Aero Afforestation A big cyan text pops up beside of the opponent’s body.

Achievement Complete: Windy Forest Restorer

After the elemental reaction, Raymond stumbled on the floor with a weakened body. He still getting a passive HP reduction from it.

1,500/18,800 HP

Debuff: Afforestation 30s (-10HP/s)

Eichi looks back to confront the six members who don’t fight. “This is not a cinema, cmmon, fight them!”

“Let’s leave this party. Our leader is such a childish jerk!” The four members of the team left. 4 members left in the party.

“We will remain on the team and fight these terrorists. I don’t care if the leader is a jerk as much as he is contributing to the team fight.”

“See? Your HP is now 75% because of his mediocre buff. It buffs your atk, but it can kill you because of the HP drain.”

“That’s why healing foods exist! Get lost if you don’t want to help us to fight the opposing clan.”

The two members retrieve a one stick of Dango from the system inventory. They eat it and got their HP healed to the max.

These strangers have an ancient cosplay costume. It symbolizes the power of archery. They have a short cropped masculine hair and a generic male bangs style.

There are only four members remaining on the team. These members are Eichi, Aiban and the two strangers with a Freshwater and Ocean element.

“Attack!” the entire team shouts.

*My buff skill is running out, I need to renew it!

Eichi re-cast the skill he used before to buff the whole ally team and draining their HP in exchange.

The two strangers in the team retrieve a four-star and level 70 bow as their weapon.

Type: Bow Name: Wildhunter Bow

“Bro, the buff that forest-wielder guy gave to us includes an elemental effect on our attacks.”

“Let’s do this! I’m not a big fan of theory crafting and I’m excited to see the combination of these elements.”

Eichi shouts to all audiences with a serious tone in his voice. “This is an order! Flee the convention venue right now through the fire exit. For those who don’t accept my order, I will request to the organizer to ban you from attending cosplay conventions!”

Some audiences get lost while some curious-minded person ignored his order. This situation makes Eichi lost his temper. His hands are shaking out of frustration.

He pulled the fire alarm beside him to force all the cosplayers to escape to the fire exit before continuing the heated battle. “Do you want to commit suicide? Stay here and ignore the alarm. Be sure to buy a life insurance first before you decide to stay in this dangerous place!”

A flicking emergency light and an adrenaline boosting sound of a fire alarm have surrounded the whole venue. The other cosplayers, upon hearing the fire alarm activate, sprinted to the fire exit to leave the venue.

Because of the frightening nature of the alarm, the whole place has turned into a chaos of people screaming out loud and some of them are having an anxiety attack.

Eichi’s action of pulling the switch is both curse and a blessing moment. While it brings fear to the public, it encouraged them to flee for their own safety.

During this time, the team Aiban and Ignition clan, are the remaining persons in the venue.

“My bro, let’s do this exciting attack! Prepare our bow and let’s see on how weak are terrorists!” The ocean element wielder guy said.

The Ocean wielder pulled his bow, aiming for the fifth member of the Ignition clan. While the tundra one aims to the 4th member.

“This guy is my childhood bully named Allen and besides him is his drop-out friend named Reinberson. I see his as a desert wielder and I think his behavior is hotter than that biome.” The ocean user guy smiled while his eyes were sharp.

“Forget about these childhood traumas. We are in the jeopardizing situation.” Tundra's user said.

What’s in the world? Some of the member’s element is not applied on their own body. My brain is going to explode! This elemental system is just made for nerds! That means his desert element would not affect my Ocean applied attack?

As the injured Raymond saw the upcoming attack on his comrades, he attempts to open the inventory.

A few moments, the arrow flies toward to the target. Raymond managed to get a portable shield. Despite of his weakness, his adrenaline rushing through his head pushed him to summon the shield in order to negate the flying arrow.

A big green text saying “Photosynthesis” appeared besides of the fifth ignition clan member. While the fourth member has a grey text saying “Neutral”.

Oh, that make sense. Forest and Tundra are the best friends in life science. I’m such a loser here, but at least I dealt with some physical damage.

Allen got a strong knock back from the attack. He dealt 45% of his HP from the photosynthesis reaction, leaving him speechless. While Reinberson dealt only 30% of his HP as damage.

Besides of the member that got affected by the photosynthesis, a three cute and innocent-looking dandelion appears beside of him.

“H-How? Raymond shielded my comrades, but the arrow pierce through it. Where’s the bug report button on this AR system?” The second member shouts to the system interface while he is kicking the floor like a toddler.

Eichi raised the side of his mouth in the sharpest way. “I said, don’t underestimate my cosplay costume. Even before this FCI thing came out, this thing is my love of my life.”

