Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_
With the score evened out at two to two, Karl conceded that regardless of the outcome of the final fight, he would be able to walk away from the tournament without any regret.
Although Lola was still very young, she was already one of the instructors at the Starry academy. Therefore, she felt there was no need to dwell on the loss or gain of one game. Her lack of interest in the outcome also stemmed out from her indifferent personality that was the defining character of Kaedeians.
The fifth and the final round was about to start.
Lola went into the fight with determination, as she was confident that her superior skills and ability would be able to overcome Karl's strange fighting style.
At the beginning of the battle, Karl had surprised everyone again by using the Art of Kale after it had failed him twice.
Karl's mind was filled with resolution, and his increased willpower seemed to have enhanced his performance, as it turned into the best execution of the Art of Karl the audiences had ever seen.
Marveling at Karl's ability, everyone thought that he was born to be a fleet commander.
Karl's sudden change in strategy had caught Lola by surprise. When Lola finally noticed the difference, it was already too late as Lola had already invested heavily in preparing for an entirely different game.
”Everyone, this is going to become Karl's one-man show.” The host announced.
As Karl started the final attack, unleashing the power of the Art of Kyle, he seemed to have fallen into a battle trance.
His harassment came from all directions, and even Lola's insane AMP wouldn't stop her defense from crumbling.
”This is turning into a demonstration of how to execute the Art of Kyle!”
”Perfect, just...perfect!”
The hosts could not find any better words to describe Karl's ability.
A few minutes later, Lola was still struggling to defend her base. If it were anyone else, the battle should have already ended the second Karl had unleashed the final attack. However, Karl's reinforcements kept on coming to the front line, and soon, Lola found herself defending against an invading army that was twice the size of her defensive force.
Everyone could tell that Lola didn't want to give up, and they understood why. As the last hope of the Kaedeians, she couldn't give up without having exhausted her resources.
”WINNER is —KARL!” The host finally shouted after the Kaedeian's last unit was destroyed by Karl.
Karl stood up slowly. As everyone thought he was going to shout, he kept quiet and gave himself a thumb up and then announced, ”I —AM—KARL!”
His words filled all earthlings with immense pride. Karl had transformed from a no-account to the superstar of the fleet battle, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon to embrace a new life.
After seeing such a provocative pose, many of Karl's female fans fainted immediately.
The moment Lola conceded her defeat, she also realized that although the earthlings were imperfect, they were the most creative ones.
This match started out as the most boring one among the quarterfinal matches. However, it had by then become one of the most enthralling fights to watch. A superstar was born in this game, and his name was Karl.
Cheers could be heard at every corner of the earth as people were elated by Karl's victory. At Bernabeu, students found it hard to make the connection between the fledgling they saw only months ago with the confident, super commander on the screen.
Kal watched the screen with gloomy eyes. He had trained hard ever since he had lost the match with Karl, and dreamed of eventually defeating Karl and becoming the only K that people know of. However, Karl's performance had shattered his dream.
Bisu patted Kal on the shoulder and said, ”There are many other things you could be better at than him. He is born to be a fleet commander, and there is no point competing against him. ”
Team-Earthling had unprecedentedly gained three seats at the semi-final, which belonged to Flash, Wang Tong, and Karl.
The strong suits of the three didn't overlap, as everyone excelled at one unique aspect of fleet combat. This year of fleet combat undoubtedly belonged to the earthlings.
