Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 80

# 80

80. Continuing (2)

!

Fire spreads in all directions.

The flames approached me, heating the iron fence red. The heat touches the skin. The heat was unusual even for me who had fire resistance. but.

I took a light step to the right and jumped in.

The fire chased me, but it was too late. The blade touched the nape of Iolka’s neck. Iolka waved her hand away with a displeased look, and the flames died out.

“It’s slow. Can’t you go a little faster?”

“Didn’t I tell you to start with firepower first?

“I said that, but there’s nothing wrong with learning it.”

I smiled and drew my sword.

10th win just now. What I felt after a couple of sparring was that Iolka was a weakling if she fought alone. The power of magic doubled from the beginning due to the steady rise in stats, but the control was still the same. There was no meager defense magic, so it was enough to go out in a speed battle and aim for a gap.

‘It’s time to learn the primate skill.’

The current Iolka needs skills such as multiple chanting and high-speed chanting.

If you use high-speed chanting, casting time can be drastically reduced, and if you learn multiple chanting, you can mix flame-type magic with telekinesis to gain flexibility. It was a goal I advised, and one Iolka agreed to.

“I’m next.”

Belquist, who was standing outside the arena, stormed inside.

He had already drawn his sword.

“I don’t give you a break, you guys.”

“I thought you were getting sick from watching.”

“Okay, okay. Come, both of you. I don’t want to waste your time.”

Belquist looked at Iolka and raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t want to fight with a wizard.”

“If you don’t like Miss Nerissa and I don’t like it, who should I fight with?”

“I hate to answer.”

“What a prick!”

The two grumbled, but prepared themselves.

Belquist had also mastered fire resistance a few days ago. At least I won’t be caught up in Iolka’s magic. I got into a position.

“I’m going.”

Belquist’s eyes sank.

In an instant, the body dispersed and rushed to the left. To the right, Iolka’s flames blazed silently. At first glance, it seems like a clumsy pass, but the timing is correct. I took out my shield and waited for the attack to come.

After that morning schedule was over.

[Skill Awakening!]

[‘Belquist (★★)”s ‘Lesser Swordsmanship’ has become Lv.5!]

Belqist raised his weapon skill level to 5.

It was a significant growth rate. His talent is excellent, but his efforts are not lagging behind. Strong will and perseverance. couldn’t be faster

‘Suddenly me too.’

Not a little time has passed since my weapon skills reached level 7.

I feel aware that it is time to climb. If you give it a little chance, you will break through 8 and take a shot at intermediate weapon skills.

There is a huge difference in weapon skills between lower and intermediate levels.

Also, along with a trained body, weapon skills were the most basic foundation. No matter how many miscellaneous skills you have, if your weapon skills are low, you are just an empty gangjeong.

Tung!

At the shooting range, Jenna is pulling a bow.

He is using a large bow that covers the entire upper body, not the small bow he has used so far. A heavy sound rang out every time the string was pulled. The arrow pierced the target 100m away.

The way you handle it is different from when you use a shortbow.

Jenna’s middle finger was wet with blood. He was injured while pulling a thick and thick bowstring.

Tung!

The second arrow pierced the center of the protest.

Accurate and sophisticated workmanship close to sniping. I realized the method even though no one else taught me. Its power was incomparable to that of a shortbow. Sooner or later you will learn the longbow skill.

At the shelter on one side of the training ground, Aaron and Usher were fighting, clashing spears and swords.

Both of them had a weapon skill level of 4. Until this morning, they were the same as Belquist, but now they were overtaken.

“I can definitely feel it.”

Belquist, who was sitting in the chair, smiled viciously.

In addition to weapon skills, Belquist also raised the level of insight.

“I can see everything. If it were me, I could win in 5 minutes.”

“To brag about having climbed it once. It’s still a long way off.”

“Well, I guess.”

There is only one sparring field in the training center on the second floor.

Because it is shared by the 2nd party, we cannot monopolize it forever. It was shared over time.

Of course, most of the time we spend.

This is because the level up of the 1st party has already finished. I whispered softly

‘Status window.’

[Han Israt (★★) Lv. 19(Exp 42/150)]

[Class: Novice]

[Strength: 43/43]

[Intelligence: 10/10]

[Stamina: 39/39] [

Agility: 37/37]

[Possessed Skill: Lesser Swordsman Art (Lv.7) Mind’s Eye (Lv.5) Fire Resistance (Lv.3) Pain Resistance (Lv.4) Calmness (Lv.5) Berserk (Lv.4) Stealth (Lv.1) Horsemanship (Lv.1) )]

My current level is 19.

My strength is well over 40, and my stamina and agility are close to that.

Fire resistance and composure, berserkness increase by 1 level.

There was less than one level left until 20, the turning point between 3-star promotion and job transfer.

‘…’

I gave strength to the water cup in my hand.

Ugjeok.

The iron cup was crumpled like paper. I set the shattered cup on the table. Wait a while and it will recover.

‘It’s a little strange.’

Ever since I was promoted to 2 stars, my growth rate has been going back and forth between 5 and 6. 5 is the average of 3 stars. And 6 was the average of 4 stars. Already, the sum of my overall stats wasn’t two-star. To the point where other Masters would laugh at my stats, calling them manipulation.

If you don’t attach a sand bag that weighs close to 30 kg, you won’t be able to exercise.

