Returner of the Colosseum

＜ Episode 69. Playing Coach (4) ＞

After that day, the education of Go Geon-ha, Mo Yong-ak, and Kairosia began in earnest.

Anyway, the theoretical part will be taught during Aserian’s class.

I only had to fill in the parts related to stats and how to fight.

“Unlike the world you lived in, here you can be infinitely strong. Because the system is calibrated.”

So, the first training I did was, of course, the muscular body training.

“If you train while wearing the curse set, your stats will rise much faster. This allowed the gang of four to quickly become stronger. Of course, being faster and stronger doesn’t necessarily mean winning, but at least you can get an advantage.”

“yes.”

“yes.”

nod

“So, Mo Yong-Ak and Go Geon-Ha will be training together with the players who came in as second riders. Mr. Joo Chang-beom, please take good care of these two.”

“Yes, bro. Do not worry!”

The education of Mo Yong-ak and Go Geon-ha was almost intended to be left to the four members.

Anyway, since the two of them have the basics of weapons, they only need to teach them how to train and the rules of this place.

Even so, there was one reason why I said I was managing it.

‘We have to make them so that they can melt into each other.’

Problems could have arisen if they were sent under a four-sided room, such as Changbeom or Zig.

In the room of four, Mo Yong-ak and Goh Geon-ha, who have just joined, are stronger than them, so they may become jealous, and the two may become dissatisfied because they have to treat someone weaker than them as seniors.

That’s why I tried to eliminate the conflict between the three of them by managing them myself.

But my worries were for nothing.

“I have been holding a sword for about 15 years. But still, on the same level as me…”

“Hey, has it been 15 years? I got a sword for the first time since I came here. It’s only been nine months.”

“That makes it even more disappointing. What were my 15 years of time for…”

“Ah, Mo Yong-ak hyung can become strong soon. We will help you.”

On the contrary, the gang of four meticulously helped Mo Yong-ak and Ko Geon-ha to adapt well, such as training together or sparring.

Thanks to this, Goh Kun-ha and Mo Yong-ak’s training went smoothly.

all that’s left now

“…”

It was only Kairosia, who was staring blankly at me, wearing a basic leather armor set that didn’t suit her.

after.

‘My head hurts.’

From that day on, there was no such thing as Kairosia talking badly to others, but at the same time, her talkativeness also decreased.

He just kept his back straight with a cold expression on his face.

So I was just hanging around me, not even among other people.

‘Tsk. I have no choice but to take better care of it.’

Because you can’t lose a precious point supply source.

Leaving Sabangang, Go Geon-ha, and Mo Yong-ak behind, who were training to the fullest, I took Cairosia to the newly built fitness center.

It was what I asked to build a new one as it was needed when I was educating Cairosia.

It was because the other players couldn’t concentrate on training because they were staring at her appearance.

“What are you doing?”

Kairosia’s voice sharpened when she was alone with me.

“Cairosia-sama has to train in a different way than those two.”

“…?”

“In the Colosseum, there are team battles, but the ratio of individual to individual battles is overwhelming. That’s why I have to do a lot of individual combat training, especially close combat.”

nod

“By the way, Kairosia-sama seems to have no experience in close combat. It seems that you mainly used magic bombardment towards multiple enemies from the rear, is that correct?”

“Because that was the role of a wizard.”

I nodded at Kairosia’s words.

Wizards are like tactical weapons in modern times.

In a way, it was natural, since there were very few cases where missiles were dropped to kill a single enemy.

But this is the Colosseum.

Magicians for tactical use are not needed here.

‘That’s why a hybrid called a battle mage was born.’

After dealing with her yesterday, I realized it clearly.

There was only one reason why such an existence could not make a name for itself and died in the first playthrough.

that’s right

‘Melee combat is too weak.’

No matter how much magic can be bombarded, it is the same to die if hit by a sword.

That’s why the weight of defense is high in air defense balance.

By the way, she’s an attack savage type.

There was a very high chance of dying in an unexpected place.

