Chapter 95: the game master
Boom!! Arthur rushed forward to trade blows with the opposing teams main attacker, while the rest members of the team followed him to crack their opponents formation.
It was remaining only 2 days before the virtual team tournament starts. And today is their last practice day, so they tried their last attempt to improve. This is the elite team simulated battleground, for team vs team training.
Sabertooth simulated five 2nd rank high-grade soldiers to fight them like this was the real tournament. The battle became very heated, as Arthurs spear became a blur. He struck with his spear, like lightning, while his opponent counter-attacked with his broad sword, like thunder.
Dust suddenly started flying everywhere, as Clark advanced with immense speed. His spear was raised, as he performed his self-created technique, dragon breaks the ranks. He felt like a dragon cornering his prey, as his whole body felt bloated with power.
Arthur responded very fast to his vice captains move, as he rolled forward, dodging his opponents next strike while distancing himself from him. He left his opponent, as he rushed experiencedly to meet Aurora, to help her take down her opponent.
If Aurora releases her burst of power, she can be as strong as Arthur, despite it being for brief moments. There was a reason she was referred to as the silent assassin of the team, she was an extremely dangerous opponent during her deadly short bursts of power.
She burst forth with power, as with Arthurs help they both started demolishing their opponent.
Emily and Mark restrained the other 3 opponents in a 2 vs 3 fight, as her hand speed erupted completely. Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Her dual swords danced furiously and swiftly, as she alone stalled the 3 opponents. Mark complimented her, as he defended tightly, making sure to cover all her weaknesses.
Boom!! Clarks spear finally arrived as the air parted, escaping to all directions in panic. His opponent reacted fast, as he tried to block with his huge sword.
Bam!! Bam!! Bam!! His opponents huge sword broke into pieces, as his spear advanced without losing much momentum.
Boom!! His opponents body blew up, as the force from the strike oversaturated the simulated mans tolerance. Blood flew everywhere dying the battleground with a shade of dark red, the force from his self-created technique was just that ridiculous.
Tyrannical!! His teammates focused on their battles, but they still subconsciously look his way whenever he used his self-created technique, and they always scream this inwardly.
As soon as he destroyed his opponent, Arthur and Aurora also finished their opponent, so they all turned around without hesitation to finish the remaining 3 opponents.
Ptui!! The last opponent died, as Auroras dagger cleanly removed his head. Yay!! We did it, they shouted in triumph, as they rejoiced a little. This was the first time that they finished the elite team simulated training, without a single casualty.
It was all thanks to Clarks improved mastery over the technique, he created. Teamwork was still indispensable though, as, without his teammates, he cannot do it.
As soon as they left the nutrition cabin, they asked for their results. Sabertooth complied immediately, as their scores were shown.

Guys, this is good. Its enough for today, Mark said with a raised voice. Lets chill for the remaining days with ease, we are blasting through this team tournament.
They all laughed, as they went to bath and have a proper rest. Mark is right, Clark thought.
With those attributes, I think we are among the best 2nd rank high-grade soldiers in the world. I dont see what will prevent us from winning. With this slightly exaggerated thought, he happily entered the bathroom to bathe.
The Captain was very satisfied with the teams improvement and performance, as he agreed to let them go out for the first time. During the last month, they were practically locked indoors, doing intense training. The General was also very satisfied when his subordinate informed him of their performance.
The Captain bought clothes for them, which they wore as they prepared to go out the next day. On, going out of the compound, they didnt exactly have a destination in mind. So, they just walked across the streets, admiring the beautiful scenery.
They exchanged greeting with the nearby residents of this district, as they secretly admired the high-rise buildings.
By now, they were already used to this color, red and blue everywhere. But the splendidness of this place still seemed mind-boggling to them.
So, some people actually live in this kind of beautiful place. While we live in our backward world, Spartas capital city is just like a slum compared to this place. Clark could not help but lament.
The movie, Mara and Clara, is a vivid description of how he felt. Its just like comparing Claras home, with Maras home. The difference is clear, just like 7-up.
But despite this feeling, he still felt that theres no place like home. Wherever I go, Ill always remember the road that will lead me home. My country is not as beautiful, my country is not as developed. Well, instead of running to a better place, Ill instead help beautify it and develop it into a better place.
As he thought, they quickly came before a house. The signboard indicated that it was a video games hub. Mark suggested that they play games, as they didnt know anyone here and they didnt have a clear destination.
After thinking about it a bit, Clark agreed also. And the others agreed shortly after, as they didnt have a better choice.
Clark and Mark were the only veteran video gamers among the group, so they both selected a game that they are familiar with Mini Militia. It was the only game, they recognized there, so they both dragged the others to play it.
Mini militia is a typical example, of simple to learn but hard to master game, so the 3 others quickly got a hang of it.
As they started playing, Clark gradually became serious as he didnt want to lose to Mark. Surprisingly, Mark was a gamer, but he was not too good at playing them. At most, he was just a casual gamer.
For the first 5 rounds, Clark completely demolished all of them, as they failed to kill him, not even once.
He finally let down his guard, as he leisurely destroyed their characters. He was enjoying himself completely until Arthur almost killed his character. He survived, but it was a close call. After that round, he glanced at Arthur in surprise, as this guy was already better than the others at the game.
On seeing the look on Arthurs face, he almost fainted in fright. This guy was completely focused, with a damn serious expression planted on his face.
Seriously? Clark didnt know if he should laugh or cry. Dude, this is just a game, not a real-life battle, he thought in resignation.
That was just Arthurs personality, he is always serious when he wants to. He hates defeat with passion, and he always tries to compete with someone, with everything he does.
Clark focused again, as he continued killing them without his character getting close to death. The others also noticed the competitive spirit emanating from Arthur. To them, it was amusing, as they laughed.
Aurora was also now more open to them, as she laughed also. As Clarks perfect win streak continued, it finally drew attention from other gamers there as they came forward to challenge him.
His perfect win streak went unbroken, as he destroyed opponent after opponent. His friends who came with him, to play games already became his fans as they cheered him on.
He felt really good, as he played the game to his hearts content today. Some challengers came close, but he still destroyed them at the end.
He quickly earned a new nickname, the game master. His fanbase grew by the minute, as his defeated challengers were already enough to get him a gaming award.
Some people started calling their friends, and people they knew were good in games to come. As they came, they used the same frequency in increasing his defeated challengers tally.
He made a name for himself, in this foreign games hub. Thats just the life trajectory of geniuses, they never pass a place by without leaving huge news behind.
As they went back that day, Aurora blabbered about how awesome he was, which came as a surprise to them all. She was usually the cold and silent one, maybe my gaming prowess succeeded in winning her over, Clark thought shamelessly to himself, in conclusion.
Her personality contrast at the moment was extremely glaring. This game invigorated her spirit, its like she just emerged as a new person.
Mark laughed awkwardly, as he also started going over what happened. Shit, another one with a weak will. Im disappointed, Arthur thought to himself irritated.
Unknowingly to Mark, he was already becoming a fanboy of this little jerk called Clark. What a fraudster, a completely shameless tricker, Arthur thought.
That night, they slept soundly as they prepared themselves psychologically. The tournament is beginning tomorrow, they had to be in their best shape.
