chapter 21
21 – Artificial Dungeon Experience
Time passed quickly, and it was time to experience the artificial dungeon on Wednesday. It’s not real at all, but students who have packed their bags are huddled together in front of the dungeon entrance as if they were going on a field trip.
“Hey. What snacks did you bring?”
“Are you on a f*cking picnic? I’m dying of nervousness.”
No matter how artificial the dungeon is, he is still 17 years old. Anyway, right now I don’t have enough time to think about other people’s circumstances.
Let’s briefly recall the development.
2 Hours and 22 minutes after entering the dungeon, the gate opens and turns into a real dungeon. And that night, Yoo Eun-jo Choi clears the dungeon by catching the boss to the end.
In other words, while quietly burying, when Choi Yoo-eun catches the boss, all you have to do is take the experience points with the black sword. I hope it goes as planned.
“Anyway, Delaon students are so scared. As it is an artificial dungeon, it is much safer and easier than a dungeon!”
Choi Seok, a rock wizard and class E teacher, shouted as if he was scolded.
“Everyone stop complaining. Gather together and stand in a row of 3!!”
I want to say that the gate will open later and the sale will be ruined, like a chimney.
Team 1 of Class B.
As the flow of the original work, Kim So-hee and Kim Ha-rin are paired up. However, the way both of them look at me is quite different from the original.
“Hmm. Is this the same group as the class president? That’s great. This time I won’t make the same mistake as last time.”
Sohee, who was full of strength, and Harin greeted us with her bright face.
122Nd in all first grade rankings. Harin Kim.
His waist-length brown hair. According to the setting, he is Sohee’s best friend.
He said during the story, the dormitory room was close, so he got entangled like this and became close. Not particularly important information. On the contrary, if I mentioned this, it would be perfect to be cornered as a strange person.
The important information is that the attribute is water. Sohee’s attribute is ice. The synergy between the two will be great.
“Sohee in 22nd place and me in 122nd place. And the class president in 222nd place. Isn’t it funny? How did they fall so well together?”
“What. The teacher set the balance right for a group of 3?”
Sohee looked at me after looking at her luggage once more.
“Isn’t the class president nervous?”
“It’s more complicated in my head than nervous.”
To think I had to enter a dungeon that was going to be sold out soon. Is this what it means to jump into a pit of fire?
“It’s an artificial dungeon, but for us, it’s no different from a real dungeon.”
[Leadership has been activated.]
“A group of three. Is it okay if I become the leader and command the two?”
“Rather, I wanted to ask from my side.”
“Of course! If not the class president, who would do it?”
In the original work, he was a typical sweet potato protagonist who was pushed by the two and swung a knife from behind. However, things are different now.
An artificial dungeon entrance.
Numerous courses are listed from A to Z. This time, I decided to ask the two people’s opinions because it doesn’t matter much where I choose.
“How about the i course? Lucky i!”
Isn’t Luck Luck? So-hee asked if he was thinking the same thing as me. Then, Harin cleared his throat.
“Ugh. Hmm. I’m going to the lucky L course.”
She took the lead.
“Sorry. As you can see, he’s a bit clumsy. But he does it when he does…”
“It looks nice, but what? Let’s follow along.”
“Ah. Yes.”
After walking for about 10 minutes through the entrance, a meadow appeared. It is not an ordinary wild mountain meadow, but a grassland where danger lurks like the Amazon.
Sohee immediately used detection magic.
“Nothing found. Be careful though. There might be an ambush golem.”
[You have activated the Eye of the Sky.]
You can see things wriggling and moving around the ground. According to the original story, the beasts in the first room were four ambush earth golems.
Then I moved my gaze and checked the micro cameras installed throughout the dungeon. It’s so small that I wouldn’t have seen it without my blue eyes. That’s how we measure team play scores and individual scores. Although the gate opens and becomes useless.
I told Harin to spray it around the meadow like watering flowers. It would be a little strange to say that he discovered the Witchbeast with the eyes of the sky.
“I have to beat the stone bridge before going. It’s strange that the Witchbeast didn’t even try.”
I added a plausible reason.
Shoot ah-
She shoots water streams here and there. She naturally led them to the place where the earth golem was ambushed.
Gugugung.
Okay. Appeared
“Now, guys. Get ready.”
***
Inside the artificial dungeon situation room.
The teachers are gathering and checking the inside of the dungeon with the manager through CCTV.
“Are there 3 ambush earth golems in Room 1?”
“It’s the 4th to be exact.”
At the question of the manager of class A, Bo-ram from class B took out the dungeon manual and read it.
“Next, the alligators in room 2, and the steel golem in room 3…”
“You’re very deliberate. There’s nothing malicious about it.”
“Yes?”
Boram, not understanding what he meant, asked again. Then the class C teacher next to me grumbled and explained instead.
“Teacher is true. An artificial dungeon and a real dungeon. You know the biggest difference between the two, don’t you?”
