Chapter 4 – Episode 4- Dalian

“Huh~”

Violet sighed and looked around.

‘Catch me’

Boring and boring

Violet was always in a state of boredom.

No matter what she does, her talent for quickly awakening and getting ahead of others has led to numerous ‘correct answers’, and the process of checking the correct answers she already knows always gives her boredom.

But she doesn’t hate her talent.

This is because she knows very well that this boredom, this leisure, is a by-product only allowed to ‘excellent’ people.

That’s why she loves her boredom.

Her sense of boredom even serves as a driving force to further develop her talent by gathering a lot of information to block out any ‘variable’.

‘This is already my first place~.’

Violet looked at her alumni in the education and training building and thought.

In the semi-ranking match, one must always be in first place.

There is a strong possibility that a ‘variable’ will occur the moment the benefits and the right to speak given to the first place are given to others.

In order to do so, she carefully sought out new students who might become an obstacle to her.

And there are only two freshmen in this class.

Glance.

Aris, a red-haired woman with pigtails, comes into her field of vision.

Jeong Jo-joon, a man who muttered something in the air and appeared noisy.

The former had great talent as a shooter, so he prepared a countermeasure in advance, and the latter, without ‘any’ information, worried about whether it could be the biggest variable.

After muttering with a stupid face, Violet smiled and thought as she saw Jung Joon, who suddenly drew a sword from the subspace and expressed admiration.

Apparently, worrying about that man was unfounded. That’s right, I don’t feel any ‘mana’ in that man.

That man, who couldn’t even feel any mana, was already in last place in this class.

Because everyone in this class can already handle ‘mana’.

By the way…

Glance.

With her red pigtails flowing, Aris secretly peeks at Jung Joon from far away.

‘It looks like Aris has Jung Joon in her heart’

Violet adds information about Aris to her mind.

That ‘shooter’ is one of the important cards that you should acquire in the future, so you should not neglect to collect such trivial information.

“The first couplet, Jung Joon. This god. Forward.”

Beep.

The names of Lee Shin and Jung Jo-jun appear on the display board in the education and training building.

“Ohhh!!”

Jeong Jo-joon looks at the electric signboard as if he is curious.

On the contrary, this god just calmly takes out the holster from his subspace and puts it on his waist without any emotion.

‘Already done’

According to the information he had selected, that Lee Shin was ‘5th’ in terms of skill in this class.

As long as there are no mistakes, this god will not get tired of Jeong Jo-jun.

And since this god has already taken out the holster and kept his composure, it is an obvious result.

‘Huh~ Do I really need to see this?’

She thought with her bored eyes as she climbed the large disc in the middle of the arena and looked at the two men on either side of her.

Beep!

And the moment the whistle blew to start the game.

She doubted her own eyes.

* *

“Oh oh oh, seeing in reality, the feeling of intimidation is not a joke, is it?”

The place where the homeroom teacher entered is the education and training building in Building B of the academy.

An enormous dome-shaped ceiling, a disc-shaped competition hall placed in the center, and a large electric signboard hanging at the end of one wall catches the eye.

“Now, the bracket for the anti-ranking match is floating on the electronic board over there, so take a look.”

Beep.

A mechanical sound came from the display board, and countless names appeared on the screen.

“Huh? Player! First order?”

As the angel following me fluttered and followed the direction he was pointing with his finger, I saw the words ‘1 ROUND This God VS Jeong Aim’.

“Ah, it’s a bit like when the main character comes out from the beginning~”

“Eight!

Ha~ Even the gods are so naive.

“Huh? But my sword…”

Originally, in the game, before entering this event, I didn’t have a sword, so I stopped at the gym and proceeded with a ‘wooden sword’, a secondary weapon.

“Whoa… Player? ‘Swordsman’? Swordsman? ‘Job’ is a swordsman!”

Hearing my self-talk just now, he snorts in excitement, and the angel gets excited.

“No way… Is it real?”

Chuck.

The angel held up four fingers without saying anything.

And I was well aware of those four letters of magic.

“Inventory.”

