Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 75
# 75
75. Taming (2)
Jenna scratched her cheek and blinked.
It was a puzzled expression. I said.
“What are you doing? It’s not going up. Two people are waiting.”
“You’re asking me to fight those two? It’s scary for some reason…”
“Don’t worry. You’re stronger.”
It is true.
Jenna had the experience of winning me once. It was the result of a mix of ugliness and half luck, but winning was winning. I don’t think I’ll lose against two people who don’t match at all.
Belquist’s eyes went cold.
“I heard you well. But aren’t you ignoring me too much? I don’t know about you, but I don’t think you’ll lose to that young lady.”
“You’ll know if you try.”
“More than anything, I don’t like fighting with her. I’m good enough on my own. It’s just a hindrance.”
“You do what I say.”
The two looked at each other and started growling.
I didn’t think it was good, but it seemed worse than that.
I said.
“Then show me the results. If you beat Jenna, I’ll fight for as long as you want.”
“I hope you don’t break that promise.”
I chinned Jenna.
Jenna hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply and took a quiver from the display case. The quiver contains an arrow with a round tip. Its killing power is weak, but it has the penetrating power to tear flesh and muscle.
“I will leave it up to you.”
Entering the arena, Jenna greeted awkwardly.
Belquist nodded and spoke to Nerissa.
“You are out.”
Nerissa smiled coldly and slid aside.
Belquist gripped the hilt of the sword.
“I’m going.”
ping!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zena’s arrow was shot. Belquist ducked to avoid it. At the same time, a second arrow aimed at the leg. Avoided that too. At the same time, a third arrow aimed at Belquist’s head.
ping! Ping ping ping ping!
Belquist’s expression hardened.
A red light flashed in Jenna’s eyes. The effect of spotting weaknesses. In addition, rapid fire followed by rapid fire aimed at Belquist’s whole body. Belquist swung his sword and knocked out several arrows, but he was helplessly pushed back and cornered in the arena.
And the 21st arrow grazed the nape of Belquist’s neck and got stuck in the barbed wire fence.
obvious mismatch.
Had he tried to hit it, the arrow would have lodged itself in Belquist’s airways.
I spoke to Belquist, who was frozen in the corner of the arena.
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m stronger than you.”
Jenna faced me dozens of times, who had a strong resistance to throwing weapons.
He knew very well how to shoot an arrow to make it difficult for the opponent to avoid and block it. If it got caught properly, there was no way Belquist could handle the difficult shots.
“Was it a frog in the well?”
Belquist caressed the wound on his neck.
“I say it again. Fight together with Nerissa. The two of you must work together to defeat Jenna. The deadline is two days. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to find another member.”
I spoke.
“We fight many enemies, strong enemies in our missions. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know. But why are you trying to fight alone? You’re not even basic.”
In the initial briefing, both of them replied that they knew, but the reality would be different.
There are things you cannot do alone.
I was thinking of making this perfectly clear.
“Isn’t it my turn?”
Nerissa stepped out.
‘Stubborn.’
Nerissa didn’t last long with Jenna. All of the throwing spears and daggers missed, and before reaching the range of the three swords, an arrow pierced his right arm.
Nerissa left the arena without a word.
Then he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow.
I chuckled.
“As you can see the result. Both of them lasted less than a minute in the individual event.”
The difference in level and skill cannot be denied.
However, he lacked experience as well.
Belquist brushed off the blood on his left hand and said.
“Can we beat that lady together? Okay. I don’t like it, but I’ll try.”
When Belquist glared at him, Jenna smiled shyly.
After healing her wounds, Nerissa returned to the arena. There was a rare enthusiasm in his cold expression. Belquist and Nerissa stood side by side.
“Game 2. It won’t be easy this time.”
Jenna replaced the empty quiver.
“I’m going.”
Belquist and Nerissa scattered left and right.
It was the same way it used to pincer me.
‘It’s terrible.’
Jenna’s continuous shot was fired at Nerissa on the right.
As Nerissa’s three swords danced and bounced arrows, Jenna quickly ran out and swung the dagger in her left hand. A thin stream of blood spurted out. Nerissa stepped aside, missing the triple sword. Jenna changed her weapon in the same way she swung the dagger, then somersaulted and fired an arrow. The target is Belquist on the left.
