The Adventurer System

"Burn out" was the new game discussed by Gino to those participants gathered in the Adventurer Stadium. Each party had a member that would battle, after the match, if the winner had remaining strength for the second fight, it can fight once more.

Asarki and Hippie were looking at Grim maliciously, as they know this man was way more suitable for this fight.

Adventures went to their designated place since Gino wanted to start the match as soon as possible. Three of them were sitting in the comfortable chair, in front of them, was the transparent glass, clear enough to perfectly the platform, and the adventurers were going to fight.

Swoosh!

Gino was rapidly jumped to the vast platform, calling the two parties would clash. No rules, they can use everything, magic items, multiple weapons, or to be exact, all the things they knew could help them to win the match.

"Our first fight, Goda's party versus Lorith's party." Gino hyped the audience.

Moreover, the two parties were separated from each other, selecting the right party member that would fight for the first match.

Grim was looking at the party leaders, even Asarki, they knew both of them were possessed high physical strength and high magical abilities.

And all of a sudden, he smiled as he was finally now could watch and learn some about the other adventurers' movements.

To begin with, a man with a violet robe, long curly brown hair, an average body, and a half-mask on his face was stepped forward. It was the adventurer who came to Goda's party, his scene name Mulan, level 28 rogue.

On the other side, a woman with silky black hair, tan skin tone, wore revealing clothes just a handkerchief covered her chest, red eyes. Her screen name was Monica, level 28 rogue.

It appeared both party's leaders selected the adventurers who have the same class to see what were the difference between them. To put it simply, they wanted to see who was the better Rogue in this Guild Selection.

For Grim, it was interesting to match to see how the two rogues going to fight. Well, even though, he could see some, yet they could not watch their full potential. Aside from that, Asarki belonged to the rogue class before, but when she figured out she was not suitable for it, she changed into Cleric class.

Mulan and Monica were stood up in the middle of the vast platform, to recognize each other. However, Mulan has seemed confident as he started to mock this woman for some reason. He planned to mock this woman so she could not focus on this match.

"You're quite sexy, huh, you can let me play your body?" Mulan said with a weak tone, even his mouth hidden by his half mask, still, you could notice a malicious smile on his face.

Monica frowned her brows, already noticing how pervert the man standing in front of her. Nevertheless, she didn't mind her, as she was committed herself to winning this match and was selected by one of the top ten Guilds in this virtual world.

"Of course, you can touch but if just you can reach me." Monica had a broad smile on her face, readying herself as Gino was looking going to start the match.

And all of a sudden, Mulan suddenly chuckled as he thought this woman was also sexually aggressive like him. "Hahaha! I like you." He tugged his mask downwards, at the same time, showed his silver knife at him. He was slowly licking it, to show what he would do once he reached her. "Do you see this knife? This is you, but don't worry you will not feel any pain, you will just tickle."

Monica felt disgusted with it, so Gino stepped aside and confronted the man. "Please, Mulan, we are not implementing any sexual abuse in this event. If you continue this, I will never hesitate to disqualify your party to this match."

By doing this, Mulan started to stop, eventually apologized, and back his half-mask on his face where he could show his malicious smile freely. "I apologize, sir Gino, it will never happen again."

Gino narrowly pushed him, "Okay, get back to your position so I could start the match."

Meanwhile, Mulan followed his orders as he was slowly stepping while his hands were in the air.

"The battle between Mulan and Monic starts now!"

After he spits these words, there was ten-seconds countdown appeared on the screen. In the given time, it was the only time where the adventurers should move. And as soon as the numbers were down to zero, fireworks had different colors scattered in the sky. It was the sign that the first battle in the championship round was officially started.

[Sneak!]

When the time Mulan saw the match start, he regulated one of the rogue skills which was the [Sneak] where he could reach the opponent within the one hundred meters in just blink of an eye.

In an instant, Mulan appeared in front of Monica. And now she was blinking her eyes im surprise because there was something that piqued her attention.

Mulan was holding her chest and she could feel her hands squeezing it. She was looking at it for too long until she stepped back.

"Oops! Sorry, I dropped my knife."

If her intuition was right, Mulan could easily kill this woman by stabbing her vital point which was her heart.

Mulan slowly picked up his silver knife, at the same time, he was showing that he had no intention to do that. He bowed his head at her, also, the audience was watching the fight.

"I sincerely apologize,"

After that, he stepped back to reset the fight between them.

That's fine, Mulan!

It already happened in the fight! There's nothing bad about it!

Those were the words they could hear from the audience. But for Monica, she was certain that was intentional as she was seeing him smiling at her.

She was gritting her teeth but her angry expression easily vanished after hearing someone's voice inside her head. "Calm down, Monica, this is the plan of your opponent. If you lost your temper, you also let him manipulate this man."

It was Lorith's voice, controlling the emotion of her party member.

"I know it, leader Lorith, but this man was trying to sexually abuse me." She explained inside her head.

"Control your emotion, Monica, once you could do that, you can guarantee your win." Lorith encouraged her, then started leaning her back against the pillar.

She took a deep breath, erasing her emotion as it was one of the characteristics that rogue class should have. After that, she darted her eyes at the man who was carelessly standing in front of her, waiting for her to approach.

[Shuriken tol!]

In an instant, a dark aura emitted by Monica's hand as she was concentrating her magical power in a specific position. She then swung horizontally and released her magic skill that was new for the audience.

Mulan crossed his arms, didn't expect this woman could release a mid-range skill. He was astonished and the clothes he was wearing right now were suddenly turned into pieces.

Bang!

It created a sound of the gun after the skills landed on Mulan. Moreover, he was forcefully pushing back as he could not last with the strong magical force.

To would not inflict more damages, he decided to roll to the ground and several times, enduring the pain he received from Monica's skill.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

"T-The fuck? How this woman knows how to cast a mid-range skill." Mulan stuttered as he was slowly regaining his footing.

But the dangerous thing happened at the worst time. To be exact, Monica would not like to give him a chance to use again the [Sneak] skill as he was easily reached her.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Monica used her feet, then angrily stomped Mulan's head. Her emotion was still there, but her mind was aware of the situation.

Blood was dripping on the surface and pouring into the ground. While Mulan crossed his arms to lessen the damages he was receiving right now.

"This is what you like, huh? I will give it to you, pervert!" Monica said, then immediately took her shuriken that on her waist.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Multiple black keen shurikens infiltrated inside Mulan's body, at the same time, the shuriken was slowly getting bigger, it was enough to plaster him on the surface, and could not move his body.

"Argh!" Mulan was groaning in pain, feeling so much blood dripping all over his body.

To end this fight and declare the winner, Monica took her blue knife out of her inventory. She then slowly points it towards Mulan's neck.

"Never underestimate a woman, and never harass us just because that you are a man!" Monica reminded him before fully swinging her knife.

Swish!

More blood splashes to the surface as Mulan's head separated from his body.

She spun around, while the audience was dumbfounded at the aggressive woman.

"One point to the Lorith's party!"
