Chapter 115. dead person (2)
Yuri’s greedy eyes turned to Peter.
“Oh, one more question.”
“What.”
“If there is a tie, how will rankings be handled?”
“Process according to internal regulations.”
“… It’s an internal rule.”
Seeing Yuri slowly repeating what he had said, Peter yawned and waved his hands.
“Hey, do you have anything more to ask? Then, when you’re done with your business, go see it. I’m going to spend my time on my own.”
Peter’s face became even more dazed than before.
He walked over to his chair and pressed his butt.
Then I immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that, Yuri and Thearesia left the simple building without saying anything.
The two of them were so far away from the kiosk, also known as the Ranking Office.
Yuri asked while chinning towards the simple building.
“Who is that person?”
“Peter Lehman, the person who manages the agency breakthrough quest site here.”
“Is it the Black Swordsman?”
“maybe? But from the time I came, and ever since then, I’ve been here as a caretaker.”
“no way… Didn’t you get cut from the Black Swordsman for sleeping too much at any time?”
“There were rumors that it would be so.”
“also… … .”
All of the black sword soldiers Yuri had seen so far had a strong impression, befitting the name Black Sword.
On the other hand, Peter was too fierce.
but… … .
‘The appearance of reacting to a word of preparation for battle was without a doubt the Black Swordsman.’
Yuri recalled the image of Peter, who had just woken up and had strong energy.
How many repetitions of training and combat did he react to that word even in his sleep?
Thinking about that, it was clear that that fierce-looking Peter was also a Black Swordsman.
And when Yuri was thinking about Peter that way.
“I don’t think I can help you anymore.”
I heard voices like that.
When Yuri looked at Thearesia, she said with a slight smile.
“You’re not going to ask me about the 7-star cave, are you?”
“No way.”
“Can you give me any related information?”
“Honestly, I’m pulling a little… it’s okay.”
Yuri sighed and waved his hand.
No matter how much she wanted to be number one, she didn’t want to ask Thearesia for information about the 7-Star Cave.
Of course, it was clear that the information would make things easier.
but… … .
‘That hurts my pride a little.’
Even if Yuri had no backbone, that wasn’t the case.
What Günter Ryder did.
And he didn’t think that he couldn’t do what Thearesia did.
Yuri refused to listen to the information this time, even for the sense of achievement and self-esteem she would enjoy later.
Then, as he looked at Thearesia, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“By the way.”
“… … ?”
“Why are you so nice to me?”
“… what?”
“Looking at it, Tessha-senpai doesn’t seem to have any particular reason to come to this quest site, right?”
Thearesia, who already holds the record of 2nd place with 7 stars as well as 2 stars.
Even though they didn’t win first place, there seemed to be no reason to come back to this quest site even if it was that much.
‘But why did you bring me here and kindly explain it to me?’
Isn’t that kind enough to be a bit excessive?
look even now
At first, he asked me to go with him because he had some business to do at this quest, and now he was ready to go back.
“Why are you so kind today?”
Yuri looked at herself suspiciously, and Thearesia gave a brief reply.
“just.”
After that, Thearesia immediately stepped back.
Just as she is about to leave
“Oh right. Tessha senior.”
Yuri grabbed Thearesia again.
“I forgot to ask earlier.”
“What else is this time?”
Thearesia, her brow slightly twisted as if she was annoyed.
However, that brow was straightened by Yuri’s story that followed.
“I’m sure Gunter Ryder is 18 years old, but didn’t Tessa-senpai say he was two years younger than him?”
“… … .”
“So you’re sixteen?”
“… … .”
“Hey, Tessha-senpai… Did you come to the cradle quickly? I am sixteen too.”
Seeing Yuri smirking while doing so, Thearesia turned around in a swish.
Then, as if running away at a quick pace, wouldn’t it be a way to get out of the spot?
Yuri giggled at Thearesia’s back as she walked away.
His face quickly turned into an expressionless expression.
‘Okay, until we break the record… It’s an infinite challenge!’
Like flying glass, I ran in the direction of the cliff.
* * *
widely-!
Yuri’s hand jumped out of the cave and pressed the stop button on the watch.
zuggeuk-.
Yuri, who had slipped on the floor, raised her head to check the time.
“18 seconds.”
This is already the third challenge.
As a result, the first record of 19 seconds was reduced to 18 seconds.
and that moment.
Sreuk – Tak!
A piece of paper with a score will come out.
