Apocalypse Blessing - Did I Become an Extra?
Chapter 89 - 89 - Opponent Selection
"It is great to see all of you. I hope everyone is preparing for the quarterfinals. Before we begin our main discussion, I would like to emphasize that you should never underestimate your opponent.
I am confident that if you are properly guided, all eight of you will become pillars of humanity.
You should understand that the moment you join the Warrior Academy, you will be on the true path of a warrior. You will understand the constant danger that a warrior faces.
Not only do we have to deal with Monsters, but also with a variety of other supernatural forces. If you do not have enough strength, you will perish.
I hope this does not happen, and that you all continue to prepare for any type of danger.
Now, let us not waste your time because I know you are all eager to learn more about your opponent. I also understand that all of you must prepare yourselves.
Please come to the main stage one by one and take a number. We will assign the opponent based on that number."
The vice president of the examination committee completes his speech. Sam, Alexa, Fiona, Lisa, David, James, Max, and Lily start clapping.
Aside from them, there are numerous other people present inside the auditorium Hall. The auditorium Hall is located within the examination centre.
The commentator began to call out the names of all the participants one by one. After a while, Sam went to the stage and chose a number.
"7"
He picked number seven. If he is not mistaken, he will fight the student who received number 5.
That means he is going to fight Max. Max Carlos is an important character in the story. He is also a member of the protagonist's team. However, when the apocalypse struck in season three, he was the first to die.
Max, like Fiona, made a sacrifice that was crucial to the protagonist's development.
'If it is possible, I really want to save them all. They did not deserve that kind of ending.'
But he did not have that much strength right now.
Max also realised that he was going to fight Sam. Nonetheless, there is no hostility. Instead, he simply nodded at Sam. Sam did the same thing and then exited the stage.
"Your opponent will be quite tricky. He is skilled at illusion. He enjoys trapping his opponent in his illusion and exploiting the opportunity to defeat them with his draggers.
You must exercise extreme caution when dealing with this individual. Resisting illusion required a strong mind, and if possible, you should try to learn mental difference techniques.
If you need any additional information, I am always available to assist you."
"As she mentioned, as your friend, I am also here to help you. So if you need any additional information, you can contact me."
Alexa and Fiona immediately share some Max-related information. They even told him that if he needed any additional information, neither of them would hesitate to assist him.
Hearing that warms Sam's heart. Do not forget, they have only known him for a few days. They are not particularly close to him.
Of course, they can ignore him. But they did not do that; instead, they are prepared to assist him. It is been a long time since someone was willing to help him in this way.
"Do not worry, I do not need any information about him right now. But I am not going to be shy if I truly need more information.
Hahahaha…. If I win the next match and advance to the semi-finals, I will definitely contact you for information about my next opponent.
I hope you did not back down at that point, even though you were my opponent. I want to know everything about you."
Sam began laughing after saying that. Why should he be hesitant to accept such an offer? Instead, he is ready to accept their assistance.
'Well, as much as you both want to help me, I really do not need any information about Max. Because of my extra memory, I have almost all of Max's information.
Even if my involvement has an impact on the story, I doubt there will be that many people, especially given his power level.'
This is another reason Sam believes his memory of this story is another cheat.
Alexa and Fiona also begin to laugh.
"Haha...do not worry if you face Alexa during the semi-finals, I will share all the information I know about her."
"Hmph!!!! I will do the same thing."
************
David will face Lily in the quarterfinal. She is a spellcaster, and David will find it difficult to defeat her. She also advanced to Peak Mortal Grade.
David cannot be careless for a single second. He should definitely try to bridge the gap and attack her right away. Her weakness as a spell caster is close combat.
David has already decided to gather more information about Lily. He would not underestimate her. Lily has the same intention as David.
Aside from the participants, there are several news reporters and scouts from various organizations and associations. Naturally, they have already forwarded that information to those organizations.
"Now this is going to be interesting. Looks like we are about to witness David's true power."
"Yes, you are correct. Lily is not a weak person; she will be a formidable opponent. Against her, he must go all out or risk losing the match."
"There is a chance we will finally learn something about his blessing. Unfortunately, we have very little information about his blessing.
Even the principal of Milton Warrior High School knew very little about David and his blessing. There is a chance he has a blessing, such as power enhancement. Unfortunately, we cannot say for sure."
David's decision to fight Lily piques the interest of many people right away. They have all been paying attention to David since the beginning.
Many of them believed David was going to lose this time. However, they are unable to determine this.
