CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BEEN PROMOTED TO TIER 2! 

Rudra yelped in joy as he made wierd noises ..... A wave of strength entered his body as a qualitative change occured between himself at the same level before and now. He was far far more stronger ! 

Rudra's heart stopped when he saw the first criteria, completion time .... He was 2 minutes away from getting a SS rating there. Should he have known time would be a factor he would have literally rode like the wind to and fro , and not soo lethargically as he did. 

If he was even a tad bit slower , he would have .... No it was terrifying to even think about. 

He also got a SS in knights upholding a knights honor. It was most likely because of the damn kid! 

Thankfully everything else was SSS rated , bringing his overall rating to a SSS ! 

A tear escaped Rudra's eyes , his dream to have a legendary class was still alive! He was not a wastrel like his past life , this time around he did have a chance to change everything , a chance to stand at the peak ! The chance to one day be a legendary class player that could shake kingdoms! 

The attendant said " you have had a SSS evaluation, you get to freely choose one normal skill and one class specific skill ! , Here are the possible list of skills for tier 2 promotion , choose wisely adventurer ". 

The skills offered in tier 2 promotion would mostly be different from the skills offered after tier one promotion. The skills getting stronger , there were hardly any repetitions in the list. 

List of normal skills : 

1) Mega punch : A strong martial arts skill , that allows the user to deal a boulder crushing punch ! Could add to the versatility of attacks if used properly. 

2)Leaf blade hurricane : A sword skill that mimics the fall of leaves in autumn , it is unpredictable and hard to defend against ! It does not deal deathly blows , but chips damage against enemies and may cause a bleeding effect. 

3) Three step barrage : A deathly sword or javelin skill , it is a three step combination move , with the third one sure to be a critical hit if the first two connect. Deals heavy damage to the opponent! 

4) Swift retreat : A technique to tactically fall back while parrying enemies attacks to create distance without taking damage. A great move to add versatility in the skill set of a knight.

5) Head on : A skill to head on take the enemy attack head on with a 60% damage reduction. Can prove to be a great move to be in the posession of a knight specialising in one on one duels. 

CLASS SPECIFIC SKILLS: 

[ Last stand ] ( Knight Class specific) : Gives the knight 5 seconds of immortality , after the HP hits 0 . 

Take a stand against dark forces , and see through the battle to the end , even after you die!!

Cooldown time : once a day 

[ Full counter ] ( Knight class specific ) : Return a magical attack sent towards you back to the caster with twice the power! 

Show those long range attackers the terrifying might of a knight! 

Cooldown time : 2 minutes ! 

[ Note : choose one skill from each section ] 

Rudra had a tough choice to make .... What skills to add to his arsenal? All of them were usefull!

( Cuber corporation , unknown location , real world) 

Cuber officials meeting : " the countries are requesting mock training grounds for practice for the coming VR Olympics..... What should we do about this request? ". 

Cuber official two : " well I think it is a reasonable request .... I think we should grant it , the mechanics behind it are simple enough anyway ... We can make a semi admin profile and give it to one government appointed representative from each country and give them access to their countries mock training ground . 

They can also have the option to invite their nations players to the mock training ground. The players would recieve a notification that they have been invited to the countries training grounds and if they choose to accept they would then be transported to the place. 

The training and results can be monitored by gaia , as she can provide each country with secure reliable statistics but no opinions , only functioning as a unbiased refree . 

The players can then transport back to their guild halls at will .... ". 

Cuber official three " I'm in support of the proposal , It will hardly take a day's work to set up .... All those in favour please raise your hand ". 

All 20 hands in the room were raised ..... The motion to provide mock training grounds to the countries was approved! 

Gaia was informed of her task to make the exact same training facility for all the countries , as well as provide with accurate measuring standards. 

She understood the assignment and got to work , on building a model ! 

Meanwhile UN released a statement , that the request of the countries to have a mock training ground was approved , and that a semi admin account responsible for operation of the training ground would be handed over to one government official appointed by each country in three buisness days , with the detail function training given to that appointed official .

Another high level official meeting hence commenced worldwide , to decide the future direction and holding the selections for the nation's representatives in the VR Olympics.
