Chapter 58: The Right Warrior (1/2)

Although Novis had his suspicions of Goldware corp, there wasn't much he could do. No one would listen to the ramblings of a kid, especially if Novis started talking about ghosts. He would be put in a madhouse before he could even finish explaining the situation.

Someone had to know something though and most likely the people at the top had something to do with it. Novis knew Tom but had none of his contact details and sending an email to the company would never work. So, for now, Novis decided he needed to put a pin in it.

Novis was only fifteen and he still had plenty of his life left to solve things. It wasn't like the fate of the world was resting on his shoulders or anything, like in the many books and manga he read.

Ever since George also entered Novis's mind Arthur spoke to him a lot less. The two of them would hang out in the dream world and spar and talk to each other. Novis wasn't able to hear them unless, he too went into the dream world.

But this didn't stop Novis from completing his normal routine, he went for a run in the morning and tried to get a personal best. Right after it was time for school.

Scarlett came up to Novis on their lunch break as usual.

”Did you manage to get the fifth person to join then?”

”Yeah it's all sorted, she's going to meet us at the VSW club after school.”

Although Scarlett couldn't help but feel weird about Novis knowing another girl, she also was very happy that the club finally had a fifth member.

”Finally, it looks like we going to play as a team together,” Scarlett replied.

Novis and Scarlett smiled at each other. They had both been waiting for this day. Novis enjoyed playing and getting stronger but when he played online, he didn't like talking to strangers or communicating with them much, this was actually one of the many reasons why he lost his matches even though Novis himself was a strong player.

The school bell rang and it was finally time for the club to begin. Novis went down with Scarlett to the club room. Dan and Alex were already there waiting.

”Hey everyone,” Scarlett said with a bright happy face.

”Hey,” Alex replied back while Dan gave a wave. ”We were just talking about what Warrior would be best for Dan.”

Then suddenly George perked up.

”Oh, this Dan boy has a nice body, he even has our good looks to go with it, it's a shame he is not a chosen one.”

”Oh, I'm sorry you two get to live rent-free in this ugly shell of a body,” Novis replied.

Novis knew Dan was special and having George just confirm it kinda hurt him a little. Novis didn't think he was bad looking but at the same time, he didn't have girls confessing to him nearly every day.

”Why don't we just let him try the one until he finds something he likes?” Scarlett replied

”Well the problem is the tournament is only a week away now, we don't have a lot of time. It would be ideal if Dan could find one he likes but he needs to learn how to use the warrior. It's best if we can pick one that best suits him and then let him get as much experience from playing that warrior as he can.”

”So what one did you pick?” Novis asked.
