chapter 12
Episode 12
5. Hero’s Tears (1)
West Terrier 9th Street House of Representatives Dormitory Room 303 is now a real home.
As she gulped down the water and looked at Camilla, her scarlet eyes met.
“…”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“That… thank you…”
Camilla wiggled her fingers and said.
It was so hard that I almost died trying to get her to my room, who passed out in the gym.
It’s crazy to have managed to come to my senses in the lobby, but if I went up the stairs, I was 100% exhausted.
“But what exactly happened?”
But that doesn’t mean they can’t tell you what happened in the arena.
It was a bug anyway, so it’s unclear whether she will accept it purely. I stumbled a bit.
“I don’t know, I suddenly passed out and I was surprised too.”
“Um, have you been feeling a little sluggish lately…?”
Camilla crossed her arms and shook her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Things like that happen, too.”
“Then I haven’t heard of your body.”
“How do you hear me? You’ve been knocked down.”
“…Then wait a minute.”
Camilla came up to me and said, She made eye contact with me, and came close to touching the elephant.
I felt a hook, a hot breath on my skin.
“What suddenly?”
“Close your eyes! It’s embarrassing!”
And then he starts to touch my body.
Frightened by the stinging hand, Camila screams with a blushing red face when she pulls her body out.
“Nu, close your eyes!”
“No, you don’t have to tell me what?”
“I mean, you’re trying to confirm it in a way other than reaction…!”
Hearing that, I just closed my eyes. No, if there was such a way, I would have written it earlier. You didn’t even have to go to the gym, did you?
I feel a small hand like a fern running through my body. It looks like his hands are trembling, but it’s probably because of his mood.
Has it been like that for about five minutes?
“Huh? Wait…”
I slowly opened my eyes to Camila’s voice, which was filled with embarrassment. Her face was clearly agitated.
Maybe the potential is huge, or something like that?
I asked Camilla, trying to calm her pounding heart again.
“How’s my body?”
“It’s completely garbage…?”
* * *
“Write…”
A space where Camila goes back to her room and there is only silence.
I continued to ponder the sequence of words I had heard from Camilla.
– Oh, no, it’s garbage. Words are in vain!
– It’s already too late to fix it later.
– That’s not it! What if your real physique hits the floor?
The figure is just about the average person who hasn’t been trained. It is said that the level of ability is so disastrous that it is not accepted even as a student of the Hwagwon-ryu Tang family, let alone a paradise school.
– Are you really under a curse or something like that? Or the climax? I heard that people who have reached the state of Qi can hide their energy.
She kept pouring out her own random reasoning as if she couldn’t understand it with her common sense.
In addition to the explanation that the movements shown in Dalian with these physical abilities are impossible.
Although it was said that it was a characteristic of a one-person lore, a vision passed down from the family, it was unclear how long it would be effective.
Now, in two weeks, I will be put into the dungeon in earnest, and then my terrible stats will be completely exposed.
The stats were sealed, and even the default values were garbage.
Of course, Camilla was supposed to help with physical training from tomorrow, but the gap
It didn’t seem like it could be reduced quickly.
In addition to the standard increase in ability through training or training, other methods had to be devised.
There were several ways to raise stats without using the status spear and training in Paradise Academia.
Among them, the most effective is also ‘Tempal’.
Armor, clothing, necklaces, and rings, which can be obtained by clearing dungeons or performing certain quests, often have options for increasing stats.
What I had to acquire here were accessories rather than clothes.
It had to be an item that could increase stats even while wearing school uniforms or training clothes.
‘An ornament, an ornament. What trinkets were you able to get at the beginning?’
The one that immediately came to mind was “Aaron’s Golden Ring.”
It was a ring-type item that you can get if you ask a herbalist in Nosteria, but the performance wasn’t bad, so I remember wearing it until the winter break of my freshman year.
However, as I am now, I had a little difficulty in doing it right away.
It doesn’t require battle, but the place for the quest to proceed is the Honmu Forest in the first year. Even if the monster is weak, it will be difficult alone.
‘This is Kip. I’ll have to lure Camilla later and practice it together.’
And the other one… … .
“Tears of a Hero” are obtained by completing the main quest in the beginning.
It was a necklace type accessory, not a ring, and it was not only a structure that must be obtained by clearing the main scenario, but also had better performance than Aaron’s gold ring.
Moreover, it was the most easily obtained 3-star (epic) accessory in the first year, so it was a must-have equipment for the initial ability ppong.
Performance, difficulty to obtain, and frankly, the design was a must-have item, but the biggest problem was still.
‘Originally, it’s a piece of equipment that only the main character of the game could acquire.’
Next week, the day the dungeon will be opened to first-year students in earnest.
While wandering around the introductory dungeon ‘Hesperiif’, Aidan is led by an unidentified voice to find a hidden passage.
There was a room called ‘The Forgotten Hero’s Rest’ in the place where we went after defeating the monsters-
Obtaining the hero’s tears along with the three-star weapons remaining there will begin the full-fledged main scenario at Paradise School.
‘It’s become a weapon, if only I could bring the tears of a hero… … .’
