Tutorial Level 17 (1)
“Hello! Hello! ”
Normally, it was energetic, but today it was even more amazing.
Kirikiri leaps for a long time and starts squatting in a bunny pose.
Looking at it for a moment, Kirikiri was far away from his voice.
There he is again. He hasn’t done that in a while.
Instead of raising my voice and calling a distant Kirikiri, I opened the shop window and bought a cream cake.
Kirikiri turns around and sprints toward me, as expected.
You noticed as soon as you bought the cake.
From that far away.
What a gag.
Kirikiri ran up to me one day and asked me, shining his eyes gleaming brightly.
“Can I eat too? Me, too! ”
“Yes, eat. I bought it for you. ”
“Thank you, Wong!”
I was excited and held a fork in Kirikiri’s hand to rush to the cake.
If I don’t have a fork, I’ll smash him with my bare hands.
“Why are you so excited today? Did something good happen? ”
“Hiiing, I was. ”
Kirikiri replied with a mouthful of cream cake.
Something must have happened.
What could he possibly be doing in this field all day?
Have any of the other Hell difficulty challengers ever met Kirikiri by completing a stage?
I’ll send a message to Lee Hyung-jin later.
Did Lee Hyung-jin succeed in clearing Level 4?
I heard you’re having a hard time clearing.
With your defensive fortress and central city in the background, the mission of the Four-story Boss Room to defeat the Goblin King in the city centre is not easy to complete.
It’s a good imaginary mission for Lee Hyun-jin, an assassin clan, but it’s a problem because there are so many enemies.
Suddenly, Kirikiri stops eating the cake, and I see him choking on it.
I bought a cup of coffee from the shop window and gave it to Kirikiri.
“Drink and eat slowly. ”
“Hee hee hee! ”
Kirikiri gulps down the coffee he gave him like a wild drink.
And…
“Ugh, write… ”
Of course it is. It’s America.
Kirikiri frowned and put down his cup of coffee.
I laughed inside because it looked cute and funny.
I took one sugar cube out of my inventory and gave it to him to drink in my coffee.
Kirikiri put the sugar cube in his mouth instead of pouring it into coffee.
And I felt like it was delicious.
Is it really that sweet?
* * *
“Hing, you’ll have to wait to read this. ”
When I showed Kirikiri the copy I had copied for the Doppelgänger, she said.
Kirikiri briefly explained while looking at the book with the words written in it.
“That’s a lot of information. It’s a pretty good summary. But there are still too many Runes. It’s almost impossible to interpret patterns alone, and even if possible, it takes too long, making it inefficient. You’ll have to learn Runic first, but you haven’t found the books you need to learn Runic yet. ”
“You can’t get the book? ”
I said, “Yeah, first you have to go over 30 floors to get a book from the store window. ”
“Is there such a limit? I didn’t hear that from the challengers on the other side. ”
“There is a difference in difficulty as well as the number of floors. For the record, this is expensive information. ”
Was it expensive information….
Can’t you tell me that before you tell me that?
No, I’m glad I told you.
And since Kirikiri thought it would help me make a judgment call, he must have told me.
Hmm…….
We should postpone studying magic for a while.
At least until it reaches more than 30 floors.
“Oh, I learned the magic of Wind Arrow, and I didn’t succeed, but can you give me some information about it? ”
“Hmmm… Wait a minute, it’s blurry. ”
Kirikiri pondered for a moment and asked me shortly.
“If you tell me this, I won’t be able to give you any information about the competition. ”
Is that so?
There will be a second contest soon.
It will be in the next car right away, so there are only a few days left.
Of course, the vigilantes are gathering information about the competition.
“It’s okay.”
However, the vigilantes had already gathered some information about the second race.
So you could get me intel on the doppelgangers.
“Then I’ll let you know. I’m only gonna say this briefly once, so you have to listen. ”
“Got it.”
Kirikiri clears his throat and starts explaining.
“All you need to understand and use your attributes. It’s impossible to learn at your level. But it’s as windy as it gets. Wind Spirit’s Blessing. It’s over.”
After all, it was a suggestion to improve your understanding of attributes related to Wind Spirit Blessing Skills.
Because it was a new skill, above all, a piece of magic advice, even that brief content would have to be summed up.
If I hadn’t learned the Wind Spirit’s Blessing Skill, it would have been even harder.
“Thank you.”
“Heeheehee, this is my role. ”
Opens a status window to view information about the Wind Spirit’s Blessing Skill.
[Wind Spirit’s Blessing (Lv.5)]
Description: Wind Spirit’s Blessing just entered childhood is with you.
Agility +10
Step 1: Once you reach a certain speed, you will be blessed by the forest.
Step 2: Get accelerated when you reach a certain speed.
Step 3: The Spirit of the Wind is always with you. When you are in crisis, the Wind Spirit will do its best to cheer you on.
After the Wind Spirit’s Blessing Skill level reaches level 5, it reveals a three-step description of the skill that was only marked with a question mark.
But I didn’t really care.
What does he care if he supports me with all his might with an invisible spirit?
“Kirikiri, isn’t there some kind of hidden effect on spirit support? ”
“No, I don’t. I told you the other day. Well, if it works, it makes me feel better watching the cute spirits cheering for me. ”
I was……
After realizing that the three levels of effect I was hoping for were meaningless, I forgot the Wind Spirit’s Blessing Skill for a while.
Agility Boost and other buff effects are definitely effective, but since they are passive skills, you don’t have to worry about them.