“You must have come here because you have a wish to come true.”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Cairosia raised her eyes, asking what kind of obvious question she was asking.

“Then shouldn’t we survive? How about it, if someone came this close, would you be able to survive?”

“Go, don’t come any closer!”

As I approached her nose, she dropped the crane and backed away.

I couldn’t help but tilt my head because I didn’t know that I would react so sensitively to what I did to give an example.

“…?”

“Hmm, hmm. I would like you to be more polite when dealing with ladies.”

She cleared her throat, perhaps knowing that she had reacted too sensitively.

‘under. It’s not easy.’

Before, I wouldn’t have cared whether Kairosia died or not, but now I was in a position where I felt very sorry.

Because he was a player who could rise to a higher league, perhaps even higher.

“Anyway, the point is you have to get used to one-on-one fighting, right?”

“yes.”

“Then why did you bring me here? Isn’t it right to train at the old training ground?”

Kairosia’s eyes were still full of vigilance.

He seemed anxious about something, but at times like this, there was a solution.

‘It’s just rolling.’

I realized why Aserian seemed to be in a particularly good mood during hell training.

When I thought about replacing the Kairosia, I smiled involuntarily.

The situation where I was getting a little stressed out because of her attitude.

I need to roll it properly this time.

“If you want to do one-on-one, you have to build your body first.”

“What does that have to do with your body?”

“Going back to the previous story, if someone throws a sword at such a close distance. Can you stop it?”

“You can use the protection magic.”

Hey hey profit!

At her reply, I suddenly extended my fist and stopped right in front of her nose.

Her silver hair fluttered a little in the wind that my fist raised.

“…!”

Cuckoo, cuckoo.

Surprised by the sudden attack, Kairosia froze with her mouth open.

I raised my fist and asked again.

“Let me ask you again. can stop Will you?”

“······no.”

okay.

I have to answer quickly like this.

“So that’s the answer.”

I smiled leisurely and handed her the gas mask.

“…?”

“First, let’s build physical strength.”

The hellish training I did.

I wanted to let her experience it too.

* * *

Middle class god Ludiac was in a really good mood these days.

It was because Ren made a huge jackpot, and thanks to him, he was able to escape from a cliff.

And there.

‘Recently, Earth players are doing very well.’

People from the Earth, who died just by exporting them, were surviving one after another and growing rapidly.

This was all thanks to the dimensional perks that were plus 10%.

Thanks to this, Ludiac, who became a big fan of Ren, was busy following Ren by buying masks for players from Earth and wearing black robes.

―Wow, who is that player? Is this the second Ren? The sense is very good.

―hahahahaha, as for the nickname. He really looks like Ren because he is wearing a costume and even a mask. Let’s see… Oh, here it is. You were a player who used the nickname ‘Ahn Woo-jung’ not too long ago. I thought it was a nickname I had never seen before. They looked precarious in the previous game, but in today’s game they have plenty of room.

―Yes, the moment I speak! Killing two players again…

‘Certainly has good sense.’

Ludiac clenched his fists as he watched Ahn Woo-jung play.

I thought I would fall into the abyss by losing all the top league players.

Even in the team’s indomitability, buds were growing up without knowing it.

The one who stands out especially these days is Ahn Woo-jung.

‘He always has his eyes full of miasma.’

Ludiac preferred players who were under such evil.

It was because I knew from experience that such guys grow up quickly even if they are well fertilized.

Coincidentally, the number of points held is not enough, so it is overflowing.

I thought of taking this opportunity to raise the team once again, centering on Ahn Woo-jung.

‘Allow the items to be usable. Oh right, I’ll have to hire a good Trainer Angel too.’

Skills could not be overlooked either.

I wanted to make lightning shoot out from my whole body like Ren did, but I couldn’t find the lightning attribute because it was rare.

But just in time, the flame-related skills were lined up.

Ludiac imagined flames burning all over his body while wearing a black robe and a white mask.

‘Dogs are cool!’

Tring!

[I purchased ＜Skill Book: Incarnation＞ for 3,850,000 G.]

