There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 58

20. No lightning strikes on Mt. Cheongong (3)

Kururu, bang!! Quickly!

A boulder with a weight that is likely to be swept away when it is crushed sprints at a tremendous speed.

The scene in front of him, whether it was a tree or a rock like a rock, was a horror in itself.

“Aww, crazy!!”

It’s already halfway down, so you can’t go up again or fall to the side.

No matter how hard they tried, it didn’t seem easy to escape from the huge threat that was approaching.

‘Are random encounters activated on the Hassan Road?!’

The effort I had been working on as a jumping climber went to waste in an instant.

It wasn’t that the encounter didn’t activate when descending, but I knew the odds were extremely low compared to going up the mountain trail.

“X feet!”

Even just looking at it with the naked eye, the distance from the rock was less than tens of meters.

It never occurred to me that I would be able to safely descend the mountain before the rock crushed me.

Even though it’s an unexpected encounter, it’s not a foul to not prepare for it.

“Lioner! Can you break that much!?”

【I, I don’t know about that either.】

Even Lioner seemed to be embarrassed by the unexpected situation.

“Then what do you do?!”

I didn’t stop my legs. One, maybe it was because I was too hasty.

puck.

“Aww!!”

He couldn’t control his speed and tripped over a stone beak.

As I almost fell, I barely managed to stop by crawling on the floor.

Red blood gushed out of the wound that had been rubbed on the ground.

【Are you okay?】

Lioner asked worriedly, but this wasn’t the time when he was just suffering from a wound.

I turned my head and looked at the rock.

It only takes a few tens of seconds before the huge mass rushes in.

‘Is there no way?!’

As I looked around quickly, a stone pagoda erected at an angle caught my eye.

It was the structure I saw when I climbed it using a jumping climber.

middle chin. middle chin. halfway… … halfway?

I suddenly remembered the experience of climbing Mt. Cheongong in the game, and I literally threw myself down the straight downhill road.

[Baeksanwoo! What are you doing!]

“Anyway, you have to get down to see the real battle!!!”

His arms and legs were scratched by the hard rocks and dirt. Every time he rolled on the hard floor, his bones screamed.

But the more I did, the more round I made my body.

It turns into an armadillo and rolls down a solid mountain.

“Aaa-!!!”

bang!!

Soon, with a huge shock, his body floated into the air and then fell.

It looked like it had hit a tree.

“Cuckoo!!”

It really hurt. It was the most painful pain since I was drawn into this game.

He protected his spine, but probably broke an arm or a leg bone or two.

But whatever it is, it’s better than dying.

I turned my stiff neck to look at the rock.

It was after the momentum of the previous moment had disappeared, and the heavy rock had completely stopped moving.

No, to be precise, it was going backwards.

It is as if time is rewinding. The rock that was pushed up about 10m started spinning again and fell down.

and went up again.

Looking at the so unnatural movement, I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sung, it’s a success…”

One of the chronic bugs that follow with an almost 100% chance of encountering a rockfall.

Infinite Rockfall Bug.

As if to prove that fact, a console window pops up in front of you.

『Bug occurrence / Physics engine error ERROR CODE: 432C』

* * *

“Ugh!!!”

Kwagwang!!!

The rock was shattered with a loud cheer.

Gray shards are scattered all over the place, and the heavy lumps are sank to the floor shortly after.

Then, as if waiting, a correction message was displayed.

[The bug has been fixed.]

[Fixed bugs: 1]

“Wow~!!! I almost fell behind. It’s the first time I’ve been so scared since I came here.”

I stick my tongue out and climb up the slope to retrieve Aradwa.

It was really good to bring a recovery potion in advance.

With Illyanase Recovery Potion and adequate rest, fatal injuries were somehow avoided.

【Did you know the twists of the world in advance?】

“It’s similar. Usually, you can’t roll down the chin.”

What will happen to the people who live under Mt. Cheongong if the encounter of the falling stoneware is triggered from time to time?

Due to such circumstances, it is said that rockfalls or landslides caused by encounters were made to affect only the halfway point.

However, I was afraid that someone was not a bug X mangem, so bugs were often caught.

It was an encounter avoidance method that was considered a kind of rule for players climbing Mt. Cheongong.

“By the way, Arad and this have tremendous destructive power?”

Raven Harpiya, even though it was a mid-level monster, he didn’t know that he could crush a huge rock with one blow.

I was expecting it to split in a very cracked state at best.

“It’s enough as a weapon for the Daeboss decisive battle!”

At least in the early dungeons, I could see that it had enough destructive power to make OneCom even with my specs.

If you’re lucky enough to match the match, you’ll be able to try the mid-dungeon as well.

“This is the right possession.”

Although the experience of being chased by a huge rock was not pleasant at all.

Looking at the results, I was quite satisfied.

‘Then what item should I farm next?’

The gloves were fine as a gift from Camilla, and the Arsronga Steel Sword, which he is using as his main weapon, was not a bad choice during his freshman year.

The accessories are also in the state of wearing the tears of the hero and Aaron’s gold ring.

Additionally, Aradwara has secured a morale-level secondary weapon, now it’s time to focus on armor and armor.

“Hmm…”

All threats have been removed, and the Lioner made a suggestion, as he was thinking about it comfortably.

【How about dungeon attack? Most of the heroes of the past also obtained useful equipment from the Demon King’s dungeon.]

“That’s not bad.”

By clearing the introductory dungeon to Hisperiph in the first place, the entry restrictions for most beginner dungeons were lifted.

If you want to attack the dungeon, you can do it at any time.

