105. In the palm of your hand
The outside stands and the community’s reaction were literally scorched earth.
Because it was truly unprecedented for a team to defeat an opponent 7 to 2 while both sides were intact.
In the Hunters League, where it’s considered difficult to win even with a difference of only two people, the opponent suffered damage and lost when there was a difference of 5 people?
It was so incredible that I couldn’t believe it until I saw it for myself.
[Lee Chang-hyun] My dad said that back in the day, he went 7-2 in the Hunters League. GIF]
N yeah don’t be kidding me lol I absolutely won’t believe it
n fact) It is true.
Why is it so funny when you write “fact” and then write “fact” next to it?
ㄴ But even if I said I was that son, I don’t think you’d believe it
N Seriously ㅋㅋ I saw it with my own eyes so I believe it. Who would believe that?
[Although it was from part 2, it is a monumental scene. real]
n Because it turns out that something more important than the number of abilities or the number of combat personnel is revealed.
N What is that?
n skill
N what the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The community was on fire with just this one highlight scene.
But it wasn’t something completely new to Kim Jun-seo, who had seen PER’s game once in Part 3.
The difference in number of people wasn’t that great, but even in the transparent tactics of Kim Do-jun that I uploaded to NutTube last time, we fought while being inferior in terms of numbers and tactics.
‘This video angle is also made nicely… … .’
I thought, “Should I upload this too?” The play is fantastic and there are still great scenes being produced, but since it’s only part 2, not many people are watching it.
Maybe this video will become famous like the last one… …
It may be because of the desire to share with others the surprising and enjoyable experiences one has seen.
On the one hand, I also thought this.
‘But how on earth is that kind of play possible?’
Even though I’ve watched quite a few games so far, I’ve never seen such an unconventional game.
Each hunter has at least one superpower. There are as many as several, so on average, a team has at least 14 superpowers and skills.
On the other hand, the special forces of PER, Lee Chang-hyun and Ryu Jae-jun, showed only three or four abilities at most.
The skill gap is more than doubled, but I was really surprised to see how they could bridge the gap.
So I looked into the possible reasons one by one… …
‘First of all, the fact that you struck first. That must be big, right?’
‘And the fact that it was a wide area. The fact that Lee Chang-hyun also came in and attacked at that moment.’
‘Finally, I got out after exploding the mana bomber attached to the hilt of my sword at the perfect timing for my counterattack.’
It felt like I was pouring all my strength into it and then retreating, without even giving the opponent a chance to attack.
The more I analyzed and examined each one, the more surprised I became.
‘This time, let’s not just upload a highlight video, but also an analysis video.’
Unlike Part 1, the matches in Part 2 weren’t analyzed much, so I thought they were pretty good.

Hunter’s League.
Although its origins are from the battles between hunters over relics in the tower, it has now become a sport, so there are strict rules.
Of course, there are no rules that are that strict and complicated, but the rules that usually cause problems in regular matches are usually things like this.
For example, there is a limit to the match time because if it becomes too long, the audience will get bored.
If the match time becomes too long, the map will gradually become narrower, or the side with more players will be judged as the winner.
There were other rules like that, etc.
‘And the important thing now is… …game time.’
If the map gradually narrows, you will have no choice but to enter the PER camp located completely under the cliff in the center of the canyon.
If the side with the larger number of players is decided as the winner, then PER will obviously win.
So, even if the status quo was maintained until the end of the game, PER had no choice but to win.
That’s why QED, with two people dead and injured, can’t help but feel anxious.
“Your strategy. I’m on the same team now, but it’s really bad. You’re going to surprise attack first and then stay in and defend the space.”
While heading towards the PER defense line that Kim Yu-hyeon had prepared, Ryu Jae-jun said.
“You say it’s bad? Thanks for the compliment.”
All they need to show the audience is one bold 7 vs 2 battle.
Other than that, there was no need to create variables.
It’s only the second part now so I have some time, but as I go up, the gap between me and my opponents gets smaller and smaller.
That’s why our team members also had to gradually become accustomed to the value of a perfect victory.
‘When you go to the international league, there are times when the game can be turned around with just a split second of an opening.’
“By the way, this strategy. Doesn’t it have quite a few holes?”
“hole?”
What part are you talking about? Was there a gap that you didn’t think of?
I don’t know about other guys, but Ryu Jae-jun seemed to have a pretty good understanding of the fights between hunters, so it was good to hear about him.
“Relics, you know. Relics. There’s still a lot of time left in the game, but if we search the map for relics while we’re at it, won’t the game turn around?”
That certainly makes sense.
however……
“You think I didn’t think of that either?”
How much experience do I have in the Hunter’s League? This situation, that situation, this tactic, that tactic.
Honestly, I think he’s better than any Hunter’s League player in the world right now, in terms of experience.
“You’ll find out when you get there?”

