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!
