53 – Episode 11. Midterm exam.

<5>

‘He’ was a regular user of Legends of Academia. He is a heavy user with almost no experience who has not missed a single day of access since the opening, and has filled up his power of action.

In fact, there are plenty of users who have played similarly to him. However, there was one crucial difference between the other users and the ‘he’ that entered Lee Si-hyuk’s body.

The fact that Lee Si-hyeok was not selected for 3 years.

The difficulty of Legend of Academia varied greatly depending on whether or not the human rights officer Lee Si-hyeok was possessed.

Nevertheless, ‘he’ cleared all scenarios and events for 3 years just like everyone else.

It was never easy.

Maybe I said that I was going through hardships for no reason, leaving a path that was easy for others to see.

But without Lee Si-hyeok, ‘he’ knew a lot of information that other users didn’t know.

The strategy hidden by the developer as Plan B. How to develop a character to maximize its abilities. Depending on the situation, even the combination of characters that can produce the optimal result.

That was a special element that only ‘he’ had even among the users of Legend of Academia.

Of course, ‘he’, the culprit, is not aware of this fact.

He only considers himself as one of the ordinary users.

But among all Leoa users, the one who can say Chae Hee-rin’s problem is ‘easy’ is actually-

“A typical party consists of four to six, right?”

“Uh. More than that will not gather unless there are special circumstances.”

Chae Hee-rin nodded her head obediently at Lee Si-hyeok’s words.

She was willing to listen and see. Then she said, “Don’t pretend like a normal high school student.”

Looks like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, so he must be talking nonsense.

However, Contrary to Chae Hee-rin’s expectations, Lee Si-hyeok confidently continued his words.

“A minimum of four would be one sniper, one close-range attacker, and two supporters. One support can be a simple reinforcement or movement support class, and the other one can be any support that helps defense.”

“The basis?”

“Once there are hostages, a sniper is absolutely necessary. Since it’s a hostage situation in the city, there must be plenty of places to use as sniping points. Best if you can handle it in one shot… But, since there are hostages, that’s impossible. The role of a sniper is to draw attention first.”

Lee Si-hyeok put one of his fries into his mouth and continued his words.

“The next step is to separate the hostages and the irregulars. This part will be the key. This part will be taken up by supporters with enhancements or movement aids and melee attackers. In the case of reinforcement, the attacker’s abilities are amplified to physically separate the irregulars. If it’s a movement aid, it’s the role of securing hostages while the attacker takes a short time.”

“… So in reality there are only one or two people fighting. Isn’t there any reason to organize four people?”

At Chae Hee-rin’s question, Lee Si-hyeok shook his head.

“If it’s a high-ranking species that understands the concept of taking hostages, it’s definitely impossible to defeat them with that number of people. But do you have a sniper? If you’re talented enough to assume the sniper position, you’ll be sure to have firepower. Bread with maximum output while the attacker is wasting time! Then it will usually be over.”

‘Well, it’s a story when Lee Si-hyeok isn’t around.”

Lee Si-hyuk smiled bitterly at the thought of Lee Si-hyuk in the game.

The hostage taking is one of the missions that often appear. A mission that does not end with simply defeating the enemy, but can be successful only by protecting the hostage from the enemy and returning it safely.

It was quite difficult, so it was a mission that could only be cleared with the right combination of teams and the use of skills at the right timing.

But with Lee Si-hyuk, the story is different. Assuming it was a normal hostage situation, it was possible to clear it with a two-person combination of Lee Si-hyeok + a.

‘When I think about it, it is absurd. Why didn’t Lee Si-hyuk get a nerf?’

While Lee Si-hyeok was thinking about that, Chae-hee and Rin crossed her arms and pondered what Lee Si-hyuk said.

‘… There is nothing wrong with that.”

It makes sense. What Lee Si-hyeok said may not be the only correct answer, but at least it was much more plausible than the combinations Chae Hee-rin had been thinking about so far.

How could Lee Si-hyeok know so well about the ‘application of ability’ subject?

Such a question came to mind, but to Chae Hee-rin now, the next question came before that question.

“What role does the last member, the defense supporter, play?”

“It is to minimize the aftermath of the sniping.”

“… Why?”

“Because it’s downtown.”

“Ah… !”

When Chaehee Rin heard Lee Sihyuk’s words, she unknowingly let out her exclamation.

Even if she saved the hostage, it wouldn’t be the end if I didn’t deal with this regular.

However, considering the location of the city center, the longer the battle, the more damage it will cause.

Therefore, it is necessary to subdue the enemy at once through the sniper, and in order for the sniper to exert its full power, a defensive supporter is needed to mitigate the impact.

Lee Si-hyeok organized her combination with the post-mortem process in mind, which Chae Hee-rin herself did not even think of.

