Episode 6. Entrance Exam (3)

‘Information window.’

[Slime: F]

It’s an ordinary slime.

A slime that is so weak that it cannot even use protective coloring techniques.

This is the first monster encountered in the game world.

It might be scary, but it’s okay. I was so calm that I was surprised.

‘Is it because of the mental defense skill?’

It’s impossible to feel fear.

It was the moment I realized that this skill is not necessarily good.

‘I need to get a weapon first.’

As I looked around, I was able to find a fairly large tree branch.

Not too long, not too short, not too heavy.

There’s nothing wrong with swinging it.

At this level, he is perfect to use as a club.

There is a sword given to him by Rodelin at his waist, but to Slime, the sword is a waste and a luxury.

I just asked because I wanted to get a weapon.

“Hehe, historically this was medicine.”

Wow!

The slime exploded with an exciting sound.

After swinging it two or three times, the core hidden inside the body was revealed.

This core is both the slime’s weak point and its main body.

‘As long as the nucleus exists, the slime can restore its body.’

Bye!

When the core was crushed, the slime collapsed.

All it left behind was sticky slime and a broken core.

He rubbed the club against the tree to shake off the slime, took the broken core, and put it in his pocket.

It was a broken core that didn’t even open the information window, but it was an essential item for me.

After catching about three, the level went up.

Although my physical strength did not recover, I felt some strength in my whole body.

This is because game players have a special reward where all stats increase by 1 every time they level up.

It also gives you 10pts to increase your stats, but this must be saved to use the hidden pieces that exist in the stat window.

In fact, it means that there is no PT in this exam. but.

“Hehe, it’s worth it.”

The time to head to Luna’s place is about an hour before the end of the exam.

Until then, all I had to do was swing my club.

* * *

“1 hour before the end of the first exam! “For those cadets who haven’t found the exit yet, hurry!”

The instructor’s loud shout reached my ears.

I felt several urgent movements beyond the bushes.

The confusion was further aggravated because several groups were mixed up.

Don’t you think the group that went in first has the advantage because they have more time?

Not like that. In fact, this maze was so easy that you could find the exit within 30 minutes by placing your hand on one wall and moving.

‘Because the only grading condition for the first test is whether you pass or not.’

All the supervisors want to see in the first test is thinking ability, judgment, patience, grit, and an unbreakable heart.

The slime was just a trap of sorts.

‘If you kill every slime you see to show off your skills, your stamina will quickly run out.’

While showing off all his skills to the slime, he lost the way he came.

Sweat flowing profusely, fatigue accumulating, and water that is hard to find.

Depleted stamina gradually erodes concentration, and the labyrinth has no end in sight.

Gradually, I fall into despair, and soon… … .

‘It makes me give up on the test.’

I also caught a lot of slime, but the situation was different from them.

He knows all the paths in the labyrinth, and he also knows the location of Ongdal Spring, which is the only one in the labyrinth.

Even now, I was drinking water there.

“Whoa… … “I guess I’ll live a little longer.”

A smile came out of my mouth.

This is because the harvest was greater than expected.

[Zero]

Horsepower: 16

Possessed skills: [Translation S], [Interpretation S], [Mental Defense S], [Information Window S], [Crinkling Speech S], [Ominous Aura B], [Open Eyes F]

Title held: None

I raised as many as 6 levels.

If you had raised your stats in the middle, you could have raised more levels, but that shouldn’t be the case.

‘You’re giving up the hidden pieces just to go up 2-3 levels more. ‘You can’t do that.’

That’s not the only reason.

As with most games, as you grow, levels become less meaningful.

This is partly because the experience required per level up increases, but the difference in stats is not that big.

For example, let’s say you focus all your stats on strength.

Strength at level 1 is 10.

If you invest all your stats into strength every time you level up, it will be 110 at level 11.

10 and 110.

In this way, the difference in stats between level 1 and level 10 causes a big difference that can be felt.

However, it is different at high levels.

‘If the power at level 200 is 2,110, the power at level 210 is only 2,210.’

The difference is the same 100, but it is meaningless.

The difference between skills and items determines whether you win or lose.

The final boss is my goal. But I couldn’t waste my points in a place like this.

‘You have to use it efficiently. Unless there is a crisis, save your points till the end.’

I checked my body condition by clenching my fists two or three times.

I’m a little tired, but not so much that I can’t move.

“then… … “Shall we go quickly?”

He started walking slowly with the club over his right shoulder.

I think I walked for about 5 minutes. I saw a child and an instructor standing in front of him.

“Po, I give up. I can’t do this anymore… … .”

“i get it. “First, drink water.”

The child snatched the instructor’s water bottle and gulped down the water.

The instructor’s eyes glanced towards me.

It was easy to understand his thoughts.

It’s an expression that says, ‘That guy will soon be eliminated too.’ because.

‘Because this is the exact opposite of the exit.’

Considering the remaining time, passing is difficult.

His judgment was correct. at the same time.

‘That’s the reaction I want.’

The place I am currently heading to is where Luna and the Hidden Piece are.

It was impossible to take the instructor there.

“Are you okay?”

“As you can see, it’s lively. I drank enough water… … Hehehe, I just need to find the way.”

The instructor’s eyes changed. Eyes that look like bugs.

He has a really troublesome appearance and way of speaking.

Well, I can’t help it because they look similar to those who have destroyed several continents.

“… … Right. cheer up. “Don’t give up until the end.”

This was the moment when the instructor completely focused his attention on me.

The ability to easily subdue slimes.

I’ve also confirmed that I have enough stamina left, so there’s no need to chase after me.

There are many children who collapse from exhaustion right away, so you will be busy taking care of them.

