The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 226:

“Good idea . ”

“Yes, it is . ”

John Overton asked me to organize a gathering of Hell Difficulty challengers to hold various discussions about Hell Difficulty .

It is definitely a good proposal .

The gathering would bring great help to those suffering alone as Hell Difficulty challengers in the servers of other countries .                 

Just like me, both Lee Hyung Jin and John Overton enjoy talking to each other .

What they need is empathy .

It would be beneficial for the people trapped on the 1st floor of Hell Difficulty .

Most challengers of Hell Difficulty are stuck on the 1st floor just trying to survive .

They think they are completely different beings from me and Lee Hyung Jin .

They treat me and Lee Hyung Jin like mutated geniuses to justify their stagnant behavior .

I wonder if they would gain some motivation if they see people besides us challenging Hell Difficulty .

There must be challengers on the 1st floor in other servers, so communicating with them may improve their lives .

I should seek Kim Min Hyuk for advice .

The event is in everyone’s interest .

The suffering challengers from servers of various countries can improve their mental state by gathering together, but there are other purposes as well .

No one knows when conflicts between servers will erupt .

Although the tournament will come to an end soon, we still need a way to alleviate or eliminate  these conflicts .

We don’t know when the next tournament is and, most of all, the situation may be the same outside the tutorial .

And at the center of that discord are the challengers of Hell Difficulty .

Even if the main force in every server are the Hard Difficulty rankers, Hell Difficulty challengers can’t be ruled out as combatants .

Even if they are in the minority, their potential cannot be ignored because they challenged the highest difficulty .

It is of great significance for these people to unite with each other since they will play a leading role in political conflicts .

I’m at the top of the Hell Difficulty challengers .

With me as a symbol, it’s not unreasonable to host a party just for Hell Difficulty challengers .

And it wouldn’t be hard to convince the other server’s Hell Difficulty challengers to gather together .

They’d all be eager to get some information .

So long as they want to avoid death and continue progressing, they’ll definitely want to learn from my experiences and know-how .

Just like John Overton right now .

I can easily subdue any disturbance that may happen at the party so it wouldn’t be a risky venture .

The proposal is completely beneficial in many ways .

Obviously I can’t do it alone, so I’ll put this matter on the agenda and ask others for their suggestions .

“Ha ha!”

Lee Joon Suk’s voice comes from afar .

And then there is the sound of something breaking .

“You really work hard . ”

Lee Hyung Jin says .

Somehow he doesn’t seem as friendly as his words sound .

His tone is curt .

“I feel the same way . ”

Said John Overton .

His words might have a double meaning for some reason .

While we were talking, Lee Joon Suk focused on the instance dungeon .

He wasn’t like this at first .

No, on second thought, he was like that at first .

As soon as the stage starts and enemy monsters appear, me and the other Hell Difficulty challengers quietly step back .

Unlike us, Lee Joon Suk charges swiftly forward the moment he sees the monsters because he will handle this battle alone .

Although it’s considered cowardly to leave the fight to your teammates, Lee Hyung Jin and John Overton receive this willingly .  

I understand them .

No matter how feeble the enemies in the front look, there is no need to unnecessarily waste energy . .

You never know when an unexpected threat will come .

This is how we survived and we’ll do the same in the future .

I step back to watch Lee Joon Suk and Lee Hyung Jin fight .

Lee Joon Suk fights alone, not only because of us poor Hell Difficulty challengers, but for another reason as well .

It’s the female challenger named Lee Jin that he brought along .

Looking at Lee Joon Suk who is exaggerating his skills against enemies that can be easily subdued, his intentions can be easily guessed . .

“He’ll die an early death if he continues like this . ”

Lee Hyung Jin mutters .

That’s no way to talk about a colleague who is pushing himself ahead .

I ask in a tone of surprise when I hear those harsh words .

“Do you hate him?”

“Absolutely . ”

His quick response rivals that of a robot .

I ask John, who is nodding .

“You too?”

“Of course I do . ”

I’m surprised that even John Overton hates him despite being from a foreign server .

I ask them what kind of history they have, but it was brushed off as nothing .

Then I ask why if there is no history .

“It’s not just him, all Hard Difficulty challengers are **** . “

“It’s more annoying since that behavior is typical for Hard Difficulty challengers . ”

Both Lee Hyung Jin and John Overton spoke their minds .

The issue isn’t their personal feelings, but the overall public image of Hard Difficulty challengers .

I continue to inquire .

“I don’t like them . They are far too arrogant . The level of Hard Difficulty can only be taken with a grain of salt . “

“Yes, it’s clear that instance dungeons are not very dangerous, but they act like they’ve miraculously survived . ”

That seems to be a common feature among Hard Difficulty challengers .

If even John Overton said that, the same could be true for other servers .

