I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

9 – Settlement of the ordeal

It took some time for me to meet Seoyeon Han.

Suddenly, the whole place became bright as if all the objects in the forest were emitting light.

Because I was in the middle of a modern city while I closed my eyes for a moment because it was dazzling.

“This is…”

Because I’m thinking maybe it’s the Earth.

“This is the waiting room.”

“A waiting room?”

An expressionless Han Seo-yeon appeared next to her and said.

… Fortunately, it wasn’t a dream.

“I’ll explain soon, so take care of him first.”

When Han Seo-yeon looked in the direction where her chin snapped, she saw Snow White, who had lost her mind, lying on her floor.

“Seola!”

“Ummm…”

Fortunately, she doesn’t have any visible injuries.

Since she suffered a mental attack, she was worried that she might not have any trauma left, so she carefully held her.

She said it was difficult to lift like this, but it was quite easy because her strength improved.

I like this.

“Let’s go.”

As I followed the trudging Han Seo-yeon, I could understand her surroundings.

It felt more like a complex rather than a city.

It was a form where various facilities were installed based on the large building in the middle.

It’s a little big, right?

After looking around the waiting room like that, I entered the building in the middle and saw the scenery of the front desk of the hotel.

Maybe this was a hotel.

There was no staff to check in.

You can’t enter any room, so let’s carefully lay Snow White on the sofa.

– Ding!

The elevator suddenly opened.

“Nice to meet you, everyone.”

… And the angel came down

What kind of situation is this?

The angel was an angel with watery hair that I had seen before.

Your name….

“One of the admins to help you out. This is Gabriel.”

That’s right. Gabriel.

“I met you once before the ordeal began.”

It was.

It seems that the Tower is in charge of explanations.

However, unlike the time when he was dressed as a typical angel, he is wearing a woman’s suit now, which is a bit new.

Although it still looks divine.

“First of all, since this situation is confusing, I’d like to explain…Snow White? You need to wake up.”

“Uh, uh…”

At the angel’s words, Seol-i stood up.

Did the angel do something? Or it could have been awake earlier.

Inadvertently, I wanted to ask how long you had been awake, but when I remembered that I was in a state where I couldn’t lie, I shut my mouth.

Well, the kid can smoke a little bit.

I’m not a body type like me or Han Seo-yeon.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but I felt very sorry for him to secretly look at me, so I decided to return the topic.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes! It’s okay!”

“By the way, your bodies have been treated in the best condition ever since you entered this place.”

“Yes…”

… I didn’t expect it to happen from the start.

Anyway, when all three were ready to listen, Gabriel began explaining in earnest.

“This is waiting room number 3 on the first floor of the tower.”

‘No. 3?’

Sounds like there are other waiting rooms as well.

“It is a space where you can rest in peace while attacking the first floor. It was created in the form that is considered most suitable for rest by referring to your civilization.”

It is said that it refers to our civilization, so you might be able to make it feel like you are on Earth.

“All facilities are free, so you can use them however you like.”

And it’s free.

I’m excited already.

“By the way, you can come out to the waiting room and take a break at a certain point while challenging the first floor of the tower.”

This… Sounds like pretty important information.

“As I said before, when you enter the waiting room, your body heals in its best condition, so I hope you make good use of it.”

As soon as I thought of that, Gabriel confirmed it.

You’re pretty kind.

However, from the next word, Gabriel’s mood changed.

If you were kind until now… I feel hysterical somewhere now.

“From now on, let’s talk about the contents of the ordeal.”

Why is that… ?

“First of all, I think you’d be surprised that only the three of you arrived in the waiting room even though the ordeal was over.”

‘Aren’t they all dead?’

Of course I thought so.

“The reason is that from the start of the 4th day and the Goblin Warrior and Shamyeon being selected, you have been separated and have been through the ordeal.”

“Aha.”

“Huh, I’m glad…”

“Hmm?”

Unlike Snow White, who was relieved for some reason, I didn’t think of anything.

Because I’ve never acted with people in the first place.

Even if we talk about it now, only the impression of ‘you’re there’ comes out.

But why is Snow White relieved?

Let’s ask about him.

“I’m sure people won’t remember us as goblin shamans or warriors. That’s a relief”

“…That’s it too.”

Looks like you didn’t pay too much attention to reputation.

Has your senses become dull because you only care about the regressor?

Because I think so.

Gabriel, who had been listening to our conversation for a while, spoke again at the perfect timing.

“The reason for taking such action is that you provoked Gobrick so much that the situation escalated.”

“Oh.”

“It was an unavoidable decision, as the Normal Participants would not be able to survive.”

