episode_0035

The confrontation system is not limited by location. If you want, you can compete in that exact location, but the system itself prepares an artificial space.

So, it is possible to suddenly start a fight on the spot while eating like now.

[Do Yoo-geon vs. Nam Tae-hwan]

[Location – Training Ground Basic 1]

[Non-lethal mode]

[No item limit]

[No skill restrictions]

[Party members allowed to watch]

[No trespassing during confrontation]

[Move through space]

A message popped up in front of Do Yoo-geon, and then he and the pyromancer suddenly disappeared. There is no special effect. It feels strange because it literally disappears without a magic circle, white smoke, flash of light, or anything like that. The system has no sense. Something like this should have some effect.

As I put down my chopsticks and wiped my mouth with my handkerchief, I looked around and saw an ordinary person with a surprised expression. It’s surprising that people suddenly disappear. This is normal because people have login rights, but ordinary people can’t log in or level up, so this may be the first time they’ve seen it.

I rang the bell and called a waiter.

“Please give me a bowl. I’m going to be gone for a while, but I’m going to eat, so don’t clean it up.”

I got a bowl and put a decent amount of chicken into it to eat while watching. It’s up to you to fight while eating, but it would be better if you think deeply before you act. What would I do if I came back from a fight and found that the place had been cleaned out? So I just moved. Do Yu-geon, even if that’s the case, the pyromancer is an adult. I’m worried that he won’t learn anything.

As we moved to the training ground according to spectator rights, the two were stretching. I moved to a suitable corner spot. When I looked around, there was no place to sit. Watching is in the system, but there is no place in the space to watch. Well, this is what the system does, but it’s always like this. I roughly squatted down. If I had known this would happen, I should have brought a chair.

“Since the lady is here too, let’s check out her skills.”

The pyromancer aimed his sword at an appropriate distance from Do Yu-geon. It is a common F-class sword. It’s impossible for someone in the explorer business to have that only item, so it seems they have no intention of using the item for middle school students.

[Do Yoo-geon vs. Nam Tae-hwan]

The number 5 appeared in the middle of the training ground. The count increased as it decreased one by one.

[start]

“going!”

Do Yu-geon rushed over. The pyromancer, who quickly took a step back, stretched out the hand that was not holding the sword and muttered. The flames raged and a fireball was created on the palm of my hand. The residual fire flickered around. It is bigger and more flashy than the fireball shown last time offline.

This skill is mana, so I often forget about it, but the active skill has a level. This means that the more you use it and become more skilled at it, the stronger it becomes. Because the magical power pattern changes accordingly, the fireball you copied will be a low-level fireball and therefore less powerful than the pyromancer’s fireball.

To strengthen the magic barrier, I asked someone I knew and copied a high-level freeze enchantment, but I didn’t do that with the fireball. Because it’s more useful to just use magic power in the first place.

But when I saw it in front of my eyes, I was drawn to it. A magician must have that kind of splendor. If you fling out magical power that is invisible to others, you may have good power, but you will not be in good shape.

A fireball flew out. The guy lightly twisted his body to avoid it. The fireball flew backwards and hit the floor, causing a fire several meters wide. What is the power?

I picked up a chicken and ate it. It’s cooled down a bit.

“I’m good at dodging!”

“This is the basics!”

“Then how about this!”

The pyromancer fired another fireball at a distance that had narrowed to just before his nose. However, the fireball did not aim at Do Yu-geon, but flew towards the ground near him. A fireball exploded. The surprised guy dodged it in advance, but the aftermath of the explosion hit him.

I flinched at the sight and got up from my seat. I know it’s safe because it’s a non-lethal mode, but when I actually experience it, my heart is shocked.

While the guy was staggering from shock, the pyromancer who approached him stabbed him with his sword. A stable stab and a sword strike taken in a collapsed posture collided.

Of course you will get stabbed. However, Do Yu-geon’s sword strike turned the unfavorable situation around and struck down the pyromancer’s sword. In that short period of time, Do Yu-geon took one step and took a moment to get his bearings, then aimed for the pyromancer’s neck with a clean blow.

The surprised pyromancer pulled back. The sword narrowly grazed his neck. As Do Yu-geon took a step forward to deliver a follow-up blow, the pyromancer grinned.

“Fireball.”

