Virtual Sword God!

After clearly expressing his feelings for Scarlett the two of them didn't know what to do, it was a bit awkward between the two of them. They continued to walk until they eventually needed to split paths.

But just before the two of them left Novis finally managed to pluck up some courage. "You're a good friend to have Dan, and you know what? You're an even better rival to go up against."

Dan smiled at Novis and gave him a thumbs up before he left. But although Novis had said those words, the truth was that what he was feeling inside was completely different. Dan was every girls dream, girls came to him confessing their love for him every day.

Once he had even heard Scarlett talking about how handsome Dan was. If the two of them were to compete he wouldn't stand a chance.

"You're not as bad as you think Novis." George said. "I mean, when we first met you, you were quite scrawny and short but you've actually changed a lot these past two years. I would even say enough to be a good match for Dan."

Novis felt a little warm hearted at those words but he thought that George had just said it to cheer him up. The truth was Novis really had become quite the specimen himself after these two years. Not quite to the point of Dan's charm but there was something about Novis that would just attract people.

Summer was about to end and everyone would be going to their respective university's and schools to celebrate. For old times' sake the original team members, Novis, Scarlett, Dan, Ashley and Alex, decided to play one more game together.

They had entered the internet café and started to search for random matches online. The five of them still weren't that highly ranked and Alex was actually the highest ranked of them all, this season he actually managed to enter gold.

The others were simply too busy with their outside activities to play the game much and Novis had been banned form playing the game for a while.

The first game they had entered as a team they played well and won with ease. Even though the five of them hadn't played together in a while each of them had improved individually, even Ashley had honed her skills and became better than before.

The team continued to play and won game after game. And they started to gather a bit of a crowd inside the cafe, they were all staring at their screens.

"Huh, is this a University team or something. There playing so well." Someone in the crowd said.

Someone else responded. "Nah, can't you see, they all look like they're still in school."

"This is their fifth win in a row and not a single one of them has died yet." The crowd murmured.

They continued to play until they had eventually won their eight match in a row and by now unknown to them nearly the whole shop was watching their games. The crowd couldn't wait for the matches to end so they could see their faces and find out who these kids are.

After seeing all their skills the crowd thought these kids had to at least be part of a university team.

Finally when each of them removed their helmets the people in the shop were very surprised, a lot of them didn't have a single clue who the players were.

"Do you know who they are?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"After playing like that, I was sure they would be someone impressive, maybe they're a bunch of foreigners or something."

"Hey I know, who the one in the middle is, it's Alex from Montem, he helped them win the Berkshire finals this year, but I'm not sure about the rest of them, I don't remember seeing them here before."

The group were suddenly bombarded with questions, asking which school or university they went to and in the end they had to force their way out of there.

The group finally managed to get outside, on the high street they found a round bench to sit on underneath a tree.

"Looks like we still got it." Novis said. ���You know it's a shame we didn't discover the game sooner. Perhaps in another lifetime, if the five of us had met earlier we could have taken the world by storm."contemporary romance

Each of the members smiled as they heard Novis's words and then before they even realised it, tears started to fall down their faces. As if some miracle had occurred, one by one they all started crying it wasn't just one, but all of them, even Dan and Novis who didn't seem to be the crying type, joined in with their tears.

As Novis went to wipe his cheek he was wondering just what was happening.

He looked back at them and realised none of them couldn't stop the flow of tears either, so he decided to just cry it out without shame.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, with us. I should be happy I'm going to Titan right?"

'You've made some good friends Novis.' Aruther said. 'In the future when you look back at this moment you will realise how big of a stepping stone these people were in your live. Never forget them.'

"I won't!" Novis cried out.

"I know!" Scarlett said as she jumped up from her seat. "We all know Novis is leaving tomorrow, so why don't we take a group photo, and do something fun afterwards"

"That's a great idea." They all agreed.

Dan had approached a slightly older women and had asked her to help take the photo. Of course because Dan was the one who requested it she was more than happy to help.

Just then, right in front of the internet café where it all started for Novis. The place where he had met Lucas, the group took a photo.

"Say cheese!" The woman said.

"Cheese!" They cheered.

After taking the photo they continued to hang out as group as it was their last day together. They went to have a meal at a restaurant. Sung some songs together and enjoyed their last day together.
