General exhibition (1)
I lay in bed and fiddled with my phone.
Of course, it was time to check out the newly unlocked perks. Every time this happens, I’m always excited. When you touch the folded privilege column, the privileges that are currently active appear.
Let’s see. Was it 52? I was able to find it quickly by looking at the perks that are always applied.
[Special. 52 – The effect of ‘Little Power’ is activated.]
[Region, within ‘Meteor Academy’, all stats rise by 2 ranks, always applied]
All stats are increased by 2 ranks. pretty good? No, on the contrary, it was one of the best perks that had been activated so far.
There is a condition that it applies only within the ‘Meteor Academy’, but even considering that, it is unconventional to raise it by 2 ranks without any restrictions.
okay. How nice it is to have such an intuitive perk.
It was a pity that the perks that were relatively recently unlocked were indirect enhancements.
Especially Eclipse. I had high expectations because it was a perk I got after clearing the final chapter, but it was only the power to handle erosion and divine power well.
It’s the most difficult type of power to deal with, so it seems like it’s worthy of the final chapter perks…
‘I mean, I didn’t climb the growth tree that way.’
If you give it that, it’s just a pearl necklace around the pig’s neck.
‘little power’.
No one will know the value of this perk. This is probably because it is only activated in ‘Meteor Academy’, not ‘outside’ or ‘tower’. But that’s because I don’t know this game.
From the moment the ‘Tower’s Protection’, which can be called the true main part of the game, disappears, the safe zone no longer exists in this worldview.
As the ‘Nether’ area begins to gradually expand into the pioneering area, enemies will continue to come from outside to invade the tower.
One of the places used as a base to stop it is the Yoosung Academy.
In other words, it is safe to say that this privilege reveals its true value from the point of view of the apocalypse. By that time, I would have reached the limit of my ability enhancement, so a 2nd rank increase would come back as a huge advantage.
‘Anyway, this will make tomorrow’s general a little easier.’
In addition to the 82nd special ‘For 1st Place’, which is only activated during the sports festival, my ability level has risen by a total of 3 grades. However, looking at the players in the overall match, there were no opponents who could win even with their abilities.
‘…there are so many monsters.’
The winners of the 2nd and 3rd graders were supporting characters in the original, even though I’ve never met them.
Jean Hart, a 3rd grader, and Jeron Schubert, a shadowy 2nd grader. They were the winners of this Dalian.
Is there any contact with Noah Park…? For the three months I was away, I must have been involved in some way.
At that time, the status window disappeared and a screen indicating that a call was received appeared instead. I slide the phone button and hold the phone close to my ear.
“Oh, Aiden.”
[-hello? Jihan?]
Aiden’s voice was heard. For some reason, the tone is slightly higher than usual, and it is in a lively state. If it’s natural, it’s natural.
“Congratulations on winning the Magic Festival.”
[- Whoops. Of course.]
He said in a tone that it was nothing special, but he could not hide the joy that was oozing out of his tone. I will too.
“Did you say that it was the first time a first-year student won a magic festival?”
It was because Aiden was the first to win the first year at the Magic Festival.
[-yes. What is it? I didn’t know? Congrats to Jihan on advancing to the overall!]
“Hmmmm. Even congratulations in a manly manner with the obvious.”
Ha ha ha!
After discussing how to paint each other’s faces with gold for a while, we got to the point.
“So, did you know a little bit?”
[-yes. I asked Charlotte-senpai to find out what ‘Rebuild’ was up to recently. Even now, do you know that the wizards sent out from the tower keep disappearing?]
“Oh, you know.”
Because the scenario of the fallen hero, which should have been left after the original ending, has not yet progressed, the radius of Drakhan’s activity has become more prominent. If Beatrice hadn’t told him, he would have noticed this change right away.
[-As the wizards keep disappearing in the rebuild, they must have set up a base outside and tried to investigate in earnest.]
“Eh? Have you still had orders? I know that you are still putting in a quest for the Yoosung Academy.”
[-Right. So when I asked, they kept saying they refused because of ‘Pay’.]
“···really?”
[-···yes.]
star crazy.
It’s somewhat understandable. This is because if you receive a quest as an aspiring hero, the cost will be endless.
It’s not like you’re asking for a solution in the first place in the Tower. They just expected a level of reconnaissance to gather information.
However, if you receive a request as an official guild called Rebuild instead of as a hero aspirant, the width of the request is very different.
“Pay is important from the standpoint of risking your life. It’s true, but aren’t all wizards business partners? In the yard that continues to die, the tower does not show any further movement.”
[-Ah~. It’s a business partner, that’s not it.]
Then Aiden nailed it and said no.
[-So Jihan and the other Awakened Awakeners with guns are all business partners? If you look at it broadly, it might be true, but it’s not friendly.]
“… it is.”
It’s such a closed group, so even if they know each other sporadically, that’s probably all. To what extent is it a business relationship?
As the erosion continues to descend downstairs, and the number of wizards is also reduced, it seems that the checks between the groups are continuing even in this situation.
