Chapter 806: Opponent 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Garen activated his shield.

“Let the competition begin!”

Just as the word ‘begin’ fell out, he raised two of his Gaussian gun.

As the muffled gun sound rang out, the Gaussian cannon shot out two black-lines of afterimages. Suddenly, it hit the front of the black Mech’s shield tower. Then after it slid off the shield tower, it was deflected towards the two sides and it immediately bounced off. It was as if it has some invisible power that attracted both the cannons.

‘Let’s not play along with these useless testings. Let’s see it for real,” the opponent’s voice came from within the black Mech across from him. With this backhand, he took out a black and round ball-like thing that was the size of the Mech’s fist.

“Watch out for my tracking grenade!”

Before the voice rang, he quickly moved towards the left to avoid the next cannon. Then, he violently dived towards the front.

Among the whistling, the black-round ball was flying directly towards the top of Garen’s head. After that, it exploded with a bang, and it was turned into black and small round pearls which sprinkled right down to his face.

“Heavy magnetic interference grenade!”

Garen’s heart jumped. Even this weapon could be used by the opponent — this was the mass killing weapon that could only be used three times in Level 2 of Willpower. The strong interference strength would create a huge distorted signal the moment it touches the Mech. In turn, it would then affect the Mech’s internal signal transmission, causing the Mech’s movements to slow down. There was also the possibility that it might even paralyze the Mech.

“You have to dodge it!”

During times like this, he must move. In this range of scattershot, even if he used his shield to block it, the falling bullets would automatically connect to the magnetic field. Then, it would affect the Mech’s energy consumption, which would increase the burden as well.

The Moonfang that was originally used to control the Mech was already tough and unstable. If he added this thing to the Mech, the rate of losing would be much bigger!

For the first time, Garen felt that this competition was out of his control.

“Luckily my Willpower was upgraded yesterday. Hence, the burden on the Moonfang has lessened a lot more. So, it should be able to support a slightly more intense movement,” this idea flashed across his mind.

He took a glance at the countless iron bullets that were falling down and he suddenly slammed into the ground. He quickly rolled out towards the right side to create some distance. Then, with a muffled thump, he fired a Gaussian Gun from his body when he was rolling. The bullet brushed past the black Mech’s shoulder while he wasn’t paying attention, nearly hitting the head’s control center. It scared the opponent so much that it gave him a cold sweat.

“Amazing! However, only such an opponent is worthy for me to kill!” It seemed like Long Yuka was getting even more excited. Once again, he took out a heavy magnetic interference grenade and he tossed it again.

Puff!

A huge amount of grenade overwhelmingly shrouded Garen again.

For a Mech, up to ten meters of coverage area could be avoided with just one movement. But Garen’s Willpower was short. So this time, he could only roll away to avoid the coverage network. As he raised up his hand, it was another two shots again.

The Gaussian Cannon was just the correct size for Mechs. Lifting it up with one hand was also very easy, but the cannon still fell onto the opponent’s shield and it was bounced off again.

“The turtle shell again!” Even though Garen had expected this earlier when he was looking through the details of his opponent, it still felt frustrating when he had encountered it for real.

Among the two Mechs in the competition, one Mech hid and the other one threw grenades; occasional Gaussian gunshot sounds were heard. The competition was at a deadlock for a moment.

The white Mech that Garen controlled rolled on the ground to dodge the opponent’s grenade again and again, but it seemed like the power of the heavy magnetic interference grenade had affected the Willpower. It was certainly the power of the technique that the opponent had combined with the Willpower that seemed a little strange.

He could vaguely feel that his Willpower was becoming slower. He couldn’t help but feel slightly fearful.

Once again, another roll. Garen had unconsciously gotten closer to the black Mech. Their distance was not more than twenty meters apart.

The Moonfang did not leak this time as if it was because of the strengthening of Willpower. Garen felt slightly calmer. But he realized that only two minutes had passed after he quickly took a look at the time.

Seeing as the black Mech did not notice the closing distance between them, Garen quickly dodged to the left to avoid the bullets that were falling onto the floor.

A sneer came from inside the black Mech as he raised his hand again. This bastard was prepared to throw another grenade! Furthermore, he was throwing it directly in front of him!

Just as he lifted his hand, the grenade was still in his hand.

Garen hastily fixed his gaze.

“Now!”

He suddenly dashed forward and the Mech almost threw himself over; the blue thruster on his back burst violently with the strongest blue flame.

Bang!

The two Mechs fiercely slammed into each other and then they slid away from each other with about a ten-meter distance on the ground.

“You bastard!” The black Mech, Long Yuka made an angry sound and violently twisted the grenade in his hand.

Bang!

The grenade instantly burst opened large bullets, drawing both Mechs inwards. As if the large black bullets had a life of their own, it was sucked onto the surface of the two Mechs.

A shocked sound suddenly came from the audience. It was obvious that no one had expected this to happen.

Garen’s expression turned cold as his right elbow straightened for a moment. At the same time, while one of his knees was stuck in between the opponent’s legs, he used his other hand to pull the trigger of Gaussian gun.

Elbow, and cannon — they both shot up and out at the same time.

Hong!

