Chapter 199 – Chapter 199 Hero Academy (3-6)
After purchasing the basic items at the headquarters, I immediately headed for the line Cho Seo-hyeon told me about.
The bottom is where I need to go.
Most of the time, it was said that a one-hander like me would go to the lower end.
And above all, I wasn’t going to the lower end alone.
Next to me was a character who looked like a grim reaper holding a huge side-shaped weapon.
And after arriving at the lower area, he greeted me.
“Hello.”
Politely….
“Hello.”
I was greeted once….
‘I don’t want to be crazy close….’
[Still, I am currently Suho’s partner. You don’t have to make a bad impression.]
‘The face is a skull…. The desire to have a conversation disappears.’
It was the first time I started playing this game, so it was a bit burdensome to see the appearance expressed so nakedly.
However, the character with the face of a skeleton kindly led the conversation.
“Maybe we’ll have to wait a bit longer for the minions to come out.”
“A minion?”
“If you eat that, you get gold.”
“Ah….”
It sounded like he was talking shit. I heard it in a tutorial, but I had already forgotten it all.
But that didn’t matter. A feeling came.
‘… I got a hint.’
[What prompt are you talking about?]
I smiled softly and reached out to the skeleton for a handshake.
“Take good care of me. It’s my first time today, so please forgive me if I make a mistake.”
“Aha! It’s okay. Actually, it’s my first time today too.”
The skeleton held my hand and shook it with an expression that did not know whether it was laughing or crying.
With a finger that only exists as a bone….
Then, shaking his hand, he suddenly began to apologize.
“I’m sorry.”
“Yes? What… ?”
In response to my question, although the skeleton did not show an expression, he said with a puzzled expression.
“I’m sorry about what you said earlier.”
“Ah….”
After all, my senses are certain!
‘It’s a woman!’
[… Even if she’s a woman anyway, her current appearance is a skeleton, right?]
‘Better than a boy….’
Well, it’s not that I’m attracted to you because I’m a woman, but I just want it to be a little better if the person I’m talking to is a woman.
And above all, he seemed to have a good personality. He seemed to have a personality that wouldn’t bother nagging.
As I look around, the skeleton continues its story with a perplexed air.
“My brother was always with me, but I kept having problems with the characters who use bows.”
“Ah… Are you my older brother?”
“Pu-hu! No. We are dating.”
“Aha~”
He kept saying he was my brother, so I thought he was my real brother….
‘To think that such a rude guy has a girlfriend….’
I wondered if I was deliberately playing normal because I was playing games with my girlfriend.
While the two of us were talking like that, a minion on our side was creeping in from behind like a ghost.
And on the other side, along with the minions, two characters from the other side slowly began to approach.
I murmured softly as I looked at the friendly skeleton.
“Then… Let’s go.”
..
..
The skeleton nodded her head and looked at me.
“Wow… Is this really your first time today?”
“Yes.”
She kept praising me in an admiring voice as she looked at me.
But when I saw that skeleton looking at me, I was afraid that a scene from Final Destination would appear during the game.
Even if you run away to live, you will end up dying….
But for that to happen, at least guys from different lines had to come together at once.
First of all, there was a big difference in level between the opponent and me on the line I was on.
I never missed a minion, but my opponent couldn’t eat 10 of them.
In addition, as I continued to check it, after the blood fell below 10%, it was in a state of retreat.
[Suho. Why don’t you deal with it?]
In fact, if I tried to catch it, I could catch it more than ten times.
But the reason I didn’t catch it was simple.
‘Isn’t it interesting?’
[….]
In fact, in the name of practice, he was saving his life with less than 10% of his blood left.
Playing with the guys on the other side was more fun than I thought.
It was felt that there was a difference in skill to the extent that the kill angle came out once every few seconds.
First of all, it was no big deal to hit the basic arrow.
Cho Seo-hyeon was rather worried because of my high archery skills, but my archery skills were not acquired through hard work in the first place.
It’s just that Joon-ryeok took care of everything.
Thanks to that aim, I was able to progress through this game with ease.
