Chapter 11
Episode 11
As soon as I left the Tower of War, the flash shutter went off. It is impossible to know what is happening in the tower from the outside. However, the player's safe appearance and the tower's disappearance meant only one thing.
Above all, the ‘player ranking' itself, which records the player's performance, can be viewed by everyone.
We conquered several towers. It quantifies the player's strength and performance by scoring the value of the skills or equipment he or she possesses, etc.
The King of Heroes and the Sword Master clashed at the Tower of War, and the result was revealed on the Ranking Board.
“Breaking news! Player Kang Yoo-seong has just successfully conquered the 5th tier tower! “We are still unrivaled in first place!”
“Even throughout the entire season, the gap between first and second place is unprecedented!”
“A special report has arrived from Beijing! “The Sword Master has officially announced that he has failed to conquer the 5th tier top!”
“Geomju’s player ranking has plummeted from 2nd to 14th!”
“Wow, it’s falling like my stock.”
Reporters were on alert and racing to relay information, and Yoosung muttered as if it were someone else's business. Since the hero-level skill card was taken away, the blow was indescribable.
《Fighting Sword》
- Attribute. Metal
- Grade . Hero
- Ability
. You can infuse your thoughts into the sword and control it freely.
And that wasn't even all.
Frost sword creation (cold - metal), stabbing (metal), sword technique (metal).
To obtain synergy without the help of artifacts, etc., three skill cards of the same attribute are required. And with this, three metal skills were gathered.
[Steel synergy has been obtained! The effects of equipped metal attribute skill cards are strengthened!]
Following the glacier synergy, two attribute synergies have already been secured, including the steel synergy. Moreover, apart from the synergy, the sword technique itself was the perfect skill for the current Yoosung.
For Yoosung, who wields the sword of cold and shadow, it meant breaking free from the constraints of his body.
“Do you plan to continue attacking the tower from now on?”
“No, I’m going to go home and have a roll.”
Yoosung answered the reporter's next question calmly.
Just as he was about to escape from the reporters, a shadow blocked Yoosung's path without even a trace.
“Hey, you stupid bastard. Is the bastard who called reporters and revealed the address of Safe House going to lose his role there? huh?'
“Uh... so I decided to go to the PC room.”
“I told you above and I found a new house, so go there. “I’ll send you the address.”
With that said, Master Park sent a message. Like his previous residence, it was the address of the Safe House under the National Intelligence Service.
“Did you run a little on the first day too?”
“How can I afford that? Since the first day of the season, the warmongers on Earth have been singing the Sonata of Destruction together.”
“Oh my, you are working so hard today for world peace.”
“Oh right. And you don’t plan on playing top right away anyway.”
“Starting tomorrow, I’m going to adjust my pace and push a few tier 4 tops.”
To win a long-distance race, controlling your breathing is more important than anything else. Especially after whipping my body too hard like I did today.
“Okay, that’s good. “The association was looking for you.”
“Association? “Is there still something left to eat up my spine?”
Yoosung frowned and answered the unexpected name.
Commonly known as KPA (Korean Player Association), it is the country's players' association and at the same time ‘the only guild in the country', an omnipotent organization that controls players.
“You know Player Academy? A facility established by the association to train elite players.”
“It’s not an academy, it’s
probably a slave training center.”
“The world has changed, kid. It’s not the time like before where people recklessly charge into the tower just because they’re a player.”
“I want to drink a latte...
After the world regained its own order and, above all, when player power became directly linked to military power, it became urgent to reduce damage to players and foster elite players. Education according to a strictly defined
curriculum Developing quality players through a combination of training and actual competition. No country was an exception. “
Anyway, the first jockey graduation exam is scheduled to be held there soon. The association asked you to participate and brighten the event.” .”
“I have so much hair, how can I make it shine?”
“So are you going or not?”
“Tell me to go fuck myself.”
“I’ll tell you as it is without changing anything in particular.”
Master Park shrugged his shoulders and opened the messaging app.
“Uh, dear president of the association… The King of Heroes said… fuck it… fuck it.
“Just for a moment.”
“why?”
However, Yoosung soon shook his head and stopped Master Park,
“Now that I think about it, I think we need to keep an eye on the new players who will take on the future of this country.”
“Did you accidentally pick up some poisonous mushrooms in the tower? Shall I take you to the emergency room?”
“Is that possible? So, on what day are the academy students taking their graduation exams?”
Master Park responded to Yoosung’s words with an extremely ominous look on his face,
“In one week.”
“Right now, the training is scheduled for 5 a.m. tomorrow. I cannot participate without coordinating the schedule.”
