Chapter 87 – Sinabro (3)
Formation of a team that will determine the performance of a semester.
I couldn’t put my opinion there.
If Im Na-eun and Shin Yoo-jung decided to accept Seo-yeon, I have no choice but to accept it.
It’s clear that it’s an attractive card in terms of ability alone.
Rather, it’s a strange level that he hasn’t belonged to another team yet.
With that level of skill, a lot of offers would have been pouring in after the team formation announcement came out.
“Then, please take good care of me during the semester.”
“Yes, please take care of me too.”
We exchanged simple greetings.
No matter how temporary it was, it was a team formed to clear the dungeon.
Keeping your mouth shut is not the only way to achieve team harmony, so I started talking first.
Naturally, Seoyeon joined the table where we were sitting.
With a round table in the center, the heads of four people were draped over the tablet.
“Who will be the one left?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to be a tanker?”
Be a tank
The pros and cons of using two tanks in a party are clear.
If the hands and feet of the two tanks match well, they can create an impenetrable battle line.
And the downside is that the attack loss is equivalent to using one more tanker instead of the dealer.
Then at our party….
“I want to be a tanker.”
As I raised my opinion, all eyes turned to me.
I’d like to hear why you think so.
“Naeun, Seoyeon sunbaenim, and even me. No matter which dungeon you go to, if the difficulty is moderate, the damage is good enough.”
Honest words are not enough, so it overflows.
A magician capable of both long-range and short-range dealing in addition to a wizard who can bomb as much as he can if he has time to prepare.
Up to me there.
If it is a dungeon that lacks damage with such members, it should be seen that the difficulty selection is in fact wrong.
“Exactly… , That makes sense.”
Even though Shin Yoo-jung has a disapproving expression, she nods her head as if she is convinced.
The reason why he doesn’t look good is that he’s worried because his contribution will drop that much when he uses two tanks.
There are ways to solve that to some extent.
“So, we’re going to make you, Yu-Jeong, the main tank, and the other one as the off-tank.”
The contributions of the main and sub are clearly divided.
Still, it can’t be helped that we’re divided, but he’ll understand that much.
The corners of Shin Yoo-jung’s mouth slowly go up.
“If that’s the case… , I agree.”
Seo-yeon and Im Na-eun also showed no disagreement.
Then opinions will be gathered.
Right away, I manipulated the tablet and turned over to the page listing the students in the tank position.
A tanker in his 30s.
More than half of them are already covered in gray.
Tanks are one of the most important resources when forming a party, so teams with quick feet must have recruited tanks first.
“How is he?”
“Oh, he’s weak.”
“Then he… ?”
“That bastard just can’t use a shield.”
The story centered on Shin Yoo-jung.
Apparently, since he’s a tank, he seems to have a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the other guys.
I moved away from their chink and stared at the tablet in silence.
There are about 12 tankers left.
Most of them are low-ranking tanks.
Among them, a strange figure stands out.
“Foreigner?”
Elena Mikhailova Dobreva….
“Are you Russian?”
Shin Yoo-jung, who heard the leaked self-talk, answered my question.
“No, Bulgarians.”
“I see.”
The number of foreigners attending Korean universities is not very large.
The reason for this was that the competition for admission was fierce and the language barrier was higher than expected.
These days, thanks to the development of magic engineering, translators with good performance are being released, but the translation rate is not yet perfect, so I had to learn Korean for smooth communication.
It’s not easy to learn Korean enough to take university lectures, and it’s true that Korean universities are excellent hunter training institutions, but it’s not at all irreplaceable.
“Is Bulgaria not Europe?”
“Right.”
“Then why did you enter a Korean university?”
In Europe, there are quite a few hunter training institutions comparable to Korean universities.
The institutions of England and Germany are comparable to ours, and I know that France is at a considerable level, even if it is a little behind.
“I heard you came here to make money?”
“Money… ?”
“Uh, Korean university students get temporary licenses.”
“Aha.”
It makes sense to some extent to make money.
The Hunter Association issues temporary hunter licenses to Korean university students.
Although it differs slightly depending on the grade, the rank is roughly between B and D.
Once a temporary license is issued, you can legally attack dungeons.
In other words, you can earn money while studying as a student.
However, I know that not all countries’ hunter training institutions follow this system.
In particular, hunter training institutions in Europe have strong military tendencies, so you have to be allowed to go out even?
Nine out of ten, the house of a friend named Elena is likely to be poor.
Also, this friend will be taking on the role of her head of household.
That’s why he came all the way to Korea, where he could earn money while taking the course to become a hunter.
“Hmm….”
