896: Mikayama
> Look, based on the spear, it's pretty much confirmed, that's what I'm saying.

878: Sensai
> As fast as he is, yeah, I can buy it.

879: GazaQ
> The shortsword? Dagger? at his hip is also suspicious, even though he hasn't drawn it yet.

880: Tikel
> What's the deal with those red crystal daggers that keep spawning infinitely?

881: Thx
> I love how that ridiculously huge axe is just ridiculous.

882: getten
> Everything about him is just completely absurd...

883: kikrage
> How is he even swinging that stupid battle-axe? Are his stats like STR:500 AGI:500 or something???

884: ver.lol
> >>883 There's a link above summarizing all of [Haru]'s past forum posts. The prevailing theory right now is that he's using some kind of exploit with a quick-change skill.

885: Jinx
> The real question is whether he's a bug exploiter or not.

886: Kikyo
> In this game of all places, bugs are impossible...

887: Northon
> The chance of a bug in Arcadia is about as likely as me dating the Princess.

888: Zeppen
> 0% lmao

889: jijiji
> The concept of bugs doesn't exist in Arcadia.

900: kikko
> Reality is full of bugs, but this game has none.

901: Rokuro
> The unwavering faith and the flood of roasts is hilarious. But seriously, bugs are unthinkable, so we don't need to consider it.

902: aisu
> The third match ended in like three seconds, my jaw dropped.

903: MSO
> Pretty sure Gamagappa-san's jaw dropped harder than anyone's.

904: Pongole
> What's with that zero-to-one-hundred acceleration he does at the start of every match? Is there anyone who can deal with that on a first encounter?

905: Mischer
> He's always holding that weird black knife when he does that insane super-acceleration. And there's a zap effect coming from the weapon so... is it a weapon effect?

906: Ronten
> If that's just a weapon's effect, it's way too broken... Doesn't that effect look like the one for self-damage?

907: noma-san
> A super-acceleration skill triggered by self-damage? Smells like a unique skill, doesn't it?

908: pokke
> Everything about him is unique.

909: Wasota
> His clothes and the armor on his hands and feet are from existing materials, but... the design sense of his clothes, it looks kinda familiar, doesn't it???

910: LunchKichi
> [Milmarinus, the Aquamarine Fairy] was apparently carried princess-style in public. There are numerous eyewitness accounts, so it's pretty much confirmed.

911: Hokekyo
> So he's a rookie who's all buddy-buddy with a top-tier artisan.

912: UsaBure
> Her fans are gonna riot.

913: Bamputt
> They're already rioting...

914: Quinpe
> The follower thread is a living hell, I can't even laugh.

915: Quinpe
> And yet the man himself is at the venue with another female player.

916: Mikamika
> I saw her from a distance, but she's cute too. Something about her... her mannerisms are just peak beautiful girl.

917: YesMen
> Nope nope, unforgivable. NoMen.

918: Ookuro
> We're getting off-topic, but are we all in agreement that he's the one who cleared the [Spiral Crimson Tower]?

919: Oruto
> The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming, it has to be him. There are even reports that he was wearing some kind of rabbit-shaped hair accessory, so it was probably a reward or something?

920: GazaQ
> First-clear reward... or maybe a solo-clear reward.

921: Oruto
> The Rabbit Heaven dungeon does seem like the type to have a solo-clear reward.

922: HookBook
> Seriously, how did he clear that death trap of a dungeon...

923: Rerec
> If we ask him nicely, maybe he'll record a clear video for us.

924: Mikayama
> No one could have predicted that a newbie who just debuted in the Garden would clear it in two days... No wonder the search for the conqueror was abandoned.

925: UsaBure
> Also, if that [Haru] is that [Haru], then that means he can also do the pseudo-air jump using the quick-change exploit, right? He hasn't used it so far, has he?

926: Horiguccha
> He hasn't. And there's that insane greatsword (?) that's suspected to be a Terror Armament, and the white sword with an assault skill... He's hiding a lot of cards, isn't he?

927: SOSO
> He probably is. It's a tournament, so it makes sense he'd play his cards close to his chest... but I feel for the three guys who lost to a rookie doing that...

928: Tikel
> Gamagappa-san getting one-shot at the start is just tragic.

