Gate of Amitilicia Online

Go home after work and log into GAO. No, yesterday was a failure. I had a lot to do. No, considering why I started this game, maybe it's a success.

In the meantime, just buy the tiocri chicken I ate yesterday and walk around the city eating. Are the players and thinkers who go out already used to walking and running with Swiss without worrying about the town? Maybe I will, too, but now I want to see and hear about this other city and feel it on my skin. But I want to be ready to get out on the field, so I decided to head to the arena for now.

The arena, as its name suggests, is a place to spectacle the battle. Naturally players are also available. I've looked into it, and they can fight warriors belonging to the arena, or against beasts and demons. If you win, you'll get paid. You also think you can gamble as an audience and bet who wins?

but this time, there's nothing for the arena itself. The purpose is next door.

Surrounded by wooden fences, there were plenty of player-like people there. On the entrance, on the boards raised overhead, there is a painting with swords and canes crossed by shields and the letter 'Voluntary Training Ground'.

This is where you test your combat skills. It is also a place to test the effects of magic and weapons. We use this place because there are dangers in the fields where monsters gush.

It has a particular significance for beginners, and it seems a good idea to have some idea of how to fight here before going outside.

By the way, the training here goes in exactly as well as the experience. However, it's usually more efficient to fight on the field, so no one here will make a prolonged skill increase. There is a royalty fee.

I'll get the reception done at an office like the one near the entrance and pay 100 pedia.

"If you don't know anything, don't hesitate to let me know"

"In the meantime, I'd like to practice fighting and magic, but can we do it in the same place?

"Please use each location as the area is largely close combat, shooting and throwing weapons, and magic from in front of you"

Thank you to the blonde shortcut girl who politely taught me to go to the melee area first. There is a pile of wood stabbed about two meters high and fifty centimeters thick on the ground, and the player is waving his weapon at it.

"Are you using wooden or blade-drawn weapons for training? It looks like a metal strike weapon is intact."

The pile for the target is not free, is it? Some people are working on replacing worn piles.

I decide to take a tour and try my skills. Enter the empty place and stand in front of the pile. Yeah, I miss it somehow. Reminds me of the straw in the garden of my grandfather's house in the countryside.

First, I made a fist out of one shot, and hit the pile lightly. I have a definite response. Go on. One more shot, now I'm serious about hitting it. but the pain runs in my fist.

"Well... it's obvious."

Naked fists. Without any protection, I'm not even working out. Though, pain is insignificant, and it seems true that pain is suppressed more than real. In fact, it was much less painful than a wall pan in real life. Or is it because of [procedure] skills?

Now I hit the pile with a clap. Full force without a clue. Pain in your hands is less than when you fist.

If the level rises, will you be able to crush rocks with your fists as well? I think it would be funny if I did, but keep hitting him with the clapping as my main focus. Sometimes, with a kick.

As far as weapons are concerned, they can be used even without skills. However, it doesn't really benefit me because I don't have a hit or damage correction due to my skills. This is also true for martial arts skills, and punches and kicks can be used if you don't mind correcting even if you don't have the skills. It's the same people who haven't learned martial arts can get their hands or feet out in a fight.

"The procedure? That's unusual."

As I kept piling, I heard voices like that. When I stopped my hand and looked at you, there was one man. He's a middle-aged man equipped with only a leather chest armor, and he's looking at this one with his arms together.

"Is it unusual?

Rest your hands, I'll ask. Oh, and the man nodded.

"Most people use weapons. Still, how much footwork did it cost, but the guy using the procedure fills up to ten these days here"

I see, I think. No matter how many games, there will be resistance to bare hands relative to monsters. There's a difference in reach, and it's not weird that some of them have contact poison. Like right now, I guess fighting isn't popular, even considering that if I hit him, he would have a firm fist rebellion.

Yeah, if that's what you think, undead system, I don't want to beat you up if that's a zombie kind of thing too...

"... is it an affair, fighting?"

"There's a long time and a short time for everything. Well, unlike weapons, you don't have to worry about durability."

Say it. The man looks at my hand.

Weapons, protective equipment, and tools in this world have endurance values. Beyond its limits, it breaks and becomes useless. In order to prevent it, it is necessary to restore the endurance value of the weapon. Repair of NPC blacksmiths and blacksmith skilled players makes that possible. Naturally, costs are incurred. It would be that much more expensive if it were a high-performance weapon.

In that regard, your hands and feet may be injured, but if treated, that's it. That would be beneficial because some means do not cost you money. Not a big one though.

"Still, there are weapons for fist protection. I don't have many stores to deal with, but you can look for them."

"Thank you. And you, by the way?

Asking in gratitude for his advice, the man untied the arm he was putting together, thumbing up his right hand and pointing to the left breast of his chest armor. What was there was a crest with swords and canes crossed before the shield. Same as what was on the sign at the entrance to this training ground.

"I'm Perkins. He's one of the instructors at this voluntary training ground. You should feel free to call me if anything happens. I'll teach you everything I know."

Oh, was that an NPC that would do something like a tutorial?

"Thank you. By the way, is the professor of magic okay with you, sir?

Now that I know the general guidelines for fighting, I've decided to try to train you on magic.

"Oh. Not that I can use it myself, but I can give advice to users without any problems. Magic training is supposed to be used there."

That said, Mr. Perkins walked away, so I decided to follow him afterwards.

Speaking of which, I didn't hear your name.

"It's called Fist, my lord instructor."

