The Returner Wants Complete Victory

3 – 003. Tutorial (2)

– Time remaining until Chimera attack: 7 minutes 33 seconds

About 30 minutes have passed since I entered the mansion.

To avoid arousing suspicion, I pretended to search places without items, so the remaining time was running out.

However, thanks to this, I found 9 status-boosting pills and 3 bottles of lowest-grade potions, and I was able to grab not only bottled water and dry food from the kitchen I last visited, but also quite a bit of high-quality food such as fruit.

Actually, there was one pill left, but since it was in a hidden room in the basement, it was naturally difficult to find, so I just gave up.

Now, all I had to do was get stuck in a corner and avoid the first attack, and it was just as planned.

“hey. “Leave all that behind.”

What on earth are these idiots?

Six men, led by Tattoo Pig, were standing blocking the exit.

Sword, spear, axe… . First of all, no one had a crossbow.

Is this really the situation I’m imagining?

“What is this guy? “Are you deaf?”

“What are you telling me to leave behind? “Is this really it?”

I waved the leather backpack I was holding in my left hand.

I was so busy, but I was so annoyed by the sudden appearance of an intruder.

It seems like if you decide to stick with it, you can beat them all to death.

It’s better to get rid of these guys while you can.

But it was a bit awkward to just rush at those six people.

As my body became so weak due to regression, my confidence also diminished.

Is there a death as stupid as thinking about it before returning, crashing into it, and then rummaging through it?

“Yeah, you bastard. “If I take something from someone else’s house, can I use it?”

I wish one or two of them would lose their temper and attack first.

“Let’s borrow some. “I’ll pay you back later.”

The remaining time has already been reduced to 6 minutes.

Even when I try to scratch it gently, the reaction is not very clear.

Because I’m the only one who’s in a hurry right now.

They don’t know that the Chimera is attacking the mansion intensively.

You may be complacent, wondering if there is anywhere to hide in this large mansion.

The moment I was about to make a decision, the tattooed pig began to approach me in stride.

Then he raised his hand as if to slap his face.

“Ha, you son of a b*tch—”

Are you really coming alone?

Besides, why bother leaving the knife behind?

Kwasik!

“Kwaaak!”

Before the tattoo pig’s hand could reach his body, he swung the ax and chopped off his shoulder.

The collarbone was broken and the opponent fell to the ground.

“Ugh, big… .”

He may have escaped instant death, but collapsed and groaned.

Did you ever think that I would swing an ax all of a sudden?

The Earth has lost less water.

The ax didn’t come off easily, so he stepped on the man and forcibly pulled it out.

“aaah! Sigh… !”

The man gasped, tears streaming down his face.

He was going to die from excessive bleeding anyway, but he was looking up at me pitifully with fear-filled eyes as if he was begging me to save him.

Pow! puck!

I didn’t want to see those eyes for no reason, so I struck down the ax and cut off his life.

A hissing sound could be heard from ahead.

I hated these guys the most.

When guys like this come into Proa and get bigger, they tend to cause accidents as if anything is possible.

“You, you bastard, person, person… !”

The remaining five people were still standing blocking the exit.

Everyone drew their weapons, but the tip of the blade was shaking as if their hands were shaking.

I don’t know, but to those guys, wouldn’t I look like a psychopathic serial killer from a movie?

It seemed like this was going to happen from the moment the guy who looked like the leader left his intact knife and tried to grab me by the collar.

If you crowd around and make a loud noise, others will make concessions.

This may not work on Earth, but it doesn’t work on Proa.

“Don’t block the road and come out.”

The tattooed pig said as he lifted the long sword he was holding.

The five of them exchanged glances with each other as if they didn’t know what to do.

Jerk.

As I take a step, it awkwardly takes a step to either side.

It seemed like he would get out of the way if I kept going, but I didn’t want to take the risk. What if something attacks me?

Now I am a weak man with an overall ability score of 47.

And a weak dog barks loudly!

“Get out of the way, you f*cking bastards!”

When he swung the ax loudly as a threat, the men scattered to both sides.

When I glanced at both sides before exiting the door, the men flinched and avoided eye contact.

Looking at the situation, it seemed like no one would attack him and say he would seek revenge later.

It’s probably the first time I’ve seen them all since I came here, so I’m going to try to get revenge by saying that we’ve developed some kind of great friendship.

