I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 99 A Group of Unlucky People (Four Thousand)

It was nine o'clock at night.

Alvin arrived at the tavern on time.

When he just walked into the pub.

Sallylan, who looked extremely beautiful with silver hair and a blue dress, also appeared in the tavern through space magic.

"Good evening, Mr. Irwin."

Sally Lan just appeared and began to look around. After discovering Ivan, a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Good evening. Sosia is still open. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

Ivan sensed the excitement emanating from Sallylan's heart and roughly guessed why she was like that, so when he opened his mouth to respond, he also gave her a reminder.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Sallylan turned around to look at the door of the tavern, which had not yet been hung with a sign saying "rest", and could only suppress her excitement.

Sosia was originally walking slowly to close the door, but after hearing the conversation between the two, she quickly turned over the plaque on the tavern door and closed the door.

She turned around and looked at Sally Lan, who was unable to control her emotions, and said helplessly.

"I can see that you are very happy and want to share some good news with us, but don't be so eager."

"There's nothing we can do. There are many players coming to the Sgri area today."

"My magic academy enrolled 86 talented students at once."

“That’s 86.”

When Sallylan saw the tavern door completely closed and the Moonlight Tavern's protective magic circle activated, she could no longer hold back her desire to share in the joy.

These 86 players are not ordinary magicians, but students who allow her to boldly teach various forbidden magics.

Since the players were conservatively estimated to be (pseudo) immortal, she didn't have to worry about them suddenly dying from practicing forbidden magic.

These players all have excellent talents in magic and fighting spirit. Even if they are a little stupid, their learning efficiency may be slower.

However, they can try the limits of magic at different levels through repeated sudden deaths.

"Didn't you say yesterday that there were no students?"

"Why are there so many more today?"

After hearing this, Sosiah understood why Sallylan was so excited.

"Based on the characteristics you told me, I have been checking the surroundings of the Magic Academy today and found that at least 1042 guys who look like players have been there on the west coast today."

"As the number of people grows, there are finally some guys with foresight."

Upon hearing this, Sallylan immediately told some of the things she had discovered during the day.

The appearance of these players undoubtedly proves that Alvin truly understands this special group of players.

We even know that the number will suddenly increase within a few days.

"Thousands?"

"Mr. Irving, do you know what's going on with Sally Lan now?"

The tavern in Sosia has been open all the time, and we haven't encountered so many players all day.

"Their strength has been raised to a critical point one after another, so it's not surprising that they come here in groups."

"I guess the most of them choose the sharpshooter genre."

"As for choosing to join the magic academy, I can only say that Sallylan ran into some unlucky people."

Ivan was not surprised to hear that a large number of players showed up. He sat at his usual table, explained when asked, and also gave his own evaluation. ”

"Although the number of students joining the Sharpshooter School is indeed greater than those joining the Magic Academy."

"But why do you say that joining the magic academy I founded and becoming my student means you are unlucky?"

"If you choose to practice magic, won't you be much more powerful than the sharpshooter school in the future?"

Sallylan was a little dissatisfied when she heard Ivan's evaluation, because this was a dispute about the pros and cons of different schools.

"This is not a question of whether the school is strong or not. I have never said that your way of magic is not strong, nor have I said that the way of magic is not worth studying."

"But even you, the founder and dean of the magic academy, said that it will definitely be stronger than the sharpshooter school in the future."

"But for a large number of current players, what they want is not the future, but the short term."

"None of them have any combat experience, and they don't understand our world."

"So they will give priority to those cultivation styles that are easy to master and can quickly make them stronger."

"From a rational perspective, comparing the magician and the sharpshooter, which style is easier to learn and use in actual combat?"

"The answer is obvious. Sharpshooters are simpler and can also attack from a distance, helping them learn to adapt to combat."

"Because it is easy to practice accuracy, in just 2-3 days, those who choose to become a sharpshooter's apprentice will probably be able to continue taking risks and killing monsters to level up."

