The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 100
Added 2024-07-29 09:59:56 +0000 UTCTitle: Fights High-Class Adventurer
In Orario, Level 1 is merely a low-class adventurer and the weakest among adventurers.
Beyond that, there are Level 2, Level 3... and even Level 5, Level 6, and other high-class adventurers of various levels. Currently, the strongest adventurer in Orario is Level 7, whose strength is vastly different from ordinary adventurers.
Only when you reach Level 2 can you be considered a high-class adventurer.
There is a significant divide between Level 2 and Level 1. The power gap between them is several times greater. It is almost impossible for a low-class adventurer to defeat a high-class adventurer.
“I am a Level 1 adventurer. It is clearly written on the registration form. What more can I do?”
The man who called himself Kumariki had a monotonous voice.
Even when facing the leader of the Ganesha Familia, Orario’s First-Class Adventurer, Level 5 Shakti Varma, his tone did not waver at all.
“Or do you want me to show you my back and use an Unlock Potion to forcibly reveal my abilities on my back?”
His tone was completely disrespectful.
Because he knew that the members of the Ganesha Familia were all good people.
The main god Ganesha advertised himself as the “God of the Masses” and aligned with Orario’s society, so the people in this Familia also followed the main god’s guidelines and were all people who could get along well with society.
As long as there was no evidence, the Ganesha Familia could do nothing to them.
Good people are easily bullied.
“...”
Shakti did not speak, but her sharp gaze slightly darkened.
The Falna adventurers receive from the gods is also called “Ability Value.” which can transform the adventurers’ accumulated experience and achievements into special abilities to show their own strength.
As long as you peek at the ability values, you can naturally see the level and even see the attribute values, magic, and skills, etc.
However, in Orario, spying on an adventurer’s Ability Value is taboo.
Ability Value is the foundation of an adventurer’s livelihood. It is something that should not be seen by others, otherwise, it would easily develop into a relationship of enmity.
The Unlock Potion is a drug that can forcibly reveal an adventurer’s Ability Value, which is usually blocked. It is an illegal product and will never be sold as a contraband item.
But even so, Shakti could not harm the youth on that stage.
She had decided to recruit him into her Familia, and she could not let him make a mistake in front of her.
“Isn’t that good enough?”
As Shakti hesitated, a voice came from within the ring.
“Just let him up.”
Hoshiharu stood at the edge of the ring, the back of his sword slapping his shoulder.
His expression was very warm, even one might say he had a bright smile. He looked extremely confident, as if he wasn’t worried about the consequences at all, and he appeared reckless.
“...Do you really think so?”
Shakti looked at him and felt a headache coming on.
This wasn’t a Level 1 that could be handled by ordinary people with hard work, but a truly high-class Level 2 adventurer that created a massive gap with ordinary people.
Outside, such a person was enough to dominate.
“That’s fine.”
Hoshiharu nodded confidently.
“...I hope you can survive.”
Shakti rubbed her forehead and sighed helplessly after a long time.
Even though she was twice his age, she had a great fondness for this little man. She really did not want to see him die in front of her, but the contestants’ thoughts did not allow her as an outsider to interfere. In this game, she had to watch closely.
Kumariki’s eyes flashed coldly, and his unmasked anger toward Hoshiharu appeared in his gaze.
Among them, there was anger at Hoshiharu for rejecting his proposal and speaking rudely, and also frustration because he was not taken seriously by the other party.
He walked past the weapon rack, choosing a club and carrying it in his hand.
“Kid, I’m going to make you regret saying such things!”
“I await you, Kumakoro.”
“...It’s Kumariki!”
“Understood, Kumakoro.”
Green veins popped on Kumariki’s forehead, his breathing gradually becoming rapid, and then he walked to the ring with heavy steps.
Although Kumariki was just a pseudonym he had casually made up, the unreasonable attitude of the child made him angrier, making him feel belittled, which made him want to tear this child apart.
The slight delay did not cause the audience to lose enthusiasm, as the presence of an extraordinary figure like Hoshiharu ignited the excitement of the entire audience.
“Go, kid, I’m going to defeat you and win!”
“Bro, how much did you bet?”
“Everything I brought.”
Excitement filled the entire arena, and everyone, whether ordinary people or adventurers, humans or Demi-Humans, became excited.
Cheers echoed throughout the arena.
“The game begins!”
The announcer held the loudspeaker, and the announcement resounded throughout the venue.
*BOOM*
Kumariki shook the ground with great force, his feet spinning upwards, like a giant bear running at high speed.
His eyes bulged with rage, and all the muscles in his body condensed into cords, and he raised the club in his hand with terrifying momentum.
“Ha!”
With a loud shout, he ran towards Hoshiharu and slammed the club covered in iron spikes in his hand towards him.
“This person is clearly not Level 1!”
As the game started, Shakti’s heart tightened as her eyes were fixed on the orc.
Indeed.
It was impossible for a Level 1 adventurer to have such speed and strength. At least, this was the strength that a Level 2 adventurer possessed.
A strong wind blew against Hoshiharu’s face.
This strike was incredibly powerful and heavy.
Whether it was the unparalleled arm strength or the wild posture in holding the weapon, Hoshiharu was reminded of Kurashiki Kuraudo whom he had fought not long ago.
*BANG*
A roaring sound echoed like firecrackers.
The club hit the ground with a hammer, shattering the white bricks on the spot, and shards of stone splattered out, causing pain.
Hoshiharu dodged the strike by a hair’s breadth, and the strong wind blew past him, lifting his hair into the air.
He did not use the pivot tactic he had used against Kuraudo.
Because Orochimaru had a jaw, he could easily be clamped, but the club had no concept of a jaw at all, and its handle was so smooth that it was impossible to grasp.
The pivot tactic was essentially the application of the leverage principle, which had to be used on a weapon closest to the wrist to effectively disperse the opponent’s strange force within an instant.
After dodging the direct strike at a very close range, Hoshiharu immediately stepped forward, intending to use this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
To quickly launch a counterattack, Hoshiharu dodged within the limit distance.
In this way, he ensured that his crossing distance still covered the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to escape his sword’s punishment.
*WHOOSH*
However, at the next moment, the club was lifted again and swept unexpectedly.
