Time Stop Swordsman With Romantic Concept

19. The fate of the meteor

After the sparring between Meteor and Labian, the event that Zeke had specially prepared passed without incident after several trivial sparrings.

At most, there were only Yeon Hwa-ran, Shohei, and the S-class nominees who stepped forward first.

‘Can’t you? I’ve seen that from the beginning.’

If it was usual, the jockeys would have yelled at me saying that all of them were cowards, but I decided to understand this time.

“Good job. Everyone in the second year should go back.”

“Yes.”

Labian replies to the instructor as a representative and then turns his back to leave the exam hall.

Loneliness oozing from her back.

She pretends to be as calm as possible, but Yoosung can feel her shoulders shrink slightly.

‘Not too much.’

Labian is bearing the weight of her second year S class 1st place.

Her heaviness is proof of her glory in her.

However, there were times when I felt that it was too much for me to do.

Maybe now was the time.

All the other classmates won, but didn’t you lose alone?

That was the person who was ranked first in the grade.

No matter how much Yoosung praises Labian for her way of life, that fact does not disappear.

In the first place, the sophomores came to evaluate the newly enrolled young chicks.

It makes no sense to lose to the evaluation target.

But that actually happened.

Labian was defeated by Yuseong.

She was caught off guard, and it didn’t really matter that Yooseong was a powerful person outside of her imagination.

The only loser.

Only that fact of her must weigh her down.

Even though she was expressionless on the outside, she might be crying on the inside.

‘Still, I’m a bit sorry. I cheated and won.’

But she wouldn’t kneel like this.

[Standard Rival].

The reason why Ravian is expressed that way in the game formula is that she was actually not a genius, but a genius who worked hard with a clenched fist.

Work harder than anyone else and whip yourself more than anyone else.

A cliche that a gracefully swimming swan is moving his feet to die under the water.

Those words themselves are unfounded nonsense, but Ravian was such a person.

A lofty genius wizard.

Originally, a girl with a soft heart, a little brilliant and not a genius, but a girl who wants to make her reputation a reality by working hard beneath the surface.

There was no reason to dislike Yoosung.

“Then, Instructor Bonn will return after a brief meeting and call the confirmed class. Please wait a moment.”

Zeke left the exam hall.

As soon as the instructor left, the voices of the cadets rose without harming the ranks.

“Ah, when will you send it?”

“I want to lie down… ….”

“Isn’t it dawn?”

“Oh, 19 hours have passed since the test started.”

“So you have to get up in the morning according to schedule?”

“That makes no sense. I haven’t even been assigned yet, and I need to unpack.”

19 Hours, so…….

I definitely felt tired.

Yooseong closed her eyes and thought.

‘Anyway, I defeated Labian, who was originally supposed to be impossible to defeat. Will this change anything?’

I did this because I assumed that the butterfly effect was meaningless now, but I couldn’t help but think about the aftermath.

‘That guy who learned about this news had questions before committing suicide and became interested in me.’

Wizardry Caliber is a game whose story changes over and over again.

The most complete part of this sh*t game is the story.

I wasn’t saying the story was good.

The bug chunk is the only normal feeling in the game.

Anyway, the story changes depending on the round, and other games almost always made it possible to see the true ending only by repeating the round.

However, this game was different.

I just hid the information, and as long as I had all the information in my head, it was possible to see the true ending even in the first episode.

It was in a similar context that Yoosung was holding the ‘vessel hungry for ghosts’, which is normally not present in the first playthrough.

And Yooseong, like a deceased person, had several times crashing the game in the first round.

Of course, it was a case of strong luck.

‘There is no guarantee that you will survive if you die in the game world. For me, this should be the last episode.’

I’d rather have no time stop ability and normal possession…… I thought.

Because it was pointless, I quit immediately.

‘I won’t be able to follow the story as it is, but I still have to pack all the supplies. Especially a hidden character, he’ll die if left alone.’

