“Of course it’s fun when it comes out like that!”
Director Lim was favorable to Minjun’s reaction.
It was the painting he wanted, and on the other hand, he was curious about Minjun’s actual skills.
I was curious about what kind of picture the second gate would show.
“Okay then, let’s start the second gate! “We ask that participants who have passed the first gate move to one side of the wall.”
Following Director Lim’s guidance, the surviving(?) participants lined up in a row.
“Yes, are you really going to fight to the death? “There is definitely some advantage!”
“That’s right, can this be a game with trainees like us?! “There must be some sort of handicap in place!”
“I’ll just try as hard as I can.”
Participants thought that there would be some degree of handicap.
But contrary to what they think.
There was no handicap.
Quite literally.
You must compete against active hunters and achieve victory!
It was a special opportunity to participate in the Guild Wars.
Soon, ‘Arc Guild’ guild members lined up across from the participants.
It was majestic and grand.
The guild member in front of Minjun was also like that.
Soon after, Director Lim’s brief explanation of the confrontation structure was added.
“For the match, the guild members standing here call out their names one by one. “Any participant whose name is called can immediately compete against that guild member.”
At best, guild members have to choose the participants they want to fight directly.
The participants were nervous as to whether they would face off against a star guild member representing the Arch Guild.
“Please, please, let’s just avoid Choi Tae-wook.”
“no. How high is Kim In-geon’s stock price these days? .”
“What about Heo Sang-hyun…?” . “There’s really no way to bat.”
The famous Arch Guild,
There was literally only one guild member and one strong opponent.
Meanwhile, each time the Arc Guild members were handed a microphone, they called out each participant’s name one by one.
“I will call participant number 23, Hwang Taek-ui.”
“I will call participant number 54 Shin Young-seok.”
“I will call participant number 3, Jaehwi Kim.”
Participants whose names were called immediately stood in front of the guild member who called them.
All in all, the physical strength of the guild members overwhelmed the participants.
Skill is skill.
Maybe it’s because the original weight class is so different.
This was the second hurdle that made me feel even more intimidated.
And Minjun was also called.
“I will call participant number 21, Cha Min-jun.”
The guild member who called Min-jun was none other than Kim In-geon.
He has now entered his first year in the ‘Arc Guild’.
With a youthful face and slim build, he had the image of a handsome guy you might see in college.
‘It’s Kim In-geon… .’
A person whose stock price is rising within the Arch Guild these days.
Wielding tremendous power using the ax he held in both hands, he stood tall as a promising figure within the Arch Guild.
Meanwhile, Min-jun quickly approached Kim In-geon, who called his name.
In a way, we were at eye level.
Even though I was standing face to face with him.
It gave the impression that Kim In-geon would never be discouraged.
***
The surrounding gaze was focused on one place.
Most people are most curious about the confrontation structure between Cha Min-jun and Kim In-gun.
Apparently, they were two people who were well-received in their respective organizations(?).
Interest could not help but grow further.
Also, Kim In-gun lets us know that he is also a graduate of Xenix Academy.
Even the title for Minjun was unique.
“It’s an honor. “I got to compete with a junior who is attracting the most attention these days at Xenics.”
Kim In-geon spoke first.
With a somewhat solemn expression, his eyes were focused solely on Minjun.
Min-jun also had one question about Kim In-geon.
“Is there a reason why you singled me out?”
“Because I won,”
“… ?”
At first, Minjun wondered what that meant and asked the question again.
“What does that mean? “You won?”
“Would you understand if I said that there were more than one or two people who wanted to compete with you?”
Sigh-
It was as if Kim In-geon had defeated numerous competitors.

He continued to look triumphant.
This means:
Among the numerous guild members who wanted to compete with Cha Min-jun, it could be interpreted that Kim In-geon took the opportunity to choose that option himself.
If so, among the guild members currently lined up on both sides of Kim In-geon.
Is he the most versatile and dominant hunter here?
Min-jun thought that he would have to first touch it with his body to be able to judge it.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate that there isn’t any information.’
Except that he has some star quality in the Arch Guild.
It seemed like Min-jun would only be able to feel it if he competed with him in person.
At the same time as Kim In-gun’s last name was called.
The second gate began immediately.
“Then, please take care of me. “Junior.”
“I am… Huh?!”
Paaaaat-
Even before I finished speaking.
Kim In-geon immediately raised his right foot and tried to kick Min-jun’s abdomen.
I could have been taken aback by the momentary motion.
Minjun immediately attempted a back tumble.
Fortunately, I dodged at the right time.
There was no major damage.
‘It’s a good thing I normally focused my magic on my lower body. ‘I almost got hit like that.’
