Chapter 192: HUMBLE. [1]
***
Amon returned to the FULLDIVE Venue an hour later.
He had given Lily some food and toys to keep herself entertained till he returned.
Upon returning, all of the gazes turned to him as if they were anticipating their arrival.
Just like he had expected, Ren and Liliana's team had won with ease.
Smiling, he gave a thumbs up to Ren while both of the teams got ready for their next matches.
Gathering Alya and Adam, they quickly formulated a basic plan.
Unlike last time, there was not much to ponder on since the opposing team was weak as hell.
After they were done, Amon quickly stretched his body while smiling.
'Alright, let's get quickly done with this...'
He headed to the FULLDIVE pods.
***
[After 30 Minutes/3 Minutes in Real Life]
Six pods opened with a bulging pop in the area.
From the three pods on the left, three people emerged with horrified expressions.
No. Horrified was putting it lightly.
It was as if they were traumatized. Cursed for their life as sweat drenched their clothes.
Their eyes were trembling as if they had just seen a ghost.
They slumped down on the ground on their knees, unable to support themselves.
And then from the right, 3 pods opened up.
And out came Alya, Adam, and Amon with indifferent expressions on their faces.
Ignoring the baffled faces of the other people and the opposing team, he turned to the duo beside him.
And smiled subtly while giving a thumbs-up.
"Good match. Didn't take long."
Adam and Alya, nodded silently, trying to hide the drop of sweat tracing down their sides.
No, everyone in the hall was looking at Amon silently, unable to form a word.
Even Maxville was looking at Amon with slightly widened eyes.
The whole match hadn't taken more than 30 minutes, or 3 minutes in real life.
And it was all because of the black-haired boy who was standing before them. The orders were just like before, they had to find a spot or kill the opposing team. Only the terrain was different as this time, it was a desert.
A desert with illusions to be precise.
However, as soon as the battle had begun, Amon had shot off with his team for the enemies.
And before Maxville could even change the objectives of the match, they had already arrived before the opposing team.
And along with their familiars, it didn't the team more than 2 minutes to absolutely destroy them.
No.
It was more like it didn't take Amon more than 2 minutes to destroy them, considering he had done 90% of the work.
He didn't even let his team move, already manifesting his elements and Nultharia.
He was like a ghost, appearing in the form of smoke here and there, obliterating the team. "Ghost..." One of the members pointed at Amon, trying to back off by crawling on the ground. "Ghost..." The second member did the same.
And the third as well, as all of them started to back off faster and faster when Amon locked his gazes with them.
He simply smiled at them and their expressions turned into despair.
The cadets pulled at the other cadet's clothes, muttering to save themselves.
Amon shrugged, removing his gaze from them.
To change the topic of the conversation, he moved his gaze to the screen on the ceiling.
And it worked as everyone followed his gaze to look at Ren and Liliana's battle.
For them, they also won the match 15 minutes later after Amon and his team arrived.
It would have been much shorter if....
Amon looked at Ren's dissatisfied and annoyed expression as he arrived back.
In all of his matches, Ren was forced to copy their third teammates element.
Who was not only Earth-attributed, one of the weak elements in the terrain they were given, but also lower ranked than Ren.
It was obvious that Ren was annoyed by this aspect as it dragged their team down.
Unfortunately for him, Liliana didn't give him any chance to touch her.
Nevertheless, they still won and crushed the opposing team in the end.
As Ren's team walked off, Amon quickly walked up to Ren, placing an arm around his
shoulder.
"What's up?"
Ren clicked his tongue, visibly annoyed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It was something very rare for Ren who was mostly chill and cool.
Well, at least until the matter was about his homies.
"Nah bro, I'm done with this shit."
"Calm down, calm down." Amon patted his back as both of them sat on a bunch.
Ren's familiar, Athex, also seemed to crawl around his arm as if trying to comfort him.
"Just ignore her."
"Fuck.." Ren cursed, ruffling his hair.
From his gaze, it was obvious that he wanted nothing more in the world to just stand up and
slap Liliana right now.
However, even he knew that there were limits on how far he could go with a gum.
Athena's wrath wasn't always unavoidable.
As Amon cooled Ren down, he heard Maxville arrive before them.
"The two matches were done relatively quickly than the time given for them.
If the two teams agree, we can go ahead and proceed with the final match right now rather
than resting."
Ren and Amon looked up.
It was a little funny since both of them weren't even the team leaders but Maxville had arrived
before them.
In Maxville's eyes, Amon and Ren were the real team leaders of A and B probably.
Liliana was strong, sure, but she carried a pride bigger on her shoulders than than the power
she had in her muscles.
Amon looked at his team in the distance.
Both of them were apparently conversing with each other.
They matched his gaze and nodded.
And Amon nodded back to Maxville.
"Alright, we will proceed with the match."
Ren also nodded, without even looking at his team.
"Yeah, we will go on as well."
Maxville nodded while Liliana watched with a gaping mouth in the distance.
She furiously started walking over to Ren, her heels clicking against the floor.
It indicated that she was against it but Maxville ignored it all and headed back.
While Amon simply glared at Liliana from afar.
A single glare.
Just a single glare was enough to convey his message to her.
It said.
'Shut the fuck up.'
Patting Ren's shoulder, Amon stood up, flashing him a smirk.
"Let's go now, you ready to get cooked?"
It was an attempt to lighten the mood.
And it seemed to work as Ren looked up, surprised before smirking back.
"Sure, we will see who talks after the match."
They did a fist bump before heading over to their pods and settling down.
And then, a notification flashed before Amon's eyes.
