29 Rank Match Beatrice VS Pedro Part 1 (1/2)
”Him? Aunt's apprentice?! You've got to be kidding me!” Beatrice became more irritated.
”We are not lying!” Joshua defended.
”Why don't you ask her personally?” Carlos was about to lose his temper so he decided to walk away and ignore Beatrice.
”Mister! aren't you gonna choose your room?” Carlos called Pedro to avoid a heated discussion that may lead to an unwanted outcome.
”Of course!” Pedro replied, he then bowed slightly to Beatrice and said ”Nice to meet you!” and left.
”Goodnight Beatrice!” Joshua wave like a giant innocent child.
'It's not right... Even, I... the sole personnel recruited a year ago... was not even taken by Aunt Soledad as her apprentice... So... who is that man? and... what is with him? Is he some kind of royalty? No... It must not be... Aunt is well connected to many royal families... of all of those of the same age as me and belongs to a royal family, only me was recruited because of my defensive and healing capabilities!' Beatrice cannot believe what she just heard. Considering the high standards of her ”Aunt” Soledad, Where even herself, an heir of a royal family and the one with the most potent abilities in their kingdom, didn't even become her apprentice.
”Hold up!” Beatrice called to the three before Carlos could open the door of KBR-206.
”What's the matter?” Carlos complained in a heavy voice.
”If you really are Aunt's apprentice... At the least show me your strength! I challenge you to a rank match!” Beatrice challenge Pedro a rank match. A rank match was a battle between two BHO Personnel or official.
This was only known to the players who became members of BHO in Pedro's past life hence he didn't have information about it. It was only rumored that this was a way to increase one's rank in BHO. Some players tried to challenge a BHO NPC in his past life but the NPCs just laughed at them.
”Beatrice! That's enough!” Carlos complained wearing a worried expression. 'If things got out of hand, It will all fall into my responsibility... Surely, Vicealmirante Soledad, won't let me off the hook that easy!'
”Stay out of this Carlos! I just wanted to know his strength... that's all! I mean... If he's gonna join us, He should at least put up a fight!” Beatrice was already determined to her words and challenge, besides, it would be a blow to her pride as someone from a royal family if she would turn back on it.
Meanwhile...
Unfortunately, to the randomly generated things he got, there was of 0.000099 percent chance to get them again. (In short, It's close to ”Impossible”.)
Still, he can't ignore the ten percent chance of him not triggering it again. Hence, he decided to know more information to serve as a back up for him to enter the BHO. With him entering BHO, he could at the least find Madame Soledad again and somehow gain talent and become a skill-maker.
...
”If agreeing with the so-called rank match would solve this conflict... then I accept your challenge!” Pedro had a bit of confidence in his self. Although he is only level 1, his sword's level was already at level 8. It increased its level when he got experience from the monsters he and Madame Soledad fought together.
Other than that, Since he is still level 1, his undying cycle was still a godly trump card. Adding his new skill, 'might of pain', and the 937 intermediate potions left, he had confidence in defeating her.
'Let's see where your pride will go after this match! Hahaha! All I need to do is openly welcome and gladly accept any damage you would give! ... Wait... am I becoming a masochist?' He thought inwardly with confidence.
”Mister...” Carlos facepalmed his self after hearing Pedro agreed to the challenge. 'I'm dead... My execution is already scheduled!'.
”State your rules!”
'???' Pedro was confused when Beatrice asked him about the rules.
”What are you staring at? Tell them now! quickly!” Beatrice rushed Pedro as she started to become irritated again.
”Beatrice... I think he doesn't know what you meant by rules!” Joshua who was observing calmly finally spoke.
