Rudra had won his match , that meant another gold medal for Japan , his second one for the nation , yet another one for the Elites. The crowd went absolutely ballistic for his win , as he was scheduled to be interviewed next , on live tv first time ever.
Ethan Grey who was watching in attendance was left breathless by Rudra's performance , as his mind quickly started to calculate his Immeasureable gains.
His only regret now was that why did he not bet more? , Rudra absolutely smashed his expectations out of the box with today's performace , his respect for the man grew day by day , at the rate the Elites were performing , it seemed as if they would definitely deliver the Veto seat for Japan!
A simmilar situation developed inside the generals conference room, as they celebrated yet another win for Japan in the VR Olympics , president Abe Shinzo , was visibly elated as he could not hide his grin. Things looked smooth sailing for the country at the top of the medals tally.

( Rudra's interview ,live from the grand collosseum )
Martin Tyler : Congratulations on the big win guild leader Shakuni , let the viewers at home know your thoughts on the match ....
Rudra : Well Martin , it was a good fight , I think it's a finals that the fans would remember more fondly as time goes on , as it was good action , overall I was dominant , ofcourse nightmare is a terrific opponent and he fought well , but the results came out in my favour.
Martin Tyler : well everytime you were in a bit of a pickle there , you always bring out a new move ... A new counter , it catches your opponents by surprise and makes us viewers wonder , just how many moves have you hidden?
Rudra : Haha , Martin , to be honest I was never in a pickle , I have never been in one , I'm a guy who comes down in a fight with a plan A , B , C , D , E .... Even plan freaking Z. I'm never out of options , never fight from a corner , ofcourse I'm different from the young lads who are showy , I'm a guy who preffers to keep his cards hidden. It's use is the most effective that way .
Martin Tyler : But do you have more secrets ... Or did you try your best in this fight ?
Rudra : Never gave my 100% , next question Martin , no follow-ups.
( It was true , Rudra never used moves like Swift retreat , using which during the onslaught that forced him to take nearly 80,000 HP in damage would have reduced it to 0. He was fighting at 85% potential , however he never tried his best.)
Martin Tyler : Alright , then let me ask you , how do you feel about the performance of your guild soo far in the Olympics , ofcourse they have all gotten stellar results ... Today along with your gold medal , it's another one from Karna and a silver from Neatwit. Which makes it 2 gold's and one silver for japan , and for the Elites , what are your thoughts on this?
Rudra : Naturally it gives me immense joy and pleasure , its an honor to command a guild and a group of talent like the Elites , the amount of potential those guys have is incredible , however in organization's such as first rate guilds and super guilds , these talents do not get the proper attention and nurturing they need to properly grow .... However inside the Elites , we only accept a few and we focus on making the bunch of us strong enough to take on the world. Naturally the results speak for itself.
Martin Tyler : Well one of your guilds members , Kalash , has remarked that you make the guild members train like hell .... To what extent is this true ... And is it the reason behind your success?
Rudra : Haha , it's not that hard.... Kalash likes to exaggerate , the training has been hard on him because I ask them to do physical excercises and he is a little weak in the department. But no I can't take credit for their hardwork , it's them who put in the effort , and them who bring home glory.
Martin Tyler : Alright , last question , how many medals do you think the Elites will bag before the Olympics end ?
Rudra : I'm glad you asked this Martin
( Rudra's smiling expression changes to a dead serious one)
Rudra : As many as it takes to become number one... You lads watching this at home , don't let me down eh .
The Elites members watching at home , had goosebumps on their skin after this warning , as they gulped nervously .
Martin Tyler : Haha , well said , cheers man , thankyou for your time. Congratulations on the win .
Rudra : Thankyou Martin , cheers to you as well.