It wasn’t me, it felt like my aiming power was driving the game.
The problem is skill.
It was important for me to understand the skill and use it according to my needs.
‘I have no choice but to learn by writing….’
When I checked my skills and looked away, I heard Lena’s voice over the communication.
[Master, another surprise attack is expected this turn.]
‘Five! Thank you!’
I listened to Lena’s words and calmly fell towards the tower.
The skeleton tilted its head at my appearance and asked.
“Uh… ? Are you missing out again?”
“Yeah, I’m kind of anxious.”
“Ah~ You can see the ward spread over there, right? It’s safe.”
The skeleton showed the mini-map with a clattering face and seemed to be trying to wash away my anxiety.
Perhaps, from the perspective of the skeleton, I looked like a relatively newbie.
But at that moment, something came into my sight, and I yelled at the skeleton.
“Well? Fall back!”
A guy who seemed to specialize in Muay Thai jumped out of the bushes.
“Yes? Wow!”
The skeleton, hurriedly returning to my words, was frightened and moved toward the tower with me.
The skeleton complimented me after coming to the tower.
“Phew… I almost got beaten.”
“Wow… Be great!”
In fact, the skeleton’s praise should be received by Lena, not me.
‘Thank you, Lena.’
[This is my job.]
Lena’s laughter was heard through the communication.
Lena, who has the best eyesight among us, had one more talent.
-[Strategy LV 43]-
A talent that drove the main character of the zodiac, Demon King Guardia, into a corner.
From Lena’s point of view, I told her that the behavior of people who play this game now belongs to the very easy side.
She said in her own words that the sight of an ally being shared was already close to fraud.
Lena looked at the mini-map, predicted her movements, and reported to me from time to time while I was holding my opponent in check.
Thanks to this, instead of dying, I was able to take advantage by making the other side go nowhere.
First of all, our line did not come out with KDA in particular, but it was holding the upper hand.
The problem was above.
The line with me and the skull was at the bottom.
And there is an upper and middle section, and Cho Seo-hyeon was an assassin who roamed all the lines from time to time.
Clearly, our team was winning.
The top team is already unstoppable with a huge number of kills.
Intermission was also easy, and Cho Seo-hyun also went around all the lines to support.
All lines were winning.
The problem is the mouth.
“Fuck… I told you not to eat keel, didn’t you?”
“… Did the curse stick to your mouth? Then miss it?”
“If you’re going to eat like that, just don’t come!”
The guy who was arguing with me earlier and Cho Seo-hyun were growling.
In the beginning, Seohyun also ignored it as much as she could, as if she tried to tolerate it at first, but it seemed that she couldn’t stand it at all when he started arguing with him.
The skeleton next to Cho Seo-hyun bowed his head and apologized to me.
“Sorry, sorry… Little brother… How to say… I tend to get frustrated when things don’t go the way I want.”
Haha…. I’m more worried about my party than me.”
To be honest, I felt sorry for Cho Seo-hyun when this situation came to pass.
In the first place, I wondered if that guy was more crazy because I played a character like this….
One side bowed her head because she was ashamed of her boyfriend, and the other side bowed her head because she felt sorry for her companion.
But even so, the reason I couldn’t say anything was because of the man’s skills.
16/0/4
It was a KDA built up in less than 20 minutes.
No matter how much it was a normal match, no one could say anything because it showed that much skill.
When I saw the number of kills, I started to get angry.
‘What are you doing? Are you saying shit because you accidentally ate it only 4 times?’
[….]
Besides, if you were quiet at first, you wouldn’t even talk.
All of those assists shuddered at Cho Seo-hyun.
Above all, Cho Seo-Hyun was good at handing over kills to allies on the line with high-level skills.
He didn’t see it in person, but if it was Cho Seo-hyeon, it was highly likely that he would have decided that he had no choice but to catch it.
‘No, but why is Cho Seo-hyun playing this game….’
This is part of the reason why I don’t like online games very much.
I hate the fact that the story part is weak, but the reason I hate it the most is the trouble.
Even small troubles can annoy you, and when you meet a guy like that, you want to throw a jukbang right away.