The 100m running record was close to 8 seconds. I could stand on my hands and do push-ups non-stop. Until now, if the body was close to human limits, now it is clearly out of human.

And above all,

I feel something different every time I swing the sword.

The time when I realized that was right after I changed my job to 2 stars. In the past, it was natural to use a sword and shield together, but now it is becoming unnatural little by little.

‘Is it time to throw away the shield?’

I’m not good with shields.

It was clear from the fact that he had not learned skills related to defense. If you can afford to break through the 20th floor, it seemed that you should separate the skills.

[Gather at the 2nd party plaza!]

Isel’s voice called for the 2nd party.

Nominations following yesterday. It seemed like they were trying to spin the 18th floor like us.

“It’s not long before the competition.”

I got up from my chair.

The crumpled cup is fine. Belquist followed suit.

“I’ll go as soon as the 2nd party reaches a suitable level. Prepare so you won’t regret it.”

“Senpai, be careful too. It will be difficult if I catch up with you.”

“I like the confidence.”

I grinned and pulled the sword from the scabbard.

Iolka is in the Magic Hall. It was to find and study books related to casting in the library.

That night.

[Skill Awakening!]

[‘Han(★★)”s ‘Lesser Swordsmanship’ has become Lv.8!]

I broke through level 8 of the weapon skill.

Even while I was training, preparations for the climb progressed step by step.

The equipment made this time is D+ rank leather armor. In terms of the quality of the material, it was a pretty good grade. Several sets of leather armor were made and distributed to the 1st and 2nd parties. Besides that, Amkena also steadily crafted consumables such as throwing daggers and antidote recovery potions.

On the second floor, talented people who were useful to each other came up.

First, a pharmacist who said he could make a recovery potion. She was assigned to the Magic Hall.

Next, the guy from Dicka who became an instructor returned to the second floor. Dicka came to me and bowed her head several times, saying thank you for recommending me as an instructor. In addition, several assistants in auxiliary positions were mixed.

The third party also started full-fledged activities.

The 3rd party was climbing at a steeper pace than the 2nd party.

It was a natural action. This is because there is a possibility that up to 3 parties are needed to attack the 20th floor. Perhaps after this attack, it seemed that they would join the second floor as a formal attack party following the second party, rather than a simple gathering of prospects.

‘He’s preparing hard for the 20th floor.’

Level 20 is difficult.

If you saw the strategy I sent you, there’s no way you wouldn’t know.

I also suffered quite a bit on the 20th floor. Exactly three annihilations. However, there should not be a single failure here. Not only on the 20th floor, but also in all future missions.

I knew best how absurd this condition was, but I had no intention of giving up.

Use whatever is available.

And survive and return to Earth.

It has been my purpose that has never changed since I came here.

‘No matter what happens.’

I have overwritten the file.

The types of boss fights and various patterns are recorded in the file. It is not known exactly which guy will appear, but most of the strategies have been memorized.

I looked up at the sky.

The sky is covered with a whitish darkness.

Time for everyone to sleep. It was a deep dawn after the night had already passed.

The show is probably tomorrow.

As of yesterday, the leveling of the 2nd party was over.

A situation where even more reinforced equipment has been provided. Everyone was noticing.

‘It’s good because the timing is obvious.’

I laughed lightly.

I did that too. It is to give an unspoken signal before an attack.

Then, the next day,

the heroes prepare themselves.

In the morning I spoke to the people gathered in the restaurant.

“There’s no training today. We’ll wait until evening. Don’t lose your strength.”

All the members of Part 1 and Part 2 were gathered in the restaurant.

“If there’s anything wrong, report it. Like you can’t go out because you’re so scared. Then I’ll actively talk about it.”

“Are you asking me to synthesize it?”

Belquist laughed.

“Did you hear?”

“I’m afraid I’m not kidding.”

Edith was told.

“Party 2, ready?”

I looked at Edith and said. Behind him, the members of the 2nd party, including Roderick and Aaron, were sitting in turn.

“It’s done to a certain extent. I think I can compete.”

“You guys are going out this time too. It’s different from the 15th floor.”

“I know that.”

‘And even the 3rd party even though I’m not here.’

I opened my mouth while looking around the faces of the heroes.

“It will take some time for the master to connect. If there is something unfinished, do it. Write a will or whatever. If the person who writes the will dies, I will find it and tear it up myself.”

“Can we return safely from this mission?”

Edith looked at me and said.

There was anxiety in his eyes. I chuckled.

“If you do it right.”

I got up from my seat.

At this signal, people got up one by one and began to disperse. Some went to the kitchen to order something delicious, while others went in the direction of the dorm. A few groups were also seen going to the break room. In the midst of this, there was also a person who wrote a will.

“Do you really use it?”

“Namsa! Don’t mind.”

Iolka stuck out her tongue.

Iolka folded the paper and headed to her room. It seemed like he was trying to write it in his room. The restaurant was empty in less than a minute. I said to Aaron, who was still.

“Don’t let me break my promise.”

Aaron smiled and held the spear in his hand.

“I have no intention of dying.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Where is your brother going?”

“I’m going to take a nap or sleep.”

Of course, I have no intention of doing such a leisurely thing.

I was going to go through the data one more time in the room. Until Amkena connected.

The 20th floor was right in front of me.