“Hehe, then let’s go.”

So I took a powerful step towards the first hidden piece.

Weren’t you going to help Luna, a stray dog?

Oh, he… … .

I will save you at the same time.

* * *

Traces of countless slashes on trees and bushes.

Among them, I stuck my head out between the intact bushes.

“Hehe, it’s as expected.”

Boom- boom-.

Luna was frantically swinging her sword in the air.

No, to be exact, it is not empty space.

About halfway through, the speed can be seen to slow down significantly.

It was as if something had caught on the sword.

‘Transparent slime… … ‘I can’t see more than I thought.’

Yes. The identity of the guy Luna was dealing with was ‘transparent slime’.

After focusing my attention on where she was repeatedly swinging her sword, I used the [Information Window] skill.

[Transparent Slime: S]

Lv: 20

Strength: 45

Agility: 17

Intelligence: 8

Stamina: 100

It is literally a transparent slime.

The experimental work of a nameless wizard.

It was a creature created with great difficulty, but the wizard missed it because it was invisible.

Luckily, I settled into a gap in the maze. I grew up eating other slimes.

Skills: [Super Regeneration S], [Predation A], [Appetite B], [Digestion B]

The maze’s predator and the reason why Luna wasn’t accepted into the honors class at the beginning of the semester.

‘I was harassed by this guy and used up all my stamina.’

It is only right before the end of the first test that the exit is finally found.

I narrowly avoided failing in the 2nd and 3rd exams due to lack of physical strength and entered the school.

Due to his eccentric personality, he goes through a difficult life at the academy, loses one arm, and goes missing.

“… … shit!”

Luna cursed.

A sword is an ineffective weapon against a slime, but this does not apply to a skilled person like her.

But the reason why Luna is struggling.

First, it is difficult to attack because its shape is invisible.

Second, the invisible slime’s physical strength is abnormally high compared to its level.

Third, the body quickly recovers due to the skill called [Super Regeneration].

‘Not only the main body, but also the weak point, the core, is not visible. So it’s bound to be difficult.’

Luna, who had been moving constantly, took a step back.

It was presumed that this was an action to escape the attack range of the transparent slime.

“What on earth is that? I’m sure it’s slime… … If it’s a secret test hidden by the academy, I’ll have to conquer it… … .”

“I don’t really see a way… … “This is a really difficult situation.”

“that’s right. It’s really difficult… … Ouch! “What, what!”

Wow, you still scream like a girl.

It was a new discovery. Unlike her cute appearance, Luna was a very foul-mouthed child.

“You, you suddenly appeared out of nowhere! No, are you following me? “You perverted stalker!”

“Hehe, it’s a misunderstanding.”

“What is the misunderstanding… … Get away from me! “Because I found that!”

Luna seems to think that the invisible slime is a hidden test from the academy.

But there was no time to explain the truth, so I took action right away.

“Let’s make a deal.”

“… … transaction?”

“I’ll tell you how to attack that guy. You have the credit too. However, you can hand over the by-products from killing him to me.”

Luna’s eyes rolled as much as possible.

It seems like he doesn’t know what the situation is.

There was no time to argue, so I decided to quickly explain the main points.

“Here’s the problem! “What is slime’s weakness?”

“It’s nuclear. I know! But what should I do if I can’t see it?”

“Let me make it visible. It’s up to you to kill. Now do you agree to the deal?”

“… … First, explain how.”

There was no explanation.

I took out the core of the slime that I had gathered neatly in my pocket.

Then he threw it in the direction where the transparent slime was presumed to be.

Has it been about 5 seconds? The core floated into the air.

“… … “That way!”

Luna let out an exclamation.

Slime basically eats microorganisms, but it also grows by eating each other.

The strong one covers the body of the weak one, then destroys the core and eats it.

The important thing here is that the core of regular slime has color.

“Hehe, without even knowing that, that slime will lead you to where your core is in order to absorb it. “Where there is a fatal weakness.”

“… … Sheesh!”

Did he not like the fact that he received help?

Luna clicked her tongue and rushed over.

An exciting sword line was engraved in the air. but.

“Tsk!”

Luna’s sword could not reach the core of the transparent slime.

Luna’s attack power was insufficient to cut both the mucous membrane and the core.

‘If I use my family’s secret technique, I could easily win.’

Since you have eyes to see, don’t use it carelessly.

Me too, but I think the instructor is watching somewhere.

But contrary to her thoughts, there are no instructors here.

‘Because it’s a space that doesn’t even exist on the labyrinth map.’

A place Luna arrived at because she had serious morals.

The setting of the game is that an invisible slime who escaped from a wizard lived there.

‘If I give up like this, I’ll be the one in trouble.’

In the game, Luna gives up being transparent slime and chooses to break through the labyrinth.

Because entering the academy was that important. No, it’s really about entering school.

‘Because it’s the only way to avenge the family.’

The reason why Luna hides her family’s swordsmanship, it’s a secret.

This is because he is a descendant of the ‘Leicester family’ who attempted a rebellion and is the only survivor.

However, having played it multiple times, I know the truth. Luna… … .

‘A poor child who struggles to restore the honor of his extinct family after being falsely accused.’

Her purpose for entering the academy is to increase her power and find the family that was falsely accused.

So it won’t be long before you run away from the invisible slime.

Considering the value of the hidden pieces that can be obtained through transparent slime, my side is at a greater loss.

I had to persuade.

“Write down your family’s secret secret.”

“… … droughty? What kind of bullshit is that? “I’m a commoner.”

“Don’t lie. “Miss Luna de Leicester, the only survivor of the Leicester family.”

Luna’s eyes grew enormously.