Poverty usually makes my life pessimistic, but sometimes it becomes a driving force for growth.
If you came all the way to Korea to earn money… , I think her friend named Elena might be the latter.
“You’re not thinking of putting Elena on her team, are you?”
While thinking about it for a while, Shin Yoo-jung asks me with an anxious expression.
“If you have good tanking skills, you can do that. Why?”
When I asked back, Shin Yoo-jung opened her mouth with a determined expression.
“He can’t.”
A voice as firm as a face.
I wouldn’t oppose it for no reason, and I wonder if it has a fatal flaw.
“The reason is?”
“It is difficult to communicate at first.”
Well, that definitely deserves a downside.
In a dungeon, it is important for each party member to communicate smoothly and show organic movements.
If a friend named Elena isn’t fluent in Korean, she’s already starting with one drawback.
“You can’t speak Korean at all?”
“It’s not… , I can only have light conversations.”
“Okay… ?”
That’s enough, I think I’ll be able to have a conversation somehow with the addition of body language and a translator.
I’m honestly puzzled
Clicking on a person’s picture floating on the tablet brings up a brief profile.
Height and weight, weapons used, strengths and weaknesses, characteristics, etc.
He is 180 cm tall and weighs 72 kg.
The weapon used is a huge tower shield that can cover the entire body.
Considering that he uses a shield that is difficult to even carry, his strength level must be quite high.
A tree with deep roots.
The details are not detailed, but it seems like a trait that is perfect for a tanker just by hearing the name.
“You will be puzzled too. If you look at the profile, why are there still outstanding kids?”
Is he reading my mind now?
How did you know, I reveal my inner thoughts as they are.
“You’re right. To be honest, this is better than the remaining tanks, no, the few who have already been recruited.”
It is a very wasteful property to give up just because communication is difficult.
Unless all Korean university students are idiots, there seems to be no reason to miss it, but why?
Shin Yoo-jung told me the answer to that.
“He has a flaw more fatal than language.”
“What is that?”
“Characteristic.”
“If it is a characteristic… , A tree with deep roots?”
“Yes, that.”
Inspiration does not come from just hearing the name.
“Deep-rooted tree is an attribute that creates a wide-area slowdown area centered on the user by channeling some of the impact applied to the user to the feet.”
… Am I the only one who gets more mouthwatering after hearing it?
Crowd Control.
Also known as CC.
As a term commonly used in games, it refers to techniques that impose limitations on enemies.
No wonder Tree with Deep Roots is considered one of the best tank traits.
Shedding some of the shock he receives, and using it to create a deceleration zone?
At this level, it wouldn’t be strange to be recruited by a large guild.
“But there’s a big downside here.”
“What?”
To be honest, my mind is almost made up.
In terms of numbers, about 90%?
Boy, recruit
The downside is obvious.
Either the duration is very short, the range is narrow, or the effect is insignificant.
It can be fatal right now, but it can be improved through sufficient training, so with the thought of investing in the future….
“There is no distinction between foe and foe in that deceleration area.”
“Yes?”
“That’s why, even my allies’ feet are slowing down.”
Ah, this takes another 10%.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
For a moment, I had a dream.
Shin Yoo-jung blocks monsters as the main tank, and Elena, the off-tank, sets up a slowdown zone to make the enemy stupid.
“Ehh.”
It would have been really perfect if it had worked out the way I thought it would.
I never thought the downside would be slowing everyone down regardless of peer.
“Are you still sad?”
“… Little.”
She honestly answered Shin Yoo-jung’s question as she walked beside her.
“Give up. In the first semester, there were many people who took me to try to overcome that shortcoming somehow.”
“… Everything must have failed.”
That’s why I’m left like a loner now.
“I know.”
The guy who smiles and taps me on the shoulder.
I keep feeling regretful
Just close your eyes and try recruiting?
I might find a solution unlike the other students, right?
… All the challengers who appeared after the first failure must have had the same thoughts as me.
“Hey, stop thinking about that for now.”
As I trudged along, his hand grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“That… , Isn’t it a little too late to ask mom to cook?”
Because it’s 8:00 in the evening….
It’s past normal dinner time.
“Then, just eat it at home, okay?”
“No, not that!”
It’s a surprise.
Why is he screaming all of a sudden?
“Since it happened like this, let’s have dinner and go in. This is what I mean. That… , Lightly accompaniment.”
Shin Yoo-jung speaks gibberish with a slightly reddened face.
I had been noticing it before.
When I see people constantly glancing at their faces, I think that they must have something to say.
“Then will it be?”
I was very curious about what was going on.
