chapter 18
18. Practice (3)
[PHASE 1] – 96:00:00
Upon entering the <Kylon Pavilion>, the first thing to welcome the students was a large lettering in the air and a timer.
Phase 1.
He continued walking, pondering the strangely ominous letters.
– Load the set battlefield.
When all the students entered, the surrounding background was broken to reveal the forest in survival mode, which will be the background for this practice.
Since most of the students were experiencing <Kylon Coffin> for the first time, admiration naturally flowed out.
But soon, I remembered the essence of this practice. 5-day sleepless survival.
Naturally, tension builds up.
fat? Take it!
At this time,
“Ahh! what’s this!”
I was startled to see the mouse that appeared under my feet.
Instinct footsteps followed.
-All members of Group C are eliminated.
Then I heard Professor Lucas’ cool voice.
No, what did you mean you were already eliminated?
-Golden nameplates would have said you couldn’t participate in battle.
It was.
The practice was starting as soon as they entered the <Kylon Pavilion>. Even this rat is the target of battle, a monster.
It is the fault of those who are careless. But it was so embarrassing. Shouldn’t it be at least a start signal?
-Would you like a start sign in real battles?
“Ha, but…”
– There is no second chance.
Only cold replies came back.
* * *
‘Oh, aren’t you nervous?’
As expected, one team fell at the start.
All of this was completely according to my plan.
I didn’t even think that it would be Deyan’s group.
In the first place, this practice is not meant to level up monsters, but to give them a harsh environment and raise their survivability. In addition, teamwork is as important as individual abilities. No matter how good an individual is, if a team member trolls, they will all be eliminated.
I put one of these elements in each phase.
The moment you get distracted, you just drop out.
Anyway, after the first dropout, it seems that the students’ tension has risen dramatically. There is caution in every action.
That’s the true essence of Phase 1 I’m hoping for.
This is the so-called ‘branch nerve’.
If you keep a sharp nerve on every little thing, that fatigue is doubled.
In that state, you go to survival without sleeping for 5 days? You will be pushed to the extreme.
The level of monsters that will pop out in this exercise is basically tailored to the student with the weakest force.

Monsters aren’t the problem.
It is a system that requires flexible responses to the surrounding environment.
The actual battlefield will torment them in a much worse environment than this. They have to keep me in it.
“Come on, this is the real beginning……”
The practice has only just begun.
* * *
“Five days in <Kylon Pavilion>?”
“Yes, it is.”
“That’s right… Yes, you did a great job. For now, go in and rest until the next order is issued.”
“Yes.”
Hearing Lit’s report, he wiped his chin.
5 days of practice. Also in a space isolated from the reality of <Kylon Coffin>.
‘If anything terrible happens there… it would be difficult for Professor Lucas to remain in Grasco.’
For example – being trapped there and unable to get out, the system of <Kylon Coffin> causing an abnormality, or demons appearing there.
“It’s an investment worth making.”
He smiled and headed somewhere.

[A new notification has arrived.]
[Habaek. You sponsored 1,000G.]
[Habaek. 3,000G sponsored.]
[Number of erections sponsored by 1,000G.]
Sponsorship continues to win awards.
As much as I doubt it’s a hidden camera.
It’s so unbelievable
Anyway, now I have the courage to try the gold shop products at the killer prices.
I called the gold shop and looked at the items.
.
.
.
– Teleport scroll (one-time use) 5,600G
-Vision Enhancement (Level 2) 7,000G
-Hair growth agent (6 months) 8,300G
.
.
.
Still full of unknown items.
Among the items that I do not know why they receive thousands of gold for this kind of thing, there were some that stood out.
The teleport scroll seems to be useful when escaping from a crisis situation, and in the case of strengthening eyesight, it was true that the first stage had great utility, so expectations for the second stage were raised.
And… the hair growth system catches the eye.
No, I’m not losing my hair, I’m just. you don’t know
‘I’ll worry about it… later.’
It is still time to collect more gold.
The gold shop was closed with only regret.

