Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 864: Matches in Zero Gravity

The droids carried the two of them and flew them to either side of the nearly 100 meters wide spherical room and left them in the air.         

    

With zero gravity, both Ning and the young man in front of him were hanging in the air unable to move at all.     

If they wanted to move, they would have to use the Burst mode on their gun. Ning prepped his two guns. He placed the left one on Shoot and the right one on Burst.     

"How many rounds would you like the battle to be?" A robotic voice asked from below them at the hub.     

"3," the man said. "Are you okay with that?"      

"First one to get shot twice loses? Yeah, I'm okay with that," Ning said.     

"Game mode set to 3 rounds. The game will start in 15 seconds."     

The voice started counting down, and Ning and the man prepped themselves to fight.     

"3… 2… 1.. Begin!"      

Ning shot his right gun toward the young man and shot his left gun to his left. Instantly, he was pushed to the right by the burst from his gun.     

The young man instead put both his guns at burst and pushed himself in the other direction. Then, he instantly changed it to Shoot and shot at Ning.     

Ning heard the sound of the gun being shot and burst himself towards the left even more while shooting back at the man.     

The young man moved downward and then shot behind him to move towards Ning.     

Ning was surprised that he was willing to come into close combat, but he wasn't scared. Instead, he took the chance to shoot the young man using both his guns at a slight angle.     

The young man saw this and shot downward to move upward before shooting behind to move forward.     

Ning shot upwards and flew down while switching his guns back to shoot at his opponent.     

Ning found it annoying that he wasn't getting the hang of the power behind his gun fast enough. More than anything, he wasn't sure how the gun registered a hit, but he did see that they did, so he didn't question it.     

Just then, the young man pointed towards him and shot at Ning. Ning dodged the moment he heard the sound, but then another gunshot fired, and this time, his gun simply couldn't shoot fast enough for him to change the direction he was moving in.     

As such, he felt a slight vibration on his chest from his armor and saw it glow yellow.     

He had lost once.     

"Hah! You were quite arrogant that you could win. Where's that arrogance now?" the young man shouted at Ning from not far away.     

Ning didn't say anything and just smiled. "It's alright. I'm only just learning, so you can't expect me to get good at once," he said. "However, I think I'm now so ready that you shouldn't be able to win at all."     

"Heh… we'll see," the young man said.     

The droids came to pick both of them back to their original position before asking them if they were ready.     

Ning spent split second thinking about what he had learned from the match just now.      

For one, there was a reload time between each shot of the gun. So, it was better if Ning didn't shoot both guns at once and instead left one active at all times so that he could use it in the case of an emergency.         

    

Other than that, there was also the fact that the 'bullet' or whatever signal the machinery was using was rather slow.     

As long as someone knew it was coming and had a good enough reaction speed, they could always dodge it.     

Which was to say, if you didn't want them to dodge easily, get close and shoot.      

'No wonder he came towards me,' Ning thought.     

The droid at the bottom of the room started speaking once again, counting down from the start until it reached 1.     

After that, the 2nd round began.     

As soon as that happened, Ning rushed forward. He alternated between using his guns as he shot forward in a zig-zag manner.     

The young man frowned and instantly sent himself tumbling sideways, and shot at Ning. However, Ning always had one gun active, so he used it instantly to dodge.     

Ning then got closer once again, while dodging another attack. When he arrived less than 5 meters away, he pointed the gun in his right hand and shot.     

The shooting sound made the young man in front of him immediately send himself flying upwards to avoid it, but he realized something was wrong when Ning smiled.     

Ning's hands simply moved upwards along with the young man's current path, and before the young man could use his guns again, Ning shot.     

Yellow light glowed from the young man's armor as he was shot right in the chest.     

"You cheated!" he cried out immediately. "Your gun reloaded way too fast. You must've tampered with it."     

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk," Ning shook his head. "Is that all you can say when you've been outmaneuvered? Going straight to the accusation of cheating. Don't call others cheaters when you're the one that is bad at the game."     

"Bronn! He didn't cheat," a man spoke from the side. "He used his other gun to make you think he shot the actual one."     

Ning looked at the man that just revealed his secrets and smiled back at the young man in front of him. "See? You're so bad that you didn't even realize what had happened just now. If not for your friend there, you would've remained ignorant your whole life."     

"You bastard! Stop acting as if you've won. There is still one more round for us," he said.     

"Sure! Whatever makes you feel happy," Ning said while laughing and letting the droids take him back to the fighting position.     

Once they were both ready, the countdown from 15 started, and when it reached 1, the final round began.
