Virtual Sword God!

Alex was currently wis.h.i.+ng that he had spent more time playing the game. Alex was known throughout the whole school as the boy genius. The person who got the number one test results, in the whole school.

The truth was, Alex did all that because he loved VSW. Alex"s parents were both well-known doctors and they wished for Alex to follow in their footsteps. Alex didn"t know what he wanted to do so he found it hard to put any pa.s.sion into studying.

One day on the T.V the Esports world cup was showing. Two of the best Pro teams in the world were facing off against each other and the game they were playing, was VSW. The tactics, the action, the tears after winning the game. Alex fell in love with it all and wanted to experience the same feeling the people on Tv were feeling.

When Alex expressed his wishes to his parents, they were dead set against it. Even though many people made a living playing Esports it was still only a select few. Similar to how if someone wanted to be a singer or musician.

Alex parents wouldn"t allow him to touch a game for a while but seeing his interest rise, his parents thought of a way they could exploit his pa.s.sion in the game. They came up with a deal. If Alex was to get the number one position on the school test, then his parents would let him do what he wanted. They even said they would support him by buying him any equipment he needed.

Alex studied harder than he had ever studied before and eventually got the number one spot. His parents kept their promise and bought him a VR headset. But a condition was still set in place. If his scores were to worsen then they would no longer allow him to play the game.

This left Alex with very little time to actually play the game. Despite everything that got in Alex"s way he managed to become the leader of the VSW club as well the number one spot on the school rankings.

If Alex wanted to change his parent"s mind about becoming a pro VSW player. He would have to show them it was truly possible. He couldn"t lose against Mac like this.

Alex rolled on the ground towards his s.h.i.+eld, avoiding the hammer swing. He picked his s.h.i.+eld up off the ground and waited for the right moment. When he saw an opening, he cast the skill "s.h.i.+eld barge".

The system took care of the rest for Alex. His warrior Gladio put the round s.h.i.+eld in front of his face and made his body as compact as possible. Suddenly he shot off like a bullet towards the spinning Mac. Alex managed to get just the right timing to hit Mac in between the swings and knock his body of balance.

The audience supporting Alex cheered.

"Could you do that?"

"It had to be luck, No way someone could time that."

But Alex did in fact time it. Any spare time he had outside of the game he would be studying the different Warriors. He knew the timing and skills of nearly every warrior in the game. Just like when he studied for exams. He studied twice as hard on the game.

Although Alex was able to stop Mac"s attack. The warrior was simply too heavy and just stumbled.

"Good, I would hate for me to win that easy," Mac said.

Alex was afraid he wouldn"t get a chance like this again. He went in with a flurry of attacks. Mac made sure to keep his body facing forward against his opponent. He knew what Alex was trying to do. The warrior Krang"s weak point was his back. The heavy armour was too thick to be penetrated by Alex"s small blade. But the back was open.

Alex was getting frustrated, He knew what he needed to do to win, but he didn"t have the skills to do it. The system only gave each character four different skills and none of them would help him in a situation like this. His real skills with the sword were basic and not strong enough to get Mac in the position he wanted.

Alex continued attacking hoping an opportunity might eventually show itself. But it never did. And in Alex inexperience, his character had quickly become worn out. He was exhausted. Mac saw this opportunity and cast the skill "hammer throw". The hammer went flying through the air at a lightning-fast speed.

Alex went to dodge but his legs would no longer listen to him.

*Bang

As the hammer made contact with Alex"s body, he burst into a flame of blue particles.

The members who were supporting Alex were silent. While Mac"s goons were cheering away. The members couldn"t help but feel proud of Alex. They knew he had tried everything he could. Alex was never good at one on one battles. He excelled at team matches where tactics were involved. Their hopes were raised a little when they saw Alex perform the s.h.i.+eld barge but the result was as expected.

The two of them took off their VR headsets. Mac was smiling with Joy while Alex couldn"t look anyone in the eye, he felt like he had let them down. For some reason, Alex felt like he could no longer move. Scarlett quickly came over and helped Alex back into the crowd.

"Look at that, he even needs a girl to help him." Mac and his goons started to laugh.

"Shut up, you already won, why do you have to be like this."

"He should have never been the leader in the first place, only the strongest should be the leader. I"ll be happy to let anyone take my place as long as they can beat me. Maybe you want to have a go?"

Scarlett bit her lip, she had only been playing the game for a short while and mainly as range character. She knew she stood no chance against Mac.

"If there is no one here that can beat me, then as the leader of the VSW club my first command is that you two are banned from the club."

Alex felt as if lightning had just struck his heart. Tears started to roll down his face. He had spent all his time in the club room with his friends with the aim of becoming a pro. He wanted to prove to his family he could do it by winning this tournament. If he was to be kicked out of the club there was no chance he could do that.

Scarlett then turned and faced Mac. The height difference between the two looked comical. But Scarlett"s face was dead serious.

"All I need to do is find someone in this school that can beat you right?" Scarlett said.
