episode_0101

After somehow finishing the Brynhild Gun, Gilbert felt the need to check his condition before entering the main scenario.

Because I had postponed checking the rewards and abilities I received from completely clearing the invasion scenario of Sigurd’s tribe, I had not yet been able to objectively see my growth.

In terms of experience, a dramatic improvement was achieved, but for Gilbert, who was assisted by the game system, numerical confirmation was needed.

No matter how much system assistance you have, you won’t be able to grow your character like in a game in real life, but there are great guides like the status window and skill window, and it would be foolish not to use them.

Gilbert first opened the status window and checked the growth rate.

Name: Gilbert Lionheart

Gender: Male (20)

Title: Hero of the Academy (+)

level 5 knight

One who sings sagas (+)

Fame: 20K

Possession: Award badge (2)+

level 5 knight

ability

[Force]: [85]

[Body]: [93]

[Control]: [100]

[horsepower]: [50]

[Authority]: [60](+20)

[Command]: [70](+30)

After looking at it for a long time, the abilities were more impressive than I had expected.

Perhaps due to the steep increase in the achievement of the Winter Sword, his strength increased by 5 compared to before, and his magical power increased by a whopping 20, perhaps thanks to constant training.

There was no change in his control ability because it was originally at the theoretical limit of 100, but what surprised him the most was that his physical ability, which he thought would not increase any further, increased by a whopping 3 and reached a whopping 93.

Physical abilities exceeding 90 were so rare that even if you combined all of the named characters in Tactical Combat, you could count them on one finger.

As far as he remembers, among the people currently at Demeia Academy, the only characters whose physical abilities exceeded 90 were Academy Director Lucas, Sword Saint Brianna, and Brynhild, who inherited Sigurd’s blood.

Even Seraphina, who was currently difficult to deal with, did not exceed 90 in terms of physical ability, so it was no exaggeration to say that Gilbert’s physical ability of 93 literally exceeded the realm of superhumans.

As Gilbert closed the status window, he thought for a moment about why his physical abilities increased. Many hypotheses passed through my mind, but there was one that made the most sense.

He opened the skill window with some confidence.

1. Stereoscopic maneuver (+)

2. Baeksu (+)

3. Winter Sword (+)

5. Breaking through the limit (+)

6. Breaking through the limit (+)

It was a simple skill window, but Gilbert’s thoughts as he checked the list were exactly the opposite.

It was a list of skills that enriched my heart just by looking at it.

He looked at the skill list for a moment, then opened the details of the unemployed skill he had acquired this time.

Grade: Legendary (growth type)

Description: The lion’s heart builds a strong body, and the dragon’s magic builds a strong mind. This is the king of all beasts according to tradition. There is no shortage of information to mark the beginning of unemployment.

effect:

– The durability of the body is greatly increased.

– The body’s endurance increases significantly.

– Mana recovery speed is greatly increased.

– The mana in the body is extremely compressed and the magic core blooms.

– Instantaneous horsepower output increases significantly.

– Super regenerative ability blooms.

– This is a growth skill.

Baeksu, a skill created by fusing Lionheart and Nemea skills, was a skill that could be obtained when Lionheart’s hidden ability was unlocked.

In order to unlock Lion Heart, several conditions were required: you must acquire the Nemea skill, and it was a hidden skill that could be obtained when you entered the hidden route, The Saga Singer, and used Limit Break.

Since the fusion could only be completed successfully when the Lionheart level and Nemea skill had been raised to a certain level, it was one of the skills that even the old people rarely obtained under the excuse of being inconvenient.

However, the difficulty of learning was always proportional to performance.

As much as it was difficult to obtain the skill Unemployed, its performance alone was superior to any other skill.

Since the basic level was legendary and it was a growth skill, if you reached the skill level of unemployed, you could acquire mythical skills, which do not exist in Tactical Combat.

Of course, it was not possible to increase proficiency through general methods. It was absolutely impossible to grow without accumulating the power of the Sagas by mixing and fusing them.

In the end, since myths are created by accumulating legends, they were designed so that proficiency could never be increased through general methods.

Therefore, it may be difficult to build up Saga’s power right now, but since you have already completed the Saga Singer achievement, it is not impossible to build up Saga’s power whenever the opportunity arises.

Moreover, even though he had not yet acquired any proficiency, he was at legendary level. It goes without saying that its effectiveness has increased significantly since it was divided into Lionheart and Nemea.