I am in a position to ask for teaching, so I decided to adopt that attitude. Though it may be evil.

Mr. Perkins, on the other hand, does not blame it in particular, but goes on to say that Fist, then.

"What magic do you remember now?

"I'm mastering spiritual magic"

"Are you a spiritual user? If so, what are the weaknesses of spiritual magic?

"Yes, it cannot be exercised without the Spirit"

The Spirit Magic of this game is exercised with the help of the Spirit. I mean, you can't use magic without the Spirit.

For example, this training ground is dirt, so there is a dirt spirit. There are spirits of the wind because it is outdoors that are not even covered by walls or roofs. I have the Spirit of Fire because I am burning used piles. There are spirits of water because there are things like ponds.

So the magic of the four basic spirits can be used without problems. Perhaps for training purposes, they are prepared so that all spiritual magic can be used.

"That's right. Spirit magic cannot be used in places without spirits. If you can get it with Spirit Stone, you won't have to worry about it, but it's limited."

"Spirit Stone, is it?

It's a name we hear a lot about in fantasy, but naturally its role varies from title to title. Spirit stones in this world would be items that have a role in the exercise of spiritual magic to observe from the stream.

"It's a stone that can temporarily store spirits. Hard to see valuables, but if you're lucky, there will be opportunities to get them. Come on, here it is."

Mr. Perkins stopped his leg. There's a lot of space in front of me. It's the same pile of wood standing by the way.

"Try your magic on that pile first."

As they say, target the indicated pile and appeal to the Spirit of the Wind. Spirit magic doesn't have a determined chant. Language skills [Spiritual Language] are added when you have completed [Spiritual Magic], a form that you use to ask the Spirit. With proficiency, they start to activate even keyword words.

The wind wrapped around a thin green light and headed straight to the pile, hitting it. That part has a rift, like it was slashed with a sword. Spirit Magic Basic magic available on one level, windcutter magic was safe and successful.

"All spiritual magic is the same, but the higher the level, the more advanced the exercise will be possible. If the current wind cutter can be released more than one shot, it will also be possible to operate as a more sharp blade. It all depends on your imagination."

"Imagination, is it?

I think they said something strange. If the level rises, I'll learn more advanced magic, isn't that a mistake? If you think so and ask,

"What are you talking about? The effect of Spirit Magic is only if it benefits the Spirit. How you can get the Spirit to do what you want is key to proficiency."

and so on. In other words, would you say that the magical effect depends on your idea and the power of the Spirit to actually reproduce it?

"Therefore, even if there were spiritual uses of the same power as you are today, the number of magic that can be used is not always with you"

... this is also... what a difficult story. That means we can make as much magic as we want depending on the idea. More can be done by the Spirit, to be precise.

But this is also an interesting element. If you care about that, it means you'll be able to use countless magic on even one level. Naturally, though I wouldn't want many effects while remaining at a low level. I mean, what kind of system is this?

"Hmmm...... so how about this?

I'll call on the Spirit of the Wind to convey my image. Well, whether it works or not...

"Master Instructor, could you please throw a light stone over here for a moment?

"A stone? Come on."

The surprising look that only floated for a moment quickly turned into something fun, and Mr. Perkins picked up the pebble at his feet and gently let it go this way.

The stone falls to the ground without hitting me, like it hit an invisible wall.

Success. A wall of defense by the wind. That was the magic I just tried.

but the next moment, the stone hit my body. Even though the effect of the wind wall remains persistent.

"You're still struggling with strength."

That's what I'm saying, Mr. Perkins, stoned in the palm of his hand. We threw another stone, not lightly this time, but heavily. The wall of wind could not hold it back.

"But the idea is good. Yeah, like right now, think about what you can do first. That's what you can do."

"Yes, thank you, Master Instructor"

This advice was honestly helpful. If I hadn't known, I would have continued to use all the initial magic of windcutters, etc. And it was the power that increased it could not use any other magic and could only be used in a very narrow way.

"Um, if I could help you grow, it's that it was worth teaching. Young people don't even listen to people these days, they only do what they want to do and get it done. As a matter of fact, very few people ask us for advice."

Sure, the tutorial was a hassle. Although it's common in computer games, it would be important to get information first in this hand game.

if the beta testers understand it well, and gather information beforehand, they know it. I think the existence here is well worth it to those who jumped into this world without knowing them.

"Whatever, it's a bad story."

I gave my honest thoughts. Besides, this isn't just about this training ground. Yesterday, I had a public conversation with NPC when I was walking around eating, but it was never original and was full of various topics. There was going to be useful information, advantageous information rolling around everywhere to go about the game. There will be no hand in not taking advantage of it.

Second, I noticed a message floating around.

"Would you like to register a new Spirit Magic (Wind)"

When you select Jesus, it changes to the Enter Magic Name screen. I see, this is how we increase our magic. Or a memorable treatment? Name it Windguard to complete the registration.

"Now, Master Instructor, I will try to do some more magic research."

"Hmm. If you need anything, don't hesitate to rely on it. Be as powerful as you can."

"Yes, thank you"

"I look forward to your future work."

Rin, with a brilliant salute to fall in love with, Mr. Perkins left. I guess I went looking for someone else who needed advice.

"Well, let's do it"

How far can I go on my own now? We need to verify what will be possible in the future. Let's sum up the knowledge we've developed in TRPG to see if we can reproduce it in this game's system. Oh, I'd like to do some more of the [procedure] too.

This day was to be spent solely on training.
