance to get to the final round was because of Angy. Having Angy on their team was a huge plus for them.
Even if by any chance she happened to not be powerful enough to defeat the opponent placed before her she still had enough speed to disrupt the flow of attack on the battlefield and cause distractions.
These feats were enough to score victories for Blackrock schools if they could manage the way she was used properly on the battlefield
The only issue was, that tactic couldn’t work forever.
As they kept using it, other participants would analyze and find a way to counter it unless they were idiots.
Just as Gustav was analyzing this, it was already happening on the battlefield.
Angy just happened to receive a hit from one of their opponents and ended up almost being sent out of the ring.
Although she wasn’t using her highest speed when the attack hit, the speed she was using was still higher than that of everyone’s so she shouldn’t have been hit.
The reason for this was, they were starting to predict her movement patterns after she managed to successfully land hits on two of their teammates and sent them out of the ring.
Another thing Gustav had noticed was Angy was not decisive enough when she wanted to hit an opponent. When it came to hitting people she would hesitate which usually affected her movement for a moment.
