Over the Infinite Chapter 14 Part 3

Yuki 「I guess you’re fine with that? You can just crawl out if you get in a trap. You’re also from the wild so you can find food wherever you go.」

Tsuna 「I don’t like how easily one can imagine what kind of image you have of me.」

Yuki 「I mean you actually will be alright. You can live a little extravagantly if you have water and curry powder, right?」

Tsuna 「Curry powder is… ah, well, I kind of forgot about it but I’ll buy some.」

Curry powder is great. With curry powder, even goblin meat would evolve from a Z-class meal to an X-class meal. It’s one of the items I prioritize in survival. Water is bulky but I need some so I’ll get some with a card. It’ll probably be three times more expensive than purchasing it normally, but I guess it’s unavoidable. Water is heavy anyway.

As a weapon I have Higekirezu so I’m sorted; the problem is armor. This time I want to avoid challenges in just clothes.

Yuki 「Well, if you fail I’ll come over for a laugh」

Tsuna 「You seem to think you won’t fail」

Yuki 「I mean, I am well prepared. Honestly we’re both likely to be fine, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to cut corners」

If he says so, I guess I’d be fine.

Yuki 「I bought some completion videos so I’ll lend you some that were good later. Just watching some footage should make quite a difference」

Tsuna 「Ah, I didn’t think of that. Makes sense though, must be great to actually know what to expect.」

It also means I can believe Yuki’s confidence in us even more if he’s seen the footage. It’s impressive that he seems to have watched and compared many videos in this short time period. One video is around two hours from what I know.

Yuki 「Another problem is the rookies match next month」

Tsuna 「Yeah」

In this annual event, rookie adventurers who have debuted within a year fight against middle rankers. Unfortunately, we don’t even have a whole month till the event but there’s nothing we can do about that.

Tsuna 「But it’s 3v1 right? Surely it’ll work out fine.」

By the way, even though they were weak among rankers, that cat-eared one was also a middle ranker. It does depend on the opponent, but if it was with three well prepared adventures I have some hope. We’ll be attempting right after our debut, but the others had time to strengthen themselves too.

Yuki 「That’s probably too optimistic of you.」

Tsuna 「You think so? I mean right now it’s obviously going to be hard, but with another strong guy and by properly putting effort in developing skills, won’t we make it? Especially with the environment we have.」

As the dungeon master said, adventures’ abilities change drastically after their debut, which is mostly because of the amount of support they can receive. Whether it’s purchasing skills, learning magic, participating in a training course… Even the information available is different.
The middle rankers have had access to the support longer than us, but newbies who’ve just debuted surely have a lot of growth space? Also, the opponent is unlikely to know about us, but we can find information about them and plan and prepare. In the first place, you seem to get some bonus award if you win, but it seems to be more of a fun festival so winning isn’t too important.

Yuki 「Again, too optimistic. I think you’ve forgotten something important.」

Tsuna 「W, what?」

Yuki 「Don’t you know that the rankers who enter the rookie match can choose which newbie team they want to fight?」

Yes, the rookie match is three freshly debuted adventures in one team, and middle rankers have access to the team information and the right to choose which team they agree to fight. If there’s a team that is chosen by multiple rankers, the one with a greater “guild contribution?” is prioritized.

Tsuna 「Yeah, I know that… so what?」

Yuki 「Can’t you tell then? Someone really strong will choose your group to fight with you. 」

Ah, now I get what he’s on about. So far, our record is faster than any other adventurer. Makes sense that people would like to see what we’re actually like. Even if the crime rate here is low, there’s likely to be a lot of hot-blooded guys among adventurers. There’s bound to be guys who want to try out the rumored strong newbie or destroy our confidence to bits.

Tsuna 「I guess we do stand out.」

Yuki 「Exactly. Even worse since rankers just have to be above middle ranks to enter the event, so might even match with a high ranker.」

Tsuna 「I don’t think that’ll happen. If they want to see how strong we are, watching us fight a middle rankers should be enough.」

Yuki 「Tsuna you should probably look up what the rumors about you are actually like. … It applies to me as well, but the way were treated online is a bit crazy.」

What, is there a thread exposing us? I’ll appear in it without any notice?

Yuki 「You know the internet forums for adventurers? The ones we heard about in our debut training.」

Tsuna 「Huh, yeah.」

Yuki 「It might be because we just freshly debuted, but on that site most of the posts are about us. The most posts were on “Thread to watch over newcomers who debuted this month” yesterday and there’s threads named after us too.」

Tsuna 「…………」

So it’s not just an exposing thread? I thought we were just being treated like a slightly impressive MMORPG player.

Yuki 「Even unrelated news summary threads mention us, especially about you. It’s not anonymous and users are limited so we should be glad that the threads aren’t as messed up as those in our former lives. It’s not that there’s bad stuff written about stuff anyway. It might be worth checking it out, since it normally seems to be used as a place to trade information.」

Tsuna 「Um, I’m suddenly worried now」

Yuki 「Well you’re too late then.」

Sounds weird, is our private life being discussed online as well? Is it better if I buy some sunglasses or something?

Here is a thread to watch the trends of newcomers right after their debut.
See the related URL for this month’s newcomer information.
The next thread will be declared and created by >>950. If it’s not possible, say so.
Inciting, trolling, and terawaros [1. TL Note: internet term for sarcastic and possibly offensive humor.] should be thoroughly ignored. Just don’t give the attention guys.

If you don’t have a tolerance for incitement, block the Terawaros for the time being, and if you find vandalism, report it to management.

Please refer to the top of the board for how to block users.
