Virtual Sword God!

The two of them stood there in the street staring at each other. Unknowing how much weight Novis's question had been weighing on her mind. Scarlett had been thinking about what to do the whole day, and the last person she wanted to see was Novis.

"Ashley was the one who told me today. That you might not be doing nursing anymore. That you suddenly changed your mind but I don't buy it. It was always your plan, what changed?" Novis asked.

"Is it really any of your business!" Scarlett snapped back.

Novis was just telling her what she already knew. She wanted to do nursing, but more than anything, she wanted to continue having a good time with her friends.

"Do you remember how I used to be uninterested in anything I tried. It all changed when I found the game, and now I'm finally doing something I like. You should do the same."

Scarlett suddenly turned away and started running back towards her house. She didn't want to hear any of it. Novis didn't seem to understand. But how could he if she didn't say anything?

"Hey, do you think we should intervene," George asked.

"It's best if these two are honest with each other. If they need us to guide them, then this type of thing would never have worked out."

On an unknown place inside a blank white room, Josh and Biden were busy meeting someone. They were inside a white space known as an Augmented reality room. This room displayed Holograms to fight against, unlike the VR headset that transported your mind to the game.

They were busy standing by the side as they watched what appeared to be an old man with a fisherman's hat. The weapon n his hand he used looked a bit like a rod as well, and his clothes weren't the best either.

If someone was to spot the man on the street, they would be sure to think he was homeless. Suddenly, five holograms of knights appeared, each one looking like a different warrior from the game. The man dodged and ducked all the attacks, not allowing a single one to hit him.

He then bashed one over the head with the fishing rod, while swinging out the end and wacking the other in the face. Each hit seemed to represent what the attack would do in real life.

After watching him for a while, he had eventually managed to defeat all five of the holograms without getting touched.

"Phew." The man said as he wiped away his sweat. "Sorry for keeping you waiting, I have to just get a practice in otherwise I just don't feel like myself."

Biden then opened up a digital display that contained a list of names. Each one with a picture by it.

"Here are all the candidates that passed the selection process around the country," Biden said.

"So there are a 120 in total then?" The fish hat man said.

"I suggest you look at that information carefully." Josh said, "There are especially some interesting students from the Berkshire area."contemporary romance

The fish hat man simply wafted the screen away so it would disappear.

"I don't need it. Just because they managed to pass your selection process doesn't mean they will do mine. Do you know how many professional players I've already raised? If they don't catch my eye, then they don't deserve to be on the team. In these six months, I'll have you your regulars."

Inside her home, Scarlett was taking a nice relaxing bath. After the day she had, she just needed to let all her emotions out into soaking warm feeling. Her mind had been filled with what had happened earlier in the day.

As the bath finished, she walked outside and decided to go grab some ice cream. It was her favourite snack to have when her mind was full of things.

"What are you doing Scarlett, if you eat that you'll get fat, you know." Her mother said, laughing.

"What do I care, he never notices me anyway."

"Oh, so is this about a boy then?" She replied.

"Have you decided?" Her father asked, "Whether you will go to Titan or Bimm?"

Scarlett then took a big scoop of ice cream and placed it in her mouth. As she smiled, she said.

"Yeah, I've decided to go to Bimm."

Bimm university was actually the same place the others were going to. Although it was sad that she would no longer be around Novis, she would still have Alex and the rest to talk and catch up to.

"I can wait." Scarlett thought.

The next Day while Novis was busy walking outside, he managed to spot Dan going for his morning Run. The two of them decided to walk side by side and talk a little bit. Without releasing it, the two of them were walking the same path as they did when they first had met.

"So I saw Scarlett the other day," Dan said. "She looked pretty down, did you say something to her?"

"I basically told her she shouldn't go to Titan," Novis replied. "To do something she enjoys."

"You idiot!" Dan shouted. "Don't you understand why she wants to go to Titan?"

For some reason, Dan started to feel a little angry at Novis's words. He, himself had feelings for Scarlett but knew he could never express them. Novis was his friend, and he knew that Scarlett had her heart set for someone else.

"What do you mean, isn't it because it's a good university?" Novis said.

"Listen to me Novis, I'm telling you this now, when you go to Titan, you better remember to write to her. You better call her when she's sad or upset. Be there when she needs someone because if you aren't going to be there for her. Then I will."

Novis thought he was going crazy for a second. He was a bit slow at interpreting what people were saying, but he was pretty sure he could understand Dan right now.

Dan also had feelings for Scarlett.
