Memorize Chapter 40

00040 Make an Offer ———————————————– ————————–=

From the next day after entering the training center, the instructors fired the signal for rough training. And just one week after firing off the signal, the Northern Continent User Academy proved its extreme notoriety. Of the 130 people, 17 people, more than 10%, gave up on training and were discharged. One thing that is unusual is that 15 people are melee and long-distance combat users.

I repeat, the northern continent is under the jurisdiction of users from South Korea. One thing that differentiates it from countries governing other continents is that it is a country with a compulsory military service system. To that extent, adult men, including reservists as well as military-related users, could often find users.

Perhaps that’s why the North Continent User Academy, which boasts the origins of the entire continent, clearly reflected military nostalgia. It was often seen that freedom was suppressed, with even basic living conditions, including food, clothing, and shelter, being controlled during work hours, let alone training.

If you say, “Training is simply difficult,” you may be able to get through it somehow with perseverance. However, what really made new users bored was the training content. In reality, the military’s guerrilla training involves intense training that can be seen as cute, but most of the users who proved their qualifications showed signs of throwing up on the first day and giving up after not being able to handle the training.

Among them, the training that can be called the highlight is definitely the special training that only takes place on weekends. Date calculations on the Hole Plane follow the same method as on Earth. Weekend training on Saturdays and Sundays every 7 days was the real reason new users left the academy. And there was also a reason why most combat users left.

The training involved users fighting one-on-one against each other.

Of course, this training excludes wizards and priests. The basic principle of wizards is to draw out each other’s magical power, embody it in reality, and then strike. However, in the beginning, it was difficult to draw it out and control it, and there was a lot of knowledge to learn. Even if you devote 13 weeks to learning all the basics, it is difficult to master them all. Priests have similar reasons, but since they have little attack magic and mainly use recovery or combat support magic, they were naturally excluded from training.

It would be a big mistake to think that the battle between these users is just a gentle sparring with each other. The rule is to hand out a sharp-edged weapon and actually fight the opponent, inflicting more than a certain amount of wounds. Of course, vital parts such as the head and heart are covered with solid protective gear, but other parts are exposed without filtering before engaging in battle.

Of course, every time there is a battle, you have to be fully prepared. Renowned users become instructors, always prepared for unexpected strikes, and always have skilled priests on standby.

Even so, actual simulated combat training was generally difficult to accept. no. Beyond finding it difficult to accept, most users cursed and called it crazy training. But I thought very highly of this training. This is because the training was a training that complemented the only thing I was worried about for Ahn Hyun and his group during the rite of passage.

In Hall Plain, no one knows when, where, or what will happen. Once you go a certain distance outside the city, from that moment on, no place can be considered safe. You may get caught in a trap, or be attacked by monsters or vagabonds. This is where the influence of users is, but it would be embarrassing to say what the unexplored areas will be like.

Such situations require users to make split-second decisions and quick wits. Depending on how quickly you respond, it could be seen as the difference between life and death. At that time, I couldn’t stab someone with a knife, so if I tried to explain how to stab someone, it would be very frustrating. That’s why it’s an important training process that gets people accustomed to being stabbed and hurt at the same time.

My only concern was that I should never get hurt during mock combat training. In other words, every time you fight, you must win. There was no way that users who were still just beginners would be able to overcome my durability.

I beat a weaker opponent without difficulty, but I thought it was a bit burdensome to equally beat a somewhat stronger opponent. For example, I had a battle with Woo Jung-min, and he focused on defense the entire time and played an even match, but at one point, he countered and won.

Given the circumstances, it was inevitable that he would become somewhat famous. Even if it was famous, it wasn’t a big deal since it was only a new user. Among the surrounding instructors and users, the level of new users was high, and among them, Kim Soo-hyun was evaluated as excellent and useful. Since this was within the acceptable range, I accepted it obediently.

There is a saying, ‘Nangjungjichu (囊中之錐)’. This means that people with outstanding abilities and talents will stand out on their own. At first, there was a time when I thought I had to hide myself at all costs due to obsession stemming from old habits and habits.

“If this continues, my brother will end up acting the same way again in the same situation. And there is a possibility that the same situation will repeat itself.”

“User Kim Soo-hyun. I can’t do anything alone.”

