322 7.50 Stefanie The Red Mage (2/2)
”Boss, means my damage rating increased to 1260? Sweet...let me set up the attributes first. How about you boss? How many points were unallocated yet and what's you single point says on the interface.”
”Haiyaaa...Paiseh la. For your information, each of them is showing +156 based on a single point and I have 1087 unallocated points. I'm going to allocate 215 points each and the strength to be 227 points. So my base points for strength would be 4,540. Cool eh...hahahaha. I'm going to extinguish the flames of their arrows...!”
....
”What...? That simple guy had over 4k on his strength alone and yet he seems so nonchalant about it all. So carefree and yet so down to earth. What kind of person was he and how long had he been grinding to be at this level...! If he didn't claim it to his band members, they would be breaking into a song afterwards. 4k strength...so powerful from that simpleton...!”
”I'd better go see what they are up to next. Their names were up next on the duel arena but yet after they had allocated their points, their status remains hidden. I heard the one wielding the staff was already more than 1k in strength and his band members all seemed relaxed and not even showing off their weapons and armour.”
”Other adventurers seem to be showing off their weapons with their blue aura but these 3 seemed so relax. I've never seen such composure before. Steady boom peep peep la...”
....
”Hear Ye...Hear Ye...There will be a round-robin competition of 10 men on each side, between The Flaming Arrows and The Vagabonds. Each side would choose 10 men and in the case of Vagabonds, only Robin The Firestarter alone would be on stage to meet against the 10 members of the Flaming Arrows one at a time.”
”Since this would be handicap duel, it has been changed to a battle royale...where every 1 minute, a team member from the Flaming Arrows would come up to face Robin the Firestarter and every fall that Robin performs, he will earn 20 gold pieces. If he is defeated before the 10th man was thrown off this arena, the money would be forfeited and returned to the challenger.”
”Our bookies are taking the bets now...one bet is to determine which round would Robin be knocked out and another bet determine who is the winner and everyone knows it by now who would emerge as V I C T O R...!!!”
”We have 15 minutes before we start off the duel, only a single-handed weapon can be used...Come...place your bets...place your bets...place your bets...”
....
”Hmmph...everyone seems wanting to make a quick stack of gold coin (not make a quick buck). I won't want to gamble... it's not a good habit for the readers...especially when comes to drinking and gambling addiction...its a no-no for me. It would be good if I say hello to them first, if there's any luck of perhaps, joining their mysterious band?”
.......
”Hello there, my name is Stefanie and I'm a red mage. Could I move toward and attend to this little conflict that you would partake in this outrageous one-sided match with the notorious Flaming Arrows?”
”Oh...hi there. My name is Robin the Firestarter that's my wife-to-be called me. She's Matilda, a swordsman and there's Jean Lethal a staffer or polearm warrior. We are the Band of Vagabonds because we do not care of the class, or weapons used or armour worn by any adventurer that wishes to join us.”
The young man who looked like 15 shook hands with me while I exchanged pleasantries with Matilda aged 14, his wife-to-be and a polearm warrior named Jean Lethal (sounded like John Little as if it was referring to his little Weiner named John) aged 15.
”Well, I'm considered as 15 myself...and it's nice to meet adventurers within the same age group. So...what happened between you and Flaming Arrows that ended you to have this duel?”
”Naaah...it was nothing much. I just hate bullies and arrogant people. Say, what's a red mage anyway? I know of black and white and grey if they are in between but never a red mage.”
”A red mage is a healing and attack mage. The maximum level is only at Level 2. I'm a Level 3 Gathering Chi at Cheng 5. The other bands wanted at least Level 3 healing or attack mage and I somehow got the highest at level 2 and was in and out of the bands till i lost count.”
*Klang Klang* *Klang Klang*
”Will the 1st challenger and contender come up on the arena in 60 seconds before I rule out the regulations.” the announcer said as he sounded his handheld bell as if he was selling fish and chips.
”Alright, they are calling for me now...Be seeing you in about 10 minutes. Here, Matilda, you hold on to my bow, arrow and the Heaven And Earth Splitting Divine Sword” the young man named Robin went on to the duel arena with his bare hands and just his armour alone.
”Is he joking or making himself look like a damn fool? He's going against the lowest members who had at least a sword, lance or halberd with a breastplate and he is just equipped with the lowest studded armour in the light class?!?” I murmured and the rest of the band members were whooping on ecstasy to give their band leader encouragement or simply waiting to be thrown off the arena!?