"As for those unfortunate fellows who chose to join your magic academy, I guess they are probably still learning how to mobilize the magic power in their bodies."

"Once they learn how to mobilize magic power, they must use the meager magic power in their bodies and use some magic carefully to try to take risks and fight monsters."

"Then even though they were brave and careful, and had great combat experience, they defeated those monsters without suffering any injuries."

"But once their magic power is exhausted and they are unable to use magic, they will be forced to come back and recuperate."

"When your students step into the Gran Forest and try to defeat the goblins."

"Players who choose the sharpshooter style may have already gone deep into the forest to hunt other stronger monsters."

Ivan saw through Sallylan's dissatisfaction, but did not argue with her. Instead, he explained the specific reasons for such an evaluation.

Even though magicians can quickly switch to other professions, they won't think there is anything wrong until they find out that magicians have very poor combat effectiveness in the early stages.

Only when they really hit a wall will they realize their mistake and choose other schools of practice. However, during these wasted days, others may be left behind by the first echelon or even fall further behind.

Sallylan originally thought that Ivan was questioning the way of magic, but after hearing the explanation, she couldn't help but remain silent.

"Moreover, the way of magic needs to go from entry level to familiarity to mastery, and even delve into it to a higher level."

"Often you need a family background to support you, not just talent."

"And these Fourth Calamity players from another world have just arrived in this world."

"Obviously, he doesn't have the family background to support him. He doesn't have the money to buy wands, magic props, magic equipment, or potions to increase or speed up the recovery of magic power."

"Also, they haven't chosen your magic school yet, but when their levels are raised in the future, they can choose to switch to other schools."

"Just imagine that when they reach level 40 or 50, they will gradually become familiar with this world, have considerable strength, have accumulated a lot of wealth, and they will all have fighting spirit and magic talent."

"Because they realize the power of magic, they will come to you on their own initiative and want you to take them in and teach them magic."

"Are you going to accept it or not?" Seeing that Sally Lan was silent, Ivan added some more reasons.

From what he had observed so far, even the fact that one could become a disciple at his Ghost Swordsman Dojo with just 10,000 gold coins had directly eliminated a large number of players.

And Sallyland's magic academy does allow students to become apprentices for free, but becoming a magician is not something that can be achieved by simply becoming an apprentice, changing jobs, and then practicing hard.

Not only do you have to find ways to increase your level, but after you get there you also need some excellent weapons and equipment, as well as a steady supply of potions to restore your magic power, before you can begin to show the power of magic.

As for now, Alvin can only say that if anyone chooses magic, he will be asking for trouble.

"Okay, I think I understand why. Even though quite a few players showed up a few days ago, no one chose to join my magic academy."

"You're right. The guys I met today were indeed a bunch of unlucky people."

After hearing these words, even Sallylan, the dean of the magic academy, felt a little pitiful for the students who chose to join her academy today.

In the Lant continent, the only people who are qualified to learn magic are the elves who are born with a long lifespan and magical talent.

Other races, such as humans, who choose to learn orthodox elemental magic are basically people with prominent family backgrounds.

Using a large amount of wealth and a long period of time, one can gradually cultivate and eventually become a great magician.

And she heard from Sosia that the way these players improve their strength is different from that of ordinary people.

As long as these players can continue to take risks and hunt stronger monsters, their strength will only increase faster and faster.

Therefore, it is not a wise choice to directly learn magic now, as you will naturally be much less efficient than others.

Sosia knew Ivan well, and what they were talking about was about players, so it was obviously impossible for her to question the way of magic.

Besides, he was not one of her students, so naturally there would not be any misunderstanding.

"Shalilan, according to your observations, how many people have chosen the sharpshooter style?"

Although Sosia felt sorry for those players after listening to them, after seeing that Sallylan agreed with Ivan's words, she was also curious and asked about the general movements of these players.

"I counted carefully. 807."