I would rather bear it if I thought that I could take revenge later like Yggdrasil.
However, it is common for online games to never see each other for the rest of their lives once they lose an argument and break up.
In the end, if he loses in an argument, he spends the day under the blanket swearing and cursing in the language of hell.
I thought about why Seohyun Cho was playing this game. And one came to mind.
‘Is overcoming trauma the goal?’
[It is very likely.]
‘….’
If that was really the purpose, I was thinking of seeing Cho Seo-hyeon again.
If that’s true, Cho Seo-hyun is a great woman.
Most people will have at least one or two of those traumas.
And it’s not something you can overcome just because you want to overcome it.
As Armonia said before, negative temperament continues to appear even after erasing it.
You must erase it with your own efforts, not Enel’s.
In such a state, Seohyeon Cho passionately taught the cadets and tried to overcome her own trauma.
She was a woman I really liked.
‘I act like a kid sometimes, but….’
While I was thinking about Cho Seo-hyun, a large message window popped up before I knew it.
-Victory-
“Yes?”
“It looks like you’ve been talking about it for 20 minutes.”
“Are you Seoren?”
“It is surrender. 20 minutes after the game starts. It’s something you can do.”
She remembered seeing it in the tutorial.
And when everything was sorted out, I was summoned to the place where I was picking characters earlier.
There, our side and the other side gathered together and were summoned.
And the other side started swearing.
“What the fuck! What kind of game is that….”
“You have to come with a gang to get kills.”
“What are you going to do! You’re not responding!”
“Jungle difference~~~”
It was a real mayhem.
Compared to the other team, our team could be said to have a friendly atmosphere.
Except for the two….
“… Let’s go, Jia.”
“Uh… Yes.”
The skeleton called Jia looked at me, lowered his head, and left the place.
After the two disappeared, I also left the place with Cho Seo-hyeon.
..
..
“That… I’m sorry, Instructor Cho Seo-hyun.”
“What?”
“I picked this character for no reason….”
“… There are many things to be sorry for.”
Cho Seo-hyun smiled bitterly and said.
“I’m sorry I asked to be with you. A little… It made me look ugly.”
“I don’t think so at all.”
I said with a smile.
“By the way… Because of Instructor Seohyeon Cho’s skill, it ended easily, so I still have no idea what kind of game it is.”
“Heh… Big….”
When Cho Seohyun heard that her skills were good, she laughed for a moment, then she cleared her expression and opened her mouth.
Actually, those words were sincere.
Because the game ended too quickly, I hadn’t even used an archery before.
Not to mention, I hadn’t even used the normal skill a few times.
“Come to think of it, it sounds pretty good, right? It was my first time and I did very well in the lineup. Not die.”
“Thank you. Then can I try this character one more time?”
“Hi and… I’m hooked.”
Cho Seo-hyun laughed out loud and pressed the matchmaker search button.
I thought as I pressed the button and saw Cho Seo-hyun making a serious expression.
‘If you play games to overcome trauma… A better situation?’
Only Cho Seo-hyun will know what he thinks of me right now.
However, if you are really working hard to overcome the trauma, I will end up joining in that effort too.
It was a companion that could affect the liking.
As I was thinking about Cho Seo-hyeon, a window popped up saying Daejeon had been captured.
Second, Seohyun smiled brightly and touched her window.
“Ruler! Let’s go!”
As if I joined Cho Seo-hyun’s voice, I touched the position button on the hologram window.
..
..
As soon as Cho Seohyun picked a character and identified her opponent, she bit her lip in a troubled voice.
“Why, that guy….”
“It’s difficult.”
I opened my mouth as if I was worried as if it flowed along with Cho Seo-hyun’s worrying words.
“You must remember our ID too, right?”
“If you look at his actions, he seems like an idiot and doesn’t seem to be able to remember….”
Haha….”
I laughed and checked the members of the opposing team once again.
I looked at it a couple of times just in case, but I couldn’t believe my eyes anymore.
-Bug Killer- -Saint Blue-
They were definitely a couple from the same team earlier.
