On the last episode of Generika 0ffline...
Hello, readers ♥
I'm Valeria Fullbright, manager of the 1st Class Trial Dungeon's tutorial arena. Last episode, an unremarkable NPC named "Quinn" challenged the dungeon in hopes of graduating to [Drifter], the default [Class] for new Heroes with no specialty! When I found out he'd never been tested before, I put him through the combat tutorial in my precious pocket world.
The poor thing was overwhelmed at first. When I raised his [Attributes] and lent him [Skills] for our lesson, he acted as though his own body were a foreign object. Quinn's super cute when he's puzzled. I don't think he'd agree, but he was even cuter when the practice monster we picked started chasing him. Those teary eyes... that desperate scrambling... it was like watching a helpless pet monster run around. So, so, so~o precious!
Oh, dear. Am I too frank about my feelings? I'm sorry, reader. I just can't help myself! Newbies are so moe when they're scared! Ah~ Being the combat tutorial instructor is a dream come true~

So!
Despite the tutorial's five-minute time limit, Quinn emerged victorious after blasting the dummy「King Slime」 away with his newfound [Skills]. Not a bad performance! Yes, I had to hint at the monster's weakness... but as someone with zero combat experience and mediocre [Attributes], Quinn proved his potential by casting [Observation I] and [Concentrated Strike] until he'd whittled its HP down past 0. Not everyone who plays the tutorial gets an [Overkill] on their first victory!
Sadly, I must return him to the main dungeon. In Episode 2, my colleague Antoine Belcourt will assess him during the trial proper. Antoine's not fun like I am. Poor Quinn will probably miss this helpful big sister, don't you think? It's a shame I won't get to see him scrabbling around in fea... I mean, making his first real kill. I'm genuinely proud of him, though, and I've no doubt that he'll be a passable [Marksman] someday.
Look forward to Generika 0ffline, Episode 2: That Dungeon, Surprisingly Intimidating! Ta-ra!
