Madman in a Fantasy World

130. rough-and-tumble test

“Hey, Argo… Skip this. I recommend Luke as an S-class adventurer. Judging from the capabilities he showed in this Volcanic Keratin Dragon raid, we judged his strength to be enough to match that of an S-class. Technically or magically There are some people who occupy a spot for the part, but they are stronger than me, so I judged that there is a good chance.”

Here is the content of the letter. Saying that, Argo put the letter back on the table. To put it roughly, it means that they recommend me as an S-class, but they said it was good for me, and that was perfect.

“Was S-rank recommended?”

“It’s not like that, but there’s nothing I can’t do with a recommendation. It’s not a recommendation from a stranger whose name I don’t know, but it’s from an S-class adventurer. It’s better to go up by recommendation rather than the official way.”

“Then am I now S-class?”

S-class easy. Can I go downstairs and teabagging the assholes below? Oh, but I didn’t think it would suddenly turn out like this, so today I don’t have anything prepared for teabagging. Argo stopped such happy worries.

“Unfortunately, that’s impossible.”

“why?”

“If all the recommended S-class adventurers became S-class adventurers, there would be only three S-class adventurers on the continent?”

That’s true, but I don’t think they would have recommended someone else. Wasn’t I the first to be recommended?

“Did you think being S-rank was that easy?”

“yes.”

Wouldn’t it be easy if you came this far in less than a year?

“…don’t speak of it as a standard for genius. It’s a place that others can’t reach even if they spend their entire lives.”

“Could you say that it’s effort?

If others hear it, they’ll know that it’s a blood relative. I think I tried twice as hard as everyone else. because? When people are born, they naturally awaken their magical powers and learn monsters, but I already blew two years from coming to this world.

If he came this far with a body like Rock Lee without a handful of magical powers, then he is a hard-working genius. What is this if not effort?

“Yeah yeah… you’re good.”

“So why is S-class impossible?”

“You’re in Class B right now. It’s not possible according to regulations to go up without an intermediate stage.”

Hey, that bastard’s rules are different and different. People should live with a little flexibility, if they live that tight, hair loss will come later.

“But even with the material I brought this time, can’t I go up to A-class without a promotion test?”

Originally, before going to Alfheim, I was trying to meet the A-class promotion conditions. Unfortunately, it was impossible, but instead I brought proof that I had subdued an S-class monster. Isn’t this enough to be a free pass for class A?

“As you said, if you bring something like this, you can go up to rank A without having to take the promotion test.”

“Right?”

“But.”

need a cause Argo said. You mean you need more justification here? I caught even S-class monsters, but it’s up to 100 million that I can’t even go to A-class.

If that happens, I will change my occupation to a serial killer instead of an adventurer this time. Argo urgently made an excuse when he saw my expression, which looked like he was going to go crazy at any moment.

“It’s nothing special. All you need is proof that you took the promotion test to go to Class A.”

“What is the evidence?”

“It’s simple. Let’s have a sparring with me.”

***

So, together with Argo, they moved to the plain beyond the imperial wall.

“Why did you come all the way here without leaving the training ground under the guild?”

“As Gideon-hyung said, if you have the strength of a real S-class adventurer, you won’t be able to use the training ground. I don’t want to spend money on pointless things.”

that’s an excellent choice Come to think of it, I smashed some of the walls of buildings when I messed with elves in the past.

At that time, the elf took care of it on its own, but I don’t want to spend my money doing it again.

“Then, let’s start soon.”

Argo took out the straight sword that was tied around his waist. The straight sword was an ordinary longsword without any special patterns.

Argo stood up as if he had his own swordsmanship. I responded by pulling out a sword from my inventory.

There have been various appearances so far, and I was curious about how strong he would be because he had the position of guild leader of the adventurer’s guild.

Before long, Argo’s eyes changed sharply, and he jumped at me with a thud.

Wasn’t it sparring because you needed a justification? Why am I so motivated, I can’t keep up with that tension.

Argo approached me and swung the sword in his right hand wide.

no there What should I do if I attack like that in a place where there is no device like this even though it’s Dalian?

I wouldn’t die even if I got hit, but if it was someone else, that attack would separate my upper body and lower body.

Argo was slower than the elves and demons we fought last time, but faster than me. Still, it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t stop it, so I put my sword aside. One of the advantages of the juggernaut is that it can be set sideways to block all attacks coming in that direction.

After blocking Argo’s heartfelt attack, his left hand flew right away. At first I thought it was just a fist, but when I looked closely, I saw that he was holding a sword.

With a sword that cut through my chest in an instant.

“Tet-Kai.”

“······!”

But I have an invincible iron ingot. Seeing that the attack just now didn’t work, Argo instantly jumped back and retreated.

“What is it… is your body even made of steel?”

“Would it be better than iron now?”

At first, it was a little less than iron. But yesterday, when I put my stats on my stamina for 4P, my defense and stamina increased significantly.

The problem is that the increase in stamina is not felt much except during sex. Originally, I wasn’t running around, I was someone who flew around with a single jump and hunted with a single attack.

“Rather than that. I didn’t expect to see a dual wielder here.”

and! Two swords! Awesome! Great! At first, I thought he moved the sword from his right hand to his left hand using magic. But now Argo had swords in both hands.

“Where is the person who reveals all the cards from the beginning?”

“Well, that’s right.”

