Chapter 6: A Professinal (2/2)

As the session ended people quickly went to the back of the room to start a few matches of their own. Novis looked around the room releasing that nearly everyone had already found a partner. Paul spotted that novice hadn't approached anyone and started to walk towards him.

”You're a beginner right, what's your name?” Paul asked.

”It's Novis, Yeah I don't know anything?”

”What made you want to play VSW?”

Novis put a finger towards his forward, honestly, he wasn't really interested in VSW and was doing it for Arthur. So Novis decided to give an answer he thought paul would want to hear.

”To become a professional.”

Paul looked at Novis, he thought the boy looked like he was still in school. Most kids his age would have already been playing the game. Yet for some reason, Novis was here in his beginner class. Novis's response interested him and he wanted to know more about the boy.

”Why don't we play a game?” Paul asked.

As Novis was taking a moment to think, Arthur interrupted him.

”Is he strong?” Arthur asked.

”Well, he's a professional.”

”I kept hearing this word, what is a Professinal?”

”A professional means he makes a living playing the game.”

Adrenaline started to pump through Arthurs body as he thought he was about to face a strong opponent, someone who dedicated his whole life to a craft similar to his had to be strong but then Novis said something unexpected.

”Hey, Arthur do you mind if play this one.”

Arthur was surprised at what Novis had asked him. he had worried about the boy. He knew that Novis had no hobbies or interests. Arthur was the type that thought everyone should have a goal in their life.

”Sure, as long as there be plenty of opportunities for me in the future.”

Novis and Paul then went to one of the free tables at the back, each of them then started to put on their VR headset.

”Ready,” Paul said.

”Ready”
