Virtual Sword God!

Chapter 36: School Legend

Everyone who was watching was amazed at what Novis had done. They just saw a complete stranger take down the strongest player in school. But there was only one person who had realised Novis's true skill.

That was Alex. The warrior that Novis was using currently had no skills. The others understood that of course but didn't really understand what that meant. Everything that Novis had done in the game was through his own ability. He controlled the Warriors body as if it was his own and he made it all look natural.

This meant Novis was able to do these things to some extent in real life. Alex's heart started to beat louder. He was excited that a player this strong was in his school. He needed to do everything he could to get Novis to join the school team.

Novis and Mac exited out of the VR headset. Novis was pleased with what he had done. In truth, he could have beaten Mac using any of the weapons but he wanted to try switching between all the weapons. Once he saw the warrior Mac chose Novis started to relax.

He knew from playing as the warrior Krang before, that he was slow. This allowed him to use Mac as a practice target and switch between each of the weapons.

Mac stood there in silence with his goons. Novis had gone over to were Scarlett and Alex were. The members of the school team couldn't stop showering Novis with praises.

"You were amazing man."

"How did you even know how to use that chain thingy?"

"No way are you bronze 5 you have to be a smurf who's at least gold."

Novis had never been the centre of attention before in his life. He didn't know how to deal with it. As everyone was praising Novis performance Mac was staring at Novis's back intently.

Mac couldn't believe that someone so irrelevant, so puny, had upstaged him. All the congratulations Novis was getting should have been him. Mac started to be overcome with anger.

Then suddenly, Mac gripped his fist and rushed over towards Novis.

"You may be able to beat me in the game, but you're nothing in real life," Mac shouted as he threw his fist towards Novis.

"Novis switch with me!" Arthur shouted.

Without thinking about it Novis switched control over to Arthur. Although Novis had improved a lot, he had only practised fighting with a weapon. He had no experience with hand to hand combat. In this scenario, he was hoping Arthur would be able to do something.

Arthur turned around and saw the fist coming towards him. It was slow and easy to avoid, but if he avoided the punch there was a chance it would hit Scarlett and Alex who stood behind him.

Arthur then went towards the fist and grabbed Mac's wrist. Then Arthur barged his body into Mac's and used his hip to throw Mac over him and onto the ground. Mac's five goons quickly followed behind him charging forward.

But it was all too easy for Arthur. As punches and kicks came towards him, he would simply tap them away or make minimal movement avoiding the strikes. Then quickly would hit them back in vital spots. The five people quickly fell to the ground and weren't getting back up any time soon.

Once again, the whole room fell silent.

Until someone shouted,

"That was amazing!"

The whole room then went into a cheer. Arthur stood in the centre of his victims like a gladiator who had just been declared a champion. It reminded Arthur of when he used to battle in the arena back in his time.

Seeing Scarlett approach Novis Arthur switched back control.

Novis looked at the people on the floor in pain.

"What have I done."

Novis then quickly bolted out towards the door and ran away.

Alex had to know who Novis was, how did someone so strong go unknown throughout the school for so long. Not only was he powerful in the game but he was also strong enough to take out the top dog. He turned to the one person who knew him best.

"How come Novis is so strong?" Alex asked Scarlett.

"I don't know, I've never seen him do something like that before. I mean, his grandfather owns a dojo and all but I thought he never went."

Alex thought that must be it. The reason why he was so skilful in the game, why he could use the weapons and how he fought all those people just now. It would make sense if Novis had practised martial arts from a young age. This just got Alex more excited.

Alex would never have thought that Novis had actually only started practising a few months ago.

As Novis was making his way home he couldn't help but worry about the situation.

"What do I do, I might get expelled, worse what about if they come back with more people."

"relax will you, I dealt with them properly."

"Really you think so? Did you have to hurt them so badly!"

"They needed to be shown that you were far above them in power. That you could deal with them anytime you wanted. That's what I did."

*****

Once the events of the match were over the members quickly split and decided to head home but that didn't stop them from spreading the news of what had just happened.

The members who had seen the fight messaged the friends their classmates about the feat that took place in the VSW club room.

"Did you hear about the kid called Novis, I heard he fought thirty guys all at once."

"I heard it was 40"

"People are exaggerating I heard it was ten but they all got sent to the hospital with broken bones."

Rumours began to spread about Novis and he was starting to become a local legend at his school.

Mac heard these rumours and they only fueled his anger more. he thought back to what had happened. He had never been so humiliated in his life like that. He would have never suspected someone half his size would be able to throw him to the ground. After that, he didn't see the rest but when he came too, he clearly saw his friends on the ground.

What he was even more surprised about, that there was actually someone who wasn't afraid of him. There were two reasons why no one chose to mess with Mac. Mac was well known as a bully throughout the school. Many of the teachers knew this too. Mac was unrivalled when he came to strength, he was bigger than most of the kids and stronger.

But whenever Mac would get in trouble, they would simply ignore it. The reason for this was simple. Mac's father. Mac's father was the leader of a well-known gangster group in the town No one dared to mess with them. Not even the police.

Mac was currently in his father's office downtown. His father was sitting down in an office chair smoking a cigar. Mac's father looked frightening. He was even bigger than mac himself by a foot and had a scar 4 inches down his face that went over his right eye.

After hearing Mac's story, his father stood up and put his hand on Mac's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll teach this kid that no one messes with the Ruman family.