Acting the same way. That you can’t do anything alone. What Hanbyeol and Seraph said shook my heart. This time, I didn’t want Yoohyeon to lose her brother, her, and her Han Soyoung. And I wanted to confidently step forward and help them. This time, I want to see a happy ending together, not a sad one.

In Holplane, strength can be measured by how many colleagues you can trust and have your back. History and my own experience prove it. Even the Invincible user who achieved 101 points of strength and dominated an era was eventually crushed by the power of the Allied Forces. In that case, you must have a certain level of ability and reputation to attract those colleagues.

I was able to realize that my thoughts had changed a little compared to the first time. And now that I had entered Hall Plain, I was willing to do it if necessary. From the moment I made that decision, my behavior began to change.

No matter how difficult the training was, I did it passionately without saying a word. Even though the instructor’s control seemed a bit harsh, I obeyed and maintained a polite attitude. When these things were connected to good training results, I was able to see instructors who looked at me with favorable eyes. (As an aside, the user who first served as an instructor at my accommodation soon became my shuttle at the beginning of the year.)

As word about user Kim Soo-hyun began to spread by word of mouth, relationships with users around him naturally improved. The number of users who want to be friends or have a good relationship with me has also increased. Rather than popping out all at once, I was slowly climbing the limits, revealing room for growth. In other words, in vulgar terms, I was advertised as a person who could be defeated.

Humans are animals that adapt to the environment. Although the period may vary from person to person, the fact that you have adapted is important. There is a big difference in the survival rates of users who have adapted and those who have not.

There were still a certain number of people leaving the facility in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks. However, as the 5th, 6th, and 7th weeks progressed, the number gradually decreased, and by the 8th week, not a single person had left the facility. It was said that the remaining people were sifted users.

Of course, those who remain do not necessarily survive, and even those who leave do not necessarily die. The variables in the world of Hall Plain were too diverse to determine life or death simply through the user academy. It was just a matter of probability and possibility.

If you look into the conditions for joining clans when advancing to the Hall Plain after graduation, you can see one thing in common. Graduated from the User Academy. I even heard that there are clans that give you extra points if you graduate from the Northern Continent’s User Academy when you go to another continent.

Perhaps those who left will regret losing the 4 points of ability reward they were not paid if they survive after two years.

Ahn Hyun’s group proudly overcame my initial concerns. Even Sol-i was completing the training course without a single person failing. The experience of forced marching after leaving the city that was a trap point seemed to have helped to some extent.

Contrary to my expectation that Ahn Hyun would become a swordsman as he was skilled with a sword, he chose a spear as his main weapon. He was asked his occupation and, sure enough, he chose Lancer. Since his basic physical abilities excluding magical power were considerable, he would be suitable for any weapon, but there was some disappointment.

When Sol was first in danger in the clearing, he threw his sword and cut off one of Deadman’s arms. From then on, I had a high opinion of Hyun’s sense of the sword. If I had chosen the same path as a swordsman, I could have helped him become a sword master, but he said he was more interested in spears, so it was inevitable.

Still, I was curious, so I asked him why he chose to be a spearman, and the answer was shocking.

“At that time, I couldn’t come to my senses because I thought my brother was dead. To be honest, they were pissed. I asked them to tell me if my brother was alive or dead, but they kept avoiding the answer and only asked me to do something weird like user settings… She told me to do a test, but I told them to get out of the way. “Out of anger, I said I would pick up the spear.”

Ansol, who was listening from the side, added that in the beginning, her older brother had insisted on becoming a wizard. At that time, she burst out laughing, saying that it was the first time she had seen the angel embarrassed. I sighed inwardly at their calm words.

Ansol did not exceed my expectations. As expected, she chose a priest. According to Anhyeon, it took her a long time to set up her first job, but she says it took her less than half the time it took her. As she was reluctant to take up arms and hated hurting others, her priesthood was a perfect fit for her Ansol aptitude.

Yujeong chose a dagger, the type used in rites of passage, as her main weapon. What’s unique is that he chose a double dagger used with both hands rather than a one-handed dagger. When I asked him about his occupation, he proudly said he chose mercenary.

Obviously, since Yujeong has all the abilities including magic, he will be able to exceed the average no matter which melee type he chooses. If it were me, I would probably have recommended an Assassin, but I thought a mercenary who could use a variety of weapons would also be good.

