Episode 194 Week 10 Battle (1)
monday.
As I entered the class, I heard that Professor Lee Su-dok and Professor Seo Cheong-yong were out for a few days.
I guess he went to have a fight with the hostile forces.
My hope is that the faculty and staff, including Lee Soo-dok, will take care of those guys themselves, but that’s unlikely to happen.
‘The opposite is also true.’
If the guys I know are right, they’d rather avoid the situation than make a life-or-death decision.
So, the teachers stopped worrying about making mistakes.
The interpersonal class was taught by the monster ecology teacher, Ms. Cho Ok-sun.
Even though it wasn’t my specialty, I had no problem teaching first-year students.
However, if I had to name one problem outside of class, it would be that no matter what I teach, the students can’t stand it and just fall asleep.
Mrs. Cho Ok-soon looked around the scorched classroom as if nothing had happened.
“The theme of this year’s exhibition is also closely related to ecology.”
Then, write one word in large letters on the board, and write three more in smaller letters underneath it.
[environment]
[Friendly], [Neutral], [Hostile]
“The environment is divided into friendly, neutral, and hostile according to the nature. So what would be a friendly environment?”
Song Cheon-hye, who was barely holding back sleepiness, raised her hand.
“Is the fortress a friendly environment?”
“It depends on the position. Of course, from the perspective of a water tanker, the current environment is friendly.”
The Mercury side is protected by strong walls and engages in battle from advantageous high ground.
If it brings benefits to the friendly side, big or small, it is considered a friendly environment.
Mrs. Cho Ok-soon continued her explanation.
“Most of the environments you’ve encountered in PvP and strategy battles are ‘neutral environments’. Circular arenas, uninhabited islands, forests, caves. They don’t take sides. But what about hostile environments?”
If an uninhabited island were to slowly sink, or a cave were to continue to collapse.
They will be more concerned with immediate survival than fighting.
“Unfortunately, however, some of the dungeons you will encounter in the future will contain hostile environments like this.”
If you think from the perspective of a boss monster designing or defending a dungeon, it would be more efficient to set the dungeon environment itself to be unfavorable to invaders rather than placing mediocre monsters or traps.
‘All the bad guys use it too.’
“Therefore, I will spend the remaining semester trying to adapt to this hostile environment.”
The blackboard was wiped clean and the rules and environment for the game came to mind.
MAP:[Volcanic area]
RULE:[Death Match][Three-Way Battle]
“I don’t need to explain [Death Match] any further, do I?”
A rule that states that the match continues until the opponent is rendered incapacitated or a forfeit is declared.
Given that the volcanic zone there is a hostile environment,
‘The one who lasts the longest wins.’
“[Three-way battle] is a rule where three people are divided into three teams and fight head-to-head, as the word suggests.”
1 on 1 on 1.
If the existing 1-on-1 match was divided into winners and losers,
The three-way battle is divided into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
The first contestant to fall is in third place, the next is in second place, and the last survivor is in first place.
Points are lost or gained accordingly.
“Then I’ll take your questions. Do you have any questions?”
“… … .”
Mrs. Cho Ok-sun looked around the room and asked, but no one raised their hand.
Because the rules weren’t so difficult to understand that I had to ask questions about them.
After a brief pause, Mrs. Cho Ok-soon continued speaking in a soft tone.
“The good news is that we only have to play two games this week.”
Since the midterm exam was just last week, there may be students who are still not completely exhausted.
A good example is the human sloth lying on the side.
So this week we’re going to give ourselves a little bit of leeway with the two-game quota.
As Mrs. Cho Ok-sun was wrapping up the class,
I just checked the sub-quest that just arrived.
[Sub Quest: 10th Week PvP Battle]
▷Goal: Complete 2 rounds of PvP. (0/2 rounds)
▷Deadline: ~Sunday midnight.
▷Compensation: Paid differently according to rank.
The existing PvP sub-quests gave better rewards the more times you won.
The more times you win first place in Sampajeon, the better the rewards you get.
So my goal is, of course,
‘First place in both games.’
And it’s best to end this kind of thing early.
“Brother Kim.”
Go Hyun-woo also seemed to have the same thoughts as me and approached me, asking to go to the arena with me.
Meanwhile, the calligrapher had been lying face down since morning until now.
I felt like he would stay like that until the evening if I left him alone, so I lightly tapped the calligrapher’s arm.
“Excuse me, Miss. Get up. If you’re going to sleep, go to the dorm and sleep.”
“… … .”
“You must have slept all weekend. Are you still sleepy?”
“It’s not enough… … .”
“Not enough? What?”
When I asked, the calligrapher lifted her head slightly from her daze and opened her eyes 0.1 degrees.
Then he slowly reached out and gently grabbed my little finger.
“pillow…….”
“There’s a pillow in the dormitory, right? A tiger doll.”
“no…….”
His gray hair swayed very slowly from side to side, then fell back down.
I don’t know what it isn’t.
Go Hyun-woo looked at us two in turns and tried to get a sense of each other.
“If you do that, I’ll go first.”
“No, we’ll go together.”
It’s not something you can tolerate being teased forever.
And anyway, since it is an individual competition, there are only two matches allocated.
This means that calligraphers don’t necessarily have to play along with us.
So, Go Hyun-woo and I left the giraffe and left the classroom.