“Slowly, I need to strengthen the friendship of the club. I’ll have to gather a few people and organize an expedition.”

The dungeons that immediately came to mind are ‘Keldujagal Dungeon’ and ‘Golden Mine’ near Nostalgia.

In both cases, the bosses are not very strong, and the rewards are quite salty, so they are responsible for the early dungeon hit and run.

Also, in the Golden Mine, you can sometimes receive ancient earth fairy armor as a reward, so it might not be bad for the first party expedition… … ?

Contrary to the name of the mine, the structure is not that complicated.

【Golden Mine? It looks like it’s still there.]

As I briefly recalled the characteristics of the dungeon, the Lioner who read my thoughts said:

【I’ve been with a former contractor once. I killed the ‘Prince of the Fallen Land Fairy’ there.]

“The prince of the fallen land fairy?”

[The first prince of the ancient land fairy kingdom El Dorado. Leading the land fairy corps, they set foot on Paradise Island hastily, but they were eroded by magic.]

I never dreamed that there was such a back story in the beginner dungeon, the Golden Mine.

【Because when our expedition arrived, we had already lost our hearts and became one of the Demon King’s families. I don’t even know what happened in the meantime.]

“That’s right.”

The Fallen Land Fairy was one of the monsters that appeared mainly in the lonely fortress located in the western part of Paradise Island.

I remembered one of the lines of the dungeon boss, ‘Captain Hugo’.

‘At the end of the day, I shouted that I was a prince. At that time, I thought it was some kind of bullshit.’

As it was the same fallen land fairy, there was a certain amount of connection.

“But there will be no corrupted land elves in the gold mine. I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

【Of course. Because I wiped it all away.]

Lioner shrugged as if telling the obvious.

【Then the next destination is the gold mine?】

“Perhaps. It’s time to convene the club soon. I’ll have to ask tomorrow.”

I nodded leisurely and continued down the mountain.

Even the scenery where only rocks were visible is gradually turning green, and even looking at it, you can feel the altitude lowered.

The moment you finally set foot on the lush soil.

It felt like my legs were losing strength.

Will you meet a Raven Harpy or an unexpected rockfall?

There were many things that happened, but… … .

“Mission cleared!”

I shouted, pulling Aradwa from my back.

* * *

A manor dormitory dedicated to Artel.

The breath of the world tree.

“Illiana!!”

Illiana, who was making potions at the table in one corner, turned her head at the voice calling for her urgently.

The main character of the voice was Marily Hart, a dorm student and a pure-blooded Artel.

Marily approached with her characteristic light green hair fluttering.

“You know that you’re going on a club expedition tomorrow, right?”

At those words, Illyana nodded, as if recalling what she had forgotten.

“ah…….”

“Ig, you forgot again.”

“sorry.”

“Well, it’s not once or twice that Illyana does that.”

Artel and half-artel did not mix well, but Illyana was able to easily infiltrate Artel society thanks to her special bloodline.

Because of this, she was currently a member of ‘Yggdrasil’, a club that only Artel can join.

“They said it was decided to be a gold mine. I’m going to take a tour of the new Artel kids this time.”

“I see.”

Illyana was always sarcastic, but Marily didn’t give in to him and continued to chatter.

He was an unusual friend among the Artel races, who are generally reticent and quiet.

“The president took care of you. He said that you still have to gather ore.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Can’t we just go on a light expedition and collect it?”

Illyana thought for a moment.

Yggdrasil was a club for the purpose of friendship on a racial basis, as was its closed character.

Therefore, he often went out on dungeon expeditions in this way.

It was to commemorate the will of Freya, an old Artel hero and legendary adventurer who participated in the Daejeon 300 years ago.

However, since the number of Artel students is quite large, not all members of the club can participate in the expedition.

So, in a normal case, an expedition consisting of 6 to 8 people was formed and dispatched individually.

And the leader of this expedition was none other than Iliana.

As a half-artel and a member of Yggdrasil, it was my duty to participate… … .

Still, there is nothing to be done about the pouring annoyance.

“If you forcefully remove it this time, the president will keep it and treasure it.”

“If it’s a gold mine, that’s fine.”

“Okay, well thought out. This time I’ll follow you too! I’m going on a date with Illyana after a long time!”

Marily said as she hugged Illyana eagerly.

Even Illiana, who was initially timid, was now only accepted as an expression of intimacy.

“But why doesn’t the Lioner’s contractor come these days? For a while, he came every day, and for a few days, he didn’t see him.”

“I don’t know. You must be busy.”

“Hey… I heard there was a contest too. Linell unnie also participated and got 2nd place.”

Illyana wasn’t the kind of person who cared much about other people’s lives from the beginning.

However, he is curious about Baek San-woo.

It was partly because of Lionor’s status as a contractor, but apart from that, there was something about the boy that attracted Illyana.

Exactly what it is, although Illyana herself does not know it well.

“Anyway, prepare well for tomorrow’s expedition! I’ll leave the kids list here!”

Marily placed a piece of paper on the table with a lively smile.

[Yggdrasil Dungeon Expedition Plan]

[Location: Gold Mine Area B]

[Director: Illyana Noel]

[Participant: Sigurd, Marily Hart… … ]

“Ugh.”

Illyana glanced at the paperwork and turned back to the potion making area.

rather good

It was because the mountain cows had to collect various minerals in advance as much as they had advanced to the advanced level.

In that sense, the Golden Mine is the perfect dungeon to obtain special alchemy materials.

“I’ll have to bring a large gathering bag.”

Looking at the potion boiling on the crafting table, Illyana murmured.
