Chapter 66: Montem's Monsters

As the team began to walk back to the school bus, the news quickly spread that Eton had lost. The students couldn't believe it. Their school wasn't one of the best teams but there were one of the stronger ones in the competition. Many of the students had heard they were going up against a weak bronze team.

Never in their wildest dreams could they imagine that their school would have been knocked out in the first round.

Information had spread around that the Eton team had been wiped out completely by two individuals on Montem's team. Those two players were Dan and Ashley.

When Novis got on the bus Scarlett and Alex begin to shout their heart outs they couldn't hold in their happiness any longer.

"We did it guys, we really did it" Alex shouted.

"Ashley, I can't believe how amazing you were," Scarlett said as she gave Ashley a big hug.

"It was nothing," Ashley replied, trying to keep it cool, but secretly she was enjoying being in the limelight.

Novis and Dan were still the most confused out of everyone. While walking back they heard the Eton students talking about Ashley and Dan. Novis could understand a little about Dan but because they were busy fighting, they had no clue what happened in the rest of the match.

"What happened? Can someone explain to me how we won?" Novis asked.

Alex then realised that Novis and Dan had completely no idea and started to explain.

"Oh, I guess you two guys didn't see anything."

As Alex began to explain, currently at Eton high the Mu Samu gold ranked player was going through the same thing. He had no idea how their team had lost to a bunch of Bronze players. The coach made the whole team watch the match back. After watching the recording of the game, he quickly understood what had happened.

While Novis was busy dealing with the two at top and Dan was running through the forest, Ashley and Scarlett were facing off the two in the bottom lane.

They were facing off against a similar pair to themselves, a melee sword user who used duel blades and an archer Warrior. Alex had given Ashley precise instructions as she was walking into her lane. Alex had told Ashley that there was a 90 percent chance that the person would use their thrust skill the moment he got in range. With this information and with Ashley's warrior being a counter type, it helped her greatly.

Just as Alex had said, as soon as the player got in range of Ashley he used the thrust skill, Ashley dodged the attack and hit him back three times in the blink of an eye.

Ashley training with George was focused on speed. Ashley already had the speed but just didn't know how to use it and this is what George had shown her.

The man quickly burst into blue flames. Alex had further given Scarlett instructions saying that the archer liked to stay near the tower. Alex had instructed Scarlett to go through the forest and be aggressive from the get-go. Forcing the archer to move from their comfort zone, away from the tower.

Ashley made quick work again of the archer. All of this had happened in the first few moments of the game. Because of how the camera in the game worked, everything Ashley was doing was being displayed on the projector in the gym and they had just seen two of their players get taken out by Ashley in an instant.

Ashley and Scarlett then both moved quickly to mid. Alex was playing it safe staying behind his knights and knew that Ashley and Scarlett were coming to help him. As soon as his teammates where close Alex started to go in aggressive against the enemy warrior.

The enemy warrior was struggling while fighting Alex but that was because Alex was just focusing on surviving. Ashley and Scarlett then quickly came and took out the third member.

The screen then quickly switched to Dan who had ambushed the archer in the forest. The archer had heard Dan's footsteps but Dan had moved in so fast the archer didn't have time to prepare his bow. Before the Archer could even pull out his dagger he had already burst into blue flames.

They then further saw Dan punch their Ace player Mu Samu to death. What this meant was the audience had only seen Ashley and Dan fight. The video of the fight quickly spread throughout Eton and Ahsley had quickly become known as the Monster of Montem.

While the students where calling Ashley the Monster of Montem, the coach and the Mu Samu player had a different opinion. When Mu Samu fought Novis, Novis acted like he knew someone was already in the forest ready to attack him, not only that but Novis was able to fend off two strong players at once. Something that at his current level he would never be able to do.

The coach had also realised that the enemy team had clearly studied them hard. It seemed like the girl Ashley was waiting for something and even the attacks on mid seemed like they were all planned out. The coach and Mu Samu thought that Novis and whoever had gathered information on their team were the true monsters of Montem.

With Novis caught up on the whole situation he realised quickly that Alex was the main reason for their easy win. Although he was a bit disappointed that he himself didn't get to shine in the limelight.

Meanwhile, Mac was currently in his father's office at the computer screen. Mac had just witnessed Montem VSW club win their match against Eton.

"Dammit, I knew I should have done something about that team."

Mac had expected the team to lose after witnessing there last few games but now that they had won, he was angrier than ever.

Mac's father Bob then came into the room.

"If you want to take them down son, you need to get their weak spot first."

Bob then put a photo down on the table. It was a photo of Scarlett.
