Chapter 33: Club leader (2/2)
Alex was getting frustrated, He knew what he needed to do to win, but he didn't have the skills to do it. The system only gave each character four different skills and none of them would help him in a situation like this. His real skills with the sword were basic and not strong enough to get Mac in the position he wanted.
Alex continued attacking hoping an opportunity might eventually show itself. But it never did. And in Alex inexperience, his character had quickly become worn out. He was exhausted. Mac saw this opportunity and cast the skill ”hammer throw”. The hammer went flying through the air at a lightning-fast speed.
Alex went to dodge but his legs would no longer listen to him.
*Bang
As the hammer made contact with Alex's body, he burst into a flame of blue particles.

The members who were supporting Alex were silent. While Mac's goons were cheering away. The members couldn't help but feel proud of Alex. They knew he had tried everything he could. Alex was never good at one on one battles. He excelled at team matches where tactics were involved. Their hopes were raised a little when they saw Alex perform the shield barge but the result was as expected.
The two of them took off their VR headsets. Mac was smiling with Joy while Alex couldn't look anyone in the eye, he felt like he had let them down. For some reason, Alex felt like he could no longer move. Scarlett quickly came over and helped Alex back into the crowd.
”Look at that, he even needs a girl to help him.” Mac and his goons started to laugh.
”Shut up, you already won, why do you have to be like this.”
”He should have never been the leader in the first place, only the strongest should be the leader. I'll be happy to let anyone take my place as long as they can beat me. Maybe you want to have a go?”
Scarlett bit her lip, she had only been playing the game for a short while and mainly as range character. She knew she stood no chance against Mac.
”If there is no one here that can beat me, then as the leader of the VSW club my first command is that you two are banned from the club.”
Alex felt as if lightning had just struck his heart. Tears started to roll down his face. He had spent all his time in the club room with his friends with the aim of becoming a pro. He wanted to prove to his family he could do it by winning this tournament. If he was to be kicked out of the club there was no chance he could do that.
Scarlett then turned and faced Mac. The height difference between the two looked comical. But Scarlett's face was dead serious.
”All I need to do is find someone in this school that can beat you right?” Scarlett said.
”Exactly, easy right?”
”Fine, you just wait right here.”
