The moment the Goblin is pushed, a notification is triggered that a shield has been created.
A skill that didn't appear when practicing that shield yesterday.
“Why? What's different? ”
“What's the matter? ”
“Oh, it's nothing. ”
I wanted to find out why later and first check out my new shield skill.
I can't believe you finally have skills other than sword skills.
Tiering! [Shield Skill (D): shield usage, +10% Defense and more natural shield usage]
I expected, but the shield is also very similar to the sword.
The difference is that the Defense Strength increases instead of Attack Strength.
‘As expected, the effects I want remain intact. ’
The most important thing for me is the phrase 'I can use it more naturally’, which also makes swordplay a beginner level.
I've already felt the power of my skill with a sword, so I'm already excited to use my shield.
‘Okay, let's test him. ’
I turned my gaze in excitement and noticed a Goblin wandering around. As I approached him with my shield, he swung his dagger at me, and as instinct dictates, I raised his shield.
Taang!
A cheerful sound that is a little different from before.
“Oh! You got a hunch now? It's gone soft.”
The effects of a new shield move make it easier for the Goblin Dagger to comb through and bounce off. At this rate, I feel confident that I can use the shield against Knol.
“Hehe..! Okay, like this...”
Phew! Phew!
The retreat trumpet sounded when the new shield skill became more fun.
“… already? ”
The sound of a retreating trumpet that would have pleased the other soldiers.
I wanted to continue practicing shield-making on the battlefield because I felt like it.
“Let's go back. ”
“Ha… sure. ”
I sighed because I had to avoid being left alone on the battlefield, and I walked back home with Uncle Max.
“Uncle Max, will you join us tomorrow? ”
On second thought, what they accomplished today was truly remarkable.
If it's okay with Max, I'd like to continue working together in the future.
“Haha, it's me! Thanks to you, I was able to catch a pile of fun. ”
My question pleased Uncle Max, and I set a meeting place for tomorrow before I broke up with him and headed to the exchange.
We need to empty our heavy pockets for tomorrow.
“Oh! Here we are again. ”
Upon arriving at the Exchange, the merchant welcomed me with a happy face who had sold his defense gear yesterday, greeted him lightly and took out the heavy bag and put it on the shelf.
“Well, let's see... 9 Goblins, play... 62 Goblins? Did you catch 62 plays? ”
The merchant stares at the monster with a surprised look.
‘I'm not even a Goblin. I only have 62 ears for knols. ’
This is as good as any mercenary I know.
“Is there a problem? ”
“Oh, no. Here's 47 silver and 90 Coopers... ”
The merchant gave me a heavy bag of money. The biggest money I've ever made in my life.
When I felt the heavy pockets, I felt proud and strange.
‘... Is it really that easy to earn money? ’
If the other soldiers had listened, they might have insulted me, but I suddenly thought that.
If that's not the case, then the player is such a ridiculous system.
‘Maybe... closer to the latter? ’
I put a heavy bag of money around my waist and turned my foot towards the barracks that Jeff was waiting for.
“Oh Kaiyan, did you stop by the exchange? ”
When I arrived at the barracks, Jeff was waiting with a happy face.
“Uncle Jeff! The money you lent me yesterday... it's not all of it, but I'll pay you back here. Thank you so much."
When I reached out the bag containing the 47Silver 90 Cooper, Jeff shook his hand and opened his mouth, looking into my eyes.
“Kaiyan. I'm fine. Pay me back slowly. ”
“No, thanks to your loan yesterday, I was able to catch a lot of monsters without getting hurt today. Take it. Come on. ”
“You! So much for Abu! ”
Jeff grabbed my head with a clumsy hand.
A clumsy touch that made my hair messy but not strangely offended.
I spent a quick meal in the barracks with Jeff and went out again with my sword.
‘Resting is a luxury for me that I still lack. ’
We have a lot to do. You have practiced swordsmanship and shielding skills you learned today, and most importantly, check out the quest reward box.
‘Compensation box first. It's square.’
[Lesser Recovery Potion (4), Quest Reward Box (E)]
“Class E?”
A Grade E reward box, not an F.
‘Is it because of the difference between 10 Goblins and 4 Players? Oh, I'm afraid I have a deadline. ’
Obviously catching 4 players and catching them in less than 3 minutes is a significant difference in difficulty.