As I closed the door and came out, I heard a sigh of relief and a soft curse coming from behind me.

– Time remaining until Chimera attack: 3 minutes and 11 seconds

I need to hide quickly.

I ran.

“I like her. Can I have it?”

The woman said as she filled the combustion tank with grass.

That b*tch breathes through a pipe and not her nose… .

The guide sighed inwardly and used purification magic.

“The raid hasn’t even started yet. “I don’t know what will happen in five days. Isn’t it too early?”

“It doesn’t take a day or two to watch a tutorial, but you can figure it out if you just watch it. So is it okay or not?”

“It’s not possible. You know. We have the highest negotiating rights. “Rachel is second place.”

“Yeah? That’s too bad… . So let’s say he gives up… , how about you? “Can you treat me better than that little boy?”

Rachel approached, putting her upper body on the table. A blatant gesture of seduction.

Although the guide knew that Rachel’s behavior was a joke, he did not know how to react each time.

If the leader had been there, he would have told me not to make a fuss.

‘I miss you, Captain… .’

“Si-rival… .”

“oh?”

The guide gasped and closed his mouth as the words leaked out without his knowledge.

“Are you sure you said that to me?”

Rachel smiled and twirled her pipe as if she had made a good move.

The guide’s face turned blue.

“Well, that can’t be possible! hahahaha! Just, uh! Because those bastards are disgusting! Where are you from day 1? .”

It’s a lie that not even a dog will fall for. I will have to be a toy for about 30 minutes without moving… .

The moment Rachel was about to say something, the black man who was staring intently into the crystal ball muttered.

“Something is strange.”

The troubled guide asked the question to himself as if he had met a savior.

“Which one do you mean?”

The black man glanced at the guide and spoke naturally.

“Seongho. “Did that guy have any characteristics?”

Guide Kim Seong-ho tilted his head at the black man’s words.

“well? If I had it congenitally, I would have no way of knowing… . “Once I started the tutorial, I didn’t wake up.”

Rachel, whose prank was interrupted, could be heard swearing, but the black man ignored it.

Right now, that man in the crystal ball was more important.

“Yeah, that’s right… .”

The black man stroked his chin as if he was thinking about something.

“Is there any problem?”

“There are a total of 10 stat-boosting pills in the manor house. Is that right?”

“yes. “There are 10 in the manor house, 8 each in the guard headquarters and merchant union branch, and 80 scattered throughout the rest of the city, for a total of a little over 100.”

“But we found 9 in just 30 minutes… .”

“Well, because there was no interference from the chimera. The main point is that the basic premise is that the Chimera will take over, so aren’t the items in an easy-to-find place? “The group that went to the merchants’ union found all eight within 20 minutes of entering.”

Seongho Kim shrugged his shoulders.

The black man was still staring at the crystal ball with indifferent eyes.

“There are nine people there. “I’m alone here.”

Kim Seong-ho’s expression hardened at the black man’s words.

“derrick. I know what you want to say, but… . “Choose your words carefully.”

Derek’s eyes turned to Seongho Kim.

Even though he was receiving the gaze of one of the five strongest men on Earth, Kim Seong-ho did not avoid his eyes but rather glared at his opponent.

If it were a person-to-person issue, he would have stepped back appropriately, but Derek’s words now cast doubt on the entire mercenary group that Kim Seong-ho belongs to.

Rather, the other scouts in the room became nervous due to Kim Seong-ho’s strong response.

“To prevent something like that from happening again, didn’t you share the entire guidance process with us?”

To obtain the authority to act as a tutorial agent, you must offer a huge amount of public value to the temple.

Of course, if you win the rights, you can make more profits than that through recruitment priority auctions, etc.

However, in the past, a mercenary group was not satisfied with that level and committed fraud in order to monopolize talent.

Using the guide’s authority to contact the summoners first, a provisional contract was made before the tutorial even started and information was provided in real time throughout the tutorial.

A safe place, the location of stat pills, the weak point of the stat-giving Chimera… .

After the fact was discovered, the mercenary group was torn apart and divided into several mercenary groups and paid the price of being absorbed, but apart from that, seeds of distrust were planted among the mercenary groups.

Even if you proceed as transparently as possible to avoid suspicion, if something even slightly incomprehensible happens, negativity is the first thing that comes to mind.

