Episode 144.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

“… … ?”

“I’m not going to fight monsters with my mouth, so all I need is to be able to hold a weapon.”

“… … .”

… Although there was some strange misunderstanding, Jia just let it go.

It seemed like the other person didn’t think much of it either… .

More than anything, I found this more comfortable.

Even though I knew the other person wasn’t a real person, the conversation was uncomfortable.

Sarah said.

“The weapons for beginners are over there. Go and choose what you want.”

“… … .”

Zia nodded and headed to the corner of the training ground.

In the corner, as Sarah had said, there were various weapons such as swords, bows, and axes.

Jia looked around for a moment and then picked the sword in the far corner.

[Weapon selection affects subsequent training and job advancement.]

[Do you really want to use the sword?]

“?”

The number of professions currently existing in Avala Online is enormous.

However, the number of occupations that users can directly choose among these was not as high as expected.

If you go through the job advancement process without a hitch, you can obtain a classic job such as a thief, warrior, or wizard, but if something ‘special’ happens during the job advancement process, things change.

Like gaining notoriety like Isin to win over Killer’s favor.

Or like Arthur, using poison during an orc duel.

When something deviates from the standard process like this happens, Avala Online’s AI synthesizes all of this and selects and suggests a job that fits the user among countless jobs.

At this time, of course, the AI ​​also takes into consideration what weapon was used.

If you have a particular job in mind, you need to be very careful when choosing your weapon.

“… … .”

[You have chosen a sword.]

But Jia chose the sword without much thought.

I thought it would be easy to use since it was the most similar in shape to the fencing sword I originally used.

Considering the special skills I already had, I didn’t really mind getting a job in this field.

Sarah asked.

“Did you choose?”

“… … .”

“It’s hard to communicate… I see. From now on, nod your head if you agree.”

Nod nod.

“Okay. Then let’s start training right away.”

Tiring.

[Sarah’s Training – 1]

Sarah hopes that you, a novice adventurer, will grow enough to do your part.

Let’s use the training monsters prepared for beginner adventurers and grow step by step.

If you pass the first training, Sarah will guide you through the next training.

•Training Slime Core: 10/10

•Completion Reward: Experience, Stamina Potion.

“I’ll wait here, so catch the monster and bring me the evidence.”

* * *

[Enter Training Area 1.]

[Slime Hunting Grounds]

The training ground was nearby.

As we entered the room nearby with the large number 1 written on it, a wide space appeared inside.

It was a training ground created for beginners who were just starting out in the game, like Lee Ji-ah.

‘… … .’

Jia looked around.

Fortunately, there was no one inside except me.

That could be the case because it was a kingdom with very little influx of newcomers.

Instead, there were small, squishy things crawling around on the training grounds, which were probably the training monsters Sera had been talking about.

[Training Slime.]

‘…Can I just catch it?’

As I got closer, a status window popped up.

Zia hesitated for a moment and then picked up the sword.

And then he stretched out towards the still slime.

It’s a very slow monster, so it’s annoying, but since it crawls slowly, I think it’ll be easy to catch.

… but it wasn’t.

Swish!

“!?!??!”

The slime disappeared in an instant!

The slime was now on her left.

It was so fast that I thought it had disappeared in an instant.

‘It wasn’t for training!?’

This alone was disconcerting, but the slime even counterattacked.

It jumped up with its body writhing and flew straight into Zia’s face.

Gulp!

“!?”

Lee Ji-ah is flustered.

And that embarrassment soon turned to self-reproach.

It was a feeling of self-reproach for the time I had wasted without any meaning.

Just how weak have I become?

If it was a training monster, it would be one that other people would catch easily even as beginners, but I can’t believe I’m even flustered by this kind of monster.

At this rate, it would be difficult to keep up with even that user, Jeong Yu-ra, let alone Lee Shin.

‘… … .’

Whoosh.

After barely avoiding the slime’s attack.

Zia gripped her sword tightly.

“… … .”

Both eyes had long since sunk into seriousness.

A strong will to fight, saying that he can’t lose to slime!

