A week had passed since the announcement of the new character Heros Puer. As Bill predicted, many people had complained online about the character. They didn't understand why the company would create a character who had no skills. Even the pros of the game were confused.

Many experts predicted that the Warriors release would flop and would end up in the low tier pile with many of the others.

Novis woke up and was more excited than ever, as today was going to be the first day where he would play the new character. He hadn't touched the game in months, with days and nights of endless training, today he was going to break his long-running streak.

Unfortunately for him, today was a school day, so Novis would have to wait until he got home from school.

While Novis was at school he couldn't focus on any of his lessons, for he only had one thing on his mind. This only made the day go even slower for Novis.

The bell finally rang signalling it was the end of school. Novis picked up his bag and started to rush out towards the door, when suddenly a hand blocked his way from the door. He looked up and it was Mr White.

"I believe you are forgetting something Novis?" Mr White said while pointing at the whitebored.

On the whiteboard was Novis's name with a few other Kids names. Today he was on cleaning duty with other students. The class would switch between students weekly on who would clean the classroom at the end of the day and today was Novis's turn.

Novis put his bag down and began cleaning, He had waited this long so a little longer wouldn't hurt.

Meanwhile, in the VSW Club, an argument was taking place. The members have currently huddled around in a circle. Scarlett was also in the circle as she had now become a regular member of the club. Two people currently stood on opposite ends of each other inside the circle.

One of them was the club leader Alex who had invited Scarlett to join the club. The other one was Mac. Mac was a third-year student. He was a big bald-headed muscle head around six foot tall. The two of them were currently discussing who should be the leader of the club. Usually, third-year students where selected as leaders but the VSW club was different.

The club members had decided to vote for Alex. Many of them had been bullied by Mac and Alex was known for his smart tactics. But there were a few people who disagreed with this decision and thought the strongest VSW player should be the leader. Alex was currently ranked Silver five in the game while Mac was ranked Silver one.

"I currently hold the highest rank in this school so I should be leader, not some weak ass like you!" Mac said.

Alex remained silent; he didn't like confrontation. He didn't even know how he got into this situation in the first place.

Scarlett knew Alex's personality. She was getting angry at Mac and said,

"We all had a vote and chose Alex as our leader; besides it doesn't matter how strong you are, it's a team game."

"Who asked you." Mac said, "You know what you are right, it is a team game, and as this school's strongest player I want to have the right to fight for the leader's position. If that doesn't happen, I'm quitting the club and you can go to the tournament without me."

The Towns local VSW tournament for schools was coming up soon and they needed Mac. Like he had said he was a big part of the team as he was the strongest player. Many members thought that there was no harm in letting mac be the leader as long as they could get a good position in the tournament.

"Fine. I'll fight you." Alex could feel the pressure and had to give in. If it was his fault that their best player had left the team. Many others would start to leave and they would have no chance in the tournament.

Although Alex could just lose the game on purpose to Mac. Alex wasn't like that. He truly loved the game and wanted to put Mac in his place. Many others including him had been pushed around by Mac while in school but in the game it was different. Where skill, reaction time and strategy were taken into account, Alex could change the situation around.

As the two of them put on their VR headsets the game began to project on the wall of the room. The members set this up so they could see the outcome of the game.

Alex selected the Warrior Gladio. Gladio was a roman soldier who used a short sword and a round circular shield. Mac Selected the character Krang. Krang was the same character that Novis had used the first time he had played the game. An eight-foot Viking who used a giant Hammer bigger than himself as a weapon.

The Game started and the two of them went down the middle lane. Alex was faster and ran towards the centre forest as quick as he could. Mac was slow but was in no rush.

Alex had memorized all of Karang skills but wasn't confident in countering them. At least this way he would be able to tell when Mac was using a skill and react to it.

He waited for Mac to reach the middle, as soon as his back was turned, he rushed in for an attack. Mac had already expected this when he saw that Alex was not by his tower. Mac was already casting a skill. As Mac lifted his hammer into the air Alex jumped back a few steps.

The hammer smashed against the ground but no harm had come to Alex. Alex then dashed in with a few slashes towards Mac's back. Mac cast another skill swinging his hammer in a circle causing his body to spin.

Alex didn't have time to jump back so he raised his shield. But the shield was far too weak and Mac's hammer was far too strong, causing the shield to smash out of Alex's hand.

Mac's hammer continued spinning as was on course to smash into Alex's head.

Alex didn't do something he would lose the match.