“Isn’t it a big difference that people made it…”
“I know that well. Then, saying that there is no evil means the dungeon and the arrangement of the monsters.”
“Oh… Well.”
After hearing her words, she looked at the dungeon manual again. Now it looks fine
It’s not difficult to defeat the earth golem in room 1, but if you do it wrong, it’ll be covered with mud and it’s annoying to clean up. And in the second room, where the river flows, there are crocodile beasts lurking.
“If you try to wash the soil from your clothes with river water, you will be beaten by crocodile beasts.”
“…”
A human touch might be more dangerous than a natural dungeon.
“Aagh!”
Students being attacked by crocodiles soon caught my eye on the screen.
“Uhh. You can’t even notice obvious traps and end up like that. It doesn’t matter if I give them all 0 points, right?”
“Yes. It should be.”
The general manager recorded the score on the report with a bitter expression. I hope our classmates are doing well. Just in time, he sees Choi Yoo-eun’s group.
“Let’s see? What about the group that ranks first in the school rankings?”
The C class teacher looked closely at Yueun’s group with a look full of expectations. Assuming that the golem in Room 1 may be ambushed, she has another student slam a rock into the ground.
Gugung…
In response, a golem appeared, but it was soon swept away by Yueun’s flames.
“It’s great. It’s cool.”
Class C’s teacher clapped lightly with her satisfied face. She then broke through to Room 2 without any problems.
“If we do this well, it might be much faster than the three of us did.”
And unintentionally, I found Kim Yi-do, who stood out because he was holding a sword. She just tried to ignore it, but it seems to have caught the attention of Class A’s manager.
“Choi Yoo-eun’s team was definitely great, but I couldn’t see the teamwork. Maybe it’s because Yoo-eun is strong. Let’s take a look at Lee-do’s group. Since she’s the class president, she seems to have leadership skills…”
“How did a guy like that become class president?”
I thought to myself as I looked at the class C teacher who was not trustworthy. Hey Ido, flatten her nose by showing off your cool side.
Luckily, I didn’t get caught in an ambush trap and confronted the golem as expected.
“He’s a bit of an asshole.”
-Come on guys. Get ready.
Everyone prepares for battle according to the command of the class president. The first attack is Harin’s water attack, and the golems are drenched beautifully.
After that, as if they had been waiting for it, Ido and Sohee froze the golem with ice magic.
“Class B’s president, I knew that your attributes were unknown. Now you’re using ice magic, right?”
“Yes. Manager! Lee Do is also working hard in his own way.”
“Still, it looks like we still have a long way to go. At best, it looks like you’re dealing with basic magic.”
It was when the C class teacher was staring at me with an amused look. He swung his twin swords wide and knocked down three golems at once.
“Oh…”
Involuntarily, admiration came out, but he pretended not to and cleared his throat. The manager also did not hesitate to praise him while writing the report.
“All three of them are in perfect harmony. One thing to pay special attention to is Kim Yi-do’s command… I think I know a little about how he became class president.”
In the room where the second crocodiles live, he told Sohee to freeze the river. He stabs the popping crocodiles with a knife and destroys them one by one.
– Mmm. It feels strangely like fishing in a stream.
-Poop. I know.
The atmosphere in the team is also quite good. Boram smiled softly.
“Room number 3 is finally a named room.”
“Yes. It’s time for the steel golem to appear.”
The teacher of Class A calmly looked at the students heading to Room 3.
On the other hand, the C class teacher started to explain the guy’s ferocity.
“It is said that they caught an earth golem for practice in preparation for a steel golem, but the two are on a different level. There is a big gap between grade C and B.”
With a smile.
“Again, is that all? The size is so big that you can think of some kind of building walking around. The material is also steel and earth. You don’t have to say anything about it.”
“Heh heh. If you just listen to the C class teacher, it seems that he wants the students to fail.”
“It’s my hope that these idiots disappear quickly.”
***
Rooms 1 and 2 were passable enough to cause a real yawn. Now, the long-awaited room number 3. As in the original, a steel golem appears.
“Everybody’s been studying about steel golems, right?”
“Yeah! It’s three times bigger than the earth golem, and its attributes are steel. Its weak attributes are fire and ice.”
Harin looked at us with her fists clenched.
“It will be much easier since we have two ice attribute wizards, right?”
“Yeah. It won’t be a big deal.”
The problem isn’t in room 3, it’s the King Steel Golem in the boss room after the gate opens. After all, Choi Yoo-eun handles it, so there will be no problems?
Diring!
It was then. Along with a voice that only I could hear, a quest window that only I could see appeared.
[Hidden Quest Appears!]
[Boss Monster – Defeat the Transformed King Steel Golem!]
[Reward: Magic talent level up.]
[Warning! A stronger gate appears than the original, making the boss more dangerous. To the extent that Choi Yoo-eun couldn’t handle it.]
“Oh.”
