VRMMO no Shien Shokunin ～Top Player no Shikakenin～

I just regrouped in the training room, and I cut the story out.

The title is "Whether you can protect your allies without having a big shield".

Liquorice heard that and asked me questions in a hurry.

"Duh, what do you mean!? Can you do that!?

"I don't think protecting is all about sheltering or preventing enemy attacks that have flown on your side. As a big premise, TB fights have a Hate value when the target is a monster."

"Uh... how does that lead to a shield?

"Well, there's order, so don't wait in a hurry. Tobi, tell me more about it."

"Whoa, are you an awkward man? I don't think so..."

Tobi, the avoidance shield, is the most familiar with the Hate value.

Looking at this guy, you can see that defense isn't always the only thing that matters to protect your allies (parties).

"Hate pulling is left to your skill, and then you're out of position. While drawing the attention of your enemies, direct them to positions that are harmful and difficult for your allies. If you can afford it, while also thinking about whether your allies are prone to attack... This should indirectly lead us to defend our allies, as Lord Hynd said. Is that you?

"Hey I see...... I, I was only thinking about putting up a shield in front of my side!

"In the case of range skills, etc., it may also be backward without being prevented by a shield"

"There's something you can't do to make your shield bigger. So, Tobi. What happens if it's a people-to-people fight?

You realize it's not your turn, Yumir is waving his sword one step away.

I need you to tell Yumil something too... okay. This way now.

"The player doesn't have a Hate value, so Real Hate...... I mean, he moves around violently in front of the enemy. If you've managed to draw attention to this one, the rest of the movement will be the same. If you're going to be ignored, you just have to lay back and watch out for tough attacks."

"- Wow! That's a move that can be applied properly to interpersonal fights, too!

"Hehe, you're right! The more the Awkward attack the enemy, the easier it is for everyone!

"Wow..."

Tobi has a high nose for Liquorice's compliments.

Mr. Serene applauds the petite, and Yumil stops the bareback and turns this way.

"Um, this guy's depressed because he's one of the best in the world. Whether you're a monster or a player, you'll feel equally blind!

"Lord Yumil, is that supposed to be a compliment!? I'm gonna cry!?

"Don't cry, depressing!

"Can't cry to cry!?

To see that cut back, were you listening properly with your bare hands?

Tobi stayed stunned, so I decided to follow up.

"I know how to say it, but isn't that the best compliment you can give me as a connoisseur? You don't have to be depressed."

"Oh, well."

"That convinces me, Tobi..."

"Because it's Tobi. So, Liquorice."

"Yes?"

"Later, there's one more person, and I also want you to hear about how Yumil is protecting his allies. On top of that, I want you to think about how you fight again. Because new weapons and protective equipment will go with it."

"... Yikes!

When I heard about Tobi, it looked like scales from my eyes, so to speak, this is futile.

Changes will have already come to the fight-style you envision in Liquorice, but the more informative the better.

When I looked at Yumil, he looked sinister.

"Hmm, is that me? I'm not sure I can explain it well, am I?

"Don't worry, I'll do it. No! If there's something about it, you can tell me in the middle of the story."

"If that's what you're saying...... listen to me! Liquorice!"

"Yes, Senior Yumil!

"I can't explain the habit. If I did it, I wouldn't look great..."

"As it were, sort of. Mr. Hynd, go ahead."

Mr. Serene prompts me to speak.

Uh, yeah...

"The way Yumil defends his allies is very simple and lucid. Defeat the enemy, reduce the number"

"Oh, I see! Attack is the biggest defense!

"I wonder what Lord Yumil will do with admiration... your own story?

"But you really are, aren't you? When Mr. Yumil comes forward and attacks me, something that makes room for the rear guard in a different way than you, Tobi."

"Yes. If you do an enemy, you will not harm your allies. With this, even if you can't beat it..."

The reason I cut the word half way is because Liquorice saw a strong color of understanding.

When I snorted one thing, I decided to swing by.

"Liquorice? I was wondering if you could continue."

"Yes, I've finally figured it out too! You can interrupt enemy movements with knockbacks, hit stops, when you hit an attack, even if you can't defeat them! One attack, sir!

"Yes, that's the thing. You can count on Yumil to blow up an opponent coming this way during the chant. Thanks to you, I can always sit back calmly."

―― ――

"Lord Hynd, you are so praiseworthy that Lord Yumil is exhausted, aren't you?

"Yu, Mr. Yumil! How far are you going?

Covering his face, he rolled the floor of the training station gobbly, and then Yumil stood up pussy.

Keep your hands on both shoulders of Liquorice with a red face.

"What do you say! Helpful!? Liquorice!"

"Yes, very helpful! Well, positioning and offense can help everyone... because it's defensive (guard-type), so it's just rounded up like Mr. Turtle..."

Liquorice's eyes are shining, I'm sure, because she felt room to capture her coveted Yumil style of combat.

Eventually, Liquorice removed the kite shield, which did not fit her height, and got a small wooden shield for training.

Weapon also changes to fit wooden short swords.

"... Senior Yumil, could you please do another mock fight?

"Of course! Don't call it a fight, as many times as you want until you're convinced!

"Thank you!

Yumil also matched Liquorice and took a wooden sword close in length from her previous gear.

Mr. Serene, who saw it, approaches the operating panel and raises a still voice to both of them.

"Wait, both of you. Training equipment is free to set weights and materials. Liquorice, can you come over here for a second?

"Oh, yes!

"Because I'm going to resize and weigh every single battle and explore my shield preferences. Weapon, if possible. You know, Mr. Heind..."

"Copy that. I'll be the record keeper."

I took the western paper out of the inventory.

Mr. Serene nods, says, "Please," and then goes back to setting up his gear.

"Lord Hynd, what about the awkward? Is there anything you can do?

"Right...... you want to take turns with Yumil every fight and fight Liquorice properly? You should also fight light warriors. You can make it two to two on the way."

"I understand!

"You have to weigh my weapon a little, and you can't even do a virtual heavy warrior! It can't be exactly the same as the main job, but it will be somewhat like that!

"I think it's a good idea, Mr. Yumil. If you're a pseudo Heavy Warrior, do you have a hand in getting you to use Holly Wall?

"So, generous backup...... kind of me, I'm getting nervous! At the same time, I'm motivated!

"That's the intention, Liquorice! Aim, new liquorice!

"New liquorice, it is!

Yumil and Liquorice raise their swords at the same time and get in the mood.

That night, the five of us caged in a training center and spent time exploring Liquorice's combat style and gear.
