Ascyaf O Vivid: The VRMMORPG Story

Chapter 4: The Mission of Beginners

Is the quest too difficult? The answer is clearly visible—

"What the fuck?!"

"Hey! At least make this a little youngare you—"

"Dirt!"

The sounds of protests and curses continued to be heard for a while before finally subsiding and being replaced with a depressed air since they knew even if they protested it would be meaningless or it might just make the contents of the quest getting harder.

'This quest is too difficult!' thought most of the players on the Elementalist side, not the entire cast were present.

The content of the Quest was indeed simple, only dropping the flying target in that training area by a hundred times. Right, that's if the word 'only' can really be applied.

Looking at the reminders in the quest panel, players realize that the intended target is moving quickly and in order to keep it away they must certainly attack the target. What attacks did players at level 0 have? Of course, basic attacks.

And to make things all the more difficult (or easy?), base attacks with your own grimore weapon like a bow or shotgun, which fires projectiles (?) so it can be done remotely but requires some degree of accuracy. Merely, the speed of the magic projectile from the grimore and magic device need not be mentioned, SLOW!

Even players with bow guns and shotguns need time to be able to attack effectively with silent targets. More than that, players here still needed to chase targets considering their basic attack range was not as far as bows or rifles.

Were they able to hit that fast target with their attacks? No, some of the more pessimistic players even wondered if their attacks would be able to hit the target? Most of the players who chose to study the Elementalist Skill Tree felt their heads throb while the rest tried to think optimistically. One thing was for sure, the easier time was felt by players who chose to take the Tree Skill Battle Mage because they did not need to think about all that!

With ******** relieved by the players on the other side, the group of players split into the training area designated for them. With Veiz alone leading the Battle Mage group, Akuji and the others are left behind by who knows to watch over them.

"It seems better for you guys to get to the practice area immediately." A voice came as a surprise to the player who was still confused. Looking at who the voice came from, another big question mark immediately appeared in the players mind.

With black hair, a pretty face with golden eyes and a well-proportioned body, she was a figure that people would usually soon realize her existence. Yeah, usually because no one knows who or even knows where he is before he speaks.

Ignoring the whisperings, he immediately demanded the remaining group of players head to the training area, not interested in introducing himself.

The training area itself was quite vast, and with no more than fifty players present, this place was increasingly isolated from the world let alone with the depressed air enveloping the players. Make them freeze.

Waiting for a while and not a single player had moved yet, the supervisor sighed.

"I think you're still confused by the exercises you're given." The supervisor suddenly sighed, stepping forward into the middle of the field. And ...

"start."

... Some of the balls flew away quickly after the word fell. Not only were the balls fast, they could even maneuver freely in the air with their little wings buzzing.

But the supervisor did not look at the wildly flying balls around him. He only looked at the mass-produced grimore by the Magic Association for a practice who knew when it was taken, and immediately started firing magic projectiles from the grimore in his hand.

The gunshot is heard. A quick shot that was even difficult to see when he drew a pattern before firing his attack. What one could see now was just a crazy shot that paid no heed to the slightest accuracy.

However, the crazy tempo soon changed. The crazy shots stopped being replaced with very regular flashes of light. Each magic projectile released precisely headed in which direction its target would move.

Until he finally stopped. What is visible now is not the extreme speed or precision before, let alone talk about speed or accuracy, were those two things there in the first place? The answer is as clear as day, no. What he does can only be called in one word, stupidity.

He drew a pattern that he would somehow do before releasing it in chaotic time. Showing the biggest reason why the basic attacks of grimore were slow, because even their basic attacks were classified as 'magic'.

All magic requires preparation, it is the basic law of Vivid and the same applies to the basic attack of grimore. Even if the basic attacks did not have the casting time like a skill, they required action to make the attack happen.

If the sword needs to be swung to attack, then for a grimore, 'painting' a certain pattern in the air is required. Like how a sword can be swung quickly or powerfully, the drawn pattern will also affect the form of the outgoing attack.

And the attack that he, that watchdog is doing now is the dumbest form of stupidity. Painted. Paint all the possible patterns and spit them out at the same time to produce a powerful attack, an attack that was enough to fill the area he was referring to. Stupid attacks can however take down the remaining targets that are there.

Pu's.

Until finally the soft closed grimore voice ended it, ending a great show and leaving only the place with a silent silence. The place was now completely silent, the entire buzzing sound on the ground was abating, a sign that the entire target had fallen.

"As you can see, you really don't need to think too much about this kind of practice, do you?" his critics were scathing, paying attention to the concerns this group had experienced from the start. "After all, it's just a beginner's practice."

As if piercing the exact point with his words, the group of players would open their mouths, exploding but soon being cut off.

"You might think that to drop that useless ball you have to shoot it hard. But how can it be like that? You know that you will know the answer when you try it but why is it that none of you are trying to get started? Basically you just have to try, that's all."

"...."

"Or maybe you think too much? Then why don't you think about the obvious. The cost required for this kind of tool was definitely not small, and the Magic Association, no, was, whoever it is will not be willing to spend all their money for who knows if it will be useful or not, right?

"In essence, if you don't take any steps, then what will happen? In the end, no matter how strong or clever you are, without acting it is useless. But as you can see, even the dumbest attacks will work if you try.

"Or is it true Veiz said that you're losers?"

"OF COURSE NOT!" shouted a player with a red face extinguished, angry at all the words he, the supervisor said.

"Then it's so simple. Prove to me that you can at least get through this beginner practice." She smiled, making her beautiful face even more charming but not with her words.

"Loser."
