010. I’ll beat you all up

Joara said, “It’s a survival game.” But since it wasn’t difficult to hide alone in this vast, deep valley, there were a few other rules.

First, the area available for survival is shrinking.

Second, monsters that appear continuously.

These two things hindered survival.

The presence of competitors who are trying to take the applicant’s life for extra points, and the fact that the survival area is constantly shrinking. And yet, you have to worry about monsters. It could be called a real brawl.

In this situation, Yoon Han-gyeol steadfastly maintained his first place.

‘It’s a good condition to be active just as it was drawn.’

The fact that it uses a short sword that doesn’t restrict movement in the forest, and the fact that it’s not too open, which is good for subduing opponents with swift and wind-based swordsmanship. All of these factors worked positively.

In fact, the results were also good.

It seemed like about 60 people had already been eliminated.

‘The survival game is almost over.’

[Survival Game Leaderboard.]

1st place Yoon Han-gyeol: 17 kills

2nd place Yoo Hye-ju: 10 kills

3rd place Han Ji-soo: 8 kills

3rd place Jin Han: 8 kills

5th place Kim Jin-seung: 7 kills

‘It’s going smoothly.’

It was as expected. It matched the power analysis that the Seoul City Academy Team 1 had done. In addition, it seemed like there was probably no one who could defeat me head-on with force.

Thinking like that made me feel better.

[Gale Sword]. It was the first nickname I had, and I felt a bit burdened, but I felt like I lived up to the name.

… … That’s what I was thinking.

bang!

Tatang!

It was a sudden intrusion with an overwhelming presence.

First of all, the biggest problem was that it was an unexpected attack.

‘……gun?’

***

I realized later that there were quite a few things I hadn’t thought about when I first got the ether.

Since the rules were deathmatch, which was a survival game, I should have thought in advance that if I was too late, my chances of making it into the rankings would gradually decrease.

‘Is it too late already… … .’

Out of 100 people, 20 people advance. In other words, it ends when 80 people die, but when I came out of the hidden dungeon and checked, 60 people had already been eliminated.

At this point, I had to catch them all to get first place, but since it was impossible to catch all the people who were scattered, I was grateful for even fifth place.

There will be no problem passing, but it is difficult to pass with an impactful ranking.

‘I guess I have to come up with some kind of plan… … .’

Even if there was ether now, it was meaningless unless you could hit one person at a time, hitting a vital point at once.

No matter how much of a brawl there was in the center, the one who landed the last blow would get the kill.

On the one hand, I also thought that since I couldn’t solve it with my current ability anyway, I should just rush in and try to get as many kills as possible. It would be difficult to get into the top 5 with just that, but I had to do something at least.

‘Han Ji-soo… … ?’

Han Ji-soo’s hiding place, where her piercing eyes are always on and visible. Han Ji-soo hides herself in the grass by sticking all kinds of dirt and trees together, and then uses her gravity field to ambush her opponent.

Oh my… … .

Killing is easy, but… … I had no intention of killing.

The carelessness that comes from hiding. I took advantage of that carelessness to approach Han Ji-soo from behind. The rest is simple.

Tapping my shoulder,

“Han Ji-soo, who couldn’t return. How are you?”

Then, Han Ji-soo was so surprised that she fell on her butt.

“you you…….!”

“I have some circumstances and I would like you to help me out, Han Ji-soo… … .”

“Are you crazy?”

I thought it would have changed a little since I took care of it last time,

As expected, it seemed that people don’t change easily all at once.

I guess hitting him last time wasn’t enough.

Rather, Han Ji-soo prepared for another gravity attack, scattering the dirt around her as if it was an opportunity.

“I met this.”

“What? You little shit?”

But the reason gravity attacks can be so threatening is because there is almost no warning, but that didn’t apply to me. The skills and the piercing eyes were all reading the trajectory.

By the way, it is a chew.

“I came here because I needed you, Han Ji-soo. Don’t you think my words were harsh?”

Han Ji-soo clicked her tongue in disbelief at those words.

Is that so? Was that a bit of an absurd statement?

But that’s that, what Han Ji-soo needed was what he needed.

‘If I spread that gravitational ability weakly and widely, it wouldn’t be a dream to rush in and take them all out in one go.’

Because that seemed like the best way to quickly get kills in one go.

Of course, Han Ji-soo didn’t give up so easily.

No, rather, it became even more violent.

Bang! Bang!

When the gravity attack didn’t work well, Han Ji-soo started to attack by randomly summoning gravity plates.

But the answer to solve it was simple.

‘Because violence solves everything.’

After dodging the gravity plate by accelerating it momentarily, he approached Han Ji-soo. After that, he followed the same pattern as before.

“head!”

“omg”

Han Ji-soo flinched momentarily just hearing those words. This was a virtual reality, so it wouldn’t hurt as much as if it were actually hit.

After all, my body had no choice but to recall the memories of that day.

But when he said it was his head and didn’t hit him, Han Ji-soo looked at him through his clenched arms.

I instinctively covered my head, but this time the answer was obvious. All I had to do was hit the uncovered stomach.

No, even without this, there was a big difference between me and him in terms of melee skills and combat ability.

Pfft thump thump thump.

“Ugh… … .”

It felt like my mouth was retching after being hit by a ship’s whirlwind.

Of course, this wasn’t the end.

