Arch Guild Master Room.
While the Guild Wars special participants are in full swing.
Gu Hwang-seok was preparing to head to the underground system room where testing was taking place.
“I wonder what kind of friends will come this year.”
Of course, before we even get to the underground systems room.
There was also a participant who seemed particularly eye-catching.
“What kind of impression will I leave today?”
Among the numerous Academy participants.
By far, his interest was ‘Cha Min-jun’.
I have already seen his extraordinary magic coming out of the Canberra incident.
I felt confident.
“I’ve never experienced that kind of magic in my life.”
Gu Hwang-seok faced and met hundreds and thousands of hunters.
It was actually my first time feeling the magical power of a dreamlike feeling like Minjun.
At the age of 20, Minjun felt as if he had reached something that even Koo Hwang-seok could not reach.
Plus, unlike regular horsepower.
Minjun’s magical power seemed to have endless potential.
Of course, these are just his feelings.
I couldn’t even predict what kind of results those strange magical powers would actually produce.
That’s why, using today as an opportunity, Gu Hwang-seok wanted to see Min-jun one more time.
“I’m already looking forward to it.”
As soon as he put on his autumn-like trench coat over his shoulders, Gu Hwang-seok walked straight toward the underground system.

Basement system room in the Arc Guild office building.
The contestants facing the second hurdle were busy suffering from the pain of being eliminated over and over again.
Chop- Chop- Chop-
“Ugh! “This is too much.”
“It’s not at a level that can be compared in the first place.”
“It seems like you really have no intention of looking at me at all.”
The attitude of all guild members was fierce and brutal.
Even if the opponent is an inexperienced participant.
It seemed as if he was trying to make us realize the cruelty of reality.
Even though less than five minutes had passed since the second gate began.
Out of thirty participants.
There were already nearly 20 people who were eliminated one after another.
“Well, wasn’t this something you didn’t intend to pick in the first place?”
The eliminated candidates, who felt the bitter taste of repeated eliminations, were devastated and could only sigh.
On the contrary, the guild members who were dealing with such participants felt that their training was worse than their usual training.
“It’s so boring.”
“Phew, isn’t it funny when you say that?”
“How many minutes did you cut? Are you splitting it?”
“me? 3 minute cut. you?”
“Tsk, I cut to 4 minutes.”
“Give it to me.”
“Oh, disintegration.”
Even the ‘Arc Guild’ guild members used the participants as an excuse.
A bet was even made.
It was often seen that the focus was purely on fun, focusing on who could reach a conclusion faster in a short period of time.
But, unlike them.
In particular, there was one place that attracted attention.
The confrontation between Cha Min-jun and Kim In-gun was particularly similar.
Without giving up a single inch, the sum of each other was getting longer and longer, and it was difficult to easily determine superiority or inferiority.
“What are we looking at now?”
“Is he really a trainee?”
“How can you hold out against Ingeon like that?”
“Hold on? “That’s not it.”
“I feel like I’m gaining the upper hand.”
The initial situation was as expected among guild members.
It was probably natural for everyone to predict Kim In-gun’s superiority.
Even in the Arch Guild, he was in the spotlight as an up-and-coming hunter, so it would be hard to say that he had entered his first year as a guild member.
This was because Kim In-gun’s skill level was sky-high without anyone realizing it.
That’s him.
At some point, when he suddenly began to show signs of being on par with Min-jun, the reactions of the guild members revealed a clear difference from before.
Even some of the guild members seemed to have already figured out Cha Min-jun’s pattern of Kim In-gun.
I even started to feel like I was coping.
“Hands, I can’t see my hands.”
“How can one reach such a level?”

“Kiting doesn’t really make sense?”
“Aren’t there a few skiers like that in our guild?”
“It’s safe to say it doesn’t exist at all.”
The ‘Arc Guild’ guild members couldn’t help but be fascinated by Minjun’s talent.
There were some guild members who mainly used bows, but there was no one who was as bold as Minjun, but whose delivery was extremely short.
After seeing Minjun’s extreme delivery, everyone began to make the same comment.
“That… .”
“It can be seen as an area beyond talent.”
***
Meanwhile, Min-jun was thinking this way about the law of destruction against Kim In-geon.
‘Arc Guild’s hunters mostly focus on the initial momentum in developing developments!’
The guild members of the Arch Guild are average.
Most patterns focus on putting pressure on the opponent under the pretext of taking the lead in the early stages.
Arch Guild’s unique advantage and color is that it moves the tempo extremely quickly and uses the initial momentum to find and create gaps.
Because it was like that.
Kim In-gun, who is still in his first year at the Arch Guild, has a personality.
I thought that if I could just maintain the initial momentum and hold on, Minjun wouldn’t be so easy on me.
