episode_0189

The intense grappling with the second round has ended.

I was in a really difficult situation.

My whole body still feels numb. Cuts, stabs, beatings, bursts, tears… it was a difficult time.

Especially in the middle, it became even more difficult because all of the strength was used up and the power went out.

As the power of space was extinguished, it was difficult to take out weapons from subspace, and the use of manpower and repulsive force was also blocked.

Also, because I couldn’t seal the inventory for the second time, they pulled out fifty different weapons and trampled me the second time.

I also carried quite a lot of weapons, but in the second round, all kinds of strange things popped out in my inventory.

Holding curved swords of different lengths in both hands, they played with and cut the streets, and also beat them frantically in all directions with something similar to a stick.

In addition, there are also swords… karambits, plain swords, long spears with numerous blades like tree branches, maces…

While training with my teacher, I also used many weapons, but the number of weapons handled in the second session was truly on a whole new level.

Even if you rob a huge blacksmith shop or weapons museum, the number will be smaller than that.

After that, observation was turned off and information collection was limited.

From then on, it was much more difficult to respond to the movements of the second round.

I responded with echolocation, which I had consistently practiced in preparation for such situations.

Although it was not better than observation, it was able to move enough to enable combat.

Of course, it was worse than observation, so it ended up being a mess.

[Please pat me more…]

In other words, I was mentally exhausted.

That’s why I wanted mental happiness. It boiled down to that simple logic, and I was making a lot of noise towards my teacher in real time.

“Truly… there’s not a single day that goes by.”

[Ehehe…]

“This is not a compliment…”

Master muttered in bewilderment.

It was an unfair statement.

It’s not like I’m intentionally causing accidents, but everyone around me is just being mean to me.

I shook my head with such resentment. The soft texture continued to rub.

Thanks to Master’s pounding heartbeat, the tight tension gradually eased.

After struggling, he calmed down and fell limp.

“Hmm…”

Master let out a bitter smile, but said there was nothing he could do. stroked my head

[great…]

With a bright smile on his face, he clung to his teacher even more desperately.

Before I knew it, I had entered Master’s home and were lying on the bed next to each other and resting.

I was out of my mind when I just came out of the Tower of Growth, but I could vaguely hear the conversation going on.

From what I heard, today is the 4th day of entering the tower. Everyone was embarrassed that I showed up a day early.

In the meantime, Master was concerned that my condition was not very good, so he left midway and brought me back to his home.

As soon as I got out of the tower, I wanted to go see Seoyul… but my condition was like this.

I just wanted to show Seoyul that he was a trustworthy protector in his own way.

…I also had the feeling that it was too late.

I’ve already shown Seoyul a lot of miserable sides.

Even though it was protected like this, there were concerns that its status might have been thrown into the gutter.

Of course, the kind Seoyul still follows what I say, but…

…Anyway, that’s how it happened, and now I’m recovering my mental strength by lying on the bed next to my teacher.

– I will look after Hayul, so you stay.

– yes? Why me? Me too…

– You are in charge of the spring preparation class, right? There are a lot of cadets who haven’t showed up yet, so what if the professor in charge drops out?

– …Why do you only come up with a correct opinion at moments like these…

The teacher is in charge of special admission students. The reason I was with the first-year professor was because I was a first-year student.

In other words, when I left the tower, Master had no reason to remain there.

On the other hand, Professor Liana is definitely the professor in charge of the spring preparation class. I couldn’t abandon the remaining cadets of the spring class just because I came out.

Because of this, Professor Liana remained in her seat with an uneasy look on her face.

‘Did I have an emergency escape…?’

The tower of growth has basic safety measures in place.

A representative example is the function that spits out a cadet who enters if it feels dangerous.

Also, considering the mental health of the cadets, the pain is very minimal…

‘Fuck this. I didn’t do that.’

I crumpled my face as a sudden thought occurred to me.

I still vividly remember the embarrassment I felt when my head was first cut.

Why is episode 2 there? Why are the characters in the game alive? Oh, my throat was cut. But why does it hurt? It fucking hurts…

At the time, the situation was so urgent that I ignored it, but now that I think about it calmly, I realized it was ridiculous.

