The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Chapter 21



Glaskan Subjugation Battle (1)

The longer you play ‘Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman’, the more its true nature is revealed.

There are unexpected intentions in lightly passing elements, and there are special episodes that make you wonder if this scenario is hidden in these parts, and you also realize things you didn’t know about characters who have already left the show.

If you are immersed in a world that has been created with a lot of effort, including students, faculty, and characters from outside groups, the main scenario will soon be completed, and there was a charm that made you play the next episode out of disappointment.

It’s indescribable how unfair it is for me to be one of the few in such a wide and rich world who is forced to leave at the very beginning of a scenario, but that’s not what I want to say right now.

In the first place, it is a self-evident fact that as there are many characters, they cannot all be given equal weight.

If someone is significant and influential, it is natural for someone to remain on the sidelines and disappear to the back of the stage.

However, I have felt a sense of discomfort at least once.

Act 2 boss ‘Investigator Glast’, Act 3 boss ‘Lucy the Awakened’, Act 4 boss ‘Matriarch Crepin Rosstaylor’, etc. The importance given to each character varies, but it is clear that all the bosses in each chapter were portrayed with great effort. did.

He had various motivations and backgrounds to stand there and block the main character, Tailly.

Each person’s values were different, their powers were all different, and in the end, their aesthetics had a strange power that made you nod your head.

However, there is no feeling of excitement as much as the Act 1 boss Yenica Palover.

Among all the bosses that captivate the player with their own aesthetics and dazzling abilities, Yenica Palover was the only one who showed no ‘individuality’.

The sight of him falling for the whispers of Velosper, a high-ranking dark spirit, and taking over the student center, unleashing Velosper’s ‘berserk’ on all the spirits that contracted with him, and gazing into the approaching darkness from the top of Nail Hall… .It certainly may have had an impact.

The discrepancy from the always positive and energetic way he played around the school cannot but leave a strong impression on the player.

But that was it.

The Glaskan subjugation episode that marks the end of Act 1 is the moment where Tailly first realizes the Way of the Sword Saint and is the episode where he succeeds in cutting down the highest ranking spirit.

Tailley, who is gradually beginning to understand the way of the sword, cuts off Glaskan’s right arm, signaling the raising of the curtain on the epic story.

The level of difficulty itself was quite high, so I remember looking up a lot of strategies when I first played. Pepe… Was this a strategy used by someone who used the nickname? It’s such an old memory now that it’s meaningless.

Naturally, since all scenarios focus on Tailley’s growth, Yenika is relatively underprioritized. Therefore, many parts of the narrative about her are pushed to the background and ultimately become unknown.

I fell for the cruel whispers of Velosfer, a high-ranking dark spirit, and was completely consumed by the darkness in my heart… I ended up passing on such a vague explanation.

However, the ‘Failure Swordsman of Sylvania’ that I know of never wastes such an important character like this.

There must have been some intention or something they wanted to say in selecting Yenica Palover as the final boss of Act 1 rather than other characters.

However, in the end, no one found out that the intention was absurd. As a fan, I analyzed it quite passionately and thought about it a lot, but I was lacking many clues.

Were there any parts that were cut out during the production or inspection process?

When I thought about it that way and finished it, I felt really uncomfortable. Well… I couldn’t help it though.

“I guess I’ll have to build a cabin too.”

The next day, I repeated those words as if I had decided.

I also gained stamina. Using magic, processing materials also speeds up to a certain extent. We have started accumulating a certain amount of food, so we don’t have to worry about eating tomorrow.

We need to start laying the groundwork to survive in this forest in the long term.

I cannot say with empty words that the wooden shelter used as my resting place is durable. Although maintenance is ongoing, I honestly can’t say that it is a product that is very useful compared to the labor that goes into it.

Unless you live in a house with walls and a roof, heating efficiency is very poor. Although the weather is nice now in spring, I have to think about the fact that I have to spend three winters in this forest. Such crumbling shelters alone cannot guarantee a stable living environment.

In addition, for items that require long-term projects, such as wooden cabins, the production skill increases exponentially.

This will be a good opportunity to increase the level of growth in daily life skills that have been slowly lagging. The mastery level of dexterity is blocked at level 10, and even in the case of ‘design’ skills, which are relatively difficult to increase proficiency compared to other skills, the growth is very sluggish.

In the end, since this character, Ed Ross-Taylor, is born with talent in the production field, there is no choice but to solve the problem in a way that the growth of that ability level has a positive effect on the other ability level.

If you have specialized talent, it is no different in reality or in games that it is advantageous to utilize that talent.

