Episode 36
“There is a limit to the tactics that one person can handle. But with three people, the amount of sharing increases.”
Items that can be processed at the same time, such as attack, defense, reconnaissance, and recovery, increase.
Especially in the beginning of the game, the most reliable way to fight when the base for training is lacking.
Put up a character who will mainly be in charge of firepower, and have a sub-dealer to assist, buff, or support attacks.
Only use recovery or consumable items to support the recovery so that you do not fall down.
With the exception of quite a few boss battles, you can win in most battles even if it takes time if you fight in formations.
Even if the reason is different from the game, it is because of this similar context that the academy class now dares to form a group and practice combat.
‘… … More than anything, the time will come soon when you will need the trick.’
In particular, where the events of Chapter 2 of the main story begin, there are many situations in which a full party battles.
Dangerous situations are increasing.
I would like to help you learn the attitude of collaborating with colleagues as much as possible.
“It’s roughly like this.”
Before re-challenging on the 5th floor, I taught them how to catch the monster.
A very common strategy.
“… … Are you okay with that?”
“I understand Xian’s words… … Is that really the strategy?”
Two contradictory.
Understanding is a reaction to go.
The strategy I am talking about is based on my knowledge from the game days.
For those who don’t know that fact, it must be a rather unfamiliar concept claim.
“Again, not compulsory. Well, if you try and it doesn’t work, then I’ll listen to your complaint.”
After giving rough instructions, we slowly began to prepare for the re-challenge.
In the meantime, it seems that students from other groups have already tried several times before breaking out.
It seems that some of the groups that passed through also came out in the meantime.
The first group to defeat the monster was Chief Elcia.
The record is 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
The group that passed next was made up of students from the Spiritual Art class to which Celidia belongs.
Is the record 8 minutes and 24 seconds?
‘Are they both excellent grades?’
At least, judging from the fact that the supervising professor recorded it with a mixture of satisfaction and admiration, it must have been above average.
Okay, I just need to jump over those guys.
“Okay, then let’s start slowly. The goal is… … 5 minutes. Let’s get results that will make the other guys’ mouths drop open.”
“… … do whatever you want.”
“I wish I could.”
say you can do it
I smiled and stepped forward first, and the other two walked in as if following.
As soon as you enter that floor, the atmosphere changes.
《Reproduce the record.》
《Reproduced Monster: Crystal Turtle》
I wondered if a purple fog shimmered in front of my eyes, and then a monster slowly walked out of it and showed off its appearance.
crystal turtle.
The level was around 20.
A type of monster that troubles those who can’t properly prepare countermeasures with high defense of physical magic and even a special skill to counter the accumulated damage.
“Move like I said before.”
“I definitely remembered! Please leave it to me in peace!”
Yang Fei charged first.
But the momentum has changed since the beginning. I don’t just run recklessly by myself, but I adjust my speed while being conscious of my allies.
After that, Linia also runs with her sword in hand.
‘First of all, Linia’s Aura user-type skill.’
Uses an extremely stable type of combat.
It’s not a type that is easily penetrated by weaknesses, but on the contrary, it’s a build that is easy to struggle against monsters that are biased towards personality.
“Haaa!”
Linia speeds up, overtakes Fay, slips to the side, and swings a slash at the turtle.
-Pain Edge.
It is a first-class skill that doubles damage for the first turn only.
Kakakang!
And the additional effect is aggro.
The tortoise’s head naturally turned toward Linia.
“next!”
“I definitely remember it.”
Yang Fei followed the instructions and jumped up.
“I will definitely crush it this time.”
As if remorseful about the failure earlier, he vigorously twists his body in the air and swings his kick to deliver blows.
-Destructive Gokjeong (滅火曲靜).
The energy wrapped around the legs raged like black flames and adhered to the surface of the turtle that had been beaten.
That skill itself has weaker power than other skills, but it has other additional effects.
A unique energy clings to the opponent who is hit, reducing their agility.
(By the way, Xian, I felt a sense of incongruity a little while ago, but that child’s skills.)
‘that’s right. The basis of energy that supports Yang Fei’s martial arts skills… … That’s Margie.’
Although it has a different temperament than the Magi I use.
I heard that there are many different types of magic.
It’s a martial art, but originally, the clan called their martial arts here.
It’s called magic.
(You can use energy that way.)
‘You’ve often seen things like Aura.’
(different.)
said Emily.
(The aura you speak of must be the feeling of taking over mana and sharpening it to use it as a weapon.)
Just like making a wooden spear by cutting and sharpening a tree.
(However, that child’s technique uses the essence of the energy itself. It’s like trying to become the essence itself by embracing demonic energy with a human body.)
“hmm… … .”
Somehow, I was concerned that Emily was interested, but I’ll ask for an additional explanation next time.
Now I have work to do too.
“Then let me pretend to work too.”
He chants black magic right away and shoots at the turtle.
However, it is not offensive magic.
“First, take away your sight and senses.”
When the magic circle was completed, what flowed out was a dense black mist.
– Chaos Mind.
3rd circle mental interference black magic.
It is a mental interference type of black magic that gives confusion to enemies and monsters with a certain probability.
As the mist is sucked in, the tortoise stumbles and begins to tremble.
Confusion and paralysis overlap, making it impossible to move.
(Is it effective?)
‘Crystal Turtle has extremely low resistance to abnormal conditions.’
