Somewhere on an island.
Among the thick bushes, a place with deep shadows from beautiful trees.
“Haa, haa, haa….”
“Is it okay here? It will be fine. Haha.”
Men and women dressed in various outfits gathered in the shade, breathing heavily.
“What’s chasing you is…”
“It’s okay. We all worked together to throw it into the river.”
“If you swim….”
“Running away again. Let’s take a breather, even just for a moment. It’s a cybernetic world, but everyone is tired.”
The attire of each member of the group was different, but they had one thing in common.
The uniform was cut by something sharp, as if it had been attacked by a wild animal.
“Ugh, no matter how much you want to survive, what kind of S-class monster-type demon are you deploying?…”
The monster that attacked the party was a kind of ‘NPC’.
As Professor Cheongryong announced to everyone when he fell, the primary task is ‘survival’.
You can use special ability cards, and it’s not difficult to survive for several hours in the cyber world until the end of the lecture, so why was surviving the first lecture a task?
“There isn’t just one. A-level villains are also on this island right now. I saw it before I met you guys. I met [Jeoksandang].”
“What? That guy from North Korea… Oh my. There’s that villain too?”
“Are you really that person? In real life, weren’t you in prison?”
“I don’t know. They may have sent subversive communist villains to this island for practical training, asking them to help with education at this academy through a judicial deal.”
Perhaps because it was a group of talented people, there were all kinds of speculations about the progress of the tutorial.
“Anyway, this island is dangerous.”
One of the freshmen in the Blue Dragon class, Carlos from Germany, pointed to the sky so that the gathered classmates could see.
“Look at that.”
Weeeeing.
A huge shadow passes over the bushes.
“Scarab beetle…?”
A red insect that takes out its wings from its shell and flies as if looking for something.
It was too big to be called a rhinoceros beetle.
“They say they create something called a ‘monster’ in the cybernetic world. Is that really that…!”
“For some reason, last year they held a monster contest or something…! Ugh, I wasn’t participating…!”
“Did you participate in that?”
“I also won the prize money! I didn’t know that it would become a monster that would appear on this island and try to kill me!”
There is a monster on the island.
There are devils, villains, and monsters that do not exist in reality but can be realized in the cyber world.
“Guys, don’t worry though. I know a little about goblins, right?”
“What?”
“There is definitely a time limit for this.”
As Carlos spoke meaningfully, everyone pricked up their ears.
“Goblin, what do you mean?”
“Are you saying that the president is directly involved in this test?”
“Maybe. Unless a goblin is directly watching, how would such a large-scale test be possible even in a warlike world?”
“Umm….”
“The goblin will definitely be watching this situation. So that no one gets hurt or so-called ‘frazzled’ in the cybernetic world.”
“Well, over there…”
One of the group.
“What is a brain worm…?”
A young woman with light purple hair cautiously raised her hand.
The men, including Carlos, swallowed for a moment at the uniform that resembled a nurse’s uniform, and the other female classmates looked at them with disapproval.
“Don’t you know the brain stem? As a freshman at the academy?”
“That’s a word that doesn’t exist in the Korean dictionary…”
“You might not know it because it’s like slang.”
Carlos, who brought up the words himself, nodded with an expression that he understood everything.
“Ugh, baby buffalo.”
“Hey, why is it called a water buffalo all of a sudden…?”
“Keuhum. Stop saying things like that. In one word, the term ‘noejeol’ mentioned here means ‘to throw it away.’ Um, what is your name?”
“Ah, I am….”
A woman in a nurse-like uniform corrected her posture and smiled broadly.
“It’s called Pliche. I’m from Bavaria, Germany.”
“Yeah, really? Well, I’ll talk about the corpus callosum separately later, so for now-”
The moment Carlos tried to say something.
“Hey, over there!!”
A man pointed to the sky.
Kiaaa!!
“Hee, hee hee…?!”
“Ah, devil!!”
“Wait a minute…! Is that really a [Red Giant]…?!”
The red giant with its head stuck between the tree branches opened its mouth wide and came down.
” too, run away!!”
“That’s S-class! You have to bounce at all costs!”
“Now, wait a minute!!”
In an instant, the group began to run away, confused.
“If you go there-”
“Let go of this!”
Plice extended his hand forward, but Carlos swung his arm backwards and pushed Plice’s hand away.
“It’s a cybernetic world anyway, so if you’re going to die, you’re on your ownㅡ”
Quack!
Something red fell from the sky.
Carlos was instantly scattered into 0s and 1s, and Plice was mesmerized by the red traces of data bouncing in front of him.
“Ah, ah….”
Her legs became weak, and she sat down.
No matter how much it is called a war-torn world, people are crushed before their eyes.