As new users became able to open and manipulate their own information, there were often cases of asking each other’s abilities at the academy. I gathered the group together and advised them never to share detailed information such as their abilities or abilities with other users, including the instructor.

In particular, I asked Sol-i twice or three times. He didn’t even know why I was doing that, but he just smiled brightly and said he liked it. She definitely felt that the attitude of her companions towards her had changed subtly after meeting the boss monster.

However, one person seemed to be gradually changing in a direction that was different from ours. When I made my name known at the Academy, Ahn Hyun, An Sol, and Yu Jeong secretly showed signs of pride. Seeing them do that even though they weren’t good at it was proof that those three people didn’t think of me as a stranger. However, Hanbyul was an exception.

Hanbyeol was increasingly distancing herself from me and the rest of the group. When we first met her for training, I asked her what career she had chosen and she immediately responded coldly.

“Your brother just told you not to share his information with other users.”

I told you not to tell me the details. Who told me not to tell you my job? That has no choice but to be revealed. I smiled coolly on the outside, but I couldn’t help but feel a little hurt inside when I heard that. She must have sensed my attitude a little and later told me that she had received the magician’s rank, but I responded by nodding her head. Of course, I could see with my third eye, but I did not activate it on purpose. Since he was a magical talent, I had some idea.

There were many times when Hanbyul missed meetings. They say wizards have a lot to study and a lot to memorize and practice, but this was similar to other classes. The only time the group met was once a week, for an hour or two at a time, but I often heard through Sol that even that was difficult to come by.

“Brother, just don’t worry about that girl. She lives in different accommodations with me and Sol, and we barely talk to each other? Just do whatever you want. And honestly, Kim Han-byeol… I didn’t like her from the beginning.”

“That’s a bit harsh. Still….”

“But whatever. According to the rumors, who is that person? There’s a user who was described earlier when I first left our inn. That male user. They say someone saw him talking to him. He’s like a traitor.”

I laughed bitterly as I watched Yoo-jeong cursing Han-byeol, calling him a traitor. It seemed like my initial premonition was becoming reality. To be honest, receiving an offer from the Golden Lion Clan was not something to criticize. Now that we have reached the 8th week, I have secretly received offers from over 5 clans. Among them, of course, was the Golden Lion Clan.

Still, there was definitely something wrong with his actions of keeping his distance from us. She would occasionally join in, but she rarely opened her mouth. Just once, he looked at me and opened his mouth for the first time, and that time he asked me what I was going to do after graduation. I dismissed it by saying I was still thinking about the answer.

From that day on, I was able to look at Han So-young and Kim Han-byeol separately. And I decided not to worry about Hanbyeol’s problem anymore. I wanted to do it together, but it was okay if I didn’t follow along. Those who do not go will be accepted after thorough verification. I aim for the elite few. I just wanted to decline the number of people.

There is a word called fate. A relationship refers to a relationship between people. I believe that fate is not a coincidence, but a field that can be pioneered on one’s own. So I believe in the word fate. He was living proof of the powerful power of real-life bonds.

I decided to treat Kim Han-byeol as a relationship. If we’re meant to be, we’ll meet, but if not, I’ll just let you go. I have the ability to create more relationships, but I think clinging to uncertain relationships is something only a fool would do.

As Han So-young’s shadow was removed, things that were previously invisible began to appear rationally. Looking at it calmly, it was more beneficial to capture users who had already been verified in the first round rather than Kim Han-byeol, who only believed in possibilities. Moreover, even if there are not many new users with similar potential, there will definitely be one somewhere.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

hello. This is Ro Yujin. Did all readers have a gloomy Monday?

The issue of reviews was addressed in episode 39, and fortunately, I was able to talk to someone in charge of Jo Ara. In conclusion, I received an answer that attaching a review to the serial content could be a big problem, but writing it in the review section does not matter at all, no matter how much you spend. I feel relieved.

However, I felt that I needed to be a little more careful when writing reviews. I mentioned the previous content in advance when I was writing it, but I saw a comment that it could be a spoiler that lowers expectations of what will unfold. Even if you think about it as a reverse statement, I think I would do the same.