‘I have to ask.’

If the president is absent, he will go to the vice president below him and ask him what he is doing.

Above all, what is that?

2nd round.

The nickname I came up with is Tugui.

The representative title of the system is the grandiose modifier ‘Asura of struggle’.

It was definitely the second time he fought me. There is no room for denial.

The artifacts worn, the skills used, and most of all, the expansion ability of the second round, Surado, and the one-sided meat ratio are linked…

All factors point to a second round.

‘What the hell?’

It wasn’t even like I was encountering a character in the game, the character I had created and dealt with was cutting me up right in front of my eyes.

It was confusing.

A water fight that overwhelms even me, who possesses body movements, weapon skills, combat skills, and the power of observation that can easily be called art.

Proficiency in handling the difference in physical ability between the appearance and release of a rigid body and the mismatch between instantaneous acceleration and deceleration.

Various uses of strength that do not end with just covering the body and armament.

It was not simply inputted technology, but an experience that was difficult to fathom.

It was difficult to imagine this as a character I had just set up and enjoyed.

More than anything…

– Sorry for bothering you, thank you for your hard work.

Just before leaving the tower… While I was lying there, unable to fight, a voice stuck in my ear.

It was an eerie voice, as if metal were scraping against each other… but the voice was vivid, full of complex emotions.

‘…….’

My head hurt. A headache was pounding through my skull.

“What else are you so displeased with that you’re crumpling your face?”

As I was frowning like that, Master’s finger gently pressed my forehead.

“Your pretty face will be ruined. Don’t walk around frowning.”

[Ehh…]

[It’s cool]

[Pleasure]

[massage]

My eyebrows naturally spread. Master smiled and massaged my face here and there to relax my muscles.

As I wriggled in the coolness, the necklace clicked and made a dull sound.

‘The sound has changed somehow… That’s it. Because the function is normal.’

I felt something strange about that sound, but I buried it for a while along with my worries about the second time.

[I tried hard]

[Compensation required]

[Hence the request for stroking]

“…You can pet it as much as you want without having to give a reason. Rather, I want to hear how my student suffered. Can you tell me?”

A little time passes.

Master asked me in a kind voice whether he thought my condition had improved considerably.

‘…What happened at the tower…’

I was lost in thought for a moment.

Naturally, I couldn’t explain it.

That’s because I don’t know anything about this phenomenon… I don’t know anything at all.

No, if you think about it, it might just be an excuse.

In reality, I was just afraid that if I recklessly told various stories, I might be hated.

‘Uhm…’

I took a quick look at the condition.

My mental strength has also recovered considerably. Originally, I would have been blind for a few days, but perhaps due to the influence of the Tower of Growth, I was now able to observe.

[I’ll show you in person]

After much thought, I decided to show you the results of this entry.

* * *

Atra looked at Lee Ha-yul standing across from him with complicated eyes.

‘I’ll show you in person… What did you get?’

When I cautiously asked whether he might vomit blood and collapse, he suddenly said he would show me in person and asked me to go to the training ground.

Of course, I stopped him at first. Is there any way that a child who was swaying around and unable to control himself just a little while ago would be happy to have a sparring match?

However, Lee Ha-yul’s sincere persuasion… He said that it was okay now, so he had no choice but to arrive at the training hall.

In fact, the body was in good condition, let alone injured, and the mind… did it recover in a short period of time? If it were normal, I would have been held and whined all day.

Recovery may have been accelerated thanks to the mental growth tower.

Atra felt a sense of relief and a strange sense of regret at that…

[Then let’s begin]

“Okay.”

Soon Lee Ha-yul sent a signal.

‘Whatever it is, I’ll have to check.’

Atra threw away distracting thoughts and sharpened his mind.

I didn’t take it lightly.

I knew very well the skills of Lee Ha-yul, who has shown improvement in his skills at every moment that cannot even be called a rapid growth.

At this point, Lee Ha-yul can overwhelm even high-level heroes.

This is true even if you only use simple rigid bodies and the operation of strong machines.

From magic and elemental magic to imitation of absurd unique abilities… Lee Ha-yul’s abilities are endless.