“Hmm… Now that I think about it, you said you’ve already captured the mid-boss of Act 1…”

It seems like there aren’t as many variables in the progression of the scenario as you might think.

I was heartbroken once when Lucy beat up Tailly during the joint combat practice, but looking at the news since then, it doesn’t seem to have been a factor that would have caused as much trouble in the progress as expected.

I also heard the news that ‘Nosy Elvira’ from the Pension Department, the mid-boss in Act 1, was beaten by Tailley, and I also caught with my ears the fact that Princess Fenia was hanging out in the student council and being mentioned among the faculty and staff as a candidate for the next student council president.

Also, the episode where Golden Daughter Lortel reconciles with Yenica… Seeing as Lortel came to visit not long ago, it seems to be going well.

Everything seems to be going well according to the ‘affairs’ I know, so there doesn’t seem to be anything to worry about as the episode progresses.

Above all, I’m not in a position to rush around because I’m worried that other people’s work won’t go well. I need to quickly develop myself, take care of what I need, and think about sucking the honey out of my life.

If you worry about others and get in your way, there is no other way to lead the way.

“We need to get busy…”

There is still quite a bit of time left before the first act ends. The tuition issue also needs to be resolved, but with regard to grades, we are making progress at a fairly good pace, so I think we could see surprisingly positive results.

With a satisfied smile, I began to prepare the fish I had brought from the fish farm. I caught a fairly large fish today. This was my first time cooking such a large fish, so I thought a lot about how to approach it.

If something is unclear, just salt it and bake it and it’s all delicious.

I’ve roughly prepared this for dinner, and I’ve also collected a lot of herbs that Belle Maia told me about, so let’s make some fragrant herbal tea with them and then go to study in the evening.

It was the evening of the next day when Yenica Palover took over the student center.

The final match of Act 1, which should have taken place at the end of the semester, has been pushed forward by a month.

In some ways, it was a disaster-like event.

* ※ This strategy article is the outline information and strategy of ‘Peperopepe”s ‘Act 1 boss strategy for beginners in as much detail as possible! (http://www.dlrjfrnedlgotjrgksp.co.kr/client/memopad=11231)’ This article summarizes the information.

※If you want a detailed strategy, please refer to the original article!

1 -10 Act 1 final scene.

Boss: Yennekar The elemental summoner *This is a boss battle consisting of a total of 5 phases. It’s quite long, so be sure to check the status of consumables and the durability of your equipment before entering the boss battle.

■Page 1. Convening a punitive force.

Achievement conditions: Summon ‘Princess of Mercy Fenia’, ‘Zix, Spear of Vegetation’, ‘Lortel the Golden Daughter’, ‘Ayla the Companion’, ‘Elvira the Nosy’, and ‘Clevious the Grim’ to the student square!

(Additional achievement condition) Summon ‘Romantic Adele’.

(Additional achievement condition) Summon ‘Idle Lucy’.

(Additional achievement condition) Summon the ‘Senior Maid Belle’.

Enemies that appear: Spirit’s Stigmata * 120 Protection Young Fluid Spirit * 60 Trace of Element * 60 Low-ranking Fire Spirit Goda * 1 Low-ranking Ice Spirit Elkyra * 1 Low-ranking Wind Spirit Norton * 1 Low-ranking Earth Spirit Pique * 1 Low-ranking Light Spirit Lakie * 1

※ If you approach the outskirts of the teaching building where the space sealing magic has been used, you will be judged to be instantly dead. Let’s not go out to the outskirts for no reason.

※ It is most efficient to move in that order: Olin Square, Obel Hall, Tanez Magic Supplies Storage, Archery Range, Nilton Research Institute, and Student Square on the west side.

※ It is not necessary to catch all the spirits controlling the movement path.

However, if you catch the fire spirit Goda and the light spirit Rakie, you can plan your movement path efficiently, so let’s subdue them in advance.

※ The additional achievement conditions are nothing special other than giving a little faction friendliness. These characters do not participate in the punitive force. However, be sure to meet ‘Romantic Adele’ as she provides useful buffs when defeating bosses.

If your goal is to clear 100%, you can find Adele playing the ukulele in the grass behind the archery range on the west side, Lucy taking a nap on the rooftop of the Obel Hall, and Belle next to the statue in Olin Square.

※ If you are thinking of investing in the alchemy skill, Spiritual Consciousness, it will be convenient later to increase your proficiency in Understanding Spirits and Sensitivity to Spirits during this phase.

