I Am The Game's Villain Chapter 57 [Event] [Activity Clubs] [3] Skyball [3]

"Oh? Edward! I was really worried about you. I'm really relieved to see you well."

Dylan smiled at .

Obviously, none of his words were coming from his heart.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm down my desire to beat him up.

How would the Edward of the ga handle these kinds of problems?

I tried to guess how the Edward of the first ga would react.

Not the one in the second ga who was completely insane.

But the Edward of the first ga after he joined Ante-Eden. For , it was the best version of Edward.

Once I beca calm, I opened my eyes.

"I'm also glad to be back, huh… what was your na again?"

When I asked with a questioning gaze, Dylan's expression distorted.

The audience and both our teammates had an awkward look.

"My apologies. I know you are one of the guys following Miranda around like a dog, but I forgot your na."

I raised both my hands and sighed.

I could see Jayden and Tyler dumbfounded at my insolent way of speaking.

Sorry guys, but I can't 'act' like a good noble with a guy like him..

"Edward…."

Dylan's smile wasn't there anymore, much to my great pleasure.

"Where's Miranda, by the way? She's probably missing ."

I cupped my hand over my forehead, seemingly looking for Miranda.

On a side note, I already knew where she was, but since she was looking scarily at , I avoided her gaze.

"I will humiliate you here, Edward."

Dylan spat hatefully.

"L-Let's start."

Theo interrupted.

He was going to be the referee.

In his hand was a silver ball.

"Edward's team will start since they are at a disadvantage."

At least he is declaring that I am clearly at a disadvantage.

"Hmph. He could have a hundred teammates, and he wouldn't win against ."

Dylan snorted.

I ignored him and took the ball.

It was neither heavy nor light.

I played with the ball as Theo spoke about a few more details.

"I repeat, it's a friendly match."

"Why are you looking at ?"

Dylan was irritated by Theo's intense stare.

"You know why, Dylan. Rember who his father is."

"I don't have any shitty bounds with that shitty father, so you can go all out."

I cut off Theo and smiled at Dylan.

"Edward it's-"

"Referee, you are speaking too much. Look, they are getting impatient."

I pointed at the grumpy spectators.

Theo gritted his teeth and stepped back.

I smiled and stepped a few ters back.

A tiny film of my mana enveloped my palm holding the ball.

The ball could now float and wouldn't leave my grip as long as it was in contact with my palm or had my mana imprinted on it. I could easily control the ball, probably because I had great control over my mana, but the problem was my bracers and boots, which enabled to float. It was difficult to understand the chanism behind the two artifacts, so I had a hard ti moving around.

Theo raised his hand.

I enhanced all my senses and prepared myself.

My teammates, who were finally all there, did the sa, but so were already dead before even starting.

"Start!"

I put mana in my boots and jumped.

In a second, Dylan was before .

I swirled around to go past him, but with his left hand, he struck the ball out of my grip.

"Tch."

The ball flew away for a second before Tyler caught it.

My teammates rushed over, or more like floated awkwardly, and attacked him with their elents.

Seeing fire, water, and wind type attacks reaching him, Tyler smirked and raised his free hand.

"Heracles!"

Tyler's bloodline ability caused to narrow my eyes.

His legacy/ blessing was inherited from Heracles.

His strength will now increase.

The bracers on his arms shone, and a transparent do appeared around Tyler. The bracers were engraved with barrier runes. All of us could activate it but it had a cooldown of ten minutes. We could use the braces twice because we had two of them. Any elental attacks will be repelled and protected by the barrier. To cancel it, you have two choices. The first was through brute force, and the second was using his bracer to cancel another one.

"Too easy."

Dylan snickered.

I put mana in my boots and flew…or I tried.

"Fuck!"

I lost my footing and fell slowly to the ground.

If you fall to the ground, you will be penalized for two minutes.

It was my first ti wearing these boots or participating in this sport!

It was normal.

"Jayden! Here!"

Tyler dodged three of my teammates and threw the ball at Jayden.

"Gotcha!"

Jayden rose in the sky and caught the ball.

Then sparks of lightning sizzled around him.

At that mont, I knew he was going to score.

With a 'swoosh' Jayden disappeared in a trail of lightning.

A crackling sound rang out, and silence fell on the field.

"Three points for team A!"

Theo shouted.

I looked at Jayden while awkwardly regaining my balance.

This guy went through our defense, if you can call that a defense, easily and scored in the red ring.

It was the first ti for Jayden and Tyler as well, but they were clearly better at flying and dodging than .

"Ball for the B team."

I looked at the ti.

There were still five minutes.

It was a friendly match, so of course it wouldn't last an hour.

"Isn't it already settled?"

"Yeah, I don't see the B team outscoring the A team."

"Well, Dylan is on the other team after all. It's a little unfair for Edward."

As if I were the cliché protagonist, I could hear all the negative whispers.