Not all characters can be played from the beginning, even if they are equally playable characters.

Representatively, Cruella, Julia, two in the second year, and one in the third year.

In addition to that, hidden characters and side characters are also locked.

The only characters that can be played in the first round are Yooseong, Anis, Shohei, Yeonhwaran, and Selene.

The rest exist only as NPCs, but are unlocked as playables when achievements are broken.

However, only one ‘hidden character’ can be unlocked only when the user directly moves and witnesses the event.

Even if you listen to this far, I think you can know what kind of characteristics the ‘hidden character’ I’m talking about has.

Yes.

An indispensable element in recent creations after a work in which a regressor plays a supporting role became an all-time mega hit.

He is a regressor who is stuck in a loop.

In the game story, there is a wall that can never be crossed no matter how many times the player tries.

Games are not for the characters in them, but for the players who are playing to pass the time.

She despairs over it and breaks her heart. Every time her memory returns, she commits suicide. Her name is Mil of Class 2 C.

All playable characters must be gathered to see the true ending.

The same was true for hidden characters who would take their own lives if they did not interfere with the event, as well as for non-academy characters.

The end of an ending that is not a true ending is cataclysm, destruction, and a loop.

It is a setting that all members lose their memories and go back.

Among them, wheat is the only one that gets her memories back.

‘It’s called a loop water game…… There’s no guarantee that even me, the player, can return.’

You are right to think that this episode is the first and the last.

Let alone returning to the original world, you must see the true ending if you want to sleep with your feet stretched even in this world.

Grabbing a strange concept was also the result of Yoosung’s determination.

Although he has a cheat-like ability called time stop, he is unable to properly attack.

In order to benefit from this somehow, the only way was to grab a concept and extract the rewards from the relationship.

‘I have a lot of work to do.’

Yooseong organized the future in his head.

–

Evaluation room.

As the name suggests, this is a space where instructors gather to view students remotely and give rigorous evaluations.

The video transmission port projects a screen made of a large marble plate.

Inside the screen, there was a video of a fight between a blind swordsman from the East and the 2nd year S class 1st place.

The instructors sitting around the long round table continued their thoughts.

They are authorities in each field.

It was a simple matter to watch the cadets take the exam and determine the class based on their scores.

However, one peculiar cadet was troubling me.

“Hmm, what should I do with this?”

When Kaliak, the fire magic instructor, first made a fortune, they exchanged opinions.

“Even if this is generously given with maximum bonus points, it is still Class D… ….”

“If you look at the details of the Dalian, it seems that even an active general does not fall for it. Acceleration at that moment. Isn’t it comparable to Lieutenant General Ariete, who is said to be the fastest in the Empire?”

“It’s not just the speed. The ability to control behavior is at a level that is not human. At the timing that anyone can see that it is turning to the left, it instantly accelerates forward without any preparation action, so it is impossible to cope with it at the level of a cadet.”

“As a fighting instructor, the part that really makes no sense is psychological warfare. His usual speed isn’t that fast. He’s at the level of a C-class cadet who has to hit really well. And thoroughly recognize it to the other party. And if you hit it like that the next moment and leave it, the reaction will inevitably be delayed.”

Fighting instructor Craig stopped talking once as if he was really dumbfounded, then continued.

“As you all know, once you reach that level, it becomes difficult to make natural loopholes in your movements. Sloppy pretending cannot be done. The opponent that works for that is at least two levels below. If you can, you can notice that it is ‘Chuck’.”

“Yes.”

“Certainly pretending to be weak doesn’t work at all with peers.”

“By the way, look at the movements of that cadet named Yuseong. Isn’t it so full of loopholes that you don’t know where to aim! It forces them to adapt to slow speeds and loophole-filled motions. Then, mixing that level of acceleration at an unpredictable timing makes it even more difficult and troublesome. If it’s like that, it’s hard to deal with it properly, no matter how much you pay attention to it, saying, ‘It’s originally fast’.”

