Knight entrance test – 3
While we were moving to the gymnasium, Rize talked to me without stopping for a moment. I wondered what the hell could a person do to live such an active and energetic life.
In particular, I tried to intensively dig into why I was cursed by the witch, but I passed all of the induction interrogations, saying that I couldn’t remember or didn’t know because of the curse.
Then, as if he understood my intention, he changed the question itself later.
Unable to withstand the barrage of questions, I looked at Iris and Erica for help, but to no avail.
Iris shook her head as if she was disgusted with the words that she was not a person who could be dried just because she was dry, so just accept it.
Erica pointed out every single thing I said and said and said, “Please keep your head up.” Rize’s proud smile was a bonus.
In the end, it was only my share to handle all the attention.
No matter how much she must have been bothered by Rize, who clung right next to her and talked nonstop, Iris stopped walking.
“This is the gymnasium.”
‘What is it, why is it so big?’
In front of me was a huge flat field that looked three to four times wider than the gymnasium in the game. Could this be the aftermath of the fact that the Knights’ quarters changed from an ordinary building to a large castle?
I looked around slowly. Although the size has become much wider, the overall landscape has not changed. It was close to just extending the place in the game left and right.
A warehouse was visible in the distance, and wooden swords were lined up on one wall. The floor was not particularly tidy, and every time the wind blew, the dust was blowing.
I had whispered something to Erika just before, and at some point Rize, who had come to my side, opened her mouth slightly.
“How are you, newcomer? Do you like it?”
“Aside from feeling normal—wait a minute, are you new?”
“Yes, newcomer. why? Is there something wrong?”
“Of course it is. I haven’t even taken the entrance exam yet.”
“There’s no way Iris misunderstood the person. And didn’t you hear me confidently say there’s no need to worry? If it’s enough to say that, passing is a fait accompli, so you’re a newbie. Don’t worry too much, I’ll take care of it too. Oh, of course, don’t be too gentle.”
Rize frowned and winked at the same time. I would have understood it if the enemy reinforcement mode hadn’t been installed, but that wasn’t the case, so I barely raised the corners of my mouth to answer.
“The test is a one-on-one sparring, and if a majority of the other knight commanders agree to join, it will pass. Since Commander Claudia Knights is away, only one of my sisters and I can agree. It’s not the majority, but it can’t be helped.”
“No Claudia?”
Iris questioned Erica’s explanation.
It was the same for me too. I didn’t even have the name of the character Claudia in my memory. It would be more accurate to just assume that all the main NPCs have turned into women.
I need to do some research to see where this matches the game and where it differs from the game.
“Claudia? I went to catch him. It’s not long after you left and you went out after receiving the lord’s order, so you might not know. Maybe he’ll be back in the next two days?”
Exterminate the monsters at the lord’s request. That was enough to figure out what the original NPC was.
Iris knew it long ago, and Claudia noticed it too. Now, the only ones left are Rize and Erica. It felt like the outlines of the characters were roughly captured.
I’ll have to keep it a secret from those three, but the knight commander named Claudia will most likely return badly injured after failing in subjugation. That’s what the game’s story was like.
Of course, the player can beat it.
After that, it was a real start. The tutorial area is just a place that shows the direction and direction of Brussels 4, and this entry test feels like a basic battle that explains the game system.
The only problem is that if the enemy reinforcement mode is installed, you really have to fight halfway through the boss battle, not the basic battle.
“is it.”
Iris nodded briefly.
“Dalian opponents—”
“Nana na nana! I’ll do it! Definitely me!”
Rize raised her hand. The recoil caused her chest, which was wrapped in a thin sleeveless sleeve, to oscillate greatly. Iris looked at me with a look that said it wouldn’t matter anyway.
If you see that he wants to fight with me like that, then I must have no choice. He nodded. As soon as I accepted my request, Rize jumped up and down with a big smile.
Erica approached behind Rize.
“Here, sister.”
