The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[Conversation Day will be held.]

[Conversation day lasts for 24 hours. Remaining time: 22 hours 40 minutes.]

[Please enter. Time until forced summoning: 3 hours and 40 minutes.]

“Edie, do you want to go? Or you can just keep the house. There won't be much fun this time either. ”

“Glug. Of course I will. ”

You must be bored! No one will speak.

I decided to go with Idi, but I didn't want to leave anyone behind.

The Day of the Conversation was held in the fields of Kirikiri again.

Of course, Kirikiri was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, what I see is...

It was Park Jung-ah who caught the culprits who opened the day of the meeting in that corner.

Maybe it's because you're a little late, but the situation's already been cleared up.

I could only see him from afar.

There is no need to disrupt my face when I'm done cleaning up.

“Glug. Humans have worse corners than you think. ”

Yeah, it is.

After 30 minutes of squatting and waiting in the corner of the field, the punishment was over.

I was bored, so I woke up with a shimmer.

But Park wasn't ready to finish it yet.

She now gathers the vigilantes and starts her sermon.

The problem was that the contents of the sermon were quite cruel.

Wow, is that a soldier?

It's very classy to go after people.

Park Jung-a's school days became a little suspicious.

“Glug. How long do we have to wait here, Commander?" ”

“… let's go. ”

One day, I quietly walked back behind the vigilantes listening to Park Junga's harsh sermon.

I hoped that no one would notice, but unfortunately, Park met her eyes.

Park Jing 'a, who was expressing her bigotry, lowered her head slightly as soon as she met me.

The heads of the vigilantes who were being humiliated by Park Jing 'a turned and received unwanted attention.

Tsk.

I saluted Park Jung-ah who greeted me and left with a quick step.

You move to a point in the middle of the field to open your inventory.

“Inventory.”

Wow, it's so nice to see my precious items again.

How are you, boys?

I removed the liver transplant magic tent from the inventory window.

It's not just that tent.

This item was rewarded for clearing 9 floors.

After pulling out the folded magical tent and placing it roughly on the field, a large tent that looks 15 square was set up by itself.

Khh... Good.

I looked inside Edie and the tent.

Inside, there were some low liver chairs and linens.

I should have taken this to the 12th floor.

Sitting in a chair, I turned my back and thought,

Edie doesn't have a chair that fits, she just sits on the floor next to me.

“Whoa, I switched it to a new tent. That's a good point. ”

Kim Min-hyuk walked in, kicking down the entrance of the tent.

“This is not a point. ”

“Lizardman friend, you're here again? Hello?"

Kim Min-hyuk waved his hand at Idi and said that.

Edie waved her hands as she grumbled.

“What are you doing here? I can't even see him when he's busy, so he's just hanging out here. ”

“I came in a little while ago. It didn't look like I had anything better to do. Park Jung-a caught the kids again, so I didn't interfere and just ran away. ”

The topic returned to the story of Park Jung-ah.

About Park Jung-ah's recent condition.

“It's a little ironic. But I think we need it now. Park is as strict as he is strict with others. Well, it's not that big of a deal yet. ”

A little tough?

That's some kind of mental illness.

Because of the anxious future and the regretful past, he pushes himself too hard because of the urgency and restlessness.

The first problem is that it puts the same rigid foundation into itself and into others.

The second problem is that a person cannot remain perfect like that forever. One day you will realize that you are not as crazy as you think you are.

Ordinary people will take comfort in it.

It can be. That's good enough.

But Park Jeongah won't be able to do that.

Instead of comfort, you will blame yourself, despise yourself, and suffer from imperfection.

Then the problem really gets worse.

That's when people start breaking down.

In my experience.

“You have to take care of it. She's practically a runaway train. I can't apply the brakes, but I don't want to derail it. ”

“This guy makes everything difficult for me. I'm doing the best I can. ”

Kim Min-hyuk, who complained, sent a message to someone.

“I've reserved the user for the Fullscreen Skill I mentioned last time. They're coming this way now. ”

At the end of Min-hyuk's words, the tent door rolled over.

“H-hello? ”

A round boy with a shy and good impression came in.

Looks like a middle school kid to me.

“She's in middle school. ”

“H-hello, I'm Joon-suk Lee. ”

Then why is he so scared?

Looking at me, I can see Edie staring at Lee Jun-seok, grunting.

“Edie, you scared the kid. ”

“Glug, it's unfair. That little Human is trembling at the commander. ”

“Hey, you scared me. ”

Min-hyuk Kim also made me feel unfair.

No, there's a Lizardman sitting next to me, and he's scared of me. Does that make any sense?

“Hey, you're not, are you? You're not scared because of me, are you? ”

“N-no! I'm sorry, I'm sorry……. ”

Seeing Lee Jun-seok apologizing as the bars trembled, I felt complicated.

How did my image end up like this?

Lee Jun-seok was an eight-story player on hard difficulty.

He was also a wizard who used electrostatic magic.

He was also a vigilante on the Hard difficulty level.

The reason why I chose Joon-suk through Min Hyuk Kim was because of resistance skills.

“You can sit here and use your electrocution skills on my arm. Talk to me if you're short on magic. Lots of potions.”

“Yes, yes…. Are you really okay? You must be in a lot of pain.... ”

“Hey, that's the kid who plays air with fever stones to get burn-resistant. Don't worry. Get started. ”

When Lee Jun-seok grabs my arm and starts using the electrocution skill, my arm starts to twitch.

We're gonna need to stabilize this.

I asked Edie to tie a rope around the armrest of the chair.

