Chapter 47: I’ll Let You Know Failure (2) (2)
Human? I already answered that. Of course! If youre not a human from Earth, you cant beco a Master.
Thats not what I ant. Im asking if that woman, Tel, manipulated Anytng or not.
Manipulated? Manipulate the Master?
Iselles eyes widened.
Just wait a mont. Ill find out and co back!
Iselle scattered stardust and disappeared.
A little later, Iselle returned.
Dont worry. Anytng is a completely normal user with 100% purity.
Can I trust that?
You can trust it. I ca back with confirmation from another director! If such a thing were to happen, it would require outrageous conditions and risks.
Co to think of it, the business card stated she was a co-representative director.
I couldnt fully trust Iselles words, but not trusting anything would be equally absurd.
At least, Iselle drew a line that she couldnt answer certain questions.
Though she might have been inexact at tis, she had never lied.
Okay.
Is there anything else youre curious about?
If sothing cos up, Ill ask.
Alright then, Im going to sleep. Shoo!
The room went dark.
I sat on the bed and pondered slowly.
Ill set aside the complex issues about Mobius for now.
Its not ti to think about them yet.
My concern was about the Master who manages this waiting room.
I learned that Anytng is not being manipulated Tel.
So, the current situation can be attributed to Anytngs pure gaplay.
Thats confird.
There can be no wrong judgnt.
Anytng has the Overachiever Syndro.
If the symptoms worsen, sothing bad will happen sooner or later.
Its still in the early stages.
With appropriate asures, theres a chance to reverse it.
The most effective treatnt for the Overachiever Syndro, as claid by the users of Pick
Up, is to eliminate the hero that the Master relies on entirely.
That hero would be .
.
This thod is rejected.
ans and ends cannot be reversed.
I pondered for a long ti, but whichever choice I made, there were significant risks.
Of course, the result of the risk would be my death.
Even so, there was a solution.
I wont just stand by and do nothing.
The conclusion was reached.
Now, all thats left is to put it into action.
The next morning, after a simple al, I joined the mbers at the training ground.
From then on, the training continued as usual. Basic physical training in the morning, followed by lunch. Afterward, we started weapon training. As evening approached, it was ti for sparring. However, there we a few changes.
Here I co!
Asher, shielding his left side with a shield, thrust his sword forward.
His stance was exemplary, but his speed was slow. I lightly evaded and struck taking advantage of the opening. At that mont, Roderick suddenly appeared. He was wielding a spear with perfect form and struck my shield with force.
A solid impact. He then swiftly switched to thrusts, attacking all over my body.
Fast and precise. Rodericks level might be lower than Aarons, but in terms of physique and skill, he had long surpassed Aaron. His spear strikes, which seed to divide into several attacks, were fired like a barrage.
I blocked with my shield, deflect with the sword, and avoided what could be avoided.
Roderick himself was a formidable opponent.
In that situation, Asher, who regained his stance, struck my left side. Edis, who had been hiding her presence on the right, appeared and aid for a vital spot. The timing was perfect and it couldnt be avoided or blocked.
3 against 1 is tough.
I tapped the floor three tis with my left foot, giving the signal.
In the mont when the short sword was about to slash my right arm, Aaron and Jenna, who had been observing from a distance, joined in.
The sparring changed from one-on-many to a many-on-many battle.
In other words, it beca a team training exercise.
Furthermore, it was also a training for adapting to chaotic battles. Distinguishing between allies and enemies in constant combat and maintaining teamwork. With the increased number of combat-ready heroes, this kind of training was possible.
Eolka abstained from using magic due to the risk involved.
After the training was concluded, Anytng logged in.
We already knew the ti when Anytng logged in. It was as I had expected.
Han, Jenna, Aaron, Eolka!
As soon as he logged in, Anytng called for our main party.
The four of us gathered in the square.
Floor 12, right? This is complete madness.
Jenna said with a wide grin.
On the other hand, Aaron seed a bit gloomy.
If its Floor 12, isnt the speed a bit worrying? Its too fast.
Floor 11 clearance was just yesterday.
In the waiting room ti, it was yesterday. In Earth ti, not even a day had passed.
In other words, if Anytng sends us to Floor 12 this ti, it ans he was attempting a super-fast climb of more than 2 floors in a day. It was a foolish act.
Open, The Rift of Ti and Space!
Clunk.
As Iselle reached out her hand, the front gate of the square opened.
The three of them cautiously stepped inside.
I stood outside the square with my arms crossed.
Arent you coming in, Oppa?
Jenna gestured to .
Aaron and Eolka were waiting for
too.
Although it was an order that was hard to accept, the realization that I couldnt refuse was deeply ingrained in .
But I had to.
I closed my eyes.
And I rembered.
Back when I wasnt a ranker in Pick
Up, the hero who always stood before
whenever I made a wrong choice.
That very hero staked his life for .
I opened my eyes.
Iselle, what floor did Anytng designate?
[Floor 12.]
Iselle reluctantly replied.
As I expected.
I recalled an instruction that appears from ti to ti on the loading screen.
Heroes sotis make demands or claims to their Masters, and sotis refuse orders.
And I said,
I refuse to participate.
[Han () has refused to participate!]
