There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 19

8. The Alchemist of the Basalt Forest (1)

“sorry.”

“No, it’s okay!”

After all the make-up classes are over, the four-week gymnasium.

I told Camilla Lilly the whole series of events.

But contrary to what I thought it might be a little awkward, she shrugged lightly as if she didn’t care.

“Because I instinctively came out, it means that I taught that well. And there is no big problem.

“Does it really matter? But then why did you tell me not to show it to you?”

Camila turned her gaze to my question as if in trouble.

“That’s right…. Our shogunate is the largest clan in the Levant Kingdom, so I heard that some of the collaborators tend to think a little… badly about me.”

I already knew about Camilla’s family situation, but I didn’t plan to go out of my way.

“Yeah? Why do you think it’s bad?”

“It’s still not enough for the next head of the family. They say it’s unfair to be the head of another branch just because you’re direct.”

“No, in the first place, direct lineage literally means directly inheriting the lineage of the parent family. Why do you not want to admit it?”

Camila smiled bitterly as she deliberately displayed a slightly exaggerated emotion.

“Honestly, there are many people who are better than me. Among the seniors who are already attending Nakwon School, there are people who come from a branch, and many have graduated.”

The Hwagwon-ryu is set as a sect with a long history and huge enough to show off its dances on all continents beyond her nationality, the Levant Kingdom.

The ‘typical’ repertoire is that the head of a clan that has produced many large and large figures regardless of direct or collateral cannot be entrusted to Camila, who has not yet graduated from Paradise School.

“No matter how direct I am, I cannot deprive others of opportunities.”

“There is still a tradition…”

“I cannot become the head of the family according to tradition.”

ah!

Her words reminded me of a setting I had forgotten about for a while.

‘Isn’t it a representative claim of the anti-Camilla faction that the current head of the family has only one daughter? I mean, there has never been a female head of the family.’

From a modern point of view, it was a very savvy and old-fashioned setting, but it seemed to be quite common in this world.

Well, the throne is right in front of you, so why can’t you bring it?

It is also funny to ask for a cause or common sense from the human scum who later insisted on the assassination of the current head of the family, and even plan to kidnap and kill Camilla.

“Anyway, I just told you not to use firearms because I thought it might provoke them.”

Hmmm.

I coughed once more, then bowed my head to Camilla again.

“I’m really sorry.”

“No! It’s okay~. And he said he didn’t even say that he learned from me in the first place. It’s about samta, because if you’re a talented person, you can learn it quickly!”

Camilla clapped her hands and smiled.

Originally, she had sharp eyes, but when she smiles like that, she often turns into the prettiest girl in the world.

Even before becoming a Baeksan-woo, I had no contact with women, so the appearance of Camila was somehow unfamiliar.

I scratched my cheek, which started to burn a little, and moved the topic.

“It didn’t seem like Bernax-senpai was just going to be flirting.”

“Then I’m glad.”

The motives for the fuss and fuss were also a problem, but I didn’t seem to realize that the technique I used was the firefighting style.

You don’t need to worry too much.

“So, are you going to skip the training today?”

“No, I don’t think so? You should learn what you’ve already started until the end.”

After all, I’m not attracted to anyone for being bold.

“Oh, wait a minute… Come to think of it, you’ve only taught me up until now? Then let’s just let you teach me today.”

“Huh? What??”

“What is it, your swordsmanship?”

what?

I had no idea what to do.

“Isn’t that something you can learn right away? I have to be prepared to some extent like you.”

“That, um… that’s right.”

Although the glitching technique is called a ‘technique’, it is an act of digging into a loophole in the game, so there is no need to prepare separately.

But it just seemed a little mean to throw it away like that.

That’s right… … .

I quickly worked my brain to full power and came up with a plausible curriculum.

Since today is the first day, you won’t have to start training right away.

It’s a one-man tradition, so I’ll add the excuse that I need to prepare a lot before starting this class.

First of all, it is necessary to change Camila’s understanding as a form of swordsmanship.

“Yeah, okay. So today I’m the one-day master?”

“Thank you, Master!”

Camila said, “Chuck,” and put her fists together to show her disciple’s respect.

“I’m just letting you know as well. Use it only in case of an emergency.”

“yes!!”

Camilla shook her head vigorously. She seemed very excited.

Is it a series of expectations for new teachings?

Unfortunately, my skills aren’t that grand. It’s just cheating to make it look ‘big’.

“First of all, all I teach is to radiate qi from the heart.”

“Yeah, yeah!!”

“I call this the human error.”

“Hey, Inrio Ryu! Something cool!! Is it a one-man succession?”

I plausibly put together the words I had heard somewhere, but when I saw the admiration, it seemed like a pretty good naming sense.

Then you’re safe.

“Okay, then let’s start with the breathing technique. This is called total concentration breathing…”

That’s how the rare scam lecture began.

* * *

a few days after that.

Despite the really stupid teachings, Camilla was following along. Now I was feeling guilty.

No, but if you think about it, you end up using the glitching technique.

Then maybe there’s no need to be sorry?

Well, second of all.

Camilla was steadily passing on her skills.

3 white lotus, 4 plum blossoms, 5 enemy country.

