Hyper Luck

thority despite his low level.
Caloir grabbed my arm that was holding Soga’s hand as his countless questions never showed any signs of finishing.

 

“Oh my.
If it isn’t the owner of the Iron Mountain! The quality of a sword crafted with iron from your mountain is one of the best swords I have ever used!”

 

Then he spat words restlessly from his mouth as if he was rapping to distract Soga and proceeded to move away from him with his arms around my shoulder.
Then he whispered into my ears.

 

“Dirty parvenus.
They always have problems that only people like us can solve.
It’s best to try to avoid them, or…”

 

Caloir stopped to stand in front of me as he stopped whispering.

 

“Are you a Sworder who wields his blade for money?”

 

He asked, with pure intentions.
There was no sign of sarcasm of any sort.
The title of a Sworder was only obtainable after torturous trainings.

 

It was seen as a sign that he didn’t want to interfere with another individual’s inclinations to the person who obtained the title of a Sworder through such training.

 

“No, that’s not it.
It’s just that…”

 

But as a person who has never even been on an airplane in real life, the entirety of this experience was new to me.
Not to mention that I had no idea that he approached me with such intentions.

 

Unlike other games out in the market, this is a virtual reality game.
NPCs in this world sleep, wake up, eat, defecate, and talk.
They are the natives of this world that follow the laws of space and time of this world.

 

This incident only happened since I was not able to get in touch with any NPCs in the five months I have been playing Circuit.
The NPC that I have seen for the longest time was my master, but he was a man that existed for only one purpose.
So filtering out other NPCs that are not like him that approached me with selfish purposes was no easy thing.

 

But now, with Caloir’s admonition, I felt deeply that I still lacked such skills.
Caloir looked at me silently, shook his head for a moment, and said,

 

“Please, excuse me.
You were only accepting a request to shake your hand from someone.”

“No problem.
It was a handshake that I wasn’t very happy to accept anyways.

 

I answered Caloir with a playful tone, as he asked me carefully to not offend me.
I could see his face brighten up from this.

 

In other general games, a system such as an intimacy meter would be kindly put in to see how the NPCs are feeling at a glance, but there were no such conveniences to be found in this game, so the only way to actually raise intimacy was to make friends or develop a further relationship with the NPC.

 

And so, as I walked across the Grand Hall, Caloir pointed his finger somewhere with a curious look on his face.

 

“Look closely at the people over there.”

 

His finger pointed to the area where the table was set.
People sitting at the tables in the corners stood out the most.

 

Pointing at them,

 

“There are at least five ‘strongest people in the continent’ on this ship right now.”

 

Said Caloir.

 

“Now, if our destination is the same as their destination, what would that mean?”

 

“Are you saying that they are here for the purpose related to the mission we have?”

 

“Correct! They may be related to the mission you or I may have been assigned to or maybe they have a mission ‘same’ as yours or mine!”

 

Caloir pointed his finger to the man sitting at the table located in the most left corner of the room as he continued to talk.

 

“That man is the ‘Sword Master of Tikris’ Gohn.”

 

It felt like Caloir’s voice was trembling.
As soon as I heard the name, my whole body trembled as well.

 

One of the five heads of the Sworder organization is right here before my eyes!

 

The biggest goal of young Sworders is to awaken themselves to learn the essence of Adiath in order to reach the position of a Sword Master which is known to wield all kinds of blades in existence.

 

To put this simply, this was a situation where a new employee, that’s me in this situation, is facing a man who started from the bottom to become a chairman in a company that anyone can become a chairman as long as they put in tremendous effort.

 

A person of respect and envy, the ultimate goal of the Sworder class obtained in the world of is to sit in that position.

 

It felt as if my heart was plummeting.
I felt sick inside.
Golden words appeared above his head at the words from Caloir.

 

244 Gohn>

 

I had goosebumps all over my body.
The overwhelming level I saw for the first time in my life.
I felt as if my mind was going numb when I imagined the many death throes that beings living in this world had to go through to reach that level, unlike the players.

 

And as soon as I looked at the words that appeared on top of his head,

< Achievement Unlocked >

 

< You have met ‘Gohn’ of the Twin Ghostblade.
>

 

< The one who faced the Ghostblade >

 

The words appeared before my eyes.
And I could feel my body tense up just by looking at Gohn.

 

< You have earned 2 points in STR stats from unlocking the achievement.
>

 

What’s more is that I’ve earned two stat points in STR! Chills went down my spine because this unprecedented experience felt like an exhilarating electric current to my body.

 

The announcement resonated through the airship once more as if it was trying to awaken my mind from carefully staring at the person sitting at the corner table standing awkwardly.

 

[ Good afternoon passengers of the dawn.
This is your captain, ‘McGroffin’ speaking.
]

 

[ We have reached our destination, ‘Spearhead of the Valerius’ dock.
I wish you the best of luck to our passengers of the dawn.
Our next destination is the ‘The northern snow wall of the Langnas’.
Thank you.
]

 

And as soon as the announcement ended many people, no, at least all the people in the grand hall except Caloir and I, started to leave through the door.
In such a situation, Caloir was also slowly starting to break cold sweat.

 

And when I realized the true intentions of the questions Caloir had asked earlier, I too broke into  cold sweat.

 

My destination was the northern snow wall of Langnas, located in the far northeast side of Asparagan.
If the continent’s strongest men, whom Caloir spoke of, did not get off this station, it was clear that they would at least have come to do something related to my mission in Langnas.

 

And that also meant that this mission I was assigned to had an astonishing level of difficulty.

 

After a while, the ship began to move again with the magnificent mechanical sounds of the engine starting up once more.

 

Towards the northern snow wall of Langnas, the last stop and my destination.

 

There were quite a few people left in the grand hall.
However, the gazes of Caloir and I were fixed on the five people.

 

Not a single one of them got off the ship in the previous station.

 

Then a notification appeared before my eyes.

 

< The class of the quest has been changed.
>

 

< Super (超) Clash Battle Quest >
