I'm supposed to fight Froze (Ice Room) and Duel, and I was given permission to break up with my temporary classmates and act alone in order to get ready for battle.
"... ha"
I was feeling a little depressed.
What makes you sad and recovering have to do shielding and PvP?
Nothing like this is anything but bullying from the side.
There are 10 basic job titles (jobs) in Cross Chronicle Online.
Swordsmen and sorcerers specializing in attack, warriors and knights specializing in defense, balanced martial artists, bandits and archers specializing in support, monks specializing in recovery, hobbyists deriving from various jobs such as bards and blacksmiths, tutors in special standing who do not belong to any of them.
These jobs are roughly defined by the skills that each can use.
Well, there are examples of bandits and knights acting as attackers that are not generally determined, but nevertheless the role is waved in the wind of monks recovering or covering, knights attacking or defending.
This means that monks have no reason to beat knights.
Moreover, monks in Croc do not have Attack Skills among the skills they can acquire in Level 1.
Once you get to level 3, you seem to be able to get Holy Magic, but it's probably MND-dependent attack magic, which is a useless long shot in my hands right now.
Well, the undead that comes out in the 'Mireille Grand Cemetery' near the town of Mireille seems to have healing magic and damage, so I guess it's possible for a monk to increase his level with solo even if he doesn't have attack skills, but that can also be described as a way of hunting that I can't do, just like Holy Magic.
Thoughts have slipped slightly, but as a result, I have to fight only STR0's poor, regular attacks.
But if it's a duel between levels one, you'll fight quite a bit.
"You look kind of hard, Ichinose."
…………
When I was thinking that way, I heard a woman's voice from behind me.
I already know who I am with that voice, and I look back in shame.
There was Sumitomo Asahina.
"Why are you here?"
"Mmm... you have permission from Dr. Hayakawa for once, right? And he said," It would be safer for two people, not one. "
"That teacher..."
Don't let your students get wheeled free in Earth, even if it's a different world.
I put myself up on the shelf, and I thought to myself, looking at Asahi Bina with a fuzzy face.
"And don't call me by my last name here. Call me by my character name."
Also, I protested to Asahi bina about how to call the name that I had been wondering about earlier.
This can be said to other classmates and Hayakawa Sensei, but isn't everyone despising their character names too much somehow?
I say this isn't a game, but if you're recommending a real name, I'd like to say something.
I'm in Earth. You're on Earth. I thought it was you.
In fact, it would be harder to think of it as almost identical, but I also wonder if it would be the same.
I'm not really Ichinose Shin right now.
It may be crap, but I want to think separately from Sin.
By the way, Dr. Hayakawa is Dr. Hayakawa.
I can't really like a teacher.
"Uh... Okay... Sin?
"That's fine."
That conveyed my thoughts, Asahina corrected my calling name.
"Then call me Mina, not Asahi bina, too. That's reciprocal."
"Okay."
Asahi Bina's name was supposed to be moonless, so she may normally use it as a nickname, but I have no hesitation in calling her that more than her character name on my retina is' Mina '.
"... so where are you going from now on?
"Armor store. We need to get geared up first."
Mina asked me that when she walked in front, so I gave her an instant answer.
I'm equipped with canes and robes right now, but honestly, there's no way I can fight a knight like this.
"That means to win, right? To you, Ice Room."
"Naturally. I'm not willing to lose under any circumstances."
I don't want to lose because of that, even if there is a Job Hande.
Do it or win.
"Uh, is that for me?
"No, not for you"
"Mmm..."
but that's not for Mina, who was celebrated in a way that came with winning or losing.
You only win because I hate losing.
"This duel wins for me. Don't get me wrong."
"... Oh well, good luck with that then - hey!
When I looked back at Mina and pressed her precautions, she started pointing at her pussy after making her mouth squeamish.
Did she think I was trying to protect Froze and the others from the party?
But what about that?
It's not like he's a bad guy.
"I mean, why me in the first place? I should have let you join them at their party."
I asked Mina.
If it's true, that place would have been rounded up by her joining Froze and the others at the party.