The fireball exploded as it collided with Do Yu-geon’s feet. The explosion hit him directly. Do Yu-geon was engulfed in flames and collapsed. The pyromancer was also engulfed in his own flames, but he was standing unharmed, perhaps because he was not hit directly and because Do Yu-geon was hit as well.

[Nam Tae-hwan wins]

A system window appeared in the middle of the training ground. Hold this.

Looking at Do Yu-geon lying on the floor, there was no sign of fire or burnt clothes. There doesn’t seem to be any injuries. Of course it is a non-lethal mode.

The pyromancer laughed.

“Hahaha! That’s amazing. I didn’t know I would be pushed back like this by an opponent with no experience in interpersonal combat.”

“I’m buying a fireball. How many times can I use it?”

You speak sanely.

“That’s a trade secret.”

When I looked at my plate to pick up the chicken, there was no chicken. Now that I’ve eaten one, there’s no way it won’t be there. I looked at the floor. The chickens were gone. When Do Yoo-geon was hit by the fireball, he woke up in shock, but I think he dropped it all at that time. Umm.

I squatted down and gently picked one up with chopsticks. There is no dust or anything like that. The space created by the confrontation is usually clean, although it varies depending on the space. According to the research results of the Exploration League, it is created without dust or bacteria.

It’s the same here too. Although it is a training ground, it is not covered with dirt or sand. The floor is made of something similar to marble, but it is very clean to the naked eye. So, putting chicken on a plate and throwing chicken on the floor have similar results in terms of hygiene. Where the shoe landed is a different story.

But a clean thing is a clean thing, and it just feels uncomfortable to eat. The best thing to do would be to throw it away and get a new chicken, but that would be too much of a hassle.

I glanced at the two people talking and used magic to pick up the chickens. And then he approached the pyromancer.

“The winner deserves chicken.”

I lifted the plate high.

“Oh. Chicken is good.”

The pyromancer picked up a piece of chicken and ate it. eat deliciously. Umm.

“it is delicious?”

“It’s delicious. This is the best restaurant.”

I thought seeing other people eating would ease the discomfort, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. I don’t want to eat something that fell on the floor. I have to throw it away and get a new one.

“please give me too.”

Do Yu-gun said while lying down, unable to get up due to the effects of non-lethal mode.

I shook my head.

“It’s not good for your health.”

“I ate well earlier, what are you talking about?”

That’s my heart.

I left the space and brought back some new chicken. When I came back, I saw Do Yu-geon standing up fine and moving his body around. It is said that the degree to which one cannot move in non-lethal mode varies greatly depending on the situation, but it seems to have been resolved quickly this time.

“I was surprised when my neck was aimed at. Prosecutors who face each other for the first time cannot easily swing their swords. Don’t you feel pressured?”

“It’s non-lethal anyway. There’s nothing to be reluctant about.”

“You adapt quickly. It’s good to be young. I’m not old enough to say this. Hahaha!”

I went to the corner seat. I placed the sauce bowl appropriately to the side. I forgot to bring the sauce earlier, so I brought it this time. I dipped the chicken in honey mustard and took a bite. The sauce here is homemade, so it has a unique feel. It seems to have mustard in it because it has a slightly tangy taste at the end. Then isn’t it honey mustard and not honey mustard? I thought about it for a moment and quit. It’s okay if it’s delicious.

Do Yu-geon seemed to have finished stretching when he aimed his sword.

[Do Yoo-geon vs. Nam Tae-hwan]

The count increased and a system window called Start appeared.

Do Yu-geon rushed at the pyromancer without a word. Before I could even run a few steps, a fireball flew at my feet. Magic can be used faster than before. It seems the pyromancer has no intention of paying attention. You should also know how to lose like an adult. Does anyone have anything to be upset about?

Still, Do Yu-geon must have had a rematch without any countermeasures, so when the fireball flew, he did not avoid it but instead approached it. The sword swung and the fireball split in two. The magic pattern was broken and the fireball did not explode but was dissipated by magic. What. How did you do it?

Do Yu-geon looks surprised, probably surprised that he did it himself.

“Is this what happens?”

What happened to this? So you were planning on just exploding and getting hit? I once said that I wanted to try using magic, so I said it was dangerous and I didn’t want to do it, but I’m giving it a try in this situation.

The pyromancer, who was also surprised, spoke.

“It’s amazing, but it’s still a battle.”

A fireball flew out. Do Yu-geon cut it cleanly and got rid of it.

“Without further ado, I won.”

