Chapter 35 – 35. Men Become Friends by Fighting (6)
***
I came to the classroom in the combat school area with Pamela to take an actual sparring class.
It is called a classroom because it is a place where sparring classes are held, but the classes are held in a building that is similar to a gymnasium.
The difference is that there were several square sparring halls set up at regular intervals within the building.
“Everyone has gathered well. Is everyone already aware? I am Delt, who is in charge of this class.”
“This is Professor Delt, who was in charge of supervising the entrance exam…”
“The face is still a bit scary.”
“I guess it’s because I have a scar over my eye.”
“Hey, isn’t that scar cool?”
“Quiet!”
Delt quieted the whispering cadets and continued talking.
“The content of this class is very simple. Each person finds a partner and spars to improve their skills. It doesn’t matter if it’s one-on-one or many-on-many. If you want, I can deal with you myself.
I know very well that those of you who have taken this class are the kind of people who can’t sit still and develop or support from the rear because they get sick of it. So… Show off your skills to your heart’s content! Over!”
As soon as Delt’s explanation ended, the other cadets each found a partner and were observing the atmosphere without sparring.
As expected, it is already an event that must occur first during sparring time.
It was to watch a sparring match between me and Atsubal.
“Lee Si-han!”
And as everyone expected, Atsubal came forward and called my name.
“Come out!”
“Si, Mr. Sihan…”
“Go and come back.”
Just like Atsubal, he came forward and spoke to Delt.
“Professor Delt, so that everyone can get more excited about sparring, Atzval Genedic and I will spar first.”
“Yes, it’s good. Watching other people’s sparring also helps with growth.”
Assval and I went up to the sparring hall and faced each other.
Delt and the other cadets surrounded the sparring hall and prepared to take a look.
When I glanced around, I saw Shu Yeonhwa looking at me with a grin.
“You will see an orb in the center of the sparring room! Bring your hands to the orb, infuse a little magic power, and then start sparring!”
As Delt said, there was a towering pillar in the center of each sparring hall and an orb resting on top of it.
When I approached the orb with Atsubal and gently injected magic into it, the orb gave off a soft light and then fell into the floor of the sparring hall with a movement.
The next moment, a transparent film was created at the border of the sparring hall.
‘Ah, it’s similar to the space that appeared during the sparring event.’
There is no pvp content in Lucedia Phantasm.
However, there were many cases where tournaments were held against gacha character NPCs or extra NPCs as part of the event story.
And every time such an event takes place, we move to a space where a translucent curtain is spread over a square ring, and this sparring room felt exactly like that.
I immediately raised my head and looked upward.
There is no translucent membrane on the ceiling.
I was wondering what if a film formed on top due to the short height, but I don’t think there’s any need to worry.
If there had been one, it would have been difficult to sing the song.
The membrane surrounding the sparring hall can be pierced with a piercing skill, but if there is a problem with the device that creates this membrane, it can be a headache.
I widened the distance again and took out the new moon spear from my inventory.
“Let’s begin.”
“Yes. You will feel rewarded for your practice…”
Pajik! Squeeze! And electricity erupted in Atsubal’s hands.
“I’ll show you my power!”
Atsubal Genedic’s weapon is not a large staff like Pamela, but a thin and short magic staff.
But that’s just a story that happens in the equipment window.
In fact, when Atsubal’s attack motion or skill motion begins, the staff disappears altogether.
Here, Atsval showed his first basic strike motion without taking out his staff, perhaps because he placed more emphasis on what the player actually sees rather than setting up the game equipment.
“Ha!”
When Atsuval swings his arms with enthusiasm, a blue ball of electricity flies forward.
By combining my knowledge of basic attack motions, which I had grown tired of while playing Artsval, and my spear mastery, I was able to narrow the distance by easily dodging Artsval’s attacks.
“Ha!”
Then, the swinging arm is raised upward and electricity flies out with the second normal strike motion.
Of course, this can also be easily avoided.
“Take it!”
As expected, after the second flat hitting motion, Atsubal shows the last flat hitting motion swinging the lifting arm downward.
What comes out with the last flat attack motion is not an electric orb.
It’s a joke!
It is blue lightning that strikes from above the enemy.
Percussion!
He immediately kicked the ground and stepped back.
There is a way to get into Atsubal’s arms and attack him, but if you win that easily, it will be difficult to recruit Atsubal.
‘Since the basic attack motion is over, is it skill next? Or a strong attack?’
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, Atsubal raised her arms up again.
“Huh?”
“Take it!”
Then he performed a third normal hitting motion again.
Of course, since this is an attack I already know, I dodge to the side this time.
Since you can use skills continuously, you can of course do normal attacks as well.
‘Okay, now that we’ve widened the distance enough, this time I’ll use a strong attack or a skill…’ .’
“Take it!”
‘What?’
Contrary to my expectations, Atsubal used the third normal attack motion again.
Haha! Why are you doing that? As a spearman, you can’t show off your skills if you don’t get close!”
Atsval is smiling triumphantly as he sees me dodging the attack again.
“Well, you won’t be able to access my magic easily!”
However, Atsval’s confident voice did not properly reach my ears.
The only thing that comes to mind is doubt.
The question is why Atsuval only uses normal attacks.