“Oh, that’s it… I’ll coordinate it right away. I’m sure the people in the association will bow to that level.”
In any case, it is not an association that does not know the weight of the name of the King of Heroes. No matter how bad the relationship was, they had to use what was available, and the association would be more than willing to bend to that level. Master Park nodded and Yoosung continued walking
.
“Hey hey, where are you going?”
“I’m going to a PC room.”
“You bastard, the graduation
exam is scheduled for 5 a.m. tomorrow!”
“Please send a car in front of the PC room in the morning
.”
Yoosung walked away and Master Park closed his mouth in bewilderment.
“Please don’t cause an accident.”
In mourning for the future heroes who will suddenly take the test in front of this idiot.
The next day at 5 a.m., the Player Academy located in Gongneung-dong, Seoul.
It was a luxurious building built from head to toe with state-of-the-art facilities, and the inside was also something to behold. There was nothing. In addition to being a facility for nurturing players, it also served as the KPA secretariat. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the building itself was the backbone of the association itself. “Thank you for taking the difficult step, player Kang Yoo-seong.
”
And the one who greeted the shooting star at the top of the building was a man with neatly trimmed, all-white hair.
“It’s a big deal. The association that starts the competition calls me because of the three letters of my name.”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry. My name is Lee Seong-ho, the new president of KPA. All I can do is express my gratitude to Mr. Kang Yoo-seong for giving me some free time during a busy time at the beginning of the season.”
Heedless of Yoo Seong's sarcasm, the all-white-haired chairman Lee Seong-ho smiled.
“As you know, our academy is nurturing the next generation of heroes who will take charge of this country in the future. By introducing a different method to fit the changing world.”
“Did the Earth spin upside down?”
“Well, don’t say that… let’s look around together.”
Saying that, the president of the association stood up and Yoosung nodded silently.
The two people were headed to the academy facility on the lower floor of the building. They could see the cadets gathered in the state-of-the-art hall from the early morning, forming groups of twos and threes. Although they were wearing stylish uniforms, it was clear that they were all players who had signed a contract with the monarch. “This is the testing
site
. Various mock battles and similar situations in the tower are conducted on the premise that a platoon of four players will work together. “It’s a place where you can experience player combat.”
“Chung! Castle!”
When the president of the association appeared at the test site, saying so, the players there all stopped and saluted.
“In the future, nurturing players will not be done in the same way as before, but will be a systematically structured curriculum and system. . Starting with the first rider of the Player Academy here.”
‘’Did you call me here just to brag about the school?”
When Yooseong asked again, the president of the association shook his head with a wry smile.
“That can’t be possible. I was very impressed when I heard the performance you showed in the battle with the sword master. You are truly the pinnacle of a player and a figure worthy of the ‘King of Heroes.’ “It was.”
“Well, I had to be a little better off.”
“That is why I hope that Mr. Kang Yoo-seong will personally see and evaluate the achievements of this academy.”
At the same time, the players lined up and saluted all at once. Only then
did we learn why the association had invited Yoo Seong. It
was literally to test their performance. Checking the performance of the cadets against the pinnacle of players. In order to extract data from the King of Heroes.
State-of-the-art cameras were moving all over the place. Presumably, the equipment located throughout this test site would be recording Yoosung's every move and extracting it as data. ‘That's right, they are trying to take
people's spines like this . Come or go.'
Yoosung shook his head in bewilderment. He must have been intentionally keeping his schedule in mind. That's why he kept farming at the tower and prepared a spot before the gap widened further. “Good.
”
However, Yoosung did not refuse and nodded obediently,
“Instead, there is one more thing you must give me.”
“Please tell me.”
“I am testing these students’ capabilities, so it is up to me to evaluate whether or not they will graduate.”
The president of the association frowned at the unexpected words that followed. But the agitation was short-lived.
“Please do as you wish.”
At the same time, the academy's cadet players all prepared for battle.
As I said, they were not rookies to look down on.
The academy was originally established right after the season of “Descent of the Plague Lord,” which means that the first generation of students here also played an active role as players for at least one season.
Elites who are fostered through the association and receive a lot of support. It was not difficult to understand the purpose of the Player Academy.
‘This is how I'm going to raise a hunting dog.'
In this country, unless you are a ranker like Yoo Seong or Master Park Jeong-do, there is no player who can survive being selected by the association. Unlike the West, these countries, including China and Russia, also adopt the ‘one country, one guild' system, and the only guild in the country is the KPA-Players Association.
After thinking that far, Yoosung clicked his tongue.
‘You have to turn everything over to come to your senses.'
It was time to test the synergy between the hero grade skill ‘Flame Swordsmanship’ and steel obtained from the sword lord.