In the first place, Lee Ha-yul was a hero who subdued the two-headed poisonous dragon, which was downgraded to about 4th rank.

4th level.

Even in level 2 dungeons, this is a level measured only for alpha individuals.

You need to be a top-tier hero to be able to easily subjugate a hero alone, and even he may lose his life due to various variables.

Although there are many circumstances in which the two-headed poisonous dragon was downgraded… the 4th level… even he is the child who ended the two-headed poisonous dragon, which was originally the 3rd level.

Of course, for now, it’s just light sparring. It is difficult to actively mobilize diverse numbers.

With that in mind, Atra took a stance.

– Tak

My wrist was grabbed by Lee Ha-yul, who appeared like a ghost.

‘……!?’

Atra’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Lee Ha-yul’s new form became blurred as if enveloped in fog, and suddenly appeared next to Atra.

responded.

I reflexively bit down on my body and stretched out my hand with all my strength. The rigid body that appeared without conscious awareness lightly activated the body.

The outstretched hand was held helplessly.

There was a rush of hand gestures that hid their shapes as if they were enveloped in thick dark clouds.

widely! A hand came out like lightning from the dark clouds and grabbed Atra’s wrist.

‘This…!?’

An extraordinary movement that lightly ignores the laws of physics.

A movement that conveys a clear image just by observing the movement.

‘Expansion ability…!’

Ability to expand technology field.

It’s not just that he can use it half-heartedly, but he handles it very skillfully. It’s only a moment, but the skill is enough to deceive even Atra’s senses.

The true value of a technology field comes from its ability to expand.

Especially in PvP, the ability to expand the technology category is extremely annoying.

Art also demonstrated its unique capabilities in the technology field. It also has quite a bit of expansion capacity.

‘It’s late-‘

But it’s too late to write now. There was also hesitation. It is an expansion capability that has not been coordinated in advance. I wasn’t sure about Son Daejung.

During that hesitation, my body rotated. My vision changed drastically.

bang! The next moment, I could see the sky being consumed by the sunset through the outer part of my vision.

“……”

The dust that rose briefly settled down.

Accelerated thinking gradually returned to normal cognitive speed. It seems like I was shocked and distressed for a really long time, but it was only a moment.

[How about this?]

A clicking sound rang out.

Atra pursed her lips absentmindedly.

Not on the outside of the field of vision, but on the inside… Lee Ha-yul’s face was seen filling Atra’s field of vision.

Lee Ha-yul suddenly throws Atra on the floor and climbs on top of her.

There was a proud smile on the corner of his mouth, and his cheeks were flushed with accomplishment.

Even the blunt voice of the necklace seemed to ooze pride.

It didn’t hurt. Atra’s body was too strong to be shocked to this degree.

“…Uh, uhh…”

But my mind hurt. To be exact, it was extremely confusing… and shocking.

‘Just… no, now.’

I started sparring with my student, caught my guard down, and was thrown to the floor.

That was it.

[You’ve grown a lot, right?]

“…Uh, uh…?”

The voice of the necklace rang in Atra’s ears.

For a moment, my lost consciousness came back to me.

Atra blinked, then suddenly looked at her condition.

Both hands were grabbed by the wrists and lifted above the head and tied, and Lee Ha-yul, who was on top of the boat, was crushing Atra.

[how is it!]

[Even if you let your guard down, I won!]

Lee Ha-yul smiled brightly. Afterwards, my body slightly swayed back and forth as if I could not control my sense of accomplishment.

“Hi…!”

Atra suddenly felt the feeling of her chest being rubbed, causing her body to shake violently.

In order to tie his hands, Lee Ha-yul sits quite high up. As it turned out, Lee Ha-yul’s pubic bone was pressing against a difficult spot.

It was an extremely embarrassing attitude in many ways.

A strange sound came out of my mouth at the strange feeling I had never experienced before.

At Sora, who couldn’t believe he had made it himself, Atra opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth…

– Ugh…

Couldn’t stop it. Atra’s hands were still bound by Lee Ha-yul.

“Uh, uhh… No, uh, wait…”

Atra’s face was a vivid red even in the setting sun.

Her pupils trembled as if there was an earthquake.