[PHASE 2] – 71:36:22
The first day passed with ups and downs.
Except for Group C, who was eliminated first, no one has fallen so far.
And the level of the monsters summoned was not to the point of worrying about it, but to be dealt with.
The problem is fatigue.
‘Is my physical stamina like this?’
Those who thought they were confident in their physical strength were also feeling extremely tired.
As Lucas intended, those who have sharpened nerves feel fatigue more easily.
“If you go in this state, you will have a hardship once in the third day. Rather, set a non-visit number, and when it is a golden nameplate, let’s close our eyes for a little while.”
He also suggested a plausible solution.
However,
Wow!
“What kind of mosquito swarm…”
“Don’t move! It’s a monster too!”
It wasn’t that shabby.
The small elements that were difficult to deal with, which could only be recognized as an attack if careless, continued to gnaw at them and made them tired.
[PHASE 3] – 46:56:24
Now, the monster-down monsters began to be summoned.
But it’s still bearable.
In particular, the performance of Group B, to which Eylon belongs, is remarkable. Because Eylon’s magic weapon doesn’t feel tired.
This does not mean that Group B is without ups and downs. When Eylon’s nameplate turned golden, from then on, she had to be extremely vigilant and protect Eylon.
Otherwise, Eylon’s magic weapon will automatically activate to protect its owner.
“Hey, can’t you turn it off?”
impossible
Because the defense against things approaching in super close proximity to Aylon was set so that it could not be manipulated in the first place.
Those who saw Eylon’s physical condition had no choice but to agree. Aren’t they holding up better than themselves with a body that is several times more bare than themselves?
What’s more, when Eylon isn’t a golden badge, it’s because he’s resting comfortably.
[PHASE 4] – 20:48:16
‘Come on, come on!’
For four days, I didn’t get a proper rest and I couldn’t eat properly.
It was facing its limits in many ways.
In addition, the Orcs summoned in Phase 4 were so intelligent that they tormented the students through guerrilla tactics.
He was pushing the tired students to the limit, persistently and intellectually tormenting them.
Now, there are many who have reached their limit.
But none of them thought of giving up midway.
‘Just one more day, let’s hold on for one more day…’
But his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred and dull.
“stop!”
“Huh!”
Now, awareness of the golden nameplate has faded, and the risk of being eliminated is lingering.
-All members of Group A are eliminated.
“ah······.”
In the end, the blind attack hit the monster, and a group that was eliminated was created.
Now, there are only two teams left in Group B and Group D.
In Group B, Aylon’s performance was holding out, while in Group D, Ruina’s performance stood out.
As a descendant of the Magic Tower, he was surviving based on his strong mental power. Excellent magic skills were a bonus, but that wasn’t all.
However, these two teams were also slowly reaching their limits.

Magical weapon’s magic power is not infinite, but rechargeable. Now, it was slowly showing the bottom, so it had to be distributed strategically, and Ruina’s reaction was slowing down a bit as her mental power came to a limit as well.
[PHASE 5] – 7:06:41
‘finally······.’
The long-awaited last day.
Fatigue comes over me dizzy, but now, in a few hours, all this torment is over.
If you are vigilant, you fall asleep, your posture collapses, and you wake up again in surprise.
The faces of the remaining students were dying darkly.
But they couldn’t show weakness.
Lucas is looking down at them from above.
Because he, like them, was watching 96 hours without sleep.
He doesn’t even look tired.
‘monster······.’
I’ve seen him training without falling asleep, moving vigorously, but he doesn’t feel tired at all.
Really, it’s a monster.
As if insisting with his whole body that he could only survive on the battlefield at that level, he was observing them loftily.
Fortunately, in Phase 5, monster attacks are rare.
Do you consider it the last day?
[PHASE 5] – 00:59:59
Finally, less than an hour left.
The moment when hope shines in the eyes of the rest-
“Ah, damn…”
Due to the monsters that appeared, they had no choice but to despair.
“It’s a comprehensive gift set.”
The monsters that had been tormenting them in the meantime had gathered and flocked in like a huge flood.
The rest grabbed their weapons and started preparing to face the huge wave.
* * *
Professor Lucas’ ‘practice’ was being broadcast live outside.
Those who fell were watching the practice without sleeping or eating like those inside the <Kylon Coffin>.
And the ‘darkness’ hiding in Grasco was also watching all this.
To get Lucas into trouble.
It took 80 hours to hack the system of <Kylon Tube>.
Now I’ll lock them in there and give you a nice present.
“Goodbye, Professor Lucas.”
Exhausted, he smiled darkly and operated the system.
* * *
‘Are you holding up well beyond your thoughts?’
We expected that there would be only one team left until Phase 5. However, two teams that far exceeded my expectations survived.
I drove it to the limit by referring to UDT-style training, but it was because there was no physical training.
Next, I watched them with the devilish idea of adding physical training.
Anyway, they’re really great guys. It’s me who has a super recovery, so I can’t sleep and endure it, but they’re really sticking with a blank slate.
‘Yes, you must be stronger. It must be sharpened even more.’
was delighted
The growth of my meat shields was unparalleled.
Now the finale of this exercise begins.

Monster Wave.
In front of that huge wave, the remaining two teams must endure.
Already, I can hear the sound of a wrinkled expression and mental breakdown.
Wow!
yes, like this
······huh? Why is there no sound support?
Is the mental breaking sound original sound support?
Whoops, whoops!
Oh no.
This sound is not a sound of mental breakdown.
The sound of space breaking and cracking.
‘No, why is that broken?’
For a moment, I was surprised by the unexpected variable.
I couldn’t help but be more astonished to see the sullen beings appearing among the broken cracks.
A monster that wraps its entire body with hard scales, and its huge horns overwhelm its gaze.
The lowest level demon, Nunu.
Although they lack intelligence, they are beings with ignorant power enough to steam ogres lightly.
‘It’s fucked up.’
Those, the weary students cannot deal with.
“Practice is over.”
I hurriedly turned off the system of <Kylon Tube> and tried to go outside.
However,
– You cannot leave.
what?
Tried again, but the answer was the same.
‘What the hell is going on?’
The moment the pupil shakes violently,
[A new notification has arrived.]
[Tomat sponsored 500G.]
[Beef soup was sponsored by 100G.]
[Jd110hsh sponsored 300G.]
[jd110hsh sponsored 100G.]

Sponsorship notices that filled the view again arrived. But it doesn’t end here.
[Your gold has exceeded 10,000G. As a celebration, a Gold Shop Discount Coupon (X1) was given.]
‘Gold Shop Discount Coupon? Wait a minute······.’
In an instant, an item popped into my mind.
