Chapter 634 Comparable to Top-Class
His voice prompted the screen to change perspective and show the balcony where the rest of the Level 3s were watching with the Apollo Familia captain. Just a little bit behind them was Kisuke with a white fan covering half of his face.
"But the bigger question is, why isn\'t he doing anything!? He could\'ve ended this game if he were to take out the enemy Familia\'s Captain!", added Ibri, while those who bet on the Apollo Familia\'s win couldn\'t help but wail in despair.
Apollo and his allies, meanwhile, almost had a heart attack with the former shouting, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HYAKINTHOS!?"
His allies also did the same, calling out to their respective children in panic.
Seeing this, Loki couldn\'t help but laugh loud and pointed out, "Idiots! There\'s no way they can hear you! You should start thinking about how you\'ll pack your things up!"
They shuddered and paled when they heard that, but they had nothing to refute it.
When they thought that everything was already just a matter of time, Aika suddenly pointed her sword towards Kisuke and started complaining, "Oi, Captain! Until when are you going to watch without helping!?"
Silence then ensued as Hyakinthos and the others with him turned towards Kisuke and instantly lashed out once he came into their view. Kisuke dodged by jumping backward, going further inside the castle.
"Fuhahahaha! I didn\'t know your child was this stupid! Now I don\'t know if I still want her!" Apollo celebrated at Aika\'s \'blunder\' and heaved a large sigh of relief.
Those who were watching in the plaza were also having similar reactions while some were disappointed at the wasted chance. Although they didn\'t know how Kisuke got up there without being detected, now that he was detected, he would have to fight his way through to escape. But once he was defeated here, it\'d be the Apollo Familia\'s win.
As if nothing had happened, Aika went back to fending off her assailants while complaining, "Really... Until when will he keep watching?"
"Kisuke-senpai just probably wanted to see our progress.", replied Koneko.
But suddenly, one of their opponents started speaking, "You really are dumb. If you hadn\'t pointed out his position, he could have silently taken out Hyakinthos and won the game. Too bad, it\'s already too late for that."
From the back of his head, the shaft of a halberd hit him, making him eat the ground, "That doesn\'t really matter. The end result will be the same no matter whether he did it secretly or overtly.", Sona\'s voice came.
"What do you mean?", asked one of the curious enemies, thinking that their captain set up a trap somewhere.
"Because even if the five of us went against him at once, we have no way of winning.", replied Sona with a harrumph.

Everyone\'s focus was now on Kisuke, a Level 2, being surrounded by 10 Level 3s, including Hyakinthos, "You made me worry for a bit there, but now I can end this game. Blame it on that stupid woman of yours who ratted you out."
Kisuke\'s smile didn\'t disappear and just said, "Oya? You\'re already assuming that you can take me out? Are you a prophet or something? If so, what are you doing in such a low-ranking Familia? You deserve at the least a rank B~!"
"Low ranking?", muttered Hyakinthos as a vein popped on his head. These people from the Hestia Familia were really infuriating him to no end today, was what he thought as he commanded coldly, "Kill him."
Without any words, three people instantly rushed out and attacked Kisuke.
"My~ How violent~! Whatever did I do to deserve such treatment?", asked Kisuke casually, but received no reply.
"A grave situation for the Captain of the Hestia Familia! And it seems like they\'re aiming for the kill! Although is very much frowned upon and the backlash from the public will be immense, if not specifically mentioned, killing isn\'t prohibited! How will he escape this situation!? Winning this game should be the least of his worries now!", exclaimed Ibri to the audience with a grave tone. He didn\'t like the ruthlessness that Hyakinthos was showing.
The few people who knew them like some merchants and peddlers paled at the situation, praying that Kisuke would just surrender to save his life and closed their eyes, not wanting to see a bloody ending.
But no matter how long they waited, neither came the announcement for surrender, nor the notice of victory. As they looked up again, they were shocked to see that Kisuke was seemingly dodging his opponents without much effort at all.
"What are you doing!?", shouted Hyakinthos in impatience.
But one of the attackers turned towards him and shouted back in anger, "Why don\'t you attack too!? This bastard is too strange! He\'s reading and dodging all of our attacks as if he has eyes in the back of his head!"
Hyakinthos gritted his teeth and signaled to the rest, "Go! Take him out and finish this nonsense!"
Everyone but Hyakinthos started assaulting Kisuke. Although Hyakinthos was prideful, he still wouldn\'t risk going himself as he was afraid that Kisuke had something that could instantly take him out. As long as he was conscious, it\'d be their win.
However, no matter how much time passed, the results were still the same as Kisuke kept dodging all of their attacks, including magic. They tried using binding magic but it would seemingly fail and would only consume the Magic Power of the user without even activating.
Although this mystery was bugging them, it could be attributed to some unknown skill that rendered control magic ineffective. What was really bothering and scaring them right now, however, was the fact that Kisuke wasn\'t moving any faster than them, so they were all confused on how they hadn\'t landed a single attack on him yet, despite having nine people, who were clearly stronger than he was, going after him.
\'What\'s going on!?\', asked all of them inside their heads while fear started forming inside them. It was as if the person in front of them was not a real person, but a ghost. No matter what they did, they couldn\'t even touch him, \'What the hell is going on!?\'
The same was happening with the people watching in Orario, they were asking what was going on, "S-Shakti-sama! Please explain!"
Shakti herself was making a difficult expression as she answered, "...He\'s predicting all of their movements and evading them in advance? If not that, then I don\'t know what\'s going on. But there\'s one thing I can be sure of."
"W-what is it?"
"That\'s not something a normal Level 2 could pull off. From my observation of his movements, his parameters were well within the range of a Level 2, however, his fighting skills are even beyond mine."
Ibri accidentally dropped his mic after hearing that and asked for confirmation, "W-what do you mean by that, Shakti-sama?"
Before speaking, Shakti picked up the mic and used it, "In other words, I would describe him as a First-Class Adventurer in the body of a Third-Class Adventurer."
But the real First-Class Adventurers, including herself, thought that her words were an understatement. Even among the top Adventurers, they couldn\'t think of anyone who could rival his \'prediction\', maybe aside from Ottar, the King and Finn, the Brave.
