MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
chapter-237

A lot of deliberation had been put into what method is to be used for the Japan national team selections. The hype surrounding the VR Olympics was real.

It was the most anticipated event in the history of eSports and every single player who played Omega with a bit of professionalism in mind , wanted to get a spot for a event.

The government had already compiled a list of the most outstanding players in the country , people who had to be given special attention. And almost the entire True Elites guild made the list.

It was natural considering the fact that the Elites were a best of the best unit. A heated discussion took place as to how to make the choice about which player plays what event. But after a lot of deliberation , it was decided that the government would let the players choose which games they would take part in.

The government gave a 3+2 option , for players to try in for the tryouts , they gave a extra option to make sure that the players attempted every event that they thought they had the best shot of winning at.

The government put the participation of the tournament as a open for all , and opened online registrations for all those that wanted to take part in the event.

How it worked was that interested players were required to fill an online form about their in game name and events they wanted to take part in , and when the selections for that event would start , they would get a invite in game to join the event.

However special players that were on the government list , like Rudra , Karna and almost all the Elites , did not have to go through this process , they were directly sent government mail forms to only select events of choice.

It was mandatory for them to attend the selections. Rudra did not mind this one bit , He chose his three individual events as , One V One fighting , Beat the clock challenge , and Cliff fighting .

For team events he chose capture the flag and National battleground.

The selection was in two days time , and the final decision for selection remained in the hands of the government.

The selection would feature players from both Light and Dark factions. And it would be the first time ever that the two factions would face off .

Rudra was pumped for this , in his previous life he had never been good enough to participate in the VR Olympics , and his during his gaming experience the light and dark faction players never mixed up in the actual game. Hence he never had the chance to fight one.

Although there were no inherently stronger factions , wether be light or dark , the skillsets both posessed were wayy different.

For example , the exact opposite class of Rudra's Knight was the Dark knight. While the Dark knight had the same normal skills , the class specific skills were totally different. And the evaluation criteria for tier promotion was totally different.

If a dark knight was given the mission of eradicating a bandit camp , the best way to go with it would be to slaughter the entire camp.

The difference between Dark Knights and Knights was that Dark knights only cared about the results , while Knights cared about the journey taken to get the results.

One skill that Rudra was aware off for the Dark knight class was Absolute Defense.

It would reduce the incoming damage of a attack by 99% , saving the user from a sure kill strike.

It was not better than Full counter , but it was a different reward offered for a SSS rating.

Apart from the Dark Knight class, there was also the necromancers , the blood mage, the Zombiemancer, the Dark paladin , the Dark barbarian and many more classes.

( NOTE : There is no Dark Mage/wizard class ,healer , priest class )

Rudra was pumped to maybe be in a team with a necromancer and a Zombiemancer as he took on the team events.

If he remembered correctly in his previous life Japan's top player was a necromancer , he single handedly won a silver medal putting up a stand against five teams , if only he had more capable team members , he could have won it.

Rudra wondered if he would be there in the selections this time around too.

( Meanwhile real world , The upside , Ethan Grey's office )

The secretary read a report to Ethan Grey " Sir , Ambani has started to use force , yesterday seven of our factories were stormed by military forces and burnt to the ground , we lost about 700 million dollars per factory , 4.9 billion total , the sales stores of our endorsed products have been set on fire , there is a general panick that makes the consumers scared of purchasing our products, in fear of government retaliation. Many of our goods are siezed by the government for ' Quality check purposes '. ".

Ethan listened to the report calmly , Ambani had played a mastermove , before the results of the VR Olympics came out , there was no reprimand for his actions , he could strategically cut the limbs of Grey international 's buisness in Pakistan. Winning the Veto rights had became even more important for Ethan Grey now , as once japan got a veto , he could start retaliating back without concern .

He had faith in Rudra , however in the VR Olympics , assuming Rudra did indeed bring home 3 gold medals , it was still not enough for Japan to get veto rights ... The Olympics won't be a one man show , and many people needed to rise to the occasion for the country to succeed.

It was because of this reason , that he wanted to speed up the building process of the academy Rudra requested for .... He wanted Rudra to nurture more players that could bring glory to the nation.

Because at the end of the day , if Japan prospered , soo would he , and if Japan fell down , soo would he. He was the principal driver of the economy and his company was tied to the roots with the Country.

Ethan had a lot of meetings with Rudra lately , and he was concerned as although Japan had won 5 silvers in Rudra's previous life , there was only a single gold medal for the country. It was not a top five nation.

Although bringing Rudra and the true Elites in from various parts of the world , changed that dynamic , Japan's spot in top five was far from set in stone.

However Rudra was optimistic about the chances , and that gave Ethan some confidence as well.
