[Hello everyone~ This is your host of the 'Love Blue Sky' show, Silvia. There was a huge incident that occurred today in Blue Sky. We'll report what it is in a moment so please don't change the channel~]
The host was a beautiful woman with black hair and foreign-looking blue eyes wearing quite a deep neckline that was hard to take your eyes off.
[Mr. Cruise. They said there's a huge turbulence in the world of Blue Sky, just what is the news that's rocking this world right now?]
As the hostess turned to talk to a middle-aged blonde-haired man called Cruise, I pondered whether to change the channel or not, but then decided to stay as I realized that a huge event had occurred in Blue Sky.
[Yes, as I'm sure you Blue Sky players already know, but there was a notice that the legendary tier equipment, 'Merlin's Staff', has appeared in the world. There's also the fact that we had confirmed that the staff was taken up by Artoria, the fixed number 1 ranking player in the server who had presumably gained it after completing an SSS tier quest.]
It seemed that things were happening as I suspected.
[Aha! You mean that famous Artoria? I'm a fan as well. But there's also a chance that it wasn't Artoria who received the staff, isn't there?]
Seeing Silvia express her doubt, I couldn't help but crack a sad smile. It would have been great if everyone believed that, but…
[Ah, well once you see this submitted video evidence, you'll see for yourself that it was Artoria who picked it up.]
Hm? Video? Both curiosity and worry started mixing in my mind.
[Ah! To submit such a valuable video for this channel, I, the hostess Silvia, would like to thank you for your generosity. We'll show the submitted video after this highlight reel.]
Like a good TV channel running by ad revenue, it showed a highlight reel where a number of plain-looking ranking players were doing all sorts of things to try to make themselves look cool.
All they were doing was showing off flashy moves and skills, practically tickling the monster to death rather than being efficient and blowing them away in a single skill. It showed that they were arrogant and liked to show off rather than be skillful.
Although TV channels often have flashy show-off scenes to captivate the general audience, it was still true that being way too show-offy like that just made them cringe a little.
The only clip that I actually liked among them was one where about 6 mages used a magic circle to conjure an 'Area of Effect' magic. There was clearly quite a lot of effort put into the making of this video as the background and positioning of the cameras as well as the players were quite unique. I felt that the only error I could see in my eyes was that most of them were guys.
As I put that sorrow behind me, several more clips of highlights went by.
Knock knock!
Hearing the anticipated knocks on the door, I lowered the TV volume and told them to come in.
"My lady, I've brought your meal."
Sara and a number of maids who I didn't know stepped inside the room with large dishes. They eventually set down the dishes in front of me, with the varieties being quite numerous for a so-called 'simple meal'.
"This is a Sunday roast."
so I carefully cut off a piece and placed it in my mouth.
"That's delicious!"
"I'm glad that it is to your liking. We'll be waiting outside, please call for us whenever you've finished eating."
"Okay."
After filling up my belly somewhat, I turned my eyes towards the TV just in time to see the hostess Silvia walk out.
[Wow, thank you for the amazing highlight reel of those great high ranked players. Now then, we'll reveal the video that you've all been waiting for!]
The scene changed to one of the grassy plains in a hilly area. The view then changed as the sight went down towards the StoneHenge in the area below.
Then I saw a familiar figure doing their hardest to take down Death Knights.
Seeing the person taking down Death Knights fluently and gracefully with their two handed sword with ease, they looked quite familiar to me. That's right, take their head off with a single strike there, dodge the charge attack with a small sidestep and slash behind you.
Oh… Looks like it's me.
Although it certainly was surprising that there was a video recorded of me fighting, the more interesting thing was that I was viewing myself in 3rd person fighting against a number of Death Knights with ease and grace. I was able to somewhat understand the reason why team managers would often watch replays of their previous matches. I was definitely able to figure out some of my mistakes and flaws in my moves as I watched myself, although it didn't mean that I knew perfectly what to do next time. Since it was my first time getting used to all the skills I had, I was being more crazy using all the different overpowered skills I had at will rather than looking like I knew completely what I was doing.
The recorded video also showed the appearance of the Bone Dragon, as well as the battle that followed afterwards. Seeing the gigantic size of the bone dragon once again on the screen, I couldn't help but start to feel adrenaline go through my veins again.
But it was still very enjoyable being able to sit back and watch it happen instead of being in that position myself. I was able to relive the feeling of accomplishment as well as the excitement from earning the legendary tier item all over again.
The video ended with the skull of the Bone Dragon being cleaved in half. Then the show moved onto a hot discussion about the clip by the two main hosts as well as another adviser, but as the conversation they were having was uninteresting and not very useful, I lost interest and turned off the TV.
