The AR vision activated a blue bivehee barrier that reached the sky and engulfed the entire PVP area, which meant if I contacted the barrier, I would immediately lose.
Also, those who had activated their AR vision and joined the live stream or were present within my PVP field would see the blue barrier as well as the holographic skills.
Suddenly, everyone shouted cheering on me, a few cheering on Loran. It seems like most people here still had a sense of good and right that they knew I was in the right to stand up against Loren.
But when I saw the gigantic screen about the sky, I was left with a frown as I gazed at the screen showing how many coins bet on our battle and most people here bet Loren won against me even though I heard most of their cheering was on me, damn this hypocrite bastard.... well I was going to win this fight anyways and I would take 50% of the betting money too if I won.
Immediately after the countdown reached 0, Loren's arms began to emit a blue light indicating that he had activated his modified arms. In addition, the BD chip implanted within him must also enchant his strength and agility temporarily for temporarily as well just like me.
With a snarl, he dashed forward with incredible speed as his mechanical right arms pulled back, ready to throw his punch at my face.
He shouted "Just because you are born with a tall height, fair skin and blonde hair, you think you are above everyone? Know your place, you blondie android!"
This guy projected his insecurity onto me, and it was quite hilarious.
I replied "I worked hard for this skin and athletic body."
The AR system immediately identified his punch of a force equivalence to 14,000 pounds of force which would result in my health bar being reduced to only 40 percent if he landed a hit on me, my brain and skull could be damaged.
[Private System: The system advises you to avoid the hit, you might have a broken jaw.]
"Someone stop them, if he gets hit by a modified arms, his jaw would be broken to piece!"
"Well, isn't it more interesting that way, he asked for it."
"Shit, he really ask for death!"
Shut up, you insignificant bystander who derived pleasure from the suffering of others.
Well, I didn't modify my body but I had trained my body to the point I could avoid and predict all the hits with swift movement. Therefore, I swiftly lowered my upper body as his punch went past above my head, I could feel an invisible explosion of force above my head, good thing I avoided it.
Next, I heard words swirling around me from the crowd.
"He avoids that hits...that is impossible."
"I never know such a cool guys like this blondie exist before in this cathedral, I am head over heels for him!"
"Shit, I remember it now. He is the infamous blondie that bully the son of Remington's family!"
Misinformation at its finest, It was actually him who attempted to bully me with his gang, but I managed to defeat him with assistance from my friend, Shan..
"I love baddie like him, he is my type of cool guy!"
What the fuck is this girl on about? I was trying to be a gentleman here, not the baddie like this immature kid.
Loran tried to leap back to gain a distance between me and him, but it was already too late as I summoned a holographic gauntlet onto my hand, with a shocked expression he looked at me as if he realized he had made a big mistake.
[Private System: You have activated a skill "Jack of all trades"
Foundation archetype "Boxer": Sustainable gauntlet / C tiers]
I threw my punch with the holographic gauntlet on my hand and impacted his stomach, causing him to spill a Silva from his mouth while he knocked down on his butt.
Then I stepped back and took a battle stance, Loran quickly stood up but he hadn't realized that his health bar had decreased significantly due to the effect of the gauntlet.
I saw his health bar decrease from 100 percent to 40 percent, despite the injury wasn't that much of a deal to him.
However, this was a game even if it would take place in a reality where magic didn't exist, every skill still had a great effect on the health bar.
"I let my guard down, I was thinking of truly killing you but who thought you were aiming for my health bar." Loren groaned and said.
So he tried to really murdered me, is this guys insane?
Perhaps he thought he had figured out my plan but it was just my first step to let him put his guard up even more, therefore he would be doubtful whenever he attacked me.
He still didn't realize that I had all the basic skills of the foundation archetype which I could use in different circumstances.
He took a deep breath and once again charged at me, he swung his left punch at my face, but I narrowly avoided it, and then he stepped forward and jumped to thrust his punch from above, I also leaped backward to avoid it causing his punch to impact with the ground, shattering it.
His mechanical arm seemed to be a problem at the moment, he knew he must use it to his advantage as long as he didn't expose an open vulnerable spot to me, I wouldn't have the chance to attack either.
Right then he smiled and summoned a holographic flame to engulf his mechanical arms.
"Let's end this once and for all," Loran said with a wide grin.
In a split second, he disappeared and appeared before me with incredible speed, now I realized his archetype would probably be a magician since he would boost his status and even use elementary magic.
Even I could use battle armor in real life, but since it was still just a holographic one, therefore getting hit by his mechanical arms would result in me sustaining heavy damage, the protection of the shield had no impact in the real world.
Nonetheless, I summoned it as holographic armor began to construct around my body, Loren was looking with surprise but he continued to kick me, I used both of my arms to deflect his kick. But then he punched from the left, I anticipated his punch beforehand and was able to lean backward and avoid it.
As his punch traveled passed before my eyes, it generated such a strong force that almost made me collapse on the ground. However, I managed to take a balanced stance yet another attack swirling from the right side caused me to flinch back his hand but it was too late as he struck my arms. Fortunately, I knew how to relax my arms and moved with the pattern to only slightly absorb the impact.
The holographic armor disappeared and I got a minor injury on my arms, my health decreased from 100 percent to 80 percent due to the armor protecting me even though I got more injury than him.
My arms became stiff and numb from absorbing the impact of his attack, but it wasn't a big deal. As long as I could still use my leg, and fortunately, none of my bones was broken either.