The results were unchanged.
Belquist lasted longer than the first time, but was unable to break through the rain of arrows.
I said in a low voice.
“What are you doing? You’re worse than alone.”
thud!
Belquist hit the barbed wire fence with her scabbard.
“Damn it.”
“It doesn’t change even if you curse. Or should I join the 2nd party? They don’t train like this there.”
“I’ll do it again just once.”
Belquist and Nerissa returned to their original positions.
Even on the way back, the two exchanged accusations.
“You can’t even last 10 seconds. You’re really useless.”
“Don’t tell others. A guy who can’t even swing a knife.”
Iolka said, flapping her fan.
“Those two are strangely well suited. Don’t you think so?”
“What are you doing here? Isn’t it telekinesis training time now?”
“No, me too…”
“If you don’t disappear within 10 seconds, I’ll tell Chloe. 10, 9…”
“Go in! Go in! Anyway, for real!”
Iolka hurriedly opened the door to the magic hall and entered.
I turned my gaze to the arena.
The second match between Jenna and Belquist Nerisa was taking place. Again, the two tactics are the same. Everyone splits up and fights in their own way.
‘Things I can’t understand with words.’
The guys whose heads are not bad are not thinking.
I’m realizing it, but maybe my pride doesn’t allow it.
I decided not to open my mouth.
You can forcibly direct tactics, but if you don’t realize it yourself, if you don’t feel the need, it’s meaningless. I don’t need a doll that just obeys my orders.
The results of the second round also came naturally.
It was Jenna’s victory.
3rd round, 4th round, 5th round.
The two adhered to the same tactics and met the same defeat. Both of them got used to Jenna’s shooting little by little, but Jenna’s case is different from Aaron’s. It was not difficult to play with the two by mixing various tactics such as shooting according to the situation and changing the position of the weapon.
“…”
I glanced around.
Aaron is looking at the arena with a bitter expression. The hand that moved the window stopped.
‘Can not help it.’
It does not interfere with the 2nd party’s territory.
It belonged to Edith. Along with other parties that will increase later.
The system collapses when I put my hands on it one by one. I don’t know if I was the master, but as the leader and hero of the 1st party, I couldn’t look after all the members in the waiting room. Aaron soon turned his head away from the arena and resumed training.
“Once more.”
“No. I…”
Jenna waved at Belquist’s words.
By now, it was evening. The number of times Jenna and the two faced each other was more than 10.
It all ended with Jenna’s victory.
“Ms. Jenna, it’s going to be hard…”
“It’s hard for me to watch too. Today is the end. Do it again tomorrow.”
“There’s still a lot of time left, isn’t it?”
“Because of you guys, Jenna couldn’t do personal training today. Don’t take other people’s time.”
I thought I would win the game within 10 innings, but my progress is slower than expected.
I couldn’t get my hands on the afternoon training because I was watching the two of them. It was a loss.
“As I said, the deadline is until tomorrow. Beat Jenna within that time. If that doesn’t work, I’ll find another member too.”
“Are you serious?”
“Does it look like a joke?”
He knew that Belquist and Nerissa were no good for Jenna.
But after fighting so much, I couldn’t find a solution.
“Tomorrow’s Dalian is only allowed once. If we lose there, it’s over.”
“…”
“Don’t disappoint me.”
Belquist and Nerissa’s expressions contorted.
The two of them left the training center without anyone knowing. didn’t say anything
Jenna wiped the sweat from her forehead and left the arena. Perhaps because of the repeated sparring, her face was a little pale. Jenna asked me.
“Brother, are you serious? You’re sending those two out.”
“Did you see that I lied?”
“I’ve seen it quite a few times. Well, the other day…”
I punched Jenna in the head.
Jenna grabbed her head and cried.
“Anyway, that’s true. Even if you have great talent, it’s useless if you don’t know how to cooperate.
“Well, I agree with you. But, except for the two of them, there doesn’t seem to be anyone who’s talented enough to come to the 1st party. I don’t think Aaron oppa…” “It’s
not Aaron.”
On the way home after today’s personal training.
Jenna asked me.
“What will happen tomorrow?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
there’s no way you don’t know how
It’s just that you don’t trust the co-worker next to you. Or believe in yourself too much. Either way, it was an inappropriate disposition to survive for long.
