There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 14

6. Paradise Patch and Dummy Data (1)

“No, why are they here?”

A question that I didn’t even know existed. I could hardly control my facial expressions.

I remember clearly what happened that day. Camilla fainted out of the blue, and an unidentified mannequin appeared in the creepy atmosphere.

And the mannequins soon changed into different figures.

One was in the shape of a beautiful girl with long gray hair tied in a ponytail. Another was the face of a hot-blooded black-haired boy.

And even the white Taekwondo uniform that stood out.

The people who are greeting Camilla at the dance floor now are obviously the non-implemented NPCs they met at that time.

‘I thought it was dummy data, how did this happen?’

However, nothing happened in the bug console.

This is in stark contrast to the time when the mannequin suddenly appeared and the screen was filled with errors.

If that’s the case, then it’s not an error… … ?

I seriously tried to calculate the probability that I missed two of them during the game. The result was 0% no matter how much I thought about it.

‘I can’t.’

It’s not like I’ve broken Camila’s epic quests once or twice. In the process, I have never witnessed the NPCs Kim Tae-hoon and Yoon So-young.

And in the first place, the outfit is also Taekwondo uniform, right?

I could have overlooked it, even though I took it to the middle of the Central Terrier, in the middle of Paradise Island, where many NPCs roam.

If there was such a character, there would have been a riot in the forum already.

Anyone can see Korean, anyone can see Taekwondo character, but there’s no way gamers from Daehan, who are crazy about soup, can’t just leave it alone.

A taekwondo boy/girl character that even I, who was a community leader, doesn’t know?

It was not easy to understand.

“Huh? Baek San-woo, do you know each other too?”

In the meantime, Camilla seems to have mistakenly thought she was surprised because she was already acquainted.

“no?”

“But why are you surprised?”

“There is such a thing.”

I dragged Camila behind me and stopped the two men straddling them.

It was because I wondered if an error message would appear like the last time when I got closer.

“…? Why is he suddenly like this?”

He leaves Camilla, who does not know English, and makes eye contact with Kim Tae-hoon.

Even though he approached him enough to reach right away, the console was still silent.

“Nice to meet you. Are you close to Camilla-sama?”

“……Yes that’s right.”

“It’s an honor to meet you. My name is Kim Tae-hoon, who entered the first year of school this year. Next to me is my childhood friend Yoon So-young.”

“This is So-Young Yoon. Please take care of me.”

mood is clean There was no sense of incongruity in the voice, and everything in action and dialogue was natural.

If it hadn’t been for the last time, I would have mistaken it for someone who had existed from the beginning.

Although I was wary, I held the hands of Tae-Hoon Kim and So-Young Yoon and exchanged greetings lightly.

“It’s called the Baeksan-woo of the Eastern Federation.”

“Oh!! You are an alumni!!!”

Kim Tae-hoon is very happy with his mouth wide open.

Hearing that Yoon So-young also came from the same area, her expression softened a little.

“Where are you from? We’re from Huangqing!”

“Uh… well…”

In hindsight, I only gained my identity, but it was a very difficult question for me, who was close to a complete stranger.

The only information I know of is that I can get from Paradise Academy.

If you dig a little deeper, you can know the nationality, but you don’t know the detailed geographical name.

So I just said the name of the capital of the Eastern Federation. Because this place was mentioned several times in the work.

“I’m from Daedong.”

“Daedong…! You’re from the capital!!!”

Worrying about it, the two went on without any particular doubts. On the contrary, it even made my eyes twinkle at the fact that I came from the capital.

Judging from the reaction, it seems that Hwanggyeong is a rural area.

“By the way, did you two come here for training?”

“Yeah, yes. But I’m going to Inje. I’ve been doing it since early lunch.”

“Ah… I’m sorry.”

“Then, will the two of you start now?”

“Yeah, class just finished.”

Yoon So-young answers Camila’s question with a smile.

“Ah! Camilla-sama, did you choose Arthur as an undergraduate?”

“That’s right! Where are you two?”

“We are Arin.”

“Well, your archery was also very good.”

Taekwondo uniform and archery. this is really sloppy

However, if it was Arin, there was no way I could not have seen it even more. It was because Arin had the lowest number of students among the three faculties.

Even now, I was able to clearly remember who the main NPCs in the Arin Faculty were.

Among them, Kim Tae-hoon and Yoon So-young from the Eastern Federation are not named.

Camila pulls my sleeve, as I’m trying to get lost in my thoughts, and I’m lost in thought. It was a signal to return.

Noticing her intention, she nodded, and Camilla clapped her hands to get her attention.

“Fish oil, did you take too much time? Let’s go now, Sanwoo.”

“Ah! Please enter carefully! You’ve worked hard.”

“You guys work hard too!”

When we see off with the brightest voices of the world, the two bow their heads politely.

By the time I got out of the gym without looking back and reached the warp gate.

Camilla spoke up first.

“But why did you say that before? You seemed a bit surprised. We don’t even know each other.”

