Chapter 116: Final words (2/2)

Finally, both teams had reached the stage and each player was standing by their capsule. The field in the centre started to light up. Then slowly wireframes started to be built and the map from the game was slowly emerging in front of their eyes.

”It looks just like the game,” Ashley said.

It really did look like the game, the two castles, the forest, everything had been generated, all that's was left now were the NPC knights and the warriors themselves.

”This is no time to get distracted.” Frank said, ”This game is like any other, we have to win this game.”

”WAIT!” A boy shouted at the top of his lungs. Usually, the chatter between the people in the crowds would be too hard for the others to be heard but for some reason, that voice had gotten through to his team.

Because this whole time the team were waiting for him. As the group turned, they could see Alex in the stands at the lowest level. In his hand, he held a piece of paper. They were the new notes he had written the day before.

Right now, they were crunched up in his hands as he knew it was already too late. Alex thought of all the things he wanted to say to his team. He wanted to help win this game, no not only that but he wanted to be in this game.

Maybe if he hadn't hesitated, maybe if he had left a little earlier, he could have been there and given them advice but right now there was nothing he could do.

Alex looked at the ground and scrunched up the piece of paper in his hand even more.

”Kick their asses for me!!! And we'll get to the final together, I promise!” Alex yelled while tears came out through his eyes.

The Montem team members then turned around looking at the arena with their back towards Alex.

”I guess you can't forgive me after all, I don't blame you,” Alex said to himself.

”It looks like he came,” Novis said.

”I didn't doubt he would for a second,” Scarlett replied.

”Yeah but he's too late, what's the use of coming now.” Frank said, ”Oh well, I guess I can keep your spot comfy for one game.”

Just then the whole Montem team lifted their hands, and gave a thumbs up. Showing them that they had managed to hear Alex's words loud and clear.

”Each player then headed into their capsule. Their minds were synced into the game and their warriors selected.

The display on the big screens above was turned on and the countdown had begun.

”The match will start in 3…2….1…Let's go!!”
