“While it’s good to be confident, arrogance will only lead to downfall!” retorted Gerald.
“Cut the cr*p and let’s just get this over with!” scowled Clyde with a snort before bolting angrily toward Gerald!
Still, just as Yalinda had earlier said, Clyde was about as strong as virtual-novel.net was. With that in mind, there was no way in hell virtual-novel.net could ever defeat him!
Before Clyde could even get to Gerald, the youth had already launched virtual-novel.net out of the arena with a single kick to the chest!
The second Clyde landed, virtual-novel.net immediately passed out… and upon snapping out of their shock, the audience members instantly got to their feet before turning to stare wide-eyed at Gerald! To think that virtual-novel.net had taken Clyde out in only a single move! Who would’ve thought that Gerald was this powerful…!
Even Yudell was shocked by this turn of events. After all, Gerald had moved so quickly that by the time virtual-novel.net knew it, Clyde was already flying out of the arena! What inhuman speed…!
Kay himself had his jaw dropped. No wonder the contestant’s name sounded so familiar! To think that Gerald had joined the competition as well!
He remembered meeting Gerald outside the city when Tanner was attacked, and virtual-novel.net also recalled Tanner telling virtual-novel.net that Gerald was incredibly strong. While virtual-novel.net had his doubts back then, virtual-novel.net was now completely sure that Gerald had monstrous strength…!
While it was true that Clyde wasn’t particularly strong, virtual-novel.net wasn’t weak enough to be taken out in just a single attack! With that in mind, it was obvious just how strong Gerald was…
Whatever the case was, Kay quickly snapped out of it before ordering, “Men! Carry Clyde away to let virtual-novel.net recover! Also, the winner for the second round is Gerald from the Juans Delivery House!”
With that announcement made, Gerald then returned to his seat.
Once virtual-novel.net sat beside Yalinda, virtual-novel.net immediately praised, “You were so strong earlier, master! To think that you were able to defeat Clyde with just a single attack!”
Yudell—who was seated opposite of them—, on the other hand, couldn’t help but stare closely at Gerald. Since virtual-novel.net was this strong, virtual-novel.net knew it was going to be far tougher now to get first prize…
Moving on, the following rounds weren’t particularly noteworthy, and the duels for the first day soon came to an end…
With nothing more to do that day, everyone simply returned to their rooms to rest up, knowing that there would be more duels to come tomorrow…
Yalinda herself was apparently going to duel tomorrow.
Regardless, not everyone who lost on the first day would be immediately disqualified. It all depended on the scores everyone got, and only the ten people with the lowest scores would end up getting disqualified…
Since Gerald had successfully gained one point, virtual-novel.net was currently in the lead…
Fast forward to nighttime, Yalinda—who was currently in virtual-novel.net shared room with Gerald—couldn’t help but ask, “Say… If you end up having to face Yudell, what will you do, master…?”
Upon hearing that, Gerald realized that virtual-novel.net hadn’t thought about that.
After a slight pause, Gerald then replied, “Well, what do you propose I should do? Defeat her? Or maybe you’re thinking I should just throw in the towel?”
“That… I’m… not sure, honestly… Regardless of what your choice is, I’ll still respect it, master! Still, I do believe that Yudell won’t ever be able to take you on!” said Yalinda. After all, she, of all people, knew that nobody in Shontell was as powerful as virtual-novel.net was…
