There are as many different types of professions in the Real World Online as there are stars in the sky, and even more transitions than that.
　This is supported by the normal derivation, which allows you to change jobs naturally once you reach a certain level, and the special derivation, which allows you to choose to change jobs on the condition that your ability exceeds a certain value, completes a specific request (quest), or even wins a tournament or event.

　For example, in the case of Nahato, after choosing to become a dragon apprentice at first, she would go through the process of becoming strong in the magic system by completing the errand-based quests available at the Ryusenkyo, and then choose a dragon that has her soul in her hands through higher level transformation. .

　Among the special derivations like the Dragon Princess, the most powerful were the limited professions (limit jobs) that had a limit on the number of people who could change jobs.
　Among them, the occupation bearing the imperial title was famous for having only seven seats available for it.
　On top of that, it was also quite distinctive and an occupation that was endlessly difficult to maintain.

　The imperial throne was not only a limited occupation (limit job), but it was also a profession that could be usurped.
　Once an emperor's rank is achieved, if it is defeated in a formal duel (duel), it will lose its imperial rank.
　Initially, the first event, the first Martial King's Decisive Battle, was held to liberate the imperial professions, but since then, a bunch of volunteer Martial Professions Guilds have banded together to hold this event jointly, and it has become an annual event. Aside from the wild game, it was also the only opportunity to gain the imperial title.

　The letters applied to the name 'emperor' come from the transitions that those chosen to be emperor have followed.
　Kroné, who believes in beast gods and fights with a single fist, is the Fist Emperor (Kaiser Monk), while the fourth chieftain, a self-proclaimed samurai who loves to travel, is the Sword Emperor (Kaiser Saber).
　They often engaged in mock battles of strength, and not once had the two of them competing with each other ever lost their imperial titles to others.

　Nacht watched them fight in the guild's arena from the audience.
　The sight of the two of them fighting while shattering the terrain, intermingling and flashing, looked like a single art form at the earliest.

.....

"Hahaha, I don't want to be told by Krone-dono who strikes back (counter) to an attack that he shouldn't have been able to detect, that I don't want to be told that.
　At the same time as she said it, four flying slashes from the blade that was swept through at an unstoppable speed approached Cronet-san, but she easily evaded them as she ran through the air with her skywalk and moved fast with her tenshou.
　It would be an offensive and defensive move with a strong sense of check and balance, as both of them are in close quarters positions.

　The distance between the two of them from Nacht's point of view opened up about fifteen meters. If one of them moved, the distance would be lost in an instant, and it could be said that the distance would be within a few tenths of a second to make an attack.
　All that could be relied upon was their senses and the phosphorescence that was a sign of skill (skill) activation.
　The two of them who were weaving in and out of reality and playing games were a kind of master.

　The battles in the real world online go far beyond the realm of play.
　It's a mixture of RPGs, action and fighting games, and it's a lot of work for the operator.

　First of all, you need at least three screens.
　In Tetsu's case, there's a character screen and a mini-map at the front of the game, a screen on the left for detecting skills, showing the terrain around you, and an auxiliary screen for benefiting from viewpoint-sharing skills, and a third screen that shows you, your opponent, and your friends' status.
　In addition to a dedicated controller to control your character, there's a keyboard that shortcuts the use of buffs and items. You've even bought a microphone with voice recognition, and you're finally ready for high-level combat.

　The player's skill is ingrained in each and every casual attack and defense.
　However, it could be said that - each and every one of them has their own habits.
　At a short distance, the attack chosen by the fourth chieftain would probably be a sprinting iai.

　So, the next moment after Nacht made his prediction - the fourth chieftain disappeared, diluted as if his shadow wavered.
　Three times the sound of impact could be heard, and a quiet crash could be heard.

　The Fourth Chieftain, who had been in front of Cronet-san a moment ago, was on her back. At the same time, along with an intense damage effect that glowed blue, Krone-san knocked back significantly and her HP gauge decreased.
　Behind them were the broken earth and walls - and the scaffolding that had been stepped over and the crumbling structures that were left behind.

