Time Stop Swordsman With Romantic Concept

[ Relationship Reward ]

! Frederique

Frederique thinks of you as his only sword friend.

Lv. 2 Can receive 1 gift

Lv. You can pick up 2 gafts in 1

‘A sword friend… ….’

Thinking so, Yoosung sighed lightly.

After giving a 30-minute speech about how and why Rike’s swordsmanship was beautiful, she was exhausted.

‘Still, I think it was worth all the trouble.’

Now that you can’t get experience points by hunting monsters, these gifts feel very precious.

I don’t want anything good to happen here, but originally, the concentration of experience that could be called a last-place prize was what Yoosung needed today.

‘Even though it’s actually at the level of sweeping gifts.’

It is easy to reach many people, probably because the concept quality was useful.

Unlike games where you simply have to act as a choice to get a gift, it might be because it’s changed to a free action.

Anyway, Yuseong is still hungry.

A week after admission, a dimensional abnormality occurs and the academy is devoured.

From then on, the main quest appeared and the game story began in earnest.

‘There are things to be gained in the dimensional abnormality. The more you can do, the better…….’

Therefore, it is right to build relationships as much as possible.

But if you push too hard, the concept can be broken.

In the line of being close to each other.

So the person who came this time…….

“Suck! Suck! Suck! Suck!”

Over there, under the scorching sun, a brown-haired, passionate man pushing himself, supporting his entire body with only his thumbs.

It was the playable character Allen, a sophomore B class.

From Yooseong’s point of view, the theme of the sophomore year was ‘effort’.

Although she is a woman of unparalleled beauty, Rike is a sword fool and has only trained with swords.

Allen lives with grit, perseverance, and effort.

And Mill, a regressor who must have worked harder than anyone else.

Yooseong It’s something he thought of alone, but isn’t it quite plausible?

‘As expected, he works out hard… ….’

He lives by training hard every single day.

When a commoner enters Class D, it is common for them to graduate from Class C, but this is a very rare case where they became Class B in one year.

There is a spirit behind that background that makes you wonder if he has gone out of his mind.

His personality also matches his ‘spiritual spirit’.

[ Wake up! You can’t die here! I’m going to hold on with my guts!! ]

You can wake up when an ally playable character’s HP reaches 1 and enters the threshold of death.

The cooldown is long, but it was a very useful personality.

Not only that, but a zombie concept character who usually stays until the end when the party is overthrown, such as having a means to return from the threshold of death called ‘super toughness’ in his passive skill.

If you want to get close to Allen like that, you have no choice but to prove your grit.

From Allen’s official setting, what I like is ‘a person with guts’.

If you can keep up with his hard training, he will definitely admit that you have grit.

‘I need stamina to do that.’

To be honest, I thought it would be a bit difficult in this state.

Even if you think of taking 10 seconds of rest every 3 seconds as a time stop, can you keep up with that amount of training?

‘For now, I can only hope for good results from the gift I got this time.’

Originally, I would collect and open them if there was nothing special, but now it seemed like I needed a reward right away.

Yoosung opened the Relations Compensation window and used the gift he got from Rike.

[ Obtained the ‘Eye Patch of Mind’. ]

‘Hmm?’

For a moment, I wondered if I had seen it wrong.

If it’s an eyepatch of the mind’s eye, surely…….

It’s an artifact exclusively for Yoosung.

[ Item Info ]

< Mind's eye patch >

An eyepatch that is said to contain the mysterious sorcery of the East.

In exchange for blindness, enlightenment becomes easier.

It is said that if you have a deep understanding, it can have a special effect…….

Special: Skill training mastery increased by 200%

If you have the ‘Inner Eye’ skill, Identify Weakness + Lv. 5, Critical Skill + Lv. 5, Blindness + Lv. 5

Enchant: Curse of the Blind

‘This.’

In addition to equipment, Wizardry Caliber has a system called artifacts, and each character has an exclusive artifact.

Usually, you can get it from a secret shop that appears as you progress through the game, or an altar where other items appear when you offer an item as a sacrifice.

And the special acquisition source is a gift.

Starting from level 2 gift, an artifact table is added with a 0.5% Chance.

There are no advanced or rare artifacts, only normal artifacts, but character-only artifacts were classified as general artifacts and were able to appear.

If this is Meteor’s exclusive artifact, it’s because Meteor’s basic skill, Intellect’s Eye, ignores the effect of the Curse of the Blind.

‘What percentage of the odds has this broken?’

Character-only relics are treated as general relics, but they do not appear normally and have a lot of weight.

What does proportion mean here?

It means that it is less likely to float than other relics.

Until now, while playing Wizardry Calibur, I had acquired exclusive artifacts through gifts quite a few times, but there were only three times when the character I was raising came up.

Unexpectedly, it came out of nowhere.

‘It’s something you’ll get after all, but…… It is meaningful that it appeared at the very beginning. In addition, meteor-only artifacts have higher mastery experience multipliers.’

But, is this really a good thing?

To be honest, as a Yoosung, I was hesitant.

If this was an ordinary play, it would have been nice to just scream and do somersaults and rejoice.

