Chapter 8: The best in the world (2/2)
Novis was still finding it hard to trust Arthur, but even though he was a complete beginner even he knew someone had to be skilful to take on three people at once.
”I wonder if I can do that one day?”
A person who was watching the match had heard what Novis had said.
”Are you joking, don't you know who he is?”
Novis didn't reply for fear of embarrassing himself.
The man sighed.
”He's Justin bell, the number one player in the world. Currently ranked 1st in the god tier. If you could do what he just did I'd be bowing down to you asking you to teach me.”
”If I can beat him, perhaps I can achieve my goal,” Arthur said.
”Try beating my brother first.”
Novis entered the training centre and went to the front desk to register. While at the front desk he bumped into a familiar face. The fat man who had bullied the old women.
Novis was frowning at the man but didn't realise what he was doing.
”What are you looking at kid?”
Novis didn't say anything he was afraid that he might say something so offensive that the man would hit him. He simply bit his lip and walked back out of the training centre.
Novis hated these people the most, if he was older and stronger he properly would have hit the man but he would be the only one getting in trouble if that was to happen. In a way society currently had no true way to deal with bullies. If you were to go to the police they wouldn't take the thing seriously. People may not realise it but adults also bully and get bullied it's not just something that happened in school. Someone needed to do something about it Novis thought.
”Novis, you promised me I would get to fight today,” Arthur complained.
”I know, I know but what am I meant to do now, that man ruined my mood. I don't want to go back in there.”
Just then the man who was talking to them before approached Novis.
Hey if you're looking for a place to play, there's an internet cafe nearby for VSW players.
”Seriously,”
”Yeah a lot of people can't afford to buy there own VR headset, so they use an internet cafe, it's a good place to train and practice as well.”
”What do you think Arthur?”
”As long as I get to fight today, I don't mind who I'm up against.”
Novis took out his phone and said
”Do you mind sending me the address?”
