It was time for the individual battle to begin.
Out of the 100 groups in the round, i was chosen in the 86th group and my number was 3.
So... i was fairly below average.
In a team full of below aversge people.
Well... if i had to say, that douche looking guy is probably the strongest of the lot.
But... ofcourse, he was no match for a man like me who swung his sword a million times a day.
I'm still doing the same.
I've mastered my reflexes followed by the fact that i Don't hesitate anymore, neither do i overthink... winning against that guy would be easy!
and my first battle was decided.
I was to fight against that very douche looking guy.
he looked at me for a bit and than chuckled as if realising my identity.
"Aah, if it isn't the young master?"
He said sarcastically.
"... Or rather the worthless young master."
"..."
I just kept quite waiting for the monitor to begin the game
3...2...1 BEGIN!
It sounded a buzer as it showed the texts
He charged at me, instantly with his daggers.
"What? Cat got your tongue?"
He asked as he smirked and got close to me.
"Take this Bitch!!"
He said as he slashed horizontally at me, after evading the attack quite easily he regained momentum and tried to go fir my blindspot.
But, i just stopped it with the sword and kicked him, causing him to fall back.
Realising it was my opportunity, I used my agility to my advantage and leapt at him.
It was 10 times faster than his previous leap.
I slashed at him, but he blocked it and tried counter attacking by slashing horizontally again.
This time i crouched and tried to kick him to make him lose momentum but he jumped up and fell back instead.
"Hmm... You are good!"
I stated with a broad smile.
"You bastard... What are you?"
He asked me, somewhat puzzled.
He was panting repeatedly.
He seemed out of breath already!
What a shame.
I leaped forward again and slashed at him, which he blocked with his sword
I gripped the sword and applied force on his sword.
This led to him completely focusing on the sword.
He started overpowering me...
"Heh! Is that all you got?"
He asked as he grew complacent.
I slacked him in the lower abdomin.
"Fell for it!"
I stated as i winked at him, who was down and grabbed his belly with an expression filled with pain.
I didn't wait for him to get up as i banged him in the face again and he fell to the other side of the room.
He hit the wall and fell unconcious.
Ending probably my toughest battle in this round.
...
Match 2 ended with my victory aswell.
This time, it was an archer who wasn't very experienced and his attacks... well they had a lot to be desired.
Nonetheless, after evading all the attacks, i smacked him in the face causing him to go unconcious.
Ending the 2nd match.
...
The 3rd match was against a swordswomen.
She wasn't very strong...
Her strength was average but her agility was below average.
If she could increase her agility, She'd be a formidable foe.
But... fir now... she wasn't very strong.
I got behind her in a moment and smacked her in the back of her neck.
She fell unconcious.
I gave her tips since she seemed quite desperate.
As i left for my 4th match.
...
The 4th match was also pretty average.
This time again, the opponent was an archer.
He had good aim but he neither had the agility nor did he have the strength.
His accuracy was great but it seemed that was his main focus which probably held him back alot.
I gave him some tips aswell.
He seemed to have gracefully accepted it unlike thebwomen who screamed in fright and left the place.
I reassured her that it wasn't a love letter but she wasn't the listening type.
Well, she semeed to have won her next 2 matches so she probably took my tips seriously since she found what she lacked.
She came out of the ariena and bowed to me.
I simply smiled and looked at the results.
I... with 4 points was 1st and would go to the next round.
I was quite satisfied because i liked overwhelming my opponents.
Maybe it was because of the fact that i stopped overthinking everything, i started seeing attacks way better than i did before.
I realised just how strong i was and i was quite satisfied.
...
after classes ended, everyone came to the class for an after briefings.
The teacher took the names of whoever ended up going to the next round.
The names obviously included all the heroines and Frey aswell.
But...
"Vade Ashborn."
She took my name and everyone was surprised.
So was the teacher as she looked at with a look of surprise.
"Ahm... those are the students who have to show up at 5 in the morning. Since matches will start at 6:30 so keep that in mind and have an early lights out."
"You may leave."