But it didn't, and as it turned out, I was framed for a duel.
That's why I wanted to know what she meant.
"It's... because you see me as an idol meena"
"Is that a bad thing?
"I'm sorry! I quit performing arts already!
"Oh well."
I don't know, but do you mean she doesn't want to be seen as an idol anyway?
I can understand Mina wanting to combine with me when I think about it.
Oh, my God, I'm not interested in her being an idol.
"And some of you know about the MMO exams because you heard Dr. Hayakawa and the others were rumouring about you in the morning. Well, I didn't know until I introduced myself because I just asked for the last name Ichinose."
…………
Wouldn't the privacy laws work for the schools we go to?
If the leak is too bad, there's no way to sue me.
"And you just now... because you seemed lonely"
…………
... So it was pity that invited me to the party?
That's tough.
My heart softens.
"Well... I don't care anymore. Anyway, I'm not willing to lose. Nice to meet you, Mina."
"Oh, yeah... hey, nice to meet you... Sin"
But I try not to put that on my face, and I offer my right hand to Mina.
Then she shook my hand, although she showed a slightly lost wind.
"Ah... warm"
"If it was a VR, it wouldn't have been possible to reproduce it so far."
In fact, although the current VR (Virtual Reality) technology is making progress year after year, it has not yet been able to reproduce the sensations of people such as tactile sensation and taste, and even if I touch something, I only feel like wearing gloves and touching it, and I don't feel like eating food is delicious.
But Earth, which is a different world, conveys external stimuli with exactly the same feeling as Earth.
Now, I recognised the obvious.
"... and here we are"
I got to the armor store while I was doing that.
We open the wooden door and enter the store.
"... hey, you have quite a lot of things to say about protective equipment"
Mina is whining when she sees the items on display in the store.
"There you are, young man. What are you looking for today?
In addition, an old man told us that the calendar had passed from the back of the store.
I guess this guy is also a native of the Earth world and not an NPC.
So you can't deal with it all the time.
"I'd like to see some gear for monks, but where should I look for 'heavy gear'?
"Well... heavy equipment... Lord, that's pretty good."
The old man pointed his finger at one compartment as he raised his mouth.
"... hey, what's heavy equipment?
"Heavy gear is a type of protective gear that can be worn by warriors, knights, monks and hobbyists, I wouldn't recommend it because otherwise when a job is equipped it will lose its performance"
Mina asked me a question from the side when I was looking for heavy equipment in the compartment where the old man pointed out his finger, so I'll explain it lightly.
"It's characterized by a negative correction to the speed of movement, although it's superior in defense compared to standard medium equipment."
"Hmm... you know me well. We're supposed to be in Earth for the first time today."
"It's the information on the official website."
Everything means preview is important.
The official website disappeared four months ago.
"But can I lower my travel speed? I'm sure you've never been defensive before."
"It's a one-size-fits-all insurance policy, boosting your defenses."
This world is going to hurt when you think about it as a regular MMO game.
More than a real sensation of pain, you might lose focus with a little damage.
With that in mind, I'm going to look into all the armor in the store.
"... whats that"
Then my eyes nailed to the black gear in the back of the store.
Necromancer Armor Curse Endurance Value 10000 Weight 30
VIT + 10 AGI-3 INT-10 MND-10
For some reason I was asexually curious, I was getting close to that gear and looking into it.
Even though the other armor is up to something like VIT +7, this Necromancer armor has a pretty good performance with VIT of +10.
But on top of the decline in INT and MND, there's a "curse" or something attached to the name of the gear.
I guess this means curse gear.
"What, are you worried about that armor?
And there came the old man with his face only in his face.
Seems like we're the only ones with customers right now, so are you free?
Well, a clerk nearby (the manager?) If so, let's ask.
"Excuse me, what kind of curse is this on?
There are many things that can be called curses in a word.
If you don't wear it, you won't be able to undress it, you will always have some condition abnormality, damage after a certain amount of time, etc.
Besides, I don't know how the curse works just by looking at it.
You can use 'appraisal' skills or actually equip them to know the effects of the curse.
