Episode 88. Allrounder (5)
“What, what are you going to do?”
“… … !”
The reaction of the seniors was really cute.
“Don’t you know that maintaining a combat readiness like that is a waste of mana?”
First of all, it was necessary to point out this point.
“You think we don’t know that? You, it’s because of you.”
“Why me?”
“I’m afraid I’ll be brainwashed by you… … .”
“You judge people only by hearing rumors.”
Senior Sosim shook his head and replied.
“no. I heard it firsthand from a close friend of mine. Because I said that I had met you in person before. Your friend saw you and said you were the enemy of women and shuddered.”
Indeed, it was not simply believing in rumors and being vigilant. If you have a connection with me in the past, it would be better to be a little more careful.
“Has that friend ever been harmed because of me?”
“I-I don’t think there was anything like that… … .”
“okay. Then timid senior put it on hold for a while. What about that taciturn senior? Don’t you believe me?”
The taciturn senior quietly lowered his gaze.
Is there no answer this time either?
Swoop.
At that time, I could see the readiness for battle that I felt from my taciturn senior was waning.
“If you believe in yourself, can you pass this exam well?”
It was the first time she spoke.
“I will show you what talents are recognized by the granddaughter of the president of a large company.”
If my infamy gets in the way, I can borrow the value of the name of my network. If you have a personal relationship, where would you use it? Seolchaehwa also owes me something, so I won’t say anything about selling her name like this.
“okay. I’ll believe it. At least you are someone who knows how to have a conversation unlike the seniors earlier.”
I was just wondering why it came out smoothly. Hey, the leader sunbae from a while ago was overconfident in his skills and was too selfish.
‘In addition.’
The effect of the ‘Pondless Pheromone’ applied from the moment he released his combat readiness should also be subdued.
I looked at the timid senior.
“senior. I understand your concern. Even if I were like you, I would be nervous if you told me to leave my back to someone who manipulates people’s minds.”
“… … .”
“But what kind of mindset did you have for this exam, senior? Do you think it would be nice to just be selected as the Meteor Shower national team? Or that it would be all right if I had something to fill in on my résumé?”
“I, I didn’t participate in the preliminary exam with such a light mind… !”
good night. With that kind of will, I can finally bring this story out.
“Then I promise you one thing. Even to the taciturn senior over there.”
“huh?”
“… … ?”
If you’re going to do it, sure. Let’s point it out to everyone and move on.
“After this exam, I will never have to talk to my seniors again. Even if the seniors come to you first, they will refuse to meet you.”
“What are you talking about… ?”
“If that’s the case, then I’m trying to make a fuss after brainwashing my seniors. You can block such behavior from the source. Does everyone have a cell phone? Tell your friends right now. If he makes the move to meet me, ask him to stop instead. Aren’t you sure then?”
“… … .”
If you nailed it so clearly, everyone would have nothing to say.
The timid senior and the taciturn senior stared at each other for a while.
“I don’t want to bother you. Just show what you deserve as a leader. Then you can.”
The taciturn senior expressed his consent first.
All that was left was timid seniors.
“energy… I hope you don’t feel bad. really. Because I really don’t know… … .”
“yes yes. I don’t care. Rather, please. If you say anything later, I’ll be in trouble.”
Senior Sosim called some acquaintances through his cell phone, and only after asking for what I asked him to do, he let go of his combat readiness.
this is true Only after doing this can you stand on the starting line. This is why image management is so important to people.
“great. Then let’s move on to the next step.”
Whatever.
From now on, I will show you what a real leader looks like.
***
I looked at the two seniors and said.
“Before resuming the dungeon raid, I’ll check it again and go in.”
“Inspection?”
“You seem to know all about my ability. I don’t know exactly what your nature is.”
While the leader was leading, I couldn’t properly check the performance of these two tank seniors.
“I’ll talk first.”
Unexpectedly, the taciturn senior spoke first.
