Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 135

◈Episode 135 Because it is not a story (3)

It is very difficult to fight in a space called water. This is because there is water resistance and there is no foothold, so it is impossible to apply force properly.

But if you don’t have teeth, chew with your gums.

We learned how to fight in the water.

Pow!

If the problem was that there was no foothold, all you had to do was stand on the bottom of the lake and fight.

Boom boom!

Knowing the depth of the water surface while removing the grass at the bottom of the lake was a godsend.

I found a relatively shallow area and shared hands with Berserker. When you attack with magical power, the water resistance of the area you attack seems to converge to 0.

Thanks to this, fists struck each other’s guards at a speed that was not much different from outside.

It was probably not my mood that caused the water to rush out and create a small gap with the sound of an air bubble popping every time.

Por!

Berserker’s arm grabbed me and threw me backwards. Resistance decreases only when attacking, and even then, it doesn’t roll like it is in the air, so it wasn’t pushed back that far.

Of course, this wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Because I wasn’t pushed too far, the time it took for the Berserker to approach me was short.

I avoided the fist that was coming towards me in a somewhat dull form, put my foot on the solar plexus and pushed it away.

Berserker was pushed back and I also retreated in reaction.

It was now.

I took my last breath and went up. I could stand this damn underwater stage, but breathing was a problem.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have returned the underwater breathing apparatus! A brief regret flew to the surface along with my body.

Sigh!

However, Berserker did not let me go easily. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me down.

There is not the slightest hint of will to climb upward on his dim face. He seemed very confident that his lung capacity was better than mine.

bang!

A dull sound rang out and the bridge collided with the sandy floor. The sand spreading around looked like a dust cloud.

Pow!

Berserker punched out while puffing out his cheeks to breathe. The urgently raised forearm barely blocked the fist, but the body was pushed back two and a half steps.

A subtle pain remained in my forearm. From experience, this level of pain would have resulted in a bruise.

Porreuk!

Berserker, who had received a good punch, kicked the ground with a grinning face. It looks like I’m running out of breath over there too.

But how long has this concept survived?

I suddenly grabbed her ankles and threw her on the floor like she did earlier. Breathing is now the real limit.

if?

If you don’t have the confidence to hold your breath and go all the way up there, remove any water that gets in your way.

I gathered a bunch of magic power in my hand and shot it upward.

Quang!

A black pillar rose in a straight line and pushed away the water. It was so powerful that a larger volume of water than the black pillar was pushed out and the ground around me was freed from the water.

Berserker’s eyes widened as he was pushed back by the current.

Well then, just swim out on your own.

I stamped my foot, squinting slightly due to the momentary sunlight.

The moment the water that had been pushed out was about to fill up again in the form of a whirlpool, my body surged upward, engulfed in magical energy.

Phew. As soon as the exhaled breath entered my lungs, my body rose to the surface.

“…!?”

And as my body fell again and started to dive, a black shadow quickly soared and rushed towards me.

“Khaat!”

Pow!

The surface of the water broke open and Berserker jumped out. In his hand is a halberd.

Didn’t you just fight with your fists!? Although the agreement we made earlier involved the use of weapons, I thought we would only fight with our bare hands today because he attacked us with his fists!

I frowned in embarrassment. Of course, that didn’t mean we didn’t respond.

My hand steadily held the True Two Hander.

Cough!

The two magical weapons collided, sending out something similar to a shockwave in all directions. The surface of the water became round and our bodies were pushed in opposite directions.

Sigh!

The force was so strong that instead of submerging, both of them broke the surface with their feet. This happened because the force pushing backwards was greater than the speed of falling due to gravity.

thud!

Suddenly something touched my back. If you take a quick look, you can see that it is a pillar of a bridge leading to the Magic Tower.

Is this because his entire body is covered in magical energy? It didn’t come as a huge shock to me… but I feel a little guilty that the railing was a bit dented.

In addition, there are financial concerns about how much it will cost to repair this.

“I’m crazy.”

But will anything change if I worry about it now? Instead of worrying about the cost of repairs, I tried to figure out where I was flying from.

Just looking at the marks, it looks like there was a fight there.

Did we get pushed this far just because we clashed weapons once? It’s no joke.

I put my arms around my legs, looking at the white foam and swirls left behind by my mess.

Of course, the gaze was fixed on the direction where Berserker was thrown.

