Academy Student With 999 Speed

2 – Face to face (2) [R]

One of the main areas in ‘Arhan’s Life’ is the gym.

Basically, because of the worldview setting that everyone has status and characteristics, they are distributed as much as the number of Korean PC rooms in the original world.

Therefore, even in most local gyms, there are high-end facilities for characteristic training or acquisition of skills.

Among them, there is a special reason why I chose a private room.

“I don’t want to embarrass others because of my clumsy body movements, but…”

It’s because of [Stamina Recovery], Which is an additional function in the private room.

Currently, the situation of my body is not that good.

At first glance, he has no muscles, a body that doesn’t seem to have exercised often, and has poor physical stats.

Moreover, all my corrections are applied only to the speed stat, so I have to work with stamina, which is pure garbage itself that cannot receive any corrections.

I assure you, if you train in a state where you don’t have the ability to recover, you’re confident that you won’t be able to last even 5 minutes.

Anyway, apart from that, I have to test this body.

Unlike the game, I am now in a position where I have to fight by moving my body.

I have to figure out how much power I have and whether I can get used to fighting.

First of all, after lightly stretching and warming up, the field in the private room was activated.

At the same time, the space begins to expand widely.

The way to quickly and intuitively check the stat of my speed of 999 is simple.

You just have to try sprinting once.

“How much is the highest I can pay with my condition… Let’s try it.”

Spreading both legs and taking a stance, I immediately ran out like a track and field sprinter.

Blame.

“…….!!!”

And the moment I took a step, I could feel that I was speeding up to a level different from my usual walking speed.

The speed at which the surrounding scenery moves is different.

It seems like I can’t concentrate because I’m running so fast, but I get a strange feeling as if the scenery around me slowly comes into my field of vision.

Just like that, as you run forward step by step, you are about to accelerate more and more.

“Keugh…….”

Just like that, my feet got twisted and I fell unsightly.

At the same time, the sight gradually returns to its original state.

“Ha ha… Ha ha…”

Somehow, since he moved so rapidly, it seemed that his body was repulsive.

My body collapsed without being able to properly keep up with the high speed.

Looking back while sitting down, I can see the starting point from which I started running in the distance.

I can’t believe I covered this distance in just a few seconds.

“Is this… A feeling…?”

Ambiguous.

Up until now, it seems that the galpi is almost out of hand.

I felt like I would have to try a few more times to get it right.

“It’s okay… There’s still time left. Stamina fills up quickly, so it’s worth trying.”

So, the ignorant sprint to measure my limits began.

Fall down countless times,

I couldn’t control my speed, so I crashed into the wall,

The result of repeating while barely enduring that I almost collapsed in the middle because I used up my stamina.

“…Whoop…!!!”

Now I can step more or less naturally.

At least the number of unsightly falls or cases of pick down due to lack of control over stamina has greatly decreased.

“Okay… I’ve got a bit of a sense now… Hmmm… It’s going to take a little longer to get used to than I thought…?”

The problem is that it only stopped at the level of running.

It is not even close to the top speed of 999 I thought, and there are not one or two problems to fix, such as changing direction in the middle of a run.

I think this is more likely to be a problem with the head than the body.

Although the body itself was accustomed to fast movements,

It is still adapting to the new body, and the head cannot keep up with the visual information coming into the eyes while running at high speed.

Of course, this is a matter of adaptation, so it just takes time.

Anyway, you can’t just keep running all week, can you?

For now, I stopped running and started preparing for other training areas.

“Because it’s the first day… It’s probably better to grab a weapon that you’ll be using from now on.”

Actually, from the time I created this character, Ga-Sok Kim, I had thought about what kind of weapon to use.

The weapon I chose was the [Gauntlet].

[Gym Gauntlet]

[In order to prevent excessive losses inside designated gyms, it is a high-end equipment equipped to greatly reduce damage except for certain targets.]

First of all, the weapon must be a weapon that can maximize speed.

Of course, in the direction of saving the significance of the existence of this character, the one-tool for speed.

There are a lot of options out there, but if I add the element that I have to move my body myself, quite a lot of options are left out.

First of all, bows are excluded.

If you practice a bow you’ve never held before for just a week, you won’t be able to handle it well.

For the same reason, long swords, two-handed swords, and one-handed swords are excluded.

Heavy things like long swords and two-handed swords rather halve the power of speed, and besides, I’m a guy who can’t even handle kitchen knives properly.

Even if I say I can handle it well in the first place, if you pick up a sword and ask me if I can really cut a monster or a person with it, I’d honestly say NO as a squeamish sensibility.

That’s why I chose the gauntlet as a weapon with a level of difficulty that could be easily handled without the auxiliary effects of attributes.

It is a striking system that has a wide impact area and enough damage even with a rough swing, and it can be worn tightly wrapped around the hand, so there is no mishap such as missing a weapon.

When it comes to fighting, it’s a perfect weapon for me, a beginner at all.

“The biggest problem…Is that we can only fight in close combat…”

No matter how fast it is, it would be reckless to attempt close combat with only the physical strength that would knock you out if you brushed against it.

For that reason, I initially purchased insurance through the protection of Poongwol, but it is true that I am uneasy.

Therefore, I tried to overcome this disadvantage through other characteristics.