No matter how weak I was, at this point it was a matter of pride.

… … However, this was her mistake.

Even though she had become weaker than before, she was by no means weak enough to lose to a training slime.

This slime was intentionally weakened to teach users how to hunt it, so it is harder to lose even if you fight it however you want.

The problem is that this is the Kingdom of Eton.

A kingdom overflowing with crime and corruption.

Just as Jeong Yu-ra had no choice but to change her job to a dark priest because she could not find a proper religious order, other public institutions were not in good shape either.

And the Adventurer’s Guild of the Beginner Village was no exception.

Funds that were supposed to be used to support novice adventurers were being blatantly embezzled… .

Pok! Pok! Pok!

[Shock is absorbed.]

[Shock is absorbed.]

“… … !?”

… Originally, the slime that was supposed to be weakened by the drug was not weakened at all.

Thanks to this, attacks from low-level adventurers can be simply bounced off!

And anyone could tell just by looking at this that it wasn’t for training.

It was strange to anyone who saw it.

‘Was my attack wrong…?’

But it wasn’t Gia.

She was new to the game and had very low self-esteem.

Thanks to this, she judged this phenomenon not as ‘Why is the opponent so strong? This is strange?’ but as ‘I’m trash…’

What a ridiculous illusion!

but.

“… … .”

But there was no one here to correct her delusion.

She continued to fight silently.

* * *

The fierce battle with the slime continued for nearly ten minutes.

This was because the slime deflected most of the attacks.

After much trial and error, I realized that I had to attack the slime’s core to deal damage, and the battle was finally over.

Phew!

[I’ve perfectly targeted the slime’s core!]

[Deals fatal damage! The slime’s core is destroyed!]

[Slime defeated!]

[Gain experience points.]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

“Gasp, gasp… … .”

Slime that disappears into dust.

Gia sat down in front of him, gasping for breath.

The problem was that I was using up too much concentration trying to accurately hit the slime’s small core.

Jia thought to herself.

‘I didn’t know it would be this hard…’

To be honest, at first I thought, ‘Isn’t it just a game?’

No matter how difficult it may be, why would you only do outdoor sports that involve moving your body?

But it wasn’t.

It was harder than the youth competitions I participated in when I was young.

Of course, it was difficult to make an exact comparison since the competition experience was already a memory of the past, but at least that’s how it felt now.

[In the first battle, you met an opponent stronger than you and won!]

[A great achievement. You will receive the title, !]

“?”

A new adventurer is naive.

Because they are immature, they make numerous mistakes and face crises.

This is probably one of the growing pains that anyone who wants to become a seasoned adventurer experiences.

But keep in mind:

There are things you can do because you don’t know much.

You have achieved victory against an overwhelming opponent.

Don’t forget your original intention of not being afraid of defeat.

•All abilities increase when facing the first enemy encountered.

•The higher the opponent’s level, the stronger the title effect.

“… … .”

Even seeing this title pop up was certain.

A one-night puppy.

How weak do you have to be to receive such a title just for fighting a slime?

If it were Ishin, he would have already been moving on to the next quest without having to struggle with the slime.

‘…are you okay.’

Still, it worked.

That was enough for now.

Gia reached out towards the floor.

[Slime’s Complete Core: (1/10)]

‘Nine more to go.’

I got the feeling.

After a brief rest, Zia took up her sword again.

* * *

[Slime’s Complete Core (10/10)]

[Complete .]

“Are you late?”

“… … .”

“Hmm, I guess he wasn’t that difficult of an opponent… … .”

[Sarah loves talented adventurers.]

[Sarah is disappointed in your weakness.]

[Sarah’s intimacy decreases.]

“… … Well, anyway, since it was successful, that’s fine. Let’s move on to the second training.”

“… … .”

A voice that has cooled down a little!

Jia felt a little wronged, but she didn’t insist on it.

I had been silent for a while, but I felt a bit awkward opening my mouth because I heard something unpleasant.

More than anything, I was mistaken in thinking that this was because I was weak.

Thanks to you,

“The second training is hunting mini golems for training.”

“… … .”

