Chapter 54: First Victory
Chapter 54: First Victory
The spectator area of the A8 Arena.
As more and more girls began to notice Lu Wu, an unusual atmosphere started to thicken. Girls from different teams gathered together, and whispers filled the air.
"That guy is so handsome, but I wonder what his name is and which school he's from. Is he taken?"
"Look, he's assigning tasks to his teammates. He's probably their captain. What a capable guy!"
"But what's up with that fat girl? How dare she sit so close to my idol and even touch him? Let me at her, I'll teach her a lesson!"
...
Within a short time, the spectator area had transformed into a fan club for this fresh-faced idol.
The male students nearby felt extremely uncomfortable.
They couldn't understand if their teammates had come to gather intelligence on the seed teams or to admire this new heartthrob.
They were both perplexed and jealous.
What was so special about that guy down there? He had the same features as everyone else, and he didn't seem any more handsome than them. Moreover, his Summoned Beast was just a Mini Skeleton, so why were their teammates so fascinated by him?
Many of them felt they weren't any less impressive than Lu Wu, and some even considered themselves superior. However, few dared to voice these thoughts. One who had expressed similar overconfidence by calling the Mini Skeleton a 'loser' was already being ridiculed into silence.
"What's wrong with having a Mini Skeleton as a Summoned Beast? Do you know how hard our idol has worked?"
All because of that one face.
Lu Wu had already gained a group of diehard... er, true fans! The power of these true fans left the male students around him seething with anger, but they could only direct their frustration towards Lu Wu, silently praying that Team 038 would crush this pretty boy in the upcoming match.
They wanted to show these girls who the real men were.
Well, judging by the Summoned Beasts of Lu Wu's team, they believed this situation was highly likely... no, it was certain to happen.
So, they eagerly awaited the sight of Lu Wu's embarrassment and the girls' disillusionment.
Amidst the anticipation of these guys, the seed team 038 arrived right on time.
For a 10:30 AM match, they showed up at 10:20 AM.
These three boys were a bit cunning.
They were aware that their status as seed players would draw attention, and many competitors would be waiting for their arrival. The later they showed up, the more psychological pressure their opponents would face.
By arriving at the last moment, they would become the center of attention.
One team would enter amidst cheers, while the other would endure scrutiny and anticipation, leading to completely different mental states during the match, allowing them to secure victory more easily.
Indeed, with such a significant advantage, the tactics employed by team 038 were rather underhanded.
However, upon their arrival, the situation differed slightly from their expectations.
Instead of the respectful and admiring gazes they had anticipated, they were greeted by the true fans who had been won over by Lu Wu's face, ready to condemn them.
"Who do they think they are, acting so arrogantly just because they're a seed team?"
"Our idol is here, and they dare to arrive just in time, showing no respect for others!"
"They're so ugly; I say they should just forfeit the match!"
...
038's team members were completely baffled.
What was going on? The script was all wrong! It wasn't until the staff instructed them to prepare for the match below the arena and exchange greetings with Lu Wu's team that they realized the reason upon seeing Lu Wu.
038's team members were furious, shaking with anger.
After all this, these girls were arguing with them because their idol had a Mini Skeleton as his Summoned Beast?
Is there any hope left for this world? When will these average-looking boys finally stand up for themselves?
In a fit of anger, Zhang Ke, the captain of Team 038, slapped Lu Wu's hand away and taunted him.
"I don't shake hands with minnows!"
This was his last act of defiance as an ordinary guy.
But his slap only made the girls watching from the spectator stand angrier.
"Are you bullying people? Do you have no manners at all?"
"Without even the most basic manners, humph! Someone like you doesn't deserve to win!"
...
Team 038, who had been scolded again, turned ashen-faced. However, they were very tacit and rational, choosing not to retort but instead channeling all their hatred towards Lu Wu and his team.
They clenched their fists, determined to give Lu Wu and his team a thorough beating.
And at the first opportunity, they issued a harsh warning to Lu Wu and his team.
"You pretty boy, just wait for us!"
They vowed to use their strength to fight against this damned looks-obsessed world.
In a 1619 book, there's no mistake!
Regarding this, Lu Wu expressed his innocence.
He never expected to encounter such a situation.
Besides, the ones scolding them were those girls, why would these guys pick on him? Sigh, it was all because of his damned plain-looking face.
Lu Wu, feeling particularly aggrieved, raised his hand to ask the referee beside him, "Sorry, can we start now?"
Zhang Ke, hearing Lu Wu's words, became even more displeased.
"What? Are you so eager to end your match? Very well, I'll grant your wish. I'll eliminate you the moment the whistle blows."
Lu Wu ignored him, focusing on the referee, who promptly responded with a nod and blew the starting whistle.
"Move out!"
Zhang Ke, true to his tactical nature, had a devious mind. Despite having an absolute advantage, he initiated a direct assault as soon as the referee's whistle sounded, issuing commands in that very instant.
At his command, Team 038's Jungle Wolf, Goblin, and Gnome rushed forward without hesitation.
It must be said that Team 038 lived up to its reputation as a seed team.
The way their summoned beasts attacked was incredibly swift and fierce, leaving the girls watching from the spectator stand in awe and the men in high spirits.
Each of them silently cheered for Team 038 in their hearts, hoping that Team 038 would crush Lu Wu's team.
They wanted this pretty boy to taste the bitterness of being beaten by society.
However, the script seemed a bit off. Just as Team 038's three summoned beasts charged forward, rows of earth spikes suddenly emerged.
Fortunately, these three summoned beasts were well-trained, stopping in their tracks to avoid the earth spikes.
But avoiding them was useless. As they dodged, Fuzzy Bird's Cold Aura erupted, instantly enveloping the three summoned beasts and significantly reducing their speed.
Meanwhile, Tuan Tuan instantly enlarged herself and charged forward, colliding with the Jungle Wolf and Goblin whose movements were restricted by the earth spikes and speed hindered by the Cold Aura, knocking them out of the arena!
In an instant, Team 038's three summoned beasts eliminated two of Lu Wu's team, and the remaining Gnome was shot in the leg by Fuzzy Bird's Ice Needle, sustaining an injury.
Only then did Lu Wu's Little Skeleton slowly approach the Gnome, waving its hand to recall the already low-health Gnome.
Thus, Lu Wu's team won their first battle with an overwhelming advantage, securing victory in a single move when no one expected it.
...
This chapter seems to have unlocked something. Don't you guys want to say something?
Like how handsome Nu Du is, for example!
By the way, there's a Summoned Beast Building in the comment section where you can write down any summoned beasts you'd like to see.
