Attack – Junction

“Jihan. Are you okay?!”

Noah Park jumped off the corpse and ran towards me.

I was caught in the shock of the fall of the Balrog and was thrown away. Fortunately, he didn’t fall down the hill, but he couldn’t get up.

It’s because something like that popped up in front of my eyes.

What mistake did I make this time?

Did you not think of the possibility that the event that occurs after the midterm exam will happen now? Or is it not possible to assume that two events can take place at the same time?

“ha ha ha···.”

Seriously, I laughed out loud. How do you break this up? Make your own ending? dog sound. This is just telling me to die.

“Ah…, I think you got a head injury?”

Park Noah’s bewildered voice was heard next to him. When I pat her hair and check her palms, it really comes out with blood. When she got caught in the shock earlier, it looks like the place she bumped into was torn.

“Wait a minute. Did you bring potions?”

“no, that’s fine.”

I raised my upper body and muttered.

“Noah. I think we’re more like Jojin.”

At my words, Noah Park stopped searching her arms and was startled.

“…Is it possible that I dropped the Balrog down the hill and the plan was disrupted?”

“It’s not.”

It’s not a setback. The plan itself is ruined. By now, the corpses in the Meteor Academy should have begun to rise.

I said with a sad laugh.

“Ha…. It may sound out of the blue, but now, the Necromancer, Arihan Hector, has attacked the Meteor Academy with his students.”

“···now?”

“It’s hard to believe, but yes.”

Park Noah already knows who they are. However, now I have to waste time explaining how to know that… However, Park Noah unexpectedly thought about my words for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“So you mean you have to go back now?”

Rather, I was not surprised by that naive reaction.

“It’s what I said… but do you believe this?”

“Then are you kidding me?”

“···no.”

Then, Noah Park shook her head as if not to be mistaken.

“I’m not an idiot, I’m not just a believer. You may not have seen it, but I showed you a video of Instructor Leight’s attack on the tower the other day.”

“Hey, the strategy that came out this time as an article?”

“Yeah. There were a few heroes dead in that article, but in fact, there were more than hundreds of heroes who died during this attack. Everyone’s eyes must have been on the tower, so now might be the right time for those insidious guys to reveal their true colors.”

“under···.”

I will turn Wasn’t that article actually a goo?

It’s not too shocking to hear that all the people who will become allies in the second half scenario have been exhausted.

Noah Park squatted in front of me.

“Then what will you do now? Jihan.”

“Why are you asking me that?”

“You are our guide. It is you who decides whether to continue with this quest or quit and return.”

Sipal. It would be nice to be comfortable When I looked at her Noah Park, she looked at me with a serious expression.

“Jihan. I’m not confident in making the best decisions.”

“It’s not that I’m going to take responsibility for it. I’m going to share it with you no matter what choice you make.”

I got up from my seat with a sigh, not answering those words. Looking at the bottom of the hill, even now, the demons are advancing to the 4th base, and time is passing together.

‘…it is impossible for me to destroy the gate and send Noah Park to the Yoosung Academy.’

To destroy the gate of Node 4, you need ‘Lian Arwell’. And the only ones who can deal with her are the Emperor Wu and Noah Park.

Then the opposite?

It’s no use either. Even if Noah Park bears her bias towards her evil tendencies, another variable arises and she dies.

‘And even if the Meteor Academy is destroyed, the game is over.’

…then it’s unavoidable.

Then, even if the world view becomes more devastated later, it is the right decision to give up the gate and return.

At least he could finish the quests with less damage.

“Noah. I have to go back…”

I kept my mouth shut without speaking.

Is this judgment really right? That thought kept coming to my mind.

‘Is this really the best move?’

A feeling of pressure as if pushed by time and pushed to the edge of a cliff.

This tension felt from before was somehow familiar. I’m sure I’ve had a similar feeling before.

I appeared on the screen, looking a little young.

“Are you going to see it again?”

“It’s good to do a revival at any time.”

“You don’t just want to see me robbed, do you?”

You bastard, aren’t you cheating?

The match he saw was the last match I played while on active duty. Of course, it was this guy.

I’m ashamed to say it myself, but it was a game that drew attention at the time.

A genius rookie who wins by squeezing the opponent’s breath while leading the match from the beginning. And even in an unfavorable match, it was a game of players who turned the tide at some point and had more comeback victories than ordinary victories.

[-Ah, are you making such a judgment here?]

[-Is the risk too high? standing player. It is showing a different play than usual.]

However, unlike the game that drew such a lot of attention, the voices of the casters and commentaries rebuking my play were heard on the screen.

There were occasional expressions of frown on their foreheads as if they could not understand the appearance of the spectators who appeared briefly.

eww. Just thinking about it still brings goosebumps down my spine.