[Acceleration]

[Active]

[Instantly accelerates the body, making it possible to ignore a certain amount of damage received for 0.1 Seconds and the recoil applied to the body. Negligible damage and recoil increase in proportion to the speed stat.]

[The cooldown is directly proportional to the speed stat coefficient.]

This characteristic of acceleration.

If you can’t get a sense of what it is just after hearing the explanation, you can think of it as a dash that has some invincibility, which is common in roguelike games.

While using acceleration, the physical force in my body is maintained as it is, and it is possible to use it for an attack because it does not even receive the recoil when using high speed for an attack.

Actively using this, I was able to create the strongest combination in theory, clearing without getting hit even once.

But.

Despite having all these advantages.

I couldn’t possibly have confidence in my battle.

The fact that what I am playing right now is not a game, but another ‘me’ that has become reality.

“…….”

The cool feeling of the gauntlets worn on both hands further highlighted that fact.

Will I be able to trust myself?

Will I be able to truly believe in myself, risk my life, and fight a risky battle where I can avoid it with just one point difference?

All the negative thoughts I had when I first possessed began to surface again.

However, such a negative mindset can make anything go wrong.

So, I needed an opportunity to give me confidence.

“You’re tired of escaping from reality now. Let’s accept it soon.”

Move your hands and start manipulating the training field.

Then, blue spears began to appear before my eyes.

Among them, I summoned a dummy monster that allows you to experience a simulated battle with a real monster.

“Hound dog. The risk level is one level higher than the lowest level…”

A blue portal opened for a while, and a [Hound dog pile] Appeared that looked like a shepherd, but was more ferocious and darker than that.

“Keureuk….. Kreuuu…..”

“…Ugh…”

My body has already started to hesitate at the intimidation from the guy’s figure and the growling sound of crying.

Hound Dog.

Commonly playing the role of slime in RPG games.

Although its individual performance is low, it can be said to be the weakest monster in the world in this game that covers it with its population.

Even though I knew that the risk level was low and that it was only a dummy, the sight of the monster I actually saw made me shrink.

Scary.

The fact that I had to fight monsters like that… No, even monsters worse than that, scared me.

If it were me in the past, I would have run away without looking back as soon as I ran into it.

Even so, I grabbed his trembling hand and punched me hard on the cheek.

“Hold on tight… It’s not a matter of being able to do it. It’s something you have to do. If you want to survive in this world from now on, you can’t stop here.”

This is the first step towards a further journey ahead.

There is no time to linger here.

For the remaining time, you have to get used to it as much as possible.

After the mental preparation was over, he immediately opened his mouth to announce the start of the battle.

“… The battle begins.”

“Kreurreuk……”

Hound dog looking at me at the start.

I hesitated again at the look in his eyes, but I immediately charged him first.

[Upgrade] That activates when he and I recognize each other as enemies and enter a battle situation.

Thanks to that, I felt a little stronger as my stats went up.

Thanks to that, I punched the guy who was still slow to respond.

Peruk.

“Kreukreuk…!!!”

“Damn it…!!!”

But it was shallow.

I didn’t feel as heavy as when I hit the sandbag.

If you think about it again, it couldn’t be a proper attack because you didn’t even know how to put weight on your fist.

But that’s not what’s important.

“Enough, I can fight…!”

Although it was sloppy, I was able to feed it an attack.

Although it looked unsightly, I was able to avoid his counterattack.

I could feel myself getting hotter just by the fact that we continued to fight.

It was as if the joy and passion I had when I first encountered the game came back.

I was lost in the afterglow for a while, and the hound dog continued to attack me.

Shuuk.

Huiik.

After avoiding the guy rushing at you several times, when you got the timing right,

“I can’t just keep avoiding it…. G…!!!!”

A counter punch that uses the guy’s rush as it is to feed it.

My hands were a little tingly, but unlike before, it felt like the punch had been properly and heavily punched.

You can fight.

You can beat him.

If you want to end it, now is your chance. The time has come to use your talents for the first time.

“This is the end… [Acceleration]…!”

Toward the hesitant one, use the attribute to quickly charge.

In an instant, the acceleration accelerated rapidly, and the distance he had opened with him quickly narrowed.

Now, the distance between them is only five steps.

A final blow that puts my everything on the guy who is hesitant after being attacked.

The right hand, which ran faster than before, was feeding the gauntlet straight to the guy…!

Failed.

…….

………Huh?

“aaah…!!!”

I was awakened by the belated pain.

I didn’t even pay attention to the speed at which [Acceleration] Increased by itself, and then I ended up going over the limit of the speed I could control.

The cost was devastating.

The gauntlet passed her and got stuck in the wall, and the time to reduce her damage had already passed, so I took all the damage from her.

Thanks to that, she consumed all of her stamina values obtained from her upward correction, and even her stamina was exhausted, leaving her little strength to move.

“Kurrureuk…..”

“Hey, hey… Friend? Why don’t you calm down for a moment…? hahahaha…”

As expected, the hound dog looked at me and growled.

Just looking at it, it doesn’t look good.

My wild thoughts.

With anxious eyes.

You are watching it…

That’s probably……

f*cked.

“Here, wait…! Time! Time…!!!! aaah!! Stop it… Stop the violence…!!!!”

If you want to live, run with all your might.
