Chapter 134: Are you pro? (1/2)

While Bill and Hastam were busy chatting away, Novis could feel his heartbeat thumping even louder.

”How the hell did the topic of conversation change to me!” Novis thought. All he wanted to do was scream at them to stop.

”Do you want me to do something?” Arthur asked.

”No, if we act now, they will know something is up,” Novis replied.

The smile on Bill's face was huge as he happily talked about his brother to Hastam.”Oh, so your brother will be playing in the semifinals then?” Hastam asked.

”Yeah and hill be facing off against Lucas bell, did you know their rumours going around that my brother actually beat him before, people can't wait for this game.”

”Shut up, shut up, shut up.” Novis was shouting out in his head.

Learning this piece of information Hastam had a thought, it was like jigsaw pieces were going into his head. He often liked playing detective games and watching movies but something just seemed to click.

Why did the Virtual sword god add Bill? Other then Hastam himself there has never been a case of this happening. He had a theory that Bill actually knew this person without realising it himself. Now Bill was also telling him that his brother had defeated Lucas before, someone even Hastam knew the name of.

Hastam then glanced over in the Virtual sword god's direction. He remained there completely motionless.

”Wait a minute!” Then lightning had stuck inside his mind, and a grin appeared on his face.

A student who was unable to attend the match this weekend because he had a conflicting schedule? No that wasn't the problem, the problem was the virtual sword god himself would be in the match. That's why he made up an excuse and had lied to him.

In the middle of Bill rambling on about his brother to Hastam, Hastam started to laugh out loud as he felt like he had just uncovered one of the biggest secrets in the world.

”Huh, did I say something funny?” Bill asked.

”Oh sorry, please continue.” Hastam said.

Although Hastam felt like he had figured out this puzzle, he couldn't;t be a hundred percent sure. He was just connecting pieces but everything could have just been a coincidence.

But now he was even more excited to go to England.

”So what I was trying to say sir,” Bill said acting a little nervous now. ”If you think my brother is good enough, will you recommend him to a good university or even a pro team! I know he hasn't been playing long but, I've never seen my brother so excited about something before. And he's grown so quick it's unbelievable. I know he will be something special one day.”

Hearing Bill talk about Novis so patiently, was heartbreaking for Novis. His brother had never shown this side to him before, but for the last fifteen minutes, all Bill had done was sung his praises to Hastam.

Whenever Novis was effected by his emotions, Arthur and George could feel it too. Novis had often forgotten about this part. Having these feelings Arthur decided to act. He walked forward and placed his hand on Bill's shoulder.

”It sounds like your brother is really special, I'm positive he will make it one day,” Arthur said.

Suddenly, Hastam felt his whole theory was chucked away. Watching Arthur say that to Bill, he could tell the words were genuine. No one would be able to say those words about himself.

”And this is why you play games and you're not a detective,” Hastam mumbled.

Finally though, the time for the three of them to play had arrived. When they entered their match, the audience who were following the Virtual sword god was surprised to see Hastam.

”It's Hastam, wait does this mean that he has links to their pro team.”

”Maybe they have already recruited him and trying to keep it a secret from the other pro teams.”

”Are you crazy, reporters would have already been all over this by now if it was true. Remember the virtual sword god has played with Hastam once before.”

Inside the game, it was time for the team to pick lanes. The two random players they played with also knew of Hastam and the Virtual sword god's fame and said they were fine with wherever they wanted them to go, which made things easier.