“yes. Please speak.”
“Basically, you should have seen it before.”
She lifted her arms bent at right angles.

Jiing!
With a mysterious sound, a shield of light formed on her arm. Rather than feeling like holding it in the palm of your hand, it was a type of shield that was worn on your forearm.
‘If I just carve an asterisk pattern on the side of that shield, it just feels like the American hero of Molvengers.’
I decided to ask my friend.
“Could it be that shield? Can I throw it?”
“It is connected to my body. It disappears as soon as it leaves the body.”
“hmm. What about other features? Is it the answer to simply block it with that?”
“All the shock transmitted to me through this shield is absorbed.”
Come to think of it.
When I got caught in a big structure trap earlier. It reminded me of the taciturn senior raising his shield alone and blocking it without a word of shaking.
“Can I try an experiment with my own hands? Would you like to hold a shield and block it?”
“okay.”
When the taciturn senior raised his shield, I lightly swung my fist.
Goo Woong.
“oh?”
It was as she said.
No matter how much force I tried, even if I pushed gently, it wouldn’t budge. I wondered if it really absorbs all shocks, so I rammed my body into the side of the shield this time.
‘You really don’t even budge? It’s like crashing into a huge wall.’
This wasn’t just shocking.
as proof.
“What is it doing?”
“I’m trying to figure out how to block an attack.”
I picked up the tip of the shield with my hand and rocked it back and forth, but the shield still didn’t shake at all. Looking at the taciturn senior’s arm, he didn’t even see the slightest movement. It didn’t even feel like it gave me strength.
‘Can’t the momentum itself be applied at all?’
I asked again and again.
“This shield. Is there such a thing as durability?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never tested it to the limit. To begin with, I’m not a person who likes extreme things.”
“When blocking with a shield, the power drains from the body. What about symptoms like headaches?”
“I don’t have that feeling.”
It’s not a structure that uses mana in exchange for absorbing momentum. If this is the case, there is a high probability that the screw is missing. Because in the Psychic Age, the power of nature with certain mastery was strong.
‘Among the natures I know, there is no such thing as a flawless nature.’
Where there are advantages, there are always disadvantages. It was the natural law of the Psychic Age, clearly described in the setting book.
“Let’s try one more experiment. Could you please lift your shield up a little?”
Saying that, I pulled out the Astrolabus and shot it lightly at the shield.
Kwajik.
The shield face was cracked.
‘It seemed like this.’
It was a shield that made all pure physical power zero, but was vulnerable to magical attacks.
“Um… .”
“Looking at the reaction, it seems like it was a secret I wanted to hide.”
“sorry. If possible, I wanted to appeal the advantages rather than the disadvantages.”
understood. Because this was the exam hall where the examiners evaluated.
“I have nothing to be sorry for. Rather, I’m sorry that I’ve exposed my shame. Still, it was a must-check process. That way, we can give instructions while considering the safety of our seniors.”
“Are you thinking of my safety? Isn’t it about efficiency?”
The taciturn senior looked at me with an unexpected gaze.
“Efficiency can only be measured once a person is alive.”
“This is a testing ground. Assistants will take care of safety.”
“I do everything in real life. You have to be sincere in everything so that when the important moment comes, you can do it as usual without being nervous.”
“I see.”
“yes. Anyway, safety comes first. Even if I give you instructions, if you feel it is dangerous based on your personal judgment, please use your own judgment.”
The taciturn senior avoided his gaze and scratched the side of his head.
“huh. okay.”
Next was senior Sosim.
‘All I’ve seen is this senior avoiding him all the time.’
This naturally reminds me of an evasive tank, but there was something ambiguous about that.
For an evasive tank, he doesn’t seem to move very quickly. If you want to have flexible movements, it’s not even that.
Looking at the struggle to escape earlier, the lines of movement overlap with the reticent senior. Rather, it was only the appearance of disturbing the battle lines.
