chapter 64
64 – Choices…..? (2)
“Now, think about it! The figure of the Shinto shrine active while passing through the wind, using a much higher speed than the others!”
“………”
“To use your speed. Why don’t you pretend to be fooled and give it a try?”
Bow.
A bow…
Actually, there are many reasons why I am so unreliable with bows.
Let’s pick out a few representative ones.
First of all, there is no kid who is good at using a bow among the main characters.
At most Bell, or someone called Shinto? Compared to the other swindlers who appear in the finale, I honestly feel a little lacking.
First of all, there is a sense of fear because there is no precedent.
Secondly, my aim was really bad.
Since I wasn’t terribly bad at fps games, I always preferred melee weapons, and I always carefully adjusted accuracy when riding magic-related tech trees.
Lastly, the weapon itself is a weapon that has extremely high properties.
Due to the nature of a weapon called a bow, there is bound to be some difference in terms of firepower compared to magic that is directly held in the hand or cast.
Because of such a balance factor, bow-related attributes usually boast considerable power.
Nevertheless, not being used well is a trap, but…
Anyway, because of various factors, the weapon that was underestimated not only by me but also by the community was the weapon called the bow.
This is because unless you are really determined and all-in, it will become a non-trivial weapon that is difficult to exert its full power.
However, it is impossible not to force it this far.
“Okay. But please don’t expect too much. To be honest, I’m not confident.”
“mmm. Just trying it once is enough. That alone is enough for me to figure out.”
Isn’t it true that there is something in this body as well?
With that in mind, I picked up the wooden bow placed in front of me.
Taking a slow breath, I put my arrow on the string and moved my gaze to the targets that were created in front of me before I knew it.
As if possessed by Jumong that existed a long time ago.
For now, you will become an archer who uses the traditional Korean weapon, the ultimate weapon, the bow.
When the breath is evened out, and the aim is precisely aimed at that target… Right now…!
Pulling the string, that studio that left my hand flies infinitely faster toward a distant target…
Took.
……I didn’t lose, and immediately fell to the ground.
“…….”
“…….”
“Keuheum. Anyway, it would be better to teach him how to hold a bow first.”
I couldn’t bear to lift my reddened face with shame.
I know.
I know.
So don’t look at me like that.
————————————————————————- —
Due to the issue of proficiency with my bow, I stopped choosing a weapon for a while and started a special lecture on bows.
Thanks to the explanation that came in like tweezers and repeated training several times, I was able to handle the bow well to some extent.
At first, Aim was shaking like a lost hand, so I couldn’t even properly measure it, but now I can hit even a still target.
And, the long-awaited measurement result that I was finally able to try.
It was as I expected.
“Well, it’s not very powerful.”
“…….”
“As expected, the bow doesn’t seem right for me.”
I can understand the background of why Master recommended me a weapon called a bow.
As one of the weapons that use speed as a factor in this world, it must have been recommended because I am not good at melee combat or handling swords.
However, it’s only when you can’t deal with it that much that the story changes.
It was measured lower than the gauntlet in terms of damage and power.
If you consider the probability of not hitting a moving opponent and the deal loss, it is rather a big loss.
In terms of safety, it seems safer to use [Acceleration] And [Blessing of the Wind Moon] While continuing close combat and concentrating on the opponent in front of you.
In the end, a weapon called a bow is not even a level of romance in my current state.
If Master had done this, he would understand.
When I looked back at Master as I spat out such a resolute refusal.
Even at that time, Master was deeply troubled.
“… It’s quite disastrous, but… After all, maybe it’s time to put that to the test…”
“Me, Master?”
“Wait a minute. I have something to give you.”
Having said that, he suddenly disappeared into the depths of the treasury.
Are you still not giving up? As she waited with the question
, She came back and handed me nothing but a pair of gauntlets.
“This… What the hell is it…? A gauntlet is a gauntlet… But the design is too unique for that.”
“This is a special product among the special products in my report. Personally, I was expecting a lot from the bow, but I thought I couldn’t handle it this much. .”
“………”
Still, the workmanship of people is excellent.
