65 – 065 – What is forest school # 5
065 – What the hell is forest school # 5
“Leave this supply to us. Then, let’s get through it safely this time.”
I said it out loud.
Skadi, who was listening to the story, growled, “What kind of nonsense is this?”, but my explanation was not over yet.
“When you choose to engage us. One of the four of you will definitely be eliminated as a road companion. Unconditionally knock it down.”
“… what?”
The grim Skadi’s expression turned even more grim.
Probably because he noticed that what I was saying wasn’t just a threat.
First of all, since Skadi and Viktor were colleagues on the same executive committee, they should know each other’s skills well.
I added the words with momentum,
“You guys don’t want to lose to Black Star’s Enio Party, right? Lose your power trying to knock me down here. Your victory is to cross the water.”
Will everyone leave the student council party with a hole in it again?
In other words.
Now I’m like a swing boat picking out winners.
Whoever attacks me won’t win this little ludens game.
such a threat.
Smart student council friends would understand.
“Ugh… , this bastard… !”
It is the time when the interim school and midterm exams are combined.
Everyone wants to get good grades.
“One small supply and your victory. Do I need to hesitate between the two?”
“This guy… !”
When Skadi is doing nothing but barking.
Shady and Victoria, who were watching this situation from behind, whispered.
“Victoria, what are you going to do? I don’t think Viktor is simply bluffing.”
The main axis of the student council party must be Victoria.
Destiny will be different in many ways depending on the person’s right to decide.
However, it was also true that as time went on, Arnoi and I were at a disadvantage.
If things go on like this, other guys with maps will appear, and the moment the melee comes, Arnoy and I, who are in the minority, will become someone’s LP.
“Now, decide quickly.”
“Victor.”
Victoria opened her mouth calmly.
“… Are you and I enemies?”
“yes.”
Startle.
Victoria seemed surprised.
I decided to add one more word.
“At least on this island. Even between you and me, we should be thorough in our lives.”
Besides party members, where are your allies on this island?
That’s what survival is.
“But if you concede this supply, you can erase at least one debt from us. I am a person who pays off my debt thoroughly.”
“yes. you are that kind of person So, are you saying that we are only enemies on this island?”
The look on Victoria’s face when she asked such a question seemed strangely relieved.
I just nod my head.
“yes.”
Shadi, who was next to me, whispered.
“Victoria, what are you doing?”
“… … .”
When everyone’s eyes were on Victoria, she turned her shoulders and started to leave. Somehow, that step was light.
That action means one thing.
It means that I won in this strange negotiation.
“Then I take this.”
Why don’t you come back later and say something else?
Are you really going?
It’s a trick I came up with, but I think I gave up too easily?
“Victor, you. Next time we meet, there will be no soup.”
Skadi also turned her head and left, as if she had complied with the party leader’s decision.
When they disappeared, we decided to quickly open the strange-looking box in case someone else showed up.
“This is the supply box… ! This Arnoi is also the first to see the real thing… !”
Its size was very large.
It was so big that a crouching Arnoi could enter it.
It looks like something out of a pirate movie, and its rims sparkle with silver.
Arnoy said to him.
“As far as this Arnoi knows, I heard that supply boxes range from Bronze to Silver to Gold… . This is a silver grade supply box… !”
That’s the second best supply box.
Looking forward to what will come out.
It would be nice if he was a guy worth taking the risk of clashing with the student council.
Click, Giik.
When the door of the supply box was opened, a bright light emanated from inside.
What’s in it… .
“What is this… ? To have risked it for the sake of this strange stone… . This Arnoi is very angry… !”
Arnoi got angry when he saw the red stones in the supply box.
A stone the size of Arnoi’s fist.
It is understandable to be upset to think that we risked it for a stone that was not food, armor, weapon, or anything else.
But I thought I was lucky this time in my own way.
“This is a moon stone. It’s a Tier 2 crafting material.”
“Do you mean moon stones?”
“yes. I think I can supplement my power with this.”
Tier 2 crafting materials came out of the Silver Box.
Then, it must mean that there is a chance that a tier 1 crafting material will come out of the golden supply box.
If you acquire [Adamant], a tier 1 crafting material, you may be able to craft a powerful weapon, [Adamant’s Scythe].
If you acquire 「Essence of Winter」, you will be able to make 「Queen of Winter」, a powerful accessory.
Of course, this moonstone was also a good enough material.
“If you have this guy, you can make Wolyeong’s sword.”
Although it is not as good as the 1.5 tier weapons Balmung and Tyrbing, Wolyoung’s sword should be enough power on this island as a tier 2 weapon.
Without delay, I overlapped my 「Shabby Sword」 and 「Moon Stone」.
A sword that emitted a brilliant light with a wooing sound.
Pyororong.
「Wolyoung’s Sword – Moon Shadow: A sword made to imitate the moon reflected in a lake. The pure white blade is very beautiful.”
great.
It’s done.
Snug.
When I swung it into the air, the sound of cutting through the air was wonderful.
If you have this, you’ll be able to take down guys with really decent full HP in one hit.
「Acquire + 20 LP.」
LP according to item production also came in.
Maybe it’s because I made a high-tier item, but this time there are a lot of points.
My LP right now is 160.
If you add 40 points in the future, you can avoid failing.
Of course, what I’m aiming for is the top score, not a failing grade.
“Then, are you going to hunt people with that sword…?” ?”
Arnoi smiled maliciously.
