114. Preparation
What is star quality?
One thing is clear: we have to fight well first.
No matter how great a player is, it is not easy for a player who plays from behind to support the team to become a star.
Another thing is probably ‘romance’.
The romance of sweeping away your opponents with your awesome physique in front of countless opposing teammates. It’s usually something like that.
The magic that thrills the public, something that other teams don’t.
A team like that can be said to have star quality.
In that sense, PER was the team with the most explosive star power in the Hunters League, excluding the first division.
A sniping attack that occurred at the same time as the building collapsed during the audition. A bomber tactic that involves attaching a mana bomber to a sword and flying it. The transparent strategy of the Snowball villain.
And most recently, the duo of Ryu Jae-jun and Lee Chang-hyun even went as far as to defeat the entire opposing team.
Because they had won so miraculously up until now, netizens watching the current situation were filled with regret.
[PER.gif, which is being destroyed like a dog as soon as the snowball villain disappears]
N What the heck. Why is the Snowball villain missing?
N Kim Yu-hyeon is a newcomer and is missing from this edition.
N Victory Totem Snowball Villain goes to the bench like a dogㅋㅋㅋ
N Honestly, if it wasn’t Yoon Han-gyeol but the villain with the snowball, I would’ve won. Okay? Okay, okay.
N seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And it wasn’t just the viewers who felt that kind of atmosphere.
[Caster]: Ah… … Bad luck PER! Before they could even join, Yoon Han-gyeol met Lee Jun-seo and was defeated and fell!
[Commentator]: Ah…! Yoon Han-gyeol’s absence is huge for PER! Yoon Han-gyeol is PER’s sword that can make up for PER’s lack of attack power!!
As Lee Jun-seo took down Yoon Han-gyeol, the commentators said that the situation had tilted much more sharply towards LTD.
Of course, the players who were playing the game also knew. A large-scale battle broke out between PER and LTD over Lee Jun-seo, who was still joining.
But like other teams, LTD did not fall apart easily.
[PER Dog-like destruction… Team 3. “Cut”]
N Where are you going to compare the Korean Hunters League “roots” to LTD? LOL
ㄴ ^Part 3^ I didn’t like how the fans kept complaining like they won Part 2.
No, the game isn’t over yet~
n ^3rd part^
Although PER has been positively exceeding expectations so far, this time it did not happen easily.
Rather, LTD successfully blocked PER’s offensive, and the situation was reversed when Lee Jun-seo joined.
Eventually, this story came out in the broadcasting crew.
[Commentator]: Haa… … Now, it seems like the game has almost gone over to LTD.
Even before Lee Jun-seo joined, we should have had an advantage in the battle… … .
Overall, I feel like LTD is understanding and dealing with PER very well!
[Caster]: That’s right. In fact, that’s what the LTD coaching staff interview was like last time!
Hunter’s League is a tactical game, a manager’s game anyway. So we’re going to crush PER. Something like that.
[Commentator]: I heard that starting this season, LTD has hired many new staff, including not only the manager and coaches, but also tactical analysts and technical coaches… … .
The results appear to be showing now.
Certainly, that kind of image was reflected on the screen.
The combination of Ryu Jae-jun and Lee Chang-hyun was neutralized by Yoo Hye-ju’s [Sanctuary] and the LTD team members’ defensive superpowers.
Not only that, LTD had not been hit properly yet due to PER’s linked attack covering accurately.
With Lee Jun-seo joining, PER is on the defensive.
In the end, PER chose to retreat rather than confront. Even to the point of giving up on Lee Gil-han.
Without realizing it, Jeong Hye-yeon couldn’t help but let out a quiet sigh.
It was the same even though it wasn’t my team’s game.
‘after…….’
Sitting alone, Jeong Hye-yeon, who had been cheering for the team she had been supporting for the past time, felt her heart ache.
Still, we broke up hoping for each other’s well-being. I hoped we could keep moving forward, but I guess it was a shame that it didn’t happen.
