Chapter 1730 – 1730. Savior of the Academy
The environment changed in an instant. I was standing in front of a city fountain. The city resembled a medieval fantasy game. It was too clean to be just called the Middle Ages.
“You… Sota! You are here!”
Sung Ha-ri came first. He was wearing a school uniform just like we saw in real life. It fits very well.
“Ah, sister. You came first.”
Oh my sister As if the word was unfamiliar, Seongha-ri nodded his head with his face blushing.
“Ah, yes. Did you say tutorial? It was over quickly.”
“It wouldn’t have been that difficult if it was my sister.”
As I continued talking, I noticed something strange. A sword sheath was hanging from Seongha-ri’s waist. Seongha-ri’s main weapon was a spear, no matter what anyone said. I’ve never seen her wield any other weapon.
“Sister. Her sword… ? Didn’t you choose the window?”
“Eugene, you use a knife. I was curious about how it would feel, so I tried it out. The spear is quite different, so it’s not easy to handle.”
Seongha-ri said with a smile. She, of course, didn’t believe it 100%. If she is Seongha-ri’s fighting sense, even if she is a sword, she will show considerable skill. Isn’t there a saying that she is a servant of the end of the world?
“What is your job?”
“I’m a samurai.”
“… Samurai? Aren’t you a prosecutor?”
“I don’t know because I didn’t decide. Who should I say? The notification window arbitrarily decided the job.”
“I’m just calling it AI. So, what about auxiliary jobs? You can choose a secondary job.”
“It’s a wizard.”
She opened her mouth at the unexpected word. Wizard. It was a word that did not suit Seongha-ri. Seongha-ri scratched her cheek in embarrassment at my reaction.
“Once upon a time, I wanted to become a spirit-loving wizard. She was trying to become an elementalist… The spirits might hate me here too, so I decided to be a wizard. Sota. You?”
She nodded as she had no intention of blaming her. I’m not in a position to tell others.
“My job is Elementalist, and my assistant job is Priest.”
“… Priest? Do you have a religion you believe in?!”
“No, not that. I just want to try it. Looking at it, it seemed that I could do what I wanted to do with the assistant job.”
Otherwise, she had no reason to give her a choice.
“Ugh. I see But do you know how to use magic?”
“I don’t know. Call it fireball.”
“Fireball!”
Seongha-ri shouted without hesitation. Nothing happened. Even in the embarrassing situation, Seong Hari remained calm. While she is ashamed to wear school uniforms, she doesn’t seem to be ashamed of anything like this either.
“Ugh. It doesn’t work. Are there any conditions… ? Eugene, you should try it too.”
“Heel!”
Also nothing happened.
It was a time when we were putting our heads together and experimenting with things. A stout man came up to us. A green name appeared above his head: “Combat Instructor Jun Harada.”
“The transfer students are making a fuss. I don’t care what to say. It’s much better than being depressed. You can tell by the name above my head. This is Jun Harada, a combat instructor. Let me tell you the rules Before that, how much do you know about Terra Simulator?”
“I know what virtual reality is. Can this really be made with only scientific technology?”
I asked him Jun Harada shook his head.
“It’s not just science and technology. Terra Simulator is made using all sorts of skills and abilities, such as magic, yin and yang, and psychic powers. Above all, Tenrai Nagisa-sama’s ability and super artificial intelligence play the most important role.”
“I think artificial intelligence alone is a great technology.”
“Artificial intelligence was provided by the association. They didn’t make it themselves, they said they got the core of artificial intelligence in a dungeon. We just applied the core of artificial intelligence to Terra Simulator.”
“But is this for educational purposes? This virtual reality is like….”
“Is it like a game? Intended sea. Considering the accessibility of the general public, I deliberately made it like a game.”
“Can the general public use Terra Simulator?”
“Of course it is possible. The government or association also has a purpose to commercialize Terra Simulator as a game. Is that all the question is? For technical questions, ask Kurosawa-sensei, not me.”
“What can we do?”
Seongha-ri asked him. If you leave it here without saying anything, it will only be troublesome.
“This world, Terra, was created for the education of your academy students. Social education is also included. Explore this world If you play like a game, your level will rise. The sum of your job level and auxiliary job level is your score. It’s going to be disadvantageous for you who are late transfer students, but… It can’t be helped. Take it. The time difference is 1 to 5. 1 second in reality is 5 seconds here. Still, time will be short, so work hard.”
“If you have a level, do you have a skill or something?”
He nods at my question.
“Of course there is. You’re all level 1 right now, so there’s no skill you can’t use. As you level up, you can naturally learn skills. Prior to that… See that big tombstone over there? You can change your secondary job there or learn basic skills.”