If it were Sallyland at the beginning, she might feel that the difference in the number of people who chose to become her disciples was too obvious and feel embarrassed, but now that she understands, she reported a number without any psychological burden.

Because Mr. Ivan mentioned this when he explained the reason to her just now.

Those who are interested in magicians may come to me to become my disciples after they grow up.

Sallylan knew very well whether it was easier to teach a novice adventurer of level ten or a senior adventurer of level forty or fifty.

“Is the difference in numbers so obvious?”

Sosia was also a little surprised when she heard this.

"You know how clumsy their movements are and how little combat experience they have."

"As for the sharpshooter style, as long as you learn how to aim and reload the gun, and learn some movement and distance, you can kill monsters directly."

"Besides, if they take risks together, they can easily start taking risks even if they are covered by firepower, and they can get through it by just rushing."

Alvin was not surprised at the difference in numbers.

These players need a lot of time and practice to show their strength.

As for the sharpshooter's gun, even if you don't have to master it completely, the difficulty of just getting started is definitely one of the easiest.

From the perspective of opening up a new area and forming a team, the sharpshooter, a profession that is easy to get started in the early stages and can be joined by different teams as a deputy for team adventure, is undoubtedly the most popular.

In terms of priority, even if the Ghost Swordsman school created by Ivan is now open to the public for free, I guess not many players will give priority to Ghost Swordsman.

However, considering the players' choice of career style, he felt that he might have to think of some ways and find a more suitable opportunity to show the players the coolness and power of the different branches of Ghost Swordsman.

His original plan was to take it slow. After all, apart from the Sword Soul branch, which he could teach with confidence, for the other three branches, if he taught one, one person might die.

But after the player appeared, it provided a way for him to quickly improve his role-playing ability.

If the number of apprentices is too small, then there is no need to expect these people to tap into the trust and curiosity brought by different branches and schools to help him improve his acting skills.

He needs to think carefully about this matter and decide when is the right time to take action.

"It is true that everyone prefers simple and rough fighting methods over complicated ones."

Sosia brought wine and poured it into the glasses on the table. Hearing this, she thought about those carefree adventurers and a smile appeared on her face.

"Simple and rough violence is only suitable for weak monsters like goblins."

"When they encounter some powerful monsters, they will definitely regret why they didn't hone their combat skills and basics."

Ivan took his glass of wine and a smile appeared on his face.

The three players in his dojo are now consolidating their foundation.

Although the progress may lag behind other players slightly due to training, the Ghost Swordsman is different from the Magician.

A magician not only has to work hard to practice and hone his control over magic, but once he has become famous, he also needs a lot of money.

All the Ghost Swordsmen need to become stronger is effort and time. Once they have learned the basics, they can start adventure battles and gradually catch up.

If they learned the Li Ghost Sword Technique and obtained the Ghost Hand he gave them, they would be able to catch up even faster.

At least there is no problem in catching up with the first echelon.

"Regret it if you want. After all, they have immortal bodies and have the right to regret."

“I really envy this.”

When Sallylan heard that the players would regret it, she agreed but also felt a little envious.

Having the right to regret during a battle is not an easy thing.

If ordinary people want to regret, they need at least a strong background or someone to risk their lives to escort and rescue them, so that they may have a chance to regret after experiencing life and death.

These fourth disasters from another world not only have special ways to increase their strength, but also have the right to regret.

Even though Sallyland has not yet encountered a life-or-death crisis, she understands how tempting this right is.

"It seems that all the players will arrive soon, but we don't know how many players have arrived in the Sgri area yet."

"It's not convenient for Sosia and I to come forward for this kind of thing, so I'll trouble you, Sallylan, to go and take a look."

Alvin did not comment much on this, but became concerned about another issue.

He still wanted to know how many players there were in this first batch who came to this world. Based on the number, he could make some response strategies in advance.

"Okay, leave this to me."

Sally Lan did not refuse when she heard this. She smiled and agreed directly.
