[Achievement Reward: Professional Commentator
How can a Professional Commentator wrong and lose? Third-rate commentators tell everyone what just happened, second-rate commentators explain what is happening now, first-rate commentators predict the upcoming direction, while the true commentators tell everyone what they want the match to unfold as.
They have already used their experiences to show people that they can steer the match in the direction they desire. With similar experiences, you have gained their recognition!
From now on, in battles you do not participate in, you can manipulate them!
We solemnly promise never to manipulate the match - A Certain Professional Commentator]
[This active skill conflicts with prerequisite skills. According to priority, this skill takes precedence.]
'So, this is why I can speak again!? And the dialogue board in my left hand is also gone; it should only appear when the skill is activated.'
Looking up, the massive body of the dragon was slowly toppling to the side. As its enormous body hit the ground, it created a shockwave that sent Altair's bangs flying straight up.
Meanwhile, Bete also fell from mid-air, landing on one knee, his body still wrapped in crimson light. His Demon Wolf form had not yet dissipated, but his heavy breathing showed he was currently under immense strain.
"Bete-san!"
Lefiya looked at Bete with some concern, as Bete, under the writhing red light, was covered in wounds that made him look like he was splitting apart, with streams of blood slowly oozing from the openings.
"How are you!"
Bete slowly stood up from his crouched position and turned to Altair, grinning with bloodied teeth, his face full of pride.
"Calm, my kick is powerful!"
As an idol, Bete had truly proven himself in front of his fans, and he was now brimming with confidence!
'That guy named Grey Wolf, didn't you say I would be a Demon Wolf with a single kick and kick the floor boss to death? Well, now I've done it!'
"This is the legendary One Kick Asura, as expected of Bete-san, truly amazing!"
Altair enthusiastically applauded, genuinely surprised. He had only intended to tease Bete, not expecting him to actually develop a One Kick Asura. That was a skill that broke limits. Now, at Level 5, he had just kicked down the dragon with one blow; he might go back and directly level up to Level 6!
Originally, he just wanted to tease Bete for his sharp tongue, but seeing that this guy was so straightforward and didn't understand the teasing, Altair thought to switch tactics and give him some support.
'You're impressive, right? You must be able to accomplish those things I mentioned.'
Otherwise, Altair wouldn't bother playing along with them; grinding monsters alone was much more enjoyable! The only reason he had been praising Bete was to have fun with him.
But this guy actually pulled it off; impressive, impressive!
Even Altair, who intended to mess with him, felt a sense of admiration inside.
'Well, how can I not be impressed? A One Kick Asura has come out, and he even gave me a skill; what a great tool!'
"Hmph, just a mere lizard!"
Feeling energized by Altair's praise, Bete raised his chin proudly, filled with a surge of confidence!
"Even if Black Dragon comes, I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the power within him suddenly dissipated. Bete felt a heavy force pressing down on him, and with that, he closed his eyes and fell backward.
"Bete-san!"
Lefiya exclaimed in alarm as Ais rushed up to support Bete's back, catching him.
"Bete, what's wrong?"
However, Bete did not speak, his eyes tightly closed, showing no sign of movement.
"Don't worry, Bete-san just overexerted himself. The One Kick Asura is a skill that allows Bete-san to surpass himself. It is the ultimate skill that exchanges exertion for explosive power, and after using it, he will enter a period of weakness due to overexertion. He just needs to rest a bit."
Altair's explanation calmed Ais and Lefiya down. As fans of Bete, they knew so many of his hidden skills and even his super move, so Altair, who understood Bete best, should be reliable.
Unfortunately, Altair was just explaining based on his understanding of the One Kick Asura. Luckily, the overall difference wasn't too large; Bete indeed overdid it, leading to some muscle strain. A simple treatment later, followed by some rest, would be enough. Adventurers were just unreasonable that way.
"That's good. You scared me! I thought something happened to Bete-san."
"Wait, you can talk now?"
Lefiya relaxed but quickly focused her attention back on Altair, realizing he was speaking.
"Yeah, I was just able to speak now."
Although he was puzzled about why he hadn't spoken earlier and had used the dialogue board, it didn't seem like a big deal now; he would just consider himself a rather strange person.
"What should we do now? With Bete-san like this, we can't continue deeper."
"Let's take Bete back first."
As one of the only two Level 5s in the party, Ais made the decision.
"Let me handle it."
Altair took Bete from Ais and carried him on his back.
"Thank you."
Seeing Altair help, Ais nodded slightly to show her gratitude.
"What about the magic stone?"
Lefiya pointed to the dragon's corpse nearby; the corpse of the dragon floor boss had already dissipated, leaving behind a massive magic stone, much larger than the Goliath magic stone Altair had obtained before.
"I'll take care of it."
Ais calmly walked to the magic stone and lifted it from the ground, resting it on her shoulder, striking a pose that exuded strength!
Altair felt helpless; the magic stone was too big for him to carry.
He had picked up all the magic stones along the way and stored them in a bag on his back. After all, he played the role of a supporter in this team, but in reality, half of the magic stones had been secretly tossed into his 4D Pocket.
The four of them retraced their steps, with Ais leading the way and Lefiya providing cover. They quickly returned to the surface, and Altair even kindly accompanied them to return Bete to the Loki Familia's base.
At the entrance of the Loki Familia's base, Altair gently placed Bete down, handing him over to the guards at the gate, and he also took off the bag of magic stones from his back to give to Ais, but she refused.
"We already have the floor boss's magic stone; you can keep these."
"You helped Bete; this is a token of gratitude."
With that, Ais carried the magic stone and walked into the Familia, leaving Altair standing alone at the entrance.
Looking at the bag filled with half a bag of magic stones in his hand, Altair realized that the other half of the magic stones were his too.
First, he had played with Bete to tease him, and then he got him to do all the work for him for free, and now he even gained a skill. What a huge profit today!