A weak voice was heard from behind.
“pillow…….”
* * *
There were fewer students in the arena than usual.
After watching the replay, I’m sure you’ll be tempted to give it a try to see just how hostile the [Volcanic Zone] is.
‘I don’t think there will be much difference.’
Whether you watch the replay or go in and watch it for yourself, it’s all the same.
It’s not worth spending 100 points just to explore the map.
Of course, if we do that, it’s not a bad thing for players like Nana and Ko Hyun-woo who are playing in advance, as they will earn a lot of points.
As I scanned my student ID, the terminal began searching for a suitable match.
[Kim Ho 608 points]
Go Hyun-woo said while looking at my score.
“Hyung Kim’s climbing momentum is scary. He’s already at 600 points.”
“You too, you got almost 900 points.”
“Haha, there isn’t much left.”
I won everything except the sticker battle.
Ko Hyun-woo has won all but a couple of games.
Because of this, the scores that were in the 300 and 600 ranges increased steadily to the 600 and 800 ranges.
Of course, since we will be facing such great opponents, it will become increasingly difficult to continue winning in the future.
As I was chatting with Ko Hyun-woo, it didn’t take long for a match to be made.
I burst out laughing when I saw the names on the scoreboard.
‘Why do all these names sound familiar?’
As we rode the teleportation magic circle into the stadium, we were immediately hit by a warm, stuffy air.
The main cause is likely to be the volcano nearby, which constantly spews black smoke and ash, and the rivers of lava that surround the stadium.
Soon, two more people appeared not far away.
As you can see from the scoreboard, both were spherical.
[Kim Ho 100%]
vs
[Kang Hee-chan 100%]
vs
[Son Hyung-taek 100%]
Kang Hee-chan is a longsword warrior who was paired with Cha Hyeon-ju in the midterm exam.
Cha Hyun-joo and Seon-gong walked up and defeated him easily, and later Seo Ye-in shot him dead with one shot.
Son Hyeong-taek was one of the mentees of senior Toad Kim Gap-du, and was defeated terribly by Song Cheon-hye in a Crystal match.
‘I ran away hard and was caught.’
However, as if the embarrassing memories from back then had long since been blown away, Son Hyeong-taek looked at me with burning fighting spirit.
Kang Hee-chan also looks at me with his eyes sparkling.
“I always wanted to try again when the opportunity arose, so I guess I’m lucky.”
“Are you sure you’re lucky?”
“Of course. This time it’s not a pairs event, it’s an individual event.”
When we passed the midterm exam, I think we won because of the calligrapher.
Well, it’s true that the spiral explosion isn’t very noticeable.
On the other hand, magic bullets are very visible to the eye, and they are also very painful.
“… … .”
Son Hyeong-taek kept his gaze fixed on me and made a suggestion to Kang Hee-chan.
“Kim Ho is more annoying than you. What about you?”
“I agree.”
Two people exchanged glances and then stared at me at the same time.
It looks like a tacit alliance has been formed.
Let’s deal with me first and then decide on 1st and 2nd place.
“They are all coming out so lethally.”
Now that it’s come to this, I have no choice.
There is no choice but to go out fatally.
[3]
[2]
[1]
[Start!]
– Kwakwakwakwang!
As soon as the game started, the volcano erupted and shook the earth.
Fireballs are fired upwards, and lava flows down below.
Either way, it will arrive here soon.
And Son Hyeong-taek and Kang Hee-chan,
“Got it!”
At the same time, he kicked the ground and rushed towards me.
The mindset to start with myself according to an unspoken agreement.
Kang Hee-chan, who approached first, swung his longsword horizontally, diagonally, and then horizontally again.
I back away from it, twist my body, and back away again.
I quickly moved a few more steps to the side,
– Papapapat!
This is because Son Hyeong-taek, who arrived later, sent a blast of wind.
“That guy was a bit of a jerk from the start.”
Even if it was inevitable in the Crystal match because the opponent was Song Cheon-hye, he put in a short fight even in this situation where it was almost like a 2 vs. 1 match.
It didn’t even seem like something he’d done once or twice.
– Papapapat!
He shoots out wind blasts very exquisitely without disturbing Kang Hee-chan.
This is what is called a skilled person’s short story.
Because the collaboration between the two was so exquisite, I had to retreat quickly and at a thieving pace.
But there were limits to backing down.
The area where the battle takes place is surrounded by a river of lava.
– Papapapat!
As I continued to dodge Kang Hee-chan’s sword strikes and Son Hyeong-taek’s wind blows, my back felt hot.
I glance over my shoulder and see lava bubbling just a few steps behind me.
Kang Hee-chan’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, perhaps thinking that he had finally cornered me.
“It’s over now!”
“Okay, wait a minute!”
“Where is the moment of victory?”
I raised one hand in a hurry, but he became excited and slashed with his longsword even more fiercely.
At the moment when a long scar was about to be carved into my upper body.
I slipped past Kang Hee-chan, taking thieving steps.
In an instant, our positions were reversed, and I lightly placed my hand on his back.
Kang Hee-chan’s face hardened as if he sensed an ominous future.
“Now, wait a minute.”
“Where is the moment in a match?”
– Boom!
Kang Hee-chan’s new form flew forward in an explosion of compressed wind.
And then I fell into the river of lava.
“Kuaaaah!”
