Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 72 At this moment, start again

Option 38.7 is 3.2%, option 6.4 is 25.8%, option 22.5 is 3.2%, option [-] is [-]%, option [-] is [-]%, and option [-] is [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Innocent】

……

It's time to make a choice.

Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand to one of the nine cards.Then the card slowly floated up.A pattern emerged on the golden card surface.

It is an innocent girl in a white dress, running on the sunny pasture on the top of the mountain.

This time, the text below the card reads:

【Innocent】.

Zheng Zhuo's body floated up.The golden card circled around him, emitting golden light.

"Bye-Bye."

The young woman behind the computer waved to Zheng Zhuo.

After that, Zheng Zhuo fell out of [Pure White Space] again.

……

This is Zheng Zhuo's fourth time passing through the golden world.Now, he has begun to get familiar with all this, and he can observe the surrounding situation in a calmer state than the previous three times.

In front of Zheng Zhuo, golden cards fluttered up and down like butterflies.It sets off golden ripples in the world, and every time the ripples spread, different patterns appear around it.

Those patterns gradually expanded and became the scene in front of them.

Zheng Zhuo saw a huge white city-state located by the sea.Under the sunlight, the city-state's iconic square-roofed buildings spread along the coastline, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, which is spectacular.Countless light-colored ships docked around it, and countless small airships painted with dazzling fluorescent paint rose and landed above the city-state.

Zheng Zhuo slid over the white city-state, and he saw many, many people.When people travel between cities, most of the props they hold have the same kind of glowing crystals.The energy radiating from those crystals can heat, cool, blow wind, lift heavy objects...

It's like magic.

However, the crystal needs to affect its performance according to the items it is equipped with.

"The world of magical technology...?"

Zheng Zhuo muttered to himself and flew over the top of the city.

He saw directly ahead, on the easternmost promontory of the city, stood a towering, castle-like building.The castle covers an area larger than a city. Zheng Zhuo hovered around it, and saw the complex tower buildings inside, the vast empty field and various practice areas with different terrains.

[Udoma Academy of Magic].

Zheng Zhuo can see its huge nameplate without getting close.

He flew to the gate of the castle.

Suddenly, the surrounding gold dimmed, and he saw the shadows of many students appearing on the road in front of the gate.Most of them are only seven or eight years old, with sparkling eyes full of longing for the future.

Among them, there is a girl who is surrounded by a golden halo, which is particularly eye-catching.She was the same, excited about the life ahead.

Zheng Zhuo followed the girl's footsteps and flew into the school.All the scenes moved quickly as if the fast play button had been pressed.

Girls learn magic techniques here.Zheng Zhuo saw the crystal in her hand - it was called the Magic Stone - shining brightly.

Her talents were noticed.Soon, the girl was assigned to the combat squad because of her rare magical properties, and began to learn actual combat skills again.

The speed of time here seems to be faster than other worlds.Zheng Zhuo watched the girl get her first sword, watched her learn to use magic for the first time.As the years passed, the girl grew into a young girl, and her talents began to emerge.

The girl defeated the strong enemy several times in the simulated battle.Her unique magical nature of [Light Attribute] can ignore all defenses, and this magical nature naturally helped her become the core of the team.Zheng Zhuo saw that she participated in several off-campus expeditions due to her excellent performance, and each time, she was able to defeat those monsters that were several times larger than her.

Is an excellent person.Zheng Zhuo folded his arms in the air, thinking.

This time it should be easier...

……Bar.

He didn't even finish his sentence when everything in front of him changed again.

Colorful magic stone beads are hung on the castle, and the school is about to hold an annual [competition].

Generally speaking, students will form partners in pairs to fight with each other, advance continuously, and compete for the glory of the championship.In the end, only one group of students could win the title of champion.

Some partners are composed of combat class students and combat class students, and the two attack together.Some partners are composed of combat class students and magic class students, the combat class students are in charge of attacking, and the magic class students are in charge of support.

The girl has won the championship for six consecutive years.She does not have a fixed teammate, and will choose a partner based on the current state every year.Because of this, there was an endless stream of people around her before the game-everyone wanted her to be able to partner with them.

But this time, just before the game, an accident happened.

A classmate in the magic class applied to the girl to be his partner but was rejected. In a fit of rage, he got a dagger with the power of [curse] from the black market, mixed in with the crowd and stabbed the girl.

The classmate was expelled because of this, but the girl's [light attribute] also disappeared and became a [dark attribute].

It is also a quality that no one has ever had.However, unlike the docile but powerful light attribute, the dark attribute is extremely difficult to manipulate, and there is no way to control it - there are almost no recorded attacks using dark attributes.Even if the [Dark Attribute] is forcibly used in the previous [Light Attribute] method, it will still hurt the caster himself before attacking others.The dark attribute also cannot be used on magic guides, all magic weapons infused with dark attributes will disintegrate before attacking.

In other words, although the academy still retains the girl's student status out of regret, the girl can no longer be a magister.

Many classmates expressed their sadness about this, but who knows if they were laughing behind their backs?The most obvious manifestation is that the girl has changed from a hot competition partner to a marginal person that no one cares about in a blink of an eye.

But she didn't give up.Today, she is also looking for a way in the school library.

……

The golden card suddenly accelerated.It flew away from Zheng Zhuo, flew towards the tallest tower of the Magic Academy, and landed in the championship trophy of this year's [competition].

The field of vision began to pass rapidly.A green box appeared in front of Zheng Zhuo's eyes.

"...Confirmed participants: [Explorer]. Fixed ability: identification/fast casting."

[Please choose whether to replace your fixed ability...]

[...Confirm the world adjustment, no new fixed ability.be reserved. 】

[Appraisal] and [Quick Cast], both skills can be used.That's a good thing, but Zheng Zhuo is a little skeptical about how much they'll do.

He saw some fighting.The magic technology in this world allows players to open the panel to check the situation anytime and anywhere, and using the magic stone, all the magic seems to be instantaneous.

"(I don't know if [Appraisal] and [Quick Casting] are still useful...)"

Still, something is better than nothing.

Zheng Zhuo slid through these boxes.

An ID card appeared in front of him.

The identity card only has Zheng Zhuo's photo and name on it, other than that, it's all shaking gibberish.

Four options appear below.

[Students of combat class].

[Students of the magic class].

【teacher】.

【School worker】.

"Meaning, I can choose my identity when I enter?"

Zheng Zhuo was thoughtful.

The students in the combat class understand it very well.Form a partner with girls who no one wants to team up with, and let girls who can't continue fighting support themselves.Maybe, the dark attribute has a magical effect on support.

Students in the magic class also form partners.Then develop magic tools that girls can also use? ...The direction is not yet clear, in short, to support her.If it is not done well, an unprecedented combat system can be developed.

Teacher... Indeed, although this competition says [up to two teams], there is no rule [no one can participate].Try to use the teacher's authority to find information that the girl cannot find, and then train her so that she can win the championship by herself.This is also a way.

The janitor is a bit strange.Is it any different from being a teacher?If you want to say, setting up the venue... is it a way to cheat?Play tricks during the game?Or, just steal the trophy?

Zheng Zhuo thought about it.
