Chapter 118. record (2)
Around noon on the 27th of February.
The end-of-February evaluation is just around the corner.
As a result, the majority of jockeys have already completed point registration.
Likewise, Arin and Poppy also went to their nests after registering points.
Even a nest is just two huts placed in a wide space surrounded by tall wooden pillars.
However, even this was a precious space for Arin and Poppy, who had been homeless for a long time.
Arin, who arrived at the nest like that, stretched out.
“Ugh, going out is hard… After all, home is the best!”
Arin was used by Yuri and had to pickaxe without rest.
During the time of freedom she gained after a long time, she lived with the hut as one body.
As if everything was a bother, he hid himself in a hut and idly ate, and his meals were roughly dry.
If I hadn’t registered for points by today, I would have enjoyed a few more days of idleness.
Still, Arin, who had regained her vitality after living secluded for 10 days, looked toward the crack and called for Poppy.
“It’s Poppy.”
“hungry?”
“Did he not come in today?”
Nodding-.
Poppy, who had no idea who the guy Arin was talking about, nodded.
At this, Arin’s beautiful army frowned.
“… Where is he and what is he doing?”
After taking a vacation, Arin couldn’t see Yuri’s face often.
Of course, it was also because Arin lived in seclusion, but it was fundamentally the cause that Yuri did not return to his place.
‘For the first few days, I thought I’d come back and go to sleep… … .’
But after a certain moment, Yuri never came back.
that was a few days ago.
So Arin’s lips had no choice but to protrude sharply.
“Even though you said you’d make a house for you, you run away and don’t even come back?”
Of course, it wasn’t that she hated the hut she was using now, but what she wanted from Yuri in the first place was a house on a high ground.
I’ll make it… No, they coaxed me to make it together, worked hard on it, and now neglected me because I didn’t know.
In that fact, Arin’s heart was twisted in the first place.
The secondary reason why she was so pouty was… … .
“Then our rice!”
It was because there was no glass, so I was eating only tasteless dried food every day.
‘At first, it was nice to be able to rest without nagging… … .’
But that’s only for a few days.
After eating only dry food for a few days, the sense of taste regained thanks to Yuri’s cooking kept protesting to serve something delicious.
look at it now
Doesn’t it make you salivate simply by recalling the taste of the food Yuri made for you?
“… hungry.”
It must have been the same with Poppy, and he too wiped away the drool.
Seeing this, Arin got lucky.
“we… Would you like to go find him?”
“hungry?”
“No, rather than just looking for something to eat… that… Do you want to check if you have registered points? hey, don’t you know? Could he be eating?”
“hungry!”
Poppy nodded her head at Arin’s excuse, as if she was embarrassed to visit her for food.
However, there was one problem with going to find Yuri right away.
“By the way, Yuril… Where can I find it?”
“… hungry.”
It was that he couldn’t even guess where Yuri was.
But then, someone appeared who would give them an answer.
widely-!
Thearesia escaped from the rift with her emerald hair fluttering.
Arin and Poppy saw her and ran away.
“Thearesia senior dear!”
“I am hungry!”
Seeing the two people suddenly rushing towards her, Thearesia looked a little taken aback.
Still, Thearesia did not reject the approaching two of them, perhaps as if they had been acquainted with the two for nearly a month.
“… why?”
“Do you know where Yuri is? Didn’t you come in because you went out with your senior the other day?”
Thearesia nodded slightly at that question.
“know.”
“Then take us there!”
“There?”
Originally, the reason Thearesia came out of her residence was to go to register points.
However, Thearesia was slightly troubled by Arin’s request.
‘Yuri, are you doing well?’
As soon as she heard Arin’s request, Yuri’s face appeared in Thearesia’s mind.
Since she took her to the quest, she didn’t look into it, so she still doesn’t know how much Yuri’s record is.
‘Did I exceed my record?’
However, Thearesia immediately shook her head.
‘The organ breakthrough quest is not simply fast enough to get a high score.’
Of course, he was sure that one day Yuri would surpass his own score.
Even so, it would be difficult for him to outrun himself in such a short period of time.
‘It took me 5 months to make 198 points, but that’s because of my constitution, which is often blocked by walls.’
If it were my current skills, it would take about two to three months to reach 198 points if I started over without knowing anything.
Therefore, I guessed that it would take about a month for Yuri to surpass 198 points, even compared to her current self.
‘I got 188 points on my first challenge… It might be in the top 5 by now.’
Thinking so, Thearesia became even more curious about Yuri’s real ranking.
She checked where the sun had risen.
‘There’s still plenty of time left, so it’s not too late to stop by there.’
Anyway, you only have to register the end of the month evaluation points before midnight.
You should have at least 10 hours to spare.
In response, Thearesia lightly beckoned.
“Follow me.”
Arin and Poppy’s faces brightened at her consent.
* * *
Thearesia, who was a deceased person in the organ breakthrough quest before Yuri.
As she walked through the forest, she explained to the new recruits as she did to Yuri.
Upon hearing all of this, Arin and Poppy looked at each other in amazement.
“Was there a place like that?”
“hungry?”
“Then Yuri was still breaking the quest there, right?”
“hungry?”
Thearesia silently nodded at their ensuing questions.
It was because I thought that since I would arrive at my destination soon anyway, I could answer it there.
The moment the three of them just left the forest road.
Kwagang-!
Their footsteps stopped abruptly at the sound of an explosion.
Arin slightly frowned at the sound that still echoed in his ears.
“The quest to break through that organ or something… Are you really this loud?”
“… No way.”
