When Gilbert opened his eyes in the world of Tactical Combat and accepted that what he was experiencing was not a dream but reality, the first thing he did was check the presence of the game system.

The game system had many functions that helped gamers play the game smoothly, and it was believed that if they could actually use them, it would be easier to protect their lives in the bloody world of tactical combat.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the game system existed, but after checking the familiar message window that the conditions had not been met, he eagerly waited for Demeia Academy’s entrance mock competition. From what he remembers, the system was unlocked before the tutorial chapter, the entrance mock battle.

As expected, a game system was created at the start of the entrance mock battle and began receiving system assistance, but there was not enough time to check accurate information about it. In the game, enough time was given to learn the system, but now it was reality, not a game.

There was no mercy in waiting, and all my attention was focused on leading the fast-paced admissions mock battle to the best possible outcome.

The result was the system message that filled Gilbert’s eyes right now.

[You have successfully completed the tutorial entrance mock battle.]

[Rewards will be strengthened by achieving an overwhelming evaluation in the admissions mock battle.]

[By being the first to support the commander in the entrance mock battle, you receive additional points for increasing special abilities.]

[You achieved the achievement earlier than anyone else and faster than anyone else.]

[Skills are created by satisfying special conditions in special situations.]

Gilbert, who started to feel excited like a child about to receive a birthday present, stayed in the dormitory as soon as the entrance mock competition award ceremony was over, saying thank you to the team members who participated in the entrance mock competition for their hard work.

He opened the notification window with anticipation.

Type: Main

Clear condition: Participate in Demeia Academy’s entrance mock competition.

Compensation: Differential payment based on admission mock evaluation

– Entrance mock competition award badge provided

– Commander’s award badge provided

– By volunteering as a commander, your special ability authority and leadership increase by 10 (+5).

Failure Penalty: None.

Status: Clear

*Additional badges will be awarded for achieving overwhelming evaluations in the entrance mock competition.

*By assisting the commander first in the entrance mock battle, your special ability increases by an additional +5.

Gilbert checked the mission window and clenched his fists. I wondered how I got the commander’s award badge with a ruined reputation, and it seemed like I got it through enhanced tutorial rewards.

Although the award badge was a special item that only applied to the Academy, it was a great help when working at the Academy. It was difficult to get that much, and getting two right after completing the entrance mock battle was difficult even in the game.

The first condition was to achieve S rank in the entrance mock battle evaluation, and after that, there was about a 20% chance of obtaining the commander’s award badge, so Gilbert, who was unlucky, started off by getting the commander’s badge. wrote it down

Now that it has become a reality, it appears that the random probability has not been applied, but rather an additional payment based on evaluation.

Gilbert felt like screaming when he saw that his special ability authority and leadership, which he received as additional points by participating as a commander in the entrance mock battle, had increased by a total of 10. Unlike general abilities, special abilities were not something that could be obtained additionally by doing any repetitive actions.

When you first start the game, it is a randomly determined ability level that increases only when achievements or certain conditions are met as the game progresses. Originally, it had to be raised if you took the commander route because it affected the number of units you could have and the morale boost.

It was said that it would increase those precious abilities by 10, so it was more important to Gilbert that his special abilities increased by 10 than receiving the commander’s award badge.

Satisfied with the tutorial reward, he nodded and opened the status window with a prayerful heart. I memorized the main character’s initial abilities, except for authority and leadership, which are randomly determined, but I was worried because I had never seen Gilbert’s abilities before.

ability

[Force]: [70]

[Body]: [90]

[Control]: [100]

[horsepower]: [30]

[Authority]: [40](+10)

[Command]: [50](+10)

Tactical Combat was not a game where you develop your character by increasing experience points like an MMORPG. Rather, it belonged to a type of game in which growth occurred when the gamer himself adapted to the game and his own skills increased. It is safe to say that the absolutely important levels in MMORPGs are simply used as elements for unlocking the system or for customizing the aircraft, and there are no areas that can improve abilities.

In that sense, the ability values displayed in the status window served as an indicator of the character’s performance, and were a system in which the character’s grade was divided through numerical values.

Gilbert couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw the status window he opened for the first time. The reason was that his current abilities were very different from what he had imagined.

