ALL NOVEL The Strongest Solo Gamer with Terrible Social Skills Reincarnates as a Hated NPC in a VRMMO Chapter 111
111 As an Adult――
――Has the enemy’s attack slowed down?
Unlike before, when they were constantly ambushing me, I now have some leeway. It seems they only attack me when I make a mistake in my “path.” They’re obvious about their intentions. I wish they could hide their intentions a bit better.
Oh well, complaining won’t do anything.
I’m also to blame for not finding a way to break the current situation and just standing still. Should I try to force my way through the encirclement? No, if I get caught, it’s all over. A-Group to C-Group will gang up on me. It’s suicidal to jump into the fray myself.
One hour and twenty minutes have passed since the competition started.
There are only forty minutes left until time runs out.
I won’t be able to escape――
“!”
The moment I entered the small room at the end of the corridor. I sensed that the atmosphere in the room had changed. When I realized it, it was already too late. I couldn’t retreat or advance, and I was stuck standing in the middle of the room.
My years of gaming experience told me so.
I’m scared, but――I’m prepared.
The small room was a dead end.
The entrances and exits were the corridor behind me and three paths to the left and right. If they were going to ambush me, this was the perfect location. I could feel a bad aura coming from each of the corridors, and I was definitely surrounded.
Will they attack the moment they see me?
Is this the only way out?
“Are you a summer insect that flies into the fire, huh――Shiuru Shōma?”
“……General Secretary Nakaichi……!!”
“It’s time to pay your taxes, isn’t it, Chin Kasu-kun?”
“Y, Yūranting……!!”
“I won’t say much……Goodbye, Shiuru――”
“Tōtenkyūuu!!?”
“Can’t see a thing, and the voice is…!?”
“What’s with this performance!?”
“I-I’m scared…!!”
The moment I covered my head, three shadows jumped out from the three passageways in different directions!?
“Ahhh!?! Quick attack!?”
“No time to talk about it…!!”
“I don’t have time to hesitate!!”
“I have to believe in myself now!!”
“As a Legacy Sense player… as an ABYSS explorer…”
“This should definitely work!!”
“――Let’s do this! Nnever Ending Story!! Thunderous roar! Make me shine even brighter!! This is the end!! Extreme light!! Voltekkka!!”
“Emergency order! Yin-Yang Pavilion’s Yu Lan Ting Di orders! Release all magical bullets!! Full power, full throttle, go all out!! You’ll all take down the enemy!!”
“Hahahahaha! You’ll definitely lose! This is the mighty sword, Solar Wheel’s martial power! Take to the skies and slash!! Conqueror’s hundred styles!! Unmoving Bright King――!!”
“Uggghhh…!!”
“It’s like a department store of fatal techniques!”
“I don’t want to die!!”
“Please forgive me…!!”
I knelt down on the spot, holding up the item I took from the dimensional storage above my head.
It’s my apology gift…
Also known as the “Tsumaranaide Suiga” strategy.
I’ve thought about it in various ways!!
The result of my thoughts――I was also in the wrong!!
Even though I was attacked by my own path, I’m the one who provoked him with my words!!
I’ve been thinking about it during the holidays!!
If I just let it slide, I’d leave a huge grudge against A-C classes. That’s unacceptable! It’s bad for my mental health!!
I wanted to make amends!!
The reason I didn’t give up in the hopeless battle was because of that! I might have reflexively provoked them in the middle, but――this moment when the top students from each class gathered is the perfect opportunity!!
Even though I was hiding――I’m a 27-year-old adult. I want to show my sincerity to those younger than me!! That’s why I’m doing this!!
That’s why I’m offering this gift!!
“Floor Master!! This is the special material, True Red Alloy, which I synthesized using the magic research lab and the twin horns of the Ifrit!! You must be dying to get your hands on it!! I’ll give it to you, so please forgive me――!!”
“――――――!!”
――No good. It’s too late.
――They’re not listening to me.
I mean… everything is being overwhelmed by the noise of the fatal techniques. Even my words――even my vision――
“――Ugh, it’s so dazzling…!!”
Is this the last thing I’ll say?!
The massive energy from three directions clashed in the center, swirling and filling the small room. The destructive white light pouring down left me, a mere human, helpless and curled up, covering my ears and screaming.
――And so, the outcome was decided.
But it was in a direction I didn’t want…
