The Immortal Player

Chapter 276: Hi Everyone!



Chapter 276: Hi Everyone!

A few hours later, their 'Daily Routine' in the game was finished. Thus, Pedro, Lony, and Talia prepared themselves for the press conference. There were even makeup artists and hairdressers that were personally sent by Pedro's momwith the help of Sabrina's Mom, that would ensure that the three of them would look good for the interview.

Of course, Sabrina and Loren were with them to cheer them up. While Mathew, Arvee, Roval, and Aldo were in the guild's training room and were doing spars for their Taekwondo training since they have nothing much to do until the end of the Press Conference.

Roval and Aldo were especially fired up because of the spar that they had against Talia. They might have not won against Talia but they were, at the least, able to hold her off for a certain period of time on her 'handicapped' mode.

"Vice-Captain, your younger sister has terrifying instincts!" Aldo said whilst forcing out a smile. "She was able to dodge bro Roval's attacks without even having a clear view!"

"Well She fought the most mountain wolves amongst us. Isn't it only natural for her to be adept in noticing straightforward attacks?" Mathew said before taking a sip on his water bottle.

At this moment, Arveewho was kicking a punching bag, interjected, saying, "Roval should have kicked her, instead of a sword strike! That would have made Talia evade backward, allowing bro Aldo's follow up to hit."

Mathew pointed towards Arvee after drinking water and said, "He's right! Talia tends to always lean as low as she can to gain momentum and increase her speed exponentially. A kick would have startled her, even for just a moment. If she falls back, she'd get hit by your strike or you could have also followed up with a kick on one of her legs to immobilize her before dealing a killing blow."

Arvedar simply nodded in response and said, "There's a lot of ways you can deal with people dependent on speed. But overall, what you guys just need to remember is that in order to defeat fast opponents, you just need to restrict their movements as much as possible."

"Then, use that chance to deal them a killing blow," Mathew added with a smile.

Arvee nodded in agreement as he returned his focus to the punching bag.

On the other hand, Aldo was rubbing his chin and was in deep thought. Then, he glanced to Rovalwho just finished doing a set of pushups.

Aldo asked, "But I am amazed For you, bro Roval, to be able to catch up with us after your right eye got covered with blood How were you able to gather yourself that fast? Was it just pure anger at that time? Like you have your mind was clouded or something?"

Roval simply shook his head and said, "I was just too absorbed in the fight at that moment. I got astonished at first. That is why I retreated. But in the next second, I somehow got back to myself and after that My body just moved on its own, dashing ahead to intercept Talia."

"I see" Aldo nodded in response.

This made Arvee stopped kicking the punching bag and, consequently glance towards Aldo with a frown. But in the next second, he glanced back to the punching bag and resumed his training, while saying, "I just remembered You and Sister Loren joined the training later than everyone else. No wonder the two of you are not used to getting injuries."

"What do you mean?" Aldo asked.

"Instructor Ragas and Clara were quite brutal at the start, you know!" Roval complained. Then, he forced out a smile and said, "I even got my arms cut off after having a spar with Instructor Clara!"

"What? Really?" Aldo's eyes enlarged in astonishment. Then, he can't help but glance at Mathew for confirmation.

Mathew simply nodded in response and said, "Well Lony got the worst treatment of all. His feet and hands got smashed by Instructor Ragas before getting beaten up for two gruesome minutes."

*Cough! *Cough!

Arvee coughed several times before saying, "That old man is ruthless! Good thing that Captain instructed them to go easy on us, after Lony's match! Else I could have even ended up in the same case with him. Those NPCs' movements were too fast, even for us!"

"Huh? But Can't you guys fight them head-on, in spars lately?" Aldo asked with a frown on his face.

Mathew could only force out a smile in response and said, "That's because they are only allowed to make a few steps each second! But if they were to really fight with us, with no limits, you would not even be able to see them 'walk'!"

Arvee nodded in agreement and said, "You did not notice the presence of any baby spiders during your spar, right? you can't even notice that the queen spider was laying its eggs! It was because of those two freak NPCs, who were handling things too fast to the point that you would not even be able to notice their presence alone. What much more about the things that they were doing? That's how fast they could move."

"You're all just lucky not to experience their brutally!" Roval complained. Then, he sighed and said, "Well The captain said something with 'next level' training It must have something to do with the instructors having no limits, right vice cap?"

"Sadly, I do not know," Mathew said whilst forcing out a smile. "Captain does not also tell me such information unless it would be soon executed. Whatever it is I assume that it had something to do with the results of our participation in the Exhibition Games. After all, the number of players kept increasing. There's a huge possibility that stronger opponents would appear eventually, and we'd soon need to face them, not only in competitions but also in the game itself."

Aldo nodded in response and added, saying, "I heard in the forums that players were starting to obtain A-Rank weapons by accident. So, most of the players nowadays are busy searching for such weapons rather than farming and increasing their levels. Well Bro Pedro said to ignore them for now. He told me that there's a bigger possibility that the players would fight amongst each other just to gain such items. It is why he emphasized to simply fight with typical items in the competition."

Mathew simply smirked in response and said, "You are right. And It's not like they would be as terrifying as our two instructors could be! Anyway Go back to training! The press conference would soon start. I want to watch the reactions of my little sister when the media starts firing their questions."

At this moment, Roval also smirked mischievously and said, "It would also be fun to record the press conference and make some memes out of Lony later. Hehehe"

Arvee simply smirked in response whilst sending a thumbs up to Roval. On the other hand, Aldo could only shake his head in responsenot knowing what to react to Arvee and Roval's 'evil' plan.

Time went past and the Press Conference was about to start. Pedro, Lony, and Talia went down first together with Pedro's mom as their acting team manager.

*Ehem! *Ehem! *Ehem!

Lony coughed several times as their elevator goes down at a seemingly unusual and faster rate.

This, in turn, made Pedro smirked in response and said, "Why are you so nervous? It's not like you are going to spar with the NPC, aren't you?"

Lony could only force out a smile in response.

But before he could utter a word nor cough once again, Talia slapped his back and said, "You are too nervous, elder brother Lony! Calm yourself down, or else you'd be an internet sensation after the press conference! You don't want to pee yourself in front of the whole world, right?"

Pedro wanted to hold his laughter, but he failed to do so. Thus, consequently attracting the attention of everyone else.

Talia simply crossed her arms and said, "Just look at Expert Cap! He's not even flinching a bit. That's because you can just ignore them if you think that you are starting to get overwhelmed. Always think that they were someone who 'wants' to talk to us, and 'not' us wanting to talk to them!"

"But you wanted them to talk to you, right? That's why you asked to join us, right?" Pedro said in a mocking tone.

This had somehow made Lony chuckle, slightly removing the nervousness that he felt deep inside.

"Tch!" Talia flicked her tongue in response. Then, she grumbled, saying, "I want to be seen on the TV, Expert Cap! Not talk to them, okay?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Just enjoy the experience, okay?" Pedro said with a smirk on his face.

At this moment, the elevator had arrived on the ground floor.

As it opened, a lot of media personnel with different sizes of cameras were waiting for them. But for some reason, they did not immediately take a lot of shots of pictures towards them.

Thus, Pedro simply shrugged it off and took that chance to leave 'easily' without being blinded by the flashes of the camera. Even Talia could only bitterly flick her tongue as her 'dreamed grand entrance' turned in a different way.

Since she can't afford to get separated from the group, Talia simply waved towards the cameramen and said, "Hi everyone!"
