Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

# 71

71. Tournament (2)

1 party has one seat left.

There were two applicants.

The number of people is not suitable even for drafting.

It was time to send one more useful guy up or if there was no particular talent, it was time to do a paid lottery. But Amkenna didn’t seem to think so. They stayed connected and watched us.

‘It’s clumsy.’

I think I have learned to some extent, but the operation is still immature.

There are three empty seats in the first party and the second party. There were two supplements and two wanted to join the first party. It was a perfect situation for a dispute to arise.

I sighed and looked at the two in turn.

Belquist and Nerissa are confronting each other with cold expressions. The two former colleagues showed hostility towards each other.

“So what are you going to do?”

I said.

“There is only one seat available. Only one of the two can come in. Are you asking me to choose one?

“That’s a lot of luck. I think we need some other valid method.”

“Are you leaving it to my choice to be a valid method?”

Nerissa nodded.

Belquist said nothing. It was a tacit agreement.

I looked at Edith and said.

“What do you think?”

“I…”

Edith frowned.

He had complex eyes mixed with various emotions. Edith continued, putting her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache.

“You decide, Han. I don’t want to forcefully bring someone who doesn’t want to come.”

“There’s not enough people. The party won’t go back.”

Edith sighed in silence.

I looked at the two again.

I’ve never fought together, but I guessed my personal specs through several sparring and observation of the status window.

In terms of pure fighting power, Belquist has the upper hand. In terms of overall sense and usability, Nerissa has the upper hand.

Both have exceptional talents that are rare among lesser heroes. They were excellent talents with all three elements, including mental and physical skills. It was a question of whether or not one person would appear out of 100 people.

But it’s not completely guaranteed. The true value of a hero was revealed in actual combat.

“It would be better to ask for it by lot. No matter who I choose, I think there will be dissatisfaction. Is there anyone who has been decided?”

“Okay.”

Iolka whispered beside her.

I rested my chin on my hand.

‘If it wasn’t for his damn attitude, I’d have picked it easily.’

Neither of them seems to have a normal personality.

self-assertion is strong They tend to look down on those who are inferior to themselves.

He was the type that had a hard time matching teamwork. On the contrary, it is also a good adaptation to the law of the strong self-existence and the weak.

‘I’ll do whatever you want.’

I leaned deeply into the back of the chair.

“I hate deciding by chance. I hate leaving it in the hands of others. Do you mean that you want to enter according to your abilities?”

“Exactly.”

“yes.”

The two answered at the same time.

I pointed to the barbed wire in the arena.

“Then fight.”

The two faces hardened.

“I don’t know your abilities, so how are you going to pick them up? Two people stick together. I’m telling you to spend all your money.”

“What do you mean?”

“If you like efficiency, I’ll change the way. Can you see the arena behind you? Recovery doesn’t work there. Fight until one person is knocked down. The decision is made later.”

The training ground became noisy.

Edith came over and said.

“Isn’t that a bit extreme?”

“Isn’t it radical that the two of you were going to join the first party?”

It was they who didn’t want to come out quietly.

If you want a non-lucky way, just do it.

selection match.

It was a rule favored by the master who ran the waiting room aggressively.

The draft rule collapsed as the number of people was already different.

In order to fill the power gap between the two parties, a high-end hero had to be put into the second party, but Amkena is not summoning. I had no choice but to make the best choice possible.

“If you’ll leave me to decide, don’t complain no matter what the outcome. Then I’ll make selections according to your abilities and needs as you wish.”

Those two have different personalities than Xena and Aaron Iolka.

He has a strong tendency to view other heroes as competitors rather than comrades, and generally respects the strong and despises the weak. I have no intention of denying that type, as long as I don’t just play around like a maned wolf.

In the first place, this world is divided into grades among heroes, and there is a system called synthesis. The two of them are nothing more than optimized for this world. Depending on how you handle it, it will be a great force.

It just requires a different approach than before.

“Is that how you come out?”

Belquist laughed bitterly.

“Well, okay. Do you mean to fight?

Belquist opened the iron window and entered the arena.

There was no hesitation in his steps. Belquist touched the scabbard.

“Do you mind if I kill you?”

“do whatever you want.”

“I’ll do whatever I want.”

Nerissa also ran up the stairs in one run.

It was a nimble movement comparable to Jenna’s. Entering the arena, Nerissa took an opaque glass bottle from her bosom and spread the liquid inside on the blades of her sword and dagger.

Belquist’s expression stiffened.

“This woman has turned.”

“Do you want to do it?”

Nerissa said coldly.

‘It’s poison.’

Nerissa has a skill related to poison in her stat window.

It was a skill I had since I came here. There was an ingredient in the dungeon for the day of the week, and it was made by collecting it. According to the recipe, it was a strong paralyzing poison that caused convulsions throughout the body as soon as it touched the body.

“I’ve used it against monsters a lot. This is the first time I’ve used it against people.”

“I won’t have a chance to try it.”

The two of them started preparing for battle while swearing on the opposite side of the arena.

Jenna, who was watching this, shook her head.

“The atmosphere is absolutely savage. Doesn’t anyone go for a goal like this?”

“It could be.”

It is not uncommon for heroes to die in sparring or duels.

This was one of the representative causes of accidents for heroes treated as sudden deaths. Each Master responded differently. It is judged as a sin and synthesized or passed over as self-defense. Of course, there are cases where the judgment is different in each case.

Even though the decision had been made, he had no intention of accepting it if one of them killed the other. Because there is a line that cannot be crossed.

‘I did that.’

I chuckled.

There is no precedent for me.

I was thinking of allowing myself to have an unavoidable accident.

I don’t know how Amkenna will feel, though.