He walks forward to the ignition clan’s position. “In addition, why you don’t check on how your opponent’s skills work using the system?”

The second member of the Ignition clan is clenching his fists, looking at Eichi with a shallow breathing.

“Don’t let your ego takes your life. I’m not going to insult your love of my life thing. But take this one!”

The opponent raised his clenched fists at Eichi. “Domination Punch!”

Tundra Element applied to Eichi

Eichi is still thinking about his cosplay costume, thus lowering his guard down. After some milliseconds, he saw a flying fists collides on his face.

“URGH!” Eichi felt a strong hard pain from his back accompanied by a loud sound of broken wall. A blood came out from his mouth. He just saw himself sitting on the floor and a cracked wall behind him. His body trembles from the pain.

HP: 10,000/14,000

“Be thankful that you won’t hurt my costume or I would put you to the psych ward!” He wiped the sticky red liquid from his mouth.

The opponent goes forward to confront Eichi and laughs while he is scratching his head. “You’re the one who should be admitted to the psych ward. Imagine, you’re at the point that you’re planning to marry your cosplay costume!”

Eichi looks at the opponent with a strong determination. “Who dare you to stalk my social media account?”

During the heated battle, Eichi saw the two strangers eating a random food from their inventory. His ears are trembling at hearing the loud chewing noise.

“Hey! This is not a mukbang show!”

The two guys speak out loud. “Why are we doing some mukbang? Because of the HP drain that your awkward costume doing to us!”

Eichi stands out with a prominent vein from his diamond-like fist. His nose is releasing a hot breath and his face is going to explode.

Not again, my friend!

“You better to watch your dirty mouth! You don’t have a rights to criticize the ability of my love! I would splash a mouthwash to your fa...”

As Eichi is talking like a child, his face got shot by a big bow arrow from the ocean-wielder, which is the first member of the Ignition clan. Aiban attempts to block out the attack using his sword but the clan puts a shield, thus making Aiban’s defensive attack useless

Freeze

His body is in the hopeless situation. He is trying to speak his grievance, but no voice is coming out. His attempt to move his body is just a disappointment.

“Now, you got immobilized by our strategy, uh! We can now fight without this immature brat.”

Aiban looks back, and he dashed to the second member. The target is still looking at Eichi, laughing out loud without guarding himself from the ambush. “The tundra holder bow user, attack the guy who froze Eichi!”

“I hear you!”

He leaps out with his sword and pierces the sword into the opponent. “Elemental Burst: Samurai Premium Slash!”

Critical Sword Hit

Critical Bow Hit

Food recovers Raymond’s body. 30% healed his HP, and he stands. “Nice job, Aiban!”

He looks to Raymond with a strong bitterness from his soul. This won’t go unpunished! You are raiding a random cosplayer like me for your own financial gain. You stole my cosplay costume, which is the last gift from my father that died from the experimentation of your predatory company.”

Raymond laughs at Crisostomo while he is holding his tummy. “So, the saying that best friends has a same personality is true! You’re both crying out loud for just a piece of fabrics.”

“You won’t even know on how painful is to lose your father. That piece of fabrics that you are talking about is where the soul of my father is living. That’s the last gift he gave to me before he attempts to volunteer to your dangerous human trial of brain-enabled AR technology.” Aiban’s tears are dropping to his cheeks, cherishing the memories from his father.

“In addition, I’m doing this to avenge my father. This is not just a mission to retrieve the lost fabrics, but to get the right justice that our legal system cannot provide to non fortunate person “

Raymond’s mind froze on what he heard. During the conversation, he steps forward and stepped on the dandelion.

Afforestation

Achievement Complete: Down Three! A system notification appears to Eichi’s face while he is still in frozen status. The same pop up also happens to the ocean-wielder ally.

They took down Raymond, Alen, and Rainberson at the same time. The cute dandelion from the photosynthesis elemental reaction explodes as Raymond steps on it.

All the defeated members have turned to a dog tag.

A dog tag? Uh, the opponent’s ally should get this thing and tap it on their cosplay costume to revive the defeated team mate. That’s the tutorial said when I read it before. The thoughts of ocean-wielder ally said.

“Should we collect the dog tags, so the enemy would never respawn?”

The surviving one member of Ignition clan grabs a gadget from his inventory. Holding the gadget in his hand, he raised it and all the dog tags teleported to him.

“We will see in the future. This is just a battle trial!” He said while playing with the tags.

After a while, the remaining member used a map and teleports to the nearest street waypoint. The ally team doesn’t get a chance to chase the remaining opponent.
