{They ... gave up?!} Even the narrator was amazed at the attitude of the opposing team. {This is the first time in the history of the championship that a team has just given up on winning!! What happened? What was this team thinking?! Do they have confidence that they can win now by going to the lower bracket?}

"They are stupid!

" A random man said in the stands.

"I think so. Why would anyone give up a game in that league? Isn't it better to just try one more time? The worst thing that would happen is that they lose a little time, but nothing more,

" another man said.

"Exactly! Even if Lucifer is OP, it is better to try to face him with the chance of defeat than to give up and be sure of defeat. At least they would still have a chance to win if they tried to regroup and deal with the opposing team,

" said the first man.

"But Lucifer is really very OP. I understand their side. If I were against someone so powerful, maybe I wouldn't even want to humiliate myself again.

"

"Not to mention the screams of pain they were giving, maybe they are those masochistic players who like to feel pain while playing, but the pain was so great that they couldn't take it. Very dumb.

"

"Lucifer is very incredible! Alone he eliminated the opposing team and traumatized them!!!!!

" One person screamed frantically.

The public's reactions were mixed. Some believed that the Water Dragon team was stupid, others believed that they were practical, while others didn't care about that team and just worried about Lucifer being really nice.

"That fire claw was incredible!

"

"I know, right?! I thought he only had the power to teleport, but apparently he can also control the flames to do some things. That's really cool!

"

"Is he a Blessed Rank C?

"

"I think that's unlikely. Leroy also has very powerful abilities, to the point that I don't even know which one would win, and Leroy is not even Rank C. I think Lucifer is at the peak of Rank D at most.

"

Meanwhile, the narrator of the match received very important information on his headphones.

{Guys, we received a very serious notification in that match that should be analyzed carefully. According to Water Dragon players, player Lucifer from the team From Hell is being accused of using illegal programs in his matches, better known as hacks. We will analyze and get in touch with both parties.} The narrator said in a serious voice. {Water Dragon players stated that everyone had set the pain parameter to 10-20%. The amount of pain they felt while playing did not make sense to them, which made them believe it was caused by illegal programs.}

Hearing this, the crowd was momentarily serious. To be accused of using hacks in a championship was something very serious. If this were proven to be true, the person's gaming career would be over, and their career as a Blessed would also be tainted by that person's history of cheating.

"I can't believe... is he really using a hack?

" a viewer said incredulously.

"I always knew he used hacks! He is very powerful and teleports so fast; that can only be caused by hacks!

"

"Damn, I liked Lucifer a lot, but if he really does hack I'll become his number one hater.

"

"I believe he doesn't use hacks. He never needed it before, so why would he need to use a hack to make others feel pain?

"

"This must be the freshness of the Water Dragon team. They must not have accepted their loss and looked for an excuse for it.

"

"Will we finally be able to see Lucifer's true face?

"

Noah after the match had stayed in the virtual environment with his team who were very curious about the skill he had shown. Since they almost always trained live, Noah never had a chance to show his team all the skills he possessed, not to mention that he thought it would also be so much more fun, since he was loving the expression of astonishment on their faces.

Suddenly, Noah's game displayed a notification of a message he had just received. When Noah clicked on the message to see what it was, and saw that it was a request to appear on stage to clarify doubts about a possible use of illegal programs, he was happy.

"Hehe, apparently other people found out about the Water Dragons Team's hack,

" Noah said with a satisfied expression to his teammates, while happily accepting to go on stage in person.

"Really? Hehe, I'm glad we won the match so we won't have any unnecessary problems. Are you going to show your face on stage?

" Carlos asked.

"Nah, I have a mask, I will go up using the mask to keep the mystery. In the future I will show my face.

" Noah said with a calm expression, unaware that it was he who was being accused of using a hack.

After logging out of Valorwatch, Noah put on a black fabric mask that he had bought, which only hid his mouth and nose, and prepared to go on stage. He would not wear the Hannya mask because that mask was already related to the powerful Blessed Rank C that rented imps.

{Are you saying that Lucifer was using illegal programs to do what?} The narrator asked the captain of the Water Dragon team.

{For many things. They say that a Blessing of space or time expends much more energy than a Blessing of another nature. But the way that Lucifer teleports non-stop in a battle is not understandable unless he is using a program to decrease the energy cost he has for skills, not to mention the pain those fire claws were causing us. It was physically impossible. My teammates have already been burned by real fire a few times, and they assured me that the pain they felt in the game was several times greater than a normal fire. I believe he also changed our pain meter to at least 200%.} the captain named Lance responded to the narrator as if he were being wronged. His speech was really logical, so a part of the audience that was still in doubt now came to believe that Lucifer was actually using illegal programs.

"What a disappointment. For a few days I thought he was a great player and that he could even compete outside the city, but it seems like I was wrong,

" said an indignant girl in the stands.

"True, I selected him as my idol because of how he played, but with infinite energy from a hack, even I would be able to do what he does in a game,

" this girl's boyfriend also said, very disappointed.

At that moment, while many people were disappointed, suddenly a familiar noise cheered the audience a little while making Lance's hair stand on end.

*Bamf*

With a burst of fire, someone else appeared on the stage beside the narrator and Lance.