Instead, the physical defense and magic defense are quite high, so you will have a hard time hunting normally.
Because dill doesn’t stick!
In short, it would take more than 8 minutes even if you poured in high firepower at the level of Celidia by simply fighting.
Even more annoying if the reflection pattern overlaps.
“First of all, there won’t be any big movements until he shows a pattern, so attack while getting his attention.”
“huh!”
“I know!”
What I’m going to do from now on is a basic trick to deal damage when the mob is hard like that.
There are signs that a pattern is beginning to emerge. It has lost enough stamina.
“Use the technique as discussed. Yang Fei first!”
“Leave it to me!”
Yang Fei rushes energetically and uses the technique.
– Two-headed hitting method.
Papapat! The two palms, which were lightly released, hit the surface of the turtle in turn.
The effect is a significant decrease in the target’s critical resistance.
In addition, the casting speed is fast, so if you aim well, you can stack up to 2.
While using the same technique again, Rinia also intervened at that timing and wielded the fairy sword to use the technique.
As promised in advance.
As he swung his sword, a slightly different blade wind blew and scratched the tortoise’s shell.
-A blizzard of corrosion.
A 2-star Aura class attack skill, similarly a skill that can be expected to have a debuff effect rather than power.
Reduces target’s HP recovery.
‘The reason why that turtle is so hard is because it has defense power, but it also has recovery ability with its own skill.’

Lay the groundwork in advance with various debuffs and skills that will weaken its characteristics.
Basically, the tricks you learn at the beginning of a battle by manipulating a party.
Rather than blindly giving damage, lay the groundwork and figure out the pattern of the guy to do the best damage at the most optimal moment.
“5… … 4… … it’s okay! Pour it now!”
Calculate the most dangerous time, give instructions, and immediately insert an explosion.
Cast the Bone Spear and call out the long spear of the goal as it is, and fire it at it.
Fay also tried to perform the most powerful skill, and Linia also refined her posture and tried to unleash the most powerful skill.
“I will finish it once and for all!”
“With this!”
-Ogwita perish.
– Beating blades.
The pouring tyranny and the fairy sword wrapped in the wind were stabbed one after another.
Kwaji Jik.
Unlike before, the moment the skill hits, a sound like something cracking is heard.
The damage was properly placed.
As the critical resistance has been drastically lowered, there is a high probability that the hit attack will be a critical hit.
Almost at the same time as the two finished the attack and retreated, the Bone Spear I flew also hit.
Kwajijik!
With the sound of breaking the hard shell, the bone spear burrows deep into the monster’s body.
“… … Debuff ends.”
As soon as the calculated time expires, the special glow of the debuff that surrounds the incapacitated turtle disappears.
The guy stumbles.
Originally, it would be included in the damage reflection pattern of the example.
“It is already over.”
The tortoise, which had been staggering, sat down and put its head on the ground.
As it is, the shape of the dead monster fades away.
It’s a reproduced monster, so if it’s damaged enough to end its life, the summoning will be canceled.
“Haaa… … under… … . Did you really knock it down?”
“ha… … . I barely made it.”
Linia and Yang Fei caught their breath and looked this way.
I nodded to mean that there was no problem and took them out of the tower.
Anyway, today’s training assignment is up to the 5th floor.
The 6th floor is still too early for those kids.
As soon as I got out, I didn’t forget to check the record with the professor who was measuring it.
“How about this record?”
“uh… … . 4 minutes 56 seconds… … . amazing I never thought I would defeat the Crystal Turtle before its powers could be activated.”
I admire it like I can’t believe it.
“Above all, it was amazing leadership.”
If you are a master who has accumulated some skills, it will be easy to press the turtle with force.
At this point, there was no way the three newbies who had just entered the academy could do that.
It’s natural to be surprised.
《You have fulfilled the clear conditions of the quest.》
《Acquire experience.》
《You have reached level 20》
《Acquire 5pts of level-up bonus skill points.》
《Passive skill: Learn group command.》
I got good grades for shouting out loud, so there’s no reason to hear the two of them complain.
The two seemed lost in thought, but they were not particularly interested in what each was thinking.
‘It’s not like I can’t guess.’
For some reason, Yang Fei was staring at us with sparkling eyes.
Meanwhile, Linia… … .
The fairy sword she wears at her waist.
For some reason, there was nothing that I couldn’t guess what she was thinking when I saw her staring at it and talking strangely to herself.
More than anything, I was convinced.
Linia Belton.
I came to the conclusion of a study on her.
‘She’s not… … .’
By observing her skills and combining the reputations I’ve heard, I’ve been able to draw conclusions about her.
I am not someone who has encountered this world as a ‘game’.
Anyway, Linia Belton.
In short, she is nothing more than a human with the setting of the character Linia.
That guy is not a player.
If you remember this world as a game, you won’t even blink an eye at the elements you have to react to.
‘So what’s going on? What will become of this world?’
Many events will happen in her life in the future.
If you do well, you will overcome.
but… … .
‘Is it dangerous to blindly believe that the result will be desirable?’
First, I decided to draw a conclusion.
There is a person named Rinia, but it may not be enough to produce the results I want.
Then there is one thing I must do.
‘I don’t want to replace that guy’s job, but… … .’
If you’re not a player, you’ll probably miss many elements of Rinia.
If that’s the case, it won’t matter if I actively retrieve them in the future.
‘Then I’ll write it down… … . He’s the main character, but he’s not the main character.’
