82. sea train
●
For now, one thing is fortunate.
On the train to the tribal union, Elnor and Yuria take different cars.
Since we don’t run into each other, it’s safe to say that I won’t die right away, at least until I get inside the furnace of struggle.
‘…lived…!’
I feel like I’m going to burst into tears from such relief, but it’s too early to settle for that feeling.
Rather, let’s check what to check first.
＜ System Log ＞
[‘Skill: Fatal Charm’ has been activated! ]
[The favorability of the target ‘Yuria’ has risen from ‘Interest Level 4’ to ‘Trust Level 5’! ]
[ There are special rewards you can claim! ]
I don’t even know how many steps jumped up at once.
I sighed inwardly and turned the window.
[ Receive gift rewards from ‘Yuria’. ]
[ Receive 1 ‘Skill Copy Ticket’. ]
Here’s what you’d expect.
If it goes up to this level, it’s safe to say that you will definitely receive the skill copy right.
YuRia originally kept one, so this is two.
Wow, the skill copy ticket is copied.
“…”
It feels like a gloomy loot.
It’s true that I’m a bit confused because I received it instead of providing a clue to the threat that will continue in the future.
It can be said that the reward itself came at good timing.
‘I should be able to eat it soon.’
From before, there was one of Yuria’s skills that I coveted but couldn’t eat because the conditions weren’t available.
[ Unique Skill: Anti-Magic ]
[ Those who have faced the curse for a long time will naturally learn how to counter it. ]
[ ◆ Opens anti-curse related stat ‘Anti-Ma’. ]
right.
A unique skill means a skill that can only be mastered by that character in the entire world.
This stat called ‘Anti-Ma’ is also a system that only exists in Yuria.
Since the character itself is influenced by the degree of erosion of the curse coming from the severed person, there is a separate ‘stat’ that can resist that side.
By the way, if I had a skill that would open that up.
[ Skill: Desperation ] [ Rating: ??? ]
[ Stat enhancement is applied at the moment of crisis. The lower the chance of survival, the stronger the effect. ]
It means that you can receive this effect very directly.
Considering the characteristic that can pump ‘stats’ like crazy in a ‘crisis situation’, it’s good to see that you naturally have strong resistance to threats through ‘curse’.
‘…I’ll be able to roll it quite usefully in this chapter.’
The main enemies of Chapter 3 are the ‘beasts’.
Apostle of the overturned tidal wave. A Tamer with a terrible power that lies dormant under the sea.
One of the abilities that you naturally encounter the most when fighting against him is ‘Curse’. The Anti-Ma stat will be of great help in dealing with such things.
And one remaining skill copy.
“…”
It is insurance.
Against YuRia, it is better to hold one of these at all times.
Especially considering how the white devil would react if I accidentally showed my ‘face’.
It’s not that I’ve been stuck all this time.
Do you think so darkly?
A window suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
＜ System Message ＞
[ Confirm that there are 2 bowls that have reached ‘trust level 5’ or higher! ]
[Confirm that the difficulty level of the main scenario has increased significantly! ]
[Looking for elements for smoother progress! ]
what is this.
For the first time since possessing it, it feels like I saw the system remind me of the phrase ‘smooth progress’.
Was he originally this conscientious?
＜ System Message ＞
[Check the current status of the target ‘Elijah’! ]
[ Determine the ‘likeability state’ of the target. ]
[ Conditions met! ]
[ Determine the subject’s ‘personality’ and ‘interpersonal relationship’. ]
[ Conditions met! ]
[ Determines the target’s ‘demonic response’. ]
[ Conditions met! ]
[ Congratulations! Soon, the role of ‘??’s helper’ will be granted to the target! ]
“…?”
Well.
If you let me know what kind of role Elijah gets, I would be happy to congratulate him.
‘…aid?’
Seeing that it is a factor for smooth progress, I don’t think it’s a bad meaning.
I don’t know what the heck I’m trying to do by trying to determine all of those many items.
If you look at the phrase about determining the ability to respond to demons, it seems to be related to that side.
“Why are you staring into space so intently?”
Casa Garda, who was sitting across from me and giggling at my expression, said that as she smoked a pipe.
It’s a good person to stick with Li Lu and me throughout the chapter, so I chose the person.
Originally, he should have sat in a seat for the elderly, but this person stubbornly refused.
He was just a little inconvenient, and he was by no means an ‘elderly’ or ‘weak’.
‘…That sounds ridiculous, but.’
Those who are at the top of the world view are the ones who actually prove that nonsense.
