Slowly Novis started to open his heavy eyelids, his vision was slowly returning and all he could see was a grey murky ceiling.
"Where am I?" Novis said as he lifted himself off the ground. As he did though a shooting pain could be felt in his chest. He grabbed hold of it with one arm expecting a scar but nothing was there.
"Slow down you're still hurt," Ashley said.
"What happened to ?"
"You nearly gave a heart attack boy, if you were out on the floor any longer I would have called an ambulance," Daiki said as he started laughing out loud. "But you did as I told, you stood your ground, how do you feel?"
Novis looked around the room and noticed he was inside the dojo on the floor, the students were outside still busy practising away. The last thing he could rember was being chucked through the
As Novis looked at the Dojo door he could see the sliding panels had been bent out of place form where his body had hit them.
"Don't worry about that boy." Daiki said, "The amount of money you have made for the dojo, I won't go charging you for sothing like that."
"I wouldn't expect you to, you were the one who threw through the thing in the first place." Novis wanted to say out loud.
As Novis tried to move, he again felt a huge pain in his chest, when he thought back to what happened he couldn't rember much apart from the fear of being struck by the sword energy.
"To be honest I'm just in a lot of pain right now."
"Novis perhaps your body is not strong enough for sword energy yet," George said.
Novis imdiately turned his head and started to stare at George. After what just happened, when the two of them said they would protect him, Novis didn't want to really want to take their advice anymore.
"Look hear out," George said with a nervous smile. "Form our world we know that the bodies strengthening condition is important to improve your sword energy power. I don't think Daiki's idea of you taking hits from the sword energy is a bad one, just right now you're too weak to even take on a hit."
"Yes, it seems like we might have focused on your conditioning and fitness too much," Arthur added.
As Novis looked at himself, he could see they were right. Novis was fitter than most kids now and he had the reflexes to go with it, but he was still only 15 and was just starting to fill out. There wasn't much muscle on his body at all.
"What are they saying to you boy," Daiki asked seeing that Novis seed to be in the middle of a conversation. All though to the outside world, it looked Novis was just moving his head around the room and nodding constantly.
"They said I need a stronger body, strong enough to at least withstand the attack of your sword energy."
"I definitely agree with that. When I was younger my body went through all sorts of hardships, it what gave my lovely guns today." Daiki said as he tensed his bicep. "Well it doesn't look like you're in any condition to do anything today, get so rest and I'll try to make a plan for you to follow for the next few days and next ti your ready will try this again."
Novis then laid back down on the mats for an awhile and after a few minutes, he could move again. Although his body was sore at least he was able to make his way ho on his own.
After a slow and painful walk ho, all Novis wanted to do was lie in his bed. He was hoping he would have made so progress with Daiki but it seed like he had just taken a step backwards and now with his body injured who knew when he would be able to train at full strength again.
As Novis laid down on his bed he looked at the pod next to him, he started to rember the feeling of the pod inside. The cushions were top-notch quality and whenever he was inside, he felt like he was sleeping on clouds. So instead of lying on the bed, he decided to climb into the pod and rest his eyes.
"Hey, Novis while you in here, feel free to rest but do you mind if and Arthur play a few gas?" George asked
Novis was beat for the day and didn't want to do anything but rest, the last thing he was thinking about was playing a few gas but if Arthur and George wanted to play, he didn't see a problem with that.
The last ti Novis had played with them, he had discovered the fact that the whole world was looking for this so-called virtual sword god player and had decided to let Arthur and George take a break hoping the world would forget about them.
"Yeah sure, why don't you two play a few gas."
Although it had been a while since the player ID Pendragon had co online, no one had forgotten about him. The fact that the player only gas online once in a while made it an even bigger event than usual.
"It's him!"
"The virtual sword god is back!"
"Quick guys start recording, can't wait to see him get out of diamond and go up to the god tier!"
"Yeah but at the rate he cos online it will be months before that."
Novis then switched control and allowed Arthur to play the ga. Before Novis used to control most of the settings of the ga and then only switch over control when actually in a match. But Arthur had seen Novis do everything so many tis by now, he was able to do everything himself.
When Arthur logged into the ga though, Novis's brother Bill and Hastam had been notified. They too were keeping an eye on him. In that instant, both of them had sent a party invite.
"Hey I know you said we wouldn't be able to et, but I was thinking before I co to England I could play a few matches with you?" Hastam asked.
And at the sa ti, his brother had sent him a ssage.
"Thank you so much for accepting my friend request. I hate to ask this but it would be an honour if I and you could play together." Bill asked.
"What would you like to do?" Arthur asked Novis.
Novis didn't want to upset his brother and at the sa ti, he felt bad for lying to Hastam last ti about not being able to make it. In the end, Novis had co up with an idea.
They had accepted Hastam invite and were teleported to a blue party room.
"Hey I wasn't expecting you to accept my party invite," Hastam said.
"There I a person I would like to invite, do you mind?" Arthur asked.
"Sure, go ahead, a friend of yours is a friend fo mine."
In truth, Hastam was dead excited about who the Virtual sword god would be inviting. If it was soone he knew it would have to be a great player.
Then when Bill had entered the room, Hatsam's excitent quickly died down. Hastam knew who Bill was, or at least to the extent that everyone else knew who Bill was. In the last ga, many people had seen Arthur accept Bill's invite.
This caused a wide search for the player ID Billybill, when they found Bill was only a student in middle school, their hope was quickly lost and they just assud it was a random acceptance.
But that's when a thought hit Hastam. Wasn't the virtual sword god also a student? Maybe the fact that he had accepted the invite wasn't random after all. From the reaction in the video, it seed like Bill didn't know who the Virtual sword god was, if the Virtual sword god was keeping his identity secret then perhaps the two knew each other in so way.
When Bill entered the room, he was completely starstruck, not only was he with his Idol, but he was also standing in front of a Pro player. He was practically in a ga with two celebrities.
"I'm a huge fan of yours Hastam, I learnt a lot form your live streams," Bill said.
"Thank you, it's always nice to et a fan, hey I know, where are you from?" Hastam asked.
"Ennnn England," Bill said nervously.
"Oh what a nice surprise, I'm actually going to England this weekend to host a ga, I happen to have so free tickets, if you're in the area maybe we can et each other?"
"That would be great!" Bill shouted.
"That's great, it's part of the Berkshire tournant."
"Wait did you say? Berkshire tournant." Bill interrupted. "That's my county, I live in that area. My brothers in that tournant too, this is amazing!"
Novis did not like where this conversation was going, not one bit.