“Try harder now. ”

“Yes? A skill stronger than this is dangerous. ”

“I don't care if it heals on its own. ”

I turned my head to Kim Min-hyuk, leaving Lee Jun-seok who was restless with sweating.

“So why is this day open? ”

“… Didn't I tell you last time? Izzie, in a residential area on the 30th floor, someone created a small organization and manufactured and distributed drugs. I think he was trying to swing people with it. ”

“What's the solution?"

“I told you that last time, you son of a bitch. I infiltrated the vigilante and secured the list as soon as I got up to executive duty. ”

“Whoa, is that it? It would be risky. People would volunteer for something like that. ”

It's always like this.

The vigilante's affairs are always hidden among the troubled and informative.

And as soon as the day of the settlement begins, we ambush them and deal with them.

There are no known operatives. It's just 007.

Vigilantes who are exposed and active are well known through the community, but the identity of vigilantes who are hiding among people in such a way is completely hidden.

Who they are, how many they are.

All I know is Kim Min-hyuk.

The day of the settlement is still open, and there are no unresolved issues.

100% probability.

Is that possible? I can't believe people would go this far to maintain their security.

“Don't you know how important mission, justice, sense of purpose, tension, crisis, these things are to people? Especially in special environments like tutorials. A little encouragement will do the trick. I'm doing it because I can. ”

You're the only one who can talk about it that easily.

“I don't really know how many undercover agents. It's run as a clay. Probably a lot more than people think. ”

“Later on, the tutorial will be full of undercover agents, very. ”

“That won't do you any good. It's ideal. They're watching each other, and everyone wants to protect justice. Utopia is no different. ”

Well, I don't think so.

At that moment, I felt a tingling sensation in my arms.

“I'm... sorry. Are you okay?"

The skin on your arm is burning black.

Let's wait a moment. The restoration effect applied on the day of the conversation has been triggered.

The black cuts as well as the burns around them were cleaned away.

“It's okay. It'll burn out. ”

“But I thought you said you were focusing on magical circuits, not immunity. ”

“Yeah, but it looks like they need electroshock resistance. When hit by an electric shock skill, the movement of the Pokémon is severely braking. And there are so many skilled people on this stage that I felt the need to resist magic. ”

I briefed Kim Min-hyuk on the 12th floor of Hell difficulty as if he was curious.

“And the magic circuits are still spinning. ”

“Huh? Now?... Since when?”

“Ever since I came in here, ”

Kim Min-hyuk looked at my arm, which Lee Jun-seok was shooting at, and looked at my face again.

“Spin a magic circuit while you're at it? ”

“Yes.”

“You're a real monster. ”

During a decade of electrical massage, the door of the tent opened while talking to Kim Min-hyuk, and a strong man entered the tent.

“I wondered why I couldn't see them. They were sucking on the honey here. Oh, hi, Lizardman. ”

The name of the person who came in to greet Idi was Park Jong-seok.

If I was covering Hell difficulty, Kim Min-hyuk on Normal difficulty, and Park Jung-ah on Izzie difficulty, Park Jong-sik was the person covering Hard difficulty.

“Suck on some honey, Terminator. I didn't have anything to do with it, so I avoided it. ”

“Yo, Joon-suhk was here, too. ”

Park Jong-seok ignored my excuse and also greeted Lee Jun-seok.

Then the liver grabbed a chair and sat down and said,

“I'm done. They'll all be here any minute. We have a meeting.”

As Park Jong-seok said, soon after the door of the tent was opened, the Urahs came in.

They are key members of the vigilantes, including Junga Park.

“Glug.”

A lot of people came into the tent at once and asked if they didn't like it or if Edie didn't like it.

I stopped using Lee Jun-seok's skill and released the rope that was tying his arm.

And I got into position.

I can't be comfortable in front of people.

The same is true for key members of the vigilantes.

It's Kim Min Hyuk and Park Jong-sik who are really comfortable to deal with.

It's not just because people find me uncomfortable.

I also need to keep some distance from people and maintain a stiff image of the current day.

It helps to maintain vigilantes.

In fact, I had similar experiences during my professional gamer days.

At the summit, experience the awkwardness of many people.

The gaze of many losers and competitors.

At one time, I once enjoyed it, but I am not so happy now that I have fallen to the ground to receive the shouts of those who fear me.

It was in a pretty spacious tent, but it quickly narrowed down to about a dozen people.

There were not enough chairs, so most people decided to sit on the floor or stand up as Edie did.

“Then, let the meeting begin. ”

The meeting started with Park Junga's words.

First, the status and progress of the day of the settlement.

We discussed a plan to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.

The following was a brief report from the leaders of each difficulty level.

This is the meeting as usual.

It's no different from meetings in a community dialogue.

“Now I have two very important agendas. ”

It was said while venting the atmosphere of Kim Min-hyuk.

“First of all, Chan Yong cleared 89 floors this time. ”

There was a loud commotion with the sound of the surroundings.

Lee Chan-yong.

A player on Easy difficulty.

He is also the closest person to clearing the 100th floor in the tutorial.

Lee Chan Yong is a player who has emerged sharply after information about the dangers of the real world was communicated to the tutorial.

He is obsessed with the notion that there are families out there and that he has to go back quickly.

I often heard that there was only family, but Lee Chan Yong showed me his will in action.

About the time Lee Chan Yong started hitting the top floor players, the vigilantes began to fully support him.

In addition to supporting potions and equipment, the Peacekeepers themselves collected and analyzed information on the Easy difficulty level that needed Lee Chan Yong.

Clearing the 100th floor is not just the party's business.

The first challenger to clear 100 floors and get out into the real world will be our message.

The message that we, who disappeared, are here now.

And then...

We'll be out of here soon, so wait a little longer.
