Ascyaf O Vivid: The VRMMORPG Story

Chapter 5: Just Shoot

The humming sound resounded strongly in the training area, resonating with each other to make it appear very disturbing in the ears. However, not a single person present was disturbed, only hot air could be felt.

Whether it was the effect of the previous criticism, one thing is clear, the emotions of the players have changed. If previously they were confused, doubtful, and unsure, now their minds have been set with the simple words 'devil'.

They curse, whether it is addressed to themselves or others. In the absence of a clear point to shed their frustration, the flying balls became the only remaining targets. They, without a clear mind were just trying to hit the target. No need? Just launch another attack!

Even people who tried to think calmly were affected by this strange atmosphere, no exception to who it was, including Akuji. He attacks the balls that fly around him, whether they are in close or far distance. He just tried to attack quickly.

"How could I be so stupid" murmured Akuji. As the supervisor said, he thought too much.

Even if from the outside he looks calm, Akuji really feels annoyed from the bottom of his heart and at least, he knows to whom the vexation is aimed, himself. About how he who had been sidetracked due to the content of the Quest was far different from what Charista said. Even so, Akuji did not want to fall into the same hole again.

Putting aside all the turbidity in his heart, Akuji's mind focused on the goal that was right in front of his eyes, dropping this entire annoying target. Because he knew, what he needed to do was very simple, just act like how he usually acted. Just focus on the goal.

In line with how he wanted to know that 'death' and end up playing Vivid, Akuji had to pass this Quest in his path. He didn't hate it, because he knew the process was important.

However, contrary to the realization that appeared inside, Akuji's attacks became increasingly violent on the outside. The attacks that had been categorized as fast were now becoming faster and faster every second, but the attacks were now not only fast. Unlike how he started, just chasing speed because of emotion, now precision is present in each of his attacks. Every attack that Akuji launched precisely headed to the point where his target would be heading.

Making the other players forget about their circumstances and stop, watching the extreme shows he made. Because unlike previous supervisors who refrained from pushing them, Akuji did not care about any of it and just stared at his own goals no matter what.

And along with the fall of the last hovering target, a notification appeared before Akuji's eyes.

[Quest : Elementalist Training completed]

[The Elementalist Skill Tree was successfully learned.

The entire Tier 1 Skill within the Elementalist Skill Tree opened!]

Akuji smiled at this notice. He's succeeding. Making him immediately fall down and sit on the ground with gasps and fatigue that struck. Whether it was thanks to his sensitivity setting level or due to mental fatigue, Akuji did not know but he felt refreshed.

"Look at him, you can do it if you try enough, right?" the chirps of the supervisor, making another notification immediately appear before Akuji's eyes.

[Title 'Acknowledged Trainee' successfully obtained.

Increase 10 fame. The entire Basic Stat increased by 1 point. Earn 1 additional Skill Point]

However, this situation did not make Akuji rejoice.

"Damn! Wherever you look he's not a rookie, right?!"

"That's right, he must be a pro player!"

"I'm a rookie, you know" replied Akuji shamelessly denying the accusations.

"Then you must have played a lot of games!"

"I just found out about Vivid yesterday."

"Dirt."

The other players continued to curse at Akuji who thought he was lying with a straight face even though he was not. He hesitated whether to laugh or cry.

He's not lying! He just found out Vivid today!

"Well, I think that's enough. So ...." Looking over the registration sheet that was in his hands, the supervisor continued, "Akuji, are there anything you want to say to the others."

"Is there no gift for me?" akuji replied instantly, referring to the supervisor that he also belongs to the category of 'other'.

"Hahahaha, you're pretty funny. Even so I can't give you anything special to know."

"If that's all I think I can do" the supervisor said as he threw a hairband at Akuji. Simple hair tie consisting of two straps, but ....

"Isn't this too feminine?"

... I immediately pointed to the two black and white crescent-shaped ornaments that were at the ends of the two ropes, making them one.

"If you don't want to just give it back." The supervisor said. "It was mine from the beginning ."

"Rather than giving it back you can give it to me, man!" shouted another player. Thinking that the item had a good effect, even though Akuji knew it was not true.

[Balance

Attack :0 ❖ Defense :1

Type: Accessories

Weight: 0.05 kg

Durability: 18

Terms of Use: Recognized by previous owners

Hair ties that symbolize balance with the content in it, when Balance is used will reduce consumption and recovery of stamina (medium)

**This item cannot be sold]

Forget the basic stat that actually doesn't change anything. Since no item level has been defined by the system, it is the player himself who determines whether the Item falls into which category, good or not.

In this case, how useful was the stamina for the Elementalist Skill Tree? The answer is to get close to zero.

Even if some Elementalist Skills used stamina, stamina alone would recover quickly as players walked normally or even faster when they were silent. It was almost impossible for a player who used the Elementalist Skill Tree as his ultimate Skill Tree to exhaust their stamina like a melee warrior.

But—

"No, thank you." Akuji immediately rejected the offer as he started tying his hair, making one other Item equipped out of the sixteen available slots. He asked for this kind of thing not out of hope to obtain a hidden item or anything like that, purely just to tie his hair since he felt his unraveled hair was very uncomfortable for him.

"Damn! That must be a good item!"

"At least you can give me a little advice, right?"

"Then I have one" said Akuji, pulling the ears of all the players on the pitch. "Just shoot it till it hits!"

"You fuck!" Causing another curse to immediately fly wildly towards him.

Akuji walked leisurely towards the supervisor, passing through the curses to see the still-unknown supervisor just remain seated on the spot, watching the annoyed players. Maybe they are upset because they can not immediately complete their 'beginner' quest, but clearly they only increase with the success of —and Akuji's behavior that makes them not want to give up but only feel more upset.

"Is there anything else you want?" ask the supervisor without looking.

"No, I just want to know if there are any missions in the Magic Association or something?"

Making him get the look of the supervisor turned around with eyes that were storing something. "The Magic Association is not a place like it knows," the supervisor said. "Basically the Magic Association only gave identity to its members since some magicians only stayed in their homes for some how long it would last. Even if there was a request, it wouldn't be what you expected."

Sighing for a moment, he continued, "Since you (strangers) often ask such questions, go to the Workers' Association or the Paid Army Union. You will be able to find the request you expect there."

"Well, thank you," greeted Akuji before leaving the practice area immediately.