It was 4:30 in the evening as we were told to leave our classes.
I was quite satisfied with my results.
And i was getting ready to leave when...
"Look at you Vade, Grabbing all the attention like that."
"Well... I am from the future so i have more experience than you lot."
I whispered, with a confident smile on my face
maybe because i got too close to her, she got red as a tomato which was seriously cute.
"Aah... sorry, guess i was too close."
I told her, to which she seeingly started answered.
"Aah... mm... It's fine, i was startled is all!"
As long as i didn't make her uncomfortable it should be fine.
...
"Damn... i gave you 100 Million and this is what you buy?"
She saw my Bamaha Y-15 and asked that question.
Well... i didn't want anything flashy but i didn't want anything that was very simple.
I found this bike to be the best.
I also wanted it when i was in my old world so getting it now was truly a dream come true.
I'm seriously living the life with the money she sent me.
In 3 more years, I'll have more than 100 Lakh Million Soli which is equalant to a 100 Lakh Million Dollars.
I Don't even need to invest in anythibg anymore.
My life will be fkin set.
"Well i like it, it's neother too flashy nor too simple."
Especially the complete black one.
I liked the blue one more but well, i didn't want anything that would stand out so i got this one.
"... well whatever."
"Damn... i didn't know that you'd turned into a rich man... Young master, mind bringing me back in as your body guard? Though, the pay should be atleast 5000 Soli..."
She stated as a joke but, i couldn't help but ask
"They don't pay you that much?"
5000 Soli wasn't alot though or am i tripoing here?
"What? They barely pay me 2500 Soli a month."
2500 soli?
She's asking me 2twice her current pay?
If it's 5000 a month... than it's around 60000 Soli a year and around 1 Lakh 80000 for 3.
Which... is about 18% of a million.
"You are hired!"
I told her.
"I'll pay you 6000 If you are willing."
I even told her i'd pay her 6000 a month.
But... she loves the MC so there's no way she'd come back to me would she?
She asked me that as a joke and i answered half jokingly and half seriously.
But... her look of surprise caught me off guard.
"Are you serious?"
She asked me...
"You are more than worth it!"
I replied instantly.
I believed in compensating people for the amoubt of work they have done rather than a limited salary.
"I'll also give you exclusive right to the inventory but ofcourse... you can't use it unless you have my approval!"
"WHAT? SERIOUSLY? WHY?"
She seemed surprised, very surprised even.
"You should thank this sister of mine... if it weren't for her... i wouldn't be earning 100 Lakh Soli in the next 3 years."
"WHATTT? 100 LAKH SOLI?"
Selina asked, panting in shock.
"I told you, I'm from the future... invest in the Valzard's Pharmacy, It'll become a new age sensation and you'll get around 1 Million Soli for every Share which is around a 100 soli."
Why would this happen so suddenly you ask?
It is because they find a cure for the 5 most heinous diseases with the funds they get from the government and after that they start controlling the Entire Pharmacy conglomerate around the world.
The company monoplizes everything and brings it under it's wing.
Making it the most influencial Pharmacy in the world.
All this happens in the span of 5 years and by the 3rd year they cross the 1 Million Mark.
"That sounds ridiculous... Why would anyone wilingly give away that much money becasue of shares..."
She asked me a valid question but...
"That's how the market works! Well than, do wahtever you want... I'll take my leave."
"Ooi Boss, when do i start working for you again?"
Wait she was being serious?
"Well... you can start whenever you want."
"... If that's the case."
She stated and took out her phone.
she messaged something and sent it to someone.
and with a satisfied smile...
she got on my bike.
"Let's go boss, Starting today... I'm yours."
things were going too fast and i was somewhat surprised as i just stared at her in surprise.
after her constant shrugging, i turned the engine on.
"Well, I'll meet you tomorrow."
"Bye, Miss Selina."
"Yaa... I'll see you both tomorrow."
it seemed like selina too was surprised.
But, it didn't bother me, since there was another room in the house and she could use that room.
And, that's how... I'd gained an ally.
