11. If you want to live, ride the rope well (3)

The training continued the next day.

With the training of the past three days, the schedule was somewhat set.

In the morning, do basic exercises such as canter, push-ups, and sit-ups. Jenna copied my workouts exactly. I didn’t even dry it.

After the basic exercise, weapon skill training begins.

Speaking of weapons training, I wielded a wooden sword and Jenna shot an arrow at a scarecrow. But I didn’t neglect it.

It was because it felt like I was gradually grasping basic techniques such as power distribution and proper posture while swinging. This could be seen by looking at the low-level swordsmanship or shield skill that appeared on the status window.

Even so, it would be far short of a knight who had learned formal swordsmanship.

You don’t know if there is an expert who can guide you by your side. At least, I think I can get a sense of something if I do sparring. But I was alone. Since Xena’s main equipment was hardened with a bow, she can’t request sparring.

The other three did not come to the training center.

Occasionally, I could see him talking to himself in the corner of the square about escaping rather than looking for an exit.

Of course, there was no exit.

Two more days passed like that.

Jenna and I were facing each other on both sides of the training camp.

“Are you really okay?”

“are you okay.”

I hit the shield with a wooden sword.

Jenna was holding a bow.

I recognized that both Jenna and I needed more hands-on training.

Fighting with sword and sword was tough, but there were other ways.

“Could it hurt?”

“You don’t have to die.”

There were a few times when my wrists broke due to over-swinging the sword.

The injured wrist was soon restored to its original state. The waiting room itself seemed to have a healing effect. If you don’t die with a single knife like Mormont, you will be healed naturally.

One of the training methods I organized last night.

“Shoot!”

“Don’t be resentful!”

Jenna fired an arrow.

right shoulder. I moved my left arm.

puck!

The arrow pierced the shield with a dull sound. I drew an arrow and threw it at Jenna. Perhaps it was an arrow for practice, so it was easily pulled out.

“again.”

The shooting continued.

For Xena, shooting training against a living opponent.

I trained in shield techniques to block flying arrows.

One more condition has been added here. Block arrows with your shield while attacking the scarecrow next to you. It is an exercise in attack and defense at the same time.

I changed the attack position while being conscious of it.

head first. Next chest. Then the legs.

What I do now is similar to drawing a square with my left hand while drawing a circle with my right hand. You have to split your focus in two.

“...!”

I sat down at the sharp pain that pierced my calf.

It wasn’t an arrow, but it stole a chunk of flesh as it passed.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

“Don’t mind me.”

After kneeling down for a while, new skin sprouted from the wound. I stood up and brushed my right foot. It’s okay. could move

“You think of another way. The enemies won’t stop like me and will attack you. Do you want to just stand still and shoot?”

To my words, Jenna added a training method.

shoot while walking.

It was a moving shot.

As his concentration dropped, the frequency of getting hit by arrows increased. There were times when I died and came back to life. The wound heals, but the pain remains.

‘Do I have to do something crazy like this?’

Negative thoughts crept up.

I didn’t stop It’s good if it hurts. Because it’s proof that I’m alive.

Still not enough. I climb the tower Survive.

And...

[‘Han( )”s ‘Lesser Swordsmanship’ has risen to Lv.2!]

[‘Han( )’s ‘Lesser Shield Art’ has risen to Lv.2!] [

‘Han( )’ has acquired the ‘Pain Resistance’ skill!]

‘As expected.’

Acquired Pain Resistance, which is said to be an essential passive skill for warriors.

If you raise your pain resistance to level 10, you can evolve it into battle continuation. It is an A-class skill that maintains the hero’s fighting power until the moment he dies.

What remains is

‘calm.’

It is a sub-skill of Combat Logic.

If you raise your composure to level 10, battle logic, if you raise your battle logic to level 10, you get the ultimate skill, Myung-Kyeong Index. If it rises to the level of light, it can prevent any mental state abnormality.

