There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 7

3. Opening Ceremony (1)

“Hmm, I guess I was right.”

[The bug has been fixed.]

[Fixed bugs: 1]

[Bug fix rate: 0.8%]

When I brought my green, flickering right hand to the box, the box of apples in question disappeared with the effect of distorting the space.

I could tell for sure with this.

‘Just because you see a bug, you don’t have to fix it right away. It is said that it can be used within a certain amount of use.’

Seeing that it is corrected normally even after eating almost half of the apples, it seems that the utility is surprisingly high.

I’m not sure what conditions can artificially cause a copy bug.

If you find out the conditions for triggering the bug and then apply the bug to jewelry or other expensive items, you may be able to live a more luxurious life than you think.

It’s not like a box of apples or something, but maybe that’s a real FLEX.

Money will be copied!!!!

Also, the bug-fixing rate, which was only 0.1% at the beginning, was quite high at 0.8% because of the various bugs fixed around the island in the past few days.

With this momentum, there was also hope that bugs that occurred in the field itself could be fixed fairly quickly, except for bugs that occurred as the main story progressed.

‘Do it. You can do it!’

I left the dormitory with a light footstep, envisioning a happy future.

Because today was also the long-awaited first day of the academy.

As I went down the stairs, I ran into Camilla, who was organizing her clothes with a full-length mirror placed in the lobby of the dormitory.

“good morning.”

“Good morning! You seem to have woken up early because it’s the opening ceremony? Let’s go together. Are you ready?”

When I said hello, Camilla responded with a bright smile.

From the moment she first broke into my room, I developed a pretty close relationship with Camila.

We live next door, we’re the same age (by setting), and we’re the same at school as Arthur, so there’s no reason not to be friends.

Knowing everything about her, I could be sure that Camila would never harm me.

But still, women’s uniforms are prettier than men’s. Is this common to all faculties?

Even in the original game, female clothes were always pretty. In the original work, he was more focused on matching the clothes of his colleagues rather than Aidan.

In fact, as long as the playable character was fixed as male Aidan, it was entirely the female colleagues’ responsibility.

As I stared intently at Camilla, she tilted her head.

“what are you doing?”

“It goes well with school uniforms. It’s pretty.”

“Uh…, you, you too! Is it because you’re a little oversized? The uniform suits you just right.”

I just spit out what I thought, but somehow the atmosphere got a little weird.

“……”

“……”

“Shall we go soon?”

“Uh, uh…”

did I just say Obviously, it was nothing until a while ago, but I became a little conscious. Camilla, too, thought the awkwardly twisted atmosphere was very frustrating, so she brought up another topic.

“But after the start of school, I heard that I don’t wear school uniforms often.”

“That’s right. That too passes.”

During the semester at Paradise Academia, there are only two types of clothing allowed for the warrior candidates.

school uniforms and training clothes.

Depending on the department, there are cases where a lab coat or another outfit is added, but in general, you have to wear a school uniform or training uniform.

However, in the case of Arthur’s Faculty, training uniforms were overwhelmingly common.

Basically, it is a faculty that deals with melee weapons such as spears. Given the nature of most classes taking place at the training ground, it was natural to prefer training clothes over school uniforms.

And that’s partly because the training uniform is so versatile.

“It would definitely be easier to move than this.”

“Of course.”

A training suit is a plain tunic with black water.

Even if Arthur’s school uniform is the most functional among school uniforms, the hardened leather itself is quite heavy and stiff, so it goes without saying that training uniforms with no decorations other than the clothes themselves are overwhelmingly comfortable.

“Still, it’s a little different if you wear training clothes from the first day. The professors tell you about the day you wear training clothes.”

“Why don’t you just take one.”

You should now have a Paradise card. It was good to have a few sets of training clothes.

In the original game, the durability of the training clothes was the fastest.

Unless you put a lot of importance on the look and feel, training clothes are enough for the main character’s general class equipment.

After talking like that, we were able to get out of the House of Representatives dormitory and arrive at the Warp Gate installed in the 9th Street Central Plaza.

Paradise Island, the setting for Paradise Academia, is a huge island in itself, so warp gates are installed in most areas.

It was almost an hour’s drive from the North Terrier, where Arthur’s Faculty is located, to West Terrier 9th Street, where my dormitory is located.

Without a warp gate, normal commuting to and from school is impossible.

But apart from that, the warp gate itself was very strange. As a game player, the gate was just a convenient means of transportation, but when you see it with your own eyes, the feeling is quite different.

By carefully observing the other students entering the warp gate, I was able to roughly figure out how to use it.

“Hey, can this just go inside?”

“Yeah, maybe.”

Perhaps Camilla is also unfamiliar with the gate, and she mumbles in front of the gate.

“Go quickly. What are you doing?”

“Because of family tradition, I can’t enter places with strong magical energy first. So you go first.”

“Why is the only girl of the world’s firearms rushing like this. You can just say that you’re afraid to go first.”

“Oh, no…”

I pushed her back to the end and went in together, shouting the Warpgate’s command as I had seen before.

“Aww!!”

“Go, Nosteria North Square.”

Suddenly, a blue flash of light wraps around her body. When I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them, a panoramic view of the northern square of Nosteria unfolded.

The atmosphere was different from the streets of 9th Street, which can be seen as a downtown area. Clear, cool, fresh natural atmosphere.

In line with the setting of the alpine area, the Arthur Faculty building is also visible on the middle of a high mountain.