Even if I’m in charge of the early stats ppong, considering Aidan’s growth stats, even if I take a sip, it won’t have much of an impact on my future journey.
Even if it was an all-stat +5 effect, unlike me, who couldn’t allocate stats in the first place, it was a level that could be achieved easily if I continued training.
“Okay. I’ll try it tomorrow.”
What if Aidan feels sorry for Aidan who has his eyes taken away from the equipment with pretty good performance?
Whatever it is, my survival should come first.
* * *
The next day, the moon suddenly appeared on the night.
I managed to get to the cave located near the ‘Hesperiif Intro Dungeon’, avoiding the eyes of the guards patrolling.
I also benefited from the passive skill “primitive” that I have.
It was because I was able to escape quickly before the guards were even aware of my presence.
‘It won’t be bad for dungeon attack later.’
Nakwon Island was transformed from the original location of the Demon King’s Castle into an ‘educational institution that nurtures warriors’.
Therefore, the dungeons distributed throughout the island are basically in the form of a labyrinth.
No matter how attacked and used by students for training, there are still hidden passages and traps left as they are basically remnants of the Demon King.
When exploring such a perilous place, it was clear that primitives would play a pretty important role.
‘It is said that dog dung is also used for medicine. The passive, which I thought was ambiguous, would be used like this.’
With that thought in mind, I took out the shield I had purchased in advance from my bag.
A round shield with a base of rough wood and a round iron in the center. The price is a cheap item, less than 40 Kelly.
The owner of the armor shop said that such a product could not be used except for training, and recommended a usable shield at a slightly higher price, but for now, this was enough.
I didn’t mean to fight.
Since the Hisperiif Introductory Dungeon is the first dungeon open to first-year students, the monsters that appear are not very strong.
If you go deep, you might not know, but most of the monsters have low intelligence and do not form groups up to the 2nd basement level, which is the recommended hunting area.
But even those sloppy people were monsters at first.
It won’t be that hard to lose your life in the moment of even a little bit of carelessness.
Entering the dungeon on the standard route right now was no different than suicide.
Even if you kill the monsters and find the passage to the resting place, how do you catch the boss who jumps in it?
Even with Aidan who raised his stats, he was quite a difficult enemy, but I didn’t think that I would be able to clear it easily.
Therefore, I was planning to write a foul.
That’s why I’m not at the entrance to the Hisperiif dungeon, but in front of the cave a little further away.
“Then let’s go in.”
With a shield in one hand and a lamp in the other, she stepped into the dark cave.
This place, decorated just like an empty cave, was actually an exit directly connected to the haven of the forgotten warrior.
As the haven is a space entered from the second basement level of Hisperief, it is a kind of shortcut made for the convenience of the production team so that they can quickly return to the ground.
According to the norm, the door can only be opened by operating the device on the sanctuary side, and it will be blocked from entering from the outside… … .
There’s no way you can stop me from being dead with just that.
“A wall with a particularly indented wall. That was probably this way.”
Relying on the light of the lamp, I was able to find a crack without difficulty as I fumbled through the walls of the cave.
Fireball Baseball.
Block the rapier with a one-handed sword.
All of these were not bugs, but a ‘glitching technique’ that forcibly loosened the constraints of the world by causing mistakes or unexpected crashes during development.
Paradise Academia isn’t a very well-made game, so there are other techniques besides that.
If there is one that is most famous and popular among them, it would be the wall-piercing technique.
A glitching technique using recoil and stiffness that inevitably occurs when shields and structures collide.
It was a technique that could pierce a blocked wall by bouncing off the impact by turning the body at an angle that could penetrate the wall just before it collided.
How useful it is, from the 5th episode onwards, he used it every time to clear the Hisperiif dungeon episode at once.
After that, I often used it to clear annoying dungeons.
“Who, ha, hoo, ha.”
I took a deep breath and calmed my mind. No matter how often I succeed in the game, now that I am doing it with my own body, my anxiety is doubled.
‘But it’s still hitting the wall, so if it goes wrong, it’ll hurt X… … ?’
Before the worst thoughts could gnaw at my best resolve, I closed my eyes and ran straight to the wall.
“Shield forward!!! Body to the left!!”
Paang!!
“Aww!!”
The moment the wall and shield collide, a sharp shock is transmitted from the wrist and rushes through the body.
Involuntarily, a painful scream erupted from the throbbing vibration of every bone.
However, my body bounced off the recoil, as if it had become a ghost, passed through the wall and fell inward.
He was rolling down the slope that had been cut down, but he did not feel any sensation except for the pain of hitting the wall for the first time.
If you ask me, is it like rolling on the ground in zero gravity?
“Pooh!!”
My body, which had been rolling so hard, crashed into the hard floor, and I grabbed the bridge of my nose that was painfully sore.
“Damn, I can’t eat this twice! Really!”
As I opened my eyes, spitting the dust that had entered my mouth, I saw the remains of someone lying on one side of the wall at an angle.
A member of the 5 Heroes who sealed the Demon King.
The starting point of the great epic related to Paradise Island.
Forgotten Heroes. It was Triston’s grave.
