Chapter 5 - Tutorial of unnamed supporting character (4)

"Do-Don't come… Don't come!" Son Mingi stammered with his words again and turned back to flee.As if he was still capable of rational judgment, he immediately threw the spider string web traps.The Oat flower extract medicine last in the air for over a minute.He used only one out of the three items on Yu Sang-hun, so he had two items remaining.As the spider string net trap's tie-up effect lasted for 5 seconds, after 10 seconds Son Mingi would play hide-and-seek with a Demonic Beast for his life. 'There are 4 minutes left until the barrier is released, there is no way Son Mingi will last this long.' It was time to use my last trick.What was Rinoseron's status right now? ⟨Reading the Enemy's status window.⟩ [Enemy name] Rinoseron no. 13[Rarity] R+[Titles] Pet category Demonic Beast species, Ung tribe's familiar[Blessing] Your master commands you this 'Destroy everything'[Status] Complete obedience (impossible to release), cognitive abilities lowered, sensory abilities lowered, instincts strengthened, strength lowered by 12, power lowered by 15, defense lowered by 8, mana lowered by 6, will power lowered by 9, agility lowered by 6, special attacks resistance lowered by 13.[Overall stats] Lv. 19[Skill]Heavy Rush Lv. 3……… It was a barrier made by the prestigious Eungwang School's staff and strengthened by an Ung[1].As expected, around 70 status effects of the barrier were duplicated and applied.Even after touching 'Off exam ground barrier[2]' there would be no damage, but status effects duplication would occur. 'Even so, it's still powerful enough to annihilate the middle school students here.' It was cut in half, but Rinoseron's overall stats were Lv. 19.My overall stats were Lv. 10.Based on the tactics and skills categories, the overall stats level had no big meaning for actual battle's result, no matter how different they were, but.The opponent was not a human, but a Demonic Beast possessing high level of combat skill. 'I can do it, I can do it…' I took out 'Assassin's apprentice's folding knife' materialized from the card.Looking at the unfolded knife blade, it was no longer than 6 cm.The opponent was a Demonic Beast with 2m in shoulder height when walking on four limbs.There was no way it wasn't scary.I, who was only staring at the smartphone screen, while just waiting the day when I would die, running at a Demonic Beast?It felt as if my heart was about to jump out of my throat.I took out and held the knife, but my feet didn't move.The hand holding the knife was trembling.It was on a different level from the fighting moves unfolding in my head, or the game unfolding on the other side of the screen. "Ah… Aaah… sa-save me, I hate!" While I couldn't move.The 10 seconds given to Son Mingi ended.While I was standing, the treasure-like 10 seconds passed.Rinoseron broke free from the trap and rushed at Son Mingi.Son Mingi started to flee, but the Demonic Beast caught up to him immediately. Bang! Crunch, crunch… "Aaaaaack, keuuuuk!" I heard the sound of something breaking and exploding.Rinoseron didn't stop and kept ramming its enormous horn against Son Mingi. Clang, clang, claaaang! At some point, Son Mingi didn't even scream.Because of that, the feeling of fear only grew. 'If it doesn't go as I think, I'll be the next to look like this.' I repeatedly took deep breaths, but my feet didn't move.Rinoseron's feet weren't tied.If it perceives my attacks as a threat, it may attack me rather than Son Mingi. 'Move, you have to go…!' I saw Yu Sang-hun, who froze, start to flee after hearing the screams and Jang Namuk supporting him from the side.Jang Namuk, who still had strength left, may be able to survive in critical condition if he is lucky.But most of his body would be gone. 'Yu Sang-hun will certainly die.' The polygon chunks broken into pieces, seen on the screen after the end of tutorial, the NPCs, who died, would be those two.When my thoughts got this far, I was already running towards the Demonic Beast. ⟨Skill 'Use of Everything' activated.⟩ My hand moved elegantly.I naturally corrected my grip on the knife, which I held like a hammer, to hold it askew and stabbed the Demonic Beast, which was attacking Son Mingi.After my attack attempt at the Demonic Beast, I saw a red health bar above its body.It didn't decrease even a little.Once, twice, thrice…I stabbed a few times and attacked the Demonic Beast skillfully, without burdening my hand, but it felt as if I was cutting stone with a glass knife.I couldn't leave even a hair berth of injury on the Demonic Beast that seemed to be wearing a steel cloak.Even after I repeated it dozens of times, Rinoseron's health bar didn't decrease even 1%. "Jo Uisin…!" The face of Jang Namuk, who observed that scene from a distance, was anxious.If it was Jang Namuk, who possessed an Insight category skill, he would notice that the damage dealt to the Enemy right now was close to 0.Even so, if I stopped here, it was the end.I had to end it while the Demonic Beast was attacking Son Mingi.However…The scent of oat flowers completely dissipated and the smell of rotting meat started to fill my nostrils.The bloodied Demonic Beast abandoned Son Mingi, who no longer even twitched and looked down at me. 