Tring!

An interface with squares arranged in a 6×6 shape comes to mind.

And the one that popped up in the top left corner.

The sword-shaped icon.

Could this be a ‘exclusive weapon’?

“Kheheheuk!”

Tears cover the front.

Ah, the swordsman’s job is to give away his sword like this for free…

Back in the day… It was just a ‘secondary’ weapon that you had to complete numerous quests to get the sword…

Tok.

Information is displayed when you touch the icon with your finger.

[A balanced iron sword.]

[Exclusive weapon]

It is a well-balanced iron sword.

Secondary effect: Attack power +5.

“Uh?!”

The moment I saw this sword, I couldn’t help but shout.

This is an open fire weapon.

That’s huge too.

Raises basic stats by 5! 5 me!

If the difference between these 5 is so great, since my strength stat is 10 right now, I can’t break stones with my grip. However, even if it goes up to 1, it changes to the point where you can easily break a stone with your grip. Can you feel the difference?

“Hey angel, does this make sense? There’s a ball 5 attached to the secondary effect?”

“Really? Wow! I’m sure you’re trying to add a lot of merit to being a prosecutor?”

“But why are you even starting to know me now?”

Are you worried about something?

“Ah, I’m going to ‘create’ the perks that players will receive in the future, I don’t know the details of the ‘arranged’ settings like that hehe…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Take the iron sword from Suuk’s inventory.

“Ohhh!”

As the name suggests, it is a well-balanced iron sword, and it has an impeccable sense of weight and grip.

No, they give you such a good weapon as a butt?

No matter how you think about it, it’s too suspicious.

If it’s a weapon with this level of spec, even a shooter or a person with special powers must go over at least 3 cards to receive it, right?

“Hey angel, isn’t this just eating me?

“Yes! Anyway, if you clear the demon king of this world, you can get enough causality!”

If they keep giving out rewards like this, even if it’s hard mode, they’ll just beat it?

Something is strange.

Doubts bubble up in my mind.

Even if you give 10 more as a test benefit to the basic stats given at first, this weapon creates anxiety as if something has crossed the line.

Hehe… Whatever it is, it’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten.”

Chuck.

However, satisfied with the grip of the charged sword in my hand, I let go of my doubts.

No, it’s a god game, but what’s the problem?

It’s wrong to have such bad doubts when you openly say that you will support the test. Cancer!

From now on, being a swordsman is an aristocratic job, like lowly shooters and people with special abilities!

Beep!

At that time, the electric signboard rings and my name is called.

“Ohhh!”

“Player! Fighting! Fighting!”

An angel holding a wad of cotton in her arms and cheering me on.

“Okay! Let’s go!”

With this sword! I can eat anything! Haha!!!

Ping! And a small badge that scatters golden light in the air descends and lands on my chest.

“Ah! The badge takes the damage you take instead, so don’t worry. And the moment the badge breaks, that guy loses.”

The homeroom teacher with a loudspeaker is speaking from the crowd in the distance.

“Let’s face each other at the end of the arena for both students.”

Jerk jerk

Facing the end of the arena, I met eyes with this god.

“Five.”

Eyes calmly sunken.

And looking at the holster tied around his waist, that guy is a shooter.

“Okay then, after 3 seconds, when the machine sounds, it’s a start.”

Swoop.

He removes the pistol from his holster and lowers the muzzle of his gun slightly.

This is a typical shooter’s low-ready stance.

In line with that, I slightly pull my left foot back and take the posture of foot swordsmanship, giving strength to my right foot.

First, you have to go with an intense performance.

Concentration.

Let’s see.

Beep!

As soon as a profound mechanical sound rang out, the guy moved.

The first thing you see is the guy’s eyes.

The unconditional shooter accurately sees the opponent’s ‘place to hit’ before shooting.

The target is near my right chest.

It is difficult to ascertain the exact location.

But it’s okay because the shooter continues to show the direction after that.

The shoulder moves and the muzzle is raised.

Correspondingly, I move my left foot and change my center of gravity.

