Meanwhile, on Mars, students of the Kaedeian Royal Academy were fairly excited about the upcoming matches. The girls couldn’t wait to see how different was his version of Art of the Soaring Heaven.
One of the key factors of battle strategies was improvisation. The more complicated it was, the harder for it to be subdued. One would need to participate in bigger battles from time to time in order to completely master the essence of a new strategy.
People would like to see if Art of the Soaring Heaven was really designed to counter Art of the Blazing Flare.
Rhin was sitting down with a solemn expression. She was joined by a group of students who were the experts in this category. Apparently, they were also watching the matches in order to gather enough data and evidence for their research on Art of the Soaring Heaven.
Both players were given more than half an hour to prepare themselves. The first match was about to begin, yet the numbers of spectators was still increasing. Clearly, they were all interested upon seeing Einherjar Wannabe’s name was mentioned.
Cameron was certain that Einherjar Wannabe would never let him down. But unfortunately, he still wasn’t able to have Einherjar Wannabe under his control. How he wished Einherjar Wannabe would act under his command? Recently, Cameron had been trying to figure out Einherjar Wannabe’s real identity. Apparently, his random appearance was not very good for business development. Hence, Cameron was thinking of approaching him in person by tracking him down with the clues that Einherjar Wannabe left behind. Nevertheless, Cameron was also worried that Einherjar Wannabe might actually be a player who was owned by another organization.
Whenever players logged into PA, the system would be indicating their general whereabouts, for instance, a certain district on Earth. If Cameron could find the exact login location that matched Einherjar Wannabe’s login time and customs, Cameron might have a big chance of tracking him down.
In fact, a lot of media companies had also been asking DREAM regarding Einherjar Wannabe’s real identity. But DREAM didn’t say anything about it, not because they didn’t want to, but they were clueless as well.
Turned out Einherjar Wannabe’s IP address was untraceable. He was on Earth alright, but his location was bouncing here and there, which was something that they had never seen before. Even though Cameron had recently received the permission from DREAM’s board of directors to track Einherjar Wannabe down, it was still quite difficult judging from the latest technologies he had. Nevertheless, his technicians were now thinking of a way to solve this.
Cameron couldn’t help wondering how Einherjar Wannabe was able to log in at different locations from time to time, and he suspected that Einherjar Wannabe actually had a special team of people with advanced technologies to help him. Hence, his ID was able to bounce here and there. After all, a single person would never be able to do so. If Einherjar Wannabe did have a team to support him, that would mean that the opposing party was bigger than he could imagine, and he didn’t even dare to imagine what they were really trying to do…
The stronger and more secretive Einherjar Wannabe became, the more worried certain departments and organizations would become. Even though they didn’t do anything at this point, yet they would want an explanation from DREAM at some day for sure if Einherjar Wannabe defeated one of the successors of the Five Great Houses. However, that was unlikely to happen for the time being.
Nevertheless, when that day came, even God would not be able to answer his prayers for sure.
”Any update on the tracking?”
”Negative sir. Apparently, the opposing party is better than we expected. We couldn’t even narrow down the location with our power source tracking method. I’m afraid we’re dealing with a much bigger corporation.” One of the technicians looked startled. After all, as the company which developed PA, DREAM was armed with all sorts of advanced technologies, yet they were unable to trace Einherjar Wannabe’s whereabouts at all.
Some even wondered if he was actually a ghost that lived in the virtual world.
Meanwhile, Wang Tong was seen warming up and exercising his wrists. His opponent had to be even stronger since she was Rhin’s upperclassman. Wang Tong was fairly excited and hopeful that it would be a good match.
However, it seemed like Wang Tong didn’t notice that his Space Crystal was letting out a faint shimmering glow…
As for the shopkeeper, he was smiling happily at the counter. The golden goose had once again worked his magic and ”summoned” a bunch of customers in a blink of an eye. Even the open monitor area in his shop was fully packed with people. Those people were seen talking nonstop, and the excitement was heating up. However, the shopkeeper didn’t mind the loudness at all since the more excited they got, the thirstier they would become, and he would be able to sell more drinks tonight.
Both players showed up in the arena at 2000 hours sharp. Everyone was full of anticipation, eager to find out if Einherjar Wannabe would be able to maintain his standard in a more difficult challenge like this.
The match was about to begin, and every student from various academies was watching this match in all sorts of methods.
Everyone knew that battles in Battlecraft Combat were not for entertainment at all, yet this match had caught the interest of ton of professional players, and the spectators’ turnout was even much higher than Earth Confederation’s previous tournaments.
Apparently, everyone was here to see if Art of the Soaring Heaven was really that invincible.
In fact, a battle strategy had to be verified for its effectiveness. The stronger it was, the more complicated it would become, and more loopholes it would contain. But, if the strategy was too simple, it would become too boring and people would lose their interest.
Einherjar Wannabe and Parese were both doing their final adjustments. Their complicated hand speed exercises were more than enough to dazzle the crowd.
Finally, the match had begun!
