231. Library Quest (2)
“Now, look what I brought here.”
I gathered all the party members at the Utopia hideout and opened the box I received from Lina.
Inside the box, there were seven beads placed on luxurious fabric.
Me, Kang Do-hee, Yu-ri Lee, Se-hee Shin, Ga-eul Lim, Sophia, Ichika.
It was an amount that would go to all of Utopia.
“······What is this?”
“It’s an elixir of magic power that Chairman Lina concocted with Fire Dragon.”
Answering Shin Se-hee’s question.
I placed a single ring in each hand.
“Woah, elixir!?”
“Is this the elixir!?”
“It’s an elixir of increasing magical power…”
“Really······. “It’s an elixir…?”
I was shocked to hear that this was the elixir. Party members who somehow keep their hands firm.
The elixir was a small, transparent bead with bright red flames fluttering inside.
Everyone was captured by the bright appearance of the elixir.
Even Shin Se-hee and Kang Do-hee, who have probably eaten many good things so far, have this reaction.
I nodded, feeling deep satisfaction at the enthusiastic reactions of the party members.
‘Actually, I would have been disappointed if I didn’t get this kind of reaction.’
There are three ways to increase magical power in this world of Velvet School Life.
The first is to use the ‘stat increase coupon’.
When I first fell here, I used the Alice box the production team gave me to blow up my natural trash abilities.
The second is ‘elixir’.
You can increase your magic power through elixirs, just as you have given to your party members.
And the third and final one is ‘growth.’
Gradually increase your magic attribute limit through intensive training. Increasing the number of stars by going over the wall.
There are three ways.
The problem is that there is no gacha here.
In other words, additional ability level increase coupons cannot be supplied at all.
The elixirs that are usually obtained through gacha are also bound to be extremely rare items that ordinary people will never have the opportunity to encounter.
So, in the end, the third method, a healthy increase through growth, was almost the only alternative.
How about picking up a passing fire dragon and turning it into an elixir?
“Jin Yuha. Me, me, me, me, Sha, shouldn’t I take a shower? “I never thought I would actually eat something so precious…!”
“It’s a fire dragon’s magical power-boosting elixir. The name is extraordinary.”
“You took care of this for me too. “Is it really okay for me, the operator, to take this…?”
“I’ve only heard of the elixir, but this is my first time seeing it…”
It’s not at all strange that everyone is making such a fuss.
Since everyone has the elixir in their hands and no one wants to eat it,
Tub.
I put the sweet pills in my mouth first.
“Now. Please eat it quickly. Unless you’re going to keep it at home and display it for generations.”
“······Can I really exhibit this?”
“I wonder if it will work.”
Then, the party members looked determined and followed me into pouring the elixir into their mouths.
Let the Danhwan go down your throat.
The first thing I felt was the scorching heat.
I felt like my insides were bubbling, as if I had swallowed fire.
The energy of the elixir was released from the center of the body and began to spread throughout the body.
Should I call it the feeling of a fire dragon rushing through the blood path?
The explosive energy that seemed to set everything on fire was the fire dragon itself.
The guy caught on the leash by Lina’s magic burned only the residue accumulated in the blood path.
Grumbling rumbling─
It feels like washing my whole body with fire.
I used my magic power and sharpened my sword of concentration so that the flame could cleanse every corner of my body.
How long has it been?
Eventually.
The fire slowly began to die down.
And the flames that lost their power slowly melted into my magic.
Flash!
Let’s open our eyes.
I could see the party members looking at me with concern.
“······Huh? Are you done already?”
When I asked. Yuri Lee answered.
“Yes, rather than that, you took too long…”
“Really?”
I immediately opened the status window to see if something was wrong.
And then I couldn’t help but make a subtle expression.
Magic power did increase.
But.
It rose from 79 to 80.
‘Only 1······?’
“How much has your magic attribute increased?”
I frowned and asked the party members.
“Me? 4.”
“I got a 3.”
“I also got a 3.”
Everyone was ranked 3-4.
‘Am I the only one?’
Well, it’s not like there isn’t a reason that can be roughly guessed.
Because I have previously taken pills that increase magical power.
Master brought it to me once before.
When an elixir overlaps, it becomes resistant.
So, I didn’t really expect it to rise dramatically as I ate it.
‘Well, it’s still a shame.’
In any case, the spirit exuded by the party members was unusual.
In particular, Shin Se-hee and Kang Do-hee, who are a good match for Hwaryong, can even feel the pressure of their intangible energy.