This person supported his entire body with only one arm and moved casually.
It’s not a joke, it can move at the speed of a decent adult male running.
“I just had some things to check.”
“If you’re going to check it, would you like to check it out for RiLuna?”
“Won’t you come back soon? You don’t seem to be in a good mood, but I don’t need to touch you…”
Li Lu didn’t say anything the whole time I was riding with me, but he was about to leave the cabin to get some fresh air.
Returning to the homeland from which you were expelled, you can’t help but feel nervous.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if you went and comforted me?”
“…Do you want to comfort me? that person?”
“then.”
Casa continued with a smile.
“He is a much more tender-hearted child than he looks. If it’s what your ‘first friend’ said, I’ll listen to anything even if you pretend not to.”
“…Your first friend?”
“Do you think he would have had any other friends besides you?”
“…”
I hope that such a sad story will come in with the blinker turned on.
“So, while you’re at it, I want you to take that child’s first thing from your first friend to the others—”
“…I’ll find out where you are and come back.”
It’s more like this talk.
At my words, she broke into a cold sweat, and Casa giggled and nodded.
“yes. This is your first training as a teacher who will master your fighting skills. Find him and bring him here.”
“…?”
Well, that’s up to what you would call training.
I tilted my head at Casa’s words and left the room and headed out into the hallway.
The train that connects the three academies in the golden triangle is not just a means of transportation, but boasts luxury that doesn’t matter even if you live in it. Did you say it is one of the largest trains on the entire continent?
Even if you went out to get some fresh air, it’s hard to find where you went.
Shall we go around a bit?
“Uh-um-”
I stretch my joints, which have become sore from sitting for a long time.
As I stretched and looked at the ceiling, the air vents were opening for ventilation. It’s a luxurious train, so it has all the features.
The Furnace of Struggle is a structure built on an island surrounded by the sea on all sides, and now this train is running on top of the ‘sea track’ going into it. The refreshing seaside sky greeted me.
It was thanks to that that I quickly realized the ‘strangeness’.
“…?”
As I said before, it is normal when the refreshing seaside sky greets me.
By the way.
the sky is black
It’s not even in the evening.
And the black color gradually ‘descends’.
It looks like something very huge is plunging down towards the whole train.
“…”
Seeing that, I realize the meaning of the word ‘training’ that Kasa just said to me.
Also, why did Li Lu leave?
“…It’s like this when you get on the train to the academy.”
When I rode with Elnor in the past, I was hit by a rock, but now I think I hit a lot more than that.
While muttering such words, I quickly grabbed a handrail nearby.
next.
[ Raid! attack! Large monster attack! ]
[All students evacuate calmly according to emergency procedures-! ]
Even before that announcement sounded urgently in the room.
-!!
-!!!!!!!
I heard the roar of a large ‘large monster’ that could turn the world upside down.
The whole train started to jolt.
●
It’s a big deal. People’s screams mingled and echoed in all directions.
but.
Let’s be honest.
‘…I don’t feel any sense of crisis.’
This is the first thing that comes to my mind even when the whole train turns over and is rocking back and forth.
I’ve been through situations worse than this right now, but I feel like I’ve come too far to feel anything with just this much.
And, above all.
‘Doesn’t the desperation light turn on?’
I had a very ghostly way of finding out if anything was going to be a threat to my life.
In other words, it is highly likely that this is not a real game.
And when I calmly organize the situation, I can see my surroundings a little more clearly.
While the train is bouncing around like crazy, I somehow manage to balance and look out the window.
That there is a safety net near the track in case the train deviates from the track and rolls down.
In other words, it means that it is a factor that has been created in advance so that ‘casualty’ does not occur.
“…”
Also, a large monster hit a train just before.
Looking up at the ceiling, the next attack didn’t continue, just spinning around in the sky.
It’s something a ‘real demon’ would never do.
As soon as you see it, you immediately realize what it is.
‘Admission test.’
Unlike the Empire’s Elfante, the melting pot of struggle is a town famous for mercilessly pushing from the start.
It is probably intended to examine the qualities of each student through an emergency situation created by ‘virtual reality’ without any word to the parties involved.
Even in the game, it is an event that always pops up as a random encounter when entering the Furnace of Struggle.
“…”
Compared to other countries that still fight with cold weapons, these guys are the level of technology that is playing in another world alone.
Excluding the magic tower, it seems like a country that has declared that it is difficult to come near the feet of a country with a different level of science itself.
While thinking so, I looked up at the ceiling of the train.
