Enlistment and Baptism

Enlistment and Baptism (入隊と洗礼, Nyūtai to senrei) is the 8th episode of Kyōkyoku Shinka Shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu Yorimo Kuso-Ge Dattara anime series.

Synopsis
Hiroshi decides to continue playing KQ despite the low % rate of success. However, this quest-line is especially grueling as he's supposed to work with two seasoned mercs who belittle and berate him for his paltry strength and sword skill.

Plot
Considering his options on whether or not he should quit the game, Hiroshi watches the walkthrough video by Kamui on how to progress the event line he had chosen. Kamui immediately chastises the viewer on the choice, but details that if you've achieved the best best friend killer, the chances of success are greater. The next video in this walkthrough is blocked by a password and Hiroshi inputs it. Once again, Kamui chastises the player, but reveals that the odds have increased by 0.4% and details how to meet the standards of those odds. However, as words of warning, Kamui states that if you do follow through with his advice, it may "break the player". On the other hand, it's said that if you're able to complete the SS-Ranked Goblin quest, you'll uncover the mysterious truth behind Ted. After saying some final words of advice from Kamui, the video ends and Hiroshi reflects on how to progress with his predicament. Soon after this, Hiroshi heads to his sister Kaede's room and gives her his 2nd custard pudding and tells her that he's going to continue playing the game until he's reached a good stopping point. The reason behind his motivation is because he doesn't want to give up half way on something like when he failed the track race that ruined his life. Kaede not caring about her brother's resolve, simply tells him off and slams her door shut.

With that out of the way, Hiroshi enters the game and meets with Tesla and is guided by him to Queen Govern's Mansion. Just then, Reona who tells Hiro that she's watched the video for the quest line he's chosen and scolds him for not watching it beforehand. Eventually, the group reaches the Govern's Mansion and after a brief introduction, Queen Govern embraces and wishes Hiro good luck on his goblin slaying quest. Later at the training grounds, Tesla introduces Hiro to the soldiers as a mercenary as well as two other hired mercs, Granada and Palù. Continuing his explanation of the situation, Tesla states that the Goblins goal is to attack and destroy, Queen Govern's Mansion. It's believed that the Goblins figure if that's destroyed then the whole city will fall. Once his explanation is over, Tesla leaves the scene and then Hiro, Palù, and Granada are taken care of by a guard by the name of Bob to their rooms.

At Hiro's room, he talks with Reona and once he's fitted with his armor Bob arrives in his room. He informs Hiro that he'll be lead back to the training grounds to start his sword and martial arts exercises. Although, Bob notes that Hiro isn't that muscular and asks if he was a covert solider in the past. Disregarding that, Bob leads the mercs to the training ground where they're introduced to the instructor Amos. After Amos' introduction, a solider named Cathy approaches Hiro and tells him she was the solider who lead The little girl home. Before the two could shake each other's hand, Amos stops them and immediately spars with Hiro. The spar between the two begins and Hiro is easily overpowered by Amos, however, Granada easily overpowers Amos causing him to retire for the day. Hiro then tries to approach Bob and Cathy to eat some lunch with him, but they brush him off. At the mess hall, Hiro eats his lunch alone noting that he's been ostracized by his peers.

On day 2 of Hiro's merc training, he arrives on the training ground and Amos belittles Hiro's talent and has him do practice swings. As he does this, Granada mentions that Hiro killed his best friend, and tries to start a fight with him. However, Cathy intervenes asking Hiro to practice with her. From there, Hiro learns some handy tips and tricks on how to handle a sword. The following day, a mock match is held and Hiro is pitted against Granada and easily loses against his opponent. This makes Hiro realize that his life in the real world isn't any different than his life in the game world.