Gilbert’s status window boasted such spectacular abilities that it was no exaggeration to say that he was a character who had already been trained. It was expected that his physical abilities would be excellent since the concept itself was Geumtaeyang. I was just over 20 years old, so I thought I was in my early to mid 80s with room for growth, but I never imagined that I would be in my 90s, which is almost complete.

Considering Gilbert’s past actions, I tried not to dwell on his manipulative ability even if he crawled on the floor, but as his physical ability was quantified to reflect Gilbert’s body, I wonder if the manipulating ability reflected the rotten water level rather than Gilbert’s, theoretically reaching the end of 100. It was pointing to numbers. I didn’t know that maybe it was influenced by his characteristic skills.

His strength was comparable to the average of an Imperial Knight, but I couldn’t help but think that it was absurd to think that he was a cadet who had just entered the academy. It seemed like it was because it was an ability that interacted with the body.

Looking at Gilbert’s past actions, it was easy to understand the magical power of crawling at the lowest level. I thought that a person who had only trained, let alone trained, could barely maneuver a giant god soldier even though his magic power was high. Maybe it was because I had a natural talent, but I was satisfied because I was 30 years old.

In particular, his authority and leadership abilities were enough to make me feel full just by looking at him. The two special abilities were highly volatile compared to other abilities that were already set and difficult to raise, and even if you raised them to high values, they were one of the abilities that was highly likely to decline if you repeated wrong decisions and actions.

In that sense, the entrance mock battle, which is character creation where the minimum number is set, was important, and fortunately, he was able to stably reach the number he had in mind. When I thought about the unexpected addition of 10, I couldn’t help but laugh.

First of all, I am satisfied.

I closed the status window, feeling like I had received reliable insurance. The main character was implemented to a level where few things exceed 40 except for the control ability.

Even though the game did not focus on character development, the initial stage was based on an academy-oriented story, so the intention was to incorporate a training system to develop the character you want.

He rubbed his hands together before the last remaining skill window. Because it was the first skill I acquired after coming here, I was a little excited to see what would come out.

1. Stereoscopic maneuver (+)

Although the performance was shabby compared to the second half, the fact that skills were developed from the beginning was encouraging. He couldn’t help but raise his hands up at the fact that he had gained three-dimensional mobility. He pressed the plus button to view the detailed description to check if the skill he knew was correct.

Grade: Unique (Lv.1)

Description: You can move without being affected by terrain.

effect:

– Restrictions on movement due to terrain are reduced.

– Spatial perception ability is greatly improved, and movements that seem to deviate from the laws of physics are highly compensated.

– This is a skill that is always applied, and the effect can be activated directly once per hour.

– When a direct effect is activated, a mandatory skill is activated with minimum conditions.

belonging:

– Back tumbling

As expected, the three-dimensional maneuver was exactly as described as a skill he was familiar with. It was one of the essential skills in operating a giant god soldier and was able to directly affect its movement.

In particular, the three-dimensional maneuver had excellent versatility, and since it was a skill that applied not only to operating the giant soldier, but also to the rider himself, it was one of the skills that must be acquired in order to progress the game smoothly.

Of course, Gilbert was confident that he could handle most operations without any problems even without the three-dimensional mobility skill, but considering the effectiveness of the direct effect, it was a skill he was definitely trying to acquire. With that intention, I showed off back tumbling without difficulty in the entrance mock battle, and it seemed like I was able to achieve it easily thanks to the tutorial reward reinforcement effect.

After checking all of the skill windows, he breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that he had perfectly accomplished his first goal at Demeia Academy. My reputation was worse than I thought, but I tried not to be conscious of it because I didn’t think my reputation as an asshole would go away with just this one thing.

In any case, there were plenty of opportunities to be active as the main story progressed, so it was right to focus on character growth with the significance of the character creation being completed well. Now that we had made the first step, we needed to push forward according to the plan we had prepared in advance.

Gilbert opened the door to the dormitory, carrying the outer cadet uniform he had put away and the training uniform he had been issued. Just because we got good results, we shouldn’t let down our guard. The difficulty of Tactical Combat was something that was already shocking, and now it has become a reality.

That is why there is only one place he must head. It was a training room.
