There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 37

14. Iliana Noel (3)

It was the second missing machine I witnessed after falling into this world. Last time it was human form, but this time it was beast form.

To be honest, the thought I’m thinking right now is rather pleasant.

This was because, not only can you get tracking points if you fix the missing no, but you also have to work hard to find bugs to increase the fix rate by the decimal point.

but.

I just can’t get a sense of how the world will change when this guy is modified.

Missingno continued to transform its form even now.

Seeing the change into a small animal or into a giant animal, it must have been dummy data related to animals.

‘animal? Anything related to animals?’

I thought of the background and setting of Paradise Academia.

At one time, there were rumors that the wildlife ecosystem of Paradise Academia was very poor.

When asked why the foraging plants were well implemented and other ecosystems such as wild animals were not implemented, the developers answered that way.

There is no problem with ‘gameability’.

As the saying goes, the debate about wildlife quickly subsided.

Users have already said that there are a lot of bugs, and if wild animals are added to it, the game will not be able to hold up any longer.

‘Then wild animal related patches are on hold.’

Then I suddenly remembered Illyana’s owl.

In fact, if you think about it a little, there are many people who have pets in Paradise Academia.

It is not difficult to find puppies playing with children on the streets, and there are cats yawning in the shade in the back alleys.

Right now, even Illyana doesn’t have a pet named Minerva with her.

“Then you were thinking of implementing a real pet?”

I could recall a story floating around on the forum.

Originally, I had a plan to implement a pet separately from the companion, but it seems to be a nuanced post that it was not released due to adult circumstances.

Could this be the same reason as the wild animals above? It means that there is no way to implement a pet whose priority is pushed aside, as we have to fix the overflowing bugs right away.

In the first place, Paradise Academia is a console RPG exclusively for solo play. You must have decided that there is no need to overdo it in the yard where there is no multiplayer.

Thinking like that, it feels like a reasonable inference that this missing piece is a dummy data of a pet.

“Ummm… if it’s really a pet, it wouldn’t hurt to add it.”

Camila is the only person who can still be called a companion. If you can tame pets apart from their companions, it’s not a loss-making business.

I approached Missingno and reached out my hand.

Then he quickly disappears into the bush. Because it was in the shape of a rabbit, it moved very quickly.

“damn!”

I ran through the bushes and followed Missingno.

He felt a tingling sensation every time the grass brushed against his skin, but as if sneering at that day, he went deeper and deeper into the forest.

‘If you get lost while doing this, you’re in trouble.’

Suddenly I was worried, but I couldn’t stop my feet.

If it even disappeared, that would be a disappointment.

It has been over a month since I fell here, and the fertilization rate has not yet deviated from the initial 3% level.

As there was a saying to complete the game, in the end, it means that the correction of Missingno is essential to clear this damn game.

How far did you go after that?

As he slowly ran out of breath, he finally stopped.

Carefully approaching Missingno to avoid running away again.

Even if I reached a distance that I could reach with just a little outstretched hand, the guy just looked at me and didn’t show any movement.

“Huh, heh heh heh… If that’s the case, why the hell did you come all the way here?”

That was when I was about to touch the rabbit to fix the sewing machine.

The white rabbit jumped to its feet.

Bewildered, he stepped back, and bit the flower in his mouth and grumbled.

‘Spirit grass?’

The yellow flower resembling a dandelion was one of the alchemy materials.

It was a necessary material to train the skill called elemental sensitivity, but there is no other place to use it, so it is a collectible item that is treated as a complete miscellaneous item.

Is it just the setting that you like this kind of grass?

I thought nothing of it and gently stroked the rabbit with my hand wrapped in green light.

After the rabbit disappeared, a console window appeared.

[The bug has been fixed.]

[Fixed bugs: 2]

[Bug fix rate: 6.3%]

[Tracking points are added by reaching 5%!]

‘Wow, crazy, did it go up 3% again?’

Again, it was much more efficient to fix the missing machine than to fix the small bugs. There are additional trekking points.

Thanks, overwhelming thanks!

“But after all, what kind of dummy data was this?”

A question that came to mind naturally, I tried to check the fix log.

That moment.

squeaky. Kug gurggle-

Along with the loud sound of something growing and breaking, the ground I stand on shakes like an earthquake.

“What else is this?”

As I stepped back, a tree trunk came up from the ground covered with shallow grass until before.

The trunk continued to grow, and soon became a tree. Branches sprout in the blink of an eye and grow into a giant tree covered in green leaves.

However, there was a distinct difference from ordinary trees.