Of course, Kim In-gun’s initial momentum was quite fierce and sharp.
By any chance, if he had faced Kim In-geon in a similar manner, it would not have been surprising if he had ended up with the same results as the current eliminated candidates.
However, Minjun did not respond with a counterattack.
Avoid the situation as much as possible, even if you take damage in the beginning.
Except for the solar plexus area, I only sustained minor damage.
Eventually, after about 30 minutes of bloodshed with Kim In-gun.
I felt like Minjun’s pace was gradually coming back to life.
Gradually, the number of times he lifted the bow began to increase, and his frequent deliveries also began to take shape.
Paaaa- Paaaa-
Gradually, the frequency of arrows flying towards Kim In-gun also began to increase.
Kim In-geon responded to Min-jun’s arrows with ease at first.
But he also felt like he was slowly losing his pace.
A sense of urgency began to appear little by little.
Even so.
Minjun never tried to close the distance.
When he rushes at me recklessly.
As if he had never done that before, he took a step back.
Whenever there was a brief lull, I fired arrows in a rapid-fire manner.
‘Okay, it’s getting done at my own pace.’
Of course, it’s as if it never happened.
The pace could have shifted towards Kim In-geon again.
As it was a face that had been created after a long time, Minjun decided to settle the matter.
‘Mobilize all your magical power.’
As many people see it.
Minjun thought it would be better to show it clearly.
Of course, Kim In-geon’s magical power was at a high level, but… .
Minjun also didn’t want to give in.
Kwaaaaaaang-
Rather, is it because it emits more magical power than during practice?
The entire interior of the underground system room was shaking.
Has there ever been an attempt to distribute magical power like this?
A majestic, dense magical power began to cover all around Minjun.
“Um, is that really magical power?”
“How on earth do they have magical power of that magnitude?!”
“I’m so scared.”
“Is that the level of a trainee?”
“What am I looking at?”
Needless to say, most people looked at Minjun in shock.
The level of magical power was such that it was difficult to regard him as just a Zenix trainee.
Why have you been hiding such a large amount of magical power for so long?
It felt amazing.
Above all, Kim In-gun also felt the same way.
Unlike the opponents I’ve faced so far.
Minjun’s magical power was truly beyond imagination.
This was a level of magical energy that had never been felt even among colleagues.
In response, he put his two-handed ax on the floor with a look of keen sympathy for Kim In-geon.
“I will stop here. “I declare abstention.”
***
There was a moment of silence in the underground system room due to Kim In-gun’s sudden action.
Abstaining… .
Of course, I didn’t completely understand the decision to abstain due to Minjun’s overwhelming performance(?).
What’s even more surprising is that.
Except for Minjun, not a single person passed the second gate.
In the first place, passing the second gate was virtually impossible.
Director Lim, who was confident that not a single person would pass, could not believe this situation.
‘Believe it, I can’t believe it. ‘I can’t believe it was at that level.’
Director Lim even felt a sense of disconnect.
Kim In-geon, who was being reborn as the best prospect in the Arch Guild in name and reality, put down the ax in the middle of the battle against an opponent who was barely a Xenics trainee?
Even though it became an issue in the mass media, there was virtually no shortage.
I thought that somehow relieving this situation would lessen the reputation of the Arch Guild.
“haha! Something completely unexpected happened. Guild member Kim In-geon’s declaration of abstention cannot be accepted. There was no declaration of abstention at the second gate. Considering that both of them will be lacking a lot of stamina, we plan to take a special break and then start the second match right away… “Wow!”
Director Lim is trying to somehow alleviate this situation.
Koo Hwang-seok suddenly appeared next to Director Lim and quickly grabbed his microphone.
“The heated battle between you two! I looked at it with great emotion. I felt like it was truly an honor to be able to see such a scene even at this age. I would like to take this opportunity to speak directly to you. As the master of the Arc Guild, I will appoint Cha Min-jun as a special participant in the Guild Wars!”
“W-Master?!”
“Why don’t you look at me separately.”
“… … .”
There was a clear difference between the way Koo Hwang-seok looked at Min-jun and the way he looked at Director Lim.
To the point where I wonder if Director Lim’s actions and remarks just moments ago made Koo Hwang-seok very uncomfortable.
His expression became darker than ever.
Director Lim immediately felt uneasy upon seeing Koo Hwang-seok’s expression.
On the other hand, in the middle of the underground system, the sound of everyone clapping their hands, led by Minjun, became louder and louder.
Clap- Clap- Clap-
The second gateway that no one thought could pass.
It was the moment when Minjun boldly broke that mold and was recognized as a trainee and as a special participant in the guild war for the first time.
