Chapter 30 – 30. Men Become Friends by Fighting (1)
“That guy destroyed Velkendan?”
“Really?”
“Aren’t you bluffing?”
“No, you’re too confident to call it bluff?”
After hearing the commotion for a moment, I asked Yatsval.
“But why are you asking that?”
“There was a lot of noise at the academy this morning, so I looked into it. I found out who the guy who single-handedly destroyed the bandit group was. I went to the adventurer branch of Lucedia Academy. Then I heard that his name was Sihan Lee?”
“I see.”
I never thought I’d go to the adventurer’s guild in the morning just because I was curious.
As expected, Atsuval is a character with excellent action skills.
“What on earth were you thinking about destroying the bandits? Huh?”
“If the bandits are destroyed, will something bad happen?”
“No! Not at all! It’s good! It’s actually a good thing! But… I don’t understand why you did that on your own. “What on earth were you thinking?”
At Subal’s question, the classroom became quiet again.
Everyone is waiting for my answer.
Really.
Artsval was adding a very good vibe to my promotion.
“It’s for practice.”
“Practice? You destroyed the bandits through practice?”
“Yes. It was necessary practice for me.”
“What on earth are you practicing…” ” ! Huh?”
Atsbal paused for a moment, stroked his chin, thought deeply, and then opened his mouth.
“No way… You… Practice against bandits just because I have a sparring match tomorrow… !”
It’s because of skill practice, but I don’t say yes or no, just that.
“Hmph.”
He exhaled lightly.
“Ha, haha, yes… That’s right?”
Twitch, twitch, the corner of Atsuval’s mouth went up.
“You thought that a group of bandits would be an opponent you could fight only for practice?”
Atsubal Genedic.
The personality of this character is that he has a strong desire to show off.
Look! This is my power!!! I like being acknowledged by others and showing off my power to the point where I say the same thing.
In addition, his slightly hot-blooded side is reflected in Rupan’s character, where he is strong and likes to show off, but is slightly lacking in intelligence.
For Atzbal Genedic, being recognized by others.
It was a great feeling more than anything to receive a good evaluation of my skills.
As proof.
Atsubal Genedic, who was in a bad mood just now, is making a futile effort to somehow hide his happy expression, with the corners of his mouth his his twitching his as he wonders where he has gone.
If I were to pick the reason why Atsval first showed a harsh attitude towards me.
1. During the entrance exam, I received attention because I defeated the summoned golem the fastest.
2. Because he said that I was more talented and stronger than him.
However, these two reasons were actually used as factors that made Artsbal feel better now.
Because I made a promise to spar with myself.
I have practiced enough to destroy the bandits.-〉I see myself as an opponent who needs a lot of practice.-〉I am so strong and amazing that I need to practice to destroy the bandits alone.
This chain of accidents is probably happening to Atsubal right now.
I’m currently in a good mood, but I’m trying to hold back the twitching corners of my mouth because it’s not cool to show it openly.
Even so, you can see everything.
“Si-Sihan… That person suddenly gets angry and then laughs. Why is he doing that?”
Pamela, who doesn’t really know Atsval, couldn’t understand Atsval’s behavior and asked me.
“Who, who laughed!”
“Hey! I’m sorry!”
Atsbal covered the corner of his mouth and massaged the corner of his mouth a few times to keep it from rising, then stretched out his finger towards me.
“Hmph! You’ll definitely have to do that to deal with me! But don’t think that you can beat me after barely defeating a group of bandits! I understand…”
“Everyone, please take your seats.”
“Ugh!”
Before Atzval could finish speaking, Roderick entered the classroom.
“Atsubal Genedic. What are you doing? Go and sit down.”
“… I understand.”
As I was walking to my seat, I heard Atsval’s very regretful muttering.
“I wish I had said a little more… “
After confirming that all the cadets were seated, Roderick began class.
“Last time, we talked about the seven attributes and holy water. Then this time, let’s talk about special attributes in addition.”
Special properties.
It refers to properties that exist individually in addition to the basic water, fire, wind, electricity, earth, light, and darkness.
This includes ice and grass attributes.
These two properties are new properties that did not appear until quite late in Rupan.
Rather than appearing to change the game balance, it feels like a new patch was added to sell characters with the corresponding attribute.
Of course, as properties were added, new fields were also created to fit the concept.
Such as a major forest or a snowy mountainous region of a country that is only revealed later.
In Rupan, there is no particular linkage between attributes.
Instead, there is a setting that says monsters in certain areas especially receive more damage from certain attributes.
And Rupan viciously makes enemies in newly opened fields and mobs in the ongoing event story have certain attribute weaknesses.
I really used the method of picking up character gacha, which is the weak attribute.