‘You’re a character that stacks up stock and deals damage!’
Traits for Artzbal Genedic.
So to speak, there is a unique passive skill.
Lightning brand.
You can stack stock up to 12 times, and the way to stack stock is to use strong attacks and skills.
Each time the stock accumulates, the damage given by Artsval increases.
Since the Lightning Brand has a limited time, the standard way to use it is to build up as much stock as possible within the set time, then continuously use strong attacks and skills to build up new stock to extend the duration and inflict enormous damage with the final skill.
In addition, the lightning brand deals lightning attribute damage while it lasts and grants dot damage.
Atsuval’s final skill, Thunderstorm of Punishment, is designed to increase the damage rate explosively when 6 or more stocks are stacked, and as a unique effect, the damage multiplier increases depending on the size of the enemy.
Thanks to this characteristic, Atsubal was hired even before the Demon Lord of Chaos, who was also a huge boss.
In addition to the damage caused by stock accumulation, the special attack effect of the enemy with the huge characteristic unique to Artsval’s final skill.
Thanks to this effect, we were able to see the scene where most large field bosses or event bosses are sent away in one hit by applying buffs and debuffs, building up stock, and using Thunderstorm of Punishment.
[Look.]
-†Thunderstorm of condemnation†!

ㄴMiddle school 2nd class shikki ㅉㅉ
ㄴBut it was cool, right?
ㄴWhy are you making such a fuss about filming a movie in high quality again, you idiot?
ㄴ Statement of conviction. Honestly, it was cool.
ㄴ There is something about Atsubal that makes you cringe but still stimulates your heart.
Why doesn’t he wear an eye patch?
ㄴIf you do that, you become a parkuri.
ㄴ(Swallow by darkness meme)
ㄴDog memories haha
While reminiscing about happy memories for a moment, I focused my attention on a scene I couldn’t understand at the moment.
‘Why aren’t you using any of your skills? At least use strong attacks.’
Haha! They destroyed the bandits, but it still doesn’t work for me! Where did that confident attitude go? I’m still there!”
Atsubal spread his palm wide and covered his mouth.
“You didn’t even use the skills properly!”
‘Ah.’
I found out why Atsuval wasn’t using his skills.
It’s for ‘coolness’.
Even if you use your powerful skills right away, you won’t be in good shape.
So, first of all, I wanted to portray a ‘cool version of myself’ who can subdue or toy with the opponent using only normal attacks.
Conclusion.
‘I need to give a little sense of crisis.’
They certainly don’t attack and just dodge, so they might look down on them.
In that case, you just need to create a situation to use the skill.
But you shouldn’t just rush in.
Let’s match the rhythm of Atsubal to some extent.
“Heh.”
“What? Why are you smiling?”
“I just figured out your attack pattern. Ordinary attacks won’t work anymore.”
After a brief pause, he aimed his spear at Atsubal.
“Be prepared.”
Twitch, twitch, the corner of Atsuval’s mouth went up.
“Hot! Really? You’re just looking? That’s right! You destroyed the bandits! You can’t possibly have done something like this! Show me your skills! I’ll overwhelm you!”
Atsubal was very excited as he enjoyed the atmosphere.
Yeah, I thought you would like this kind of conversation.
He pulls the spear back, lowers his body, and gently places his left hand on the blade of the spear.
There is no special meaning in posture.
Among the poses of spear magicians from subcultures, I just adopted a pose that seemed plausible to Atsubal.
Thanks to spear mastery, you can show appropriate movements even in this posture.
Percussion!
Maintaining his stance, he kicked the ground and immediately narrowed the distance between him and Atsubal.
“Tsk… !”
I can see Atsubal’s face looking embarrassed as he suddenly approaches me.
I extend the spear I had pulled back towards Atsubal’s face.
If you hit it according to its trajectory, the spear will pierce Atsubal’s head.
So, I adjust my speed just barely so that Atsubal can avoid it.
Atsbal narrowly dodged the outstretched spear by tilting his head.
“Ugh! A thunderbolt of punishment!”
Atsubal’s arms were spread wide and he used a range skill that focused on himself and attacked nearby enemies.
I quickly stepped back and dodged several lightning bolts that struck directly above my head.
Kwarung! The lightning struck and spun and spread out as if dancing.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
Atsubal looks at me with a slightly nervous expression.
The spear attack aimed at the face must have been quite irritating.
Of course, it is my role to eliminate that tension or fear.
“I was thinking of stopping if I couldn’t dodge it, but… I guess they dodged that level of attack.”
The opponent is Atsubal, who lives in style and the desire to show off.
So, if you say it this way.
“Of course. Did you think such a slow attack would work on me? Hot! Don’t underestimate me!”
Because I’m going to show off like that.
Atsubal’s skills were put to use.
From now on, Atsubal will also actively use his skills.
Otherwise, you’ll be exposed to the same close attack you just did.
So from now on it’s real.
‘It’s a sparring match for the Atsubal recruitment.’
In return for creating a cool sparring match, Atsuval, you must join my group.
And I’ll hit you with the damage cycle that has become a standard in the game.
Bravo!
“W-what is it? Why do I suddenly have chills…”
“Go, Atsubal Genedic.”
“Yes, yes! Come as often as you like!”
