Growth (1)
it’s bland People stare at me as they pass by.
I’m waiting to get the ego sword back, because I couldn’t get into the women’s dormitory, so I was standing in front of the entrance.
Apparently, he’s wearing a patient’s uniform, and he’s wearing a coat, so he’s getting more attention. You can feel the sharp gaze of the dormitory superintendent from the inside.
‘Shall we wait a little longer?’
It would have been less so if Aiden had been with him, but Aiden said that he had to take care of her rice and went to another place.
Come to think of it, I am the owner, but somehow Aiden seems to be acting more like a master. I waited for Arwell on a bench a little away from the dormitory.
After such a long five minutes, Arwell came out of the dormitory. In Arwell’s arms, there was something wrapped in cloth. Looking at the protruding handle, it was clear that my ego sword was there.
Perhaps because I am not at the entrance, I see Arwell looking around to find me. I hurriedly approached him before going anywhere else.
“Ah, Seo Ji-Han.”
When I call your name, I look at you. Arwell held out the ego sword he was holding and held out to me.
“Here it is.”
A voice rang out as if waiting for it to be accepted.
[Kyo-oh clothes!!!]
Why is he fucking again? Unlike usual, it was a scream filled with anger. Then, unfamiliar words were heard one after another.
[Thank you, Seo Ji-han!]
I can only hear the voice of the Ego Sword. I didn’t answer unless I was alone, but this time I had no choice but to ask again.
It seems that the gaze of the Ego Sword is directed towards Arwell. He vomited his words out in rage, as if he was being pointed.
[That weapon man. Crazy bastard locked me in a closet without a single light! I’m glad you came back after a day, otherwise I would have been stuck there forever.]
Incarceration?
When I looked at Arwell involuntarily, Arwell blinked his innocent eyes.
“Why are you like that? What does the ego sword say?”
“uh? Oh no…”
I feel like I can’t answer for some reason. I just remembered something, so I turned around.
“I just wanted to remember a request I made a long time ago.”
“Yes? do you mean please? I don’t know what kind of request it is.”
Ummm, it was so long ago I forgot. Actually, I’m thinking about it now.
“Once upon a time, was it when he had a team game? You said something back then.”
“······oh!”
Arwell also involuntarily exclaimed if he remembered when he heard those words.
“sorry. I remember now.”
“Nope. I remember now.”
In the past, when I had time, I asked him to let me handle Arwell as a weapon. At that time, I already knew that I could only deal with the untitled, so I just said it.
‘Not anymore.’
I also checked the perk of the ‘Weapon Master’, which has the effect of ‘there is no weapon that cannot be handled’, so it became clear that I could handle Arwell.
What I want to check is the performance difference compared to when Noah Park handled it, and other perks.
It is natural that ‘Rian Arwell’ is the title heroine of the game. Even if you take another route with the other main heroine, ‘Youn-Ha Oh’, the common point of these routes is that unless Arwell dies, the role as a partner will continue to be maintained.
A special weapon like a holy sword, ‘Weapon Man’ Arwell is a weapon that grows like Noah Park.
Arwell’s growth is also one of the factors that increase his specs, but the most important thing is his sympathy with the untitled. That is the biggest factor that determines performance. As you can see in the other untitled Drakhan and Riel Arwell, the relationship between each other is very important.
That was the reason why Arwell’s favorability had to be prioritized and raised even when attacking other heroines.
‘Me and Arwell are just ordinary people.’
Even if there is an effect of increasing favorability, the limit is clear unless I am Park Noah. That’s why I know that even if I handle it, it doesn’t produce as much strength as when Noah Park did. But I have soul season and perks to cover that.
Just as the holy sword-only perk was activated when handling the holy sword, it was clear that the ’41st achievement’ would probably be activated as a perk when dealing with Arwell.
Arwell and Noah Park will be surprised to learn that I can handle a weapon man. Perhaps she would be mistaken for having untitled talent.
“Then do you want to do it now?”
“No, next time. I have an urgent business right now.”
“All right. Please tell me when you want.”
I turned around to greet Arwell.
“Then do your best. Don’t worry too much about Park Noah.”
Arwell smiled bitterly and went back to the dormitory.
I took out my phone and checked the text. A text message with the location of Ryu Seo-yeon to meet had arrived a while ago.
This is the last cafe I saw. It’s close to here so it won’t take much time.
[Kyot!]
It’s noisy, so when I have free time, should I just leave the Ego Sword at the dorm?
As I pondered for a while, a new type of system appeared in front of my eyes.
The commotion in the hospital gradually settled.
The Awakenings of the Earth, the police, came and tried to investigate the circumstances, but this was related to the tower. Beatrice prevented interference by putting up the position of commander of the Imperial Knights.
‘I don’t really like this.’
Beatrice was not at ease when she saw the rotten faces of the police. It was a problem that occurred on Earth, not the Tower, but it is not uncommon to prevent interference like this one, and it happened many times.
Beatrice, along with the other knights, cleaned up while the subordinate sent the cops back to appease them. His body was covered with a white cloth, and his neck, which had been neatly cut, was removed. It took about three hours for him to wipe down the blood and remove all elements of the scene.
Just then, a subordinate knight returned and approached Beatrice.
“Captain. They sent it back, but they said I should know what was going on.”