It's just that this time it's for sale in the store, so you'll know how effective the curse is.
"Hmm...... that has the curse of 'Undead Attribute Granted'. I wouldn't recommend it to a normal (...) monk."
"Undead Attribute Granted".
Does this mean, as its name suggests, a curse that confers an attribute of undead on the equipper?
Typically, undead monsters are vulnerable to flames, sacred attributes, and healing items and magic can also be weak points.
So I guess those negative effects will take effect once this undead attribute and they are granted.
Then this is a little useless.
Flames and saints are a good story to match your opponent, but I have to say it's fatal to not be able to recover during battle.
If he can keep fighting without recovery, he's the only one who's extra confident in his evasive abilities.
In addition, the ability to evade the negative effect of this heavy equipment, AGI-3, drops out of the way.
You got a guy who buys this stuff?
"How much, by the way?
"One item is 1000 gold without returns."
... That's cheap.
It is cheaper than the amount written on the price tag on the other heavy equipment although it says one item or something.
Besides, he says that there are no returns, and maybe he has trouble treating it as a store.
"But I don't want to buy it with such a curse..."
I thought I could buy it depending on the curse because it was the most defensive.
I can't help it.
That's how I took my eyes off that armor and found a few other items that were excellent as protective gear but cursed.
In the end, however, I decided that none of it was going to be a usage thing, and leaked a slightly disappointing sigh.
"Speaking of which, how much is your Lord's budget?
"It's 1000 gold."
This is the commission that all players have from the beginning with their possession at the start of the game.
I don't know where the gold comes from, but I'm a little curious if thousands of players will use this money to make it easier for the town's economy to have a weird mess.
That doesn't mean I won't use it.
"1000... then why don't you look at the affordable shield first?
"Shield..."
Shields are also gear that monks can handle.
In the future, it was written on the site that in addition to the wand, the choice would be to increase your defense with a shield, increase your attack with a blunt weapon, or increase your resilience with a double wand or a large wand.
If I may add, shield gear is familiar to me.
It won't hurt to look at it.
"The shield is this way."
This is how we followed the old man to the shield office.
"... it's 100 to 500 gold if it's cheap."
Whimpering as I look at the price tag put on the shield that was there, I examine the little shield and the big shield that was nearby.
Buckler Endurance Value 7000 Weight 5
STR + 1 VIT + 2
Large Shield Endurance Value 7000 Weight 10
STR + 1 VIT + 5 AGI-2
There is a difference that small shields have lower defense capabilities than large shields, and large shields have negative corrections for the speed of movement of those with higher defense capabilities.
Also, when the shield is equipped, the STR is corrected.
It must be proof that shields can also be treated as weapons.
"I'm not used to using a shield. Buckler wouldn't recommend it at first."
"No, I'm used to using my shield."
"Hmm? Did I?"
"Yes."
That said, it's a story in a VR game.
But it is no exaggeration to say that I am familiar with the use of shields there.
When I say this, people are going to get mad at me for using my shield in real life.
But I shrugged with my shield, remembering that MMOs have all sorts of powers, too.
"... nothing but gear and jobs will determine the advantages and disadvantages..."
"? What's the matter, Sin?
"I can see the policy in the upcoming duel."
"Policy?"
Mina was leaning her neck when I was convinced I was alone.
Well, she'll soon find out what that means.
"Excuse me, please take this buckler and Large Shield one at a time"
"Mm? Both?
"Yes, both"
The old man was offered the price of the buckler and large shield by removing it from the item box.
And I hold the two shields in my left and right hands, respectively.
While the big shield on the right is heavy and I do feel that this does not require a negative correction for the operation, I laugh at my mouth again thinking that it would be more reliable to have this much weight.
"Is one your daughter's behind you?
"No, it's both for me."
Isn't your Lord a monk? What are we gonna do with the cane?
"I don't need it. Whatever it takes, I'm a tank that catches the eye of the enemy."
"Ha, Tank......?
"Yes."
I gave money to the confused old man and walked out of the armor store with two shields in my hand.
I'll show my classmates how to fight a tank with a trap called two shields.