“What kind of nature do you have, senior?”
“I am… . If you close your eyes tightly, you become completely invincible.”
“I don’t know, just from hearing about it.”
“Would you like to see it?”
Senior Sosim closes his eyes.
A moment of silence passed.
“Nothing has changed?”
“Take a hand on my body. Then you will know what I mean.”
“Are you okay? Would you like to put your hand on my shoulder?”
“Yes.”
I carefully put my hand on the timid senior’s shoulder. I was trying to put
“oh?”
An amazing thing happened. My hand went right through her body.
‘That’s why they said they were invincible.’
I wondered if I was invulnerable only to physical influence like the reticent senior, so I secretly showed my natural nature.
[The target is incorrect.]
Unbeknownst to me, my mouth opened slightly.
‘what? Physical power doesn’t work, and even the power of nature doesn’t work, right?’
that the target is not correct. It was the notification window that popped up whenever I tried to show off my nature in empty space.
“Wait. But this heaven. My hand goes through the senior’s body as it is… . Wouldn’t it be dangerous if the abilities were released while passing through like this?”
“That’s fine. Are you putting your hands on me right now?”
“yes.”
“Look carefully.”
Shuuk.
Right after Sosim-senpai told me to take a good look, my hand, which had been passed through her body, was forcibly pushed out. It was like the feeling when magnets of the same pole repel each other.
‘Certainly, being completely invincible is great, but… … .’
The penalty of having to close my eyes bothered me. What does it mean to be completely invincible when your vision is blocked?
“senior. Do you have any knack for estimating the position of an enemy with your eyes closed?”
“Oh, no?”
“Then, the moment you close your eyes to avoid the enemy’s attack, you must shudder, not knowing when to open your eyes again.”
“Actually, that’s why I didn’t use my abilities earlier… .”
I looked at the whip hanging from senior Sosim’s waist.
“A whip? I haven’t seen you use that either.”
“oh. I mean this… . It’s a weapon that I trained as an evasive tank and used for aggro. But I thought it would just be a hindrance… I didn’t write it on purpose.”
“If you know how to handle a whip, please use it from now on.”
Senior Sosim nodded.
If you are a sophomore, you are more likely to have worked hard for at least a year. At least you don’t have to worry about whip proficiency.
‘Anyway, this.’
The reticent senior and the timid senior are the same. There was a corner that was strangely lacking in the abilities he had. Is there any other way? If you don’t have enough, you should use it as you lack.
If the specs were perfect in the first place, the clever Jeong Gyu-min wouldn’t have organized it as my crew.
“Now that we know all the specs of our seniors, let’s start soon. Since you learned at Signal a year older than me, I don’t think you need to nag me.”
“That Monstrum was strong… . Can we defeat it with all our might? Even when the four of us jumped in, we couldn’t do anything. I just suffered one-sidedly… .”
Senior Sosim showed an attitude worthy of the title.
“It will be different if I become a leader. Please follow the order carefully.”
“I’ll look forward to it.”
The silent senior answered.
“Then let’s go.”
I made a circle gesture towards the examiner who was watching somewhere.
and.
Gee ying.
The sound of the model dungeon made with the Artifact technology operating again was heard. Smiledilo, which had disappeared before my eyes, reappeared.
“First, senior timid, please step forward.”
“uh? Me, from me?”
“Stimulate Smiledilo with the whip. When he rolls his body and rushes, he jumps in the air once and then rushes? It will be convenient to measure the angle of avoidance with that.”
Currently, our group consists of 2 tanks and 1 dealer position. Even the first dealer is a dealer whose firepower is ambiguous in many ways to be a professional dealer.
‘Just as there is no flawless nature, there is also no flawless Monstrum.’
I observed Smiledilo.
It has overwhelming defense and decent evasion. In particular, the movement of standing still and quickly rolling up to hide inside the upper could be said to be almost at the speed of light.