Meteor’s fight was a series of unexpected things for the instructors.

If you look at something like a time stop hack from the side, the more talented you are, the more surprised you are.

“Where did that come from?”

“No matter how you look at it, he is a talented person, but he is so good at letting go of awkwardness. That just never happens. For 20 years on the battlefield, I wonder if I will have to go through the risk of dying while rolling in thousands of units to come up with that kind of sense.”

“Instructor Greta, Meteor Cadet is 20 years old this year.”

“That’s what it says. And age, well, if you really want to cheat, you can cheat.”

“They say they are from Ryo…… Did you learn something amazing from a hidden master there?”

“What do you think, Instructor Tae Jin-yeon?”

Among her instructors, Taejinyeon, the only one from the East, thought for a moment before answering.

“The masters of the East are often not obsessed with worldly wealth and honor. What they aim for is the Fable Light Ship. It is to harmonize with nature and build up that energy in the body to be reborn as a god-like being. As a result, there are many cases where even though they have peak skills and powerful secret arts, they are hardly known to the public due to training. It is possible that someone like that taught me secret arts.”

His words were long, but in short, it was about [Just because he’s from the same east, I don’t know about him better than you guys].

At that time, Kasha, the swordsmanship instructor, also joined the conversation.

“The most important thing is that it was not a serious fight. Dealing with that Ravian is like playing with a child. Even the last cut…… As you can see, there were no injuries. I wonder what he played.”

“That is very curious. I’m sure he’s using a special sword technique…….”

“It is unusual in many ways. It doesn’t seem like Cruella-sama is interested in it for nothing.”

“Well, that person’s eyes are different from ours.”

At some point, the instructors’ conversation moved away from evaluation and deepened into an analysis of the meteor.

“Huh, guys? So which class should a meteor cadet be assigned to?”

Life instructor Timothy, who wanted to sit here all the time at this rate, spoke to her.

Then the subject changed again for the first time.

“As a rule, it is correct that he should be assigned to Class D.”

“But that’s a bit.”

“What is the crime of the cadets of the same D class? Even if you go to the S class, you will be in first place right away.”

“But points are points. If the rules are not treated fairly, cadets cannot fully focus on improving their skills. If that’s the case, the S-class is a seat that can fit only 7 people. Wouldn’t the cadet who was pushed out feel resentment?”

“The cadets must have seen Dalian just now…… Wouldn’t you find it odd that he was assigned to Class D? He won against Labian.”

“Aside from everything, I won against Ravian, the 2nd year S Class 1st place, so I definitely have S Class skills.”

“Still, in the history of Helios, there has never been a time when the cadets’ test scores were not followed according to the rules.”

“Hmm. I’m very concerned that Meteor Cadet deliberately ruined the exam. Isn’t it like asking to be sent to Class D? What are you aiming for?”

“Certainly, that sounds suspicious.”

“So, didn’t you beat the Ravian Cadet again? I really can’t figure out your intentions at all.”

“In addition, the ghost goblins and soldiers were unscathed. I was obviously cut.”

“In my heart, I just want to catch him and tell him what his abilities are and what he thinks. Ha ha ha, just kidding.”

Again, the conversation goes to a strange place.

These people originally didn’t have this many nobles, but it seemed that a cadet named Yuseong was very unusual.

But Life Instructor Timothy just wanted to go in and sleep as usual.

“Then let’s do this! How about a majority vote?”

“Majority?”

“Hmm…… Even in this case, the majority vote.”

“Let’s do that. If we keep talking like this, it won’t end.”

In Timothy’s opinion, Yoosung’s class was decided by a majority vote.

There were often conflicts of opinion among the instructors in deciding between Class B and Class C.

However, it was the first time in the history of Helios Academy that a majority vote was held to determine whether it was class S or class D.

“Now, those of you who think meteor cadets should be assigned to the S class, please raise your right hand, otherwise please stay still.”

According to the progress, some raised their hands and some did not.

What is the fate of Meteor?