I don’t know why he likes to hunt people so much.
“This Arnoi, in the first year, he hid in a cave and just trembled. Now it’s something else… ! To make everyone bow their heads before this great 8th grade Arnoi… !”
It seems so.
“But I don’t.”
Arnoy’s face seemed to be struck by lightning at my firm reply.
“Why… ?”
“The LP you get when you defeat a person is 20 per person. Even if you can get their material items, the risk is too high.”
To collect LP, it was enough just to make items.
Rather, item production can be seen as a shortcut to collecting LPs.
Production efficiency is so good.
“Until night comes, we’ll make a bunch of nooses.”
* * *
night.
We settled in a building slightly out of the way in the central shopping street.
“As expected, I thought that I would be able to eat delicious food with the chef Viktor… ! This Arnoi was wise… !”
“It’s just that rabbit meat is sprinkled with salt collected from rock salt and grilled.”
“Are you not hearing the complaints of people who don’t even have this? Last time at forest school, this Arnoi ate only seaweed stems and endured… .”
that’s pitiful
While Arnoy was enjoying his meat, I listened.
A strange cry was heard along with humming noises here and there.
woo woo-.
“Is this a wolf? Howl Fang?”
Howlfang is a wild beast that often appears on Ludens Island.
With these guys walking around in groups, leather and fangs are quite useful materials.
“In this little Ludens, wild beasts also appear… . It’s good to be careful at night… !”
“Are they giving out LPs too?”
“I heard that… !”
——–.
Then I heard another strange cry.
Howl Fang, the wolf monster?
No, it’s a little different.
this strange cry.
where did you hear
I tried to think about it, but the night only became quiet.
Did the Howl Fangs hold their breath with that cry just now?
The first night passed quickly with such a feeling.
Surprisingly, the next morning.
“Oh, this can’t be… . That’s half the number of survivors… !”
“Half already?”
It was surprising that only half of the survivors were left overnight.
Did the engagement break out overnight with a sense of splendor?
Arnoy also said something surprising.
“According to this map, it seems that all areas from the port to the outskirts of the island have been engulfed in darkness… ! I mean, I don’t know what this means… !”
“Encroached on by darkness?”
I decided to listen to Arnoy’s explanation further.
“On the map, the outer part of the island is charred… ! I think they’re saying you shouldn’t go here… !”
“i get it.”
i think i know what
This little Ludens has a regional blockade rule.
It seems to be a kind of penalty like a storm or magnetic field that is common in the genre of survival games.
If you go out there, you’ll probably automatically drop out—it feels like that.
Could it be that certain areas are locked every night?
To say that it was locked from the outskirts would be the same as saying that all the survivors would eventually gather toward the central street on the last night.
“You’re deliberately inducing a fight.”
Only then will it be unconditional to fight another party.
“We are also adding more staff. I think it would be good to have reliable guys as allies.”
“Then, how about finding the manager first? It is clear that Manager Nike will be helpful in many ways… !”
“Not a bad idea.”
Nike can be trusted.
But I don’t know where he is.
At this, Arnoi laughed.
“If you are Manager Nike, there is a high probability that you will be in the C class group. If you look at the map right now, you can see that the residential area to the west of the shopping district is crowded with people… !”
“I guess you can meet me if you go that way.”
Arnoi and I packed a lot of things.
Arnoy carries the burden, of course.
“bag… . It’s heavy… !”
“You were supposed to run errands. endure.”
“hehehehe… !”
It was when I entered the residential area to the west with such a feeling.
There were quite a few students buzzing there.
All of their faces looked like those of a terrified soldier.
“There are already more than 10 people in our class… .”
“What the hell is that monster… !”
what’s going on
I wanted to ask, but I keep my distance because I could be attacked if I approached.
“Arnoi, can you see Nike?”
“I don’t think Manager Nike is here… ! It could be that I missed out… ! Manager Nike is unexpectedly useless… !”
Arnoi criticized it without hesitation, but I didn’t think that Nike would have already been eliminated.
Didn’t you join the C class group?
Then, I roughly predicted where Nike was.
So lunchtime.
I arrived at the mini “Mysterious Forest” located in this small Ludens.
I thought Nike would be here.
“oh! Guys, how did you get here!”
There really was.
Nike really likes the forest.
“Nike, if there isn’t a party, why don’t you join us? We still have two seats open.”
“… Good! I didn’t have a party!”
Nike was living alone.
I was glad that I was able to team up with Nike without any process.
On the one hand, I felt worried.
Is Nike being bullied in class C?
Then Arnoi asked.
“By the way, why didn’t Director Nike join Class C’s group alliance? It’s dangerous to be alone in this forest… !”
“That’s it… .”
Nike hesitates.
It seems that there is a story that I do not want to tell.
Then Nike spoke cautiously.
“Rather, I lived in the forest… ! Last night, something terrible roamed the city… ! If they were making a large group, they would surely have been attacked… !”
“Something terrible?”
I got curious.
In response to my question, Nike pointed the palm of her hand somewhere in the forest.
There were deep, thick footprints.
A two-pronged heel.
And even traces on the floor that looked like something metallic had been dragged along.
“It was a cow with a single horn! By the way, I walked on my own two feet!”
It was a bipedal monster that emerged from the deep-seated traces and Nike’s cry.
A monster with a cow’s head.
“This island has Minotaurs.”
Why is there a boss level monster that can only be encountered in the second half?