Anyway, the shape of the gauntlet she brought is… How to say it.
It is a gauntlet made of mana stone material and has a very magical feeling.
“Anyway, let me introduce it. It’s the [Arcane Gauntlet].”
“The vision… The gauntlet?”
Vision.
There was definitely something like that.
There have been cases where settings with the concept of misfortune have been found, which were created as game story events, but remained only as dummy data as other alternatives were adopted.
It seems that the gauntlet is also a product of those dummy data.
I never thought these things would be reproduced.
I can’t help but be surprised at the fact that there are still variables that can be created.
“Yes. On the outside, it looks like a special looking gauntlet, but if you make it work like this…”
“…..A bow? No, it’s more like a crossbow than that…”
“Yes. To be precise, it is a crossbow that is manifested from mana stones. It is one of the gauntlet series that a craftsman gave me as a gift in the Age of Vision that existed before. He assured me that it is a weapon that can maximize speed stats. He said. It’s still something that’s too difficult for you to handle with your physical abilities.”
Ohhhhh…..
The unique composition of the gauntlet and crossbow, and the fact that it was a weapon with a mysterious concept that had not been implemented in the game, slowly began to move my heart as a concept lover.
“Hmm. I see. Do you like it? Actually, this would be easier than a bow, and it wouldn’t hurt the combat method I’ve been using so far.”
“Definitely…”
“It will be of great help to you, who lacks extremely long-range attacks. Besides, this weapon’s strength is not the only one.”
After my reaction looked good, Master continued to explain in a slightly excited tone.
Compared to the Gauntlet and Bow, where the coefficient ratio of the highest Speed stat was 5:5 with Strength, this weapon is close to 7:3.
This alone is already a huge boon.
The coefficient alone can reduce the difference in damage caused by insufficient power.
In addition, it is said that using mana, it is possible to freely switch between the power of melee attacks and long-distance attacks that do not require arrow replenishment.
“Hey… But I’ve never used mana before…”
“Umm… That’s right. He’s a really unique kid. This is the first time he’s been this extreme. The only thing he’s going to put forward is speed, but he’s not even able to use that speed properly. I’m watching from my point of view. It’s just absurd even in .”
“…….”
Although the fact that Master has been continuously driving me from a while ago hurts very, very painfully, there is absolutely no place to refute it.
Because I was the one who complacently gave up all of this for the sake of speed 999.
And I couldn’t do anything about the mana issue.
When using attributes such as [Acceleration], Mana is automatically consumed, and [Soonbo] Does not use mana at all, and is a skill that uses only the body and its timing, so it means that I did not have to use mana myself. .
She doesn’t even know how to use mana in the first place.
In a high school course like the Celtic Academy, there is no way you can teach a newborn baby how to use mana.
In a word, until now, I was just pretending to know, and I couldn’t even use mana properly in the fantasy world.
“Don’t worry about that either. First of all, we can add a training course with the goal of increasing your total mana even a little bit.”
“…..Are you saying more here…?”
“That’s right. There is a way to finish it in the shortest possible time with super-high-intensity training, though it’s a bit risky, and a way to complete it slowly but steadily and steadily.”
………..
If the more murderous schedule is increased here, I will not be able to handle it.
My body would never be able to withstand the events I had to perform in the academy life, even the training in the ruins here.
“I’ll do the latter.”
“Hmm, as expected, it would be better to finish it quickly and in a short period of time, right?”
“…… I want to finish slowly and stably?”
“It’s already too late for you, but let’s go ahead and finish it as quickly as possible. Well, use the tenacity you’ve endured so far.”
……. Isn’t this deja vu?
Haa… You damned old man…
“I think I just had an impure thought…”
“It can’t be. It’s just a whim.”
“Okay. If that’s the case, I’ll understand that, and from next time on, I’ll include mana-related training items.”
“…Yes.”
[Member! That’s an extra 30 minutes! Can we exercise more?”]
[Now you know how much you will follow. Shall we increase the number of cycles in the future?]
Ah.
I thought it was a little more comfortable.
Somehow, I feel like I miss the me of yesterday.
Will I be able to get out of here alive…?