Thearesia shook her head slightly.
Her gait quickened.
Thearesia, who had reached the line of sight of the cliff, tilted her head lightly.
‘Doesn’t seem to be anything wrong?’
So, what was that binge drinking just a moment ago?
Putting her doubts aside, Thearesia took Arin and Poppy to a simple building.
“Now, this is where the rankings mentioned earlier are tallied. That leaderboard… … .”
Thearesia continued to explain so kindly.
Her words were cut off.
“Senior Thearesia?”
“hungry?”
When Arin and Poppy asked why, what came out of Thearesia’s mouth was a murmur of astonishment.
“No, no way… … .”
two eyes wide open.
Thearesia’s pupils were filled with the record of winning first place.
【1st place / 50th class / Yuri Holland / 200 points (4 seconds)]
No. 1’s personal information has not changed from the time Ivan, Nellie, and Fana checked the other day.
The only thing that has changed is the time after 200 points.
At this, a voice denying the stretching reality escaped from Thearesia’s mouth.
“Perfect score? and… 4 seconds? No, nonsense… … .”
It was just 17 days ago that Yuri was brought here.
No, not even a day has passed, so it’s not even the 17th.
‘But it’s already a perfect score?!’
Thearesia’s wide-open eyes didn’t know that they would get smaller.
She took a deep breath, calming her startled chest.
‘Ok, fine. Perfect score in 17 days… Hit can make it. however… … .’
200 points no matter what.
How can I get time… Can a time of 4 seconds come out?
Is that a physically possible time?
Thearesia’s thinking was messed up.
She knocked on the table urgently, whether Arin and Poppy looked at her strangely.
Tak-tak-.
“Mr. Peter! Peter Lehmann, Battle… … .”
“… I’m awake, so don’t do that.”
Before Thearesia could finish speaking, Peter opened Booth’s eyes.
In response, Thearesia pushed her upper body toward the table and asked.
“Peter, that… Is that score real?”
Fully understanding what Thearesia was surprised to see, Peter nodded.
“Is it real or fake? It is a real score that does not violate internal rules.”
“Uh, how… How the hell can you make a record of 4 seconds?”
At Thearesia’s question, Peter shrugged.
“Okay. That’s something I’m curious about too.”
The previous record of 9 seconds was indeed an amazing record, but the new record of 4 seconds was an outrageous record even to Peter.
Seeing Thearesia with her eyes wide open, Peter smiled softly.
“Shall I show you something more fun?”
“yes?”
At Thearesia’s question, Peter touched the wall.
Then Whirik- The wall that turns.
At the same time, the rankings of the 7-star institutions were revealed.
Seeing this, Thearesia’s eyes widened again.
What surprised her was, again, the name and record at the top of the leaderboard.
【1st place / 50th class / Yuri Holland / 200 points (4 seconds)]
[2nd place / 48th class / Gwonter Rider / 188 points]
【3rd place / 49th class / Thearesia Winchester / 165 points]
It was a record that could only be described as bizarre beyond the expression overwhelming.
“oh my god… … .”
Although she was ranked third, Thearesia was also the one who survived from a 7-star institution.
That’s why Yuri’s record is close to impossible… No, I knew better than anyone that it was impossible.
‘how?’
How can I break even a 7 star in 4 seconds?
What should I do?
The moment Thearesia felt a strong curiosity about such a question.
Quaang-!
The explosion I had heard earlier erupted again.
Arin turned his head to where the sound came from and narrowed his eyes.
“uh? that… isn’t it glass? Right?”
“hungry.”
As if she could see it, Poppy nodded.
The epicenter of binge drinking is the Green Cave.
That’s where the glass came out.
Thearesia muttered as if possessed by the familiar black back of her head.
“… What the hell were you doing?”
With those words, Thearesia moved straight away.
what is glass doing
Also, to see how they managed to set such an absurd record.
* * *
knocked-.
Ignoring the vibrations coming from behind her, Yuri crouched down in front of the gap where the score came out.
Sreuk – Tak!
‘come!’
Disappointment flashed in Yuri’s eyes as she took the score sheet and opened it.
“Wow, you’re going to pretend like you didn’t know until the end?”
The only thing written on the score sheet is the number 【0】.
There were no letters that Yuri wanted.
“Can you stand this? Poisonous, poisonous.”
Of course, that was from Yuri’s point of view.
Perhaps from that point of view, the guy who goes around caves and smashes all 100 traps in order to have a conversation is a bad guy.
“hmm… I have nothing more to break today.”
When Yuri is scratching his cheek like that.
“What are you doing?”
Yuuri turned her head at the voice she heard from behind.
Arin, Poppy, and Thearesia.
Seeing the unexpected combination, Yuri tilted her head.
“what? What are you doing here? Even the three of us together?”
“I was wondering if you were dead or alive, what the hell are you doing. So what were you doing?”
Yuri gave a fishy smile at Arin’s question.
“A terrifying thing.”
“… … ?”
“A terrifying thing to harass the person who cursed at me.”
Arin tilted his head, but Yuri did not explain further.
And Thearesia intervened between their conversation.
“Yuri, you… … .”
“huh?”
“That time… What happened?”
“what?”
“What the hell should I do for 4 seconds… … .”
Thearesia was slurred, but Yuri clearly understood what she was asking.
he was fed up
“Oh, is that?”
Yuri also reached the record of 9 seconds and thought it would be difficult to shorten the time any further.
But, as always, when you think about it, you find a way.
“I did a bit of a change of thinking.”
As a result, I was able to realize that the dead end that I thought was the end was not the end.
