Time passed by, and Hyeonuâs live stream gained more momentum. It was due to the rise in the tension of Hyeonu, the party responsible for streaming. However, this increase in Hyeonuâs tension didnât have a good effect on Jamie More, the other person involved.
âThere is a 20-0 result for the placement test. I knew Jamieâs talent was good enough. So what should I do?â Hyeonu called out into the empty air.
-Of course, it is endless practice.
-A pain that cuts at the bones. It needs to be endured.
-He wonât die even if he coughs up blood. This is Arena.
-He has to practice like someone who has no tomorrow.
The answer to Hyeonuâs call came back from the chat window. The viewers responded to Hyeonuâs words enthusiastically regardless of who they were. The chat window rose like crazy.
âUm... Isnât it enough to just do the same as what we have been doing? It seems to be sufficiently proven that the direction so far hasnât been wrong.â Jamie Moore had the opposite reaction to the chat window.
It was hard enough even now. No, it was really hard. Alley Leader Academy had always been a content that allowed Jamie Moore to experience his own limitations.
âYes, the direction isnât wrong. There are already numerous results. There is no way it can be wrong.â Hyeonu nodded.
âThen...?â Jamie Moore asked carefully with a hopeful face.
âSo you have to work harder. The direction is the same, but the given environment is different. The arena is now different from when Choi Yoon, the first graduate, played. Nor is it like when Dwayne played. It is also different from when Yuri did it. You have to work harder to be in the same position, Jamie.â Hyeonu grabbed Jamieâs shoulders and exuded a passionate air.
âSo in the future...â Jamie Moore couldnât hide his trembling expression. He couldnât even speak properly. It was because he could anticipate some of the adversity that would unfold before him.
âI will teach you even harder stuff. I will let you know more.â Hyeonu smiled and shook his head. Then he turned around and looked at the viewers. âThis isnât just about teaching Jamie. It is also teaching my viewers.â
The viewers showed interest in Hyeonuâs sweet words. Alley Leader Academy was helpful content for many novice players. Just as before, most of the people of Alley Leader Academy were beginnersâthose who had only just stepped foot into the arena. Hyeonuâs lectures helped them adjust to the arena a bit more easily and improved their skills. Those who had just stepped foot into the arena had no choice but to watch with shining eyes.
-What is it?
-Education for us?
-I think the current basic skills education is enough.
-Reporting, I raised my ranking to 5,000,000th place through Alley Leader Academy.
The viewersâ had a great interest in it. The originally fast-moving chat window moved up several times faster. It was now impossible for even those sending the chat messages to read their own chats.
âHow do you deal with opponents using attribute magic power? I will teach you how.â Hyeonu smiled deeply and revealed to the viewers the next part of what he said earlier.
-Countermeasures against attribute magic power?
-This isnât something that can only be used in the arena, right?
-It seems to be more suitable for hunting.
-To be honest, that is the thing that annoys me the most about the arena. Everyone has attribute magic power.
-To be honest, I change the attribute resistance items with a heart full of prayer.
The viewers cheered at what Hyeonu said. His words scratched at their itch.
âAs you all know, it is very easy to acquire attributes in Arena. Skills and items emerge quite often compared to other virtual reality games. You know this even if I donât say anything else, right?â
It was as Hyeonu said. Arena was kind to players in many ways.
-That is true. The hard thing is that it is hard for me to do it myself.
However, that was it. There was the problem that it was unfriendly to everyone except for a few. Even so, that alone was enough to satisfy people. It was because other virtual reality games didnât even have that.
âGetting back to the main point, this is what I say. I will show you how to cope with some of the common attributes that you will encounter in the arena. Of course, this is the basic explanation.â
The methods of obtaining attributes in Arena were varied and easy. There were many methods, but the most common one was to obtain them through items. There were no special means. All they needed was an item with the corresponding attribute. Even if the item wasnât worn in the future, the attribute would be maintained.
âFirst of all, today I will talk about the fire attribute that most players have chosen.â
The beginning was the most popular attribute, the fire attribute. It wasnât just for this reason. Rather, it was because Jamie Moore possessed fire attribute magic power.
[The Flame of the Demon World - Fragach]
It was the unique skill that could handle both dark and fire attributes at the same time. Although it might be different from the ordinary fire attribute, it was still a fire attribute. It was right to look at it as a higher-level attribute.
-I like the fire attribute.
-Even if we just learn this and know how to deal with one attribute, the probability of randomly guessing will change.
-It feels like it is cut in half if it is just fire.
The viewers cheered once again at Hyeonuâs choice. It could be seen that they had experienced meeting opponents with the fire attribute many times. Even the parties who used the fire attribute were happy with this content. Their focus was on meeting and winning against the opponents with the fire attribute, rather than their own attribute being destroyed.
