《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 67: Cut out
Advertisement
Once the bus had taken the team back to school, they all got off and said their goodbyes. It was still the weekend and each member was exhausted. Although they didn't physically do anything the nerves and tension tired them out greatly.
When Novis finally arrived home, he went straight into the fridge to grab a snack and bite to eat. Novis grabbed as many items as he could hold to take into his room. Like he was about to go hibernating for the winter.
"I'll let it slide this time but, in the future, you really need to eat the right food in order to allow your body to grow properly," Arthur said.
George was shaking his head as he looked at Novis.
"Look you guys, it's been a tough night and I think I deserve this after a hard-earned victory."
"Didn't Ashley do all the work?" George said. "As expected from a student of mine."
"Whatever," Novis said as he closed the fridge.
Novis was happy that Ashley had done well but was upset that no one was praising him for his part in the match. He was an important part of the team but it felt like no one realised that.
"Hey bro," Bill said as he entered the kitchen.
Novis and Bill hadn't seen each other for a full-on week and a half. Bill spent every spare second he had playing the game or going to school. So, unless Novis or Bill wanted to speak to each other there were no instances where they would see each other. Incept when they would bump into each other to get food like this.
Although Bill this time had actually purposely come down after hearing Novis enter through the front door.
"How did your match go today? it was the tournament right, against Eton?"

Novis started to smile.
"Of course, thanks to me, our team managed to pull out an easy victory."
"What are you serious, isn't Eton quite a strong school? One of my friends older brother goes there and he's on the team, I think he said he was a gold rank or something."
Novis then realised that the brother he was talking about had to be the opponent he faced on top.
"Ah, I went against a gold player and silver player on top, maybe it was the same guy?"
"You faced two people on your own? A gold and silver. I know you got a lot better at the game but you do know I can watch the match to see if you're lying?"
"We can watch the game?"
Novis and Bill then went into Bill's room and logged on to the VSW website. They had a section on the website that displayed all the games going on for the tournament in every country in the world. When they finally narrowed it down to the county and country that Novis school was in they could see the match result.
The matches in the tournament were played locally on the school's system rather than online. This meant that no matter how many games were won in the tournament, it wouldn't affect your rank online. This was set up because in the tournament some schools would have players that were diamond, while maybe others on their team were only silver.
While online tried to keep you playing against an even playing field and people of a similar skill level, the school tournament was different. It was designed to just find out who was the strongest school regardless of the skill gap between players.
As Novis had said Bill could see that Montem had beaten Eton, and not only had they beaten Eton, Bill was shocked that the result of the game was 5 – 0. Meaning five players were left alive on Montem's side while none were left alive on Eton's side.

Right next to the result it had a little play video button so they could watch the match. As the two of them watched the video together Novis soon realised that he wasn't in the video at all. The video recording was the exact same recording that was displayed in the Gym.
The recording only showed details of the most action-packed scenes during the game. Which meant there was none of Novis.
"Bro, why where you bragging when it was your team that carried you?
"What is this crap! The stupid video doesn't even show anything I did. I promise you I was the one who had the most important job."
Bill continued to watch the video and was impressed by Ashley's skill defeating three opponents so quickly and also the strategy used by Dan going through the forest. Bill had come to the conclusion that the team must have had a good strategist to be able to sync everything together and he knew that person wasn't Novis.
As they continued to watch the video Novis shouted "Stop! Right here."
The video had stopped at the point where Dan was in the air ready to punch the Mu Samu player.
"I know it was a good surprise attack and nice speed but why did you yell and tell me to stop?" Bill asked.
"Can't you see? Look closer right here." Novis said as he pointed towards the Mu Samu blade.
The camera only showed Part of Mu Samu blade and mostly showed Dan in the air so it was very hard to make out.
"Are you talking about those weird bumps on his sword." Bill could see what Novis was talking about but was enjoying teasing his brother.
"That was me, it was my chain blade. I wrapped them around his sword. It was the only reason why Dan could even beat him up in the first place was because I had him held down."
Bill gave Novis a straight face look. Which nearly drove Novis crazy. Novis then went storming out of the room mumbling to himself.
As soon as Novis had left the room Bill started to laugh.
"I know you did well brother, it's a shame the video cut you completely out of the shot but if you continue improving fast like this soon everyone will know your name."
Novis entered his room in a bad mood. He couldn't believe that the cameras showed nothing but the other fighters. Even Alex and Scarlett got a little limelight when Ashley defeated the enemy team but it was as if the camera was allergic to him. Doing everything it could to cut him out of the picture.
As Novis laid down on his bed to calm down. George's spirit floated in front of him.
"What do you want?" Novis said as he wasn't in the mood for George jokes.
"Novis, did you know your brother is a chosen one?"
"What did you say?"