In case anyone was not a master, his eyesight was a hundred dan. Camila’s eyes narrowed, immediately sensing something strange.

“I misunderstood. I thought it was someone I knew.”

“Hmm, is it because we’re from the same Eastern Federation?”

“yes.”

It was really a pity that I couldn’t give you a cool answer. Although it was a rough answer, Camilla didn’t ask any more.

“…well! You must have your own circumstances. Who among the people who entered Paradise School doesn’t have a plausible story?”

Soon after, a cool palm slapped his shoulder.

“Ah, follow me!!”

“Hey, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat!”

Camilla said with a bright smile.

* * *

After a light dinner around the gymnasium, I parted ways with Camilla.

As it was the weekend from tomorrow, there was no other schedule, but it was because my mind was complicated.

Tae-Hoon Kim and So-Young Yoon of Geum Kang-Moon.

The presence of the two continued to be stepped on.

“console.”

I checked the console again just in case. Maybe there was a bug that was not detected for some reason at the time.

[Paradise Patch ver.2.0]

[Number of bugs fixed so far: 46]

[Bug fix rate: 3.1%]

Searching…..

CLEAR!!

※There are some unused tracking points.

Tracking points you have: 1

—–

There was still nothing that could be inferred about the identities of the two NPCs, but a phrase that has never been seen in the console window catches the eye.

tracking point?

It was the first time that such a phrase was printed while fixing 46 bugs so far.

However, even if you scroll down further, there is no detailed explanation of the content.

Having points means that there is a place to invest, and investing points in the game is highly likely to be related to abilities.

If so, should I check the status window instead of the console window?

“Status window.”

just as expected.

There was a new menu called [Bug Tracking System] as a sub-item under the Paradise Patch menu.

—–

[Bug tracking system]

Holding Tracking Points: 1

※ Tracking points increase each time a certain fix rate is reached or a fatal bug is fixed.

[Fix log] ＞＞ Open

—–

Unlike the bug console that popped up without any explanation and the status window where you don’t know what you’re talking about, the ‘bug tracking system’ was kindly written with explanations as well.

‘If it’s a fatal bug… … You’re probably talking about the Missing Noh in the gymnasium.’

In fact, other than that, there is nothing to be suspicious of. It was obviously after that that the tracking point was newly created.

But the question is how to use these points.

If anything, do you have to modify the missing machine to add new functions and do something like that? There are only points now.

First of all, I had to check the item that was written as a fix log. When the open button was touched, the bugs that had been fixed so far appeared along with their own code.

—–

[Bugs found: 46]

[Sort by date] ＞＞ Change

… …

The bugs listed as of the 23rd of February are probably the bugs the Failed Wizard was hanging on at the pier of the beginning.

Upon checking the details of one of them, a description of the corresponding error is output.

Physics Engine Error CODE: 412G ▼

[Priority] High

[Severity] High

[Status] Corrected normally

[Explanation]

An error in the laws of physics due to a system crash of unknown cause. Occurs only in humanoid individuals classified as type A1. Unnatural joint movement when the object moves.

[Tracking Point Investment]

Retention Points: 1

While reading the description, I stopped at the last tracking point investment button.

When I press the button as if possessed, a guide message comes to mind.

[The invested points cannot be recovered. Do you really want to invest points to register the bug as an ability?]

Now I felt like I knew how to use this suddenly created function.

“In short, you can invest points to use certain bugs like skills.”

For example, if you invest points in money copying or invincible bugs, you will have the ability to the extent that what you have endured until now is meaningless.

Literally cheat.

Now, with the appearance of a function that can be called an ability-like ability, my heart began to pound.

‘Then, wouldn’t there be a secret about Kim Tae-hoon and Yoon So-young? Maybe I can use the bugs tied to the two of them.’

So I scrolled down and checked the bug with the most recent date.

However, the item in question was written differently from what I had expected.

System Missing CODE: 028 ▼

[Priority] ????

[Severity] ????

[Status] Implementation complete

[Explanation]

Dummy data is implemented normally. Information related to the dummy data is applied.

[Patch Note]

Hidden Street: Key’s gymnasium is complete.

A new companion has been added.

A new quest has been added.

A new item has been added.

Missingno is written as a system ‘missing’ rather than a system error.

And unlike general bug descriptions, the patch notes written at first look like new NPCs or maps being added to the online game, right?

Above all, the fact that the dance hall for the keys has been completed overlaps with the phrase that appeared on the screen just before being dragged into Paradise Academia.

-Fixed all the bugs in the game, so you can’t go back until you finish the game!

The reason why only one bug was fixed among the numerous bugs that were printed at the time of witnessing the missing machine.

The reason why the bug fixing rate, which had gone up slightly, definitely rose to 3% as soon as the missing machine was fixed.

And the reason why Kim Tae-hoon and Yoon So-young, who were nothing more than dummy data, appeared.

As the puzzles were put together one by one, I tapped my forehead with the palm of my hand.

“… did you mean this to complete Paradise Academia?”
