Chapter 100 Meeting New Guild Members.

Rishi entered the All-STARS guild's reserved training hall, where he saw all guild members practicing together. He saw three new people; one was a tall boy with messy green hair and black eyes.

One of the remaining two was a short man with two blades, light blue eyes, and white hair. He was performing a strange sword technique in which he moved, danced, and spun his two swords while moving from one location to another, but the girl with the face mask surprised Rishi the most; she was dressed in an oversized hoodie with a track pant underneath.

After learning stealth technique Rishi could now sense the presence of others but this girl had very little presence even when she was not doing anything.

Her eyes were completely black, while she had short brown hairs, and wore two dual blades around her waist. Rishi decided to put the new members to test because he was using stealth to avoid detection.

In his stealth form, he entered the room and began approaching them slowly; Dilip turned to face him when he was only ten meters away and smiled before continuing his training.

Rishi removed the tips from two arrows before aiming and shooting both arrows. He was employing a newly acquired archery skill known as 'Double shot,' which allowed him to hit two enemies simultaneously with twice the power of normal arrows. He was targeting both guys with the arrows while he used the 'Phantom Steps' skill to approach the girl before using the 'Sword Dash' skil.

The tank ignored the attack and continued his training, Some may believe he was unaware of the attack, but this was not the case. Vines appeared out of nowhere and formed a shield that easily blocked the attack when the arrow was within a five-meter radius.

He smiled and continued his training as if he was flexing. The second arrow attacked with his own attack just as it was about to hit the battle mage. His one sword attack released a sword slash, which blocked the arrow.

Rishi's attack hit the girl, and he stood in front of her with his sword aimed at her neck, but what surprised him was that the girl was still staring at Rishi expressionlessly with her emotionless eyes. This brought a frown on Rishi's face, and he was about to say something when Rishi felt a chill run down his spine; his instincts told him that he should flee while he could not sense anything.

At this critical juncture, he decided to rely on his best evasion technique, 'Shadow Walk' just as he moved back and two dagger attacks landed in the position where Rishi was previously standing.

The girl was also taken aback when she realized her attack had missed before she could comprehend the situation. Rishi emerged from her shadow and placed his sword around her neck, saying, "You are quick, aren't you?"

"Rishab never changes; he always tries to play a prank," the girl wanted to punch the face of this shameless bastard who attacked her out of nowhere and is now making fun of her.

"I was just saying hello," Rishi explained as he reinserted his sword into its sheath.

"You are the only person in this entire academy who will say hello to someone after putting his sword on their neck," Ajit said.

"Come on, I was just testing their reaction to surprise attacks," Rishi explained.

"Would you be willing to share your findings with the rest of us?" Ajit asked.

"That vine guy can defend; he must be Aman; the double-sword guy can counterattack but uses magic with his attacks; he must be a battle mage; and the girl that can dodge, hide, and ambush; she must be an assassin.

"That's easy to find; even Lalit can figure it out; give us some details," Dev said.

"The Tank guy must have a passive skill that protects him from such surprise attacks; if I had used my attacking arrow, he would have been eliminated; he is too overconfident and relies too heavily on his passive skill," Rishi said.

This irritated Aman; he wanted to deny, but he also knew deep down that he relied too much on his passive. "The problem with the battle mage is that he lacks defensive skills, which will result in him being eliminated first if he is hit by an attack that is more powerful than his attack or if he is outnumbered by enemies,"

Rishi continued, "This also makes it difficult for him to fight a stronger opponent who has an attack advantage over him."

"The girl has good response skills but fights in a one-sided manner; if she is successful in her ambush, the enemy will be eliminated, but if she fails, she will be the one to be eliminated. It's a dangerous fighting style in which a single miss will render her unable to continue."

"She also doesn't plan her next moves, such as what she'll do if the opponent defends himself and survives the attack," Rishi explained.