Of course, it became a game that was ignorant of swearing even on the Internet. As I retired from this match for the last time, I was treated as a lucky one, claiming that even the comeback victories I had won were won by gambling play.

To be honest, I wanted to turn it off right away, but I couldn’t do it because of the guy’s concentration. Soon the guy watching the game opened his mouth.

“Why did the coach play like that at the time? Unlike usual, he didn’t observe the situation and took the initiative in aggressive management.”

“Of course, it was because I was trying to win.”

Well? Come to think of it, I never talked to him about this game. I said while looking at the situation in which the charter suddenly became unfavorable due to my judgment.

“I made the game while thinking about the moment when the opponent invests possibility. So there have been a lot of games that seem to turn the tide.”

Because of my play style, there were a lot of people who considered the war situation I deliberately produced as a dramatic reversal.

Well, thanks to that, it was not bad because it was popular as a game that made my hands sweat during my career as a player.

“Then what about with me?”

“If I had gone that way, I would have lost naturally.

“Hahaha. That’s right.”

Seeing as a third person is different from doing it yourself.

At the time, I couldn’t really find a moment to invest in his chances of winning. This is because the game, which seemed close until the middle of the game, had already quietly tilted to win.

“…so this time I’m just investing in my chances of winning.”

[-Ah…, the game has finally been finalized due to excessive play.]

[- I’m sorry. Seoji Han player.]

And that investment comes back at risk, making the defeat quicker.

Close-up of me leaning on a chair with the camera closed. I said, listening to the voices of the commentators evaluating the match.

“Still, I have no regrets, because that was my best decision.”

“…Hmm, as expected.”

“What is it anyway?”

“No. If it had been a casual play, I would have been a little disappointed in myself.”

“Who’s taking the medicine…? You’re the one who won, so why am I disappointed in you?”

“······ This match.”

He said, turning the video back to the beginning.

“It was the most difficult game in my professional life.”

“···ah.”

remembered I thought it was a familiar tension, but it was the feeling I had when I played the last game.

At that time, my play wasn’t a gamble. It was the best decision I made to win.

If I had proceeded with the match without making that judgment, it would have been evaluated as a close match, but I would have lost anyway.

‘That feeling right now.’

…and it will be like this again.

If you think calmly, the story of the game, ‘103rd Tower’, has just begun. Even so, if you give up already and choose the one with less risk, you will end up delaying the bad ending little by little.

Because this will happen in the future, and worse things may happen.

‘After all, it’s not in my temper to be dragged.’

Invest in possibilities

to win in the end.

…that was my way.

I looked at Noah Park with a somewhat relaxed mind.

“I think I was trying to be too safe.”

“Wait a minute. I’ll think about it.”

It was rather relaxed compared to back then.

Unlike back then, when I couldn’t stop tactics, judgment and play, even for a moment, I was able to focus on my thoughts now.

‘First of all, it takes about four hours to return to the Yoosung Academy from here.’

Even if you leave right now, you will arrive early in the morning. If so, the meteor academy must have already been occupied.

If the original route was followed, it would be the standard flow of defeating the middle boss, the final boss, and Arihan Hector one after another, but of course there must have been a change in the situation.

‘Then what variables can I intervene?’

Although the timing of the event has changed, the main reason for the great aftermath of the Necromancer’s attack is that it did not properly respond to the sudden surprise.

I am not Noah Park. So, unlike her, she had actions that only I could do.

‘…Involving elements that did not appear in the original.’

If so, there is still a chance. I took out my cell phone and then put it back in and got up from my seat.

“I’ve decided.”

“What are you going to do, Jihan? Are you going back?”

“No. I’m not going back. I can’t leave that alone.”

I looked at the dark smoke rising from the fourth point. If eroded land occurs near the boundary, the radius of activity is greatly hindered. Of course, it is an element that should be excluded for the second half.

“We carry on the quest.”

“Then what about the Yoosung Academy?”

“Let’s leave that to him.”

Noah Park nodded as if he had agreed with that. She asked as she watched me pack her backpack.

“But why are you carrying your luggage?”

“Noah. Do you like thrills?”

“any?”

“Well then.”

It was my mistake in the first place to stick to the safe way on hardcore difficulty. There was one trick to solve this situation, but I ignored it.

I carried my backpack and pointed to the monsters I could see at the bottom of the hill.

“I’m going to go down the hill now and join the march.”

“···What?”

When Noah Park was startled, she smiled and said.

“Isn’t that the best solution? Going to the 4th base, reducing the number of monsters.”

Park Noah looked at me with a confused expression and then smiled.

“Well, there must be no other way to solve it.”

Having said that, I lifted up Lian Arwell, and I also pulled out the engine blade that was attached to my waist.

And at the same time, I pushed my feet toward the slope.

‘This is what happened.’

·················· Cleared everything as if it were purple.
