The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Arena of Contest (24)

“Cough, cough. ”

The sound of a cough mixed with the sound of iron fills the room.

Seeing that, Kim Min-hyuk sighed and said.

“Is that okay? ”

Naturally, our gaze turned to Park Jung-ah lying on the bed.

Park, who had a red face because of the flu, put a blanket on and hid.

“It's okay. If it's not okay, it's not okay. ”

Given my poisoning symptoms, that's what happens at the end of my convalescence.

If it was really serious, he'd be having an eczema, not a dry cough.

More than that, the string would be twisted.

“Man, I've never seen a challenger attack a 70-story unit with a cold before. ”

Park Jong-seok said.

He was right.

No matter how difficult the challenge is, you will be able to escape from mild illnesses such as flu at the time you pass the 20th floor.

Moreover, Park Junga has grown her Immune Skills, including Poison Resistance, considerably due to the threat of assassination.

“Isn't it better to move to a nice room now? ”

Park Jong-seok commented.

Maybe you should do that.

“I'm fine.”

I heard Park Jung-ah's voice as she was resting in the duvet.

He says he's fine. What can I do?

“Then we'll go. I'm more busy thanks to someone. I know it's a lot of work, but I need you to take care of her for a few days. ”

“Yes, I have nothing to do anyway. ”

The two of them left the room, saying good-bye to Park Jung-ah.

On leaving, Kim Min-hyuk sent me a message separately.

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th Floor: Junga is so sorry that she might get up quickly. I want you to rest as long as you can. Let him rest for at least a week.]

[Hojae Lee, 50th Floor: Didn't you say you were busy?]

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th Floor: I'm busy, but I can't handle it. We need to get her to rest.]

Kim Min-hyuk told me how hard Park Jung-ah is usually working.

Previously, the perfectionist personality made everyone around him suffer, but recently he's been feeling a little better and he's only throwing the stake at himself.

He was worried because he was still overdoing it, even though he wasn't stirring up everyone around him.

[Hojae Lee, 50th Floor: Okay. There are good pills when it's like this.]

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th Floor: … I don't know what it is, but I'm nervous.]

Through the window, I saw Kim Min-hyuk and Park Jong-sik leaving the building.

I turned and waved back to them looking out the window in the room and sat next to the bed.

Park Jung-ah's face that was hiding in the duvet came out.

“So I told you to wait a few days. ”

I hid in the duvet again.

“… I'm sorry. ”

You're not sorry.

I took a blanket and looked at Park Junga's forehead.

Ordinary people had a fever that required to go to the emergency room right away, but it wasn't that serious for Park Jung-ah.

I just wanted to give her medicine and put her to sleep.

“Father, bless your room again. I think it's time for the effects to drop. ”

[Yes…….]

The couple replied.

It's been like that since last night.

The father and father, who said anything in the distance, suddenly became depressed in the opposite direction.

[Hey, come on.]

[Nothing……. I'm just starving...]

That son of a bitch might be the sword.

[Hey, take the example of Cece. You don't say anything like that. No fluctuations. How black.]

[It was a bit of a shock for me yesterday as well.]

Serene Serena said.

Oh, sure.

Is that how it is in the brave world?]

Serena asked me a question.

It was unusual.

What?

[No…….]

For some reason, she looks depressed.

He said he wanted to be a busybody in the fishbowl, so he made a couple floating in the air to bless the room.

The scent of poison that was faintly wrapped around the tip of your nose has been erased.

“Isn't the fortress self-inflicted? ”

Park Jung-ah who was still asked.

I nodded.

“I haven't done it in a while. Why?”

“No… just. I was wondering if I was interrupting. ”

I mean, you're taking away your personal training time.

Of course not.

I was thinking of taking a break in the competition in the first place.

If you were so keen on dividing time, you would have already returned to the stage.

“Something's strange. You used to always do something to grow up. ”

“I'm still working on it. ”

“Yes?”

Training, of course, is always necessary.

He was still talking, but on the one hand, he was rolling the error into the air.

“So... last night? ”

“… I didn't last night. It's dangerous.”

[It was dangerous.]

[It was amazing.]

I ignored what Serenia and her father and I pretended to kill today.

Dealing with errors is not like playing with clay.

If I mistakenly handled it, I could have a big accident.

Park Junga smiled at what was good.

I liked the look of it when I smiled.

I took the herb powder out of my inventory, put it in a bowl, and put it in water.

Good thing I sharpened it in advance.

After releasing enough water, I gave it to Park Jung-ah.

“Drink.”

“I thought I told you not to drink my scent. ”

“That's what medicines are for. Drink up. Come on. ”

Park takes a deep breath.

It's gonna taste like hell.

As expected, Park choked with arrogance.

I quickly got the drinks out of my inventory.

I know because I drank it, but I really want to vomit.

“What is this? ”

“Sanctuary Herb.”

When I was troubled by the poison, it was herbs that Zhongxi brought me.