The center of the tree was hollow like a tree nest, and yellow flames were flashing in it.

It felt like the ‘goblin fire’ that you usually see in fantasy games.

As if possessed, I put my hand inside it and grabbed the flame. I didn’t feel anything hot or cold.

However, the thrilling sensation continues from the flame. It feels like electricity.

‘What the hell is this… … .’

The flame grew bigger and bigger. It had now covered my hands and filled the trees.

A yellow flame blazing with fierce momentum. A mysterious energy that I have never felt before flows into my body.

When I woke up, it was just after the flames burning in the tree hole had disappeared.

“…?”

It’s clear that something has absorbed the power, but I don’t know what it is.

If this happened after fixing the missing data, then this is definitely dummy data.

Still not fluent in English, as I was trying to check the fix log, I turned my head to the presence I felt behind me.

A view of the spirit forest without anything else.

Among the deep green grass, something twinkling was looking at me.

“Ah…!”

I wonder if it’s a monster or something, so I urgently prepare for battle.

This is a normal field, not a dungeon. However, even if a monster appears, if it is at the level of a monster in the Hyunmu Forest, it is enough to catch it alone.

However, even after being prepared for battle first, he could not sense any hostility from him.

Rather than hostility, they seem to be full of curiosity.

Watching it to the end, I looked closely and saw that it was a quadrupedal creature resembling a badger.

The whole is covered with black fur, and a white stripe extending from the head to the back is conspicuous.

“This……?”

I’ve seen it on a documentary program before.

A small omnivorous creature belonging to the Carnivora Weasel family and living in Africa.

However, the reason this guy is famous was not because of his appearance.

A cobra’s natural enemy with venom, it has a terrifying fighting power that attacks the wasp nest alone and delivers complete catfish slaughter.

Overwhelming intelligence to escape the shelter using tools such as tires and dustpans.

And above all, the strong spirit that never backs down even in the fight against giant beasts such as lions and hyenas.

It’s a wild man full of gao-

“Are you a honey badger?”

* * *

“Sanwoo, did you find them all?”

Illyana arrived at the place promised in advance with Baeksanwoo. The material bag she wore diagonally was full of various alchemy materials.

With this amount, there would be no problem in teaching Sanwoo’s alchemy.

But no one was at the meeting place. I looked around, wondering if there was a misunderstanding, but I don’t even feel like I’m popular, let alone a Sanwoo.

“…?”

She moved slowly, moving in the opposite direction of hers.

The maple trees here aren’t that big.

Had a battle or unforeseen circumstance had occurred, Illyana could not have noticed.

As Iliana continued moving forward, she was able to find a place full of maple mushrooms.

Because the soil has not yet dried, the footprints of the cows are clearly visible.

Judging from the shape of the footprints, it seems that they found something while collecting a few bunches and ran after them.

“Minerva.”

“Boo.”

At her call, the owl sitting on her shoulder flapped and flew into the sky. Minerva blew up the wind and began to chase in the direction of the footsteps.

“Strange. What?”

At first I thought it was just ups and downs, but the air surrounding the forest was changing suddenly.

Although she was of mixed race, Illyana was definitely a forest race, mixed with Artel’s blood.

In addition, her mother was also a priest of the Artel tribe in the past.

For Illyana, who inherited that blood, communing with the forest was no different from breathing.

Therefore, it is much more sensitive to changes in the forest.

She trembled at the energy that began to vibrate strongly.

The forest that had been sleeping is moving. A new vitality was breathed in, and a somewhat familiar presence inhabited the entire area.

Illyana remembered something her mother had once told her.

-Illiana, do you know about the spirits of the forest?

As a priest, she and Illyana often walked through the woods, conversing with them.

The stories her mother told her back then were like something out of a fairy tale, so Illyana always liked to go for a walk.

-In the past, any forest was full of souls. Our clan communicated with them and built up our own strength.

It was a far cry from Iliana.

Before she conceived Illyana, her mother was a member of the Artel expedition that tried to resist the power of the Demon King.

– But we failed. From that day on, the soul of the forest fell into a long sleep, and our clan was scattered.

A sad history of the clan.

As a priest, at the end of each walk, she used to exhort Illyana:

-Illiana, take note. The day the soul of the forest awakens will be the day our clan will unite again.

As her mother’s voice resounded in her head, Illyana could not stand still.

“Minerva!!!”

She quickly summoned Minerva.

The energy was getting stronger. The sound of the forest awakens the blood of the sleeping clan.

Illiana ran after the sound.

“The spirit of the forest is returning!”

The spirit was waking up from a long sleep.