I have a mountain of skills I haven’t used yet. According to the information I just found out in the battle of the agreement, if the elves and demons that we fought last time were speed-specialized types, Argo could be considered a balanced type.

An all-rounder with strength, speed, and stamina. His speed was a bit faster than mine, and the shock that came up to his hand from the sword he blocked was considerable. Of course, he was weaker than me.

“Whoa… It sure seems like yesterday that I came to join the adventurer in my academy uniform, but when did I become so strong?”

“Considering what happened to me, wouldn’t it be weirder not to be strong?”

I’ve caught a few demons, but if they don’t get stronger, that’s even weirder.

“Still, I gradually got a sense of how to deal with it.”

Well, Argo is not an undead without a brain. Humans would naturally try to find a strategy somehow.

Argo kicked the ground again.

This time, instead of rushing forward, he made a great turn to the side at high speed.

Argo himself must have known. Gideon recommended one strength, so I should avoid a strength confrontation as much as possible.

Having a relative advantage in one place accompanies these advantages. Stealing one of your opponent’s strategies. In this case, I stole one of Argo’s head-to-head confrontations.

“You don’t seem to know, so as your superior, let me tell you one thing. It can cut through anything, no matter how hard it is.”

Argo threw the swords in both hands toward my eyes. At that, I simply raised my sword to protect my eyes, and the bounced sword was roughly scattered somewhere on the ground.

Throwing the sword he uses, what the hell is he attacking with? The instant I lowered the sword, the sword flew into my eyes once again.

“yes?”

Did you just throw a sword? He raised his sword again to defend himself, and quickly looked around, and before he knew it, the rock swords Argo had made were stuck all over the ground.

‘I think I saw this in an anime too…’

As I was deeply concerned about the plagiarism controversy, Argo continued to use the same method and came right in front of me.

What am I going to do with a sword that I haven’t been able to sharpen before, that has weaker durability and less sharpness than iron? If you thought that, you would be blown away if you saw the blue light surrounding the rock sword.

“If you can’t cut it with one attack.”

You can cut it twice. Immediately after he spoke, two lines were drawn from right to left. At the same time, blood flowed from my chest.

And as if he had attacked them all, he quickly fell back. Afterwards, Argo, as if surprised to see something, raised his eyes to the size of a firecracker and pointed at me.

“You… what is that?”

Are you asking because you didn’t know what the real attack was?

“It’s blood. Did you just cut it and forgot it?”

“Not the blood, but the light in your chest.”

Would a guild leader want to win by doing that? You lie about what kind of light comes from people’s hearts.

“Ah. I don’t catch cheap fishing like that. I have a fishing jjambab.”

“No, what is that really?”

At first, I thought he was lying and trying to attack me, but when I saw his eyes that seemed to be appealing that it was real, I became curious too.

So when I lowered my gaze and checked my body, I was able to confirm that it was not a lie.

A green light appeared on the wound on my chest, and it slowly began to heal. However, rather than being restored with a flash of light like the heal in the game, the muscle fibers grow and are woven one by one to regenerate the muscles first, and there was a grotesque feeling of seeing the mystery of the human body that you did not want to know about.

‘What is this?’

the moment you think

◈ Skill information

Name: Yggdrasil’s Blessing

Grade: S

Description: Instantly recovers the user’s injuries. Recovery rate is constant. The recovery scene can be a bit brutal, so I recommend not watching it for young children.

“ah···.”

I could tell by looking at the explanation window that suddenly appeared. A skill I received from the World Tree this morning instead of a reward. I didn’t even check what it was.

The name of the skill is Yggdrasil’s Blessing, but if you use the ability as it is, it’s super-fast regeneration. The synergy with the berserker skill must be amazing.

“It’s one of the abilities I received from the World Tree as a reward for helping the raid this time.”

“…I wonder if they were able to give you that ability. I’ll have to fix the record when I go back to the guild.”

Do you think about work at times like this? I don’t think even the guild leader is doing it for anyone.

“By the way, what kind of person are you attacking like you’re going to kill someone?”

“Justification is justification, and curiosity is curiosity. Do you think it’s appropriate to kill someone who might be an S-class adventurer?”

“Then can I attack as if to kill me too?”

“what···?”

I can’t. Just for self-defense. I turned around and straightened my posture. It’s not derived from some kind of technology like Argo, it’s just a cocky stance that I’m comfortable wielding.

After waiting exactly 3 seconds, I kicked off my seat and took off. While flying, 2 seconds will pass and become 5 seconds. Arriving close to Argo, I swung my sword. In order to repay you for what you have suffered so far.

Surprised by that, Argo showed an attitude to quickly run away, so he set up a shadow to block it.

“…what?!”

“As a subordinate, I’ll give you a tip. If you can’t cut it in one shot.”

You’re fucking weak, so increase your strength so that you can kill him in one hit.

Without having time to understand what I was saying, Argo crossed his swords with both hands to defend himself. Not only that, but he pulled up from the floor to the ground and hit a double barrier.

-Kwaang-!

I couldn’t stop that much. The sword and wall that Argo was holding were shattered, and it flew away in the direction of the forest and landed there. Luna, who had been watching the scene, quietly approached and said insinuatingly.

“Why don’t you take it easy…”

“Is this also salsa?”

If I had applied the full buff like I did when I was catching the Volcanic Ceratopsian, Argo would have been a piece of cake.