'I want to run…!' The pressure was incomparable to what I saw on the other side of the smartphone screen.I might soon end up looking like Son Mingi. Wooeeeeeee….! But after the Demonic Beast cried out once, it completely ignored me.Perhaps it was because the accumulated damage was almost close to 0.As if the Jin's familiar decided I was not dangerous, instead of attacking me directly it seemed to put its mind to carry out the order currently given through a blessing, 'Destroy everything'. ⟨Warning, the Enemy 'Rinoseron' is about to use 'Heavy Rush' skill.⟩ One of the effects occurring when an Enemy was about to use a skill, red vapor gushed out of Rinoseron's body.A few seconds later my body would be turned into powder in the shock wave of the skill used by Rinoseron.Faster.A bit faster!I devoted myself completely to moving the knife. "Don't…! Stop it and run, Jo Uisin!" In the distance, Jang Namuk yelled.Even so, I didn't stop and swung my arm towards the body visible through the red vapor. Ping. ⟨The weapon's proficiency reached 100%.⟩ I heard a system notification.Done!I raised the knife, that started to shine, high and plunged it into the Rinoseron. ⟨The weapon's rarity raised from N- to N.⟩ The knife wrapped in the effect of rarity change.The knife held in my hand cut through the vapor gushing from Rinoseron and cut deep into the Demonic Beast's body.A while ago when it didn't leave a single scratch was like a lie and the knife's blade burrowed into the Demonic Beast's vital point. Paaat! ⟨Special attack 'Instant Death' activated.⟩ Wuuuaaa…. Rinoseron wasn't able to resist even a bit and with the last death scream, it collapsed with a thud.I pointed the knife at it for a while even after it collapsed, but the Demonic Beast didn't move any longer. 'I brought it down…!' I looked down at the unmoving Demonic Beast, as I gasped and panted for breath.If I was even a little bit late, I would end up like Son Mingi.The hand holding the knife no longer trembled, but the feeling of dizziness in my head remained. "Jo Uisin!" Jang Namuk and Yu Sang-hun shouted my name and ran as if rolling.Their speed was much faster than when they fled.At that scene, the nervousness was relieved, and a laughter came out. "You took it down… Well done, Jo Uisin!""That was close, were you aiming for it?" Jang Namuk had an expression as if he was on the brink of crying and his face contorted, and Yu Sang-hun smiled brightly.As if he forgot the pain because of adrenaline secretion, it seemed that enough energy returned to the pale-faced Yu Sang-hun for him to joke. "What aiming? You worked hard, guys-ah[3]." I tapped the sobbing Jang Namuk on the shoulder to make the tears go back in.Even if it's a middle school brat, if they cry in front of people, it would become a shameful dark history for them later.Even though it hurt, as I put a bit of strength into it, he smiled brightly. "Yu Sang-hun, did the bleeding stopped?""Thanks to the recovery medicine that fucker Son Mingi sprinkled, it got a bit better." Even though the bleeding stopped right now, if he moves the wound might open again.Yu Sang-hun was a bastard, who didn't make a weak sound even when he was on the brink of death. 'It seems that he would keep his mouth shut even if the wound worsens.' To prepare for such a case, I took Yu Sang-hun's school uniform jacket, which turned into a rag, and cut it with the folding knife to make temporary bandages.Before wrapping Yu Sang-hun's chest in temporary bandages, I cardified the folding knife.Just as I cardified it, I saw an updated item data. ⟨Reading updated item data.⟩ [Item name] Assassin's apprentice's folding knife[Type] Weapon[Rarirty] N[Proficiency] 102%[Effect] Proficiency experience acquisition rate bonus 10%, Agility +2,5, Power +0.5[Additional effect] Extremely low chance of opponent's instant death[Description]A crude weapon one can buy even in a common market.Contains grudges of a revenger, who was its previous user.The revenger honed his skills without rest to pierce the archenemy[4]'s neck.If he didn't give up at the last moment, his one blow would surely… There are big risks when facing an Enemy with a big level gap, but there were many things to obtain. 'One of the things to obtain is weapon proficiency experience.' This knife had a proficiency bonus acquisition because of its lowest rarity.As the proficiency needed to raise rarity wasn't that big, if one attacked a high-level Enemy with this knife, one could level it up extremely quickly.And this weapon had a special effect added upon a level-up.One of those special attacks was an Instant Death. 'But because the chance of Instant Death is low and the weapon's stats and rarity rank is too low, it was a junk I would never use in the final game.' If there was a barrier, which solidity was strengthened by that freaking Jin and which granted status effects, in front of my eyes, the story was different.Because I confirmed with Rinoseron's status window that among the status effects caused by the barrier was a Special Attack Resistance debuff. 'I was lucky.' Though the luck when pulling out items was the worst.Because if I pulled out an item of a bit higher rarity or a bit more usable, enduring 15 minutes would be easy.Even so, if the Power of Fate's skill didn't activate, at least one person would die to Son Mingi's scheme. "Jo Uisin, aren't you wrapping it too tightly?""Endure. In the first place, the wound has to be pressed enough for the homeostasis." Even while Yu Sang-hun frowned, he didn't make a weak sound.At the side of Yu Sang-hun, who was bluffing, Jang Namuk was nagging about everything.I had a feeling I was seeing a glimpse of a happy ending of this game, which I wanted even in the moment of death.In any case, it was a time-limited life, which didn't have any future[5].It wouldn't be bad if I could use it to see this world's happy ending.The doubts about the situation I encountered still remained. 