"Now, this had some specific details. Did you pay attention to what he said? You will need to work on your flaws; Rishi has keen observation, and his suggestions are very helpful. Do you know that Lalit's famous tank rush fighting style was inspired by his suggestion? He also advised Manu to learn long-range attacks," Dev said.

"Hello, my name is Rishab, Nice to meet you all," Rishi introduced himself with a smile.

"My name is Aman. Thank you for pointing out my flaw; I was already aware that I am overly reliant, but there has never been a situation where someone bypassed my defense." Aman stated.

"Until now, no one has bypassed your defense, but that doesn't mean no one will be able to counter your passive skill. It protects you from minor attacks, but a powerful attack can be fatal due to your carelessness," Rishi said, to which Aman nodded in agreement.

"My name is Bhanu; I've always wanted to meet you; I really enjoyed your performance in the guild competition; I joined this guild because I also want to improve and become an elite fighter," said the battle mage.

"It's great that you're honest; our guild only hires people who are extremely skilled or have the potential to be at the top with some investment and training; we provide our members with the best resources and training while also providing them with the right environment and freedom to grow and improve," Rishi said.

"My name is Chaya; When I saw how you eliminated so many students and ranked first on the kill leaderboard, I decided to join the guild. "I liked it when you eliminated 13 players in a row, but what I liked best was when, instead of escaping, you took out two opposing team members," the girl said.

"I was driven by greed at that time and made that stupid decision. I would have easily detected the trap if I had been more cautious, Was the skill you used when I hit you a substitute skill?" Rishi inquired.

"Yeah, it's a skill called 'Decoy,' and I'm also curious how you can use stealth when you don't have the assassin job class," Chaya asked.

"It's not a proper stealth skill; it's a very difficult technique to learn that takes months to master. It also has some advantages over the standard stealth skill, such as the fact that it can be used for a longer time, can be improved over time, and costs very little mana. If you want, I can give you the guidebook I used as a gift; It contains the insights of an expert Assasin" Rishi said.

"Thank you; you are very different from the rumors," Chaya said.

"The rumors are often exaggerated; I am a normal student like everyone else," Rishi said with a smile.

"Bro, you never gave me anything when I joined the guild; you only like gift girls," Lalit grumbled.

"I am also a girl, but I also did not receive any gift," Nina pouted.

"Come on, guys, grow up; if you win another tournament, I'll give you all a special gift," Rishi said.

"Is there any new competition, Senior?" Lalit inquired from Ajit.

"Yes, there is one guild tournament," Ajit agreed with a nod. "Only first-year students can compete in an arena battle in this tournament."

"We'll win it then; we've already won the bigger competition, and we also have Rishab," Lalit said confidently.

"I will not participate; I will leave everything up to you guys," Rishi said.

"What do you mean? How will we compete without you, Dev, and Dilip?" Lalit asked.

"That's why you guys will need to prove yourself; without us, you all have a better chance to win. You, Manu, and Jay have advanced and learned various new skills." Rishi stated.

"In addition, all three of you have experience, and with Nina on your team, you'll have another powerful member. You can also modify the team configuration based on the situation. If you want a magic damage dealer, add Bhanu; if you're up against mages and archers, Chaya will take care of them," Ajit added.

"Then also, this team has the same weakness as our old team; even with Bhanu, this team doesn't have long-range magic damage. Rishab's second contract beast played the role of the mage in our time, but he will not participate this time," Dev explained.

"Did you ask Vinay to join our guild, Dev? we could cover this flaw by recruiting him?" Rishi suggested.

"Rishab, I tried to contact him several times and even made him several offers, but he turned them all down. He comes from a wealthy family, so there isn't much we can offer him," Dev explained.

"There could be something he needs; send me a detailed report with everything about him and his family, and I will try to recruit him myself. I don't care if you pay for information; I need a file of him with all the details by tomorrow," said Rishi.

This conversation gave new members a new perspective on Rishi's power, even though he had resigned. "Don't worry, I'll send you the file tomorrow," Ajit replied.
