50. Let me know your failures (5)
Preparations for attacking the 15th floor were progressing smoothly.
Sub-weapons were provided to the 3rd party personnel, and the existing equipment was further reinforced. Apparently, the 3rd party members were also spending a long time at the training center like us, strengthening their strength.
“Aren’t you supposed to use some number?”
Iolka, who was running along the track, said.
I think my stamina has improved enough to talk to me while running.
“If we keep going like this, we’ll catch up. I don’t know. Do it yourself.”
“I’m on my own. If you want to change the party, I won’t stop you.”
“I don’t want to go to people like that. It makes me feel bad.”
“Then wait. Until the opportunity comes. Have you learned enough to use telekinesis?”
“Of course. What do you look at me for?”
Iolka’s eyes glowed blue.
A sandbag placed in the corner of the training ground floated in the air.
Casting on the move in the shadowless window. The stat window also had a skill called low-grade telekinesis. Compared to when I first came, it was a great improvement. It’s still like that for fire magic.
I toured the training ground.
Members of party 1 are running after me. The 2nd party is training formation on the left side of the training ground. The third party was abused on the right side under the guise of Dalian. In the corner, a few 1-stars who couldn’t fit in anywhere clumsily swung their swords.
More than twenty active people.
The training ground, which only felt wide, now seems narrow. Free draws are also held from time to time, and the number of people in the waiting room is currently saturated. It was time to slowly build the 3rd stage facility.
‘It doesn’t look like he’s thinking of that.’
After clearing the 10th floor, some facilities that could not be built were opened.
But none of them were made.
I sighed and continued running.
The members of the 3rd party, led by Norkin, began to reveal their true colors as if they had noticed that the Master favored them. It was still a trivial act of coercing Chloe to get more meat side dishes or stealing a seat on the sofa in the lobby, but if they succeed in conquering the 15th floor, it will become serious.
a few days later
[Party 3, gather at the plaza!]
Issel’s voice echoed throughout the waiting room.
“Hehe, is it finally?”
Norkin muttered as he hit the wooden doll at the training ground.
There was an indescribable feeling of joy on his face.
“Let’s go. Is there anything special?”
Winard snapped the knuckles of his fists.
It was a look of confidence.
‘Looks like the downstairs was worth it.’
As the mission selection is random, it may take an exceptionally low difficulty.
They don’t seem to know that there is a boss stage on every 5th floor. I was never told, so it was natural.
ping!
I heard the sound of the wind tearing somewhere.
I looked away.
An arrow was flying near his left shoulder.
I was in the middle of training. His shield and sword were hanging down.
“Brother, danger…”
I let go of the sword and grabbed the arrow with my bare hands.
The skin was rubbed and a little blood flowed. At the same time, a refreshing sensation spread through her mind. A familiar feeling you get when your skill level up.
[Teeling!]
[‘Han (★★)”s ‘throwing defense’ increases to Lv.2.]
“What’s dangerous?”
“……Nothing.”
I threw away the arrow in my right hand and returned the sword to its scabbard.
“Today’s training ends here. There is a good spectacle, but you can’t miss it.”
“Come to think of it, it looks like the 3rd party is going out.”
“Will you come too?”
“If my brother goes.”
“Me too, me too.”
Jenna and Aaron folded their weapons.
Iolka is in the middle of her telekinesis training in the magic hall. She chose not to interfere.
There were quite a lot of people gathered in the square.
Auxiliary workers such as Chloe and Enoch are also included. I’ve seen a sight similar to this before. It was time for the maned wolves to compete.
Edith, who had arrived earlier, muttered.
“No one was there when we went to the 10th floor.”
“That’s good.”
I sat down on a suitable bench.
Beside them, Jenna and Aaron were seated.
[receive!]
Issel, who pulled the cart out of the warehouse, threw the potion at the 3rd party members.
Norkin accepted the vial with the red liquid oozing out of it. Then the potion went up and down in the air. A total of 3 potions.
[Carry ‘Low Life Potion’ to ‘Nokkin (★★★)’!]
[Give ‘Winard (★★★)’ the ‘Low Life Potion’… … .]
“It’s a hard can.”
Jenna pouted.
The raw material for that potion we gathered in the daily dungeon. I didn’t even get involved in the potion making process. Amkenna made just three out of over 10 bursts in total. It was a natural result since there was no professional alchemist.
“To think we’d give something we’ve been looking for to someone else. Even the Master is too much.”
“It’s the material, you just have to dig it up again.”
“is it so.”
[Open the space-time gap!]
rattle.
The door in front of the plaza opened.
The two first-stars, who were all intimidated, went inside first. Then, the three-star position began. Two enter, and Norkin, the leader, is the last.
Before entering, Norkin looked at me and said.
“You, this baby, cheeky cub! Let’s come back. Tell the master to confuse it. Leave it.
Norkin, who had finished speaking, entered as if to run away.
The door is closed.
“…”
“Are you popular?”
Edith laughed as she poked my side with her elbow.