I took the quest reward box (E) out of the locker with a palpitating heart. I was also quite excited about the F grade reward I had previously used.
“I wish I had more Strength Potions... Unbox them. ”
Tiering! [You got a Minor Health Potion (2)]
“... It's not bad. ”
It wasn't the strength potion I was expecting, but it's not bad for health potions.
We don't know exactly what the health stats do yet. Rather, if you gain 2 HP with this chance, you will definitely feel it.
‘Good for you. You don't have to use distribution points. ’
I was also willing to invest a little more distribution skills for the experiment, but I'm satisfied with the fact that I don't have to. No, I was actually satisfied with the fact that there were 2 potions in the reward box.
‘Use potions. ’
I've already tried it, so I used two potions without hesitation.
“Hmm, I don't see any change... Has my physical strength improved, literally? ”
Stamina has increased by 2 but nothing has changed noticeably.
I just feel a little more energetic. No, actually, I feel healthier.
‘Status window.’
Status Window
Name: Kaiyan/Age: 15 years/Job: Player/Title: Not Owned
Level: 6/Power: 13/Agility: 8/Health: 10/Intelligence: 9/Distribution: 2
Opening the status window, you have 2 Distribution stats remaining by leveling up with quest rewards.
‘If you want to fight monsters more easily... I'll invest in strength. ’
As you pull yourself up, you can clearly feel the power rising from your body as opposed to your blunt stamina.
The power was 6 when I opened the stat window, but it has already increased to 15 in a few days.
“Good.”
I pulled out my sword and swung it into the air to test my abilities.
Profit
A blow that slashes the wind violently even though it swings lightly.
It's sharper than yesterday's first sword lesson, even though it's only a day's difference.
‘What kind of power would 15 be? ’
I felt a little sad that there was nothing to compare.
If you quantify the power of someone other than the player, what stats will be generated?
"As long as I can verify it, I have an objective opportunity to assess my skills..."
“Phew... I have to find out in time. I can't think of an answer. ”
You shake your head to get rid of your thoughts and raise your shield and sword.
It's better for tomorrow to try to swing the sword for once when you have more time than you might think right now.
*?????? *?????? *
Player Awakening Day 4.
After an early breakfast, someone came to the barracks while refining their weapons for the battle against the monsters that are to come today.
Glittering splendid armor. He was a knight in a plate armor.
“Hm, are you the Cactus Jeff Calais? ”
The knight looked very arrogant and said, looking at Jeff.
“Yes, it is. ”
“You're good, right? ”
“… not so good. ”
“I hear it's very good. Do you know how to use your errors? ”
‘The error is no joke. ’
The unthinkable question of the article made me sneak out and laugh.
If error was so easy to use, why shouldn't people try to be a knight? It's also a ridiculous question to ask a soldier outside the center.
“To the extent that there are errors in the body.... ”
‘Huh? ’
But there was a surprising answer from Jeff's mouth.
I thought you would say no, but surprisingly, words from your mouth are possible.
The knight stares at you as if he thought he would, but I don't even know if he opened his mouth too much.
‘Then it wasn't a joke that you could hit an Orc with your bare hands…’
I'm not a knight. Mercenaries use error.
Of course, I've heard that some of the mercenaries are exceptional at using error. But that's what it means to be Jeff.
“Very good. Starting today, you will be assigned to my 7th Special Forces task force. ”
“Yes? Then... what about my unit? ”
“Well, it's just you and the kid anyway. I'll take him in as one of our own. ”
The knight said he would accept me into his unit with a proud look on his face.
There was a complaint about him, but the knight was speaking with his eyes. I don't care what you think.
If you complain here, you'll cut my throat. ’
Knights are like that. Privileges.
I'll probably cut my head off with a dagger and make it look like nothing happened.
“No! He's not good enough yet. I'll go alone! ”
Jeff asked as if he couldn't agree with the knight's decision.
“I'll make the decision. And I've decided to take him in as a unit. ”
As if the knight had no intention of changing his mind, he left the message behind, and at once, absurdly, Jeff and I were assigned to the 7th Special Forces of the Central 3rd Legion from the outskirts of the 6th Legion.