Or, is it because he is so angry at the PER that he can’t move forward even after abandoning himself and asks why he let him go if it was going to be like this?
No, that’s definitely not the case.
From Part 3 to Part 2. And now to the top of Part 2.
However, if they lose to LTD, which is considered inferior to PSG, the PER advance will stop here, as it is a PER that is looking up to the first division through promotion and relegation.
I hated that.
At that moment, I was chewing my fingernails in anxiety and worry.
PER is continuing to decline, and there is a prevailing expectation that LTD will win without a hitch.
In that situation, a change occurred on the battlefield with Lee Yeon-ju’s voice.
***
Meanwhile, inside the game, the time goes back to when Lee Jun-seo just joined.
A battlefield where the fighting continues with great intensity. The presence of Lee Jun-seo, who suddenly appeared during the ongoing battle between LTD and PER, was tremendous.
“……senior!”
The expressions of the LTD team members smiling brightly. On the other hand, most of the PER players’ expressions were stiff.
‘This… … the game has become too difficult’
As expected, Gilhan Lee, who had entered to push back his opponent with his rushing ability, was instantly isolated.
‘That’s… … going to be difficult.’
If you go in now to save Lee Gil-han, you will be wiped out.
And one thing was clear: we couldn’t continue fighting like this.
If we blocked Lee Jun-seo’s ability like he was using an EMP bomb, there would be no benefit to us at all.

‘From the beginning, even in the basics of pure fighting without any ability, the other side would be far superior… … .’
“Let’s take it out for now.”
“What about Gilhan?”
“I can’t take care of everything right now. I have to at least survive and see the rest.”
I spoke into the earphones, but Lee Jun-seo, who was far away, heard what I said and answered me, as he had pretty good hearing.
“Who cares?”
Phew -.
Lee Jun-seo, who entered the center of PER’s camp alone in an instant.
A strange wave spread out from around that guy.
‘[Static Mana]… … .’
It seemed that he was positioned on the opposite side of his team, so as not to influence the other guys in LTD.
At the same time, you must have been confident.
If you don’t use your abilities, no matter how many you have, they won’t be able to cause fatal damage to you. That kind of confidence.
‘The calculation is that if only Yoo Hye-joo is alive, she will eventually recover… … .’
It was a tightly planned movement. And it was a movement that knew and maximized its own abilities.
Perhaps, Lee Jun-seo and LTD will launch a counterattack.
‘Are you trying to end it here so as not to give variables… … .’
In fact, the atmosphere at LTD seemed good, and even Lee Jun-seo was making light-hearted jokes.
“Hey. It’s finally over. The juniors aren’t as great as I thought, but to these guys… … .”
……but.
Lee Jun-seo couldn’t speak till the end.
Jiiing -. Tututututuung!!
‘Are you finally ready… … .’
Kim Yu-hyeon, who was playing in place of Kim Do-jun in this match. The turret he created was just starting to work.
This was possible because there was a gap in Lee Jun-seo’s [Static Mana].
‘It is difficult to interfere with mana equipment or special skills that have organized and stable circuits by forming mana cores.’
In such cases, it was difficult to interfere because it was designed to operate systematically and stably.
And Kim Yu-Hyeon’s turret was no different from that kind of mana equipment, so it worked smoothly.
Instead, it took quite a while from start to finish, but I guess that can’t be helped since it’s a skill.
“you…….”
“Now is the time. Let’s take it out.”
Ta-tat -.
In this way, while Kim Yu-Hyeon’s turrets were providing covering fire, he was able to escape the threat of LTD.
LTD’s team members did not follow.
“Haa… … Haa… … So how are we going to play out the game now?”
Han Ji-soo took a deep breath and hardened her expression. She seemed a little depressed because the situation was not easy.
“And where is Yeonju in this match? He uses [Binding] from behind with the right timing as usual. He barely speaks. I can’t even see him. What the heck… .
“The performance is… … .”
I was keeping it as a sort of trump card for this match.
