Chapter 274: The world reacts (1/2)
Parallax kept staring blankly at the screen for a while , he was stupefied , he wanted to beleive that maybe it was fluke , that maybe the guy had been lucky when he cleared floor 70 .
However reality slapped him hard when he looked at the videos of Shakuni climbing , the guy cleared floor 70 with over 30 seconds to spare , he was in a league of his own.
He was unwilling to admit it , he wanted to say that maybe that guy cheated , but it was not possible to cheat in Omega. Gaia did not let anyone cheat. It was overall a hard pill to swallow , but the truth was that if Rudra had been allowed to climb further , he would have easily crossed floor 75 at the least.
Parallax was not a man with weak will , and such losses will not detrack him , however he did take extreme pride in being called the best in the world , now he never said it explicitly himself , but he sure beleived that way. Now , when he could not proove that he was best in the world with his performance , and that there was someone even better , it broadened his horizons. He understood that the worldstage was much bigger than he anticipated , and that he would have to work harder to get the gold.
Bitterly accepting silver medal for his first event , he swore to make a strong comeback , in the second one!

( The True Elites headquarters , Real world )
The Elites had gathered in the floor 60 guild hall. Where they had set up a massive screen , they were collectively watching the Olympics and cheering on their teammates.
When Neatwit secured a medal , the crowd inside went ballistic and whistles and cheers rained supreme in the hall. However , the guild hall descended to mayhem when Rudra won the gold medal.
The guild members always knew that their guild leader was a strong player , but his performance on the world stage just showed , exactly how strong of a player he was.
Cool and claculating , he sure took his time to advance , however when he did , he made sure to do it with style. The respect they had in their hearts for the guild master just went up by tenflod.
Karna grinned wide looking at the screen , his buddies Neatwit and Shakuni had stolen the show with their first day appearance , he felt pumped for his own event now. He wanted to win a medal too.
This was not just for Karna , everyone in Japan currently felt this , Rudra's victory gave a lot of confidence to te Japanese , who wanted to recreate more and more of his success. Ethan had long anticipated this , hence he wanted Rudra to change his demeanor , to make him cold and unreachable , soo that all those who wanted to be like him would continue to strive harder , thinking that the peak is too far.
The Japanese and world media were all over Rudra now , from his birth , to every notable event that he was a part of In Omega , everything was being broadcasted , as the show got good ratings , because the world wanted to know more about the guild leader of the True Elites.
Rudra was invited for a small medal ceremony by the cuber officials , who wanted to strap the gold medal on his neck , Rudra and Neatwit accepted their invites however Parallax did not. Hence , in the medal ceremony , the cuber official crowned the two Elites with their medals.
Neatwit made a V sign on the podium , whole Rudra raised his hand , his fist balled up and only one finger pointing at the sky! He was telling the whole world he was number 1 !
With Parallax not present , this photo was definitely going on the guild wall. Neatwit was not unhappy about winning bronze , but he was unhappy that the gap between him and silver was soo large. He vowed to improove ! However , he was genuinely happy for Rudra , to whom he gave a bear hug for his win. The two had a good relationship.
Rudra logged out of Omega after the medal Ceremony , as he wanted to lay low for his off day before the third day where he had to participate in the one v one fight competition.
For now he wanted to look at Fatty Kalash and Sir Jhonny's blacksmithing event live. As he walked down the stairs of his room , he saw his mom , dad and little brother standing there waiting for him. His mom had tears in her eyes , while Max's eyes were gleaming in admiration. Father Rajput was happy too , but tried his best to mentain a indifferent expression.
Mother Rajput weakly said ” Congratulations...”.
Rudra went on and hugged his mom , he was happy that she was proud , but she did not need to stress over it , it was alright nothing too big.
Max tried to get between the two people hugging as he kept saying ” Big brother big brother you are soo cool.... I want to be like you when I grow up ”.
These words melted Rudra's heart , little did max know how much his ears wanted to hear these words in his past life , looking back , he felt he changed a lot eh!