‘But if you can change that…’
The next morning.
Belquist and Nerissa didn’t show up for morning training.
Iolka opened her mouth.
“Two of you, where did you go?
“No, I went to the first floor.”
“Why on the first floor?”
“He asked me to give him some time.”
Yesterday at dawn, Nerissa came to the room.
The purpose is to ask for two people to be removed from tomorrow’s training schedule. I readily agreed.
Iolka’s complexion brightened.
“Then today’s training…”
“Two people are missing, so I’ll have to increase the intensity.”
“I knew it!”
Gizzards were added to Iolka that morning.
and afternoon.
The two only showed up at the training center as the time approached evening. I sheathed my sword and approached them both.
“Are you ready enough?”
“As much as you can.”
Nerissa replied.
Belquist was expressionless, but the desire to compete could be seen in his eyes.
“Jenna.”
“Yes, I’m coming.”
Jenna, who was practicing at the shooting range, came down.
Jenna wiped her sweat with a towel and looked at them alternately.
“Are you both ready? My brother said it was a single plate.”
“It’s ready.”
“I’ll go up first.”
Jenna agilely stood on top of the arena.
Two daggers were hanging on the left side of her belt, and a shortbow and quiver were hanging on the right side.
“Do as we agreed.”
Nerissa whispered to Belquist.
Belquist furrowed her eyebrows, but then untied them again. Then
the two entered the arena. The iron window slammed shut.
“The rules are as they were said yesterday. Use of actual weapons. No other restrictions. You only have one chance.”
“I know.”
Nerissa drew her three swords.
Belqist also unsheathed them. Belqist straightened up and muttered.
“It’s not for me. But I can’t help it.”
The match begins.
As always, Jenna starts the fight first.
“…?”
Jenna tilted her head instead of pulling out an arrow
. ” I’m going
anyway!”
Zena’s arrow was shot at Nerissa.
Nerissa has weaker throwing resistance than Belquist. It was difficult to parry the arrow with a sharp sword with a thin blade. Throw the weak side down first. A natural decision But
Belquist, who was standing next to her, moved and split an arrow that was aimed at Nerissa.
Nerissa then threw a dagger.
Jenna managed to roll her body to avoid the dagger. At the same time, a second shot followed. Jenna was in any position. It had the ability to continue shooting. Two arrows aimed at Nerissa’s body.
“Now I can see it.”
[Skill Awakening!]
[‘Belquist (★★)’ has acquired ‘Throwing Resistance’. !]
As Belquist swung his sword, the arrows fell side by side.
Belquist, holding the blade to the side, rushed at Jenna.
“It’s too far.”
Jenna calmly bore the arrow through the string.
The distance between the two sides wasn’t close. It was still in Zena’s territory. Five arrows were fired at Belquist, aiming for vital points and gaps in movement.
Belquist dodged one arrow and knocked out two. Two
arrows remained. Unavoidable bearing and speed. However, Bell Kist didn’t stop charging in. Nerissa suddenly appeared from behind and split the two arrows with a sharp sword.
‘It took two days.’
I sighed. ”
If you can’t block it alone, you can block it together. You didn’t
know something simple, so you delayed like that.
Belquist and Nerissa covered each other’s weak points, broke through the fire, and came close to Jenna’s attack range. The
two From there, it split left and right, and
joined at the same time.
‘It’s over.’
“Oops!”
Jenna kicked the barbed wire and jumped up to avoid Belqist’s slash.
The dagger chased after Jenna. Then Nerissa rose to the same position and stabbed her with a dagger. Along with that, Belqist stabbed her from the bottom up. “Ugh!”
Jenna’s posture faltered. The dress was torn. Nerissa
grabbed Jenna who hadn’t caught it yet.
The dagger in her left hand touched Jenna’s neck.
“It’s over.”
“I lost, I lost. ”
?”
Jenna scratched her head.
“It’s this easy.”
Belquist murmured dejectedly.
I laughed and stepped out. ”
I struggled all day because I didn’t know how easy it was.”
No.
There, the fact that the strength of the group takes precedence over the strength of the individual. It’s just that they couldn’t accept it emotionally. I only made them realize that part
.
“If we fight like this, can you beat the seniors?”
“Would you like to try?”
I pulled out my sword
and, of course,
the two of them were mercilessly smashed by me.
