<h4>Chapter 256 - Conclusion</h4>


    Rounds after rounds of dodging ensued , SMG and his team won them all , sometimes it would be a breeze and sometimes it would be a pinch . However little by little the team''s performance improved in the event , as strategies were starting to be made , and enemy''s were sabotaged.


    SMG himself started to do better , he was nimble on his feet and started to get into the rhythm of dodging , although the use of palms and feet to defend was allowed , SMG did not want to use the privge.


    Some games he would be eliminated because he did not dodge fast enough , while in some a ball would just barely nick a body part and he would be eliminated.


    However game after game , the improvement was visible , after proper training and technique that made use of hands and feet , SMG would perform much better .


    This was just the kind of growth Rudra wanted in his guild members from the VR Olympics , SMG woulde out of the event as aplete dodging beast , no sword would be able to catch his movement.


    SMG and his seeded squad finally qualified as National representatives!


    --------


    ( Meanwhile , in the capture the g event )


    Karna had gone for the big central g first.?His strategy was to secure the five big points first , and then just broaden the lead right from the get-go.


    The team was divided into assault and defense. Patch and Jin Mori and C were Defense , guarding the base and the g.


    While , everyone except Jhonny English and Medivh was Assault squad.


    Jhonny and Medivh , were the special force unit , that was tasked to join either attack or defense as required , while their main job was that of a scout.


    The centre was a bloodbath , However , Karna and the group was able to secure the central g for the first exchange.


    While the team retreated , the swarms of attackers were held back by the sepcial units , Jhonny and Medivh.


    Medivh casted a earth spell , and made a mud wall regrly in the path of retreat , while Jhonny sprinkled Spikesced with poison on the ground


    The duo made the life of the pursuers a lot harder , ane gave enough time for the assault squad to safely retreat to base and draw battle formation.


    Now the ten man squad at its full glory were ready to defend the g untill respawn . Although many parties were present , none of them recklessly engaged , as sooner orter the g would respawn , however the death of members could never bepensated.


    Hence most leaders chose to retreat , and wait to fight it out again in the central area. However there were always some brainless idiots , who would choose to fight nheless.


    These idiots were ughtered by Karna''s team. The white g dissapeared , and +5 points was disyed at their base''s disy board.


    They were top of the leaderboard , with these 5 points secured.


    Karna knew that fighting for the white g again at this specific moment was stupidity , all ten members of his team were back near the base , whereas many squads were already at the central area where the g had spawned.


    Hence he chose to instead raid the nearest g base of yellow team. In a simmr attack formation , the five assaulters followed in a short distance by Jhonny and Medivh , swarmed the 3 men guarding yellow base.


    The three were no match for Karna and other top 10 yers , as they were cut through like knife in butter.


    Yellow teams g was then taken , and given to Jhonny and Medivh , to take back to base. The assault squad was nning to go onto purple squads base and steal their g too before retreating.


    Jhonny took the g , and he and Medivh retreated , when Medivh noticed that they had pursuers on his tail. Usingmunication magic , the defenders at the base were informed of this development.


    This is where Patch Mori showed his ss as a Zombiemancer. Summoning over 50 zombies , a entire unit stood guard in protecting the base.


    When the enemy closed in , they were terrified to see 50 zombies guarding the area. d in armour , and standing in formation ,one could tell that they were not mindless monsters at all.


    Patch Mori showed precise control as the zombies surrounded and killed the pursuers very methodically. Jhonny ced the g in the base area and after a while a +1 mark showed in the base tally.


    Overall the capture the g event was running smoothly , as Karna also came back with purple team g.


    The team then stuck to raiding these two bases time and time again , till after their third attack all the members of the base died . Unexpectedly upon destroying a base , they found out that +2 points were awarded.


    They took back the white g two more times and solidified their overall lead at 25 points above number two position with only 10 minutes remaining.


    With all 10 members alive , it was a decent performance overall. However it was far from perfect. A lot of mistakes were made and the overall battle n was not 100% efficient. Karna had a lot of learning to do.


    Unsurprisingly at the end with a lead of 22 points the team took the number one spot and hence earned their right to be japanese representatives.


    With this the selections came to an end. All the events representatives for japan had beenpleted , and from the next day onwards only training would ensue.


    The final list of participants was published , and a training schedule where one would train atleast 3 hours a day inside the training camp was mandatorily imposed for the entire month of November.


    Rudra was looking forward to this period , the government''s support towards development of each yer would be at the highest in this month. Good skills good sparring partners , good armour , anything and everything would be given , as long as he needed it.


    Rudra had to only ce a demand and the country would do it''s best to procure it for him. Such was the importance of the gold medal for the nation .


    A total of 23 Elites were selected in a total of 29 events , it was a number that made Rudra proud , his guild had a high representatives number , with the world watching , it was sure to leave a impression in the minds of all yers.


    As a result of the announcement of the VR Olympics , the prices ofmodities such as potions and cksmithing items like armour and swords had skyrocketed.


    Epic and above rated items were selling at the prices of real world inds , as countries were paying insane amounts of money to procure anything that could be helpful to the yers.


    Some items were forced off from low level yers , while some items were stolen from others , but as long as it helped the yers , the country would sully their hands and make sure that they got it for the yers.


    Mithun Ambani spent a fortune on acquiring good equipment for his people. He spend billions of dors this time around , and only chose from the best of the best .


    However contrary to his situation , The Elites lifestyle guild was bathing in money . The potion selling buisness had seen them selling a single advanced mana potion for 500 coins and still the stock would sell out everyday.


    The guild was making more money than it ever imagined as profit margins for products stopped making sense after a while. 500% margin 600% margin , yet they would sell out the moment they were put for sale.


    Being a 30% owner of the guild , Ethan Grey was actually making money everyday , contrary to Mithun loosing everyday , even though Ethan was literally spending more money on the Elites.


    The ten billion dor equipment the VR pods had just been delivered to the upside and as Rudra was still inside the game , one unit was carefully installed in his room and one in his office , as they awaited further instructions.


    It seemed like the gears were turning at a faster speed than ever , real world crime saw a spike as the knowledge that some friend possesed a rare item worth big money , motivated people tomit crime to extort money.


    The governments of various countries were aware of this development , however with the cuber corporation being in-charge of the future VR Olympics event , no country wanted to take a action just one month prior to the event.


    The hype within the general public was insane about the VR Olympics , the growing poprity of Omega saw many viewers following Omega news daily.


    With the Olympics drawing closer it was a world attraction now , as analysis about the various events and various participants was made daily.


    Although not every country made their list of participants public , as that would be a very dumb move. To let the world know your opposition ahead of time and let them prepare for it, some big names did personally reveal their participation in certain events. Some just wanted the attention , while some were bluffing about their involvement , either way the media tried to interview all potential participants .


    Only one month remained till the start of VR Olympics , all teams were made , and training had started for them all. After this single month , at the VR Olympics the fate of each country would be at the hands of a certain few yers.