''Hey, what happened!
　A recently joined gil-in, who was watching the game beside Nahat, asked Nahat about it.
　Incidentally, the Otherworld Café (Outer Cafeteria) is a relatively loose guild with relatively loose membership restrictions that welcomes even beginners if they pass the interview.　　　

'Hide your figure with no shadow and accelerate to the first level - accelerate to another level with boundary crossing - accelerate to the third level with the speedy iaijutsu (mastery), and then grant the attribute. --After increasing my sword extraction speed and destructive power with Reisui, I attack with skills (skills) and Shigure. If it's only an instantaneous attack speed, it might be faster than my AGI-specialized one. Besides, I'm intentionally shifting the timing of my attacks by creating a pause in the connection of my skills when I accelerate.
　The result of this was the earth and wall that was an extension of the sword blade.

"Ho-hee, Mr. Fourth, you're amazing.
　Nacht nodded at such words.

''It's just that in this case.......the one who should be truly astonished, or maybe even dumbfounded, is Cronet-san, the one who is crazy.......''
　At a glance, it seemed as if the fourth chieftain's full-throated attack had pierced through.
　In fact, Krone-san's HP had visibly decreased.

''........?''
　Nacht says to a questioning Gilin.

'Look closely, there's more than one HP you're losing--'

Ah!
　Yes, the fourth chieftain's HP is also decreasing, albeit slightly.

"Throwing away your defense and counterattacking with all your might (full counter).......this is insane. Moreover, daring to match up with a battoujutsu that is so f*cking fast, it can only be called madness.

''But when it comes to HP attrition rates, Fourth Generation is still the winner, right?
　In the real world online, it is said that at least a hundred factors are included in the damage calculation when attacking, but there are probably three that matter.
　The total attack power, the timing of the attack and the location of the hit.
　The timing of these attacks is particularly important, and they change continuously in the world of fractions of a second. The distance between them, the distance between their weapons, the nature of their skills, and so on, all of which are appropriate for the moment of activation, change from one moment to the next to determine the advantage or disadvantage of their attacks.

But that's not really the case, is it?
　Saying that, I look at the fourth chieftain, and it's clear that his movements have slowed down.

''Natsuko--even if it's just a light stroke on the chin, it's a godsend of a monster--at that timing, you do it well--''
　From the beginning, Cronet-san must have been aiming for the current situation.

''-- The paralysis that fist fighters (grapplers) and other fighting types deal with is far more troublesome than magic and poison, and even if you can speed up the time it takes to recover, it's almost impossible to nullify it...'' ...Especially once you've taken an attack combined with a neck or a pore, you're paralyzed for a while, unless you're in a recovery position.
　The floor cracked from stepping in for the counter and the damage on the side of the structure that had collapsed in the aftermath was the damage she had caused.

'So you're saying you were invited to join us.

''Well, yes, but........the only person in all the players who could successfully counter a divine speed Battoujutsu opponent by challenging him to a one-shot timing game is that guy........ Don't try to imitate...
　The moment of skill activation, which determines the advantage or disadvantage of an attack, is so vague and fluid that you have to rely solely on your senses over the years to make a decision.
　Even though she is a quintessential woman, considering the rate of HP attrition, she was probably just barely able to match it. Nacht wouldn't have taken such a gamble first, and I don't think she would have succeeded.

''Utterly... what kind of heart does she have...''

　In the end, the match ended up being a win for Cronet.
　Three fights, one win, one loss and one tie, so for better or worse, the two are very competitive.
　I am sure their overall battle records will be similar.

''You're not going to fight too, Nacht-san--?
　The newcomer said to Nacht, perhaps taking the heat from the battle between the masters.

'I'm a no-win principle--if I'm going to fight those guys, I'm going to pull the main one.

That's what I want to see.

Ha, but in that case - I'm sure they're going to feel the same way I do now...
　Then Nacht smiled wryly.