Soon after, the PER defense line created by Kim Yu-Hyeon arrived at the center of the map.
“I’m here?”
“I thought I was going to die waiting because it was so boring.”
I told him not to curl up on the floor, but he’s lying down and scratching his belly.
My murderous intent surged for a moment, but there was something I had to check first.
“Han-gyeol. It’s all broken?”
“Yeah. Maybe.”
“… … .”
With just these words, Ryu Jae-jun probably didn’t notice.
“What did you break?”
“If I just focus on flying now, the number of swords I can control is 7… … and the swords with mana bombers are 5. Where could the remaining 2 be used?”
“no way…….”
Ryu Jae-jun frowned.
It seemed that he had noticed that he had broken ‘something’ by swinging his sword.
“Of course it’s a relic.”
“That crazy guy.”
Well, I thought that Ryu Jae-jun, who learned from Lee Geun-taek, a first-generation hunter who was a ‘real hunter’, might not understand.
In those days when people would compete to enter the tower, the reason for fighting was to obtain relics, but to defeat an opponent by destroying them.
Then even if we win, it won’t be meaningful.
But this is sports. As long as you don’t break the rules, it doesn’t matter what strategy you use.
“Well, then. How about we play Omok on the floor with Kim Do-jun and wait for our opponent?”
It’ll take a while to get here, as you’ll be searching around aimlessly, realizing that all the relics have been destroyed, and being pushed to the end of the game.

Meanwhile, Team QED.
“Ugh… … .”
“Sihyeon, are you okay?”
I was thinking of joining without much thought and having a large-scale fight.
It was difficult to come to my senses from the sudden attack by those guys.
“Did two of them leave… … .”
“It’s okay. You know our skills. Even if there are five of us, we can definitely win if we focus.”
He said, dusting himself off and standing up.
It certainly was. QED was a team that was purely focused on combat, rather than special tactics or abilities.
There were tough times and pitfalls throughout the previous season, but in the end, you overcame them all with your excellent fighting skills.
“So, what are you going to do from now on?”
“First of all, since we know their methods, let’s be careful this time. If we fall for the same methods again and get hit first, there’s a very high chance that we’ll really lose.
And how about that? Do you get a sense of where the guys are?”
Location detection. It was a feat possible if delicate mana control was possible. It was possible because everyone’s body was filled with mana.
Of course, it is not as sensitive or accurate as those who have awakened it with supernatural powers.
“Um… … I’m not sure, but I feel like it’s pretty far north of us. I don’t know if it’s close or far, and if there’s a lot or a little… … .”
“I don’t know, but?”
“If they were scattered, I would usually feel them a little bit from different directions, but since they aren’t, I wonder if they are gathered together… … .”
Did the guys who attacked us earlier rejoin the team?
“The strange thing is that its presence doesn’t seem to grow or shrink. It doesn’t seem to change direction either… … It seems to be staying in the same place?”
‘… … !’
Only then did I begin to guess what the guys were up to.
PER. This is the team of guys that Lee Geun-taek acknowledged. There was a lot of talk, but in the end, it’s the team of guys that came up from the 3rd division.
‘Come to think of it, there seemed to be a lot of those defensive strategies in Part 3.’
It’s not like we’re now attacking our opponents to reduce their numbers and then defending.
It was a natural strategy since defense is inherently more advantageous than offense.
There were many advantages, such as setting up traps or taking up positions in advantageous terrain in advance. In any case, it was better to hold onto one position and wait for the enemy to attack.
But that method no longer worked from Part 2 onwards.
This was because teams that were stuck in one place were inevitably at a disadvantage due to the presence of the ‘relic’ on the map.
“Heh… … Heh heh heh heh. Puhahahahaha.”
You stupid guys.
Maybe because they reduced the number of players, they thought we would get nervous and go on the attack before the game time ran out.
But we didn’t necessarily have to do that.
Since the guys didn’t move, I could easily move around the map, find ‘relics’, and gain the upper hand in battle, so I could win easily.
They should have fired a full-scale attack when they unexpectedly bombed us instead.
If that had been the case, it would have been so confusing that we might have had a better chance of winning.
‘Since combat is our specialty anyway, we would have won if we had fought till the end… ‘
Well, I guess that’s fine.
They’ll look back on the game later and realize that it was a mistake and hit their knees.
Honestly, as a senior in the second division, I feel like I am providing a good education.
“Don’t worry about the guys who are just standing there, guys. We’ll go around the map and look for relics first.”
“Is that so? Heh heh. Let’s do that.”
Only then did my teammates realize what I was thinking and they started laughing loudly.
“They’re stupid. They’re just newbies from the 3rd division, so there’s nothing they can do.”
“that’s right.”
“Anyway, it was a bit dangerous from the first game. It’s disappointing that it suddenly became easy.”
“I thought they won, but how can they be so angry? What can I do? I can’t even sleep on days like that.”
“That’s true. Every day you lose, your face turns red and you look like you’ve been drinking.”
“What?”
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh.”
It was while continuing that friendly atmosphere that we discovered traces of what might be relics.
“… … What is this? Why is it like this?”
The condition of the first artifact I discovered was strange. No, strictly speaking, it wasn’t a artifact.
“It’s all broken?”
It was a shattered piece of relic.