[I purchased ＜Skill Book: Fire Dragon’s Rage＞ for 3,000,000 G.]

[Purchase ＜Skill Book: Flame King＞ for 4,770,000 G…]

When he remembered that scene, he unconsciously pressed the purchase button.

Each skill book was very expensive, but not to the extent that they could not afford it.

More than anything, Ludiac hoped to have a player like Ren on his team.

That’s why the price of the skill book was expensive, but he bought it without hesitation.

‘Good. This should be enough.’

Coincidentally, Ahn Woo-jung came out after winning the game, so Ludiac grabbed him and handed him the skill book as a reward for victory.

“thank you. I will definitely go up to the Transcendence League.”

“Keep in mind that I have a great stake in you, and always be diligent.”

“yes.”

Ahn Woo-jung’s eyes as he answered were filled with miasma.

* * *

“How are the new recruits?”

Lunch hour.

I put my fork down at the question of Aserian sitting in front of me.

“Not bad. Mo Yong-ak and Go Geon-ha were already fully adapted to the atmosphere. If you play right now, you will get good enough results.”

At my answer, Aserian smiled brightly.

“I’m so glad. Actually, it’s good that named players came in, but I was worried about what if there was friction with other existing players. I am very grateful to Ahn Woo-jin-nim for leading me well.”

“Did I do anything? It’s thanks to the second jockey’s acceptance without prejudice.”

“Nevertheless. It wouldn’t have been easy if Ahn Woo-jin hadn’t arranged traffic well in advance. But if I, Peanut El, or Porodoel had stepped up and managed it, you might have thought that we would be discriminated against. It looks nice when my fellow player, An Woo-jin-nim, does it, but since he’s really busy…”

Aserian let out a sigh of relief.

You probably had a lot of worries.

It was so common for the team’s chemistry to be destroyed after picking a name.

People react sensitively to negative emotions, so I had to be especially careful.

“How is Cairosia? How are things going?”

“hmm······. I think I still need to improve a bit more. The defensive part is so weak. If we only supplement that, we will be able to aim for higher leagues right away.”

“It’s good. How about adapting to the farm?”

I rubbed my eyelids at Aserian’s question.

“It’s not easy. It’s like putting up a thick wall. Sometimes it shows an incomprehensible side.”

At my words, Aserian smiled.

It was a laugh that I don’t know what kind of emotion it was.

No, it seems a bit lonely.

“Please do well. Maybe it’s because there’s something wrong with it. From what I’ve heard, you went from a high-ranking aristocrat to a slave all at once, right? So it could be.”

“hmm.”

“There you go, it’s so pretty. How many humiliating things must have happened. Please take good care of me.”

At Aserian’s words, I nodded.

Because I know very well what you mean.

“Ah, there was news I had to tell you first, but it was too long. I got a call from Game Maker. They say that three platinum level skills are difficult.”

Aserian said regretfully.

‘I thought so.’

I didn’t have high expectations in the first place.

Asking for three skills like Shadow Mark was a really heartless request.

“okay.”

“Instead, Ahn Woo-jin-nim asked me if it was okay to upgrade three of my existing skills only for the Star Wars. What do you think?”

It upgrades the 3 skills you have…

At Aserian’s words, I tapped the table with my index finger.

Is that too vague?

How are you going to upgrade?

“That is too abstract. I think we need more detailed guidelines.”

When I hinted at my refusal, Aserian looked embarrassed.

“That… Ahn Woo-jin. I think you’d better just accept it.”

It was unexpected.

This is because Aserian rarely appeals to his opinion in this way.

“Why?”

“I think it’s because the game makers are protesting.”

“demonstration······?”

Then, Aserian sighed and exhaled.

“It has already been 10 weeks since we were promoted to a higher league. But the offers are still not coming in. Isn’t there something strange?”

“It’s a bit late.”

“I think it’s probably… I don’t think the game maker intends to put in an offer until An Woo-jin-nim accepts the star system match.”

“…!”
