Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 691

Chapter 691: A Taste of One’s Own Medicine
As Harry and David’s battle concluded in a draw, Valenzia’s record now stands at four wins and one loss, causing them to drop to second place. Meanwhile, the third-ranked Region, Fanfir, claimed the top spot with an undefeated record of four wins and no losses.

However, no one was impressed with how they achieved it, as they consistently avoided challenges from the higher-ranked Deltra, accepting only matches from the fourth-ranked Chellionne Region and lower.

Additionally, whenever it was their turn to issue a challenge, they targeted either the Kreborians or the Raumannians.

Their strategy for securing first place was simply far too lame.

It was difficult to fault them, though, as this was the first time the Yon Augennians had shown a vulnerability that Fanfir could exploit.

Meanwhile, the second-ranked Deltra region had already suffered one loss, making it unlikely for them to overtake the Yon Augennians again.

This was Fanfir’s golden opportunity to seize the top spot and claim the generous first-place rewards.

In the fourth round of matches, a warrior from the said region was challenged by another warrior from the Chellionne Region, as they did not fancy their rivals sitting at the top spot.

They were eager to ruin Fanfir’s chances.

Unfortunately, the Chellionnian warrior lost narrowly, giving yet another win to their rivals, who now had five wins and zero losses.

Everything was going smoothly for Fanfir.

To make things even better for them, when their turn came, Fanfir’s mage challenged a mage from the sixth-ranked Hakk’Shatta region.

The Hakk’Shattans were known for their respectable skill, a fact even the Deltrans and Yon Augennians acknowledged.

This instilled a deep sense of pride among their citizens—though they were considered mediocre compared to the higher-ranked regions, it was ingrained in them that they weren’t pushovers like the Kreborians and Valenzians.

Thus, Fanfir’s challenge didn’t sit well with them.

Did those bastards really think that they, the Hakk’Shattans, were equivalent to a free win?

They believed otherwise!

This was why they took the bait and accepted the challenge, only to lose in the end.

The abilities of their young, inter-regionally renowned mage, Harrison Potterson, had been meticulously studied and exploited, leading to his devastating defeat.

His pride was shattered into a million pieces, never to recover to what it once was.

What sealed his fate was the ridicule from the youths of both Fanfir and Weaven—their rival region ranked fifth.

They laughed and mocked him mercilessly, tearing him down with insults about how his reputation had far outstripped his actual abilities, and other similar taunts.

Naturally, Shye, Shirley, and the others from Valenzia frowned at the ruthless behavior of the youngsters.

A determination to stop Fanfir from winning at all costs took root in their hearts, convinced that such cold-hearted bastards didn’t deserve the rich rewards.

Hence, Lesurii tried to challenge someone from Fanfir, hoping to hand them their first loss.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the shamelessness of the Fanfirians.

It was quite common knowledge that scouts were strong duelists. Hence, they didn’t accept Lesurii’s challenge, forcing her to pick a target from another region.

The Deltrans tried to shame the Fanfir Region youngsters for it.

However, with six wins and zero losses, the Fanfirians were reminded that the top prize was within their reach, and there was no reason to be baited by the other regions’ obvious taunts.

They needed to stay focused on their plan, shameless as it might be.

Even the Yon Augennians couldn’t help but clench their fists in frustration, pushing their minds to the limit in search of a solution.

Fortunately, they came up with a plan, but it required cooperation from the youngsters of other regions.

Since the youths of the Fanfir Region were steadfast in acting shamelessly, the Yon Augennians and the Deltrans would naturally match them.

“Everyone! These cowards from Fanfir are dodging challenges from higher-ranked regions and only targeting the lower-ranked ones to achieve a final record of ten wins and zero losses, making them the champions!” a youth from Yon Augenni shouted, capturing everyone’s attention.

The Fanfir Region’s old director was naturally infuriated.

However, he was aware that he lacked the moral high ground, so he refrained from reprimanding the young Yon Augennians, especially since he was certain that the directors of most regions disapproved of their shameless tactics to secure first place.

He would simply be inviting humiliation upon himself should he choose to speak up.

Luckily for him, there was an extremely shameless one in his youth representative roster.

“Hmph, what are you trying to say? Isn’t it just because we’re smarter than you that we find ourselves in this position? If you’re calling us cowards for choosing the easy route, then we’ll just call you guys foolish!” A young man from Fanfir retorted, standing proudly.

Unfortunately, he was not as smart as he thought he was, falling right into the Yon Augennian youngster’s trap.

“Hahahaha! So you’re calling us dumb for not having a shameless tactic, huh? Fine then, listen carefully.” The youth from Yon Augenn said with a playful smile, shifting his attention to those from other regions. “Since this Fanfirian is calling all of us dumb, then let’s prove him otherwise, what do you guys say?”

After a brief pause to see if the youngsters from other regions were in agreement, the young Yon Augennian continued.

“It’s simple, really. Those from Chellionne and below should fight among yourselves and challenge each other. Don’t accept any challenges from these cowardly Fanfirians; leave them to us. Eventually, they’ll run out of opponents to challenge and have no choice but to face us, the youth representatives of Deltra and Yon Augenn. If you follow the plan, we promise to deliver a satisfying conclusion. I just don’t believe a region should be called a champion when all they do is avoid strong opponents.”

Upon hearing the Yon Augennians’ plan, the Fanfirians went pale, while the directors, Shye, and the other youth representatives smiled—some with wicked delight, others in cheerful agreement.

The young Fanfirian could do nothing but clench his fists in frustration and humiliation.

Since he acknowledged that there was nothing wrong with shameless tactics, he would only embarrass himself by accusing the Yon Augennians of playing dirty.

The Fanfirians had simply gotten what they deserved and were experiencing a taste of their own medicine.