‘If I can come back.’
I laughed too.
As Norkin said, we’ll see what happens.
“What if those people succeed?”
Aaron, who was sitting still, said.
He was calm on the outside, but his eyes were shaking.
“What if I break the 15th floor?”
“yes.”
“I have to lift the suspension. Because I can go to the goal.”
The chance of the 3rd party breaking the 15th floor is not 0%.
The difficulty of Pick Me Up is generally difficult, but an easy mission may come out with a very low probability. There were often cases where the party sent to die cleared the mission.
If that happens with less than 1% chance, our strike will be useless. Amkena will be confident in her thoughts, and the need to leave us alone is gone.
“If they come back, listen to Master. Don’t rebel.”
Of course, by then I will be synthesized.
The promise is over.
I sat on the bench and waited for the results.
The people gathered in the square returned to their original places. An expression of anxiety appeared on his face. It seemed he didn’t want them to come back.
About 5 minutes after the third party entered the 15th floor.
Most of the people in the plaza had left. I couldn’t see how the mission was going. It was clear that the crisis had not yet arrived. A message indicating a status abnormality is… … .
“hmm?”
Messages floated in succession along with sound effects.
[Mission Failed!]
[Target – Annihilate]
[‘Nokkin (★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Winard (★★★)’ returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Zellan (★★★)’ returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Rover Il(★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Jian(★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Party 3’ has been wiped out.]
[You Lose!]
Less than 10 minutes had passed since I entered.
‘Was it a special mission?’
5 people died at the same time.
There was no bleeding or moribund condition that would appear before death.
Kugoong!
A momentary vibration occurred throughout the waiting room.
Jenna staggered from her seat.
“What, what is it? Why all of a sudden…”
Paper weave!
A blue current flowed along the walls of the plaza with a sound like something bouncing.
Isel came out with a pale face and said.
[Master threw the phone away.]
“I see.”
[Master, do you want to close the connection?]
[Yes / No]
[Then goodbye!]
Amkena closed the connection.
Isel grabbed my clothes and stretched them.
[I think I’m in real trouble, what should I do!]
“There are a lot of people watching, so let it go.”
After removing the isel from the crotch of my pants, I told people who saw me.
“The spectacle is over. Let’s go back.”
“How about a third party?”
“It is annihilation.”
Instead of clearing it, it was swept away as soon as it started.
You wouldn’t have gotten any hints about clearing the 15th floor.
It was dog death.
Edith muttered in a broken voice.
“It hasn’t been long since I entered.”
“That’s probably the only thing they’re capable of.”
Anyway, the business is over.
There was no need to remain in the square. I went back to my inn
After that, Amkena did not log on for a long time.
Issel came to my room every evening and whimpered what to do.
Crying doesn’t change anything. Whatever the situation, I do what I can. It was the first principle I established for survival here.
Daily life has not changed.
Wake up in the morning and train after breakfast. training after lunch. Training until evening again. It’s been a long time since I didn’t go to practice. In order not to lose sense, Dalian was conducted with real weapons.
A week passed.
Except for the main members, the first stars began to unravel. It is because the fear of synthesis has disappeared. The number of people active in the training ground has been drastically reduced. Even the daily dungeons that they voluntarily went to did not go any more except for a few people.
And time passed again.
10 days as a waiting room date. In reality, one day when I was disconnected for more than 3 days.
Suddenly, the sky lit up.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
A familiar connection message came to mind.
‘… … You’re here.’
was waiting
[Loading has finished.]
[TOUCH ! (selection)]
It was deep in the morning.
I am the only one left at the training camp.
pop! Perbung!
A series of flashes broke out in the brightly lit sky.
[click!]
[I took a screenshot. The image is stored in the gallery.]
[Master, do you want to close the connection?]
[Yes / No]
[Then goodbye!]
Amkena, who logged in after a long time, took a screenshot and left.
It took less than a minute from login to logout.
I put the sword in the scabbard.
Leaving the tattered wooden doll behind, I left the training center. He said as he walked briskly.
“Isel!”
[Mmm.]
Isel appeared rubbing his eyes. Instead of her usual black dress, she was wearing a pajama with a white cat on it and a fur hat on her head.
[Why are you calling me? I was sleeping… … .]
What is it?
“Master has connected.”
[Yes, Master… … What?!]
Isel opened her eyes and looked around.
[Where are you? where are you!]
“I just left.”
[It’s been a while since I came in, why didn’t you do anything? I really hope to stop… … .]
“I didn’t do anything. I took a screenshot.”
[Why the screenshot?]
“Why would you take a picture?”
You want to leave a commemorative picture?
It can’t be. I closed the door
Isel was looking at me with eyes full of questions.
“What are your hobbies, Isel?”
[You answered the other day that you were surfing the web. Ask why?]
“That means you can access the Internet.”
[That’s natural. what?]
Issel tilted his head.
I said.
“I need you to help me.”
At this point, I can only think of one reason to take a screenshot.
I went to the strategy cafe to ask.