“Excuse me. “I apologize.”

“you’re welcome.”

Derek apologized with an expression that did not clear his suspicions at all, and Seongho Kim also received an apology with an expression that did not seem at all okay.

“You guys are playing so brutally. “If you’re going to fight, I’ll be the referee, so do you really need to tell me?”

Only Rachel, who was watching the scene, was smiling as if she was having fun.

As soon as I left the mansion, I quickly explored a few nearby houses.

It doesn’t matter if it’s an attic, so there must be a second floor. And the means of getting to the second floor is not stairs, but a weak wooden ladder that is easy to break.

Most attics have at least a shack, so it’s not that difficult.

However, the ladder may be there because this is a wealthy village near the manor house. I think all wealthy houses use stairs.

All my worries were for naught, and I was able to find the house I wanted right on the third time.

– The Chimera attack begins!

As soon as I climbed the ladder into the attic, I heard a notification sound on my phone.

As soon as I came up, I moved my luggage from the attic and covered the window.

It was a bit uncomfortable as the ceiling was so low that I couldn’t even stand properly, but this was the fate of the attic, so there was nothing I could do about it.

I wasn’t going to be there for long anyway, and I needed a place to shelter from the rain for a while when they swept through the city like a wave.

Off─.

Wow~.

Clap, clap, clap.

A moment later, a cry of pain was heard from afar. And the sound of chains following it.

The types of chimeras that appear in the tutorial are fixed.

For example, in the forest, there is a wolf with horns on its head, and in the siege, there are pterodactyls flying in the sky and shooting bones, and monkeys burning the castle walls.

And the city raid is this guy.

A tattered body made from the corpses of other chimeras, a restraining device with techniques for maintaining such a body written on it, and a greatsword that is closer to a blunt weapon than a sword.

Commonly known as ‘Gladiator’.

It varies depending on the chimera used as the material, but as it is recycled waste, its average combat power is on the low side.

And because they always feel terrible pain, their sense of touch is extremely dull, and their sense of hearing and smell also deteriorate during the recombination process.

In fact, it is safe to say that it lacks all senses except vision, and is literally a type of soldier meant to be used as a meat shield.

If you had a commander, you could at least carry out an operation by transmitting orders through telepathy, but this tutorial is set up so that the commander is dead.

They are so easy that even two or three ordinary people can get together to fight against each other, they act individually because there is no commander, and their senses are so rubbish that they don’t even notice their comrades getting beaten up right next to them if they can’t see them.

If it had been before their regression, they wouldn’t have been treated like trash.

… But why on earth were you hiding in the attic?

Well, it’s scary if there are a lot of idiots like that.

From noble mtl dot com

The average number of people summoned to the tutorial is 300.

On the other hand, the number of attacking gladiators exceeds 1,000.

I can even guarantee that more than half of the summoned people will not be able to hold a spear properly, let alone fight.

Of course, it’s best to avoid it.

There is a reason why the mission goal is survival, not city defense.

─ What, what!

─ Holy sh*t! Kill it first!

“It has begun.”

And although he has low intelligence, he is not at all as stupid as a stone.

If there is a door, break it down, and if there are stairs, climb them. If you see a large and tall building, occupy it first and neutralize it.

Kills people. If they are wearing flashy clothes, aim for them first.

Hmm…

Wow!

Seeing as the sound is getting closer, it seems that it has already reached this area.

─ Oh, run away!

─ Hey, you f*cking bastard! Where?!

─ Save me!

They seem like the friends I saw at the mansion, right? that.

It looks very good.

Still, if we calmly intercept one or two of them one by one and escape underground, we might be able to survive, but judging from the sounds we heard, it seemed like they were all going to die.

It’s hard to think about fighting back. Just looking at the visuals, it’s like a demon crawling up from hell.

If there was a group located at the security headquarters or the merchant union branch instead of the mansion, they would have been in an uproar by now.

I took out the apple I brought from the mansion from my leather bag.

Crunchy.

Fruits should be eaten before they spoil.

Perhaps because it is an apple from a rich family, it is very sweet. It’s delicious.

Shuuu!

─ Argh!

I closed my eyes while listening to the gladiator and human scream ensemble echoing outside. I have to move later at night, so I should go to sleep early while I can.