It felt like a real virtual reality game.
Seongha-ri just listened with an expression of not knowing what it was. Seong Ha-ri is an outsider to games. For her, her games are casual, like Tetris. RPG game? You won’t even know what the words mean.
‘When I said go-stop when I asked to play a game the other day….’
I had no interest in RPG games.
“By the way, take a good look at the Ilm above your head. Green names represent real people like you and me. Red is hostile. The white name is a neutral NPC.”
“Can you kill a neutral NPC and take what you have?”
“You think like a villain. You don’t get anything by killing neutral NPCs. Obtain it duly through quests. And if you do that, you will be penalized. If you accumulate penalty points, you will be disciplined by the academy, so be careful.”
“Thanks for the explanation.”
“When something urgent happens, shout ‘Academy, please help!’ If you shout once, the AI will help you, and if you shout three times in a row, you will be forcibly disconnected from Terra.”
“What if… What if I die here?”
“The level goes down. The level of each job and auxiliary job is 1. 2 total levels down. And the level, as I said, is your grades.”
“What level is the first in the academy?”
“It is 130.”
Harada Jun closed the connection after answering all the questions. He seemed to have little interest in virtual reality.
“Sota. Do you understand what he said?”
“Who is your sister?”
“… I don’t know what to say in the middle. Levels and quests….”
“Never mind that, just do what we have to do.”
I looked at the back of my hand. When she recalls the code the dean gave her, a diamond pattern appears on the back of her hand. One of the vertices of the rhombus glowed, and the pattern spun around. The pattern stops and points to either side.
Where we should go has been decided. At the end of this will be Susanoo’s Magatama.
“Before going, go to the tombstone the combat instructor said and learn basic skills.”
“Do you really need that?”
“He said he wanted to use magic. You can learn magic there.”
“Let’s hurry. You…. Sota.”
“You keep calling my name strangely.”
“I can’t help it because it doesn’t stick to my mouth.”
I walked in front of the tombstone. I was able to learn the basic skill of the Elementalist and the basic skill of the Priest.
「Spirit Enhancement
Level: 1
Increases the power of spirits by 1%.”
“Heel
Level: 1
Consumes mana to recover 10% of the target’s HP.”
I was able to learn the skill as expected.
Seong Ha-ri also learned basic skills.
「Focus of the sword
Level: 1
Attack power increases by 5% when using a sword.”
“Light
Level: 1
It consumes mana to generate light.”
“Light! Sota! Look at this!”
Seongha-ri spread her palms and used light magic. When the sphere of light appeared, she loved it, laughing like a child.
“Mom can drop her thunderbolts too. But does she like it?”
“Even if you drop her thunderbolt, you can’t make a sphere of light like this.”
We moved as the rhombus indicated.
Square came out. People in school uniforms like Seong Ha-ri and I walked around the square. Above their heads were written their names in green letters.
‘You are laughing and talking. When I was in the classroom, it was so quiet and desolate…. It’s completely different.’
A group of people approach us. Three men. It was a group of two women. I checked their clothes. He was wearing a school uniform, but the equipment he was wearing was slightly different.
‘The one wearing the robe is a wizard… The guy wearing greaves over his school uniform is a prosecutor…. The woman is wearing a bow and gloves.’
Their occupations could be inferred from the equipment they wore.
“Transfer students.”
The tallest man opened his mouth. His chin was pointed, his eyes were narrow, and his lips were thin. He has a sharp impression like a dagger. The name above his head is Keiichi Kikugawa.
“We have no intention of laughinghahawith you guys. It’s a competition. We’ve already teamed up, and we can’t afford to accept you guys. So do the other guys.”
“Ah. Is that so?”
“You guys take care of yourself. If you interfere with us, I will kill you.”
They glared fiercely at Seongha-ri and me, then turned and disappeared.
“Looks like we’re not welcome.”
Seongha-ri smiled bitterly.
“Because there seems to be quite a bit of competition here. I can’t help it. If you think a little differently, it’s rather good. We have other things to do.”
Following the direction indicated by the diamond, we came out of the city and faced the monster.
It was a goblin.
“I’ll take care of it.”
Sung Hari moved lightly. However, the movement was not light at all. The moment I heard the sound of the air ripping, the goblin’s head was cut and it was falling to the ground.
‘Tera’s level does not affect her body.’
According to what Jun Harada told me earlier, the ability of the body is the same as in reality. The same goes for leveling up, he says. Terra’s body will become stronger if you continue to train your body in reality.
Conversely, if the physical body in reality is stronger than the standard, Terra’s body will also be stronger than the standard.
‘I don’t think it will take long to find Susanoo’s Magatama.’
