75 – The Mysterious Master

Handicap Theory.

This theory, advocated by the Israeli zoologist Amots Zahavi, provides a clue to solving the irrational paradox seen in the natural world.

Have you ever seen a Duke’s feathers?

One of the characteristics of male Dukes is their beautiful feathers, which are of no help to survival, and are full of elements that will make them vulnerable to their enemies. According to the heartless principles of nature, it is impossible for such absurdities to be passed down through generations in an ecosystem that is nothing short of pandemonium.

This is the basic providence of evolution that we commonly know.

However, while accepting the evolutionary theory of survival of the fittest, we must also accept the existence of Dukes, which can be easily seen in zoos. At first glance, this is a huge contradiction.

As Amots Zahavi explains in his Handicap Theory:

Look, female Dukes!

I, Chirp, survived in this natural world with such colorful feathers and decorations. I don’t need to explain how strong I am, right?

So, give me your cloaca.

Yes.

The best way to court a female is to prove your strength.

Leaving human society, it is common for males in the top 5% to monopolize females, and the top 5% are individuals who have proven their strength. Duke feathers are a great way to prove that you are a victor over the fierce competition for survival.

Now, back to the story of the game.

A fierce competition for survival, incomparable to the real wild, is taking place inside the monitor. Gamchang is basically a hunger for approval.

I can’t help it. Reality doesn’t acknowledge us….

Other users would think like this if a manlap swordsman snooping around the arena wearing the full plate of the sun and the round shield of Gaia who completed the full river.

‘It’s dog food.’

From a gamer’s point of view, a character wrapped in heinous items is the epitome of a coward who doesn’t deserve to enter the men’s club.

However, what if a bald warrior wearing a nekomimi headband and a summer school maze, a cash item that requires gacha to reach the ceiling, apply for PVP?

Savvy gamers will go into hyper-concentration mode lamenting today’s bad luck.

This principle works even in non-online game legend routes.

[I broke through the cave of Akkad with Maren, how was it?]

[We will give you the title of 5/100 Dog f*ck]

N[What do I need to add here to get out of the cockpit?]

N [Hidden use -50, Strong item -15, Companion recruitment -20, Reputation -10]

[This is a clear spec for a dead person, but I woke up sweet with Bosam Ham, rusty dagger, goggles for summer school, light swimming cap, and wings of aegyo.]

N[ㅆㄴ This is possible. If a male character wears aegyo wings, aren’t their specs down?]

Non [Myeongseong and favorability are also low hahahaha So it’s a deceased person.]

Non [This person even took laxatives here and cleared it lol]

[Don’t try this at home]

The effect of the ‘Ring of Tradition’ was clear. I possessed the same character I had fostered, Rollo Hewitt. Well, since I was already possessed by the person named John, the possession itself wasn’t strange, but….

“Rice, pervert… !!!”

The problem is that even the equipment possessed. I was working hard on my form, but I realized belatedly that Rollo’s equipment was rare entertainment equipment. Is this what it is?

“Who are you!?”

Sierra steps in front of me, showing a sharp alertness as if she had a thorn in it.

Looking at her eyes, she didn’t seem to notice that I was John at all. It deserves it. Since her body has completely changed, it would be unreasonable to recognize her even when she is John Barrage. I don’t know if I have eyes to see the soul.

“Yes… ? That nod…. Could it be John?”

No, did I underestimate Sierra?

How the heck do you guess people by nodding their heads?

“Oh, isn’t it? His body shape and smell are definitely not Yohan’s….”

Confused Sierra.

Lir and Ellie approach her.

“How did this happen~? Who are you!? Where is John… ?”

Ellie also couldn’t find her composure. At least Cain was the coolest person in the group. He’s the least connected with me, and the most veteran.

Cain slowly steps out in front of the group. Her vigilance itself stands tall like the other kids, but there is little confusion in her eyes. I think I’ve finished worrying about what questions to ask me. For now, let’s focus on Cain.

“Hello. An unknown prosecutor. My name is Cain. I am a mercenary.”

“……I am Lolo Hugh..”

As I was about to say my name, I hesitated for a moment. Because Rollo Hewitt is a student at the academy. This is the same for all other playable characters.

Well, to be honest, Rollo isn’t as famous as Bornza Borg, and there’s nothing wrong with calling him a person with the same name, but there’s no reason for him to spill clues in strange places.

Let’s use pseudonyms here.

“It’s Reut.”

Rollo Hewitt, Reut for short.

Even when I think about it, the lack of sense pierces the sky.

“Dear Reut…. May I call you?”

“As convenient as possible.”

“Miss Sierra. That voice, where do you think you heard it?”

“Huh? What?”

“I think there must have been a guy with a voice like that among my male classmates. Miss Sierra, does anyone have a straw?”

“I don’t know a man other than John’s voice.”

“Isn’t that a bit harsh….”