âThe greatest characteristic of the fire attribute is its immense power. The burn effect is also pretty bad.â
The most frightening thing about the fire attribute was its high power and secondary damage after being hit. For example, there were burns. The biggest problem with the burns wasnât the loss of health but the pain.
âI donât know what you will think of me saying this... First of all, it is best not to fit it to everything. To be honest, it is true in PvP, but it is a bit different against monsters.â
-No, we donât know which is why we are like this.
-Is this the solution? I want to hit you.
-Will it make any difference hearing this?
-Uhem. Iâm a fool to expect anything.
The viewers were furious at Hyeonuâs words. It was a deception. There were no lectures or training. It was closer to teasing.
âOf course, the best thing to do⦠Would you like me to teach you that?â Hyeonu waved his hands up and down several times in order to calm the viewers.
âIâll explain by showing it with my body.â Hyeonuâs hands moved through the air in a hurry. After a while, three wooden swords appeared above Hyeonuâs hands. Hyeonu handed two wooden swords to Jamie Moore and playfully waved the other one.
âJamie, come at me like you did in the ranking battle.â Hyeonu slightly widened the distance from Jamie Moore. The two of them didnât mind doing it on the spot, but the problem was that if they did so, the viewers would lose the time to concentrate.
âIâm coming.â Jamie Moore sent a signal in advance before rushing at Hyeonu.
âYes, come as you like.â Hyeonu nodded and straightened his sword.
Jamie Moore slowly kicked off from the ground and ran toward Hyeonu. He didnât run hard and fast at the start, gradually increasing his speed instead. At some point, he was engulfed in dark red flames.
âNow, the biggest outward feature of the fire attribute magic power is its form. Donât just distinguish by color. The fire attribute is a fine spark that would explode no matter what skill is used.â Hyeonu really explained from the basics. He proceeded on the assumption that the listeners knew nothing at all. âJust like any attribute, you have to decide whether you are going to block or avoid it. You will be in trouble if you deal with it half-heartedly. Iâm currently conducting the sparring for educational purposes, so I will try to block it.â
Hyeonuâs wooden sword was colored purple. It wasnât as noticeable as Jamie Mooreâs, but the color change was like a swamp that stole the viewersâ attention.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
-Wow, what attribute is that?
-No one knows. It is the first time Iâve seen purple.
-Iâm sure it is an attribute that isnât known... I canât catch any clues.
-Is it the poison attribute? However, you canât just change the attributes.
The viewers had previously wondered about Hyeonuâs attribute. Hyeonuâs magic power, which changed to purple at some point, created a great controversy even among the people. However, there was never an answer. Meanwhile, Hyeonuâs and Jamie Mooreâs wooden swords collided.
Hyeonu blocked the wooden sword from a position far from his body.
âFor those who have a lot of areas where your armor doesnât cover your body, block it from a distance like now. Arena is a reflection of reality to a certain extent, so if you donât get hit directly, the burn effect wonât happen.â
There was only one reason to block this. It was to avoid getting caught by a status abnormality. Jamie Moore vigorously swung his two swords at Hyeonu, who continued the explanation in a relaxed tone.
Hyeonu said, âNevertheless, the game element is definitely alive. If your attack power is higher than the opponentâs in a collision, the status effect wonât be applied even if youâre not wearing armor. Of course, cases with skills or item effects arenât discussed.â
He had already taken off the armor he was wearing on his upper body.
-This is why fighters are immune to abnormal conditions.
-No wonder why it doesnât work if it isnât a skill.
-I wish I had known earlier.
The viewers nodded at Hyeonuâs explanation. One of the questions about what they experienced in the arena was solved. Yet, some viewers raised new questions about this situation.
-By the way, didnât the NPCs explain all of this? I remember hearing it before.
-Thatâs right, it was explained during my second class advancement. It is when I learn sword energy.
-I donât know because I skipped it.
-Where was the skip button? I mustâve been fascinated by the skill window and the messages ã ã ã ã
The content that Hyeonu explained was exactly the same as what was learned from NPCs during the second class change. It was natural. Usually, melee classes had to be able to use sword energy to make meaningful use of the attribute.
âIt was explained? This is the first time Iâm hearing about it?â
Hyeonu frowned while looking at the chat window. He had never heard of it before. Hyeonu felt like his foundation was unraveling as he explained this.
âIs this a fact that anyone can know?â
Hyeonu felt a soaring anger toward someone, but he couldnât express it now. That person wasnât here, and Hyeonu was currently streaming.
âI will give you one more tip here. You should make good use of the attributes advantage. Attributes advantage. Of course, there are times where it isnât an advantage, but... it is something you can do until then, right?â Hyeonu finished the lecture with a wicked smile. âIf you are curious about more detailed tips, check the video that will be uploaded to the Alley Leader channel on A-World tomorrow.â
