Chapter 262 - After A Month

The first day of training was hard , the second day was even harder. The muscle fatigue had finally reached the members and they felt soreness all over their body . Many groaned and complained about why did they have to do things like physical training for a game like Omega , that it made no sense.

However when you see that others even though complaining are doing the same thing , you start doing it under sheer peer pressure. The Elites were competitive by nature , hence when they saw that 5 of their colleagues decided to fight through the pain and go for training day 2 , they did not have the mental capacity to drop the training and stay home.

To them quitting was akin to admitting that they were inferior , if the others could do it , then soo could they! Hence 5 motivated 50 and 50 motivated 500 who brought everyone to attend training day 2.

Day 3 was the hardest , where the limits of one's mental and physical strength was tested. However 90% wethered day 3 , And it only got smoother from there.

Day 4 turned to day 7 in a blink of an eye , and the once hellish training started to feel routine now.

By day 8 , everyone started making it to through the first 20 minute jog properly , and Rudra started introducing the light stretches in the jog.

By day 15 , they now ran in disciplined files , like military , a group of passerby would mistake them for a army group running with discipline , they were that much in sync. While their basic grasps over every weapon and fundamental of hand to hand combat saw massive improvement.

The strength and conditioning training gave passive benefits to the members as they supplemented their strength to do every other training. The overall physical condition of everyone started to improove.

Rudra had everyone drink high grade nutritional foods and drinks , and they showed their magic ,as the innate constitution of players started to improove.

Fatty Kalash lost 5 killos in weight over the last 15 days , and was now able to handle the jogging with ease , even though he still continually cursed at Rudra.

Inside the VR world , the levelling had gotten intense as everyone earned 2-3 levels in the last few days.

Karna , Neatwit , Medivh , Jhonny , and every other Olympics participant had undertaken the tier promotion exam within the week and were now tier 2. The overall strength of the guild was rapidly improoving.

Neatwit became a beast after reaching tier 2 , even outperforming Rudra's initial selection record of reaching level 51. By reaching 52. It was a monstrous feat considering the stats disparity between the two.

Rudra realized this fact too , Neatwit was a damn natural when it came to farming mobs. It was like he was made for this.

Rudra spent one hour daily with his National battleground team , working on teamwork and tactics and it was not farfetched to say that they were a much more cohesive and stronger unit.

The same went for Karna and his team in capture the flag. Many different battle styles were explored and the team started to finally gel up and get used to each other's playing styles.

At day 22 , training started becoming fun for the members , they finally started feeling more energetic and healthy , while looking at themselves in the mirror they could see the difference. They were hooked now , and Rudra need not motivate them any longer for this.

The new set of armours and kits rolled in today , as the government got a level 60 dark gold warriors set for everyone. The government also gave a wide variety of weapons to choose from , all dark gold grade and a few epic ones.

Rudra was not interested in weapons , and he was not satisfied with the level 60 sets.

It was then that Ethan Grey started pulling strings , and got Rudra a level 75 dark gold knights full body armour set of 7 pieces . It rumored to cost him 25 billion dollars! But he spent it in a jiffy for Rudra.

Rudra was moved by this , he vowed to show its full glory in the coming VR Olympics.

At day 29 , the last day of training , the group was a beast unit now , Karna was always jacked , but now he looked completely shredded and ripped. His muscles that were once tight , now had flexibility and explosive strength.

The lean members had gained muscle , while the fat ones had lost weight. Overall each member looked healthy now , and although they did not know about it yet , their reflexes had improved by miles.

The results of this training would be shown in battle , training never goes to waste , and someday these beasts would show the effects of this training camp.

The training camp was such a huge success , that Rudra thought about making it a yearly affair.

Rudra was changed too , surprisingly he had became a layman in internal force , he could feel the force now ... His body had improved by leaps and bounds.

It happened while he was training with yume , while he was absorbed in trying to block his attacks in a sparring match.

Within that constant state of concentration he somehow managed to attain the first step in internal force manipulating and became a layman.

Yume was very proud of his instructions , Rudra was a natural. He did in a month what took most a year .

Even ingame Rudra's techniques had seen a massive improvement , now familiar with his new skillset he was a much more deadly player to face.

Everyone in the training camp knew this fact. In that one month. In one v one sparring matches , Rudra fought 263 battles with the score of

263-0

Wins to losses.

Once luck , twice and your skilled , 263 times , it becomes undeniable reality.

Unknowingly , everyone little by little started to accept him as the leader of the group , the representative of Japan and the number one player. Even if he was cold and arrogant , they beleived in him , and rooted for him. He motivated them all to be better .... It was as if they were reminded seeing him , that the ceiling is soo high , why are you happy being soo low?

Only one day remained till the VR Olympics arrived , and Rudra planned to use it to get into the mindset of the competition. No more training , no more learning new things , time to consolidate and focus on making the best of where he was.

He called for his stat pannel

He was satisfied with his stats and his skills , with these he truly felt prepared for the VR Olympics.

He knew the top players from his past life , and he knew how strong they were. Japan was a small country compared to the world stage and he was by no means a world class talent. However he was for sure smart enough to be a world class player. And had the skill to actually pull off a gold medal.

He was nervous about what the future held , however for the first time ever , the VR Olympics was not a event that threatened his guild . This was not a do or die event where if he failed then the Elites won't have a future anymore.

He had nothing to loose , hence he was the most dangerous version of himself. With nothing to loose , he only had the desire to gain everything left.

Ethan Grey had literally did the best of what he could offer to him , unquestionable 100% support.

The only thing Rudra wanted was to make that money loving guy feel that , yes he and his guild was worth every penny he invested.

He knew the stakes for Ethan and Japan , and knew that if he could somehow contribute in bringing the nation to top 5 , it would be huge for Ethan Grey.

Even though Ethan initially took him hostage and forced him into giving up stock of his guild. His deam . Now that Rudra looks at it , he felt it was worth every penny of stock he exchanged.

The rapid expansion of the Elites was only possible because of Ethan Grey , if the guild was not based in the upside , if the security was not soo good , and the facilities offered not world-class.

Rudra would have to face useless troubles daily just to run the guild normally. Scums like Nitin Advani and countless others would probably bully him real life to no end . His guild members probably turned into spies or snitches under blackmail .

Day to day operations would be a nightmare.

For all that Ethan had done , Rudra was truly grateful and wanted to sincerely help him back , And for that to happen , he was ready to pay him back in the VR Olympics.
