Scarlett knew she had no chance of beating Mac but she had one person who she might be able to rely on. That was Novis. She herself had never seen Novis play the ga, but Scarlett knew Novis well. Without putting any effort into anything he was always quite good at everything. He wasn't exceptional but better than average.
Scarlett had seen Novis put more effort into the ga than anything he had ever done before. So much that he even hired a professional coach. Even if Novis wasn't good at the ga there was always a chance he could beat Mac. Maybe Novis style would just be awkward for him.
Novis was in the classroom busy away cleaning trying to get this one blue mark off the whiteboard.
"Why won't this bleeding mark co off, did they use a permanent marker or sothing?" Novis said as he wiped the bored back and forth with a rag.
"Why don't you try spitting on it," Arthur suggested.
"You are disgusting you know that?"
"In our tis we spat on many things."
"Yeah well, now we have things like, cleaning liquid and soap."
After scrubbing at the sa spot for five minutes Novis was about to give up. He secretly spat on the rag and went to wipe the mark off the board. To his surprise, the mark ca off.
"Did I not tell you to do that a while ago?" Arthur said.
Novis stayed quiet. He didn't wish to give Arthur the pleasure of being right.
With the cleaning finished Novis got his bag and was ready to go ho. He began to smile and hum a song to himself as he left the classroom. Then he heard loud footsteps in the hallway.
"Wait!" Scarlett shouted.
Scarlett was huffing and panting away like she had just done a 100-ter sprint race.
"Woah calm down, what's wrong?"
"I'm.. so. Glad..I .foundyou." Scarlett said taking a deep breath between each word.
She had sprinted from the clubroom as fast as she could. She knew Novis was on cleaning duty today so she might have just missed him if she didn't hurry.
"Novis is your coach letting you play the ga yet?"
"Actually, I was going to go ho and play my first ga today," Novis said while smiling.
"That's great, co with ," Scarlett grabbed Novis by the wrist and started to lead him to the club room.
All the mbers were waiting patiently in the club room. Alex was currently sitting down in a chair. He was still unable to look anyone in the eye. But all hope was not lost. During the ti Alex spent with Scarlett in the club together, he had co to learn how great she was at the ga.
Her judgnt skills, her fast learning pace was brilliant. Perhaps this person she would bring would be really good at the ga. All Alex could do for now was hope. His future relied on this person after all.
The doors to the club room then slid open. Scarlett entered the room with a boy being led by the hand.
"Wait Scarlett, I don't even know where you're taking ."
As Alex saw the person behind Scarlett his heart sank a little. He rembered eting this person before and if he rembered correctly the person stated he was Bronze rank five at the ti. The lowest rank possible in the ga.
Alex needed to stay positive though. It had been a few months since the two of them last t. Perhaps his rank had improved and was naturally talented at the ga.
Scarlett dragged Novis to the centre of the room and pointed at Mac.
"This guy, I want you to play against him and beat him."
Novis looked at the huge student standing in front of him. It was hard for Novis to believe that Mac was truly 16 years old. Novis looked around the room and noticed that currently, all the mbers were present. He started to get nervous thinking of all the people watching him.
"Can't I just play him online at ho, why does it have to be now?" Novis said.
Scarlett held Novis's hand tightly, tears started to fall down from her big round eyes.
"Novis, if you don't win this, then he said he would kick out of the club."
Novis didn't really understand the situation he was in. After all, he had been dragged here against his will. But he did know sothing, Scarlett was upset. Novis liked the fact that Scarlett had enjoyed playing the ga, he even whished one day Him, his brother, Scarlett and even Lucas could form a team one day.
Novis didn't understand his own feelings, but for so reason seeing Scarlett like this, made his blood boil and currently all his anger was directed at the person who caused this.
"Alright let's do this," Novis said.
Scarlett let go of Novis's hand and went back next to Alex to watch the upcoming match.
"This little runt is who I have to go up against, Fine I'll beat all your weak ass friends."
The two of them put on their VR headset and logged in using their user IDs.
Most of the mbers hadn't seen Novis before so they didn't know what to expect but currently all their hopes were riding on him. They didn't want a bully like Mac to be in charge of the club.
When Novis joined the lobby though, all their hopes were suddenly crushed.
"ha, ha, ha really so you're a noob, your rank is bronze five. Well, this will be a quick ga."
Alex who had remained positive until this point suddenly lost all hope. Novis after all this ti had still remained at bronze rank 5 aning he hadn't gotten any better at the ga.
"Just start man!" Novis shouted.
The two of them then went to the warrior selection page, where everyone was given an even bigger shock. For Novis had chosen to select a character, that had only co out that very sa day.