When this kind of one-on-one confrontation unfolds.
The moment of being caught off guard was well expressed in [Dad’s Palace] in every situation.
Normally, storing magical power in the lower body is useful for increasing evasion ability.
Meanwhile, Kim In-geon seems to be disappointed with Min-jun’s agility.
I quenched my appetite.
Write-
“Heh, it’s pretty good as expected.”
“You’re quite naughty, senior. I’m glad I’m younger. “I think if I was your age, I probably wouldn’t have been hit.”
“what?”
“Your speech has suddenly become short, senior.”
I wondered if the expression ‘jeokbanhajang’ would be used in times like this.
Who was the one who acted cowardly first?
Kim In-geon seemed to be in a bad mood, his expression hardening.
“Well, it was fate that we met like this. “As a senior, shall we give you some advice?!”
“That’s what I expect.”
Chop- Chop-
With an ax held in both hands.
Kim In-geon boldly put pressure on Min-jun.
Absolutely. Among the prominent guild members, it was clear why he wanted to compete against Min-jun so much.
‘Was this the method in the first place?’
The second gate began, and Kim In-geon continued to push Min-jun.
I think it’s because they don’t want to give me distance.
Minjun hasn’t had a chance to hold the bowstring yet.
It felt like Minjun’s bow was suddenly becoming a shield from the random ax attacks.
“My lovely junior, my bow will break if I do that.”
“I don’t think it’s any of your business, senior?”
“Then I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to attend the guild war.”
Even though Kim In-geon was sarcastic.
There seemed to be no intention of stopping this axing, which was now close to hacking.
It was such an overwhelming performance.
Including Director Lim looking at the scene.
Even the contestants who had already experienced the hardship of elimination had the same thought.
“No matter how much I call him Cha Min-jun. “Is this an atmosphere of being bullied?”
“Look at Kim In-geon’s eyes. “It’s no different from a hunting dog.”
“What do you mean to a hunting dog, senior? A hunting dog.”
However, from Director Lim’s perspective, the expression ‘hunting dog’ was never wrong.
The person who personally accepted Kim In-geon as a member of the ‘Arc Guild’ was Director Lim.
Since it was me, I was able to roughly read his eyes.
“Exactly, that’s the look in your eyes when you took the entrance test. The eyes look full of venom. Hopefully… .”
Kim In-gun’s eyes looked like a year ago.
It looked quite similar to when I took the guild entrance test here.
Eyes that seem to be filled with venom.
At that time, Director Lim was very impressive to Kim In-gun.
It reminded me of what he looked like when I first saw him.
Even at that time.
During the guild entrance test, it was enough to tear the monsters that appeared in each round to pieces.
Kim In-gun’s ax attack was truly unconventional.
Because of these old thoughts, Director Lim suddenly had this thought.
“Hopefully… . A situation will come where no one can stop it.”
***
‘Shall we focus now?’
Min-jun has always focused on understanding Kim In-gun’s tendencies.
As if he thought this was enough, Minjun immediately increased his speed.
Swoosh- Swoosh-
“I guess the warm-up is finally over?”
Kim In-gun also seemed to become interested in Min-jun’s speed, which was clearly different from before.
However, it is difficult to simply think that way.
Minjun’s speed exceeded expectations.
Swoosh- Swoosh-
Kim In-gun’s axing, which was close to hacking, to the point where Min-jun actually anticipated one more move.
I started avoiding it quickly.
Additionally, the gap between the two, which seemed like it would never get further apart, began to gradually widen.
“Here we go, senior!”
“Whoosh!”
In a way.
It felt like Kim In-gun couldn’t keep up with Min-jun’s pace.
At best, there is now a gap that allows you to pull a bowstring that you have never even pulled before.
Paaaa- Paaaa-
“Where!”
However, Kim In-geon was not taken lightly by Min-jun’s counterattack.
He effortlessly dodged arrows and even easily split dozens of arrows flying in front of him with a two-handed axe.
Slick- Slick-
Minjun also thought that he would not be a soft opponent.
Unlike the hunters I have competed with so far.
Kim In-geon had a fairly fast brain and there were patterns that made it impossible to detect which attack was coming.
Even if you’ve just finished warming up.
I thought that Minjun would never be through a gateway that would end in a short period of time.
So then, is there no law of destruction?
That wasn’t necessarily the case.
Like I said before.
Considering that Kim In-geon has only been in the Arch Guild for a year, if he creates a confrontational structure in a way he has never experienced before… .
It seemed clear that Kim In-geon’s flaws would also be clearly revealed.
‘Let’s go somewhere and see it.’
