The Newbie Is Too Strong's
187. Searching for the Griffon Despair Quest
From that day on, Senior Areka seemed even more excited. He began to build his confidence back, seen with the frequent challenge he posed first to fight with me.
All thanks to his new skill, The Lutfi series is similar to Kak Toni's Sarwendah series. Only, the names of the nurses are a bit embarrassing so often the face of Senior Areka is made red.
For another Senior, I was a bit reluctant to suddenly say ‘mari practice match’ or ‘mari study with’ to improve their abilities. I was afraid that it would have the opposite effect and they would have been prejudiced by me by thinking of me as a good-natured junior.
The time of the year-end tournament was also not long so I had to immediately think of a solution for how the other seniors could level-up as well.
Now all I can do is help the team members in my party. But unfortunately for them, there doesn't seem to be much I can do.
Chika is busy making potions with Professor Bruntall and occasionally training to match Kak Krimson. Surely they will be better able to make Chika level-up than me.
Diana is still busy in her extra-tight training Aunt Deborah. So I thought for Diana there was no problem either.
Brother Raia rather than a new skill training, he needs more fighting experience and an expansion of understanding of cunning tricks in fighting. Hence, he had lately been following gladiator quests more often than ordinary quests. So, there is nothing for now that I can do for Raia.
All that remains is Nina. But lately, he seems to be losing motivation. But there is nothing I can do for a player who has lost his will to fight. After all, the club is also just a place to have fun so there is no obligation for Kak Nina to practice really if the person himself does not have the intention.
But I'm worried about Kak Nina's mentality lately. As far as I am concerned he has a strong desire to become a professional e-sport vrmmorpg player. But after learning that I had joined the White Star club where Kak Malik had his idol, he became mostly silent to me.
I was also wrong for not telling him from the beginning. But honestly, there was absolutely no intention of me to hide this from him. It's just that, there is no right moment to tell this matter to Kak Nina.
I don't know if it's an expression of her betrayal or just sheer envy, but what's clear is that Kak Nina is angry about why I kept everything from the beginning to her. Frankly, I feel sad about our current situation. But right now, there's nothing I can do.
I just have to wait until the emotions subside and talk about this well with him. Frankly speaking, Sister Nina is the most precious sister figure to me. He was the one who taught me the most about how to live in this real world when I was first stranded in this place.
Forgetting all that, now that Silvia and I had just conducted a quest after I complained to her about the inability to find a high-level monster to level up. Our quest is the purification of the lake in one of the territories of the Symphonia Kingdom.
Silvia's sister found out about the source of her pollution and then exterminated it. Then I was instrumental in purifying the lake through the purification power of my moon crescent. We can easily complete the quest through a combination of our skills.
After the quest, we also took advantage of the time left to search for high-level monsters in one of the spots located in the Symphonia Kingdom that were said to be high-level monsters often appeared there. But for hours was sought, the high-level monster did not appear as well.
Be me and Brother Silvia coming home empty-handed. But it is also wrong to say it like that, the matter of the quest which was our initial goal of coming there has been resolved well.
Suddenly in the middle of our journey, still in the territory of the capital of the Symphonia Kingdom, Assor, I coincidentally met with Egi. Not only Egi, there was also Asti the fighter and Zevan the ice mage with him.
“Egi? What are you guys doing here?” Ask her.
“It...” Somehow Egi looks hesitant tells me as if the thief who just got caught stealing.
Zevan answered, though,
“We will follow Galpagos hunting quest, Luca. Recently on the internet it is crowded to talk about that if lucky, we will be able to find a hidden quest ‘the despair of Griffon’ in the middle of this Galpagos hunting quest. What was even more important was that the hidden quest was said to be restricted to players below level 50 only. Hows it? Cool right? This is our chance for the newbies to shine. Hehehehehehe.”
“Eh, really? Can I come too? When it comes to finding hidden quests, I'm the expert. It's been twice since I found it by chance.” I displayed my most gracious look to them with the best smile, hoping to be allowed to join their party.
Well, it's nothing. It's just, I feel good if I'm allowed to join the party with friends.
“Everyone knows too. Two of the 33 hidden quests that existed, were all discovered by the same player, and not only that, they were discovered by a newbie. The news has been in an uproar in the Gardenia.” community
“Then, please help yes, Luca. Yuk join together.”
“Zevan!”
Egi suddenly looked at Zevan with a meaningfully upset look. I don't know why I feel that Egi feels bad if I join his party. But since both Zevan and Asti had greeted me with enthusiasm, there was no chance for me to take back my words.
Let me join their party.
“Then let me join you too, sister.”
No, exactly the two of us. Brother Silvia also finally joined the party after asking to join and was immediately allowed to be taken for granted by Egi.
“S07!” They too, just like Senior Areka, were apparently also surprised to find out the true identity of Brother Silvia.
The five-member party began to enter the Galpagos hunting quest area. It seems that Egi really thought about his members when forming a party. Egi and Zevan, as long-range main attackers, began shooting at Galpagos monsters resembling the shape of an eagle that was flying at high speed with their arrows and ice punches respectively.
Then Asti as a fighter was instrumental in protecting the two long-range attackers in his party.
Silvia's brother, who was also an archer, immediately positioned himself as the main attacker at long range, shooting at the Galpagos roaming the sky. A level 105 player is different. The shots were so efficient, powerful, and accurate. In a single shot, he could eliminate ten, no, maybe twenty or so Galpagos at the same time.
To the extent that it makes Egi immediately gaping do not believe in the prowess of the two-ranked player in the game The Last Gardenia.
Now I am confused as to what to do. Now I understand why Egi seems reluctant to take me to his party. As an assassin, I don't have any ranged attack skills. Nor can I move like Asti who is a fighter capable of protecting his comrades from close range attacks.
I just realized that I was completely useless in this party.
But instantly I recall the title I just got, ‘sang commander’.
Although the skill is called ‘sang komandan’, this skill has certain secrets. With certain treatment, a commander can function as a cheerleader. Yes, a buff effect of words through this skill.
“Come, Egi, Brother Silvia, Asti, Zevan, you can definitely! The spirit! Come on, never give up! Show your greatness!”
From a fighter, I also changed positions to be a cheerleader.
But it was not in vain and it seemed that my other colleagues were also immediately aware of the significant changes that were taking place in their bodies.
“So this is your new title effect huh, Luca?” Said Brother Silvia who finally realized them what really happened.
Through the medium of my voice coupled with their strong belief in me, this title is able to give a buff effect on the attack and defense of teammates to the maximum level.
I finally found my role in this party.
“Already expected, you are indeed the right rival for me, Luca. You always come back stronger with strange skills. How can I not salute you.” That is what Egi said.
It seems that his trust in me has returned to its maximum level as well.
Everything until that moment went fine. But why all of a sudden, that fateful event once again happened to me?