“ah. It’s fine up to there. Please tell me that there was a fight between the wizards.”
As the subordinate knight moved again, this time, he felt a chuckle from behind.
“It’s a lot of work.”
“Ah, thank you…”
Beatrice looked back and her expression rotted too. In front of her was Ron Ahart, the cause of the scene, standing indifferently.
“What are your thoughts on coming back?”
As if the work was over, Ahart, who had gone to Yoosung Academy with Seo Ji-han, returned. Beatrice turned and looked around. Some people may have seen Ron Ahata’s face at the scene.
“If you are interested, things might get bigger.”
The police were sent out saying it was something to do with the tower, but if the culprit is at the scene, that is another story. If the interference is prevented again this time, a big friction may occur.
‘It doesn’t make sense to come back just to take responsibility.’
Because Ron Ahart is no one else. However, Ahat scratched his cheek and answered bluntly.
“Then why didn’t you answer the phone?”
With those words, Beatrice immediately took out her phone. When I checked the screen, there were more than ten missed calls. Because the situation was situational, he didn’t feel it at all.
“There is no need to apologize. It happened while I was behind my back.”
“Yeah, that’s right. What are you in contact with?”
Ahat lifted her flowing glasses and opened her mouth.
“Perhaps when I return to the tower this time, as you can expect, I won’t be able to come down for a while. It means that if ‘something else’ happens, they can’t help.”
No matter how much you tell me to go, I can’t do it recklessly.
The power of wizards exists not as a ‘family’ but as a ‘school’. Schools dealing with space magic are few, so if they deal with the same type of magic, they coexist in order to survive.
In the case of this case, it was obvious that several schools would demand the punishment of Ahat, even if the number was small.
“You’ll be fine on your own, but I came here because I wanted to say a word to you.”
Ahat looked at Beatrice and tapped her head.
“Your strength is judgment, not force.”
“yes···?”
“Don’t be swayed by your emotions. And feel the weight of your position.”
“… all of a sudden, I don’t know what that means.”
Even with Beatrice’s words, Ahat turned around without adding any words.
“Hmm. will you find out later? Then I’ll go because I don’t have time.”
“Who are you going with?”
“I am returning to the tower with the wizards of that school earlier.”
Beatrice was at a loss for words at the answer.
You’re with the comrades of the people you just killed. He is also a scary person.
I was embarrassed for a while, but I was able to sort things out with a calm mind. It was clear that another factor intervened in the place where Noah Park went that suddenly came to mind.
The 7th perk is the achievement of seeing a ‘bad ending with a neutral tendency’.
This ending can be seen as a story that breaks along the way, just like the name of the privilege.
‘It’s a game over ending with nothing to finish.’
An ending that occurs forcibly when the scenario is no longer able to proceed. The ending credits go up in such a way that time is skipped and the world is eventually destroyed.
It is a trigger that works forcibly if it does not satisfy the minimum of a certain level of ability, the main story, or even one factor of the liking of colleagues or heroines until a certain point.
There doesn’t seem to be any problem though. If it was a game, it would be forced to end here, but now my situation is reality.
‘In hardcore difficulty, the main story also comes out from the final chapter, so it’s not impossible to change the flow of the story.
When the perk was activated, it meant that it could be deactivated, so it was a kind of ‘warning’ signal. A few things came to mind as to what factors were involved, but there were so many things to consider that I wasn’t sure.
‘In the end, only Park Noah has to die.’
A permanent death that cannot respawn is also an ending of this type, but the ending script is slightly different.
If the pagoda’s child, Noah Park, dies, the ‘103rd Tower’ cannot maintain its existence, so a script is posted stating that all areas of the earth have been turned into a nether due to erosion.
While I was thinking, I arrived at the cafe where I last saw Ryu Seo-yeon. First of all, I have to finish my work with Ryu Seo-yeon and think of a plan. If you leave a text message, Noah Park will call you back.
slinky. When I opened the door and entered, there were not many customers inside, so it was quiet. But Ryu Seo-yeon was nowhere to be seen.
‘…was it fishing?’
I thought it might be something to write respectfully. I approached the manager of the cafe just in case.
“Chief, maybe…”
“Uh. Is your name over there, Seo Ji-han?”
“yes? Yes. That’s right.”
For some reason, the manager spoke first. After checking my name, the manager leaned over and pulled out something.
“Someone asked me to hand over this for you. ok!”
I wondered if it was ‘Liyu’, but what the manager pulled out wasn’t a glass box, but a huge, elongated, silvery case. From the outside, it looked very sturdy.
“What did you hear that made it so heavy…”
“Do you know where the person who entrusted this to you went?”
“I do not know. They only take out coffee, so I don’t know.”
···Ryu Seo-yeon. You didn’t want to see me in the first place.
I don’t know what this is, but I’ll have it with me. Did you put liu in this?
prick. Then, when I grabbed the handle of the case, a mechanical voice came out from the inside of the case.
[Seo Seo-han. Verified.]
A click was heard and the case unlocked. I checked it here, so I went out of the cafe and opened the case in an empty place.
Then something unexpected happened.
What was in the case wasn’t Liu, but the ‘custom weapon’ I asked for Ryu Seo-yeon.
I reflexively reached out and grabbed the weapon and raised it. When exposed to sunlight, it sparkles and reflects light from the luster of the surface.
