Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Chapter 182 Truth and Cause and Effect

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Asuna are the two most famous players in SAO today, especially Fujimaru Ritsuka, who is the commander of the strategy team. Even if they have never met her, they have at least heard of her name.

[Legendary Brave] Their goal is to rush to the forefront of players, join the strategy team, and gain fame. Naturally, they have also imagined meeting Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But the current situation is obviously beyond their imagination.

".Is there anything else you want to say?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka calmly recounted the entire fraud process they had deduced, and then asked the [Legendary Heroes] in front of them.

"."

There was deathly silence in the room. The heads of the players of [Legendary Brave] were all lowered, and their faces showed many expressions of regret, anxiety, uneasiness, annoyance, etc.

At this time, the spearman named Cu Chulainn suddenly raised his head and said stubbornly:

"In the final analysis, these are just your words, and there is no substantive evidence at all."

"Cu Chulainn would not say such a thing, let alone do such a thing."

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at him, and although her tone remained calm, it left him speechless.

Especially the content of her words made him feel ashamed immediately, so he could only lower his head again and bury it even lower.

At this time, Asuna, who looked serious, said from the side:
  "There is as much evidence as you need. As long as you gather the victims together, they will find that their weapons were all broken in the hands of the same blacksmith. That's why you keep shifting positions, from [Urubas 】You moved here, didn’t you?”

"Well"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room sank again.

Nezha, the blacksmith who was the main perpetrator of the fraud, gritted his teeth when he heard this. It seemed that after making some determination, he suddenly stood up from his seat and said:
  "I'm sorry, I did all the defrauding of players and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

".At this point, all I can do is...!"

Before he finished speaking, under the shocked eyes of everyone, he suddenly sprinted to the side and hit the stone wall in the room, making a dull collision sound!

In the safe zone, players cannot attack each other, but the collision damage with the building still exists. The collision just now directly deducted nearly half of the opponent's health.

However, Nezha's movements still did not stop, and he kept banging his head against the wall, like a madman.

"What are you doing!?"

"Things are not serious yet, please calm down!"

"Don't joke with your life!"

But at this time, the other players of [Legendary Brave] finally reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back to prevent him from doing stupid things again.

Nezha, who was suppressed on the ground and unable to move, kept muttering with tears streaming down his face:
  "sorry Sorry sorry"

The first time she encountered such a situation, Asuna couldn't help but panic, but she quickly calmed down, took the initiative to walk to Nezha and said to him sternly:

"What's the difference between your behavior and escaping?"

"Do you not only want to leave your companions alone to escape responsibility, but also want them to blame themselves for your death for the rest of their lives!?"

Faced with such a severe reprimand, Nezha finally recovered some of his sanity, and he said in a trembling voice:
  "No, I didn't. I just wanted to die to apologize."

“But this won’t solve any problems, it will only make them more troublesome.”

Asuna mercilessly denied his words, causing Nezha to fall into silence with a guilty look on his face.

However, the other party seemed to have listened to Asuna's words and no longer wanted to seek death, which made his companions breathe a sigh of relief.

Nezha's reaction and actions were a surprise to both parties, but it also broke the silent deadlock. Captain Orlando said to Nezha:       "Nezha, it was our mutual decision to commit fraud. Something happened. It should also be borne by us together.”

"Eh?"

Nezha looked at the other party in confusion upon hearing this.

The next moment, Orlando was seen kneeling in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka in a Dogeza position.

Upon seeing this, the other team members looked at each other, nodded firmly, and knelt down behind Orlando.

"Sorry, we have committed enhanced fraud on other players, please sanction us!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Asuna looked at each other when they saw this, and their original serious faces finally dissolved, and a trace of smile appeared.

In fact, if the other party has a really bad attitude or does not intend to repent, although they will certainly not kill the player, they can still make their existence known to all players and give them a social death.

However, although there were some people in the middle who wanted to quibble, the overall attitude shown by the other party still gave the ending a little room for redemption.

Compensation and apology to victims is a given.

Although they exchanged almost all the weapons they obtained through fraud for resources to strengthen and improve themselves, because part of the resources they earned themselves were also included, as long as they sold all the existing equipment they had, they could still get enough. Cole of Indemnity.

As for whether the victims will forgive their actions and what retaliatory actions they will take against them, this is the price they need to bear.

[Legendary Warriors] was a team formed in another virtual stealth action game, and Nezha was also among them, but his name at that time was the name of another famous hero, not Nezha now.

Although the other one is also virtual stealth, it is so crude compared to SAO that it can’t even be considered a demo. Therefore, after learning about the upcoming public beta of SAO, they planned to collectively move to SAO and continue playing together.

Putting aside the issue of SAO becoming a death game on the day of the open beta, after they mustered up the courage to start grinding monsters and leveling up, they suddenly encountered another problem——

Nezha is an FNC, that is, a person who is not used to being a full stealth player.

Not adapting to full stealth, that is, the brain cannot adapt to the electrical signals generated by the game connection, which may cause certain sensory problems in the game, or the inability to control the body.

Nezha's ability to successfully log into SAO shows that his FNC symptoms are not serious, but unfortunately, his FNC symptoms are too inconsistent with SAO——

He cannot judge the distance between himself and objects through his sight, that is, he has no sense of distance.

In other games, this is not a big problem, because there are long-range professions such as magicians and archers and sure-hit attacks. However, in SAO, which focuses on melee combat with cold weapons, this small shortcoming is fatal.

Even so, he initially wanted to fight monsters, so he learned the [Flying Sword] skill and started leveling up with his companions.

However, the props of [Flying Sword] are consumables. Although the skill can be used with stones on the roadside, the attack power is very low, so the leveling progress of his companions is also slowed down by him.

After persisting for two weeks, he finally recognized the reality and was ready to give up his plan to become a warrior and become a production player.

To be honest, the atmosphere was quite heavy at that time. Nezha also knew that he was dragging everyone down, so he was afraid that they would leave him like this.

In fact, the reason why Nezha changed his name in SAO was to express his obedience and flattery to his other companions in a subtle way, hoping that they would not abandon him.

But now it seems that he is indeed judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Nezha:

"So, you thought of a way to strengthen the fraud?"

"No, this idea was not Nezha's idea."

Orlando changed his words awkwardly. After Nezha said, "Just scream like before," he relaxed a little and continued:

"We were having a meeting in a tavern in the public area. In the middle of the meeting, a male player wearing a black raincoat suddenly interrupted and offered us the idea."