“That’s Arthur…”

A huge medieval stone building carved out of solid granite. As there were facilities that looked like fortresses everywhere, it was more like a fortress than a school.

Compared to other faculties, the Arthur Faculty’s buildings are quite crude. It was a gray castle made of only stones and bricks.

But on the contrary, it looked much more beautiful with the green mountains on either side of it.

Camilla also seemed overwhelmed by the majesty. With her mouth wide open, she couldn’t take her eyes off the huge fortress that stood tall.

“It’s really big.”

“In reality, it would be bigger? It’s like this even from a distance.”

I looked back on my memories of the first time I entered Arthur’s Faculty in the game.

It was just a simple graphic, but I felt a shiver run through my body the moment I showed the entire Arthur Faculty through cutscenes along with the magnificent background music.

“I’ll pass by for a moment.”

“Ah yes.”

While I was drenched in rain, I heard someone’s voice from behind.

were you blocking the way? As I sneak out of the way, a huge man walks past me.

He was tall enough to be over 2m tall, with golden eyes shining like jewels. The shiny copper skin looks very healthy along with the dark hair.

However, the thing that stood out the most was the cat ears and long tail that did not match its size.

I was able to remember the guy’s face at once.

Beast Race Tarkan.

Among them, Byron, the best black panther beast.

‘right. There was that guy in Arthur’s Faculty.’

All people and races from all continents gather on Paradise Island.

Among them are ‘Artel’, a mysterious race that lives with the spirits of the forest, and the Tarkans, who live a nomadic life in the vast eastern highlands and deserts.

Simply put, they are elves and beasts.

“Wow, Tarkan. First time seeing me.”

“me too.”

Since they are a race that boasts terrifying physical abilities and melee combat abilities in the game, they were also excellent combat agents who could be used anytime and anywhere if they made a small favorability in advance.

Why, isn’t there such a thing?

No matter who you choose, do you feel like you’re hitting a flat beat?

However, only that Byron is treated as another level.

No NPC in Paradise Academia has a higher melee combat ability than Byron.

Unless you invest all your proficiency in Arthur’s Faculty alone, from the end of the game, you will have a status that easily surpasses even the main character’s character, a so-called ‘fraud character’.

The moment you take Byron as your companion, the difficulty of all dungeons will drop dramatically. It’s a mob, a boss, and you can destroy it all by yourself.

Even in a speedrun competition where all kinds of dead people show off their skills, if Byron was recruited as a teammate, it would be considered disqualification.

But I’m not a speed run person, and I’m not the type of person who struggles with buying an easy way.

Byron, how did you get rid of this solid soup-like friend?

“I should be friendly.”

“Huh? Who? That Tarkan?”

“uh.”

I said looking at Byron’s back as he moved away.

“This year, as always, a lot of outstanding candidates have gathered!”

Arthur Faculty’s entrance ceremony.

‘Irkan Bradamante’, who is the dean of Arthur’s Faculty, looked at the gathered students and shouted.

As he descended from Arthur Bradamante, one of the first warriors who founded Paradise School, he was very interested in this school year, one of the strongest on the continent.

The ‘Romantic Ravistan’, a disciple taught by Wandering Swordsman Kemil himself.

At a young age, a prodigy, Seon-Yul Lee, was dispatched from the Training Book, the most outstanding educational institution in the Eastern Federation.

‘Camila Lily’, a direct descendant of the Hwagwon-ryu and the only blood relative of the current 16th head of the family.

And there was also ‘Byron’ the Black Panther, the most anticipated person among such prominent people.

There were so many Tarkans who stood out every year, but Byron was the most famous among them.

‘It seems that only this time will those who have the qualifications of true warriors appear. It’s a good feeling.’

In fact, other than the ones mentioned above, they are talented people who are asked to come out on the continent as long as they enter Paradise School.

Irkan Bradamante really liked the fact that they all had poison and fighting spirit in their eyes.

“As you know, the Arthur Faculty of Paradise School is a place that pursues the path by upholding the beliefs of the warrior Arthur Bradamante, who eventually achieved victory against the demonic beasts of the demon king that swept the entire continent 300 years ago.”

He spoke quietly, but none of the students took their eyes off the dean.

A voice and charisma that overwhelms the crowd.

“But that’s why it’s not that easy! Candidates must have heard of it at least once. Arthur’s education policy. Can you tell me what it is?”

The students all shouted at his question.

“The strong one wins!”

The enthusiasm of the candidates who had just entered the school was soaring. A will mixed with shouts and a longing for strength that boils deep in your heart.

It was always new, and it was a very creepy sight.

Irkan Bradamante continued to speak, enjoying the youthful energy that hit his body.

“So, the dean is trying to understand the skills of the candidates and to provide an educational curriculum that suits them…”

As he snapped his fingers, the ceiling of the training ground disappeared and the intense sunlight began to shine.

“From now on, we will start a random match. That’s all for today’s academic schedule. According to the results of this match, candidates will be assigned to classes appropriate to their abilities from tomorrow and continue their classes.”

The students’ reactions to the dean’s words varied.

There were those who were bewildered because they did not know the English language, those who were excited and raised their fists and smiled, and there were those who stood still without much reaction.

“The match is one-on-one, divided into a total of 10 teams and proceeds according to the instructor’s instructions. I wish everyone the best of luck.”

After saying those words, Irkan smiled brightly as he sat down on a bench in the spectator’s seat on one side of the training ground.

“Let’s see where the kittens or the tiger cubs are.”