The power that this god lifts from his shoulders is passed through his elbows to his wrists.

And right before pulling the trigger.

Trembling of the fingers.

Then I drew my knife.

Caang!

A heavy impact echoed in my grip, and the hand holding the sword was pushed back.

“What?”

Is something wrong?

It’s not ‘Ben’, this is ‘Right’

I hurriedly shifted my sight to the sword.

“Emmena!”

The nose of the stylish sword is crooked.

“Eh! No! My sword!”

This… How precious is this!!!

“?!”

As if he was surprised to have blocked the previous blow, that bad sword breaker also stared at me with his eyes wide open.

No, but what about the blow?

It went much faster than normal projectile speed.

No way.

“Manatan?”

I don’t know if you heard my murmur, but an angel from afar said, ‘Player! That’s manatan!!’

What? A kid who didn’t even know the ‘name’ in the game can use manatan from the start?

Do you think something is wrong with this?

The guy panics and returns to his low-ready stance.

It’s obvious that I’m getting ready again like that.

I’m trying to fire ‘Manatan’ again.

“Huh true.”

It’s ridiculous.

I never thought my brilliant first strike would be canceled like this.

Are you getting a little angry?

Bang!

The mana bullet fired by this god again.

Definitely cut this time

No matter how fast, ‘as far as I already know’, I can cut it.

Shuuk.

The savory feeling spreads from the fingertips to the palms.

‘I cut it.’

This one is for sure

Pak!

As if to prove my senses, I hear the sound of splitting bullets being driven into the back.

And the silence that comes.

Without saying a word, I pushed the sword back into the grip and looked at the crowd on the left with the best expression possible.

Ah… That shocked expression. Exciting.

In particular, Violet with her mouth wide open from the back had such a perfect expression that I wanted to take a picture.

“Uh… How?”

“Look and cut. That’s all.”

He speaks in a flat tone as if nothing is wrong.

Kiya~ Nice speech~

“Profit!”

This god guy grits his teeth and fires his gun.

This one was just fired without preparation, so it’s a normal bullet.

Seobik.

“Speak.. Nonsense..”

Realizing that the bullet is cutting again, he looks at me with a desperate expression.

I can’t speak

Tring!

At that moment, a cheerful sound echoes and a small interface window opens in front of my eyes.

[With the achievement of cutting bullets, a potential ability called ‘Sensation’ is added!]

Oh! A new ability was added.

I’ll have to finish it soon and go downstairs to check it out.

So let’s focus again.

In my sight, I hear this god giving strength to my wrist again.

‘Shoot.’

Match the timing and push the heels of both feet and fly the body to the side.

Of course, the bullet he fired cut through the air.

As soon as I landed the shot body on the floor, I immediately ran to him in a straight line.

This god hurriedly turned his gun and fired a bullet at me.

‘Two feet on the left’

It is a shooter’s basic skill, double tap.

In this case, simply push the sword up and cut one foot, then lower the strength of the wrist deeply to cut the rest of the bullets.

“Aaaaa!!!”

Lee Shin screams and trembles as he approaches close range.

Unlike the first time, his composure has disappeared and his eyes are filled with fear.

If that’s the case, it’s already over.

Shooter’s life is over when his composure is broken.

I slashed cleanly and cut through the back of the guy.

Quick!

And the golden badge on his chest shattered accordingly.

In this case, what should the prosecutor do?

Whirik Whirik Sreuk.

All you have to do is turn the sword around and put it in the scabbard.

“Don’t.. That’s ridiculous”

Hairy!

This god collapses on the ground in frustration.

Oh this angle.

This composition where the swordsman slashes and the slashed guy falls to the floor!

I really wanted to try it.

Big!

An overwhelming feeling resonates from the heart.

Yes! It’s an inspection!

“Kyaaak! Player! Cool!”

In the distance, an angel flutters and cheers.

Ahhh~ It’s a ‘cool’ explosion right from the start.

Shit.

I looked back at my classmates with the best expression on my face.

The thing that stood out the most was Violet’s mouth wide open than the expression we saw earlier.
