Novel Full Chapter 278 - Fatty Wins!
Tensions were high as the judge evaluated the last contestant . Hephaestus Jr from Greece. The design he made looked intricate and complicated , it was a beautiful crossbow that he has made . The sides were engraved and overall it looked like a masterpiece. The rating of the item was Dark gold .
Rudra's heart skipped a beat when the rating turned out to be dark gold , he was sure it was a epic rated item or above. Just speaking objectively his piece looked much better than Fatty Kalash 's , also a crossbow might get a higher evaluation than a chainmail.
If he got the same evaluation as number two holder , then it would mean the event would end with one gold and two silver medals. No broze. If he went above that mark getting a 10/10 evaluation then he would clutch the silver. The only way fatty got a medal is if Hephaestus Jr got the same marks as Fatty or less.
Something about the entire thing however felt fishy to Rudra , why did he present a crossbow to the judge without a arrow loaded?
That is when Rudra noticed , Hephaestus Jr 's doom . The guy had tried to sneakily get past it , but the AI could not be fooled. The hook to load the chain in the stretched position was missing.
The crossbow did not work , it was nothing more than a showpiece how it stood. Making the hook was not a big issue , any average Joe could do it. Hephaestus Jr had perfectly crafted the entire design with precision. It was supposed to come out a semi legendary item , but his first mistake came at the alloy purity , which degraded the construction . Even soo it was a magnificent piece , however the in the last part of the construction , he applied a little too force and the hook cracked. With only 3 minutes to go , he had no option but to assemble the pieces as they stood.
Hence what he could present was only a incomplete product , sneakily trying to avoid that mistake , he presented the crossbow without loading the string and the arrow. However the AI was all-knowing.
The AI rated his piece as a 6/10 ! , Meaning he scored below Fatty. Fatty won bronze!
Hephaestus Jr was devastated , he was Greek's top seed in this competition who was one of the favourites for medal winners. However a single mistake costed him his title!

( Real world )
When Hephaestus Jr got a lower evaluation than Fatty the entire True Elites guild hall bursted into cheers and celebration. Boys ripped their tshirts , and girls hugged each other in tears of joy.
Mayhem descended in the guild hall , the first day of the VR Olympics and the small guild of True Elites had taken the world stage by storm. Two gold medals , two bronze medals. They were the sole contributors in Japan's number one position.
Rudra held a hand to his forehead , and laughed silly , sir Jhonny and Fatty actually pulled it off. What the hell was going on? What kind of guild did he create?
Flashbacks of him and Fatty as regular high schoolers flashed back in his mind. How they would be the most unnoticeable kids in school , nothing too much about them and just a few years later here they were , shining brighter than all the first benchers in school , winning medals for their country.
It all felt surreal , Everyone was over the moon inside the guild , nobody had logged in to play Omega today , only the few who had to train for Olympics were playing , everyone else had gathered here to cheer on their fellow colleagues and boy o boy did they not dissapoint.
Rudra thought about how Ethan Grey brought in Jhonny English to his guild , he knew at that very moment that the guy was something else , he was the real deal. Rudra genuinely never expected a gold from him , even in the preliminaries he was a silver medalist a tad below Fatty , yet on the grandest stage he clutched a win.
He remembered how he and sir Yume were going old school and learning from magazines when he visited them. Both of them were in their fifties and a pillar of maturity and support in the guild. Cool , collected and old school.
Rudra felt satisfied with the results , this exceeded his expectations , he now wondered how Ethan felt about all this.

( Japanese headquarters )
When Japan clutched another double medal , the office went into uproar , the results on first day had far exceeded everyone 's expectations. It is one thing to expect medal from a top contender and another to actually win it.
Just the first day and Japan already won two gold medals and two bronze medals , it was absolutely shocking to say the least.
However what was more shocking was that they all were from True Elites guild , President Shinzo now became even more excited to visit the soo called upside. At first he was going to visit the parents and homes of Rudra and Naman , however now he changed his mind and decided to visit the Elite tower.
He decided that making the Elites the face of Japanese Olympics would bolster the country's image , hence made a plan accordingly.
Ethan Grey was over the moon when Japan won another two medals , his wide grin would not dissapear from his face at all. When Jhonny and Kalash kept acting like complete buffons he felt embarrassed , but it doesn't matter if they act like buffons or complete idiots till they won! And they won!
The world worships the victors , if they had lost they would have been mocked. But they won and the world would only have praises for their attitude now , it was how society worked. They went from idiots to national heroes in a matter of moments.
#iwanttobeapirate was trending on number 1 spot worldwide. Fatty had became a meme and a pirate icon
The first day for Japan had been a absolutely blast , winning two gold medals in first three events. They were undeniable top of the table nation.
The celebration in the room , came to a abrupt pause when the commentators came down to the arena to interview the winners.
