《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 112: Getting Angry
Advertisement
Novis was laid flat out on his bed, slowly closing his eyes. For some reason, he had trouble sleeping more than usual today. Most likely due to all the excitement he had. He couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened and the new skill he was going to learn.
After struggling to sleep for 30 minutes, eventually, he had finally shut his eyes. He was once again in the open green field with the slightly tall grass and clear blue skies. It was a peaceful place and Novis wondered if it was a place that originally belonged in Arthur's world, he thought about bringing it up but Novis was always too shy to ask.
Standing in front of him was Arthur and George who both had their weapons ready held in their hands.
"How are we going to do this then?" Novis asked.
"I think it should be simple right, we just have to make you angry," George said with a sinister smile.
Suddenly, Before Novis could even react the two of them started to attack Novis out of nowhere. Novis dodged the first two attacks and then thought of his duel swords making them appear in his hands.
"What the hell are you doing! " Novis shouted.
"That's it Novis get angrier!" George said as he started to laugh like a madman going to attack Novis.
Again, Novis managed to block George's strike but then both of his hands were tied up and he was unable to block Arthurs, causing him to be hit. Of course, Arthur and George were holding back with their speed and power just enough so Novis would feel over pressured.
They continued to do this to Novis hoping they would be able to spark something out of him but after doing this for over an hour it seemed like they were no results.

"Stop it," Novis said, "it's clearly not working."
George and Arthur put their swords away.
"Your right? Dam I really thought this would work." George said, "What about you Arthur, do you have any other ideas?"
Arthur thought about it for a while before answering.
"it seems like Novis is not the type of Berserker to get stronger by getting hurt or angry when in battle." Arthur then started to walk closer towards Novis as he looked through his memories. "Novis, when you were fighting Frank why did you act like that?"
"Why, well he was trying to hurt Scarlett of course." Then Novis realized just thinking about that suddenly was making him a little mad.
"Was there anything else though?" Arthur asked.
"It was because of what had just happened." Novis replied, "I saw Scarlett nearly getting hurt again, last time I couldn't do anything but I didn't want that it to happen again. I wanted to use everything I could to protect her."
"That's it!" Geroge shouted. "That feeling you have right now Novis you need to remember it, that feeling you had back then when you wanted to protect Scarlett, that is your emotional trigger, your anger."
Novis started to close his eyes and started to think back about the gun being pointed at Scarlett's head, all the feelings he felt at that time. As he continued to think about it his blood started to boil.
*whack.
"What did you do that for?" Novis said rubbing the back of his head.
While Novis was busy building up his rage, George had gone to hit Novis expecting him to react.
"Well, it's useless if you get angry and you can't move. What's the point of that." George replied.

The three of them continued their training now knowing what Novis's trigger was, the problem was Novis was fighting worse than before. While in the middle of the fight he was far too busy thinking about how to get angry. The thoughts were distracting him causing him to make all sorts of mistakes.
"I think we should stop there for today," Arthur said.
"but…" Although Novis wanted to contest, he knew he was getting nowhere. Novis was able to get angry when he thought about his friends getting hurt but it was hard for him to just flick a switch. Especially when in the middle of a fight.
Like Arthur and George, Novis needed to be able to flick his berserker mode like a switch. Usually, Novis wouldn't worry about it too much but they were running out of time, and there the match was only a few days away.
****
The next day Novis couldn't stop thinking about how to get angry. He started thinking about how he wished he was a big green giant in times like these. That man always seemed to be able to get angry.
Classes had finished for the day and it was time to head to the VSW club. The only problem was Novis was so stuck in his thoughts of trying to get angry, he didn't hear his name being called out from behind.
"Novis…Novis…NOVIS!" Scarlett shouted.
"WHAT!" Novis shouted back.
"What the hell, no need to shout like that?" Scarlett said. "Come on we need to go to the VSW club."
"Sorry I was too busy trying to get angry."
Although Scarlett wanted to find out what the hell Novis was going on about, she had learned long ago that Novis did strange things and decided to just leave it.
The two of them finally headed back to the VSW room and everyone had already gathered.
"What wrong Frank, shouldn't we start practicing?" Ashley asked.
The whole time while the other members wherein the Clubroom, Frank couldn't help himself but continuously stare at the door as if he was waiting for someone to come in at any moment.
"It's nothing don't worry about it, come on we need to practice," Frank said as each member put their VR headsets on.
"Looks like my talk didn't work after all." Frank thought.
The team entered a game and put their VR headsets on. Once the game had started the Club room door swung open and Alex entered the room. In his hand was a notepad and pen and he was prepared to write everything down he saw in the games. He wasn't going to let his team lose without putting up a fight.

The Head That Wears The Crown
It's a tale as old as time. Boy goes to funeral. Boy gets sucked into a different world. Boy has to lead a settlement. Boy has to lead a settlement? Boy has to lead a settlement. This is a story about that settlement, and some other stuff. Maybe. Disclaimer: Not sure if it qualifies enough for a gore tag. There is a description of someone's death somewhere in this, but I don't think it is descriptive enough to justify a gore tag. Disclaimer part deux: I initially started writing this as background for another story but got so into it I just ended fleshing it out a bit. Disclaimer part tres: People love reading disclaimers don't they? It's why I've included so many. They're just for you. Disclaimer part four: I know, this is getting egregious. You're starting to find it less funny. Just wait till the twentieth disclaimer, it will start being funny again. Disclaimer part five: I'm kidding, this is the last one. I don't promise I'll read every comment or message, but I certainly welcome your feedback. Disclaimer part six: I lied, it wasn't the last one. I wrote this story without breaking it down into chapters. It just goes, that means that the chapter ends when it ends, not when there is a convenient break in the story. That means that it's very annoying for you as a reader since chapters can end mid sentence. Hah! Sucker! Disclaimer part seven: Get ready for slow updates. Who knows when this will continue. Toss it on read later and come back in fifty years. Disclaimer part eight: Cover Photo by Arthur Ogleznev on Unsplash