There are some people among the Hard Difficulty challengers who love to show off their superiority .

It’s a characteristic that everyone knows about, causing the Order of Vigilance to be concerned about this problem .

According to the Order of Vigilance, Hard Difficulty challengers are boasting about themselves too much in the community, causing other people discomfort .

It is said that the factions that make up the Order of Vigilance are mainly composed of Normal Difficulty rankers .

Although Park Jong-sik is in charge of managing the Hard Difficulty challengers, there’s a limit to sanctioning them because he is also a Hard Difficulty ranker .

Kim Min Hyuk asking me to keep an eye on Lee Joon Suk is an extension of this problem .

I’m well informed about this problem, but I thought that only Easy and Normal Difficulty challengers would be troubled by this matter, I never thought that this matter would also disturb Hell Difficulty challengers .

After listening to Lee Hyung Jin and John Overton, I learned that the higher difficulty challengers seem to be more displeased than the lower difficulty challengers .

“American servers will directly determine the whole server’s direction of development according to the wishes of Hard Difficulty challengers . I found out how serious the problem was after seeing their tourism . ”

“I hoped they wouldn’t brag to the community as veterans who’ve overcome the adversities of **** . It’s really embarrassing to see that kind of thing…… . ”

“Although the translator didn’t translate the meaning, I’m able to interpret it . It’s disgusting to see how hard they work to comfort each other as if they’ve done something extraordinary . “

“They’re just eating each others assholes…… . ”

Note : They’re just sucking up to each other in a sense . The raws specifically say assholes/buttholes so I’m leaving that . – GodlyCash

Emm…

Let’s stop here .

Lee Hyung Jin and John Overton have been complaining about Hard Difficulty challengers for a while .

They began to swear as they talked, for no reason .

After listening, it turns out that their discomfort doesn’t stem from being challenged by those of a lower difficulty .

They feel dissatisfied because these people have something they don’t .

Colleagues who can challenge the floor together and spend time in the waiting room .

Their difficulty is relatively less dangerous .

So they have a higher hope of surviving into the future .

I understand them .

“Is that what Hell Difficulty challengers from other servers think as well?”

“Yes . ”

“Of course . ”

There’s another reason to bring Hell Difficulty challengers together .

It seems necessary to resolve their sense of relative deprivation .

The party can only be held in the irregular tournaments, but the companionship they’ll feel will reduce their solitary pressure .

“Hyung Jin, John, don’t compare yourselves to challengers of other difficulties . This is not a good habit . Especially at Hell Difficulty . Nothing changes just because you compare what you don’t have to others . What’s important is how you overcome each obstacle in your situations . ”

I’ve rambled on for a while, but both Lee Hyung Jin and John Overton aren’t convinced .

I think I am a bit too old-fashioned when I finish my speech .

However, I am speaking the truth so I hope they heed my words .

It’s impossible to move to another difficulty regardless .

The number of Hell Difficulty challengers will not increase abruptly and the actual hazards will have no significant drop so it won’t be simple to tackle .

As we move forward in time, things will only worsen .

I know that these people are in a hell-like situation, but only their actions can free them from their own **** .

Unfortunately, this is the only way .

After my sermon, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly cools down .

The enthusiasm and sympathy they’ve experienced after such a long time probably caused their enraged behavior .

The thoughts that had been hidden deep inside their heart suddenly rises to the surface .

I would know .

* * *

After the battle, Lee Joon  Suk comes over .

He’s completed almost the entire dungeon alone, but there is no dissatisfaction on his face .

On the contrary, he is grateful to have a chance to stand out .

“We have to divide the team into three groups here . We should split into three teams and then rendezvous at the last stage of this dungeon . ”

There are three branched paths in front of Lee Joon Suk .

I ask if we could maintain a single group, but Lee Joon Suk informs me that there are 3 tokens we must collect at the end of each branched path in order to complete the dungeon . .

The description is quite detailed .

This guy may have known about the dungeon beforehand .

“You and Lee Jin will be a team . “

“Yeah, got it . ”

Seeing him answer so readily tells me that it was meant to be arranged this way .

“I’ll go with Hyung Jin to this branch . “

“Do I have to go alone?”

John Overton asks .

“No . ”

I turn my head and glance at the frog who has been silent .

“Keeeek！”

The frog raises his forelimbs in a swoop as if he was waiting for my signal .

What a flexible frog .

“You’re with the frog . It’s just the right amount of participants . ”

John Overton starts to look like death after being told to team up with the frog .

It’s easy to work with the frog .

Obedient and discerning .

You can also mount it .

His torso is furry because his body is a dog’s instead of a frog’s . .

“But I came here in order to witness your strength… . ”

“Keeek!”

“Look, the frog wants to be with you . Go with it . “

“…No, I…”

“Keeeek!

“OK, fine . ”