Considering Li Lu’s personality, it’s highly likely that she ran outside to ‘fight’ as soon as she saw that large monster.
“…”
Cassa brought it.
On this train that’s hard to even stand properly.
A bitter laugh comes out.
I can feel the reason why that person described this to me as ‘training’.
You can feel it as soon as you climb the ladder to go up to the ceiling right now.
‘…I’m going to die…!’
It is not an ordinary thing to start moving while balancing.
My legs trembled, my semicircular canals screamed, and a feeling of nausea shook my whole body.
However, it seems that the fact that he has been working out with Talion every day, going between death and near death, is not in vain. Even at a level where there is no desperate situation, it is barely possible to ‘move’.
If it had been in the past, wouldn’t it have been just lying on the floor and gagging?
“…sigh.”
It somehow climbs onto the ceiling, staggers, and moves on top of the train as if it were crawling.
After crawling through the time that felt like an eternity, I finally began to see a new type of person I was looking for far away.
“Liru-!”
Riru was preparing to attack the gigantic, bird-shaped monster that roamed around the train, snapping her neck and breaking her knuckles.
No, how could that person be so sane in this situation?
The wind blows like crazy in all directions, and huge waves lap close to the train, making it difficult to stand still.
“This way, Woo Hup, come! Go back-!”
“…What?”
To my words, Li Lu replied in a dumbfounded voice.
“No, where are you going back? How did I find it in the first place?”
Perhaps from that person’s point of view, now is the best time to be active, so why are you intervening?
Considering that side’s personality, if you bring up the word ‘training’ yourself, it’s right to protect it like a knife.
If you don’t, you can’t keep one of them, and you could have them do much more hellish things later.
“…And wouldn’t it be better to take care of yourself first? Will you die then?”
Your face is more than pale blue, almost yellow.
I screamed inwardly at Li Lu who left such words.
‘So, I know it’s not dangerous!’
If I don’t go back now, I’ll be robbed by Casa later like a dog.
I want you to go inside with me even if you look at me.
Let’s try to make it a little more understandable.
“Ah, the dangerous thing- kuk, kuluk, if we don’t go back right away, pouhuk-! Seriously, I’m so-!”
As the wind and waves kept hitting my face together, Li Lu’s eyes narrowed when she saw me looking ugly and unable to complete the sentence.
“…”
fuck.
Anyone can see that my appearance is pathetic.
Even if I get laughed at, I have nothing to say…
＜ System Message ＞
[‘Skill: Fatal Charm’ is activated! ]
[The favorability of the target ‘Liru’ increases from ‘interest level 1’ to ‘interest level 2’! ]
[ Receiveable rewards are added! ]
Eh?
“…What kind of skills are you coming to rescue me with? What is dangerous? What is dangerous? It’s not even a real situation.”
“…”
“Take care of you, start with you. If you can’t even guard your own body, why are you coming to me first? Is that more of an outlier?”
Lilu said that and scratched her head awkwardly.
The way he speaks is ferocious, but he can’t even look straight in this direction.
Maybe it’s because of my mood, but I also feel a slight blush on my face.
“…Thank you anyway. I got it.”
“…”
no.
I don’t know why you say it that way.
It’s not what you think.
Don’t do anything weird, just go back to Casa with me…!
That thought came to me, but this time I couldn’t even get that sentence out properly because I was gagging.
And in the meantime, Riru was raising the magic power from her body.
In terms of fighting power, even if Riru doesn’t know it now, he is a human who can beat Elnor after eating a piece. If you deal with the magic power, you can really fly from a place like this to that large demon.
Right away, magical powers gathered at that bridge. A ferocious smile appeared on Li Lu’s face as well.
And, perhaps feeling threatened by that appearance, he turned to Liru, the bird-shaped demon beast.
[ A crisis situation is detected. ]
[ It is judged as a level that poses a direct threat to life. ]
[Skill: Applies Desperation to EX grade. ]
“…”
It was at that point that I realized something was strange.
The body is suddenly energized.
An ominous feeling runs down your spine.
“Wait a minute, Liru-!”
Something is wrong.
I have such a strong feeling of foreboding.
However, to put my cry to shame, Li Lu had already leapt into the air.
When I hurriedly looked at the large Mazo, yellow energy was gathering in its body.
From my point of view, who knows what that is, it is a situation where the future is visible as it is.
this person.
If you run into it like this, you will die.
unless i do something
“…!”
While he hurriedly got up from his seat and held Ultrima in his hand.
-!!!
The large Mazu exploded a gigantic electric shock at Liru.

So Liru is tsundere? Coote.
