Chapter 137: Weight of Leadership

A day later, the first party returned to the waiting room.

The results were not significant. I gathered information about the dungeon and also obtained useful items such as recovery stones. My accumulated stress levels have also been reduced, and I am motivated to move forward again.

I'll try revisiting it once I get the qualifications to use my personal character in the exploration dungeon.

I couldn't go to the beach. I walked for a while and got stuck.

Did you really see it?

Of course.

Eorca returned from the rift in her space, holding her fan and wearing a disapproving expression.

Apparently, you can't go beyond a certain area. The exploration dungeon is opened floor by floor, with each floor covering its own area. Apparently, you can access all areas once you reach the 100th floor.

But that was just a few days ago, right? I've already started to see faces I don't know.

About a week.

Huh? Has it been that long?

I nodded.

The stage and waiting room timings were different. This fact has been proven by several experiments.

As Eorca said, unseen heroes appeared in the space on the second floor.

I knew who they were. They were assistants to craftsmen in the field of equipment-making. They transported materials from the warehouse to the equipment manufacturing area.

You've officially reached the second floor.

It wasn't a bad change.

If the heroes on the first floor see someone going up to the second floor, it will be a great motivation for them. The same was true, and vice versa.

I looked up at the sky.

Anything was disconnected, and the night sky took on a faint earth tone. Judging from the color of the sky, it seems like it's already evening. After storing the spoils in the warehouse, we gathered again in the square.

Go and rest. We will meet at the practice field tomorrow morning.

Ah, it starts again tomorrow.

I'm going to go swimming now, sis!

Jenna and Eorka disappeared into the accommodation.

Aaron walked towards the training ground.

Where are you going?

Oh, that's right.

When I tell you to rest, please rest. Why do you keep wandering off? Do you want to ruin your body?

But, Hyung-nim

I said from tomorrow onwards. Go rest.

With his shoulders slouched, Aaron turned towards the lodging.

Ads by PubfutureI silently watched Aaron retreat.

.

After returning from the 15th floor, symptoms gradually worsened.

There were people like this in Niflheim who forgot about erosion and focused on training.

In most cases, the results were poor.

Simply increasing training time is not the solution. To increase efficiency, you need to balance training and rest.

Ideas like the staying power of anime didn't materialize here.

But if someone is lacking, it means they don't have talent.

I had no choice but to find another way. If you don't, you may die on the way.

Of course, there are cases where seemingly useless heroes suddenly realize their potential, but such cases are rare. There was only one such incident at Niflheimr.

From the next day on, life continued again.

After an early breakfast, the three members of Group 1 met up for training as usual. However, there was a change in the scenery at the practice field.

Faster! It's too late!

Yes and no!

Give your body more power.

Yes!

At the training ground, Edith and Asher get into a fight.

Both sides used real weapons. Each time Edith swung the dagger, it caused a gash on Asher's body. Despite the pain, Asher continued his attack.

Unexpected. Group 2 thought they avoided dangerous training.

Jenna, who was walking next to me, muttered.

It was true. Party 2, unlike us, did not participate in any training that involved drawing blood, although they spent a lot of time training. However, this approach has now changed.

There may have been a mental change.

Maybe it's because Dika isn't here.

Edith, Asher, and Roderick are in training camp.

Dika, one of the original members, was nowhere to be found.

Ah, now that I think about it, I'll ask.

Jenna stopped running and approached Roderick near the battle area.

Roderick stood with a serious look on his face, his spear in his hand. Jenna briefly exchanged a few words with him before returning to us. Jenna's face was also hard.

Dika went to the first floor.

Why?

Because he couldn't kill anyone.

The answer came from the site.

Ads by PubfutureEdith sharpened her dagger on the whetstone. Asher lay sprawled out in front of her, covered in blood.

Expected.

Dika's demotion was expected.

Dika couldn't recover from the shock of the 10th floor. Her talent was average, but her personality was fragile. Although he was able to deal with monsters, it seems that he could not fully demonstrate his abilities when fighting humans.

Instead of increasing the number of members, we reduced the number of members. Only three people can't go far. Therefore, we decided to intensify our training. It would be nice if the master could advance Summon.

But I don't think the captain will issue a summons.

Since the previous failure, Anytng has never executed a paid subpoena.

This was a suspicious symptom. It appears to masters who have lost a large amount of gems in advanced summons. People suffering from distrust of subpoenas were more likely to invest in equipment than to issue subpoenas.

Even if you are released with a summons, the facility will not release you.

It was one of the famous proverbs that was widely used.

I've had a lot of trouble with this before. I couldn't find a hero with 4 stars or higher.

Edith bit her lip nervously.

If this happens, you can ask our group.

master to return it.

I don't really want to go.

Then give up. There is no solution.

I said.

Either way, it was much better than dragging them away to see their lifeless bodies at the end.

It would be reassuring to know that the possibility of the master synthesizing Dika is low.

Edith, an experienced mercenary, also recognized the risks associated with weaker party members.

That's why she didn't ask the master to take Dika back.

It's not easy.

Edith left the training ground with a bitter smile.

As soon as Asher, who was covered in wounds, stood up, Roderick came to the training ground.

Asher gritted his teeth and gripped his sword. He watched his comrades get demoted. His resolve seemed stronger than ever.

Hmm, the smell of blood.

Eorca put her hand to her nose.

Jenna and Aaron looked serious, but they were muttering to themselves as if it were their own problem.

Magicians always surprise.

There's nothing you can do about stubborn thinking.

I smiled and continued training.