Ellie, with her wide feet, caught her eye. She is lucky If I had named him the real Rollo Hewitt, I would have been in big trouble.

“Mr. Reut. Have you ever seen a tall young man? It’s our colleague. He is a very handsome young man that is hard to forget once you see him.”

Cain asked John whereabouts. How to answer here….

Option 1

‘Actually, I’m Johann!’ And cancels the effect of the ring of lore. It’s a way that you don’t have to rack your brains and come up with excuses. However, it is clear that the aftermath cannot be easily dealt with.

You have to explain the item that crosses the wall of the fourth dimension called the ‘Ring of Legend’, and then you have to tell them that this world is based on a game. It is a bonus to be treated as a pervert walking around in purple panties outdoors.

No matter how you think about it, it’s a bad way. Of course this is discarded.

Option 2

The passing color of absolute adherence.

‘John? Oh, that blond, nice, handsome, tall, talented, big-cheeked young man? I took her out of the dungeon safely.’

‘You made it through the exit without defeating the boss? Is that possible?’

‘hahahaha! If I can’t do that, who will call me a master?’

It’s roughly evasive like this. Johann Baker will still remain a healthy young man with the right fetishes, and the monster in purple panties will become an absolute adherent with a bit more of a mind.

‘Isn’t that bad?’

Originally, aren’t all the world’s strongest people eccentric?

Sarah’s father, Ralph Leoris, is a Roto Chess otaku, and Lire’s teacher, Calondo, is also severely hairy according to the setting.

So, it might not be so strange that the passing super master is a swimsuit fetish exhibitionist.

Good. Let’s go with this.

“Hmm! The young man’s name was John. Calm down. I brought him out safely. It looked bad.”

“Really!?”

Sierra sat down on the spot with a voice of relief. Tears flow from her eyes. You were very worried.

I’m sorry.

“There are no problems with your safety, so don’t worry too much.”

“Thank God!”

Ellie and Lire also look relieved. It’s a bonus that I’m aware that I’m not the enemy, and my guard is relaxed.

However, it is not completely solved. My costume has a bit of a high entry barrier to completely put my mind at ease.

I admit it.

“Mr. Reut. Excuse me, can I ask you a question?”

One of her companions, Cain, who was still calm, looked at me and asked. A question as sharp as a veil is likely to come. The answer here is to just disappear without accepting it, but….

‘This is quite interesting!’

Since she is doing high quality with a cheap coriander look, a tickling pleasure springs from her buttocks. He desperately gripped the corners of his lips, which twitched uncontrollably.

Maybe I’ve awakened to a new fetish?

No, think about it.

I’m wearing a costume that looks like I’ll get slapped on both sides of my cheeks even if I go out with Jesus, but the person in front of me looks at me nervously as if he’s met a tough boss.

All of my subordinates are in neat suits, but I feel like I entered the conference room wearing a simple mountaineering suit.

I completely rule this space!!!!

That’s right, the thought boils in my head. This can’t be fun.

“What are you so curious about?”

“I am confident that my skills are mediocre, but my experience is not small. From my point of view, defeating that golem singlehandedly is at least as good as a sword master. If you’re a person of such skill, there’s no way your reputation won’t spread, so it’s okay to ask your ‘true name’…”

GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO!!!

A loud roar interrupts Cain. It’s the sound of the ceiling collapsing. When the top and bottom of the golem supporting the ceiling separated and lost its function as a pillar, the collapse started again.

“We are dangerous!!!”

Ellie screams while staring at the ceiling.

Everyone’s face is filled with momentary despair.

“Mana slash.”

Lightly brush the air with a rusty sword. It was a sword that was thrown into the air without properly holding the feet or posture. It is only natural that he did not pay attention to the collapsing ceiling.

Even without such cumbersome preliminary moves, the skill that took the full lap does its job well enough.

Suddenly!

The sky becomes half. No, the ceiling to be exact.

The profoundness hidden in simplicity divides the layers of hundreds of millions of years in half. It’s like taking something out of your pocket to recreate a feat that’s worse than slicing a giant golem.

Kukukukukkung!

The collapsing ceiling cut straight to the left and right and missed us precisely. Even shards of bouncing rocks do not reach us. Only the tingle in the eardrums given by the thick dust and roar tells us that we have passed the worst crisis of becoming minced meat.

“……”

There are no screams from the children. No, their absurd expressions were more than screaming. Even that calm Cain pinched my cheeks as if it was hard to believe what she saw with her own two eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

“You should correct your question. It’s more than a sword master. If so, the options would be far fewer…. I really don’t know who you are.”

Those who are sword master or higher can be counted on five fingers even if they search the entire continent. However, the name Rollo Hewitt is not there.

“I am Reut. I don’t have the mindless hobby of making a pseudonym.”

I do exposure outdoors.

“…As expected, the world is wide and there are many masters. I never thought I would meet such a master here.”
