Chapter 245 - Prison Escape Event
Rudra continued to dominate the one v one fights , he had one 63 matches in a row , with none going over 1 minute. And without loosing a single point in HP.
He had an absolutely stellar performance soo far , and the officials in the bunker were speachless at the talent of the man. He went onto the top 8 without losing a single point in HP.
They had goosebumps watching Rudra's performance , although all 7 others were also great fighters , none was as stellar as Rudra , they could predict that even in the top 8 , he would not face much difficulty.
If there was anyone who could rival Rudra in the top 8 , it was Jin Mori , the dark barbarian , his brute strength was terryfingly high.
Amongst the top 10 overall performers from the basic test . Only Rudra and Jin Mori chose the one v one event.
Karna , Neatwit , Nero , Patch Mori none of them chose to go for this event. Although they could have became a formidable force if they did choose to fight..
For Karna the reason was as simple as , he did not want to fight Rudra , he was not afraid to fight Rudra , just simply that he did not wish to fight his friend , while a small part in him also believed it would be very tough to win.
For Neatwit he had his eyes set on the tower clearing event and his second choice was first blood match . Hence he did not wish to compete in one v one.
For Nero and Patch Mori , they were necromancer and Zombiemancer class , hence one v one was not their strength , hence they decided to take a pass on the event.

( Quarterfinals of the one v one battle , national selections , japan )
Kakuzu stood waiting for his opponent , however he was shocked to see that it was Shakuni himself.
Kakuzu said " Well , well , what an honour to fight the number one seed in the initial rounds. Sorry , but your journey ends here ".
Rudra who had just spawned emotionlessly stood there and for the first time drew out Excalibur alongside Elven sword for dual wielding.
He knew Kakuzu was strong , However had no wish to drag this at all.
Rudra closed in the distance between him and Kakuzu , kakuzu too unlike most who would go on defensive , chose to fight back , and run towards Rudra for a Slash.
Kakuzu' s sword Slash was a tad bit faster than Rudra , and hence he smiled , at the trajectory it was going , it would be a critical hit on Rudra.
However something unexpected happened , the moment where his sword was supposed to hit the neck of his opponent , he vanished.
His swing missed completely as he cut air , throwing him off balance.
At the last possible second Rudra had used blink , and was now vertically above Kakuzu . As his sword came down in a single movement and slashed Kakuzu's neck instead.
The Elven sword went clean through his neck , as it was a armour piercing critical strike. Kakuzu was killed in a single move , within 9 seconds!
Rudra had won the quarterfinals in a overwhelming fashion.
The onlookers were completely stunned , winning the earlier rounds was easy , however winning the quarters within 10s showed that he was a mile apart from the others .
Jin Mori took 7 minutes to win his quarter final match , and after both he and Rudra won the semi finals as well the two of them were chosen to qualify as representatives of Japan.
Each country had choice to send 2 representatives for each event , hence there was no point in them both fighting.
Rudra had secured a spot for himself in overwhelming fashion for the first event!

( Meanwhile in the prison escape event)
The prison escape event in the national selections was a much easier and mock layout , that was not the final layout for the world games. However SMG , and sir Jhonny were both participating in the event.
SMG was a trained assasin in the real world and prison escape was a part of his training . Although no equipment was allowed in prison escape event , he managed to stiffle a piece of wire in his mouth and surprisingly it teleported with him inside his prison cell.
With this wire he carefully picked the prisons lock , and took out the first guard from behind his back using stealth.
The prison escape event only had 24 hours , and if nobody escaped the prison , nobody got a medal. The rules were simple , the moment a guard seed you , and shoots at you , you are dead.
SMG had no idea about the prison layout and had no time to figure it out. He decided that his best chances were to take out the guards stealthily and slowly try to get out while gathering more information.
After he took out the patrolling guards in his dorm , he found a room named guard room , and he entered that room while making no sound . Inside the guard room there was a map of the prison. SMG carefully studied the map making his escape plan.
Meanwhile , Jhonny was also inside a prison cell , however unlike SMG he was very much still inside the cell.
Jhonny thought " Huh , soo this is the inside of a prison eh.... Thankgod I'm not in one right now , with the things iv done I'd probably be in solitary ".
He looked at the bars and then tried to bend them with all his strength.
" Aaghhhhhhh"
He shouted as he tried to bend the bars , but it did not budge at all.
Huffing and puffing he said " Soo sturdy ".
Meanwhile a patrolling guard looked at his antics like ' Is this guy nuts? '.
When Jhonny looked at the patrolling guard his face turned red ..... He hurriedly said " I'm not trying to flee sir guard , beleive me , I'm innocent , iv been wrongfully put in prison . I deserve my freedom ".
The guard had enough of his nonsense and said " Shut up ,or no bath for you today prisoner 655D".
Jhonny looked offended , he said " Sir I have the freedom of speach , how dare you impede on my freedom ,I will sue you in court ".
The guard walked away disregarding Jhonny 's words.
Jhonny looked frustrated , he said " JAWS OF STEEL ".
and started biting the steel bars. Ofcourse to no effect.
The 2 patrolling guards of the floor , now both came in to enjoy the show , as the other inmates on the floor slowly slipped by one by one.
Meanwhile the onlookers from the bunker were absolutely dumbfounded seeing Jhonny , Ethan Grey had his head buried in his hands , he was ashamed , he had talked soo highly about sir Jhonny and here he was making a fool of himself.
Most generals gave Ethan a sneaky glance like ' Is this buffoon really the world's greatest mercenary Jhonny English? '.
After a while Jhonny gave up , and started reading a book inside his cell , while playing with a tennis ball. At this point SMG had already completed half the prison escape . He only needed 2 or 3 more hours to escape.
