Chapter 83 – 83. The First Quest Is Rewarding!
◈
“Rouvelt, why were you called by the president?”
When I returned to the classroom, Sihun immediately asked me.
“The Student Council called me to ask for a quest.”
“Quest?”
“A request to collect materials for the next E-class dungeon boss monster.”
“I see. Huh? Are we going to the E-class dungeon next?”
Student council members and me know most of the schedules, but a normal student like Si-hoon cannot, of course, know school events or schedules.
“I guess so.”
He smiled and spoke to Sihun in a small voice.
“Do your best to show Ye Seul a cool side of yourself in the dungeon again, Si Hoon. The atmosphere has been good lately.”
While working in the same club, they had many points of contact, and I also pushed Rize from behind, so Sihun was more active than in the original work, so it was clear that the relationship between Sihun and Kim Ye-seul was getting better day by day.
“…! Ah Okay!”
Sihun also knew that I was helping him, so he honestly agreed with my words.
Yes, work hard and connect well with Yeseul, Sihun.
I’m going to go out with Yume and Jin too.
◈
In the game, each rainy season has a theme.
Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, etc., Appropriate bosses appear in each chapter, and Steel Mountain is the boss of Chapter 1.
The boss from the tutorial in Chapter 1.
That’s why it’s the easiest and lowest-level boss to defeat.
However, no matter how low-level the boss is, the level of the main character you play is also low.
In other words, until you reach the level required to defeat Steel Mountain, you must complete quests in the middle or enter dungeons to gain experience and level up.
The quest I received is also a basic quest that needs to be cleared in the story before fighting Steel Mountain.
After the basic leveling quest, at the end of Chapter 1, the full-fledged steel mountain elimination story begins.
But please
Haha! We met again! You damn bastard!”
I didn’t expect to meet Steel Mountain again this soon.
◈
A few days after receiving the request from President Rahisha.
As expected, the academy sent each class to the E-class dungeon this time, just as they went to the F-class dungeon.
In games, even if you play in an F-level dungeon, go through normal conversation events and tutorials, and then go straight to an E-level dungeon, you have the perception that it’s a game, but now it’s a reality.
Actually, thinking about it, going to the E-class dungeon this time was natural.
In the game, it’s an instant, but in reality, it’s already been a while since I went to the F-class dungeon.
In the meantime, the cadets are also building up their skills by taking classes focusing on actual combat and having time for sparring every day.
In the first place, F-class monsters are easy to defeat for an awakened hunter, so even if you are a first-year student, you have developed your skills by living at the academy, so it was not strange to enter an E-class dungeon.
This time, we became a group of 5, so we formed a group.
But this time, the composition was slightly changed.
This combination consisted of me, Rize, Yume, Sihun, and Kim Yeseul.
In the game, I just made it as a playable character, but this time, the teacher instructed me to try other possible combinations.
If you want to work as a hunter in the future, you can form a party with various people, so practice for that in advance.
In addition, the goal is to form a sense of closeness and connection between cadets in the same academy and class.
In the end, since the number of hunters was small compared to the general population, it was a consideration that the academy arranged for them to build a more intimate network.
Giving such an order was a possible order for an E-class dungeon that wasn’t so dangerous yet.
“Good luck, Rouvelt.”
“Yes. Let’s do well. Oh, can’t we show a pathetic side this time?”
“I know.”
Giving a glance, Sihun looked at Yeseul.
It is proof that we have built up good feelings as much as we want to show a cool image.
Very good.
That’s it, let’s say one more thing so that Sihun doesn’t relax.
“If you show poor skills, I’ll give you special training at the mansion next weekend.”
“…Special training?”
“Yes, special training. Because Si-hoon gave you special training, the results come out. Even stronger than during Oh’s training…”
“I’m looking forward to it, Rouvelt! I’ll clearly show you that I don’t need special training!”
Sihun’s tension and motivation rose significantly.
Coming out of the fire borer’s cave, Sihun was the front line, Rize was the lieutenant, and Kim Ye-seul and Yume were the rearguard.
After Yume and Kim Ye-seul used auxiliary magic and shield to provide minimum safety insurance, Si-hoon and I took the lead in defeating the monster.
“Haaaaa! Blaze Slash!”
Sihun put a lot of mana into it and cut the fire bore with a single skill.
Blaze Slash is a beginner skill among the blaze-type skills that Sihun uses at the beginning.
