The Tutorial Is Too Hard

227. Chapter of the Contest (28)

“Good answer. ”

His feelings have been conveyed to me from the father and wife in my hands.

The deeper the couples' fluctuations, the clearer and more abundant the emotion became.

[Soldier, I... I...]

The couple tries to talk, but they stop talking again.

The silence continued, just shaking occasionally.

I was willing to wait.

There was nothing urgent, and I wanted the couple to take enough time to think about it and give me an answer.

When Lee Hyun-jin, who was unconscious, started snoring low, the couple replied.

The answer was very simple.

[Sorry, warrior.]

The answer was apology.

It meant a lot.

I was satisfied that he didn't deny his actions first.

I spent months observing the couple before saying this.

I checked my suspicions and pulled out some information to see how he would react.

I was confident, not doubtful, that the couple were trying to get my information and my thoughts.

Just as my father and I did, I took a moment to speak up.

Of course, it would be hard for my father and wife to hear my words, but I wanted to reflect on the decision I made.

Maybe it's already been decided.

“That's enough to know. It's not that I don't understand your position, but just do it. ”

After reflecting on it, my words were too dry.

I wanted to blow off some more cool and grand remarks, but if you try to do something that people don't normally do, your brain refuses to think.

[Yes... Thank you.]

I nodded, listening to my father and wife.

I've solved more with this.

This was the end of the father and wife's problem.

Of course, even if he did give an unsatisfactory answer, he didn't think that the couple would justify their actions for immunity, or prove their innocence by spreading useless tales with me.

After meeting him on the 26th floor, I got to know him pretty well.

My father and I know each other well.

I knew you wouldn't.

However, I felt relieved that it was good.

It was definitely wrong of the couple to try to get to know me, but it wasn't that they didn't understand the gods and couples who wanted to know more about me.

I was in the position of being watched by the 24-hour gods.

There was no reason for the couple to feel uncomfortable now.

Most of all, I didn't think the time I spent with my father and wife was just to keep an eye on me.

So I did.

I was going to do well in the beginning, but I also had to say something to my father and wife for once.

I wanted to warn him in advance.

Before the couple crosses the line one day.

I wanted to tell you that that's all I can allow.

The link between the couple's feelings was gone.

There is a new hypothesis for the link.

The couple were embarrassed and couldn't get rid of the link, but he might have intentionally left a link to convey his feelings.

There must be something he can't say out of his mouth.

I need to find out a little more about this link.

The room was quiet after the couple were silent.

I could only hear the sound of my breath and the low snoring of Lee Hyung-jin who was unconscious.

The one remaining, Ceresia, was silent as always.

I woke up Lee Hyung-jin.

Lee Hyung-jin opened his eyes reflectively as soon as my hands touched his body.

“Get up, man. How long have you been sleeping? ”

Lee Hyung-jin got up and looked around without making a sound.

You seem particularly vigilant when you wake up from your sleep, even though you sleep a lot on the stage.

Seeing his habit of keeping his mouth shut and looking around without even breathing reminded me of a frightened herbivore.

Lee Hyung-jin sat next to me and scratched his head.

“Th-there are other teams yet? ”

I nodded.

I thought the last team I had left was a team of John Overton and Frogs.

But this is taking too long.

Although he's teaming up with the frogs, I don't think John Overton will be able to clear the stage yet.

Then Hell wouldn't have made it up to the sixth floor and would not have been alive.

The team that is probably still not cleared will be Lee Jun-seok and Lee Jin's team.

I decided not to think carefully about what they hadn't cleared so far.

Excuse me.

“What do you think? I've been diving for death. ”

I laughed as if Lee Hyung-jin was ridiculous.

“I don't know what I was thinking. What is it, the black one? A sword that drives real people crazy. ”

I smiled at Lee Hyun-jin, who asked me to throw away such a black sword.

He was quiet when he would say something.

“I don't know, I liked the jump. What can I say? Happiness? It could be pleasure. Why did I feel all-in at the gambling parlor? I had a similar feeling when I was attacking the stage, but I had never felt more intense. ”

“Did you gamble? ”

“No, that's what I'm saying. ”

In fact, the pleasure is more like the feeling of suicide jumping off a rooftop.

In the face of a crisis, the brain secretes hormones.

I advised him from the point of view of the experience I had felt many times.

“You shouldn't be addicted to those senses. ”

I didn't think Lee Hyung-jin would do it, but I said it anyway.

Lee Hyung-jin replied, of course not.

“You know, actually, I don't know. Can I really do this? ”

I heard it every time I met him at the last contest, the previous contest, and on the day of the meeting.

“You can do it. ”

“But I'm not as confident as my brother. ”

What a natural sound.

“If you want to be like me, that's greed. The effort it takes to grow is different. ”

“Is that so……. ”

“Hyeon-jin, you're almost there. Most of the stages in the future hold a specific concept, so information alone should be relatively easy to clear. It will be different from stages on the 6th to 11th floors. ”

As long as you have information to clear, there are stages you can clear once a day.

That's why I thought Lee Hyung-jin would do well in the future.

“There's 13 floors above all that. Keep failing and challenge yourself to the state in the last room. The monks on the 13th floor are the most powerful and kind to the challengers nearby. And he has a habit of teaching. If you can achieve significant growth on the 13th floor, the next stage will be relatively safe. Spend at least a year or two on the 13th floor. There will be no opponents on the stage nearby. ”

Lee Hyung-jin was silent for a moment on my advice.