It would be nice to go to the opposite skill, Berserk Combat Madness Berserk, but my strength lies in my wide range of information about Pick Me Up. Berserk, which lost reason instead of increasing combat power, was poison to me.

Not to get excited about any situation.

Observing the situation calmly.

In the tutorial and the first battle I couldn’t. If this state continues, you will have to ride the berserk tech tree without getting stuck. Calmness and madness were skills that could not coexist.

‘Let’s keep this in mind.’

Among the thousands of skills in Pick Me Up, synergy certainly exists.

I know what skills need to be combined to create synergy.

A few more days passed like that.

“I told you. I’m useful too.”

I just ran away.

Before receiving the joint attack, hit and enter from this side. one first. The goblin crouched down and raised the shield. But there is a gap. I twisted my shoulder and inserted the sword.

two. He rushed forward with his shield in front. I ran into it and blew it away with a shield. I have the upper hand in height, weight, and strength. I took the gap and cut off the neck.

one last one.

Perhaps he was frightened, he backed away. I approached slowly

An arrow pierced the goblin’s shin. It is the part of the lower body that is difficult to block with a shield. stabbed a sword in the heart

[Clear the stage!]

[‘Jenna( )’ level up!]

[Reward – 7000G Leather (C) X 1 Iron Ore (C) X 1]

[MVP – ‘Jenna ( )’]

Bonus experience points when selected as the MVP of the battle receive

This time Jenna was the MVP. It seems that the crossbow goblin I killed first had high points.

‘Do they still have no intention of fighting?’

The three of them just looked at us with anxious eyes.

It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to share my experience with those guys either. If you don’t contribute to battle, you don’t get experience points.

I returned to the space-time gap.

“Huh, already?”

“It was a bit boring this time.”

Rather than our enemies being insignificant, we became stronger.

You can feel it. Training was not in vain. The sword and shield moved more smoothly and there was no gap in the action.

“Is it over? Then we...”

Toby hardened as he was about to leave.

The door leading to the plaza was still closed.

The mirror on the left shone.

[Selected floor number 1. Do you want to try again?]

[Yes / No]

It’s not over.”

Jenna tightened her bow with a firm expression.

“Looks like you’re going to turn the wheel.”

It looks like Isel’s tip was influenced.

If you retry a floor you’ve already cleared, the experience or rewards you can receive will decrease, but cancer Kena seems to have decided that safety is more important than going up one floor.

[ Floor 1.]

[Mission Type – Subjugation]

[Goal – Annihilate the enemy!]

[Goblin Lv.2 X 3]

“Kerruk!” ”

Kak

!”

One went straight through the head and died.

Zena immediately fired a second arrow and pulled the string. The arrow lodged in the chest of the goblin, who was staring blankly at the corpse of his comrade.

Then, Jenna fired the third string . [Stage cleared!]

[

Reward – 1000G]

[MVP – ‘Jenna( )’]

“....”

“Heh heh.”

The mirror shone again

[Floor 1.]

[Mission Type – Subjugation]

[Goal – Annihilate the enemy!]

[Goblin Lv.4 X 2]

As soon as the location changed, I ran right away.

I heard the sound of an arrow cutting through the wind from behind. I hit the arrow with my shield.

“What are you doing!”

” Noisy, dude!” Do you

dare to eat all the EXP by yourself?

I slaughtered two goblins without mercy.

[Stage cleared!]

[Reward – 1000G]

[MVP – ‘One ( )’]

Two more battles like that “Is it over?”

”

I don’t know,”

the other party member asked, and Jenna turned her head away.

They didn’t do anything for a total of five battles. We overpowered the monsters. When he showed that he was doing it, he

even seemed to have the leisure to chat behind him

. How long do I have to go after them?”

“Today is the end.”

“It’s over. I don’t think there’s any intention to change.”

“I don’t think the master has enough room to feed the locusts.”

[Start synthesizing the master.]

[Drag and drop the hero to be sacrificed to the hero you want to synthesize! The hero perishes.]

The door to the synthetic lab opened.
