Rounds after rounds of dodging ensued , SMG and his team won them all , sotis it would be a breeze and sotis it would be a pinch . However little by little the team's performance improved in the event , as strategies were starting to be made , and enemy's were sabotaged.
SMG himself started to do better , he was nimble on his feet and started to get into the rhythm of dodging , although the use of palms and feet to defend was allowed , SMG did not want to use the privilage.
So gas he would be eliminated because he did not dodge fast enough , while in so a ball would just barely nick a body part and he would be eliminated.
However ga after ga , the improvent was visible , after proper training and technique that made use of hands and feet , SMG would perform much better .
This was just the kind of growth Rudra wanted in his guild mbers from the VR Olympics , SMG would co out of the event as a complete dodging beast , no sword would be able to catch his movent.
SMG and his seeded squad finally qualified as National representatives!
--------
( anwhile , in the capture the flag event )
Karna had gone for the big central flag first.?His strategy was to secure the five big points first , and then just broaden the lead right from the get-go.
The team was divided into assault and defense. Patch and Jin Mori and Cola were Defense , guarding the base and the flag.
While , everyone except Jhonny English and divh was Assault squad.
Jhonny and divh , were the special force unit , that was tasked to join either attack or defense as required , while their main job was that of a scout.
The centre was a bloodbath , However , Karna and the group was able to secure the central flag for the first exchange.
While the team retreated , the swarms of attackers were held back by the sepcial units , Jhonny and divh.
divh casted a earth spell , and made a mud wall regularly in the path of retreat , while Jhonny sprinkled Spikes laced with poison on the ground
The duo made the life of the pursuers a lot harder , ane gave enough ti for the assault squad to safely retreat to base and draw battle formation.
Now the ten man squad at its full glory were ready to defend the flag untill respawn . Although many parties were present , none of them recklessly engaged , as sooner or later the flag would respawn , however the death of mbers could never be compensated.
Hence most leaders chose to retreat , and wait to fight it out again in the central area. However there were always so brainless idiots , who would choose to fight nonetheless.
These idiots were slaughtered by Karna's team. The white flag dissapeared , and 5 points was displayed at their base's display board.
They were top of the leaderboard , with these 5 points secured.
Karna knew that fighting for the white flag again at this specific mont was stupidity , all ten mbers of his team were back near the base , whereas many squads were already at the central area where the flag had spawned.
Hence he chose to instead raid the nearest flag base of yellow team. In a simmilar attack formation , the five assaulters followed in a short distance by Jhonny and divh , sward the 3 n guarding yellow base.
The three were no match for Karna and other top 10 players , as they were cut through like knife in butter.
Yellow teams flag was then taken , and given to Jhonny and divh , to take back to base. The assault squad was planning to go onto purple squads base and steal their flag too before retreating.
Jhonny took the flag , and he and divh retreated , when divh noticed that they had pursuers on his tail. Using communication magic , the defenders at the base were inford of this developnt.
This is where Patch Mori showed his class as a Zombiemancer. Summoning over 50 zombies , a entire unit stood guard in protecting the base.
When the enemy closed in , they were terrified to see 50 zombies guarding the area. Clad in armour , and standing in formation ,one could tell that they were not mindless monsters at all.
Patch Mori showed precise control as the zombies surrounded and killed the pursuers very thodically. Jhonny placed the flag in the base area and after a while a 1 mark showed in the base tally.
Overall the capture the flag event was running smoothly , as Karna also ca back with purple team flag.
The team then stuck to raiding these two bases ti and ti again , till after their third attack all the mbers of the base died . Unexpectedly upon destroying a base , they found out that 2 points were awarded.
They took back the white flag two more tis and solidified their overall lead at 25 points above number two position with only 10 minutes remaining.
With all 10 mbers alive , it was a decent performance overall. However it was far from perfect. A lot of mistakes were made and the overall battle plan was not 100% efficient. Karna had a lot of learning to do.
Unsurprisingly at the end with a lead of 22 points the team took the number one spot and hence earned their right to beco japanese representatives.
With this the selections ca to an end. All the events representatives for japan had been completed , and from the next day onwards only training would ensue.
The final list of participants was published , and a training schedule where one would train atleast 3 hours a day inside the training camp was mandatorily imposed for the entire month of November.
Rudra was looking forward to this period , the governnt's support towards developnt of each player would be at the highest in this month. Good skills good sparring partners , good armour , anything and everything would be given , as long as he needed it.
Rudra had to only place a demand and the country would do it's best to procure it for him. Such was the importance of the gold dal for the nation .
A total of 23 Elites were selected in a total of 29 events , it was a number that made Rudra proud , his guild had a high representatives number , with the world watching , it was sure to leave a impression in the minds of all players.
As a result of the announcent of the VR Olympics , the prices of commodities such as potions and blacksmithing items like armour and swords had skyrocketed.
Epic and above rated items were selling at the prices of real world islands , as countries were paying insane amounts of money to procure anything that could be helpful to the players.
So items were forced off from low level players , while so items were stolen from others , but as long as it helped the players , the country would sully their hands and make sure that they got it for the players.
Mithun Ambani spent a fortune on acquiring good equipnt for his people. He spend billions of dollars this ti around , and only chose from the best of the best .
However contrary to his situation , The Elites lifestyle guild was bathing in money . The potion selling buisness had seen them selling a single advanced mana potion for 500 coins and still the stock would sell out everyday.
The guild was making more money than it ever imagined as profit margins for products stopped making sense after a while. 500% margin 600% margin , yet they would sell out the mont they were put for sale.
Being a 30% owner of the guild , Ethan Grey was actually making money everyday , contrary to Mithun loosing everyday , even though Ethan was literally spending more money on the Elites.
The ten billion dollar equipnt the VR pods had just been delivered to the upside and as Rudra was still inside the ga , one unit was carefully installed in his room and one in his office , as they awaited further instructions.
It seed like the gears were turning at a faster speed than ever , real world cri saw a spike as the knowledge that so friend possesed a rare item worth big money , motivated people to commit cri to extort money.
The governnts of various countries were aware of this developnt , however with the cuber corporation being in-charge of the future VR Olympics event , no country wanted to take a action just one month prior to the event.
The hype within the general public was insane about the VR Olympics , the growing popularity of Oga saw many viewers following Oga news daily.
With the Olympics drawing closer it was a world attraction now , as analysis about the various events and various participants was made daily.
Although not every country made their list of participants public , as that would be a very dumb move. To let the world know your opposition ahead of ti and let them prepare for it, so big nas did personally reveal their participation in certain events. So just wanted the attention , while so were bluffing about their involvent , either way the dia tried to interview all potential participants .
Only one month remained till the start of VR Olympics , all teams were made , and training had started for them all. After this single month , at the VR Olympics the fate of each country would be at the hands of a certain few players.
