Virtual Sword God!

Chapter 46: New member

With the weekend over it was time for Novis to head back to school. He had been flip-flopping over the decision whether or not he should join the VSW club. After hearing about Lucas, he decided that this might be his only chance to fight against Lucas.

While Novis was hoping to approach Scarlett and ask about joining, she was the one who had actually approached him.

"Novis, about the VSW club, we found a new member so if you join it now it means we only need one more person to be able to enter the tournament. Are you sure you still don't want to join?" Scarlett asked.

This was great for Novis. Novis was originally thinking of a way of approaching the VSW club and was afraid they might reject him if they had found enough members. But it looks like there were still struggling due to the fear of Mac.

"Yeah I thought about it for a while, and I think I want to join the VSW club."

Scarletts face lit up with joy, she went back to her seat and shouted

"I'll see you there after school."

Novis was excited about going to the VSW club, he couldn't help but wonder who the new member was. Novis wondered if he was strong and if he was, he would have loved to face him in a one on one battle.

As classes finished it was time for the students to go to their clubrooms. Scarlett already left a little earlier while Novis had a few things he needed to clear up before leaving.

On the way to the club room down the hall, Novis spotted Mac's goons waiting just outside the hall on the way to the VSW club room. As soon as Novis saw them he hid around the corner to get a better look.

"What are they doing here, are they waiting for me?"

Novis thought that they might have come here to take revenge on him but it had already been two weeks. If they wanted to, why did they wait this long? Novis waited a little longer to see if they would eventually walk away.

Then from the other side of the hallway, another student appeared. The five students that were affiliated with Mac smiled and turned as soon as they saw the person.

The person was a tall pretty blond boy, it was Dan.

"We told you last week, if we saw you here again, we would teach a lesson, and yet here you are?" One of the goons said.

Novis was too far away to see who it was that they were talking too, the men's bodies were mostly blocking his view as well.

"And didn't I tell you guys why does it matter to you what club I joined." Dan replied

Novis overheard the man and thought it must have been the new club member. This was bad, what Alex and Scarlett said was true. Mac really was putting pressure on all the students who decided to join or were in the VSW club.

They didn't bother with Scarlett and Alex because the club needed five members to operate in the first place. It was better to let them suffer in the club thinking that they might have a chance.

Dan with the other five students started to walk off in a different direction then the club room. Novis was worried that the goons might do something to the new member. After he decided to join the club he needed five members otherwise they wouldn't be able to join the tournament.

Novis stayed a good distance away from them, so he wouldn't get spotted. Eventually, Dan and the other students arrived at the school's roof.

As soon as the door closed Novis went to open the door slightly so he could take a little peek at what was going on.

"You brought this on yourself!" One of the men said as he charged towards Dan with a punch.

This was what Novis was afraid off, they really were here to force the student out of the club. Novis quickly pushed the door open and leapt out to where Dan was.

By the time Novis got there though, the man was already on the floor. Dan was the one standing there perfectly fine.

Dan saw Novis standing there still, he was shocked that he had finally met Novis in a place like this.

"Oh, hey there Novis," Dan said while smiling and waving.

"Get him!" The other goons shouted.

Quickly all four of the students rushed towards Dan. Another person threw a fist at Dan's face but then Dan simply parried the fist away and countered with a Jab to the face. The student fell to the floor.

The next one also took a swing at Dan, but then Dan ducked and rolled underneath the punch and gave a hook right to the man's temple. He wasn't getting up any time soon.

Although Dan was doing well so far, four people at once were simply too much. Before Dan could react to the third person, he had been tackled and sent to the ground.

"Looks like you know a bit of boxing, but it's useless when you're on the ground."

The man had Dan's arm pinned under the weight of his knees. Dan tried to struggle free but it was useless.

The man then threw a punch towards Dan on the ground but before it could hit, a kick came out of nowhere right on the man's face.

Novis had managed to come over in time after defeating the other person and helped Dan before it was too late.

Novis offered his hand and lifted Dan up. Dan's eyes started to sparkle, he thought he was right that Novis was a special person. The two of them were fated to meet.

As Dan stared at Novis intently a shiver ran down his spine. Remembering there first time they had met.

"We finally meet again," Dan said.

Novis was polite and smiled back.

Just then Novis phone started to ring, as he picked it out of his pocket, he saw that it was Scarlett calling him.

"Oh, hey Scar, what up?"

"Where are you, we've been waiting here half an hour and there's a problem, the new guy didn't show up today. I'm afraid that something might have happened to him."

"Calm down, we'll be down there in a minute. The new guys with me."