He grits his teeth as if he is disappointed to see my health only decrease this much, he once again charges at me, this time he moves left and right making it difficult to pinpoint where his next attack would land.

Archetype warrior's skill: Endurance Sword / C tiers]
Since I had a mid-term exam today, it would be wise to end this match once and for all. Now it was time for me to surprise him as I summoned a holographic sword, though it didn't have a real impact in real life it could give a real sensation of being struck by a wooden sword and it felt like I did grab a real sword.
The crowd immediately cheered as they knew this match was over to begin with, as I slashed my sword on his head while leaping backward to avoid his attack that narrowly missed me. As soon as I landed on the ground, Loren stood still with a dumbfounded expression.
At that moment the health bar above his head reached 0 percent followed by a giant screen that appeared above us.
[Winner : Einsamer Stern
Reward : 5000 coins + 50 % profits from the winner of the bet = 40750 coins]
Damn, 40750! This would be enough for me to eat like a king for 2 months! Moreover, It seems like most people were present here bet 500 coins as well so I guess around 150 to 200 people were present here. This must be the most viewed PVP battle in the cathedral up to in history.
At that instant I heard many people cheering, few people also looked frustrated and disappointed. However, from a far distance, on the top floor of the cathedral where a huge window could be seen of where the high-saintess resided, I felt like someone was watching me, perhaps this was my imagination. Since the glass was pitch black, I couldn't tell as well.
I turned my glance from the cathedral to Loren who mumbled something then he turned to me and raised his voice in an angry tone.
"You are cheating! How can you use two different skills from different archetypes!"
I smirk and shrug "Who knows!"
Out of nowhere, Loren leaped at me with killing intention visible in his eyes. Damn, this bastard let his pride overtake his common sense, a pure psychopath!
But it was all in vain as the Bio-Data-Chip within his body immediately paralyzed his body causing his body to shake violently and him completely collapsed onto the ground due to him breaking the golden rules.
"Fuck, don't think you can get away with this!"
Suddenly, a few people from the crowd shouted and many people suddenly continued their walk trying to avoid something.
"The cathedral's security guards is coming!"
At the same time, I could feel a strong wind breezing through me from above making my hair swirling through the wind. When I looked up to find the source of what generated this wind, I saw a flying mid-side SUV hovering about me and gradually descending and landing a few meters from where Loran lay down.
Then the rear doors slid open revealing a figure of a beautiful mature girl in her 20s wearing a tight white dress that faintly showed her neck and shoulder beneath a black fabric that wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair was tied up neatly in a bun with the front bang covering her eyebrows, she stepped outside the vehicle and briefly looked at Loren then she continued to walk toward me, she was none other than Sister Hannah.
At the same time, two security guards from the front door also exited the vehicle with black armor and helmets clad in pitch black, they carried Loran on their back and put him into the cargo space of the vehicle.
Tiana and her friends ran to stop the security guards but sister Hannah said in a calm yet commanded tone "You know the rule of the cathedral, if you break it, the cathedral will no longer accept your presence here and all your allowance will be exterminated."
Upon hearing her warning, Tiana and her friends stepped back with fearful eyes and ceased to stop Loren, while he continued to mumbled and said many cursing words.
After she stopped these troublesome girls, Sister Hannah then turned to me with a disappointed face.
"You never caused trouble before but the rule is the rule, Einsamer. If you ever cause trouble once again, I will send you to the Eastern orphanage dorm." Her rigid voice could be heard.
Meanwhile, the fat girl beside me came forward and said in a rushed tone "But sister... He helped me."
Sister Hannah then turned to look at the fat girl who stood beside me, it seemed like she was examining her clothes then she said "Kirana, turn around."
The fat girl whose name was Kirana turned around, and revealed wet clothes as well as a wet ponytail.
"I see, so you get bullied by Tiana?" Sister Hannah said in a slightly angry tone.
Kirana just nodded her head without saying a word, sister Hannah seemed pretty furious after learning Kirana got bullied since the cathedral prohibited any kind of abusive and toxic behavior.
Hannah turned to Tiana and her friend, then she said in a loud tone that wasn't too aggressive but it was still loud enough to make them startled.
"From now on, you are going to live in the eastern orphanage." Her voice is rigid.
There was a moment of silence coming from these girls like their brain was processing something.
Hannah once again raised her voice "Do you understand?"
These girls just nodded their heads and continued their walk while looking back once in a while then they continued their walking at a fast pace until they were gone from my sight.
The strict and fearsome lady turned to me and said "You can go now, and remember to follow the rule. If you break it one more time, you will be punished."
I sighed and lightly nodded my head to her statement, from now on I guess I would stay in a low profile. Also, why is today I get into many problems that seem like to put my life at risk....!
The fat girl, Kirana raised her timid voice with a smile as she handed me my backpack "I am thankful for your help, I am forever in your debt."
I took my backpack from her, wore it, and told her with a serious tone "Next time don't try to fit in, just be yourself and the right people will find you."
Suddenly, upon hearing my statement, it seemed like there was a flickering light from her, then she smiled at me and just bowed at me, then she turned her back and ran back to the dorm, perhaps she was trying to change her clothes since her clothes were soaked.
As for the bags of those girls, they just scattered onto the ground. Well, it wasn't my concern, so I just continued my walk to school, since there were much bigger things to think about right now, the unconscious players from the explosion in the game who were unable to wake up from the games and my midterm exam which I must pass.