Since Si-Hun also spent his academy life diligently and built up his skills, Si-Hun’s blow immediately put the Fire Boar in a dying state.
Piuuuuu!
Hooked!
-Kwaeek!
And I finished the fire borer in a dying state by shooting an arrow.
“You did well, Sihun. Your skills have improved a lot, right?”
“I wasn’t just playing at the academy either! But Rouvelt, you’re a avant-garde, so why are you holding a bow?”
“I thought a dungeon of this level would be good for weapon practice. Don’t worry, I’ll change my weapon right away if it’s dangerous.”
The weapons I learned while receiving gifted education were very diverse.
However, it was important to use this opportunity to improve proficiency in various weapons because if you do not use it as much as possible, your skills may become dull.
“Then what… But why don’t you use the arrows on your back and keep using only mana arrows?”
“Because I’ve never been strong enough to use this arrow.”
In the game, arrows are infinite, but in reality this is not possible.
So, instead of the arrows in the quiver prepared in advance, he used arrows made by weaving magical powers with flat strokes instead.
“Let’s pick up the material sooner than that. It just fell.”
“Yes!”
I looked behind me for a moment while Sihun went forward to give me the material.
Rize is vigilant not only in the front but also in the rear to properly fulfill her given role.
Perhaps Yume had learned a lesson from what happened during Kagura’s time, but she was still looking at the same party members with eyes that didn’t take her tension off.
And Kim Ye-seul.
“…”
Sihun was staring intently at him.
Probably, it’s cool to see Sihun who used the skill earlier… Maybe you think
It’s just a face that thinks like that.
Sihun is the guy.
Not only herself, but also Yeseul’s heart has already been captivated step by step.
It is pleasing to see.
Since Sihun is properly raising Kim Ye-seul’s favorability rating, it’s enough for me to smoothly improve Yume’s favorability rating when facing the Great Fire Bore.
Yume’s favorability event this time is a development that can be said to be qualitative in a way.
In this event, when the Great Fire Boar charges towards Yume during this event, the main character blows her body and moves in front of Yume to prevent the Great Fire Boar from rushing and injure her.
Of course, that’s not a serious enough injury to use Yume’s recovery skill to restore her health and then take down her Great Fire Boar.
But the important thing is that he protected her body by blowing it up.
Yume always protects me, just like last time… It was an event that her crush towards the main character was further amplified while doing a monologue called,
Well, I even put in an event push like this in the beginning, but if you go to another heroine route in the second half, you will become a Horamozenzen heroine at once.
‘I have no intention of making Yume into such a heroine.’
The only thing he was aiming for was a harem.
I’ve only played 3p so far, but one day I have a goal to have all the heroines stay up all night.
‘For that! He said his energy has grown inexhaustible!’
“Rouvelt, go ahead… Why are you clenching your fists?”
“You’re making up your mind, Sihun. Don’t mind it because it’s just personal.”
“Uh, yes.”
We moved smoothly forward again.
This time, my group was the first to enter, and I was the best in terms of specs, so I was able to advance faster than any other party.
Even if the order was slow anyway, I was going to go quickly because of the quest.
“Everyone, be nervous because it looks like we’ll be arriving at the Great Fire Bore soon.”
Just as there is a mini-map in Bubble, in reality, Hefi functions similarly to navigation.
The first place you come to is informed of the surrounding terrain as much as possible by scanning the surroundings, and for dungeons where information has already been registered, such as this dungeon, the function is to inform the entire map and current location.
And the navigator was showing a sign to arrive at the end of the cave with the Great Fire Bore.
A boss monster even in an E-class dungeon.
Everyone in the party has average powers, except for me, who has stats in the mid-to-late game, and Rize, who has been training since childhood.
Sihun, Kim Ye-seul, and Yume nodded their heads even more nervously.
He led the party with moderate tension and moved forward.
And.
Haha! We met again! You damn bastard!”
-Kuruuuuu!
I saw Iron Mountain standing next to the Great Fire Boar with an evil grin.
“That person…!
“Go, Steel Mountain!?”
“How is Stranger here!”
“Young master.”
When Steel Mountain appeared, the party members, including Rize, were shocked and Rize also called me nervously.
Steel Mountain pointed its weapon, an ax, at me and declared.
“Here today! I’ll kill you! It won’t be like last time!”
Unlike the Black Bull story, I think it was because of me that Steel Mountain appeared here.
I expected that one day it would be like this.
Due to my actions faster than I thought, a development that deviated from the existing story was unfolding.
