Chapter 47: A Fifth member (2/2)

Scarlett had finished tending to Dan's hand and came over to comfort Alex. Novis was thinking that Scarlett had been tending for everyone but him. Perhaps he should have banged his head on the wall on the way over here. Then maybe she could tend to his needs too.

”How are we meant to find a fifth member if Mac beats up everyone who joins?” Alex complained.

The group thought together for a while on what they could do. They needed to find someone who wasn't afraid of Mac and his gang. Someone like Dan who could handle himself in tough situations. The problem was it was rare to find someone like Dan.

Anyone who was in a club already wouldn't bother risking or joining a club like there's. Unless they owed them a favour.

Then a thought came to Novis's mind.

”I think I have an idea on who our fifth member can be, just leave it to me.”

With the incident on the roof, the four of them had no time to play any matches together. All the clubs had already finished and they decided to head home.

Novis stopped by his grandpa's dojo to focus on training. He was currently learning from Arthur how to make his strikes stronger. Novis realised while watching Arthur that he defeated his opponents in one strike.

The game had a standard attack strength per warrior but somehow Arthur was able to surpass that. Not only that, he was doing that while using Novis's body. Which meant in theory Novis should be able to do the same.

Whenever Novis would fight someone it would take him a few slashes even with the same longsword.

When Novis asked Arthur about this, he said this was something he couldn't explain. He had been shown it by his master a long time ago and one day he eventually understood. All Novis could do was watch Arthur and try to replicate him.

After a few hours of training, Novis was beat, and decided to head home. Novis felt like he had made no progress in his training for a while now, he was currently at a standstill. His basic stamina and strength were increasing every day. He had even bought some weights to use at his grandfather's dojo and although it helped, it wasn't bringing him closer to Arthurs level.

All he could do was continue to watch Arthur.

”Hey, do you want to play again. I feel like I need to watch you more closely.”

Arthur was pleased and happy to show Novis as many times as he wanted.

Novis hoped into the capsule and switched with Arthur. As soon as Arthur logged into the game many of his fans logged in to watch him play once more.

”It's him, he's finally online again.”

”It looks like he's playing a lot more now.”

”Is it just me or is he getting better.”

Some of the people online had noticed that Arthur swings and attacks were getting faster. They couldn't believe someone so good was actually getting even better at the game.

The reason for this was Novis. When Novis first played the game, Arthur had to rely on the warrior's stats given to him. This was a limit for Arthur. The warrior's stats were set quite low. This was done on purpose in the hope that real athletes would be attracted to the game.

Now Novis body had surpassed that of the warrior in the game Arthur was able to display more and more of his abilities online.

Arthur entered his first match and started his rampage.