Of course, even if a character you have already raised doesn’t have the right attributes, you can still get enough damage…
When a post was posted showing off a video of picking up a pick-up character and delivering more than enough and overwhelming damage, it ignited the competitive spirit of hacker users like me.
As I was recalling the nostalgic memories of the past, Roderick’s explanation of the special properties was coming to an end.
“This is the end of the explanation of the special properties. Next, I will explain the regenerative power.”
‘Regenerative power?’
A word I didn’t know at all came out.
This is the first word I’ve heard since I’ve been playing Rupan for over 10 years.
‘You must listen to this!’
I focused and listened to Roderick’s words.
“Many of you may already know this. But I hope you listen as a review. Monsters that live near villages or cities, such as goblins, orcs, and heavy snakes, can be caught relatively easily. Like ordinary people, you can shoot arrows or pierce their hearts. If you cut off your head, you immediately lose your life.
However, along with strong monsters, those who have reached a certain level recover immediately even if they receive serious wounds. This is called regenerative power. Since you haven’t gained regenerative power yet, I’ll show you a demonstration myself.”
Roderick took a dagger out of his arms and rolled up his sleeves.
“Like this.”
Then, without hesitation, he cut his own forearm with a dagger.
A straight wound appears on Roderick’s arm and blood begins to flow.
But soon, the wound healed as if in reverse, and only the blood that flowed out was staining Roderick’s arm.
Roderick further took his handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped away the blood, and the rest of his forearm was clean as if there had never been a wound in the first place.
“Because I have reached a certain level, I also have regenerative powers. I can recover on my own from a normal stab wound. Of course, a wound where a part of the body is amputated can only be fully recovered if the kidneys recover.
And the regenerative power is stronger in monsters than in people. For example, the ogre that appears near Lucedia Academy is a representative monster with strong regenerative power.”
After listening to Roderick’s explanation, I think I understand what regenerative power means.
“In the case of an ogre, even if the heart is pierced or the arm is amputated, if the wound does not exceed a certain level, the pierced wound will immediately heal and the arm will regenerate. For this reason, there is a saying that when dealing with a powerful monster, do not let down your guard and keep attacking even if you attack a vital point. 〈 Br〉
Every year, there are adventurers who lose their lives because they let their guard down because they thought they had won by just piercing the heart. Please be mindful not to make that mistake.”
The regenerative power was, so to speak, blood.
If you think about it, no matter how much the monsters in the game go, the more physical they become.
I have a piercing skill, so wouldn’t it be okay to pierce the heart once? I also thought.
But somewhere in my heart, I felt that I couldn’t let down my guard.
It would be nice if everything went smoothly, but things don’t work out that easily.
If you can easily kill everyone with piercing, when dealing with the Demon Lord of Chaos, you can use the piercing skill on the perfect spear without even thinking about the fixed member party, and it will be over in no time.
However, the quest notification window that popped up after entering school told me to gather a group of 6 people.
The game’s fixed play party size is 6 people instead of 4.
As if to say that at least that many people are needed.
And as if my sense of ominousness was correct, the concept of regenerative power suddenly appeared in front of me.
“Then, if you want to deal with a monster with strong regenerative power…”
A notification window appeared simultaneously with Roderick’s explanation.
[You have met the conditions for acquiring regenerative power.]
[Regeneration has been added to the learnable skills.]
‘Adding skills?’
I can’t believe I can get the skill just by listening to the explanation.
I quickly opened the skill window.
Regenerative power was placed in the skill list with a slightly dim feeling, like other unacquired skills.
[Regeneration: Recovers wounds in proportion to stamina level. When you receive an attack that exceeds your stamina at once while regenerative power is available, damage is reduced. Points required to be acquired 5]
Acquisition points at the same level as a perfect song.
But.
‘I must get this.’
Regenerative power is a passive skill that is equivalent to spare blood.
There is no reason not to get it even though it is not limited play.
I immediately acquired regenerative power using points.
Then, like other skills, the display changed from dark to clear and changed to read Regenerative Power (F).
When I acquired the power of regeneration, a thought suddenly passed through my head.
‘For a moment. If it’s a penetration skill… Isn’t it possible to penetrate the monster’s regenerative power or something like that?’
Wouldn’t such an ambiguous concept be possible if it were a penetrating skill that penetrates even completely unimaginable things, such as praise tolerance, rejection, and doubt?
That’s when I thought about it.
[Warning: We have detected a potential threat to the providence of the world.]
‘What?’
[The moment this possibility is realized, it causes fatal damage to the providence of the world: regenerative power.]
[World Providence: Consequences when regenerative power is damaged.]
[World collapse.]
[Do you want to run the possibility?]
A warning was sent telling me not to do anything foolish because if I use a trick, everyone will be searched.
