Chapter 75 - PROGRESS IN THE TOURNAMENT AND WEIRD NAME BEING GIVEN (1/2)
「They called it the official cheat avatar. It’s already the main topic in the BBS.」 (Tobi)
Seems like Tobi took a look at the BBS while he was logging out. He came to give us information as soon as the match was over.
Riizu and Selene-san also stood up from their seats, we were currently standing on a pathway talking.
Of course, the topic was about the Grado emperor we just fought.
Level 100, he was able to use skills regardless of his job, and that abnormal MP recovery speed, they were all aberrant abilities after all…
Even that 『Raging Flame』 casting time, it was extremely short compared to when its main job, mage, used it.
If this game had all chat, it would probably have turned really bad by now…
「In the BBS, they used his strength as a base for the other NPCs, and they thought that if they couldn’t defeat the demon army with such strength, just how strong are demons then? They were in such a discussion-」 (Tobi)
「But, shouldn’t that emperor be a special case? Even if we say he’s strong, in war, if the numbers are uneven it’s meaningless, isn’t the premise quite weird?」 (Hind)
「Umu. If people like him were common, there would be no reason for players to exist, right!?」 (Yumir)
「I also think that way. After all, that discussion went into a weird direction…」 (Tobi)
Thinking about it, the imperial soldiers guarding the border were around level 30.
The soldiers protecting the royal palace in Sala were around level 25, and the commanding officer for the imperial guards was level 35.
It’s a setting where it would be pretty bad if players could commit acts of violence against NPCs.
In order to fight said NPCs, it’s made so that it’s only possible if both sides agree to a duel.
「However, the commanding officer for the mercenaries in the caravan was level 50 right, Hind-san?」 (Riizu)
「You are right. That’s how commanding officers are, so I believe they are a special case.」 (Hind)
「The funds of the national security is low in Sala, so the soldiers are not that skilled, so if we used that as a base and thought about the commanding officers in other countries…they would be as high as level 60? If we follow this trend.」(Selene)
「Well, at the very least, they wouldn’t be level 100.」(Hind)
To summarize, normal people and merchants would be around level 10 and a trained soldier would be around level 30.
A commanding officer would be above level 50 and when I took a look at the BBS, if I remember correctly, the general of the Beli Confederation should have been level 70.
There’s no doubt that said general is also special, so it does prove further just how abnormal that emperor is though.
「However, the emperor’s behavior was special during Hind-dono and Yumir-dono’s match.」 (Tobi)
「Special? How so?」 (Hind)
「I took a quick look at the other matches he filled in for, but those matches all ended with one side being at a clear disadvantage.」 (Tobi)
「I mean, that should have just been a coincidence. Since Yumir was immediately revived right after she became incapacitated, he was probably slightly thrown off by that timing. He was probably planning to finish the match at that point too?」 (Hind)
「I get the feeling that it wasn’t only that…no, it’s probably just my imagination. Forget about it.」 (Tobi)
「?」 (Hind)
I get the feeling it was just a matter of me being a Shinto priest and being able to revive people.
However, in the end, Tobi didn’t tell me what he found strange.
Oh, now that we are talking about the emperor, all of us thought that…it was just a surprise prepared by the developers.
It felt like staring at a huge tornado far away.
「Gununu…I want to get my revenge against that emperor one day. I feel like we completely lost.」 (Yumir)
「Even if you say that, I wonder when we’ll get closer to level 100, though.」 (Riizu)
「We definitely can’t win in our current state, after all. He didn’t look like he was fighting seriously, it would be difficult even if we challenge him as five.」 (Hind)
「You are right…ah, Tobi-kun! More importantly, are you fine on time? Isn’t your next match soon?」 (Selene)
Selene-san opened her menu and checked the time.
She hurriedly opened the tournament bracket and amplified it so she could show it to us, the time was already…
「Hiiiiii!? This is bad, there’s only 1 minute left!! Ah, there are already 3 people standing in the arena…thank you, Selene-dono! I’m going!」 (Tobi)
「G-Good luck…」 (Selene)
「Do your best.」 (Hind)
Tobi started running and looked as if he would trip and fall, and he apologized to Mitsuyoshi-san, who had arrived at the arena.
Seems like he managed to get there before the match started, so the match began without any issues.
The venue was enveloped in cheers.
「Nevertheless, I’m a bit tired…once Tobi’s match ends, shall we log out for a bit?」 (Hind)