The last time I paid attention to the Wind Spirit’s Blessing Skill, I acquired a skill called Spirit Affinity.
[Spirit Affinity (Lv.2)]
Description: A little more familiar with spirits.
It had no effect except that it became a little more familiar with the spirit written in the description.
Kirikiri also explained that Spirit Affinity skills are only skills that are more familiar with Spirits.
But what are you going to do with an invisible spirit?
I don’t even know how my skill level got up to level 2 in the first place.
Skills that were forgotten like that, but now they might be a hint of magic.
Should I use Wind Spirit Blessing Skills to accurately sense the spiritual energy that is around me, while invisible, and understand its properties through it?
Since the magic I’m going to use is the Wind Arrow, it should be helpful to feel the energy of the Wind Spirit.
You can think of it as something similar to the Divine Power you feel in magic.
In the sacred incantation used by the paladin, I felt no peculiarity.
But on stage on the 13th floor, I felt a similar sensation to my power skills in the heart of the fighting god unfolding in that space itself.
He said it was a sense of holiness.
In other words, I can feel the sacred power now, but only at the level that God exerts power directly can I feel the sacred power properly.
Once you become familiar with sacred power, you will be able to sense signs of sacred power not only in such powerful power, but also in basic sacred spells.
In that way, let’s start by getting used to the Wind Spirit’s Energy and feeling it.
If you can sense the energy around you while you raise your concentration to its limit, you might feel something.
I organized my thoughts and checked the time.
[17th, 24th, 2130]
It’s a blur.
There’s only 30 days left to challenge the 17th floor, so it’s a vague long time to practice in the waiting room.
Should we just focus on training for the rest of our lives?
That’s what I was thinking, and Kirikiri poked me in the arm.
“Why?”
“Hmmm… I think you should try the challenge directly on the 17th floor. ”
Hmm…….
It is quite rare for Kirikiri to give advice without asking.
Why should I challenge you directly on the 17th floor?
If the challenge time for the 17th floor stage is only five days, or shorter, you can advise them to challenge it immediately.
But that’s not so important that Kirikiri needs to step up and advise first.
I turned my head for a moment, but nothing came to mind.
“Why? Can you tell me why? ”
Kirikiri gives you a slight look of distress, then shakes his head.
“We can’t afford to run out of quota. ”
Of course you are.
Information about the next stage is quite expensive.
Not as much as information about God or the system.
“I’ve used up the remaining quota, but can’t you just give me a clue? ”
There won’t be much quota left anyway.Let’s just use it to solve the curiosity.
As Kirikiri continues to be troubled, he changes his words and asks again.
“Is that the good side for me or the bad side? ”
I think I can answer that.
However, unlike Kirikiri would happily answer, Kirikiri’s troubled expression did not resolve.
Kirikiri hesitated a few times and tightly closed his eyes.
“That’s a good one. But he won’t like it much. ”
I can’t believe I’m not going to like this…
It’s strange.
It’s not weird that I don’t like the content of the stage that much.
There were many stages that were rated as being able to pass safely.
But those stages were usually accompanied by misery, dirt and discomfort during the clearing process, and I didn’t like those stages.
Therefore, there is nothing unusual about Kirikiri’s own words that I would not like.
But Kirikiri’s attitude is a little strange.
This was the first stage where I said I would be uncomfortable, I would be tired, I would be annoyed, and I was expressive enough.
“Then… I’ll challenge you as you say. ”
Challenge and you’ll see why.
That’s how I organized my thoughts and greeted Kirikiri.
“I’ll be back then, Kirikiri. ”
“Yes.”
Kirikiri dropped me off with a short greeting.
Hearing her escort, I was moved from the field to the waiting room.
When I entered the waiting room, I felt embarrassed again.
This is the first time Kirikiri has ever let me out so boldly.
I used to wave my hands brightly all the time.
Greetings about the stuttering and the cake.
I feel terrible about this.
I’m nervous.
You climb up the portal in the corner of the waiting room, holding the awkwardness and driving the portal.
You are approaching the stage on the 17th floor, past the campfire chamber arriving through the portal.
[Welcome to the 17th floor stage on Tutorial Hell difficulty level.]
The 17th floor stage was a big room.
There were no other features or problems.
I stood alone in a space with nothing.
What, this stage.
[Gateway to 17th floor begins.]
[Gateway to 17th floor closes.]
[You have completed the Tutorial, Hell difficulty level 17.]
[Heals all status conditions and injuries.]
[You won 3,000 points as a Clear Reward.]
[You won 3,000 points as the first clear reward.]
[There are many gods who have a positive reaction to you. You have earned 800 points.]
[There are many gods who have a negative reaction to you. 200 points will be deducted.]
[Gives additional rewards based on play history.]
[You won 3,000 points as an additional reward.]
What the hell?
I don’t even know what that means.
Why does it end as soon as the Gateway starts?
What was I supposed to do in the first place that made it clear?
It was inconceivable.
This is ridiculous.
I tried to understand this phenomenon somehow, but I couldn’t think of any answers.
You scratch your head for a moment, then climb up to the portal.
Ask Kirikiri.
Now that you have cleared the 17th floor, you can use that quota to ask.
“Go.”
In less than a minute, I return to the field of Kirikiri.
Unlike when I cleared the 16th floor, Kirikiri welcomed me with a slightly depressing tone.
“… I knew you’d be here soon. ”