“You don’t know that. It’s an established belief on the Internet that a swordsman will win if he fights a wizard, but that’s not true. Let’s see if the blow from earlier was a fluke or not!”

This time, on the contrary, the pyromancer rushed at Do Yu-geon. When the sword attack came, Do Yoo-geon struck it down.

The pyromancer took advantage of that momentary gap. A fireball was created from his empty hand and aimed at Do Yu-geon. Since it is a magic at very close range, neither of them will be unharmed when it explodes.

Nevertheless, the fact that he wrote it probably means that there is another option that would be okay for him. The most likely thing is an item. Is it fun to beat a middle school student who doesn’t have any money with a tempo?

Do Yu-geon forcefully turned his sword and slashed the fireball. In the process, my posture suffered greatly. The pyromancer threw away his sword and slammed into Do Yu-geon.

“100 million!”

Do Yu-geon, whose posture had collapsed, fell to his knees. The pyromancer who had also fallen pulled out a dagger from his clothes and swung it several times.

[Nam Tae-hwan wins]

What. The pyromancer stood up and Do Yu-geon shouted.

“This is a foul!”

“What? This?”

The pyromancer waved his dagger. It is a common F-class dagger.

“Other than that. How can you trust an item and use a fireball at close range?”

That’s right.

“Oh, that. Hahaha!”

The pyromancer shook his head.

“I do have that item, but I’m not wearing it right now.”

“Then what about just now?”

“Of course it’s psychological warfare. All you have to do is believe that there is an item regardless of whether it is there or not. This is real combat. Hahaha!”

Is it a scammer?

There were two confrontations after that. Do Yu-geon lost in all cases. No matter how you look at it, Do Yu-geon wins by a landslide in terms of swordsmanship skills, and he can cut fireballs, but he keeps losing because of minor nitpicks.

This is clearly a difference in experience. According to the pyromancer himself, he is preparing for the explorer business, so he must have been working hard on the battle system, which has only been updated for about two months. Do Yoo-geon is not suited for confrontation, so today was my first experience. It is a natural defeat.

Still, it’s a bit like that. I’m weak at pyromancer, but I can’t beat him. I think we need to give Do Yoo-geon some experience. Since I don’t want to point a knife at him, should I talk to the head of the security team and find a suitable partner?

However, it seems like it would just be a distraction from my studies to really look for it. I’ll have to think about it a bit.

* * *

After eating, we parted ways with the pyromancer. It would have been better to go home soon, but I felt slightly sad, so I went out to the street to take a short walk with Do Yu-geon to digest the food.

As I walked for a bit, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

“Should we just go to a cafe instead of walking?”

“It’s been a while since I walked.”

The guy pointed backwards. When I looked, I saw a chicken restaurant that had just opened. I really only walked for a little while.

So what.

“My legs are tired from walking.”

“If you’re already tired, it’s obvious you’re not exercising enough. Shouldn’t you walk more?”

You’re saying the right things in vain. When I logged in, all I did was fly, so I didn’t walk much. But these days, I walk a lot to go to and from school. My mom subtly notices me, so I tend to walk around the house as well.

“Anyway, I ate, so I should drink coffee.”

“You just drank coffee.”

I drank coffee from a chicken restaurant vending machine. About a few minutes ago.

“That is that and this is this.”

Maybe they’re in a bad mood because they kept losing today, but they don’t give a shit to this team.

I grabbed his arm and led him. There was a Starbucks right in front of me, so I glanced at it and passed by. I thought he was going to ask me why, but he was dragged in with an expression that seemed like he wanted to do that. What is that expression?

I walked a bit, turned into an alley, and as I went a little further, I saw a local cafe in the corner. The exquisite choice of location is perfect for not having guests. It feels like the owner of the building opened a cafe as a hobby, but didn’t want to be bothered to receive customers, so he opened it in a building in a crappy location.

This is a place Yumina recommended to go to if you’re going to a cafe before leaving today. The coffee is delicious or something. Moreover, it is said that there are no customers. I don’t know what coffee tastes like, but since he recommended it, I have to go. Once I get home, I don’t feel like coming to a place like this, so I have to go there when I go out.

When I entered the cafe, there was no one except the owner. Wow, there are no customers. I sat down roughly. What is on the menu here?

As I was looking at the menu that didn’t even have a cake, I suddenly felt a strong wave of magical power. what? Is it an illusion? The scale is so large that it feels like a long time.
