Ascyaf O Vivid: The VRMMORPG Story

Chapter 12: Hello

Akuji's brain came to a halt for a moment, how could he find a person he didn't even know his name? Wouldn't that just be the same as looking for a needle in a haystack?

 

"What's wrong?"

 

"Nothing" Akuji replied as if nothing had happened. "Before that, who are you looking for, Old Man?"

 

"Don't I tell you he's the one who gave you that hair tie?"

 

"Well, I'm just making sure. You wouldn't know that maybe it's just something similar, would you?"

 

"I'm sure my eyes won't misjudge anything" Blaise said. Thwarted Akuji's attempt to find out the name of the supervisor even though it did not change his face much.

 

"Don't blame me if it turns out your eyes are myopic and misrecognize it." I tried to test the tears before his eyes lit up. "Ah, if that's the case, then just kill me to let go of your frustration."

 

"That's not going to happen" Blaise smiled.

 

Blaise does not understand and does not want to understand Akuji's obsession about death is really his obsession or his way of evading. After all, he knew that he would never kill Akuji. Didn't that just make him fulfill the young man's wish?

 

Furthermore, Blaise knew with Akuji's status of being a stranger, he would only return shortly afterwards. And Blaise didn't want to lose this clue she had.

 

It was not that he could not find the person alone, just that it would take time and if he stayed too long that person would probably only leave once Blaise's arrival was known.

 

"Alright, alright," Akuji said in a tone as if he would believe that and started walking as he opened the map.

 

Hiding the uneasy feeling that this quest he received would run longer than he expected, Akuji began to search for which direction the Magic Association was in with the help of a map. He was just trying to find the supervisor at the location they met and wished he was still there, moreover he himself had affairs in the magic tower.

 

Since the map system in Vivid can only be used after the player has a map of the area or repeatedly browsing it, the player can only use it, Akuji was grateful he got a map of Leszl City from the system to immediately know its current location or he would just go around in circles ever since he never set foot where it appeared.

 

The crowd of players remained dense as usual. Even if some players have left after the level is enough, new players will only replace them and make this density like it never recedes.

 

Akuji saw some bodies falling asleep on the benches by the roadside, was it the player who logged out and did not head to the inn?

 

Well, he cared too much about it since the protection system in Vivid was not at all weak to allow others to play around with the bodies of players who logged out. If that happens it will only be a big problem especially for the female players.

 

... Although either the same applies to the Item in the storage bag.

 

Not waiting for long, the magic tower, where the Magic Association was located was visible in Akuji's eyes before they immediately entered.

 

This place was more bustling than before, but not as crowded as the Union of Paying Soldiers since it was the training ground of the Sword Master Skill Tree, the basic skill tree of the sword that was the most popular weapon as well as where the hunting mission was mounted.

 

"Are you sure that person is in this place?" ask Blaise doubtfully. Looking at the young man to know if he was just taking him around.

 

"We met here." Akuji said, no matter how Blaise would present his words. Entering the magic tower without much hesitation, Akuji saw Blaise remain in his place before asking, "You didn't enter Old Man?"

 

"Bring her here, son, I'll wait there" Blaise pointed at a cafe after pondering for a moment. His identity might soon be revealed when he went inside, instead of it being a big deal, he just wanted to avoid the commotion that would arise.

 

 

"It's time to go."

 

... He only wanted to run away after feeling that Blaise was really just leaving him alone.

 

Quest from Blaise? He doesn't care at all! Since he himself was forced to accept the quest, why would he have to put in so much effort to complete it in the first place? Responsibility? Whatisit?

 

Akuji smiled loosely, walking a little to see the detailed floor plan of the magic tower to fill in the gaps on the map. He only received a map of Leszl City —from the system— in a rough form that he could understand immediately as it might be connected with reasons such as city security for the residents. It would only feel scary if a detailed map of a region was shared for free.

 

The plan itself is also like that since it only covers the first to third floors along with several training fields that are indeed open to the public, while other places are kept secret.

 

Seeing a small door on the third floor that was connected to the stairs to get out, Akuji decided to head there. Unlike the main door that can receive a large flow of traffic, this ladder itself may act more as a back door or something. He himself might have missed it if he didn't look carefully.

 

Walking smoothly since there were only a few people passing by, he immediately went up to the third floor. Akuji felt that the third floor of this magic tower was a library ever since he saw the many books lined up neatly in shelves and this floor was quite quiet.

 

He himself only saw that some of the players who came were curious or underworked, while others came to learn the branch of skill support tree type advanced skill type magic type, Tree Skill Wizard.

 

The unpopularity of the support type skill branch of the Tree Skill Wizard itself might take the role for this since players only needed to go to the training field to learn the attack type skill. And coupled with players needing to unlock one skill after another in addition to the skill tree obtained from the practice quest, few players would be willing to waste their time on it if they felt that skill was useless.

 

Akuji's main goal in coming to the magic tower himself was to learn those useless skills since he saw them in the forum.

 

Quest from Blaise? Again, he never took it so seriously.

 

With the current highest level of players, Level 138, all of the skills in the skill tree were known from Tier 1 to Tier 3, although not all of them had complete details.

 

Taking out a theory book about witches, Akuji read it for a moment before a prerequisite quest to unlock the skill appeared. Contains tips to read the book for a total of 24 hours before the skill he wants will open.

 

Mana Bank, that was the name of the skill that Akuji wanted, a passive skill with the effect of increasing the total mana. Akuji thought that he needed this ever since he had fought with mana that was severely lacking and could not use Mana Recharge before.

 

Towards the officer who became the librarian, Akuji borrowed a copy of this book by showing his member card.

 

'This kind of member card is really useful as Charista said, ' Akuji thought. Thanks to the card he did not need to go back and forth here to be able to read the book.

 

Saving the book and leaving from that place, Akuji left as fast as he could towards the exit however ...

 

"Hello."

 

... He can say hello stiffly seeing the person in front of him.

With her long black hair flowing gently alongside her golden eyes, Akuji would not forget that person let alone the first impression she gave. He was the one who helped the players complete the difficult training quest (?) and the one who gave him this hair tie, the watchman of the day.

 

Not that he was unhappy to have found it so easily, he also wanted to thank her for this hair tie helped him a lot. However, to see it in this place ...

 

"Whether I'm lucky or not now."

 

... Akuji who doesn't know what to do can only murmur lowly.
