Bulletin Board: Dungeon License Is Here! This Changes Everything!!

    11: NONAME

    11th!

    12: NONAME

    12th!

    13: NONAME

    13th... Wait, how long are we gonna keep doing this?

    14: NONAME

    Who knows? But does this mean dungeons are finally open to the public?

    15: NONAME

    Not exactly. I heard holding the license makes you a quasi-government worker. So, it’s a bit different from being open to just anyone.

    16: NONAME

    Seriously? Well, at least you can call yourself a civil servant. Good news for the unemployed, huh?

    17: NONAME

    But the craziest part is there''s no age restriction! Why is no one talking about that???

    18: NONAME

    >17 You clearly didn’t check the official site. Only people with existing abilities have no age limit.

    19: NONAME

    What site?

    20: NONAME

    The national website, obviously! The Ministry of Special Dungeon Affairs already has it up, dummy!

    21: NONAME

    Yep, no argument there, dummy.

    22: NONAME

    Well, there are already elementary school dungeon users, so...

    23: NONAME

    What?! How does that even happen? Why are kids diving into dungeons? Or is it some adult-in-a-kid-body detective thing???

    24: NONAME

    It’s because of the first wave. There was a shady trend of turning kids into dungeon users to protect them from monsters.

    25: NONAME

    Yeah, but those kids ended up breaking classmates'' arms at school, which became a big issue.

    26: NONAME

    Classic kids—no mercy.

    27: NONAME

    But imagine the trauma for the kids, too.

    28: NONAME

    No kidding... that actually happened?

    29: NONAME

    Well, the Sado Island incident and criminal users got more media attention, so it wasn’t widely reported.

    30: NONAME

    So, what’s the minimum age for non-users?

    31: NONAME

    >30 Look it up before posting. It’s 13.

    32: NONAME

    Got it, thanks.

    33: NONAME

    Still, 13 is too young. That’s middle school! Giving them a license to become users is like handing them knives or guns.

    34: NONAME

    But without a way to defend themselves, they’d just be dead weight if another Stampede happens.

    35: NONAME

    Hmm, a tricky situation.

    36: NONAME

    Especially since Country A loosened its gun laws. Considering global tensions, maybe the timing makes sense.

    37: NONAME

    Yeah, if regulations were stricter, people would complain during a Stampede: "If only they had powers, they’d have survived!" But loosen them too late, and they’ll call it “child conscription!”

    38: NONAME

    Wow, it’s more complicated than I thought.

    39: NONAME

    As a 13-year-old myself, if I become a dungeon user now, I’ll be unstoppable! Growth spurt and all! You old folks better step aside!

    40: NONAME

    Sure, sure, good for you.

    41: NONAME

    Well, even at 13, you’ll need money for the license and parental consent if under 18. So go convince your parents.

    42: NONAME

    Plus, just having skills or boosted stats doesn’t mean you can beat veterans.

    43: NONAME

    >42 Oh, are you talking about that aikido girl video?

    44: NONAME

    What’s that?

    45: NONAME

    A video of two dungeon-using girls with [Martial Arts] skills getting effortlessly tossed around by an old man who’s likely just a regular person.

    46: NONAME

    Are they even real dungeon users, though?

    47: NONAME

    Yeah, you can tell from their movements compared to everyone else. But the old guy, even as a normal person, totally handles them with ease.

    48: NONAME

    Veterans are insane...

    49: NONAME

    Apparently, there’s a way to self-learn skills. If veterans became dungeon users, they might max out [Aikido] immediately.

    50: NONAME

    Still, skills alone don’t bridge the experience gap.

    51: NONAME

    Exactly. Even with a [Swordsmanship] skill, if your body and mind aren’t in sync, it’s pointless.

    52: NONAME

    I heard you also need to channel magic to activate skills. Some people have skills but can’t even use them.

    53: NONAME

    Sounds fake. What’s your source?

    54: NONAME

    >53 You’re so reactive. Go read the Ministry’s website and don’t come back.

    55: NONAME

    I’m watching that aikido video now. It’s fascinating...

    56: NONAME

    Yeah, and the girls are super cute, right?

    57: NONAME

    Sure, but that’s not the point of the video!

    58: NONAME

    Wait, it’s not a video to admire cute aikido girls?

    59: NONAME

    Your eyes are blind. Or rather, your soul is clouded!
