With the long week finally over the weekend had just arrived. Today was a very special day for the members of the VSW club. Although there was no school today, the VSW club was asked to send two representatives to head over to Westgate school.

All schools in the surrounding area who wished to partic.i.p.ate in the VSW tournament had to be at the school by midday today.
Westgate school was chosen because it had a huge hall as well as being in the centre of town.
The tournament was your standard A vs B bracket. Each team would face off against each other until eventually the winners of A bracket went up against the Winners of B bracket.
Montem which was the school Novis attended, decided to send their club leader Alex and Scarlett since they were the sensible ones of the group. Today they would be registering and picking lots to decide who they would face in the first round.
Alex and Scarlett had just arrived at the school and Scarlett couldn"t help but stare at the giant tall buildings.
"Wow, have you seen this, it"s like a castle," Scarlett said.
"Well for the money you have to pay to get in here, I wouldn"t expect any less," Alex said
Alex"s parents had originally wanted Alex to go to Westgate school, but even with both of his parents being doctors they too couldn"t afford the crazy prices at Westgate school.
Alex and Scarlett continued to walk around and could see many different school uniforms. The county their school in wasn"t very big but it looked like every school in the area had sent someone to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament. Just walking in the entrance alone Scarlett counted at least 30 different uniforms.
The two of them followed the signs around school heading from one giant hall to an even bigger giant hall. Until eventually, they reached the registration room. The room was full of kids the same age as Scarlett and Alex talking to each other about the VSW game.
At the back of the hall, there was a woman sat down with a tablet and sign at the front that said the words "Registration."
"Hi are you two here to register for the Berks.h.i.+re tournament?"
Berks.h.i.+re was the county that their town resided in. The winner from this tournament would go on to fight the other County"s eventually become the countries nationwide champions.
Of course, people didn"t really care about this, because you didn"t get anything from it. What the students cared about was the resume that came with winning the tournament. If you wanted to get into a good university that trained professionals then a good resume was needed.
"Yes, we"re here from Montem."
The women smiled and handed Alex a tablet.
"Just fill in the details and Ranks of the other players on your team and hand the tablet back to me when you"re done."
Alex gulped at the women"s words.
"Um, there isn"t a minimum required rank is there?"
"No don"t worry about that, we"re using the information to decide the top-seeded teams. We gather the ranks of all the players and then decide the rank of the team. The top teams will be seeded so they don"t need to play as many games. This way the first few matches against schools won"t be so one-sided."
Alex"s heart calmed down a bit after hearing that, overall it was good news. Some tournaments required everyone to be of a certain level to keep it compet.i.tive but in school tournaments, this wasn"t usually the case. The new information she gave also meant that their school wouldn"t be facing the top teams until the later rounds giving them more time to practice.
Alex finished handing in the information and handed the tablet back to Women at the desk.
The women quickly doubled checked all the information on the tablet and as she did her face dropped.
"Are you sure you want to enter the tournament this year, there"s a lot of strong compet.i.tors this year." The women said with a smile on her face.
Alex knew straight away why the women had acted like this. The team didn"t have time to play any games after their one win. Alex instead insisted that the team watched the one game that they won over and over again to see what they had gotten right. This meant currently every single member on the team was Bronze rank, the lowest rank in the game.
"Yes, I"m sure," Alex said with a smile back.
After finis.h.i.+ng their registration, they were led further into another room. This room was filled with seats and a large screen. It looked like a huge cinema. The 60 or so students who were registered for the tournament were currently sat in the front two-row seats.
As Alex went to sit down, he overheard the other students talking about something.
"Hey did you hear that Lucas bell is taking part in the tournament this year!"
"What! how is that fair, I thought he never took part in tournaments like these."
"Well, there are rumours going around that a kid from one of the schools beat him and he"s here to get revenge."
"Does that mean there"s someone here who as strong as Lucas."
Scarlett had overheard the two kids talking as well but she had no idea who this Lucas person was.
"This Lucas they keep talking about, is he good?"
Alex sighed.
"Good is an understatement, Lucas is just as good as a pro and he"s the son of the number one player in the world Justin bell. Usually, he doesn"t bother with school tournaments like these as any university would be happy to accept him onto the team. If we have to face a monster like him were in big trouble and if the rumours are true that someone beat him, then it means this year there are two monsters we need to look out for."
*ACHOOO!
Novis sneezed out loud.
"There must be someone talking behind my back."