So, from now on, I will not write anything different from the content of the series. And I will think about it one more time before writing a review or review. Questions that may contain future content or spoilers will be answered with no comments. There may be some people who are frustrated, but all I can say is that you should wait as these questions will be answered naturally as you read the content to be published in the future. If you’re really curious, please send me a message. Then I will let you know. (But you shouldn’t tell others about it, right?)

I couldn’t sleep for a day and suffered a lot, but I feel much more at ease because it seems to have ended in a positive direction. We ask for your continued interest in Memorize!

『Reripple』

1. Let’s play with Yeo-ok: There are many ways to increase your abilities. It can be seen as training, elixir (potion), skill, and mission reward. And although it is extremely rare, there are cases where the equipment has stat increases attached to it. However, except for water lilies, you can think of the rest as picking stars in the sky. and… It would definitely be fun to use Sol in that way. 🙂

2. GradeDown: Honestly, at first, I wanted to make the user academy part similar to the academy content. A lot of interesting topics came to mind regarding the CSAT (individual grades) and the English Premier League (joining a clan). However, since that would require approximately 200K to 250K, I quickly decided to skip it.

3. Ailelia: Huh. You’re reviewing the first part again to better understand the work… It seems like you have so much passion that I really appreciate it. (Honestly, I was touched. Ugh.) Since you have shown a lot of interest in the work, I will also repay you with more meaningful content in the future. thank you.(__)

4. Latina doll: The basic rule is yes. However, as you can see from today’s content, the training is more difficult than you can imagine. As an aside, knowledge can be viewed as basic background and major knowledge about hole planes.

5. Thick cutlassfish: Hahaha. You had a really unusual dream. If you don’t mind, do you remember your abilities and occupation from back then? I wonder. 🙂

6. CrossDie: They said it doesn’t matter what I write in the review section. Honestly, I think this episode 40 was quite enjoyable to write. Yesterday, I was busy making revision after revision until 11 o’clock, but today I have a little more time.

7. zjekfksqlc: Thank you for your valuable advice. It may be difficult to satisfy the tastes of all readers, but we will still try to move in the direction that the majority of people want. While collecting the opinions of a small number of people as much as possible. Each and every one of them is very precious to me.

8. Human Life: Human Life always helps me a lot. I am always grateful for that. ‘You need to answer this’ or ‘I’ll just summarize what I’m curious about’ are naturally included in the reply, and I also want to include other small comments. It would be a shame to miss any of them. 🙂

9. Like Yuun + Blamy: It’s been a while! Did you have a good trip? ha ha ha. Rather than having a low posture, I felt I needed to listen a little more. In fact, there were many people who pointed out things I hadn’t thought of.

10.dsdqwe:NO. I am absolutely not upset. Really. As for the review, this issue has been constantly discussed for a long time, so I wrote it in the last issue because I wanted to completely resolve it. I am deeply grateful to people like dsdqwe who always give me valuable advice. I will pay more attention to capacity in the future. thank you.(__)

11. Toranoanal: Um. Your ranking is low. I was thinking that being in the top 20 would be enough. ha ha ha. I’m not yet well-versed in calculating the best index, so I don’t know the details… The conclusion is that readers feel less fun and interested than highly ranked works. I also have about five works that I read on my smartphone as soon as I wake up in the morning. Also, it seems that the fact that it is not serialized and that the number of episodes that have been serialized is still small plays a role. I think these are issues I need to work harder to solve in the future. I will do my best not to betray Toranoanal’s insight.

12. yji5502: Thank you for your hard work, writing such a long sentence on your phone. And thank you for your valuable advice. I felt a lot after reading the reader’s comments. As I said before, I will refrain from spoilers or anything that may reduce immersion. Please look forward to.

13. Aficionado C: Thank you? 🙂

14. hohokoya1: If you don’t mind being spoiled, please send me a message.

15. Kriasen: Yay. The last comment is from Kriasen. I really laughed for a long time when I saw Kriasen’s comment today. ha ha ha. You previously recommended Hanbyeol as the heroine, but you changed your mind. 🙂 Hanbyeol is not a disposable character. As such, several episodes are planned in the future. I hope that some of your doubts will be answered by watching this episode. Of course, this is not the end. As the double wire is laid, the knot must be tied securely. 🙂

Well then, I will leave for today.

I hope you can always read my writing with a comfortable mind.

Selection, recommendations, comments, criticism, and questions are always welcome.