The white Mech’s close-body combat was a rookie move, Garen had consecutively hit all spots with almost no pause. However, the shields of the two Mechs had flew off from the impact of the hit just now and there was nothing stopping him anymore.

As the explosion rumbled, the black Mech’s cockpit immediately burst into flames. Then, a black rescue capsule popped out and was pulled upwards by the gravitational field.

‘The competition ends there with Nonosiva as the winner!”

The electronic sounds in the Arena rang out.

Garen’s white Mech was also covered with cracks that were caused by the explosion. However, it was naturally much better if he compared it to his opponent whom which he gave a surprise attack to.

‘This is a shocking victory! Scholar Long Yuka practices the Giant Current Training Method that was passed down from his family. The total amount of Willpower he had was nearly twice as much as that of an average person’s training method in his generation. This is why he is able to use heavy magnetic interference grenade as a conventional weapon. But who would expect him to die in the hands of a long-range opponent using close body combat? Undoubtedly, it was his carelessness but it was also due to the opponent’s variety of powerful and comprehensive tactics,’ the narrator started explaining again.

Standing up quietly, Garen lifted his head up and looked at Long Yuka’s unsatisfied face that was in the rescue capsule. This yellow-haired young man did not seem to believe that he had lost the competition.

He took a look at his Moonfang and sure enough, the series of violent movements just now had made this thing sparkle again. He estimated that it would not last much longer before it retires.

Only then did Garen slowly drove the Mech towards the outside. He did not dare to make the movements too big, nor too fast, but only at a slow pace.

Though others felt as if he was exceptionally calm.

‘It seems that even though contestant Nonosiva is in the finals, he is still very calm. After his victory, he is going back to the Mech Warehouse in his uniquely slow pace. He has proved himself to be one of the only four contestants to date that has a record of an absolute victory,’ the narrator’s sound constantly echoed in the air.

Garen could not be bothered to think about it. After changing his Mech, he still had to compete in the Wheel Battle. Hence, he could only rest for a bit. Fervale should also be starting his finals by now. If they did not win, other opponents in other classes would deal with him as they continued.

Back in the Mech Warehouse, he immediately leaned onto the wall to catch some rest after he came out from the Mech. He watched as the damaged white Mech got carried away and a new white Mech walked in again from the inner Warehouse. Rays of repair lights hit the surface of the Mech’s body. There was no one around, he was the only one there. Everything else was the automated facilities. But he could clearly feel that the surrounding monitoring equipment was placed in every corner, constantly monitoring everything that goes on in here.

“Only the first opponent and it was already such a troublesome one…”

After letting out a harsh sigh, Garen closed his eyes to repose his energy.

If it would be unpredictable, then he would need to face two strong opponents later on.

******************

Both of Fervale’s eyes were already squinting from the sweat that was dripping downwards. He did not dare to wipe it off, he could only try his very best to keep it open. He fixed his eyes on the white Mech who was wrestling him.

The two Mechs on the Arena tightly smashed into each other, with their elbows tangled up. They constantly fought like a bull that exerts its force from its horns.

When the Mech’s capabilities are the same, the only thing that would determine a win or a lose was the Mech Pilot. The strong or weak strength Mech Pilot’s Willpower, or whether the posture taken was favorable, would be the key to winning.

Fervale did not know how he had ended up in this wrestling position, but he knew that this was the position that would benefit him the most.

“Don’t waste your energy,” a light tone came from the Mech opposite of him. It was a girl. “Since we were young, when have you won? I did not switch schools his time to waste my time on you.”

“I will win!” Fervale did not speak much. All he did was mobilized his Willpower and continued to inject it into his Mech’s input port.

“It’s useless.”

As the white Mech’s knees hit forwards, directly breaking into Fervale’s chest, a series of sparks ignited.

The two of them were now separated by a little distance. It was at this moment, the white Mech suddenly dashed forwards. Her elbows and knees quickly burst outwards, like a thunderstorm heading towards Fervale.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Fervale reluctantly shielded himself one time after another, but his whole Mech body was constantly pushed backward.

“Damn it! Why, why, why! Why can’t I win this time!” Hia face was becoming more and more ferocious. As if he did not care about his life anymore, his Willpower wildly entered input port with all that he had.

But to no avail, the Mech lost its balance and violently flew backward. Immediately after, the white Mech’s arrows chased after him and it was directly aimed at his elbow.

Thump!

Fervale felt a huge force pulling him out.

“I lost…”

He knew it was the rescue capsule.

“Such weakling…” He lowered his head. Through the glass, he could see his opponent, the green-haired girl’s arrogant expression.

‘Class of C2’s Celine won!’ The electronic voice rang out.

Fervale closed his eyes. He had once again lost to her. As they were growing up, he had never won once. Even if it was only once!

Celine was the family’s genius. No matter if it was the family’s inner competition, or for the future inheritance for her father’s hard-earned business, if no one could beat her in the end, then the inheritance would only go to Celine, according to family tradition.

Whereas his inheritance rights would be taken away by Celine because of his incompetence. The family would only allow the strongest person to be the successor; there would not be any exceptions.

Celine is unbeatable…

That girl not only has Level 2 of comprehensive strength, she even has the full details that would enable her to challenge Merseus and Bally!