■Page 2. Student Center Recapture Operation Conditions:

Find the location of Spirit Master Yenika.

Enemies that appear:

Stigmata of the Spirit * 30

Trace of the Elements * 30

Lieutenant Wind Spirit Pessey * 1

Lieutenant Fire Spirit Orgoath *1

Spirit Beast Altar * 1

※ Elementalist Yenika is located in the Nail Pavilion. However, it should not be the first to enter the nail tube. (If you choose the ‘Enter the Nail Pavilion first’ option suggested by Golden Daughter Lortel, a bad ending will appear immediately. Be careful!)

※ Lieutenant spirits do not take damage from attacks of the same nature as themselves. If you’re picky, wait until the subjugation team defeats the mid-level spirits.

※ If you enter Hays Hall first, the wind spirit Pessey will appear. If you enter the Glokt Hall first, the fire spirit Orgoath will appear. Please choose carefully considering your elemental skills.

※ There is a trick using a straight cut when attacking Altar, the spirit beast guarding the entrance to the Nail Pavilion. Please refer to the original article for detailed instructions.

■Page 3. Nail Pavilion Corridor Battle Achievement Condition:

Reach the combat practice area where Spiritist Yenika is located.

Appearing Enemy:

High-ranking Fire Spirit Tarkan * 1

※ The shape of the entrance road changes depending on the choice you make after defeating the Spirit Beast Altar. Let’s focus because the junction passes quickly.

※ The key is to continuously deal damage to the tail using the elemental slash learned in Act 1, Chapter 9. If you cut off the tail, you can use elemental slash again to attack the head.

※ Let’s avoid the ignition magic and tail whip that come flying periodically. When repeatedly damaged, the bleeding and burn states overlap.

※ During the battle, there is a cut scene where the pillars of the Severn Corridor collapse. If you fall on a pillar, you will die instantly, so be sure to avoid it.

■Page 4. Final battle achievement condition:

Destroy the summoning ceremony of the highest-ranking dark spirit ‘Glaskan’.

Appearing Enemies:

High-ranking Dark Spirit Velosper * 1

Elementalist Yenica Palover * 1

※ Phase 5 is only an event cutscene, so it is effectively the final battle. Let’s proceed with the mindset of using up all remaining consumables.

※ If you attack Yenika right away while she is constructing a summoning ceremony, the damage will be reflected by the ‘Dark Curtain’.

If you attack Velosper first and make him unconscious, the ‘Dark Curtain’ will be removed for a short period of time and you can deal damage to Yenika. However, be careful of the counter-attack magic that Yenika casts.

※ If Fenia, Princess of Love, who builds the defense formula, dies, a bad ending will appear immediately. Let’s continue to check our physical condition.

※ You become immune to Belosper’s ‘Curse of the Blood World’ if you meet ‘Romantic Adele’ in Phase 1. However, be careful as not all punitive forces are immune.

■Page 5. Conditions for subjugating Glaskan: Subdue the right arm of ‘Glasskan, the highest-ranking dark spirit.’

Appearing Enemy:

Highest Dark Spirit Glaskan (Right Arm) * 1

※ This is an event scene. All you have to do is enjoy it.

※ Afterwards, ‘Sword Seongsik’ will be added to the skill tab. If you reach the proficiency level, you will receive generous bonus abilities, so be sure to practice whenever you have time.

Others

※ If you do not reach Phase 5 and subdue Yenica Palover before dawn, ‘Intact Glaskan’ will be summoned and a bad ending will appear. Let’s move busily.

This is summarized information.

It seems like there are a lot of beginners who are stamping their feet because they can’t get past the first act. We’ve selected and summarized only the important information, so make sure to check it before entering the final battle.

Good luck!

The sound of an owl hooting somewhere in a dark forest.

The sound of insects stinging in the grass as if they were forming a chord to match it, or the sound of leaves occasionally swaying in the wind.

If you listen to it, the forest in the middle of the night has its own charm.

While looking at the crackling bonfire, I suddenly feel sentimental when I look up at the starry sky.

When I look at the countless stars that are like salt, I get a meaningless thought about how insignificant and insignificant what I am currently experiencing is from the perspective of this wide universe.

Additional thoughts accordingly.

─There is no guarantee that everything in the world will go according to ‘business’.

That obvious fact was so surprising that I burst out laughing again.

I have adapted quite well to this life. However, it is unacceptable to completely lack a sense of crisis.

I gathered myself again and threw the poker I was holding into the bonfire. It was time to end the day.

I stretched and quietly laid down in the shelter.

I hope tomorrow will be a peaceful day as well.