‘Well, at this level, I can complete the library quest that Lina gave me.’
“Junior, it suddenly occurred to me, didn’t we have to do one more broadcast to get this? Live broadcast.”
At that time, senior Gaeul asked an appropriate question.
“Ah, we decided not to do a second broadcast.”
“······Huh? Why?”
“There is nothing better than accumulating a reputation. So instead, I received Fire Dragon’s elixir as advance payment. “I received another request.”
“Another request…?”
I showed the request to the party members and explained what the request was.
“······Now, wait a minute! Why three? “Aren’t we all going together?”
Lee Yu-ri, who was listening to the request, spoke in a surprised voice.
I nodded to Yu-ri Lee’s question.
“Yes, three of us. So, only two more people, including me, can go.”
Originally, library quests had a limit on the number of people.
Then, a strange atmosphere was instantly formed among the party members.
The desire to test the strength that has become stronger after taking the Fire Dragon’s elixir
She feels that she cannot be left out of the quest with Jin Yuha!
“First of all, we need one more dealer. If it was Chairman Lina’s request, it wouldn’t be an ordinary request. In case something dangerous happens. In the end, what is needed is greater force to break through.”
Kang Do-hee appealed to himself first.
“Hmm, well? Stand at the forefront and break through the enemies. Wouldn’t a shield to block attacks be the first priority? Anyway, it doesn’t make sense for the dealer to move alone without a tank.”
“Well, shouldn’t there be a healer who can heal you when you’re injured or your stamina is low?”
“This request is an investigation request. As an operator, I can also participate.”
“Hmm, is that tidy?”
Starting with Kang Do-hee, the party members all start adding words one by one.
Actually, there was no point in talking among party members like this.
Well, the person I would take with me was already decided from the beginning.
I turned my head and looked at the blue-haired girl who was looking at me blankly.
“Ichika.”
“Oh—yes.”
When her name was called, Ichika raised her hands with an expressionless face.
When one of the two positions was filled, the momentum became sharper.
I was worried that there would be a fight if I wasted time, so I called the next person without delay.
“Autumn senior.”
Then, everyone widened their eyes as if it was absurd.
Even the person whose name was called.
Lim Ga-eul looked around with a puzzled face, then pointed at herself and asked.
“······To? Nana? “Is it true, junior?”
I smiled and nodded gently.
“Yes, I really need the power of Senpai and Ichika for this quest. No, it’s Senpai and Ichika. “If it weren’t for those two people, I would have refused this quest in the first place.”
Then Lim Ga-eul opened his eyes the size of a flower lantern and opened his mouth.
* * *
After saying that she would leave tomorrow, Lim Ga-eul returned to her room and lay down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling blankly.
“······Is it a dream again?”
Pinch.
“Ouch!”
It hurts.
“Oh, what is it? “It’s not a dream this time…?”
Jin Yu-ha called himself a party member to go with.
As far as she remembers, this is the second time Jin Yu-ha has asked her for help.
When asked to absorb the power of the Black Magic Stone during vacation. It was the first time since then.
Of course, I heard something like that once in the forest of Jukai.
I was deceived by the illusion revealed by Incubus.
In fact, this time I took the Fire Dragon’s Elixir. Even though she was much stronger than before, she wasn’t very confident.
She not only became stronger
Because those monster-like juniors have all become stronger together.
Therefore, as soon as she found out that there was a limit to the number of people in this request.
She gave up early.
If someone were to choose two people in Utopia, one of those two people would definitely not be them.
‘But, me?’
On the contrary, if it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have accepted this request!
This time it wasn’t even an illusion of an incubus.
It’s real.
“······································································· Really. “Can I be of help?”
Czarre─
A feeling of excitement running down my spine.
My body is shaking without control.
A deeper sense of pleasure came over her than when she took the precious fire dragon elixir.
Lim Ga-eul is by nature the type of person who feels happy when she gives something to others.
However, the kids around me must be so outstanding.
By the way.
─ Yes, in this quest, you really need the power of Senpai (and Ichika). No, if it weren’t for my senpai (and Ichika, you two), I would have refused this quest in the first place.
Jin Yu-ha’s voice speaking with a serious face a moment ago was played.
Hehe…”
That Jin Yuha needs him,
She was able to smile happier than ever.
“Lol······. I hope tomorrow comes soon…”
Gaeul Lim buried her face in her pillow and grinned.