“I would have told you to hunt only ten, but… tsk. You seem to grow slower than others, so bring me twenty. Then your gait will be right.”

“… … .”

The difficulty level is already high, but it has increased even further!

Due to various misunderstandings, Lee Ji-ah ended up going through a training process that was dozens of times more difficult than others without even realizing it.

And at this time she didn’t know.

I wonder what form this current misunderstanding will take in the future.

[Tax collection completed.]

[Tax collection completed.]

[Today’s collection has been completed.]

[The daily work is finished.]

[Acquire the territory’s public service value.]

[Get Gold.]

[Gain experience points.]

“What, is it over?”

“uh.”

“They said that if you know how to do a beating, you can do it, but it doesn’t seem like it’s really necessary?”

These were the words of Yoo Han-seong, who went around collecting taxes with Lee Shin.

As he said, contrary to his expectations, there was no particular situation where he had to pick up a club.

Because in the first place, there were no residents who refused to collect taxes.

‘hmm.’

The person scratching his cheek.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not really that strange.

To begin with, the tax rates of the Duchy of Martinez were not high enough to burden the residents.

So there was no particular reason to refuse.

‘what?’

So the questions grew even bigger.

Wasn’t he just a villain lord?

If you listen to what Gilaim and Earl Aaron say, he was the worst of the worst who had to be killed… .

Looking at the state of his territory, he was one of the best lords in the Kingdom of Eton.

Looking to the side, I could see that Gilaim was also confused.

“… … Hmm.”

“why.”

“It’s a bit different from what I expected, so I’m confused. I thought that the lord had to be killed for the future of the kingdom… At least, it seems like the people of the territory will be more unhappy if they lose the lord.”

This was also Lee Shin’s thought.

As a permanent resident, it wasn’t really that bad.

Isin suddenly asked.

“Then should I just close it?”

“yes?”

“Are you quitting? If you feel uncomfortable, you can just find someone else.”

“No, that’s not it. There are political issues as well, so this guy will have to be killed in the end.”

“Hmm, really?”

“Yes. But… … .”

However, there is something that catches the eye.

“What is it?”

“It’s so different from what I knew. I think I need to learn more about the peacock.”

“…hmm.”

Lee Shin’s thoughts were the same.

Since work would be over quickly anyway, I could just search through the guild’s document storage room during my free time.

“Let’s go back.”

“yes.”

Isin walked to the guild with Gilaim.

After finishing what had been discussed in advance, Yoohan disappeared immediately, as if he did not want to be with Yishin any longer.

Even though it was obvious that he was being mean, Ishin didn’t say anything because he was more comfortable without him.

but.

“… … .”

“hmm?”

Kang Woo-jin was different.

Unlike Yoo Han-seong, Kang Woo-jin still follows Lee Shin.

It seemed like he had something to say… .

‘… …What are you doing?’

It was difficult to talk to him, so he just looked at him with an expression that said he needed to take a dump.

And then, finding it extremely annoying (he hates being held back), Isin suddenly turned around and asked.

“What is it?”

“yes yes!?”

“… … What are you talking about? Are you following me because you have something to say? Hurry up and go, and don’t be so noisy behind me.”

“Uh uh… … .”

Kang Woo-jin is flustered, perhaps embarrassed by Lee Shin’s harsh words.

But Ishin was annoyed by that stuffy appearance….

‘… Tsk, yeah.’

If you think about it, that’s the kind of person he was originally.

So, didn’t they target this person back then and make him Lee Si-eun’s accomplice?

At that time, Lee Shin, who remembered the memory, waited quietly for Kang Woo Jin.

Kang Woo-jin, who had been hesitating due to that calm wait, soon opened his mouth.

“……that.”

“yes.”

“By any chance, Si-eun and… … .”

As expected, a question related to Lee Si-eun.

It was as expected.

… … However, the question that followed was completely beyond Isin’s expectations.

“yes.”

“… Sa, Sa Sa…”

“…? What the hell?”

“… … Are you, are you dating!??!”

“Phuhu!!?!”

Isin spit out everything that was in his mouth.
