Chapter 1249 Did I Do Well?
Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
--------------------
Two figures who were undoubtedly powerful, appeared behind him the moment he stepped out of the structure.
“Family head, how did the negotiations go?” One of them questioned.
“He'll contact us when he acquires it,” Stark responded as they walked away together.
'I can't believe he made me decline another one,' Yuhiko stared at Gustav from the corner of her eyes with annoyance building from within her.
Currently the eight batch was ongoing. Yuhiko had been challenged again by a participant from Planet Orion this time.
Gustav made Yuhiko decline and this made it her second time. This meant that Yuhiko only had a single declining chance left and points would start getting deducted after that.
“Didn't think that dude would challenge someone else in our group after Yuhiko declined,” Teemee voiced from the side.
“And he went after Vera… tsk tsk,” Matilda shook her head in pity.
“He probably thought she was weak…” Ria chimed in.
“Vera is usually silent most of the times and can easily be unnoticeable. It is understandable why he thinks she's weak,” Aildrs stated.
“But she is gonna win… right?” Ria voiced with a slightly worried expression.
Gustav watched the ongoing battle with an observant expression as usual. Her opponent was a being with glowing silver wings and a halo floating above his radish shaped head.
A world of dense forestry surrounded them as the Orion participant sped across the air, swerving repeatedly to dodge thick vines shooting from below with speed.
These vines were each almost as thick as a grown adult with all sorts of prickly thorns surrounding them. It seemed like they could lengthen infinitely and were flexible enough to twist as well as curve in mid air to the manipulator's desire.
These vines snapped at the Orion participant repeatedly, trying swat him down from the air like a fly to no avail.
Sweeeii~ Sweeeii~ Sweeeii~
He managed to evade about four of them as he spun across the air while reaching out to grab the glowing halo floating above his head.
Vera whose body was hidden within the thickness of ths forestry below and many vines surrounding her, stretched forth her arm.
The instant she performed this action, four more thick vines shot upwards with immense speed, surrounding the Orion participant in nearly an instant.
Seeing the eight thick vines surrounding him, he flung the halo he was holding onto, causing it to spin furiously as it cut across the air with intense speed.
Thhrrriihhh~
The first two vines swatting at him were Instantly cleaved in two before they could make contact with him. Greenish liquid spurted out in a frenzy as the Orion Participant swerved to the side in the next instant, dodging the third vine that had just swerved forward.
SWWHIIII~
He spun to the side while swinging one of his hoove like legs forward.
Bang!
A forceful kick slammed into the side of the third vine, causing it to shoot forward uncontrollably.
The Orion Participant silver wings flapped intensely sending a burst of wind across the vicinity as he swept upwards with speed.
One of the vines was fast enough to follow after his ascending figure, wrapping around his foot first.
As this vine held onto him strongly, his figure uncontrollably halted in the sky. He was about to attack the vine when two others snapped from the east and west, wrapping around his figure very quickly.
“Aaahhhh!” The Orion Participant groaned as his figure got completely entagled within the massive vines that had wrapped around him.
What everyone had thought would be an easy win for the Orion Participant was starting to unexpectedly drag out and it seemed to be in the favour of Vera.
'They have no idea that this battle could be ended instantly if Vera willed it,' Gustav nearly shook his head in pity for the ignorant fools who thought Vera wae a mixedblood.
(“She is definitely the most dangerous living creature here right now,”) The system chipped in.
'I've told her to be cautious of how she uses it so she hasn't implanted in anyone in qute some time… this much is okay so long as he doesn't get close to her,' Gustav said internally as he kept his eyes on the battle.
The glow of the participant silver wings had been completely hidden within the entrapment of the vines as he struggled to free himself.
Thirrriihhh~
A loud whirring sound pierced through the air as a glowing spinning circle cut across the sky at high speed.
Cleerrrrrggghhh~
The halo cut through the thickness of three vines in the next moment, finding its way to the hand of its owner.