The antidote, the supplement, the sleeping effect, was truly the perfect herb.

I was good at buying some from the shop window.

“You'll be asleep for a while now. You'll feel much better when you wake up. ”

“Sleeping?”

“Yes.”

I won't fall asleep unconscious for days like I did.

I've adjusted the amount.

It will be enough to get up and eat sometimes while sleeping for a day or two.

Probably.

I sat down with a chair next to the bed and waited for Park Jung to fall asleep.

It's been a long time since I've cared for anyone like this.

It is the first time since I took care of him before.

“I can't sleep. ”

Junga said.

I can see you keeping your eyes open so you don't fall asleep.

I can't sleep.

Junga asked me to tell her story.

I asked him what he was talking about and he just wanted to hear what had happened.

I decided to tell you about what happened while clearing the 40th floor stages.

There were more stages to encounter with people than the previous stages of killing monsters all the time.

They were interesting stories for Park Jung-ah, and they were also helpful stories like this.

After talking like that, Park was asleep.

I couldn't sleep anyway, so I bit my mouth, pinched my legs under the covers, and did everything I could, and finally I fell asleep like this.

I pulled up the loose duvet and covered it properly.

I got up from the chair and went to the window.

It's been a mess out there.

It was a frog monster at the front door of the building, not for any other reason.

The frog sits in front of the building with people walking around a lot, so the commotion couldn't be helped.

He's like a statue of marital status.

People only looked at or touched frogs around them to see if they knew they were not going to attack or hurt someone.

Luckily, no one seemed to attack the frog.

It was just to see the animals in the zoo.

I could see that people's mood had really changed.

Compared to before.

What can I say? Poison is gone.

Before, I felt like everyone was rolling in a dangerous place, even if not as much as me.

Everyone was sharp enough, and there seemed to be a wall.

I knew that breaking down those walls was the goal of vigilantes and Kim Min-hyuk, but it felt strange to see people who were so flexible.

It looks like a different world.

“Frogs.”

[Queek!]

As I called the frog through the window, the frog replied.

He's more of a dog than a frog, no matter how much I look at him.

I used to think that the mind decides more than the body, but if I look at him, I don't think so.

“Roll over. ”

I said, the frogs started rolling.

I wasn't just rolling, I was clumsily following the movements of the man I was going to before.

People enjoyed watching frogs.

It was the same reaction as seeing the dog performing the trick and enjoying it as the owner instructed.

[Why are you abusing the poor frog again?]

[Abuse, that's a good workout.]

Of course, you'll get muscle aches.

It's because I usually don't exercise, so I can't help it.

I stopped the frogs and threw some meat from my inventory.

The frog ate the meat well.

I thought to myself, should I give you a bug instead of meat? I was lucky.

People saw the frog eating meat and loved it.

This is why I feel like a dolphin farmer.

People asked me if I could feed the frogs.

I said I was fine unless it was harmful to the frogs.

In fact, I don't know what's harmful to the frogs, but I thought the frogs would pick them off on their own.

People took food out of their inventory and gave it to frogs.

Frogs rejected foods that were too fragrant, but they immediately accepted raw meat or vegetables.

[I'm really surprised.]

“What.”

[You're getting along better than I thought, with people. Is it because of the trend?]

“I don't know.”

I didn't think so.

I thought about when I met people before.

It was the second race.

I was anxious at the time.

I don't think I'll ever be able to mix with people again.

I'm afraid I'll still be out of the tutorial and back on Earth.

The foundation of that psychology was the idea of wanting to mix with people and not wanting to be different.

I didn't want to leave the tutorial.

I naturally lost my desire for growth and aggression, and I only moved more and more quietly.

Maybe he was thinking about failing to attack the inner stage.

[How about now?]

My father and I read my thoughts again.

I have to ask why this is happening the next time I see Kirikiri.

“Different. The distance to people is even further away than it was then. ”

It was fun that I felt closer to my father, even though the distance I thought was getting further away.

How?

How did you get so far away?

It was hard to explain.

I thought about it for a moment and decided to explain it in comparison to the way I treat people I meet on stage.

“I used to treat people from the stage differently than people from here. He was actually something else to me. ”

It couldn't have been the same.

They were close to those who met on stage, and even if they had fun, they were always going to leave.

And every word Edie said, they were trapped.

There were exceptions, of course, to the 18th floor, which was just after the race.

It was a time when I was broken too much.

[How about now?]

“It's the same. We're dealing with the same thing. It makes no difference. ”

It got away that way.

I treat other challengers as if I were meeting people on stage.

I can laugh and talk with people I meet on stage.

Eat together, understand their thoughts, and empathize with them.

on a line that is not too difficult to target.

It still is.

You hear the sound of the backside of the bed turning.

[But I think some people don't.]

[Yes, it is. I'm a human being, and even if I only see it once or twice a year, there's always someone I'd be happy to see.]

[Yes, thank you.]

[Yes.]
