The Newbie Is Too Strong's
12. The Newbie Listens to the Explanation of Tutor Nina
Luca finally arrived at the village of beginners in the game called The Last Gardenia. Luca's hysterical feelings instantly raged. Luca knew the place well because it was a place full of memories for 15 years of his life.
The exact same place where he used to live with his father and mother and also with his Uncle Heisel now was at least until he crashed into the real world.
He could not help but long to meet with Uncle Heisel and his assistant, Derickson, the person he had truly regarded as family. However, a voice stopped him before Luca could even run.
“Hei, Luca! Where are you going again?! I told you not to go anywhere once you get to the village of beginners. Duh, you are sometimes stubborn as well yes.” Sources of sound from far away.
Luca turned towards the source of the sound to see the presence of the source of the sound there which was none other than a sound he knew well. That's Nina.
Looks an appearance of a game character that is not far from the appearance of the original Nina. He seemed to be holding a large sword complete with his armor. Luca immediately guessed that Nina was from the swordsmen class.
But Nina is not alone. He came here with another one. A cool tall man who looked to be from the shield class with the characteristic form of his large shield complete with his thick armor.
“Ah, Luca, introduce, she's my classmate, Raia. He will also help you today to start your first quest.” Said Nina while pointing at a man beside her who she called as Raia.
“Ush. My name is Raia.” Said Raia with her trademark brilliant smile.
“Luca.” Luca briefly introduced himself while bowing his head slightly.
“Luca? Foreigners?” Looking at Nina, Raia asked.
“Ah, yes, she is a distant relative of my mother from abroad.” Nina's reply further introduced the origins of Luca.
“Ting. Ting.”
Luca's game board notification went off twice. It was none other than the friendship request from Nina and Raia.
“What is this? Friend requests from two people? Is this your account?”
“Ya, receive. That's our character account.” Nina answered Luca's question.
“But why use a strange name like this? Isn't Nina and Raia enough?”
“Begini yes, Luca, the name of the character in the game should not be the same. While this game is a series of games that have started since The First Altoria about four years ago. You think during that time, there won't be anyone using Nina's name in her character?” Seeing Luca's innocent question, Nina could not resist her complaint to the game company that caused her to have to use the strange name.
“But in fact I can use the name Luca.”
“That's because your name is rare so no one has used it until now! But well, since you are alluding to it, it feels strange too if the name with only 4 characters is, no one has used it until now.”
“Padahal this game is not only in Indonesia, but touches all parts of the world. At least in your country there will be people with the same name as you who will use this name in his character. Ah...”
Nina who was initially enthusiastic about something that she thought seemed strange was immediately aware of his words. Nina forgets that Luca is from a country that is often at war so where there may be people in her country who can relax and play the game now.
Although the matter of Luca who comes from a war country, it is actually just a misinterpretation of Nina herself against Luca's previous speech because Luca actually comes from the world in the game.
“I'm sorry, Luca. I forgot.” Nina apologizes to Luca.
“What?” Luca wonders when he is unaware that Nina has misunderstood the place where he used to live.
Nina was silent not answering that question. Then enter Raia with her words, “But I myself named myself as Beastop aka beast overpower without caring about my real name. Obviously the best thing about playing the game is to keep our real names a secret. Hahahahaha.” Raia laughed without paying attention to the atmosphere.
“Good. Then first of all, I will accept the friendship of ‘Nina nina bobo’ first.” Luca plain said.
After Luca accepted the friendship request from the two men.
First of all, there's Nina, there's,
Name: NINANINA6060 (Lv 7)
Race: Man
Age: 16 years
Gender: Female
Occupation: Swordsmen [apprentice]
Then there's Raia, then,
Name: BEASTOP (Lv 9)
Race: Man
Age: 16 years
Gender: Male
Occupation: Shielder [apprentice]
“Alright, Luca, before you can start receiving quests, you must finish the test first which is swinging 50 times the wooden sword in front of the coach.” Nina began giving her instructions while escorting Luca to the coach in question.
“Ah, just like that? That's easy.” And our innocent kid seems to be getting cocky.
But according to his words, Luca was able to easily and quickly go through it. It didn't take long for him to open his first stage level lockup after he went through the test. Now, Luca can rise to level 10 without any problems.
Nina continued her instructions, though,
Listen, Luca, there are 6 quests available in the beginner village for a Newbie to be able to obtain his apprentice class.
First, slime hunting in a vast expanse of grassland. There are slime monsters from level 1 to 5 that can quickly make you climb up to level 6. Just tell me, I used to use this way to level up because this way is the easiest.
Second, hunting rabbits fanged in the forest. The difficulty level is a little higher. If you're unlucky, you can wake the wild monster boss of a fanged rabbit whose level can reach 11.
Third, hunt the undead in the tomb. This method is usually done for people who will take Cleric classes.
Fourth, look for rare herbs on the mountain. Every now and then, there were level 1 or 2 monsters, the highest level 3 one would encounter. But the most difficult of these quests was that there was one ingredient to be obtained from a level 8 plant-type monster boss. These are usually specialized for those who will be taking Alchemist classes.
Fifth, find a target with search skill in an area of 400 square kilometers. Ah, this one is specifically for those who are going to take Scout classes.
And lastly, what all novice players avoid the most is hunting silver wolves. There were five layers of ravines where the deeper into the layers, the deeper the gap and higher the level of the silver wolf monster as well. Usually, no matter how reckless the players were, they would only raise the level at the outermost layer alone.
“Well, that's right, Luca. In the outermost layer alone, the silver wolf monsters that were only level 1 and 2, were already very difficult to defeat even for players who were already level 5 though. But for me who is already level 9, well, of course it is easy.” Raia entered in the crevices as Nina explained.