Ddhiinn!
The Orion participant grabbed his halo after getting a little breathing space and quickly swung upwards with speed.
Fwwhii~ Fwwhii~ fwwhii~
His hands moved very quickly as he slashed repeatedly, causing pieces of the vines to rain from the air. The instant he was freed, he swept downwards with speed.I think you should take a look at
Thrrihhhh~ Thrrihhhh~ Thrrihhhh~ Thrrihhhh~ Thrrihhhh~ Thrrihhhh~
Smaller vines shot upwards to deter him once more but his figure spun very quickly slicing every single vine that approached him into multiple pieces.
Bang!
'She is definitely in there,' He thought as he slashed his way forward quickly, ready to deal the winning blow to his opponent who had tormented him for long enough.
Swweeeii~
The glow of the spinning halo encompassed the environment as he flung it at the lasy massive tree like vegetation that stood in his path.
A sharp energy tore through the vicinity as many other trees and vines were cleaved easily without as much as a contact from the glowing halo.
“Hmm?” He exclaimed in confusion after his line of sight had been cleared of vegetation.
There was not a single person in sight like he had expected.
“No one except him is allowed to hurt me,” A soft feminine voice rang out from behind.
Pah!
The Orion participant suddenly felt a soft hand clasp onto his left shoulder causing him to wince as he tried to quickly turn around.
Unfortunately, he felt his sense of self fading as the world around him turned white.
'What is going on…?' These were his last thoughts as he fell to his knees with the hand still positioned on his left shoulder.
Waaahhhh~
The entire spectator area erupted with voices of disbelief and confusion as they stared at the girl with green and white hair standjng behind her opponent who she had subjected to his knees.
They couldn't understand what was going on as what happened next was Vera muttering some words that were too low in volume for them to hear.
-“What did she do?”
-“I have to admit, I didn't see that coming,”
-“We had such a participant? How come we never knew her capabilities till now?”
Even in the earth's spectators area, they were greatly shocked. Vera had just performed a feat that put her amongst the strongest.
A few seconds later, the orion Participant fell face flat onto the ground and passed out. It was unknown what had damage had been caused but there was no doubt that Vera had won.
< Vera (Planet Earth) Wins >
< 1100 Points Attained >
This was one of ths largest points that had been acquired since the versus battle challenge began. No one had expected Vera to win and even if she had lost, it would have only been a 600 points deduction.
Planet Orion had truly lost more than they had bargained for in this one. Vera began walking back to the earth's participants area with a straight expression while other battles continued.
-“She really won just by touching him?”
-“She definitely has a very dangerous touch,”
-“She is to be avoided in future battles,”
An obssessive smile appeared on Vera's face as she arrived at the earth's participants area.
She ignored everyone else praising her for a job well done and stood before Gustav.
“Did I do well?” She questioned with puppy eyes.
“You did a great job,” Gustav smiled while rubbing her hair affectionately.
She jumped into his embrace in the next instant giggling like her face didn't just look scary a while ago with the straight expression she initially wore.
“AHEM!” Angy grabbed Vera's hair from behind and pulled her from Gustav's embrace.

“Oh but then, wouldn't it be delusional to think you could win against an opponent that is clearly more powerful than you are?” Wong had an expression of confusion as he questioned.
“If the disparity in strength is immense then yes, but if not, then there is definitely a chance of winning. Loss or win in a battle cannot be decided by strength alone. Uncertain and unexpected factors can lead to a completely turn of events during a battle,” Gustav responded.
“Do you think you can defeat him?” Wong asked.
A smile appeared on Gustav's face after hearing this question, “I guess we'll find out soon enough,”
The group also followed side by side with Gustav as they headed towards their accommodation area.
As the participants witnessing the initial events by the side dispersed, two figure with transparent skin, green eyed and white radish shaped head, glared in the direction of the earth participants leaving.
-“We shall revenge the humiliation they brought upon my brother,”
-“That human must die by our hands,”