929: Otis
> Jiro-kun getting turned into a beehive while desperately chasing him was pretty rough too...

930: SOSO
> But most of all, it's Zou-san, who got killed by an unknown strategy in the first match with zero information. He's not someone who should be eliminated that early...

931: Ichiko
> I wonder if Zou-san won't get a spot this time. A veteran of the defense squad...

932: Fu-sen
> They should take his past achievements into account, especially since his opponent was who he was.

933: ElephantThree
> I'll be able to accept it even if I don't get a spot this time.

934: Vavalon
> He's a rare breed, a medium-weight shield warrior with thought acceleration.

935: SOSO
> Whoa, you scared me. Good work in the match.

936: Ichiko
> Good work, Zou-san! It was a close match...

937: ElephantThree
> Thanks. It was a complete defeat, I'm embarrassed to say.

938: Don
> No no no no, just being able to react to those legs on your first encounter is insane.

939: Ryuta
> Seriously. I don't mean to put anyone else down, but I think Zou-san's ability to adapt was amazing.

940: Majiro
> For real. As someone with the same agility build who couldn't do anything, I'm ashamed.

941: Otis
> Here's another one... Good work, Jiro-kun. That was just unavoidable.

942: ElephantThree
> I had a feeling he was holding back, but as the one who lost, I have no hard feelings. If anything, I feel bad for underestimating him at first, thinking he was just a new face.

943: Gamagappa
> I wasn't underestimating him either, but... I genuinely couldn't react. My jaw just dropped. It was magnificent.

944: Tikel
> Ah... good work, Gamagappa-san. I think it was the worst possible matchup, so it can't be helped...

945: Gogochun
> To the three of you, could you give us your impressions from fighting him directly?

946: ElephantThree
> He vanishes.

947: Majiro
> Too fast.

948: Gamagappa
> Can't see him.

949: Hohofukuro
> The fact that all their answers are just one word says everything and it hurts.

950: Majiro
> With an AGI of around 200, there's no way you can catch him. During the match, I was playing tag with my eyes rolled back, thinking, "Is this Hayagake-san Mk. II?"

951: Gamagappa
> I got taken out in an instant, so I can't say much, but I almost burst out laughing when that massive battle-axe suddenly appeared in his hands. His speed is one thing, but that skill to freely deploy weapons is what's truly insane.

952: ElephantThree
> My eyes popped out when the axe vanished and my guard was broken. If he can do something like that on the fly, I can't just carelessly use my skills. For a shield user, he's nothing short of a natural enemy.

953: Gamagappa
> For someone with that much agility... or maybe he's not even an agility build? It's interesting that he has both that level of speed and firepower.

954: Majiro
> Plus, he's got mid-range covered with those mysterious thrown daggers. Sometimes they'd fly out of his hand with no motion, I wonder if that's some kind of skill.

955: Gamagappa
> It's a shame I couldn't do anything. I wanted to see more of what he could do.

956: ElephantThree
> What's most incredible might be his reaction speed. From what I saw, he didn't seem to be using a thought acceleration skill, so if that's his base speed, he's a bona fide monster.

957: Majiro
> I know, right? I used my own thought acceleration skill and tried to outmaneuver him by predicting his footwork, but he instantly sensed it and got away.

958: Majiro
> ...At that speed, how do you even make a right-angle turn???

959: ElephantThree
> I was thinking something similar. The sliding movement he showed at the end was probably [Tremble Slide], but... that skill should still have residual inertia at the end, right? How did he manage to stop on a dime and immediately transition to an attack?

960: Gamagappa
> Hmm... Maybe he has some kind of inertia-control skill? If so, that's likely a unique skill as well.

961: Damudamu
> Everyone went silent lmao

982: JIMRock
> It's a serious analysis by three powerful players, what else are we supposed to do but watch silently?

983: rottas
> This.

984: Majiro
> In any case, his next match is going to be the one to watch.

985: Gamagappa
> For sure. I can't wait for the break to be over.

986: ElephantThree
> Right now, I'm more interested in his future than my own selection. I have to go watch his fourth match, no matter what.

987: ElephantThree
> The rising star versus the [Sword Protector]... I wonder what kind of match they'll show us.