However, what Gilbert noticed was the new effect, the flowering of the magic core and the flowering of super regenerative ability.

It was very encouraging to learn that I was able to obtain a super regenerative ability that could even recover the permanent ability loss caused by using the magic core generated when mana deep attack was mastered beyond a certain level and the use of limit breakthrough.

In particular, super regeneration was the most efficient and useful skill in this non-game environment.

Even if you were severely injured, if you were still alive, you could somehow recover your body, so it was no different from carrying around an extra life.

Gilbert, who achieved more results than he could have imagined, confirmed that the limit breakthrough was the same as what he knew and turned off the skill window.

Being full even without eating something is probably referring to this situation.

After confirming satisfactory growth, he lay down on the bed and smiled, then suddenly opened the scenario window.

I could see that the main and sub-scenarios that had already been cleared were grayed out.

However, there was only one sub-scenario that was not colored gray.

Seeker of the sword…

This sub-scenario, which he was forced to accept after visiting Brianna and Gwendolyn’s blacksmith shop, was a scenario that even Gilbert, who had achieved all the achievements in Tactical Combat, had seen for the first time.

Among the achievements was the achievement of clearing all main and sub-scenarios, so it made no sense that there was a hidden achievement that he did not know about.

Of course, it’s not that I’m complacent about this world being a game, but since the big picture was following the flow of Tactical Combat, I had doubts.

Is this a singularity that arose because the game became reality?

If you think about it, the fact that Brianna, who was certain to die, was alive was already a singularity.

This is also proof that this is not a game where the ending can never be changed due to the script being embedded.

If you think about it rationally, it was clear that this sword seeker sub-scenario was related to Brianna.

From the beginning, the sword seeker scenario seemed to be related to Brianna.

She is the sword saint of the empire in name and reality.

And it wasn’t that there were no clues to clearing Seeker of the Sword.

Since the Heir to the Military Art of the Four Worlds event will be held along with the exchange meeting, it is safe to assume that the Seeker of the Sword will also be held there.

Although it was just Gilbert’s guess, the seeker of the sword might be determined by the level of achievement of the Winter Sword when clearing the Four Worlds’ Military Art Successor.

Now that you think about it, what is the accomplishment of the Winter Sword?

Although Four Seasons’ Military Skills were treated as skills and registered, they were different from other skills that displayed different grades.

Even though this vicious game claimed to be a mecha game, it was strangely stubborn in the Four Seasons of Weaponry, allowing players to be ranked based on their level of skill.

Simply repeating it did not increase the amount of herbivore that could be used.

It was possible to move on to the next level, although it had to be accompanied by mastery of the swordsmanship itself and a deep understanding of the winter sword.

When the Four Seasons’ Weapon Skills were first discovered, there was a lot of dissatisfaction from users asking why there were all these skills.

In modern society, weaponry has long been relegated to a sport or hobby.

Meanwhile, how many people would learn each and every skill in the game in order to use them?

Of course, because there are so many people in the world, such crazy people do exist from time to time.

And Gilbert was also one of those crazy people.

The maniacal obsession with breaking all achievements produced results beyond imagination.

The result was the Gilbert he is today.

***

During Demeia Academy’s break, Ian had a very busy schedule.

This was because during the attack on the Academy, he had to travel diligently throughout the empire under the guidance of an artificial spirit that he had acquired by chance or, as he said, by inevitable fate.

I didn’t have time to relax, but thanks to that, I was able to grow by leaps and bounds.

With this, it’s not difficult to beat him…!

Ian clenched his fists.

Pure magic filled my body, and the overflowing vitality was difficult to control.

If Gilbert were in front of me during the competition, I felt like I could take him down before he even took a breath.

No, it wasn’t an assumption.

He had clearly become stronger than Gilbert.

Of course, not all of this schedule was good. While he was growing, Gilbert again made his name known throughout the empire.

According to the rumor, you made peace with Sigurd’s family?

If it had been me, I would have swept them all away and conquered them, but it was too easy.

It seemed inevitable that the protagonist would be fundamentally different from himself.

Otherwise, I didn’t know that it was a sign that it was now his turn to go out into the world.

There are rumors going around that an exchange event is about to begin, so that stage will be the moment when the true protagonist appears in the world.

Ian grinned and called his soulmate.

“Pressia. This is our chance.”

[You mean it’s our turn to step forward? don’t worry. As long as I’m here, you don’t have to worry about Ian.]

He smiled brightly again as he looked at the buzzing artificial spirit Precia.