Yuri’s expression hardened after confirming this.
“188 points?”
It was strange.
It was strange, but it was too strange.
‘The score is the same as the first challenge?’
In the second challenge, Yuri received 189 points.
The time record at that time was 18 seconds.
But the time is the same as that time, so why do I not get more points?
Yuri rubbed her chin with a serious face.
‘I also have to figure out the scoring system.’
Only then will you be able to pave the way to your final goal.
Yuri recalled what Peter had said.
‘I said that tied players will be dealt with according to internal regulations.’
It is not that they are put in a common ranking, but they are clearly handled according to internal regulations.
In fact, when looking at the leader board, there were cases where the rankings were tied even though they had the same score, and there were cases where the superiority and inferiority were divided.
This means that there is a clear standard for determining superiority and inferiority in the internal regulations mentioned by Peter.
Yuri thought that the criterion might be ‘time’.
And his final goal, it wasn’t just a simple 1st place.
First of all, go with the basics of 200 points.
Even if another perfect scorer comes after him, no one will ever surpass his record.
Achieving an overwhelming time record was Yuri’s ultimate goal at this point.
‘Well, I’ll have to get a perfect score before that.’
Woodeukwook-.
Yuri lightly turned her shoulder.
‘Anyway, enough time. Go until you figure out the standard.’
Then, Yuri pressed the watch’s action button.
snap-.
The button went in without anything getting caught.
And the clock didn’t work either.
At this, Yuri was slightly impressed.
“Is this again? Did you say that before?”
I tried to challenge right away so that the flow wouldn’t be interrupted, but I couldn’t help it because the clock didn’t work.
‘Well, there are many empty caves.’
After returning to the cave, Yuri moved to another cave.
That’s how Yuri’s infinite challenge continued.
Time passed quickly.
* * *
Day 2 of the institution breakthrough quest challenge.
Yuri visited all 20 2-star caves except for the red 7-star cave.
His average of 17 seconds, which gave him a sense of where and how the traps were triggered.
Also, within two days, Yuri somewhat figured out the scoring method.
‘Out of 200 points, 100 points are related to time, and the remaining 100 points are related to traps.’
The shorter the time taken.
The less traps you destroy, the better.
score was higher.
‘I’ll know for sure if I turn around a few more times.’
widely-.
Yuri pressed the watch again.
* * *
Day 3 of the institution breakthrough quest challenge.
While researching trap-related scores, Yuri noticed that once used organs go through maintenance for a certain period of time.
‘That’s why the clock didn’t work.’
Taking advantage of the clock not working, I sneaked into the cave and found that both pig nose-shaped entrances to the cave were closed.
After that, the clock worked again, and when he went in, he found that the trap he had broken had been fixed.
In addition, the more severely damaged the trap, the longer the maintenance time.
‘This means someone is repairing the organ?’
When I asked Peter about this, he was consistent with ‘I don’t know’.
‘Well, if I keep looking around, I’ll find out someday.’
Yuri, who didn’t care about this, jumped back into the cave.
As the number of repetitions went by, he gradually got a clearer idea of the scoring method.
* * *
Day 4 of the institution breakthrough quest challenge.
Yuri’s time zone entered 16 seconds.
The score he received at this time was 194 points.
‘Did Thearesia say that she got 198 points in 5 months?’
Considering Thearesia’s information she had heard from Peter the other day, the speed at which Yuri’s record increased was incredibly fast.
Nevertheless, Yuri’s challenge, which was not satisfied, continued day and night.
* * *
Day 5 of the institution breakthrough quest challenge.
Now, Yuri was memorizing the location, which trap, and how to activate it.
He now has reached a state where he doesn’t touch any of the traps and can control the time zone as he wants.
In addition, the analysis of the scoring method was completely completed.
‘110 seconds or more is 0 points, 1 second per second from 109 seconds to 11 seconds, divided into a total of 99 points.’
And the total number of traps is 100.
‘Every time a trap is broken, one point is deducted.’
The moment the analysis was over, Yuri shook her head.
‘As long as you adapt, you can pass through all the traps without touching them, so your trap score is less discriminatory. Then again, the criteria for determining the ranking of tied players is… It’s time!’
In the case of the same score, the one with the faster time has the upper hand.
It was a strong conviction in the idea that I had vaguely anticipated.
And on that day, Yuri received a score of 195 by passing through the traps in 15 seconds without breaking any traps.