“Head! Stomach! Head!”

“Wait a minute!… … Wait a minute… … ”

Fortunately, it seems like he decided to listen to me before the pointless beatings continued and I wasted no time.

“… …Why did you come here?”

“You, let’s do something together.”

“Work? What work? I have nothing to do with you.”

“Nothing to do?”

As he unconsciously raised his fist, Han Ji-soo’s expression stiffened.

Even though it wasn’t that painful because it was virtual reality, I wonder if I still suffered from trauma.

“Or else you can drop out right now.”

bang!

The gunshot passed through Han Ji-soo’s head.

“If you help me, I’ll spare your life.”

Han Ji-soo frowned strangely with a look of exhaustion, but eventually got the answer she wanted.

“What… What should I do?”

‘bingo.’

***

Hunter’s League is basically a team game, so naturally, not everyone is specialized in offense.

‘Even Han Ji-soo is like that.’

Of course, he is currently ranked 3rd with a whopping 8 kilos, but if you look a little differently, he also has the most useful support skill in this battlefield.

That’s what it meant to use gravity.

That’s why I went out of my way to persuade Han Ji-soo, with whom I had a falling out once.

In addition, since there were not many people left, it was also great that the system marked the locations of all survivors on the map.

It was obviously done with the intention of making the fight more intense to get more broadcast time, but it didn’t seem like it would be a bad fit.

‘There’s a brawl going on in the terrain around 7 o’clock in the center… … .’

The game was at its end. Since the map was already narrow, there wasn’t much room to go.

“Are you ready?”

“……huh.”

Just make the gravity a little stronger. It doesn’t have to be threatening.

However, it’s just a little nerve-wracking, and you can’t move at all like normal. Even just that much increases the chance of hitting a target by a lot.

“It starts.”

The air suddenly became heavy as Han Ji-soo began to speak.

‘Is this the gravitational ability that got me into the Seoul Metropolitan Academy…?’

It was definitely shallow given the wide range, but it was still good.

visor!

Chaechang!

Right in front of me, the two people who were fighting with long weapons noticed me and jumped back to try to disperse… … .

Bang! Ta-tang!

A shot from each of the twin pistols. Nothing more was needed. The heavier gravity made my whole body feel heavier, and the unfamiliar landing inevitably created a gap.

And I hit that gap right in the eye.

“2 kills at once is good~”

Of course, the other applicants who gathered did not sit still.

While everyone else was struggling in 1v1s, they had no choice but to keep an eye on Lee Chang-hyun, who had such a simple and powerful weapon.

Was it a coincidence that such thoughts coincided? An unknown number of applicants began to rush toward me at the same time.

That wasn’t all.

Shake –

A sword was quickly shot from behind.

‘Throw the sword…?’

But before that thought could even finish, the sword flew leisurely back to its master.

The whirlwind sword. It was Yoon Han-gyeol.

***

Lee Min-seok couldn’t help but think that Jo Ara’s [Survival Game] was strange yet fun.

“As a result, applicants who find the hidden piece will spend a lot of time trying to get it and will not be able to pass the upper level.”

“That’s right… … Ironically. It won’t be usable once the virtual reality ends anyway.”

There was an unexpected twist in this game. It was that applicant Lee Chang-hyun found the ether of [Land of Lost Souls], although he did not know how.

When I saw that, I thought the game would become boring due to the power of ether, but surprisingly, there were no scenes where the game was ruined because of it.

‘The top 5 players, including Yoon Han-gyeol, have a lot of high kill counts.’

That is, the survival game was almost over, and it was ending before Lee Chang-hyun could even get involved.

And now, the highlight is almost at its end. The remaining survivors have gathered at the center stage and a brawl is taking place.

If this happens, it will be impossible to make it into the top 5 even if you show off your shooting skills from the preliminaries. But that doesn’t mean you will fail to survive.

Just as I was thinking that way, something strange happened.

“Han Ji-soo… … was doing pretty well, but is she going to become the first victim of candidate Lee Chang-hyun?”

“… … I don’t think so. If I was going to shoot, I had the chance to shoot and eliminate it right away… … Are you talking about something?”

After Lee Chang-hyun hit them a few times, they seemed to be talking to each other.

And then seeing them move together… … .

‘Did you eat the team?’

Of course, if they knew each other to some extent from the outside, it would have been possible to eat the team… … But judging from the way they threatened to beat each other and put us in danger of being eliminated, it seemed like they weren’t acquainted.

“Are you trying to use Han Ji-soo as a supporter?”

“Um… … That too, but how did you find such suitable abilities when you didn’t even know each other outside?”

Lee Min-seok felt something was off. It was as if he had eyes that could see through things that he couldn’t know, and that could see through other people, maps, and methods.

‘If you have the ability to find out abilities, then maybe… … No. That’s too much of a guess.’

If such an ability had ever been discovered before, there would not have been a need for the expensive Hunter Test System.

On the other hand, Jin Su-hyeok doesn’t seem to be interested in such things.

“I can definitely expect synergy. They tie up each person with gravity and finish them off cleanly with the ether gun. It looks good just by looking at it. Especially since most of them don’t work together as a team right now.”

“Well… … Is that so? The opponent doesn’t seem like a good one to end it easily.”

The screen showed not only Lee Chang-hyun but also many other applicants, including Yoon Han-gyeol.