There were double daggers in both hands. When Rize accepted it, a cold air flowed around her. One edge of the double dagger turned blue, and frost formed.
Ah, that is the original NPC, of course.
‘Write.’
I clicked my tongue inside. After all, it’s because it’s blue hair, so it’s an ice attribute.
I expected a reversal, such as using blue flames to make my hair blue, or using red ice to make my hair red.
“Since you can use that weapon, there is no need to give you another weapon, right? Let me know if you want to write something else. I will lend you.”
Iris pointed to the bloody sword strapped to my waist.
Just as it was taken for granted that games and realities mingled and that women wore modern attire, it was also taken for granted that entrance exams had to be taken with real weapons.
Not to mention Rize, even Iris and Erika only told her to adjust her strength properly, and didn’t seem to have any thoughts that the match itself was wrong.
The only mercy was the fact that it would be clear if you cut only half of your physical strength, not all the way.
‘Besides, the other party is also the original guy.’
The NPC that became Rize’s prototype was a boss who applied ‘freezing’, which would be counted as the first finger if one were to pick the dirtiest, meanest, and most annoying status abnormality in Brunet 4.
When the freeze gauge is full, the player character is frozen for 4 seconds and cannot take any action. Even after it is released, the movement speed, stamina recovery amount, and combat fatigue recovery rate are greatly reduced, as well as rolling speed, evasion distance, and invincibility persist for 30 seconds after being released. Even time is cut in half.
Even if there was just one debuff that would be dirty, he had more than five debuffs by himself. Other status ailments only have one or, at most, two debuffs.
All I could see was that the producers had decided.
What’s more annoying is the fact that such elemental attacks cannot be completely covered by deflecting. In order to perfectly deflect elemental attacks, a suitable large shield or extra large shield was required.
The cumulative value was very small, but the fact that the gauge would build up little by little even if the attack was completely deflected without a shield was already stressful.
“What is that weapon? Is the day red?”
When I pulled out the bloody sword, Lize, who was swinging it around with the dagger wrapped in cold air, asked curiously.
“It’s a weapon obtained by killing monsters in prison.”
“yes? monster? Were there monsters in the prison? And you caught it, who? Iris, you?”
Rize opened her eyes wide. Come to think of it, I haven’t explained what happened in prison yet.
“It takes a long time to explain. Let me tell you when the sparring is over. I also have to write a report for the lord.”
“Ah, yes. Did you have to report it to that pig?”
“I should be able to visit you this evening. I hate to do that.”
The lord of this city had a similar personality to the one in the game, and not only did Iris openly express his dislike of the blunt Iris, but he also heard that amiable Lizé call him a pig.
Even Erica, upon hearing those words, looked tired and chewed her lips.
“It has become useless now. Prepare both.”
As if she didn’t want to think about the lord any more, Iris forcibly proceeded with the sparring. Rize and I faced each other, and the two, not participating in sparring, stepped back.
Cold air raged from the daggers, and white mist began to bloom little by little. It was a fog made of ice and frost. The chill mixed with the wind that was blowing.
‘I never thought I’d see that right in front of me.’
I’ve seen it a lot in the monitor.
Holding the bloody sword with both hands, tilting the tip slightly to the right, he lowered his stance. As he inhaled, cold air penetrated his lungs. I don’t think the freeze gauge will build up to this.
Unlike me, who was very nervous because I had to worry about all sorts of miscellaneous things, Rize started to approach me little by little with a relaxed expression.
“What are you so nervous about, rookie? Are you afraid I’ll kill you? It’s never going to happen, so you can relax your shoulders a little.”
‘He’s good at killing people in games.’
I quietly swallowed the words I wanted to say. Looking back at the fact that I died terribly while clearing this mod when I first installed it, it wasn’t really a belief.
“instead… … .”
The cold air around them raged rapidly. It looked like it was preparing to jump out. I was also prepared to repel the attack.
“It will hurt a little bit!”
Bang, the distance narrowed as soon as the words were finished.