“… Where did you learn it?”

“I didn’t really learn anything.”

Saying that, Lee Si-hyeok placed his mouth on his straw and gulped down the remaining coke.

Whatever Chae Hee-rin thought, it was really no big deal to Lee Si-hyeok.

However, that answer made Chae Hee-rin even more surprised.

“Then you can’t study on your own?”

Chae Hee-rin shouted with her eyes wide open. Her voice drew attention to the table where Chae Hee-rin and Lee Si-hyuk were sitting.

‘Why is he suddenly like this?’

Lee Si-hyeok was confused and pondered for a while, then nodded his head.

Self-study can also be called self-study.

The information Lee Si-hyeok had at the beginning was limited to the characters of Legend of Academia.

However, the story has completely changed after Joo Ji-young lent her ID for the Akashic Records.

Memories of countless missions as a ‘teacher’ of the special department for three years, that is, as a player.

Those memories that remained only as ambiguous concepts developed into a completely new realm by encountering specific cases of the Akashic Records.

“… It was something I could do on my own.”

“Anyway, this was helpful, right? Then I study here too?”

At Lee Si-hyuk’s words, Chae-hee and Rin put on a dumbfounded expression for a moment, then hurriedly nodded her head up and down.

I wanted to know what you were talking about, but I never thought I would mention such a trivial thing again.

Considering the value of what Lee Si-hyeok just said, he could say it several times, even sharing a seat.

‘… Amazing.’

Lee Si-hyeok’s explanation was more understandable and convincing than the difficult ‘application of ability’ class I had received at Cheongmyeong.

If I submitted the correct answer exactly as Lee Si-hyeok said, I didn’t know the perfect score, but it was clear that I would at least get a high score.

He has never been directly tutored by the hero, so it is not possible to make an accurate comparison, but what Lee Si-hyeok just said is worth at least one tutoring session.

‘… I want to ask more.’

Chaehee Rin put one of her fries into her mouth and looked at Lee Sihyuk.

There are more than one or two problems that have been blocked and thrown away.

Perhaps Lee Si-hyeok will come up with the answers to those questions as calmly as he did just now.

It’s okay if you can’t give all the correct answers.

If only I could get half, no, even one or two out of 10.

That will definitely be of great help to Chae Heerin.

‘… I have to catch it.’

I have to somehow catch Lee Si-hyeok and raise his score in the ability application course.

However, if you show a 180 degree change of attitude after being so blunt until now, there is a high possibility that Lee Si-hyeok will leave with a straight face.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have been a little kinder.’

Inwardly, Chae Hee-rin resented herself 10 minutes ago. If she did, she would be able to bring up her story of studying together naturally in a very gentle atmosphere.

She can’t help it.

For now, I have no choice but to wait and hope for the right opportunity.

Meanwhile, Lee Si-hyeok, unable to understand Chae-hee-rin’s desperate heart, was wrestling hard while holding on to her math textbook.

‘Basic concept problems… Can you manage to solve it though?’

I didn’t understand it at once, but it was solved by simply ignorantly substituting the formula written in the textbook.

But when it comes to problems beyond that, problems with a little bit of application, we get stuck right away. The difficulty starts with the method of constructing the expression.

If I had taken even a little class, it wouldn’t have been so daunting.

… How could I have slept so carelessly?

Such regret came to Lee Si-hyeok’s head.

Sihyuk Lee and Heerin Chae were both in an uncomfortable state for their own reasons, and silence flowed at the table where they sat for a long time.

After a while, the voice of a part-time worker came from the speaker, announcing that the store was closing soon.

-This store is only open until 10:00. Dear guests-

“Then I was sorry about today. I’ll go a little earlier tomorrow.”

“Huh?”

Looking at Lee Shi-hyeok packing her luggage, Chae-hee-rin was visibly embarrassed.

‘We can’t part like this!”

She said that she and Lee Si-hyeok don’t even know each other’s phone numbers. If we don’t make the next appointment here, the possibility of meeting again next time is slim.

Now that there is a high possibility of ruining the practical test, if you somehow do not get a high score in the ‘application of ability’-

“Wait!”

With such an impatient mind, Chae Hee-rin grabbed Lee Si-hyuk’s hand as he tried to stand up.

Lee Si-hyeok opened her eyes wide and looked straight into Chae-hee-rin’s face.

“… What?”

Lee Si-hyeok opened his mouth with a wary attitude.

Chaehee-rin’s personality is very dirty, so she may be trying to grab her pod for nothing.

“That… Lee Shi-hyeok!”

However, the words that came out of Chae Hee-rin’s mouth, who blushed, were far from Lee Si-hyeok’s expectations.

“I… Shall I teach you math?”