… Why do you give strength to ‘normal’?

“Do you have any questions?”

“Me.”

“…Tell me.”

As Seoyeon Han raised her hand, Gabriel’s expression seemed to distort.

‘Did I see it wrong?’

“Then you say we went through a more difficult ordeal, what kind of reward is there?”

“I was going to distribute the rewards next time anyway.”

“Oh.”

“…If there are no other questions, I’ll proceed right away.”

Now, he was crumpling his face without even trying to hide it.

Han Seo-yeon seems to be hated.

“First of all, the ‘Mark of the Great Warrior’ and the ‘Mark of the Shaman’.”

A pair of bracelets that resemble each other are presented in front of us before we know it.

“This equipment allows you to borrow one perk from the Great Warrior and Shaman.”

“Oh.”

“Originally, those who defeated the warriors and shamans will get it, but the situation was the situation, so I thought it was right to give it to everyone.”

As for the equipment given to you when you defeat the Great Warrior… Wasn’t that what Han Seo-yeon said was a waste to kill me and get?

Those perks were nice, but honestly, I prefer this one.

“Next is Gobrick’s wand.”

“A stick?”

I haven’t seen anything like that….

“By the time you met, it was already destroyed by rampaging gobrick.”

“Oops.”

Brick was very angry.

“This equipment increases the amount of mana and increases the power of spells and magic.”

Seol’s eyes lit up after hearing the explanation.

Although Seol is the only person who will take it anyway.

“The two of you can discuss and determine ownership.”

“Brother, that’s…”

“I don’t need you in the first place, so take it.”

“Thank you.”

From the point of view of a community of destiny bound by domination anyway, there is no one for you or mine.

… But since earlier, Han Seo-yeon has not received anything.

Did he feel that way too?

“Why do I have nothing?”

Again, Han Seo-yeon, who argues with a lack of social skills.

Is that something you do on purpose?

You seem to be kind, but did something bad happen with the angel?

“…What, you mean.”

“In the first place, we receive this reward for doing well, not for overcoming difficult trials.”

Huh?

Is that what I heard?

“As I explained just now, the reason you all went through difficult trials in the first place was because you slaughtered and brainwashed the goblins.”

Seol-i flinches at the voice mixed with faint anger, and Han Seo-yeon remains calm.

“The two rewards just now were virtually impossible to obtain using the original procedure.”

“It’s not entirely our fault that we didn’t get it in the first place, is it?”

I’m sorry for Seol-i, who doesn’t know what to do.

For now… I decided to cheer for Han Seo-yeon, a trustworthy regressor who wants to tear off even one more.

“We just did our best in our own way.”

“The best has only led to the worst.”

However, Gabriel, whom I thought would be an easy opponent, was stubborn.

Actually, it was ambiguous.

The manager who ruined the ordeal he created

Vs.

A regressor who just worked hard but was swept away by a test with a strange difficulty

I’m on the side of the regressor anyway, but from a neutral point of view, which side should I take?

Is it self-sufficient for a regressor? Or the manager’s difficulty adjustment failure?

As I was thinking about that, I suddenly noticed that there was a contradiction in the angel’s words.

“In the first place, just the equipment Han Seo-yeon got from the tutorial area is a total of four pieces: the pumpkin ring, the spirit’s promise, the bee necklace, and the wind walk.”

“It’s something I’ve worked hard for.”

“It’s something that should have been shared among many people.”

“I was just lucky.”

“We know you found them in an unusual way.”

So I got stuck between the two in an almost fighting mood.

“Excuse me, excuse me.”

“…Why do you do that?”

As if my image wasn’t bad, unlike when I was dealing with Han Seo-yeon, a compassionate voice came out.

So I said it with confidence.

“I didn’t brainwash or massacre, so can you give me a reward?”

Come to think of it, I was the party itself.

‘I don’t think Han Seo-yeon will get a reward anyway, but I should get one too.’

I meant it with that thought in mind.

The response was unexpected.

Beksul’s eyes widened in betrayal, and Han Seoyeon’s expression was interesting.

Gabriel’s smile was the same… It would be correct to say that it hardened, but anyway.

Because I am bewildered by the sudden silence.

I saw Gabriel with a really comfortable smile for some reason.

… But why do you feel angry?

It must be because of your mood, right?

“Okay. Then, I’ll give you a special reward for Nam Hyeon-woo.”

“Oh.”

What are you going to give me?

“Three days until the others arrive in the waiting room.”

After a pause, Gabriel snapped his fingers.

A door appeared in the air.

“We will make the special dungeon available.”

… Wait for a sec.

I don’t like this.
