And at the other end of the network cable, Donnie's opponent is more irritable -

"This guy, can you play it!?"

Pierce gripped the handle of his hand as hard as he held a shotgun.

This worries Ned, who is sitting on the side and playing games with his dad.

"If the opponent on the other side of the network really shows up in front of you, maybe Dad will actually get a shotgun, right?"

Ned thought uncertainly.

Because of the Quidditch match that was previously "broadcast" on TV, Ned's dad Pierce also became interested in this virtual sports game.

He paid for Ned to buy Amazing Quidditch, which was released some time ago, on the condition that he be taught how to play and that it was of average par.

Ned originally thought it was a simple task, so he agreed, but now it seems-

"If you know, you won't agree to him!"

Ned deeply realized what is called free is the most expensive-

Pierce isn't the type to be insulated from the game and can't teach how to do it.

Although Ned's dad is a slow learner of electronics, he still has no problem learning how to play.

The problem is that his fingers are slow to react, and he rarely played games before, so he can't reach the normal level for a while, let alone other players, and even the game itself provides a simple AI mode computer that sometimes can't beat it.

What's even more terrifying is that Pierce often watches football on TV, and when he encounters a situation that is not pleasant to watch, he will subconsciously want to throw the things in his hand to the screen.

Although he will retract quickly most of the time, it is not uncommon for something thrown out to smash the screen. But what was thrown out was eighty percent over.

In the past, when he watched the football game, most of the beer in his hand was just a can of beer, but now, he has Ned's gamepad in his hand......

Anyway, in recent times, Ned has already received three gamepads as "compensation".

And looking at today's meaning, Ned feels that he will receive a new gamepad soon.

After all, his dad shouted out if the other party would play such a thing.

- As a novice in the game, he will criticize his opponent like this, often not because the opponent is too distant, but because the opponent's way of making moves does not conform to the routine he understands.

This tends to give newbies the feeling of "can you still do this!? Are you fouling !??"

- Ned's father, Pierce, is like that now.

Ned watched in horror as his dad raised the gamepad in his hand several times, wanted to throw, and then put it down after a while, feeling like he was on a roller coaster.

"Dad, if you hate this guy, just change to an opponent, anyway, there are a lot of opponents on the Internet. ”

For the safety of his own handle, Ned proposed.

"That's good, this guy's level is really average. So, Ned, can I change a few more tough opponents?"

Pierce, who had a low eye, asked Ned,

"It's like the opponents you played before!"

"Those are the opponents of the second division!"

Ned said helplessly,

"Dad, you're still in the D-League!"

"Moreover, before complaining that the opponent is too weak, don't you first increase your win rate to more than 40%?"

Ned complained in his heart.

In order for players connected to the Internet to be able to play against the right opponents, The Amazing Quidditch's online platform has a Rank Matchmaking system.

However, it is not the setting of bronze, silver, gold, kings and other bad streets in later generations, but in a model similar to a real ball game, using the words of multiple leagues such as A, B, C, D.

- Anyway, in the story of "Harry Potter", there is a Quidditch League!

The Ding League, where Pierce is located, can basically be regarded as a rookie area.

Only by increasing your win rate and moving up to a higher league can you match up with stronger opponents.

However, from the current point of view, this is a big problem for Pierce.

"Otherwise, Ned, you let me play with your character!"

Pierce suddenly thought of a way to save trouble.

Ned, on the other hand, was stunned, and then quickly shook his head,

"No, you're going to downgrade me to C!"

- Although the second division is not considered a master area, it can be regarded as a stalwart player anyway, and Ned does not want to be relegated.

However, his truth-telling annoyed his dad Pierce,

"Stinky boy, you look down on me!"

"Of course not!"

In the face of his irascible dad, Ned certainly didn't dare to admit directly, "Yes, I just look down on your game skills" - you know, Pierce, despite his bad game skills, has been practicing boxing all year round.

At the critical moment, Ned's brain was spinning, and he was in a hurry.

"Otherwise, Dad, I'll play a few games for you and take you to the score!"

“...... Isn't this cheating!?"

For the first time, Ned found out that his father was still middle-aged......

In contrast, Emily and Gianna, who are both young people with Ned, are much happier.

- Because they are roommates, the two share an XBOX.

Ever since the release of The Amazing Quidditch, the duo, who immediately bought the game disc, have been playing against each other in their dorms.

Unlike Emily, who is single-mindedly determined to win, though, Gianna is a close-up collector.

She often gave up the chance to score in the middle of a match for a nice feint close-up. Just like now—

"Look at my Longis feints!"

Gianna shouted.

Emily, on the other hand, pouted, easily completed the ball and scored.

"Emily, you're really uncooperative!"

Gianna, who failed in the feint, pouted and complained,

"It's just a little bit closer, and my Longkis feint is done!"

"What Longis feint!?"

Emily rolled her eyes,

"That's just a Pugachev cobra maneuver!"

"What!?"

Gianna was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously,

"Emily, what do you mean by that? What is Poogaccio...... Huh!?"

Gianna wanted to say the term Emily had just said, but accidentally bit her tongue.

"Pugachev Cobra maneuver!"

Faced with her roommate, who had completely transformed from Bichi to a shaking, Emily sighed helplessly,

"Don't you notice that many of the wonderful feints in "The Amazing Quidditch" are actually simulated fighter maneuvers! Pugachev Cobra maneuver is a stall maneuver of the famous Russian fighter Su-27. ”

“...... Haven't heard of it at all!"

Gianna shook her head dryly.

"You don't pay attention to airplanes or anything like that?"

"Of course. ”

Gianna nodded,

"I'm a beautiful woman, and I care what that thing does, unless you count how many times you help men fight—"

"Hey !!"

Emily was angry and devastated in the tunnel,

"You guy's life is so dirty, do you want to work in the Fernando Valley in the future?"

"Of course not. ”

Gianna shook her head, but she was not angry,

"Emily, don't you think that as a woman, mastering more skills and working better is a sign of responsibility to your future husband?

“......”

- What you said makes so much sense that I'm speechless......
