MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information Chapter 87 – An Opponent Worthy Of Respect

Chapter 87: An Opponent Worthy of Respect

The Heavenly Fire raged unrelentlessly toward Ah Fei.

Unable to jump out of the arena, Ah Fei could only take the vicious attack head on.

As the smoke cleared, Ah Fei was now severely injured and laid on the ground, on the verge of death.

The teachers on the Spell School's rostrum were dumbstruck, stunned at the devastatingly powerful fireball that Fike had unleashed.

“Teacher Maggie, it seems that you have taken in a good disciple!”

Maggie nodded with a smile.

Watching the thrilling scene, Chambers also voiced in excitement.

“Look, that Ah Fei's actually standing up again!”

At that moment, in the arena, Ah Fei was stubbornly struggling to his feet.

“Fike, was that your full strength? Where are your other skills? If you have anything else, feel free to use them!”

Ah Fei growled in a low voice.

Seeing that he could still say these stubborn words despite being so gravely injured, Fike responded.

“You are a respectable opponent.”

Pressing his left hand against his own temple, a golden flash surged out from the point of contact.

Below the stage, Sertia was watching the scene unfold.

Her mind quickly flashed back to that night in Miracle Forest, where Fike had used this exact move to severely cripple the King-tier Exotic Beast scout.

She thought to herself, “This time, his opponent is probably doomed.”

A huge, chaotic beam of golden light shot out from the center of Fike's forehead, shooting toward Ah Fei at blinding speed.

“No!”

A familiar figure leaped down from the rostrum.

Just as the golden ray had been about to hit its mark, Ah Fei's eyes had been tightly shut in antic.i.p.ation for Fike's final blow.

Suddenly, a huge barrier of light materialized between the two contenders, blocking the ray.

It had been summoned by Chambers.

Right before this, the teachers watching on the rostrum had clearly felt the emergence of an extremely powerful force, centering in on Fike.

At the same time, Chambers had noticed Ah Fei's reaction, which seemed to show that he had given up resisting.

It looked like he had a death wish.

As such, Chambers had rushed off the rostrum onto the stage, casting his Holy Light Barrier.

Fike's Holy Demon Slayer Ray completely dissipated on contact with the barrier.

Ah Fei finally couldn't hold his anymore, and stumbled before falling down.

“Stop competing, stop competing! On behalf of the referee, Fike wins this match!”

Chambers yelled.

Looking at Ah Fei who had fallen onto the ground, Fike seemed to snap to his senses, finally realizing that he had gone too far.

Within all the freshmen here, Ah Fei had been among the strongest. However, he still could not compete with his skills.

After all, Fike was someone who'd trained and gone through countless life-or-death encounters with Exotic Beasts.

At this moment, golden clouds appeared beside Chambers, flying toward the spot where Ah Fei had fallen.

The clouds parted, s.h.i.+ning gentle golden rays onto Ah Fei's body.

In what seemed to be an instant, the unconscious youth gradually opened his eyes.

The entire arena recovered from the absolute silence that had hung heavily throughout the series of events.

Thunderous applause and shouts erupted.

“Did you see that just now? The ray that Fike used was so cool!”

“That's right, that's right! That power… If it hadn't been for director Chambers's sudden appearance, I'm afraid that Ah Fei would have already been reduced to ashes by now!”

“As expected of my Lord Fike. His strength is indeed much stronger than these randoms!”

Everyone in the stadium was discussing Fike's attack just now.

Fike's keen ears were able to pick up that their discussions were all about him. It was as if no one cared about whether Ah Fei had lived or died.

Fike felt a tinge of regret in his heart.

Even if Ah Fei had been the one who asked him to give it his all, even so…

The audience did not have any respect for that determination at all.

In a world where only the strong ruled, would the weak only be able to kneel on the ground and be trampled?

Fike walked forward and stretched out a hand to help Ah Fei up.

Consequently, the referee announced the results.

“This match has been won by Fike!”

Ah Fei grabbed Fike's hand and pulled himself up.

“Thank you, Fike. You let me experience your strength. I admit defeat wholeheartedly!”

Fike replied smiling.

“No, Ah Fei, you're also very strong. You are an opponent worthy of my respect!”

And in the distance, in the stands of the Melee School's arena, Rowan watched everything unfold.

“Tch, what a displeasing kid!” he grumbled.

Fike and Ah Fei separated and walked off the arena, awaiting for the next few matches to begin.

Sertia went over to Fike's side and whispered.

“In the entire academy, perhaps I'm the only one who's ever seen the power of your Holy Demon Slayer Ray? Fortunately, that teacher intervened, or else that kid would have suffered.”

Fike said with a smile.

“Actually, even if he hadn't helped, I was already planning to terminate the skill just before that ray landed on Ah Fei. After all, this is just a compet.i.tion, not a war.”

Meanwhile, Chambers, who had returned to the rostrum, was deep in thought.

Just as his Holy Light Barrier had absorbed the force of Fike's golden ray…

Chambers himself could clearly feel that the construct seemed to have cracked.

'What a terrifying kid. How could his beam carry such powerful force?'

As the day pa.s.sed, Fike eventually went through his third and fourth matches.

They had all ended with the same results against similar opponents.

Fike won without releasing any spells or skills at all.

After that, in the next scheduled fight against Irene, she had chosen to surrender without even entering the arena.

The crowd sighed despite being surprised at Fike's strength.

After the battle between Fike and Ah Fei, many students from other schools had also come to watch the fights in the Spell School's arena.

Among them were many girls who took the initiative to try initiating a chat with Fike as well.

“Looks like because of your appearance, quite a lot of people have developed an interest in the spell school!”

Sertia said to Fike in a somewhat annoyed manner.

Hearing her words, Fike could only smile awkwardly.

“Watch the match, watch the match.”

As the compet.i.tion drew close to its end, Fike's points had earned the rank of first place among the freshmen of the Spell School.

In second place was a youth named Cazino.

Ah Fei was third.

Because Fike had fought one more match than Cazino, he had one more point than him.

However, Cazino had not lost a single match either, and Fike had been paying close attention to his matches.

He learned that Cazino was a student of the Long-range Magic Department as well, in Mage Cla.s.s 1.

The referee opened his mouth once again.

“Now, the final match of the day!”

“First-ranked Fike against Second-ranked Cazino!”