As for how fast this is, it’s almost impossible with the speed of my magic bullet.
Caang!
Showshock!
The moment I try to trigger the Astrolabos because it seems to be careless, it hides inside the upper at a speed like a ghost. No matter how much I increased the bullet speed, it was the same.
One of my rival guys to shoot faster than Smiledilo’s hide-in action. It would be impossible unless he was at the level of Kwon Young-tae, who used a sniper rifle.
‘In the first place, if it was that guy, I could just crush it completely.’
That’s why his name came out in the announcement of passing the test earlier.
It will take charging time, but is that a logarithm? Will the members of the guys tap-dance next to you?
You don’t have to do anything complicated, just tell Jo Won to tie Smile Deal’s feet, and you’re done. After that, just pulling the trigger like eating cake would have sweetly cleared it.
‘I can’t break it ignorantly like Kwon Young-tae, but.’
The best weapon to make up for the lack of firepower for me. There was a strong know-how called the original knowledge of Psychic Age.
“That was enough. It looks like you’re having a hard time breathing, but you’re invincible for a while! The taciturn senior can switch!”
At my words, the taciturn senior who had been observing the situation three steps behind deployed his shield and jumped in.
Smile Dilo has the power to ignore defense, evasion, and even headbutting attacks. In a way, it seems that the three elements are evenly equipped, but there is a fatal flaw hidden here.
‘It’s a weakness that anyone who’s played RPG games will notice.’
From nob le mt l. com
Just endurance.
These kinds of guys are likely to be short-lived and tire quickly. In the case of Smile Deal, it was possible to check the remaining stamina through the rolling power.
‘It’s hard right now because it’s spinning so fast, but it’ll slow down as you get tired.’
Then comes something worth doing.
Smile Dilo is not about completely covering the entire body with uppers. All she did was curl her body up so that her vulnerable belly was not exposed.
‘There’s a bit of a gap.’
I was planning to take advantage of that gap and insert a magic bullet into it.
“That’s Okay. Senior Sosim is now safe, so open your eyes and fall back! And the taciturn senior! He’ll come rushing in soon!”
“I am ready.”
“no! It’s hard to block it as it is! He’ll take one slam to the ground before charging in and bounce back! At that moment, it will run in reverse, so block it as if you were slamming your shield down!”
Smile Dilo usually rolls in forward rotation, but reverse rotation right before charging.
In this case, the tanker holding the shield tries to block it, but the counter-rotation causes a guard breaking. The so-called shield is lifted up to the sky, leaving you defenseless.
‘This counter-spinning attack is imbued with magic, so the silent senior’s shield trait won’t work.’
Smile Dilo has the characteristic of being very tired every time it tries to attack. Earlier, senior Sosim ran around and lost a lot of stamina, so the opportunity will come soon.
“Haap.”
cooong!
Kwiyiyi profit!
The taciturn senior let out a weak spirit and blocked it as if he was slamming his shield down. Smiledilo screamed and hurriedly rolled back and ran away.
It was a chance.
While I was ordering, I aimed straight at Astrolabus, which had been fully charged.
[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]
[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]
The first and second abilities of Mental Acceleration were activated at the same time.
I could see the guy’s movement in the slowed down time.
‘no. This is not enough.’
Even in this slow-motion world, Smiledilo still rolled fast.
I had to pass the magic bullet at the right timing through the gap the size of a pinky finger in the spinning body.
because it was
[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]
more.
[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]
slower.
[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]
even slower.
and.
‘It stopped.’
The world has stopped.
did this happen?
No way.
‘I wonder if it’ll work if I stop the same way.’
But nothing to worry about. Because I have one more weapon.
[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]
Breaking down the limits that my brain placed on my body, all the magical energy in my body was focused on one point to realize impossible movements.
In a world where everything stands still. To perform only one action.
‘now!’
this very moment.
My index finger was the only one in the world allowed to move.
