MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel

Chapter 248 - Selections Day (2)

Not many knew that Jhonny had learnt a forging technique as a reward of a hidden quest , that technique gauranteed to produce epic rated assasins dagger item , for basic steel forging.

Jhonny could literally forge any number of times with steel and always come out with a epic rated assasins dagger , Jhonny could not forge a single item except steel , and he had no skills in forging any other item either.

Luck was a major part of forging for a blacksmith , as various factors determined the success of forging in a VR setting. Although the blacksmiths did adjust the hit and hit the hammer and anvil on the products , they were basically following a set pattern of hits.

The system showed them the exact spot to hit , however the power put in the hit and the precision was upto the forger.

What Jhonny did not know however was the fact that his trash luck , was a charm for deterring the opposition in a forging event. The system classified everyone competing against him in the forging event as opponents , and his heavy negetive stat affected their forging.

The brittle parts would break , while sometimes impurities would show up inside medals causing various disturbances lowering quality.

Jhonny was by no means the most talented blacksmith , however with his trash luck rubbing on everyone , this was the perfect event for him to showcase his real worth..

Tragedies kept occuring on table after table , as 60% of the blacksmiths could not even muster a product to keep for final evaluation.

While forging a dark gold item at this stage of them game was beyond impressive , everyone knew that the world stage needed epic rated items or above to compete.

At the end , the generals were deeply dissapointed at the performance of the blacksmithing department . It was hard to watch as trash quality bronze and silver artifacts were put up for evaluation.

The only saving grace of the event was sir Jhonny who forged a epic rated item , and Fatty Kalash who made a damaged epic item.

The system luckily still evaluated his item as epic and hence gave him the number two spot in overall evaluation.

Jhonny and Fatty Kalash had secured spots in the national team with this .

All eyes again went towards Ethan Grey , who had a calm look on his face ..... The True Elites were proving to become more and more unfathomable , every event seemed to be dominated by them.

It was just a guild of 3000 members or so , however it still had maximum representative spots in the national squad.

Even those who did not get selected , showed great potential from the guild , Tanks like cola and rhino , and wizards like Medivh , also performed spectacularly in their events.

Meanwhile inside the cliff fighting event , the vice Guild master of the Elites , Karna was fighting his semi finals Match against the dark barbarian Jin Mori.

The dark barbarian had some pretty cool skills , one of them being a smokescreen fog . He would spew smokescreen from his mouth and completely blind the opponent , then attack with a powerful blow out of nowhere.

It was an excellent skill , especially for the cliff fighting event , where the objective was to send ur opponent flying over the narrow platform . However it was his misfortune to fight against vice guild master Karna , who had minds eyes.

Seeing clearly in the fog , Karna was absolutely ready for Jin's attack. He carefully sidestepped , causing Jin to stumble a bit towards the cliff to regain balance , and finished him off with a powerful kick to the chest.

Jin also could not see , inside the dense fog , but one of his skills was sonar detection , hence he could accurately just point out where his opponent was inside the fog. However he never expected that someone could maneuver in such a way while being inside the thick fog , as if they could see everything. Hence when the kick landed on him , and he was sent flying , he had his eyes wide open in shock.

He lost in the semi finals to Karna , who went on to win the finals of the event as well. Along with him was another top 10 , pain , who had a wierd gravity manipulation move , that made him a perfect fit for the cliff fighting event , Karna narrowly scored a victory over pain , and was in resepct of his strength.

Day two ended with yet another Elite securing a spot at the national level , and the generals were left scratching their heads at the unexpected development. It seemed as if Ethan Grey's True Elites was just a conglomeration of talent.

Day 3...4...5...6 passed next , and one after another selections for events were being held. Neatwit and Karna both secured a place in the first blood match . While SMG secured a spot in trialthon alongside Skyla.

Nero and Patch Mori got a spot in the event called riot control , where one was supposed to control riots in cities using lethal and non lethal force .

Their undead and zombies were the perfect fit for the job , as rioteers were absolutely terrified of them . Handling the riots as a one man army , the two of them showed exceptional performance and qualified for the VR Olympics as Japan's representatives.

Rudra closely watched that qualifier , as he got to see the glory of the Zombiemancer and Necromancer dark classes first time on display.

Their skill sets were stellar , and the more advanced zombie's and undeads had skills of their own.

Seeing those two fight , Rudra suddenly felt as if his own Knight class maybe wasn't the best class in the game . Maybe he should have chosen a PVE class as well.

However he quickly dispelled those thoughts , as if he someday reached tier four with a SSS rating , he would become the legendary class player , that could easily level cities.

Rudra did not compete in any more single's events , and patiently waited for the last 2 days of the selections , where the team events would start.