“… Mister, what's going on? We're on the brink of a war and we're moving a squad. ”
Even a knight can give us a heads up if he wants us to move the troops.
A troop move in less than an hour before the war begins. I'm so confused by my culinary behavior that I can't talk properly.
“Hah...”
The dependable Jeff sighed and looked at me with a hard face that I had never seen before.
Bloodshot eyes. Empty focus. Silent mouth.
Jeff stood there for a long time, sighing deeply and approaching me.
“Kaiyan, you must stay behind me when the war begins. If you're not lucky, you could die today. ”
I felt anxious because Jeff, who always showed his worn out appearance, said a weak voice that weakened me.
It's dangerous for Jeff, the errand user, to say so.
“... Is the Special Forces that dangerous? ”
I tried to suppress my anxiety and asked. You want me to say no.
“Good point, Special Forces. We're just a scapegoat for the nobles. ”
“... Nobles? ”
“I don't know about you... but the Special Forces are commanded by noble disciples. ”
“The other troops are noble commanders anyway. ”
The best position a commoner can take on a battlefield is not a knight, but a white commander. A place that requires paying bribes or making connections to nobles or knights.
Other positions such as the Thousand Seal, the Man-Man, the Commander, the Deputy Commander and the Commander are all occupied by nobles. In short, I'm in the position of being commanded by nobles in any unit.
“Phew... These are the official commanders who graduated from the Military Academy. However, the noble disciples who will be in charge of the Special Forces... haha. ”
Jeff didn't say anything more, but he expressed everything with his last sigh.
The 7th Special Forces we're going to is a tough place.
“… Sir, should I tell the commander? Soldiers are forbidden from transferring their affiliations carelessly. ”
“It won't work. This is what happens when a monster wave wakes up. I heard the noble disciples will be honored to take the soldiers they want to build their specialty with. ”
‘Damn…. ’
I just wanted to do something.
To still grow safely, you have to play outside. And the Special Forces?
The fact that it's central is threatening enough, and you need to be under the command of a rogue commander.
“I'll follow you... I'll take care of the rear. ”
“Yes, let's live. Most deaths come from Special Forces, but if you keep your wits about you, you'll survive. ”
“… Yes. ”
Jeff said he wanted to be empowered, but he didn't feel empowered at all.
After a short time, we head to the center to find the special forces the knight told us about.
“Hey! Kaiyan! ”
He said he saw a familiar square shield on the other side as he was crossing busy people.
“Uncle Max! ”
“Ha…! Meet me at a place like this. ”
“I'm glad I didn't have to wait. But what are you doing here? You're in the Outer Legion. ”
This was the Central Force, and I was wondering if it wasn't for Uncle Max, the outsider.
“Haha... I'm part of the Central Force from today. Special Forces, too. ”
How am I supposed to take this? The only two people I know are in the Special Forces with me.
On the other hand, I was a little comforted that I wasn't the only one who was unlucky.
“I'll see you then! ”
“Yes, Uncle Max. ”
We were going to greet each other and continue on our way, but we were going in the same strange direction.
“What, are you going this way? ”
“Starting today, I'm also going to the Special Forces.... ”
“Hah... You're out of luck, too. What happened to you? ”
“I didn't say anything... but it happened. ”
“Oh, no. ”
I really didn't say anything.
If it's my sin, it's the fact that the knight, Jeff, was spotted.
“Phew, I mean, I don't know. A knight came by and asked me if I could use a shield. He said he used to be a shield guard, so I asked him to come here. ”
“... You said you couldn't use it. ”
“I knew I was short on shields as usual, so I wanted to take them. I wish I knew it was Special Forces... ”
When I saw Uncle Max sighing like he was frustrated, my anxiety grew.
Uncle Max has been in the army for a long time, so he must already know what kind of troops the Special Forces are. Seeing how he reacts like that.
“Hmmm.”
“Ah!”
Jeff clears his throat behind me.
I just wanted to introduce Uncle Max to Uncle Jeff.
“Max, this is Jeff. who taught me how to use a sword. ”
Max was furious when he saw Jeff behind me.
“Oh, my goodness, you're late. Hello... Hmm? Jeff Calais? ”
The moment the Goblin is pushed, a notification is triggered that a shield has been created.
A skill that didn't appear when practicing that shield yesterday.