However, it required quite a bit of preparation as you could be tracked down if you weren’t prepared, and it seemed like the preparation wasn’t finished yet.
And even if that preparation is complete, that alone won’t be enough to win…
“Well. I had to play some music because… … .”
“What did you order me to do?”
Han Ji-soo asked with a puzzled look. But it wasn’t the time yet.
In this frustrating situation where nothing is progressing, even the earphone connection of Gilhan Lee, who was unable to escape together, was cut off.
After entering with the rushing ability, it was natural that the position became ambiguous due to the appearance of Lee Jun-seo… … .
It was inevitable that the mood would become even more tense.
“……after”
“Those guys… … Now, just like we did in the QED match last time, if we just stick together, we’ll win?”
“Well, I guess not?”
If that were the case, Hunter’s League would have been really boring.
If you just buy a bunch of guys with good abilities and start a fight, it will become a game you win.
“You know what? The Hunter’s League is a fairer game than you think.”
“what?”
Han Ji-soo looked at me as if asking why I was suddenly saying such nonsense.
There was no word more fitting in the current situation.
“What’s the difference between QED transmission and now? Do you understand now?”
It was a completely unrelated story. Fair play? Is it different from QED before and now?
Han Ji-soo frowned as if she had thought about it carefully and only then realized something.
“Are you talking about… relics?”
There was no need to answer.
Yes, this is the last chance for this match. The only key to victory lies in the relic.
Sometimes powerful enough to turn the game around, but sometimes not as useful as you might think.
But it is clear that it can give new abilities and opportunities to those who lack the ability.
The most closely related to the origin of the Hunter’s League, and also the most important cause of upsets.
It was a relic.
***
The origin of mana equipment was that it was a replica of a relic that contained strong mana and exercised special abilities.
As such, the relic corresponding to the ‘original’ had much more special and limitless possibilities than the mana equipment.
That’s why in the Hunter’s League, obtaining a relic is one of the biggest factors that determines the direction of the game.
‘And if there was a reversal, it was usually related to a relic.’
A clash of abilities and abilities. Teamwork. Pure combat skills. Utilizing the special characteristics of the map.
While they are all important, the variable nature of the relic sometimes turns all of this upside down.
“Hmm. Right. So they can’t just sit there and wait, right? If they carry a bunch of relics, there might be variables.”
“Yes. The relic itself is a device to induce a fight.”
No one likes a defensive game. If the game is just too long and there is no substance, that is a real hindrance to the box office.
In that sense, the relics were a device that encouraged players to move around the map to find relics rather than being stuck in one place.
“I get what you’re saying, but you’re trying to find the relic first to change the situation or strike first, right? Then you have to find it before they do… … Do I have to tear myself apart and search for it?”
Han Ji-soo seemed to be busily thinking about this and that.
Or maybe it was because I looked strangely calm.
You might have thought I was taking this game lightly.
But of course, that wasn’t me. There was just something waiting.
As expected, Lee Yeon-ju’s voice, which I had been waiting for, flowed out from my earphones.
-Chijik.
“……I found it.”
“Surely… … Send Lee Yeon-ju, who has location-specific abilities, to get the relics in advance… … .”
Han Ji-soo looked at me with an expression that said she just realized it.
“Yeah. Well, finding relics doesn’t always mean you win, and there are many cases where you lose… … Anyway.”
In fact, since Lee Jun-seo appeared in this game, it has been quite difficult to win with just a simple team-to-team battle.
As expected, LTD prepared quite a few ways to destroy our team.
There is a lack of manpower and strength to prepare for the game. So what should we do?
‘It’s that simple… … .’
“Han Ji-soo. I mean. This is what I think about the Hunter’s League.”
“… … .”
“It’s a fight about how you can force your opponent into a fight that is advantageous to you.”
Relics and battlefield traits. Supernatural powers and teamwork.
Amidst various variables and situations, the optimal route to victory was there.
That was my belief even before the regression. I had a long history of winning.
So now, it was time to get out of the unfavorable battlefield we had been forced into.