“What kind of first river is this…”
And she was completely entranced by the detailed appearance, power, and overwhelming strength of the S-class demon.
“This is….”
A red pillar slowly rising into the sky again.
The reason she realized it was a ‘fist’ was because she was able to watch it from afar.
“Huh?”
“It’s dangerous!”
Someone is holding on to their body and running.
Just as a goblin once held Baek Seol-hee, she is running through the forest, holding her like a princess.
“Um, hey, are you…?!”
“Do Ji-wan!”
Do Ji-wan, running desperately, tried his best to escape from the giant without even looking back.
Is it thanks to that?
Or is it because they found more delicious food?
Coo coo coo coo.
The S-class demon NPC, the red giant, began to move to another place.
* * *
After a while.
“Ha, ha, ha. Are you okay?”
“Ah, yes….”
“Excuse me.”
Do Ji-wan, who had run away into the cave, slowly lowered Plice and sat him down comfortably on a rock that was a good place to sit.
“You didn’t trick me, did you?”
“Ah. No. Thank you for saving me.”
Plice placed his hand on his chest and lowered his head.
“Ah.”
As she ran, her clothes became disheveled and the front part of her nurse uniform shirt was exposed, and Plice quickly raised her head.
“…I’m glad you’re okay.”
Do Ji-wan turned his head away from himself and was looking outside the cave.
Are you pretending not to have seen the report?
Or was he already looking outside in a state of alert?
I don’t know the details, but at least Plice didn’t dislike this motive of throwing himself against the red giant to save himself, even if he was in a cybernetic world.
At least she didn’t look at her with lustful eyes like other men did, especially Carlos.
“That…Do Ji-wan. Do you have any guesses about this test?”
“Yes?”
“Well, I wonder how long we will have to stay like this.”
“Um.”
Do Ji-wan tapped his Taegeuk watch and immediately stood with his back against the opposite wall, far away from Plice.
“Escape is possible.”
“Really?”
“Yes. You can escape by logging out of the global brain world. As soon as you try it….”
“Ah.”
Plice cried at the hologram screen that appeared in front of him.
“Eliminated….”
“I don’t know what it is, but if I’m going to be eliminated, I don’t want to be stuck with the ticket from the first day. Whatever the result.”
“…….”
Plice clicked ‘No’ when asked ‘Do you want to log out?’
“Then how to escape from here…”
“There will be a time limit.”
“Where did you see it?”
“Timetable.”
“Yes?”
“I understand that the Cheongryong class lecture today runs until 5pm. And the president of this academy, the goblin, hates ‘Yonkang’ very much.”
“What is that…ah!”
A timetable flashed through Plice’s mind.
“This test ends when the designated lecture time ends!”
“Yes.”
“Then at least the next few hours, including the time we arrived…up to three hours?”
“Probably two hours. If the professor wants to have time to organize even a single word after this practical lecture, he or she only needs to last about two hours at most.”
“Indeed….”
It feels like the end of a road that was as vague as fog is slowly coming into view.
“Let’s take a break first. Fortunately, the devil who came this far came right awayㅡ”
“Shhh, shush!!”
Plice leapt forward and covered Do Ji-wan’s mouth with his hand.
“If you say things like that, a villain or a devil will come to you! It’s a cliché!”
“…….”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
Plice removed his hand from Do Ji-wan’s mouth with an awkward expression and stepped back.
“I understand what you’re worried about, so let’s rest for now.”
“…….”
“…….”
“… Well, during the break, should we just say something? I’m Pliche. I’m from Germany.”
“This is Do Ji-wan. He is twenty years old. And….”
Do Ji-wan, who was fiddling with his left forearm with one hand, opened his mouth as if making a groaning sound.
“Incompetent person.”
“…….”
“Mr. Plice appears to be a person of special ability. Is that Mr. Plice’s original costume?”
“Ah, yes. In Germany, he is known as an A-level talented person. Auxiliary support, healer.”
“……!”
Do Ji-wan’s eyes opened wide.
“Healer?”
“Yes.”
“So, what cards did you mainly choose when organizing the class?”
“Uh, um…”
Plice scratched his cheek and smiled humbly.
“…Unusual beings like those holding shields, being large, or like mountains…?”
“Is there any special reason?”
“I feel a little sad when I see injured people. Rather than treating an injured person, I thought it would be better to protect people like these people. Ahaha…”
“…….”
I didn’t see Plice.
“Hmm….”
Do Ji-wan’s eyes narrowed halfway for a moment.
“Mr. Plice.”
It became sharp like an eagle stalking its prey, but then changed back to a somewhat loose look.
“It’s fate that we met like this, shall we be friends?”