I think the 13th floor was the safest stage to grow.

Following the party play stage to the 11th floor, the 13th floor that follows the 12th floor that needs to improve an individual's ability to survive will increase an individual's level of strength.

Even if he was a challenger who came up to the 11th floor with the party depending on his ranged attack or recovery abilities, he could gain the strength to stand on his feet if he spent enough time on the 13th floor.

While training will be long, of course, it will be more communicative than other stages, and training with favorable monks will be better than penetrating other stages.

Lee Hyung-jin's face brightened as he listened to the practical advice while being hopeful.

Lee Hyung-jin continued to talk about the 13th floor and advice for growth, and a message was received that the last team had won a token.

[You got all the tokens.]

[You can go.]

* * *

The last team that got the token was also Lee Jun-seok and Lee Jin's team.

No one asked me why it was so late.

It was so easy for everyone to guess.

However, Lee Hyung-jin and John Overton became more uncomfortable looking at Lee Jun-seok.

They really hate Lee Jun-seok.

It was like that or not, Lee Jun-seok seemed happy.

Rather than not caring about the two of you, I was distracted and couldn't seem to care about them.

She's very excited.

“Queek!”

The frog says, "It's been a long time." It looks lively.

Long time no see.

It's only been a couple of hours. It's been a while.

Thinking about it, I thought that the frogs were turning the perception of Lee Jun-seok and Lee Jin-seok.

I felt sad that I was the only one who could understand what the frog was saying.

At the end of the stage, it was a big golem.

In the game, the golem, who usually appears as a statue, was very slow to move because his body was made of stone.

Enough to have a relaxed conversation in front of him.

“That's a little tricky on my part. I don't think the power's working. ”

Lee Jun-seok grumbled.

He was so focused on his electrostatic abilities that he was vulnerable to non-conducting materials.

You don't have the strength to resist, so you need to be prepared for throwing weapons.

I thought we'd talk about it later.

“I'll take care of that. ”

Lee Hyung-jin and John didn't seem to want to do anything.

Most of all, John came here to see my power, and that's even more so.

[Whoops.]

You reach for the approaching golem with a silly voice.

Then I slit his hand down.

“The Heart Blade.”

The golem splits down like a tofu.

The collapsed golem does not rise again, whether the magic crystals in the chest were cut together.

[Does that really mean something?]

Serene Ceresia asks.

Ceresia oddly dislikes the use of skills in vain.

Of course it meant something.

[Stage cleared!]

[Results are being calculated.]

[Earned Points: 390 Points]

[Current Rank: 4th Place]

[Please wait until the next stage begins.]

Stage cleared.

Rank # 4.

It was a rule that eliminated the bottom ten teams one after the other, so it was a right of stability.

But I didn't like being in fourth place.

“Let's go with the next one. ”

You tell the group that you're still staring at the ruins of the golem and me.

After a while, John Overton stopped asking Cedria how he did it, and asked if he could teach him.

[Look, Serena. It's meaningful.]

[None.]

* * *

“Let's go to a 10-star. ”

I said, Lee Jun-seok was frightened.

“Brother, let's go to about six. So far, there are five stages that are the best, and we don't know what's going to come out of those 10 stages, and we still have a lot of opportunities, so why don't we take it one step at a time? ”

“Yes, of course. This time, choose a stage together. ”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyung-jin and John didn't seem too upset about the choice of difficulty.

John looks dazzled, perhaps because he expects to see more of my power.

Seeing the hot gaze of the man, I felt uncomfortable somehow.

You select a stage and wait for it to move, but you get an unexpected message.

It was a voting message.

[Voting begins.]

[Yes: 13 votes, 0 votes to the contrary.]

[The gods of the vaccine want to randomly change the stage to test the challengers.]

[Stage Information]

Description: It is a stage specially designed to test the most prominent challenger on Earth.

It was made urgently, so there are no other features.

Difficulty:??

[Voting begins.]

[Do you want to challenge the new stage?]

[Please select a yes or no.]

“I agree.”

[1 vote for yes, 0 votes for no.]

Message window has been updated.

As soon as I read the message, I shouted for support.

Voting ends when one vote becomes the other.

It was my first time, but other difficulty challengers who play the party are having a lot of confrontations.

“Queek!”

[2 votes for yes, 0 votes for no.]

The perceptive frog said yes.

I didn't think frogs could vote.

“D-brother, this might be dangerous. The difficulty is the question mark. It's more than 10 stars, so why not just oppose it and challenge it to another stage? ”

Lee Jun-seok asked me.

“Just say yes. ”

“I agree.”

Lee Hyung-jin cast a vote.

There was another fast one.

[Upvote: 3 votes, 0 votes against.]

I was embarrassed and looked at Lee Jun-seok and Lee Jin-seok, who were puzzled, and turned my gaze to John.

Just one more vote and the stage will begin.

“I know I've come to see your power, but isn't it dangerous? No, it would be dangerous to take a vote like this. We just reject him and challenge him to a different level of difficulty. ”

“Just say yes. ”

“But……. ”

“If you don't want to be treated as a withdrawal here, ”
