《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 165: Who do you Play?
Advertisement
The A team had just won their match, and that meant that they had one more game before being accepted by Titan university. Novis and Lucas were just one more step away. When Novis had exited out from the capsule, he went towards Lucas to catch up with him, and see how he did playing mid.
But what came as a surprise, was the three other players on their team had come over as well.
"We're sorry." All three of them said at once.
"We let the fact that our positions were higher than yours last year get the better of us." The girl said. "It's clear that both of you are better players than us and we only won that match so easily because of you two."
"We're sorry again and promise to listen to both of you in the next game." The baseball cap boy said.
"look no hard feelings," Said Lucas. "If I was in the same situation as you guys probably would have done the same."
'Especially if it was me from a year ago.' Lucas thought
The team then went into the stand to observe the next match. Lucas's face was especially serious as he watched the game. Using the screen above and watching form the virtual field, you were able to get multiple views of what was happening in the game.
Lucas knew the other team had been watching them so right now they both teams had an idea of what they were going up against and their team needed to do the same.
Although Novis seemed to be disinterested. This side of the game Novis didn't like. He found it fun when he didn't know what his opponent was going to do. The tough situation it put him, and how it would make him think on the spot, he enjoyed these aspects of the game the most.

While the rest of the team went to watch the other match. Novis went to the side, with the baseball cap boy to warm up. There were even a couple of wooden practise swords on the side for them to play with.
The two positions that Lucas was focusing on was Mid, and the top position for these were the two positions that Lucas and Novis would be playing in the next match. The team usually sent their strongest players into the middle lane and top lane.
The top was usually a one on one battle for the first part with no help from the others. Unlike the bottom lane, which was two on two. So it was essential for the person playing top to be of decent strength.
Then there was the middle lane. This lane was one of the most important because at any point and time it could change the tide of the game, going to support the people at the top or helping the people at the bottom. Not every team had a roamer going through the forest, so this would be the other option.
"Have you seen the top and mid pair before? They're wearing the same school uniform?" Lucas asked his teammates.
"I'm not sure they weren't in the national tournament." The girl replied.
Just as they were watching the game, an upset had occurred. The two unknowns had gone into another gear at the same time. The player in the middle was a rapier warrior. All of a sudden, at just the right time he was deflecting all the other player's attacks and attacking back at the right time. It looked like an adult going up against a child.
The player's teammate who was at top lane was a short sword and shield warrior. In a similar style to the rapier user in mid, he started to block the opponent's attacks perfectly. Each time striking back at just the right time. The two of them had dealt with their opponents just as quickly as Novis and Lucas.

"But how is this possible?" The girl said. "Team B had so many players I heard off before, but team C, I've never even seen those two."
"Did you not learn from our game right now, this is a place for the best of the best. It doesn't matter who or what place you got last year. Everything is about what you do now." Lucas said.
The two players on the c team then went down to help out their other players in the bottom lane, and the game quickly ended.
Before the next game had begun, Team A were busy doing their stretches. Novis was the most active out of them all doing Push ups, sit-ups and Burpees. The others looked at him like a fitness maniac.
"Hey don't wear yourself out before the game." The baseball boy said.
"Don't worry, this is not even half of my normal warm-up routine. If I sit around and do nothing, I feel like I'm going stiff, especially in that pod." Novis replied.
'I heard that your physical fitness can make a difference in the game but does it really make that much of a difference?' The baseball boy thought.
The team were discussing their new positions, and this time when Novis asked to go Mid there were no complaints from the others. Lucas, on the other hand, had asked the team if there was any position, they would like him to fill and they immediately asked him to go top and allow the rest of the team to be dealt with by them three.
They had seen the other players fighting from Team C and knew only Novis and Lucas stood a chance. The people who they thought they would have to drag through with them to the finals. Were now carrying them.
"Hey so before we play." The girl said to Novis. "I saw your sword skills earlier, so I'm guessing you play a swordsman, right? What warrior do you play?"
"Heros Puer," Novis replied.
"Wait, what!" She said with her mouth wide open. "Hey, seriously I don't want us to lose this game right now. Can you please pick someone who is more useful or stop joking around?"
"But I'm being serious," said Novis. "Ever since I really started playing the game, I've only played as him."
Just then the others had heard what Noivs had said, but they thought they must have misheard. But still, they had to ask just to make sure they weren't hearing things.
"Um, Novis, how long have you been playing this game?" The baseball boy asked.
The reason why they had this suspicion is that they knew that the warrior that Novis was playing with, had only been out for two years in total.
"Around two years ago," Novis replied a little embarrassed.
The others didn't know what to feel. Just when they were feeling confident in his skills, they now were unsure. After all, it could have just been a fluke what Novis had done, or even so, it might have just been the other players being really bad.
Most of them had played the game for at least 6 years minimum, but even that was considered a short period.
Finally, it was time for the last game between the two teams. Team A vs Team C.

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.
