Chapter 115: A New Feeling (1/2)

After hearing what Josh had said about Novis being a dark horse on the Montem team, the students started to think back to previous games. But as they looked through their memory banks, not one noticeable memory of Novis being there came up.

”Novis, did he do anything special in the last games?”

”Not that I can remember, I don't think I even saw him in the match highlights.”

”Then why is Josh talking about Novis?”

Novis started to lift the jacket he was wearing to cover his face and slowly started to sink into his seat as everyone on the bus started to talk about him. Of course, Novis wanted attention but not like this. This wasn't good or bad attention, it felt like the type of attention you got for being the teacher's pet.

The people on the bus were talking about him for the wrong reasons he felt like.

”Don't worry about them Novis,” Scarlett said, ”We know more than anyone how special you are to the team.”

”Thanks, Scar,” Novis said with a smile

Although Novis had felt fine for most of the trip, suddenly he felt like he had butterflies in his stomach. Josh had just stated he was a person to look out for and now people would pay attention to him. If he didn't do anything in this game then he would be mocked for time to come.

And the thought of his brother finding out and watching the game, he knew his brother would never let him forget about this moment.

However, not only were the Montem students watching the broadcast, so were the Woo Woo students and supporters. After the mention of Novis, they immediately went to do some research on him and found his player ID.

Soon the chat started to fill up with Woo Woo supporters.

”What the, this guy is still in Bronze.”

”Duh, didn't you realise their whole team is in bronze.”

”How did they get this far.”

”Easy win for Woo Woo.”

”Josh has clearly lost it; he no longer has the talent to scout out future players.”

Although Josh could see all the negative comments it didn't affect him one bit. He had confidence that Novis would show something to them in this game. With the open live field, the camera wouldn't be able to avoid Novi's actions.

This confidence was all because Josh had information about Novis that the rest of the world didn't.

He had beaten the best player in the world's son, Lucas. But little did he know that Novis wasn't the actual one to beat him, but it was Arthur.

The broadcast continued and Josh and Cindy started to talk about the other teams. The excitement died down on the bus a little and after another thirty minutes of driving, they had finally reached the stadium.

”Whoa! I've never been in a stadium before.” Novis said staring at the large Oval building from the outside.

”It reminds me of the coliseums we used to have in my world,” Arthur said.