While I was pushed towards the bridge of the magic tower across the middle of the lake, she was thrown to the water on the other side.

“Who wants to buy it?”

Anyway, at this point, you can say the fight is over.

I put the two-hender on my legs first, then used my arms to pull myself up.

“Big sword!”

As a result, the person on the bridge screamed and ran away…

I’m sorry. I’m not a dangerous person. I didn’t do this for this reason.

But what to say to someone who is already running away? Instead of making excuses, I just shook off the water.

I felt somewhat relieved.

The reason for this is unknown.

Getting out of the situation without worrying about the catfish?

Are the emotions that were overwhelming you evaporating under the weight of absurdity?

Or because the cool lake took away the traces of reddened eyes and the few tears that had been shed.

When I hit Berserker, I succeeded in punching with a lot of self-interest, as if I was just venting my anger.

When you focus on the fight, not only do you not get distracted, but even useless thoughts disappear.

Maybe it’s all of them, maybe it’s not.

Before I remembered all that, I felt happy about a fight for the first time in a very long time.

Well, it wasn’t a strange feeling.

This is a fight that started with an agreement – on the surface it looks like I was caught up in Berserker’s actions, but in reality, I was the one who gave permission, so it was an agreement – wasn’t it a fight?

In other words, I can just engage in pure fighting spirit without worrying about killing Berserker or Berserker killing me.

As if playing a game.

But will anyone other than us die in this fight? Is there something I need to keep obsessively?

no. No matter what the outcome of this fight is, it will not change anyone’s future or change the landscape of anything.

In other words, there is not a single element that would cause me stress.

I felt like I was having fun playing a game for the first time in a long time.

“—After.”

Of course… yes. It was a bit absurd to see a platinum-colored figure that looked like a Berserker running around the edge of the land.

The speed is quite fast, so it doesn’t seem like they want to talk about the end of the fight.

I thought this was the end of the fight.

But it’s not that I don’t like it. okay. I don’t hate it.

In the first place, I like fighting and fighting like this, so I only choose action RPGs.

I avoided it when I joined because I thought it would be annoying if I got involved, but now that I’m already involved, there’s no reason to care.

“Evil—demon—spirit—death!”

Therefore, I held on to the extended sword properly.

As long as Berserker’s fighting spirit was on fire, the concept would never back down, and I had no intention of avoiding it either.

“Go for it, idiot.”

Ah, but doesn’t this feel a bit like PVP (player versus player) with friends?

It feels like you’re really enjoying the game.

“I’ll tell you the difference in rank.”

A stream of water that had become lukewarm due to body temperature flowed down my cheek.

* * *

As soon as the fierce white wind finished its important work, it lay down on the sofa. This is because even an archmage cannot do anything about the fatigue accumulated while traveling through the Great Forest.

smart!

But how can the world be so cruel?

Not even an hour had passed since I closed my eyes, when a knock came through the soundproofing spell.

It was somewhat inevitable that White Wind, who had been trying to sleep while snoring, half woke up, struggled, and fell under the sofa.

smart!

“Uh uhh.”

Oh my, my waist. White Wind sighed and snapped his fingers. The door suddenly opened.

“…Did you sleep?”

However, the person who was about to enter hesitated for a moment in the dark room. It was natural for White Wind to be taken aback by the voice he heard.

“…Then you’re not going to sleep through that mess?”

I ended up sleeping on the street twice on the way, and I arrived in the city during the day, so of course it wasn’t time to sleep.

But was the two-day journey through the forest easy? It is said that the inconvenience was alleviated thanks to magic, but does being homeless mean that the fatigue can be completely relieved?

White Wind was more amazed by the Archmage with a normal face.

He may be younger and have more stamina from adventures, and lastly, there are racial differences, but isn’t this too extreme?

“hmm. “When you go around with the devil knight, it’s because this is your daily routine.”

“What kind of march have you been on? Rather, the devil knight decides?”

“That’s not true… I often go out alone like this time.”

Rather than the hero leading the party, it seems like the party members are leading it.

However, considering the devil knight’s temperament, it wasn’t a very strange picture.

Where can even a warrior have the temperament to snip away? The warrior himself doesn’t seem to have the personality to take the lead—if strictly speaking, he’s experienced the world less, so it seems like it’s still difficult for him to stay centered.

“Okay, so what’s your business?”

The white wind clicked its tongue in pity.

