Chapter 221 – The Tournament (21) (Part 2)
Proofreader: GodlyCash
I don’t know if it’s because he’s done so many times. His body is already familiar with this movement, fast as lightning.
The dust is blown away by his violent movement.
Holy sword, who had been silent, speaks.
[You can torture more than I think. ]
[Yes?]
[Yes. According to the your character, the people who make you unhappy are all killed directly. I didn’t expect that you would torture a person like this. Just now, I thought that you had just knocked him down to the ground in order to behead him. ]
Ok, all right.
I know what you usually think of me.
[It’s a pity that I can’t torture you like this. If only you could be human.]
[Ah, what do you say? Why? Is it because I don’t play the coquetry enough? ]
There is a rush of tumbling in my stomach. I fell that something is coming out, and I manage to resist the urge of vomiting.
Although I can’t torture this crazy sword, there is still a way to punish it.
Since the noise from Ahbooboo has damaged my hearing, I will throw it back to inventory in exchange.
About 10 minutes later, I pull up the man who is struggling to roll around.
And ask again.
“Have you finished your reflection?”
The man gasps and answers yes.
“Hey, when other people are talking, your laugh will make them unhappy. Is that right?
“No!”
“Why would you do that?”
“Because…”
“Down again.”
The man rolls over and finally faints.
It’s not good to wake him up and continue to torture him. My anger has basically gone away, so I decide to let him go.
After pouring a potion into the man with rolled eyes, I put him on the back of the frog monster.
“Can you carry him?”
[keeekkeeek!]
Yes, I know it.
Unintentionally I get a obedient carrier.
We continue to walk along the forest path, listening to Lee Jin’s explanation of tournament.
She explains more enthusiastically than before.
“With Japan and Australia?”
“Yes. It’s probably because there are too many participants, so the residential area is divided.”
We will share a residential area with Japan and Australia who have participated in the second tournament with us together.
I don’t know much about Japan, but among the challengers in Australia, there should be some people who have had a bad time with us.
Maybe another conflict will happen.
There are many participants in the tournament this time, and there are many kinds of projects. Probably because of this, we can take the residential area where the dormitory is located as the center.
Lee Jin says that if you want to participate in tournament, you need to form a team in the residential area and then sign up for the competition.
Then move to the destination through portal, which is regarded as official participation.
It sounds complex.
We listen as walking in the woods.
Several hidden traps and magic circles are found along the way, and other frogs appear.
These monsters talk to the frog monster walking by my side for a while and then run away.
“Can you understand what the monsters are saying?”
“Just a little bit.”
Lee Jin asks me.
After walking together for several hours, our relationship has become a little closer and we can ask each other questions.
“I can’t understand them completely. What they say is very vague.”
“Why?”
“Because they know I can understand them.”
The knowledge of the time before Babe is bidirectionally compatible.
Although the frog monster can’t understand what Lee Jin says, he can fully understand what I say.
So they speculate that I could understand their language accurately.
I don’t know if it is, I think so.
While explaining to Lee Jin, I also affirm my own idea.
Because the frog monster freaks after listening to my explanation.
“But do you really not participate in any project? I hear that there are prizes in tournament.”
I reply that I would not participate.
I can probably guess what kind of award will be given.
Maybe give an item box with good weapons or some statistics.
They are useless to me.
Especially things like elixir, even if you take it, you will not feel any change at all.
It’s similar to eating vitamin C candy that can do a little bit of good to the body.
There’s no need to beat other people for the prize.
I don’t expect to compete with other challengers.
Although I had expected it before, now I have completely lost expectations.
I don’t know the level of other challengers, but certainly, they are not as good as me.
If you fight other challengers just to experience the sense of urgency, and you accidentally kill them, you would be in trouble.
“What a pity. If we can participate together, the prize will be ours.”
Even if I want to participate in the tournament, I will not form a team with Lee Jin.
If I have to, I could consider joining Park Jong-Sik.
Because even without me, that team is most likely to win the championship.
Lee Jin seems to have a clue on the way, asking me if my name is Lee hojae.
And I answer yes.
Since then, Lee Jin has been asking me to participate in the tournament.
But what makes me more concerned is that she doesn’t waver after hearing my name.
She becomes more interested, wants to team up with me and win prizes.
To be honest, I’m surprised.
I thought that if I say my name, she would feel afraid, which is a normal response. But I didn’t expect her to be so happy.
This makes me strangely confused.
Is it because I haven’t been exposed to people for a long time?
People have forgotten me.
Perhaps simply because she’s not a challenger in the early period.
Maybe just because she’s an unusual person.
In any case, it’s convenient for me to have a good conversation.
In addition to the tournament, I also ask some questions about the community and other challengers’ trend.
So I don’t have to ask Kim MinHyuk anymore.
After walking for three or four hours, we come to the end of the forest path and see the portal.
Seeing the portal, Lee Jin says.
The portal will probably take you to your residential area.
I send a message to Kim MinHyuk, telling him that I will arrive soon.
Kim MinHyuk replies that he would send someone to pick me up at the other end of the portal.
He adds that I don’t have to hurry over because there is nothing to do. But I have nothing to do but to find him.
The place I arrive through the portal looks like a residential area.
There are pretty nice brick buildings along the street.
It looks very similar to the residence on the 90th floor.
Nothing special.
“It’s clean.”
[keeekkeeek!]
The frog monster behind me expresses his approval.
… Why did this guy follow me here?
I pull down the man on my back, wondering whether to send the frog monster back with portal. Then there is an explosion in the sky.
Bang! Bang!
I’m frightened and hurried to look up to the sky. The sky is full of colorful fireworks.
It’s fireworks.
What’s this?
Firecracker in the tournament.
I don’t think it’s arranged in the system.
I see a lot of people walking around with firecrackers and ignition tools on the building.
I don’t know how to prepare, and it’s spectacular.
Different from the sparks and flashes that occur in the battle, the colorful fireworks appearing one after another are very beautiful.
Fireworks continue.
I am enjoying myself when the news comes up.
[The God of Light is excited!]
[The God of Light decides to bless his apostles. ]
[Voting begins.]
[For:1, against:98]
[The God of Light feels losing face.]