However, the current meteor is in a very abnormal state.

He should be blind, but he can see well, and because of that, he couldn’t use Meteor’s basic skills.

‘If I wear this, won’t it just make my prickly eyes disappear?’

I don’t think this is the time to pay attention to Allen.

Yooseong moved quickly and entered the dorm room.

First of all, I took off my sunglasses and put on an eye patch that looked like it was just cut out of black fabric.

‘I can’t see.’

Of course.

I don’t like being blinded.

[ An additional 200% increase in skill training mastery is in effect. ]

Meanwhile, the system messages were visible again.

But that soon disappeared and the meteor fell into complete darkness.

This eyepatch does not simply cover the eyes.

It’s not like covering it with a cloth, it just completely blocks out all the light.

For the wearer to fall into true darkness.

‘This is strange. Is this because of the curse of the blind?’

I gently lifted the eyepatch from my eye, but still no light penetrated it.

It seemed that it was because of the curse.

In-game, the curse of the blind is set to blind, but it couldn’t really cover the entire screen, so it’s replaced with all sorts of debuffs.

Reduces accuracy by 50% for basic attacks, single target attacks, and targeted attacks.

But here it seemed to be a really blinding curse.

Perhaps the existing effects are being applied as well.

‘The effect of the curse is different from the game…… ?’

To Yooseong, this felt like an unusual rice cake.

The Curse of Reversal was suspiciously the same, but why?

[ Identify Weakness + Lv.5 Effect is not applied. ]

[ Critical Hit Mastery + Lv.5 Effect is not applied. ]

[ Blindness + Lv.5 Effect is not applied. ]

Meanwhile, a newly popped up system message brings bad news.

Even though I don’t have weakness identification and critical strike skill yet.

She obviously had the mind’s eye and the senses of a blind person, but they seemed to treat them as if they were inactive.

Then, it means that this is just a blind training tool that removes sight and increases skill training proficiency by an additional 200%.

“… ….”

Better than nothing.

Yes, if the skill training mastery is increased by 200%, the basic is 100%, so the training efficiency is three times higher than before.

Moreover, Meteor is much better at time efficiency than others.

You can stop time by 10 seconds every 3 seconds.

Even taking away this and that, it was that I could use my time 2.5 Times more efficiently than others when training.

But that’s an act of extreme efficiency that’s hard to do unless you’ve lost your mind.

Until now, I didn’t do it because I thought it would be better to think about getting another gift than to live such a life as a demon.

However, if the efficiency is tripled, the story is different.

Although being unable to see is a flaw, you’ll quickly get used to it if you’re standing alone and swinging a sword.

‘I should like it, but why do I feel this way… ….’

Yoosung still opened the avatar window.

Set the eye decoration box to ‘No Appearance’.

In this way, the eyepatch will seemingly disappear.

Yoosung stuttered and touched his face.

As expected, the eyepatch has disappeared.

However, I still can’t see ahead.

‘If I do this, it’s not just a concept, but I’m going to become a real blind man?’

I found out that the avatar trick didn’t work.

Yooseong groped for his sword this time.

Originally, I was good at not looking at it, but since my eyes were covered, each and every one of these things was awkward.

Serung-!

Pull out your sword and take your usual stance.

Then he stepped forward and timidly cut into the air.

It would be better to go to the training room to train like this, but in fact, I had to hide that I was poor at swordsmanship, so I couldn’t help it.

‘Wow, Mr. It’s very awkward.’

It is only natural that there are restrictions on movement since the eyes that were supposed to see well are covered.

The dark is one of man’s greatest fears.

However, Yooseong thought he had to overcome it.

‘I will continue to practice swinging my sword…… You can’t throw away 3x the training efficiency just because it’s awkward not being seen.’

Well, that’s what happened. Today, I decided to practice cutting all day long.

Yoosung was a man who could do anything.

Exactly, it happened after possessing it in the game.

Persistence and perseverance have reached a considerable level, probably due to the change in the body.

Since there are no classes yet, it doesn’t matter how late you sleep.

Whoosh!

Shih!

Slowly but constantly swings his sword in the dark.

The first hour or so was very awkward, but I wonder if humans are creatures of adaptation after all.

The more I practiced, the more I got used to it and felt like I was finding a balance.

‘I need to practice stabbing as well.’

When the eyes were covered, stabbing felt much easier to use than cutting.

Just in time, the skill level is low and growth is fast.

In the case of the original Meteor, I trained mainly for stabbing rather than cutting, so I wanted to strike a balance.

Shuuk!

Pierce the air and return to your posture.

Stab, return.

As I measured the time, I delivered and drew the sword once every 13 seconds.

I refrained from doing such a demonic thing that risked my life on such efficiency because I thought burnout would come, but in the end Yooseong is also Korean.

Seeing a three-fold loss in efficiency in front of their eyes was unbearable.

How much time had passed like that?

In complete darkness, a message emerged.

[ Eye of Mind Lv. 0 -> Mind’s Eye Lv. One ]

“Uh.”

At the moment, I feel dumbfounded.

You said this was activated again when you practice blindfolded?