Except for the remaining chapters 6 and 7, all the skills available in the game were acquired.

It’s not enough to use all the skills freely, but if you practice consistently, you’ll be able to use it as your main skill in the future.

And I’m working on matching up with Camilla, and researching how to apply it to swordsmanship.

In Paradise Academia, the main character, Aidan, literally slaughters the boss with all kinds of skills, not just firearms.

It’s not like there’s a ‘Dilppong’ training method that uses only destructive magic to the limit without any other route and hits the boss with a dill.

But for me, I couldn’t do that, so I had to use 100% of the unique skill, Fire Kwon Ryu, somehow.

Even if there is a tracking point, there were only 7 bugs that were discovered and fixed in the last few days.

[Number of bugs fixed: 53]

[Bug fix rate: 3.1%]

It rose only 0.1%. level is meaningless.

I didn’t even find any useful bugs.

It was just a meaningless script bug, or a physics engine bug, such as a broom that had been placed on the wall uncontrollably.

Because of this, my abilities were already reaching their limits.

The reason I was able to face Bernax in the last Dalian was not because I had grown that much, but because I wore the tears of a hero.

Even that would not have been enough if it had been a sincere duel rather than a ‘mock match’.

In the end, the conclusion was simple.

Item, I need more items.

In order to amplify Hudaly’s ability!

“Huh…! That’s it!”

“You’ve come in very deep.”

So now I was walking around the basalt forest with Camilla.

It was to carry out the quest to obtain 『Aaron’s Gold Ring』 that I had been watching for a long time.

The content of the quest is simple.

All you have to do is bring 3 ‘Black Blood Herbs’ that can be collected in Hyeonmu Forest to the herbalist who runs a small potion shop in the northern part of Nosteria.

It is the setting that his wife is seriously ill and cannot be cured without black blood vinegar.

In fact, this quest itself was quite worthwhile even without Aaron’s gold ring.

This was because the herbalist NPC who gave the quest was an alchemist, so upon completion of the quest, the favorability increased greatly, and various potions could be purchased cheaply.

But will you give me Aaron’s gold ring?

There’s no reason to give up on the one stone two group benefit. Of course, he promised Camila a reasonable compensation.

“Wow, but it’s really dark. There’s hardly any sunlight.”

It got dark as they entered a little deeper, for fear that someone might not be in a forest that is famous for its deep and dense spiritual veins.

Although the air is clear, it is not a very pleasant place to be strangely cold and gloomy.

“I think we should start here.”

I approached Camilla, who looked around, checking the map.

“Um, I said that it mainly lives at the root of trees that are over 100 years old…? But how do you know that trees are over 100 years old?”

“Wait a minute on that.”

True to its name, Heukhyeol (黑血), Heukhyeolcho was a medicinal herb that produced dark red blood-colored flowers.

In other words, it is basically a dull color, so it is difficult to find it in a basalt forest where it is dark 24 hours a day.

So I’d say the basic 150 Kelina per piece on the topic of medicinal herbs.

Considering that the shield used at the forgotten hero’s resting place last time was 40 Kelly, you can’t get a sense of how expensive it is.

In the first place, even the potions that can be made based on black blood vinegar have only the best performance.

but who am i

He is the one who has won Aaron’s gold ring dozens of times. As with all quests, you can lower the difficulty if you know how.

“Take a look around here. You don’t have to pick up a tree that is over 100 years old and find it. Why don’t you just look around a tree that is moderately tall?”

“Okay, but you?”

“I’ll have to find it too. To go a little deeper.”

“Don’t go too far. You know that if you get lost, you won’t be able to find it, right?”

“Of course.”

I asked Camilla to search the neighborhood, and I moved slowly.

By default, the area where Black Blood is spawned is random.

It is purely an in-game setting that they mainly inhabit the stumps of trees that are over 100 years old, and in reality, they can be found not only at the base of trees, but also in various places that do not receive much sunlight.

It’s just that most of the cases were under a huge tree that had grown for more than 100 years in a place that didn’t get enough sunlight, so it’s not really wrong.

However, there is only one place in Hyunmu Forest.

There is a place where a large number of black blood plants are definitely in bloom.

“Probably like this.”

How far would you have walked? Even compared to other trees, an overwhelmingly huge old tree appeared in front of me.

It is so large that it can be called a world tree that appears frequently in general fantasy.

Even if you keep your neck up all the way, you can’t see the end.

I circled around the tree, and was able to find a hollow in the middle of the tree.

It’s just big enough for one person to squeeze in.

‘Here you go.’

Is it because you’ve been training lately? As I crumpled my body with a whimper, the beautiful blue glowing moss lit up my vision.

A cavity as huge as a tree. Among them, the only open space of a few pyeong or less.

The sunlight dimmed by the thick leaves. The soft light embraced the cluster of black blood plants that were in full bloom in a small space.

A beautiful sight that only exclaims.

“ah…….”

But I guess I wasn’t the only one who knew this place.

I shift my gaze to the pretense of popularity that I suddenly feel.

A woman who I don’t know since when was standing blankly looking at me.

“Who’s there…?”

Uh, um… … .

Who is that?
