Chapter 34: Losing all hope (2/2)

”Wait Scarlett, I don't even know where you're taking me.”

As Alex saw the person behind Scarlett his heart sank a little. He remembered meeting this person before and if he remembered correctly the person stated he was Bronze rank five at the time. The lowest rank possible in the game.

Alex needed to stay positive though. It had been a few months since the two of them last met. Perhaps his rank had improved and was naturally talented at the game.

Scarlett dragged Novis to the centre of the room and pointed at Mac.

”This guy, I want you to play against him and beat him.”

Novis looked at the huge student standing in front of him. It was hard for Novis to believe that Mac was truly 16 years old. Novis looked around the room and noticed that currently, all the members were present. He started to get nervous thinking of all the people watching him.

”Can't I just play him online at home, why does it have to be now?” Novis said.

Scarlett held Novis's hand tightly, tears started to fall down from her big round eyes.

”Novis, if you don't win this, then he said he would kick me out of the club.”

Novis didn't really understand the situation he was in. After all, he had been dragged here against his will. But he did know something, Scarlett was upset. Novis liked the fact that Scarlett had enjoyed playing the game, he even whished one day Him, his brother, Scarlett and even Lucas could form a team one day.

Novis didn't understand his own feelings, but for some reason seeing Scarlett like this, made his blood boil and currently all his anger was directed at the person who caused this.

”Alright let's do this,” Novis said.

Scarlett let go of Novis's hand and went back next to Alex to watch the upcoming match.

”This little runt is who I have to go up against, Fine I'll beat all your weak ass friends.”

The two of them put on their VR headset and logged in using their user IDs.

<User ProNovis has entered the lobby>

Most of the members hadn't seen Novis before so they didn't know what to expect but currently all their hopes were riding on him. They didn't want a bully like Mac to be in charge of the club.

When Novis joined the lobby though, all their hopes were suddenly crushed.

”ha, ha, ha really so you're a noob, your rank is bronze five. Well, this will be a quick game.”

Alex who had remained positive until this point suddenly lost all hope. Novis after all this time had still remained at bronze rank 5 meaning he hadn't gotten any better at the game.

”Just start man!” Novis shouted.

The two of them then went to the warrior selection page, where everyone was given an even bigger shock. For Novis had chosen to select a character, that had only come out that very same day.
