[Round 3, Day 0, 07:40]
At some point, I started to immediately wake up as soon as I’ve had a specific amount of sleep.
It was convenient that I no longer needed an alarm now.
After setting the quick clear of Tutorial as my goal, I reduced my sleep time to only 2 hours.
The reason I continued to keep that 2 hour sleep was for mental health and in preparation to have a functional lifestyle in an outdoor environment within the Tutorial.
With the extra 2 hours I've gained from reducing my sleeptime, I began to make a walkthrough from floor 1 to 3, remembering all the traps I had to go through.
It was not like I was telling them to heat the arrow in fire as well.
Some information wasn't accepted, but with many people actively participating, the process of gathering and analyzing have gotten much faster.
With more information being released, more people became confident enough to advance through the Tutorial.
It was to be expected, as almost all the factors in those floors had already been analysed and noted.
Those who specialised or had occupations in martial arts or sports released their training tips as well.
Especially the tips released by a personal trainer. The exercises that could be done without equipments were like rain in the desert sands.
In the Tutorial world which we were all kidnapped into, we followed its instructions out of necessity, as the system requested it, but those who truly advanced through it were only a few ranker, including me.
But, most of the people have realised the importance of clearing the Tutorial.
There were also those who didn't jump to clearing like others, but instead supported others in their cause.
And, these new information would help accelerate the growth of those who weren't so dedicated.
The Tutorial Walkthrough started without an issue.
I stood on the portal as soon as Round 3 began.
With the Wind Spirit's Blessing's 2nd effect, acceleration, my speed sped up at an exponential rate.
Had I been too rash?
I've even become quite fond of him, due to the continuous battles I've had in the last few days against him. Now, it was time to say goodbye.
First, I had to reduce this speed.
A quick reaction as always.
In fact, I ran forward and raised my shield to the axe.
Thud!
With the strike hitting much closer than intended by the Instructor, there wasn't much impact on the shield.
All in a single motion.
It seemed he would use his size if it came to it.
I use my arm to maintain distance from him while taking a quick step backwards.
This included muscles that were usually difficult to train like the waist or joint muscles.
Therefore, improving the Strength Stat was of utmost importance.
I was the same, but I did think that some of those facts were in fact correct.
Because of the difference in height, my lowkick landed on the knee joint of the Instructor.
In fact, the match was over before it had even began.
As the instructor lost his right leg, which was used to support his heavy axe and injured shoulder, his stance broke immediately.
Then pushed his chest while his head was stretched backwards, knocking him over.
I quickly took a mount position and threw a punch.
As he wasn't in a normal state at this point and having still had a sword stuck in his shoulder, he was struck in the head.
He was completely dazed.
I grabbed onto his head and chin and twisted them.
The end.
The difference in speed had created this outcome.
Another way to explain was that there was no way I could lose, as long as there wasn’t too much of a difference in other factors. However, those situations were extremely rare.
The instructor's body twitched for a moment, then began to fade away completely.
I wish that was a drop that I could get from killing him.
The birthstone did not drop this time either.
I wiped the oil from the instructor's hair onto my armour and took my sword back.
I didn't complete it, but I had scouted it out of curiosity.
The next challenge was also goblin, but this time, not 1 but 5 of them.
That sounded about right.
These 5 goblins had made a trench to wait for their enemy.
I guess the goblin with a staff was like a wizard or a shaman.
Considering that a trench was used to reduce the amount of exposure from bombardment, I could imagine that staff goblin would fire something in a straight line, similar to a gun.
The problem was that the users of the bow and spear were Hell Difficulty special muscle goblins.
I would have to get into the trench as quickly as possible and fight in close quarter combat, surrounded by 5 muscle heads, in an arena called the trench.
They even had the mystery weapon called the staff.
[Blink]
I used the Blink skill 3 times in a row straight up.
And the gliding effect took place.
I began to glide through the air, as if paragliding.
Instead of this dark Tutorial Corridor, I would have liked to fly above a field or on the beach in sunlight.
...Hm, it had been a while.
To be honest, I thought that was because he was embarrassed by the description for Talaria's Wings.
Just as before when I tested it, there was no noise from flying.
The corridor of Tutorial was dark.
Even with night vision, it was still dark.
But these goblins were constantly on guard, looking for intruders.
As long as they didn't look up, I wouldn't be in their field of vision.
Plus the wooden roof on top of the trenches made flying above them even easier.
It wasn't easy because of the roof, but with continued effort, I eventually found out.
[You have received Sneak Lv.1]
Oh. An unexpected reward.
I began to wonder what would happen if I went on, ignoring the trench.
I let that thought slide for now.
The Glide skill allowed me to take flight in which ever direction I wanted.
There was an exit at the back of the trench just like the one at the front.
The formation of the goblins was:
2 archers,
The staff goblin quickly turned around, but it had been too late.
"Puek!'
The sword found its mark - his throat.
A good start.
The 4 at the front quickly turned around to face me.
The spear goblins fell backwards, as their long spears were getting in the way.
While the goblins were busy trying to make a formation, I blinked towards them, only a small distance away.
The blue, beautiful crystal wings spread wide in both directions.
Stab!
The two archers next to me were stabbed by the ends of the wings and pushed into the walls of the trench.
Since the wings had the density of a metal and their edges were sharp, I could use them in offence like this.
It seemed that both archers didn't die immediately and instead struggled.
I undid the Talaria's Wings as it restricted my movement in the small trench and threw a throwing knife at one of the spear goblins as I ran towards him.