However, even though his score was gradually increasing, his expression was not bright.
“Do I have to break through the 10 invitations of demons to make 200 points?”
Yuri had a hunch.
Breaking through this 10-second wall is never easy.

Maybe Gwonter could not break through the demon’s 10 seconds and stayed at 199 points.
but.
‘I think it will work.’
Yuri felt confident enough to enter the 10th round.
So Yuri’s challenge continued.
The clear water that first flowed into the engine breakthrough quest site was turning into thick stagnant water before I knew it.
* * *
The 10th day of the institution breakthrough quest challenge.
Glass protrudes from the entrance of the green cave.
Sreureuk- Tak!
Stopping the watch, he habitually checked the time.
“… Another 11 seconds.”
The moment Yuri frowned, a score sheet popped out just in time.
Sreuk – Tak!
Yuri confirmed this with a calm face.
【199.】
A whopping 199 points.
At first, it was tied with Gwonter Rider.
This could have won first place, but Yuri’s face didn’t look very happy.
‘Because what I want isn’t a tie for first place like that.’
All he wanted was an overwhelming first place.
So, even though it’s been quite a while since he reached 199 points, Yuri still hasn’t registered his score.
Zuk-.
Yuri, who folded the score sheet, let out a sigh.
“ha… 10 seconds of demons.”
As expected in the first place, it was difficult to enter the 10th invitation.
If you were just running 50 meters, it would take less than 3 seconds instead of 10 seconds.
However, time kept getting delayed in each action to avoid the trap.
There were 100 such traps.
No matter how aware of the location and how to deal with it, it was bound to take up a lot of time.
‘Well, thanks to those traps, Unbo’s proficiency is steadily rising.’
Until now, it was true that I had been relatively neglectful of Unbo, as I had mainly used only the Thunder Wing and the Horse Ryu in a crisis situation.
However, as Unbo continued to be used to avoid traps, the number of operating methods was increasing.
This was great news for Yuri.
‘If the Unbo proficiency increases all the time in this state, there will definitely be a wall of 10 seconds… I can get over it.’
Because of that confidence, Yuri was able to not get frustrated despite the situation where she couldn’t exceed 10 seconds and kept falling over.
Rather, it was boredom, not frustration, that bothered Yuri at the moment.
And the boredom that Yuri felt was a bit different from general boredom and boredom.
Do you know that feeling?
It’s something I’ve always done repeatedly, so my body knows how to move habitually.
I don’t even think it’s boring.
The feeling that the brain that has lost work continues to notice that it is bored?
Glass was in exactly the same condition.
Today too, Yuri’s mouth reacted to the notice given by her brain.
“ah… I’m bored.”
Yuri looked down the cliff, wishing he had someone to talk to.
but.
‘There’s not even a single baby ant, let alone a person.’
It was a very different situation from when I came on the first day, there were quite a few people.
But now I know.
That it was a very, very special, exceptional situation that only happened that day.
As a result of being here for the past 10 days and watching, this quest was not a place where many people came.
The 49th was hardly seen.
The 50th class often came to visit, but it was common to turn away after trying a few times.
‘At least two days at most?’
The person who stayed the longest was a girl in her 50s who stayed for four days… … .
Swoop-.
Yuri’s gaze went to the 7-star cave at the top of the cliff.
‘Ah, she’s gone…’ … .’
The girl ranked 92nd in four days, and then challenged the 7-star cave.
After that, I left only my name on the leaderboard and stayed there forever… I have gone to a place I will never return to.
After leaving the girl like that, until now, Peter was the only person Yuri had met for three days.
Of course, he didn’t deal with Yuri well because he was always sleeping.
Still, Yuri wondered why Peter had called this place ‘a place where there was nothing to do’ and why he was always sleeping.
I could understand it perfectly now.
“I’m bored!”
Yuri struggles with boredom.
“Ehyo, I have to make 200 points and leave.”
He let out a big sigh and was about to press the watch button again as usual.
“uh?”
The three people walking from afar were caught in Yuri’s field of vision.
His eyes narrowed at once and he went to check.
‘see… First of all, the epaulettes are red, 50?’
and.
‘It’s not emerald hair, blue hair, or curly hair.’
It wasn’t even Thearesia, Arin, or Poppy.
‘… Then what about that story?’
Having grasped everything, Yuri let out a cheer.
“It’s a newcomer!”
The two eyes of the old person who was excited at the appearance of the newbie were very bright.