He’s old enough to own a branch or open a research center and have fun, but he’s struggling for no reason. Well, thinking about what happened back then, it doesn’t seem like there will ever be a need to open a research lab again.

Regardless, the situation has already been broken.

White Wind turned on the fire and heated the water to drive a wedge into his fully awakened mind. Tea leaves, which have an stimulating effect, floated in the air in accordance with the gesture.

“I just came to ask you a small favor. “It’s not serious or going to last long, so you don’t need to make tea.”

“Oh yeah?”

Then, without hesitation.

The white wind put down the tea leaves again and brought honey. I also changed the heated water to milk. There is no better medicine for sleep than milk mixed with honey.

“If I had known you would sleep, I would have postponed it until later.”

“Okay, I’m already awake. Rather, it’s a small favor you can ask.”

White Wind combed through his messy hair with a hand comb and tapped the table with his other hand.

“Do you think that has anything to do with what I was trying to ask you?”

“…Did you have something to ask me? “You?”

“huh.”

The milk is all heated up. White Wind scooped up a large piece of honey and dipped it into the white liquid. The golden liquid was immersed in white.

“It’s nothing special, but there’s one thing I gave to the demon knight? But since this is so dangerous, I wrote down a spell to prevent people from harming the general public and to discourage anyone but magic users from touching it, right?”

“…so?”

“But it’s amazing! While I was lying down sick from my injury, it completely disappeared. “Isn’t it really amazing?”

“….”

Everything melted. The white wind picked up the spoon. Ting. The spoon and teacup lightly clinked together, making a clear sound.

“Is it you? “You took it, right?”

Accordingly, the Archmage also added honey to the heated milk. Fondant. The milk rippled.

“Why are you asking if you know?”

“Ahahaha!”

The moment the answer reached his ears, White Wind burst into laughter.

cancer. If you’re a warrior, you won’t see its value, and if you’re a wizard, there’s no need to take a bomb. So I suspected this, but who would have thought this would be true?

Moreover, he was a person who had been somewhat harsh towards the demon knight not long ago.

“I thought it might have become a bit toxic in the great forest, but it turned out to be true. “Did what I said really bother you?”

“then. “I guess that didn’t bother you?”

“Haha. “Then I guess what I’m asking you to do this time is related to that.”

“If the Demon Knight asked me to make the chest protector again, then yes. It’s similar. “I came to ask you to remove the explosion magic there.”

“Ahaha!”

The White Wind laughed out loud once again. He was truly a person who missed expectations on some days and did not deviate from them even an inch on other days. Archmage.

“But what? “This isn’t a gift, it’s the price of a contract, so it’s a bit unfair for me to take it out.”

“is it? Then, let me subcontract.”

“Then the Magic Tower becomes a group that doesn’t even properly check deliveries. “That’s difficult for someone who makes a living on credit?”

But it’s good that he’s that kind of person. The Magic Tower, known as the Spire of Intelligence, needed such benevolence the most.

“Credibility that comes from principle. Of course it’s important. But is it really on life?”

After all, knowledge is a sword without eyes and power without ego.

“What if it goes crazy?”

“I won’t do it. I’m convinced of that after this incident. That’s my belief. “It’s about trust between people who want to take precedence over principles.”

If someone who knows love like an Archmage does not wield knowledge, where would the blade go?

“Give up my trust for yours. “It’s too much.”

“I’m sorry.”

“But… it’s not bad. “I decided not to trust your eyes when it comes to people, but why don’t I trust you about everything one more time?”

Above all, there was no separate contract regarding the chest protection issue. Even if the devil knight were to question it, there was no evidence in the world.

So there is no harm in accepting it. The White Wind granted its friend’s wish with extremely profitable thinking.

“Instead, give me back what you took. “Let’s disassemble it and use it again.”

“However much.”

In addition, material costs were also saved. It was a perfect advantage.

Bang bang bang!

“…?”

However, it seemed like there was something called karma in the world.

“Where did you learn the habit of knocking like that?”

“I’m sorry, Great Sage. Because it is such a serious matter….”

“If it is not as serious as this incident, we will cut your department’s research funding. say.”

“That guy…the demon knight and his companion…”

“They?”

“You tore the bridge connecting the Magic Tower and the village into small pieces.”

White Wind, who tried to cheat by saying he didn’t write a contract, ended up spitting out the milk he had been holding in the face of the disaster.
