Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

142 141: No Hidden Information

"PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE."

"I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE ENJOYED THE PREVIOUS NEWBIE MATCHES, WHILE SOME OF YOU DID NOT."

"BUT WHAT I CAN SAY, THEY'RE NEWBIES, YOU CAN'T EXPECT MUCH FROM THEM."

The announcer of Corey's current match spoke with a smile on his face as he floated around fifteen meters above the ground.

With a long black hair that reached his shoulders, the announcer paused and looked at the audience who had different expressions and were either looking at him or were doing their own stuffs.

Not bothered by the fact that he didn't have the entire audience's attention which was not surprising, the announcer continued speaking.

"ALTHOUGH I SAID THAT YOU CAN'T EXPECT MUCH FROM MATCHES BETWEEN NEWBIES, THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS MATCH."

"ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS OF OUR NEXT MATCH IS ONE OF OUR HOT PROSPECTS."

"HE'S THE KID WHO WAS SOME DAYS BACK, SKINNY LIKE A STICK."

"HE'S THE KID WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY CALLED THE SILENT KNEE BREAKER."

"HE IS… THEEEE SMIIILLLLEEEE REEEEAAAPPPEEEERRRR!!!!"

BAM!

As soon as the announcer finished introducing Corey, the drummers in the Amphitheatre hit their drums with a frenzied expression and the crowd starting making a cacophony of noises.

Corey who was behind the gates that led to the Amphitheatre with two tier 2 Underworld Officials behind him frowned as he heard the words of the announcer.

'I was not as thin as a stick.'

Corey thought and just as he had this thought, one of the Underworld officials behind him spoke.

"Stretch out your hands."

Corey turned to face the two underworld officials who were different from Scar and his partner.

He stretched out his hand and when he did, one of the officials brought out a black looking key and when he moved it closer to Corey's shackles, a keyhole appeared and the official placed the key inside and unlocked the shackles on Corey's wrists and ankles.

Corey rubbed his wrists as he looked at the two tier 2 Underworld Officials.

Although he knew he could most likely kill the two tier 2 officials, he knew the problems and trouble he would face after, so he ignored the two underworld officials and walked to the opening gates.

As Corey walked to the opening gates, he opened his palms downwards and as he did, two black dual battle axes appeared in his palms.

The noise, the drum beats and the loud cacophony entered Corey's ears as Corey walked to the gates with a calm expression.

A few seconds later, Corey walked out of the gate and as he did, the noise got extremely loud.

Corey looked around and for the first time, Corey noticed something which he had ignored in his previous matches.

Although the audience were making so much noise, they were not cheering his name nor were they cheering the name of his opponent whom he did not know nor did he want to know

The audience were just shouting, screaming and making whatever sound they could make with their lips, throats and whatever object was in their hands.

'This is definitely not normal.'

Corey thought with an indifferent expression.

He looked at the nearest audience to him and once again, he saw some smoking or drinking from white cups.

Corey seeing that raised his brows slightly and just as a thought was about to pass through his head, he felt slight killing intent from behind him, and without hesitation, he activated his newly created skill, Hexagon Barrier.

Clang!

"Shit."

A loud sound of two metallic objects hitting each other resounded and a subsequent groan filled with slight pain also followed.

With a calm expression, Corey turned around and when he did, he was able to see the source of the attack and the groan.

"WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE!"

"WHAT KIND OF DEFENSIVE SKILL IS THAT?!"

"DID YOU ALSO SEE THE SPEED AT WHICH THE SMILE REAPER WAS ABLE TO DEPLOY THE BARRIER?!"

"IT WAS SO FUCKING INSTANTANEOUS!"

"WHAT LEVEL OF PROFICIENCY MUST ONE NEED TO INSTANTLY USE A DEFENSIVE SKILL!"

"ALSO, THE DEFENSIVE SKILL IS EXTREMELY HARD. IT DIDN'T EVEN BREAK FROM THE SWORDSMAN OF THE WIND'S ATTACK."

The announcer exclaimed with an expression of shock, riling up the crowd in the process.

Meanwhile as Corey looked at his opponent who had quickly used a skill to instantly move far away from Corey, his opponent spoke.

"Your response is good but don't think you can win."

His opponent who was wearing an all green martial art robe spoke with a calm expression as he held a slightly long sword in both hands.

'Record'

Corey tilted his head to the left slightly and as he did, his left eye changed to rapidly changing numbers, symbols and letters.

"Oh. Care to tell me why you think I can't defeat you?"

As his left eye changed, Corey decided to reply his opponent since he needed a few seconds for Record to finish fully analyzing the man before him.

"I know you just advanced to tier 1 and I also know that you haven't bought any skill crystal from E-Underworld or any of the shops in the outer area of the city of sin."

"The only thing you did after advancing was buying a useless book from the shitty library and sleeping throughout in your house."

"Although I don't know your class, I know you can't defeat me."

"You're a fresh newbie."

Hearing the words of his opponent, Corey frowned deeply.

"How did you know?"

Corey asked with a cold tone and his opponent, the swordsman of the wind laughed with tears spilling out of his eyes.

"That's why I said you're just a fresh newbie."

"Don't you know that people can buy your information with value points."

With a smile filled with mockery and disdain, Corey's opponent spoke and Corey furrowed his brows deeply.

"Besides, your information was cheap to get."

Corey's opponent spoke with a soft chuckle but Corey didn't reply his words.

'So one can even buy somebody's information with value points.'

Corey thought as he placed his right hand on his chin.

'Also, they know that all I did was 'sleep' in my house?'

Corey thought then he looked up and his eyes went to the announcer up in the air who was now riling up the crowd by mocking him with the words his opponent said.

'So it's either they got the information from Justin… or... there are cameras in my house just like I guessed in the first place.'

Corey thought as he looked away from the announcer.

He looked at his opponent who did not attack him this time due to wariness.

'Well, it doesn't matter. I already guessed that I was been watched.'

Corey thought then he focused on the words in his left eye.