'However, right now…' Right now was a time to share the joy of survival and clear of the tutorial quest with colleagues.Because we would be the first and the last to clear this game's 'Tutorial of unnamed supporting character'. * * * "Why did you give it to that fucker?" Yu Sang-hun gaze was directed at the lying Son Mingi, who became a blood clot.He kept his form somewhat, but parts of his body were completely destroyed.It was difficult to know if he was dead or just fainted. 'There is a high chance of survival.' Because around Son Mingi were four remains of 'Cotton scarecrow's devotion', which ownership Yu Sang-hun had passed to me. "It's the item to reduce damage." It seemed that Jang Namuk figured it out with an Insight category skill.The instant 'Spider string net trap' was released, I used 'Cotton scarecrow's devotion' on Son Mingi. "To help him survive. Because the Rinoseron's stats were lowered, it seemed he would survive if the damage was reduced, even if he ends up misshapen." As the Players possessing superpowers were much more sturdy than ordinary people, they didn't die easily.Thinking about the Players and ordinary people in terms of levels, the 3rd year middle school Pre-Player would have my overall stats level, 10.It depended on the individual, but the level of ordinary people was known to be between 1 and 5.An ordinary person would immediately suffer from shock if arms and legs were crushed at the same time, but Son Mingi was a Pre-Player who applied to the nation's most prestigious school.There is no way he would die easily. "I gave it to you, who took a dangerous role. I didn't give it to be used on a fucker, who sells and eats people.""I know.""You mean you will turn a blind eye to the fucker, who tried to kill you too?""No." Yu Sang-hun made a face as if he chewed on a spoiled tangerine. "It wouldn't matter if he reflected, but that bastard won't do that. So it's fine." I also didn't think of turning a blind eye to that trash. 'Even so, I can't let Son Mingi die here.' Let's consider the case where one of the examinees died because of the Jin's familiar in the Korean Republic's most prestigious school, Eungwang Player Maister Highschool, and three survived.There was a high chance that everyone would turn their arrows at the school and the three survivors.I personally would live through it, but those two also be involved.I would be fine, but I doubted those middle school brats could endure their daily life crumbling. 'If it goes as I think, even if Son Mingi survives he won't docilely reflect.' The nature of the person in a death crisis can't be changed.That was the nature of Son Mingi I saw in that disastrous situation. "Got it." The one to finally wield first was Yu Sang-hun's side.The atmosphere was awkward.Jang Namuk looked at the expressions of me and Yu Sang-hun, and then barely spit out a word. "Uh… Hey, then did I give you two item cards? It seems I thought there were four in total and made a mistake, but luckily as a result…" Kwa-clang! The efforts of Jang Namuk to change the atmosphere were in vain.Before Jang Namuk even finished speaking, the gym's door split with a 'creak'. 'There is still about a minute left until the barrier is lifted.' The only one who could break the Jin's barrier would have to possess abilities on par with Jin people.I, Jang Namuk and Yu Sang-hun looked in the direction the noise came from with anxious eyes. 'What…?!' I felt my mind turn hazy for a moment when it entered my vision.In front of the split gym door stood a person holding a greatsword so pure white that my eyes tingled.I knew the identity of that greatsword well.White Fang of Thunder Clouds Breaker[6].Baek-ho's fang, which was said that if it was swung towards the sky, it would break clouds and cut lightning. 'It's Baek Ho-gun…!' Even without seeing his favorite sword White Fang, I could recognize him by just seeing his silhouette.Baek Ho-gun was the Playable Character, who remained alone in the last battle during the final chapter.He was my main Playable Character I raised most diligently and used for the longest time.However… 'Baek Ho-gun didn't appear in this event.' Something in this world ran counter to the game I knew. *~*~* [1] Ung — bear.[2] Off exam ground barrier — to be precise it's 'off exam judgment ground barrier'.[3] guys-ah — to be precise, he says 'kids-ah'. It's quite natural to say even for a young person when addressing someone underage, you will see me use it as it is, but I felt it may destroy the moment here, hahaa…[4] archenemy — 원수 (wonsu) homonyms are 'general/highest commander of the army' and 'head of state'. And yes, the description changed to past tense, the previous sentence also changed a bit.[5] In any case, it was a time-limited life, which didn't have any future — Which didn't have any future is in the past tense, implying it might no longer be the case. Rejoice.[6] Thunder Clouds Breaker — 'Clouds breaking thunder cutting' to be precise. Translator's note: Advice for new readers, remember this glorious moment, remember this victory, because this damn tutorial will haunt you later.