[‘Belquist (★★)’ challenges ‘Nerissa (★★)’ to a duel!] [

‘Nerissa (★★)’ challenges ‘Belquist (★★)’ to a duel!]

[Both sides I agree to this duel.]

A message popped up informing me of whether or not to duel.

[Mutual agreement duel!]

[Do you agree?]

[Yes (optional) / No]

Amkena pressed the consent without hesitation.

He seemed to notice that a party selection was taking place.

He must have been watching with interest while eating popcorn. Unlike me and Avant, the condition of synthesis was not applied.

sereung.

The sound of a sword being drawn rang out.

“Tell me anytime. I’ll start right away.”

Cold aura radiated from Belquist’s body.

It was the effect of the activation-type skill of killing. It had the effect of lowering the will to fight of opponents who lacked mental strength.

Nerissa unfazed, gripping her sword.

Nerissa also possessed an excellent passive skill, Calmness.

I said as the two pointed their weapons at each other.

“Begin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Belquist dug in.

Explosive speed using recoil with lowered upper and lower body. The quicksword sprinkled white light. Nerissa shed the blade with the dagger in her left hand, then calmly stabbed the sword. The target is poorly defended arms and legs. It is an effective attack method considering the characteristics of poison.

Belquist does not defend.

Consistently evading, he did not stop the right hand that sprayed the sword. Nerissa also attacked and defended with a triple sword and a dagger.

Sparks flew as the two swords interlocked. The long sword and the short sword were intersecting, making them dizzy. Usher opened his mouth.

“That guy… It’s different from fighting me!”

“He was hiding his power.”

Edith sighed once more.

Their two main weapons are a one-handed sword and a twin sword. The weapon skill level is 4, the same as Usher. However, their sense of battle is different.

Belquist and Nerissa continued their battles, busily going back and forth throughout the training ground within a radius of less than 10m. The sound of metal clashing with swords echoed incessantly.

The two of them showed no signs of caring.

like killing someone. Each pushed the other with all their might.

Belquist put on an annoyed expression for a moment.

Nerissa kicked off the barbed wire next to her and jumped up to the ceiling, stabbing her in the crown.

‘You’re using the advantage of the place.’

I smiled.

Nerissa uses the training ground surrounded by walls on all sides and the ceiling to focus her attacks on areas that are difficult to block or evade. It is the application of agile body movement skills.

“Those two, haven’t been here for a while? That’s amazing. Their level and skills should be high soon.”

Iolka, who was watching the fight, flapped her fan and said, Jenna’s eyes also lit up.

However, Aaron was looking at the two with a detached and dazzling expression for some reason.

‘…’

I continued pretending not to know.

“Take a good look. It will be a study in its own way.”

The battle between the two continued their fierceness.

The main push was Belquist. Belquist, who quickly adapted to attacks using elevation differences, swung his sword in all directions and drove Nerissa into the corner.

The decision was instantaneous.

As Belquist was about to corner and finish, Nerissa quickly tossed the throwing star hidden inside her sleeve.

The shuriken sliced lightly through Belquist’s right arm.

[‘Belquist (★★)’ has become bleeding. Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]

It was a very small wound that was not as good as a graze.

However, the commendation was imbued with an instant-acting paralytic poison.

[‘Belquist (★★)’ has become poisoned.]

[The effect is paralysis! A part of the hero’s body becomes inactive.]

“I won…”

“Do you think so?”

Belquist struck Nerissa in the stomach with the tip of her sword. Nerissa’s mouth parted with the sound of drumming.

“…!”

single blow.

Nerissa collapsed.

[‘Belquist(★★)’ won the duel against ‘Nerissa(★★)’.]

Belquist put her sword in the sheath and looked down at Nerissa.

“I won.”

“I guess so.”

“Your body doesn’t move properly. You look like a naive bitch.”

Belquist spat.

The effect of the feral nature temporarily dispelled the paralysis poison, but that’s it. It seemed that he was gradually falling into an addiction.

It was a fun finish.

Nerissa intentionally drove herself into a corner, drawing Belquist’s gap. All previous twin swordsmanship was a trick. It was to hit the commendation that was hidden only once.

However, Belkist believed in his skill, wild nature, and pushed ahead and finished it.

“That sister, it’s pretty.”

Jenna noticed the flow of the battle.

I looked at the other members who were watching Dalian.

‘Are Edith and Roderick Jenna the only ones who properly grasped the number fight?’

The rest were fascinated by the splendor of Dalian, but failed to notice the meaning behind it.

“Coke, Coke!”

Nerissa curled up and coughed violently. His handsome face was contorted with pain.

Belkisit, who had been looking at this indifferently, turned her gaze to me.

“As you can see, the results have come out. Are you not dissatisfied, too?”

“Yes, I saw it well. The conclusion came out.”

“Then of course…”

“The member who will be joining the 1st party is Nerisa.”

“what?”

Belquist stopped moving and stiffened.

The effects of the paralytic poison seemed to be working. Belquist asked.

“Could you say it again?”

“I’ll tell you again and again. Nerissa is included in the first party.”

Nerissa, who had fallen, let out a coughing laugh.

Belquist’s expression crumpled.

“Why?”

“Do you know the composition of the 1st party? A swordsman, a spearman, a wizard, and an archer. It consists of four pure combatants. In order to respond to a wide range of variables, we need talented people like Nerissa.”

“…under.”

“I would have thought if you were overpowered enough to ignore the penalty, but I don’t think you are.”

When I finished, Nerissa smiled faintly.

“If this woman hadn’t resorted to the mean trick, I would have beaten her down in five minutes.”

“I appreciate your talent. But you’re not needed in our party. That’s all. Or would you like to fight me? If you hold out for one minute, I’ll accept it without hesitation.”

Belquist laughed.

Then, suddenly, he looked in Aaron’s direction.

“How about the other members?”