‘It was the same even if the protection of the tower disappeared, so the current situation would be no different.’
On the contrary, it will be even worse.
[-Anyway, I will pass these on to Ahat, okay?]
“uh. No problem. I had a hard time getting out.”
[-It was nothing! And after hanging up, I will send you a text message, which is my present to Ryu Seo-yeon.]
“Um, a gift?”
[-Yes Yes. By the way, there is Gyeonggi-do tomorrow, but I kept holding on to it. get a good night’s sleep I’ll cut it off~.]
“Ugh. You sleep well too.”
drop. I got a text message right after I hung up the phone.
[Aiden: ‘Dirty Child’. It’s a mercenary group that Rebuild hired.]
…sometimes I think about it, how difficult it would have been if Aiden had been an enemy rather than an ally. Now that he is an ally, he cannot be reassured.
I sent a text message saying thank you and called Ryu Seo-yeon right away.
Terry-. The phone was answered before it even rang once. A faint breath was heard from the other side of the phone, followed by a familiar voice.
[-hello?]
[-Hello? I got a call~]
what? I asked in an absurd tone.
“Why are you answering Ryu Seo-yeon, Oh Yun-ha?”
Oh Yoon-ha frowned at the harsh voice.
He hugged the pillow that was waiting next to him and said in a voluptuous voice. Naturally, a hard tone emerges.
“So, do you have any complaints now?”
[-no. That’s not it. I have something to say to Ryu Seo-yeon…]
Seo Ji-han’s voice softened little by little. It was clear that he was dead.
‘huh. I’m black.’
Oh Yoon-ha leaned against the wall while holding her smartphone while sniffling. She had to be careful not to hear the sound of Ryu Seo-yeon’s shower coming from the bathroom, so she couldn’t hear her water.
“So what? Why did you call me?”
When I raised my voice a little, I heard a rustling noise. It was louder than I thought, and it seemed to widen the distance from the smartphone.
[-Where is Ryu Seo-yeon?]
“I’m busy, so just tell me.”
[-Ummm….]
His voice was cut off as if he was thinking about it for a while, but Seo Ji-han spoke immediately.
[-I know who the group that attacked Ryu Seo-yeon was. ‘Dirty Child’. That’s the name of the mercenary group.]
“…is that reliable?”
[-uh. You can believe it. Come to think of it, didn’t you say you caught one too?]
“yes. Seoyeon sneaked into the dorm and caught the boy. So she’s temporarily staying in my room right now.”
[-So that’s why you answered Ryu Seo-yeon’s phone call… Anyway, I’m calling to tell you this. Please tell me.]
“Okay. I’m sleepy, so hurry up.”
It was a short conversation, but Oh Yoon-ha grumbled as if it was bothersome. And she paused for a moment before opening her mouth again.
“Oh, and congratulations on going to the general event…”
Tutu-. The phone was already disconnected.
Oh Yoon-ha, who stopped talking, looked at the smartphone, which was already on the standby screen, and became angry for nothing.
“·······A.C.”
Then he threw Ryu Seo-yeon’s cell phone onto the bed and lay down, hugging the pillow.
Bump. Just then, the door that had been closed was opened.
“Oh, it’s sweet. Younha, wash up now.”
Ryu Seo-yeon, hot steam rising from her head, came out of the bathroom. Her black hair was wet with blue light. Ryu Seo-yeon looked at his cell phone on his bed and asked.
“What, did you call? who?”
Ryu Seo-yeon, who had a pale face, tilted her head to the side and wiped the flowing hair with a towel. Oh Yoon-ha saw it and made a camera shape with her hands, giving off a bold voice like an uncle.
“hey. miss. Can the mercenaries be wiped out easily?”
“···Well? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Ryu Seo-yeon just rolled her eyes until she heard Seo Ji-han’s words.
“Ugh. I slept well.”
I woke up refreshed. Finally, the last day of the sports festival. Since the general match started in the morning, it was necessary to prepare quickly.
murmur murmur.
I was about to change into my gym clothes after washing my face, but it was already noisy outside.
Haven’t tried 7 yet? Looking out the window, the club members were already preparing their booths.
Everyone is diligent. Aren’t you tired? As it was the last day, I felt exhausted from the heat, but there was no sign of that. It’s the last day, so maybe I’m getting stronger.
I changed my gym uniform while watching the scene blankly. And then a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
‘Ugh. Come to think of it, I’ve never been to a game club.’
I was begging you to come. Shall we go here to refresh our mood for a moment? At the sports festival, Dalian and Ryu Seo-yeon’s escort were just busy without any stall.
Even though we made it to the general match, there is no guarantee that we will win 1st place, so the only thing we have for sure is one magic stone… When I searched my pocket and took out the magic stone, the color was definitely brighter than before.
This manastone, which was bright blue, was filled with my mana. It will be of great help when proceeding with the Corrupted Hero scenario later.
I put the magic stone back in my pocket and turned around.
The general match started at 9:30. There was some leeway.
‘I really only do one round, huh.’
As a pro gamer, I have a disease that can’t stand itchy hands.
