118. Interview Challenge
After the game, PER’s waiting room was unusually warm.
“Hey!! Changhyun! You did it again!”
Perhaps it was because most of the games had been flat so far. Coach Lee Jong-gyu warmly welcomed them and hugged them.
“That’s right… … It’s not like we’ve only played once or twice. Why is it like this, really?”
Aside from him, the rest of the PER team members who were waiting for the game to end in the waiting room also cheered.
“But this time, I really thought I lost. I’m so embarrassed, Chang-Hyeon.”
“You got beat by Lee Jun-seo right from the start? It’s okay… … After all, we won the match anyway, and if the opponent prepares a tactic, the one who originally prepared it is at a much greater disadvantage.”
Bad plays definitely require feedback, but Yoon Han-gyeol’s encounter with Lee Jun-seo was simply bad luck.
It was like this because it was the second part, but I needed to adapt because things like this will happen more and more in the future.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean there was no way to deal with it.”
“Eh… …? Is that so?”
Yoon Han-gyeol looked at him with a surprised expression as if wondering what the heck that method was.
“Don’t ask me this time, think about it yourself. There will be more and more situations like this where I won’t be able to tell you.”
I had to learn how to think for myself, how to realize things for myself.
“Tch, I’m going to get beat up by that guy. Huh? What if I was there instead of Han-gyeol?”
“You sent the other person away after blinding them?”
Some of the PER members burst out laughing at my words.
Still, it was true that Kim Do-jun had a greater chance of holding up better than Yoon Han-gyeol.
“Ha. Okay. There are more than one or two things I prepared to show you in the second match~ Ugh~”
Seeing him speak like that, it seemed like he had prepared something.
‘I wonder if there’s another… … a new meme like the sensational snowball villain from last time… … .’
In many ways, I felt like it was completely unpredictable because the direction and appearance of the play had changed considerably since the return.
Well. Anyway, since Kim Yu-Hyeon was quite active in this game, I don’t think it was a mistake to go with this roster.
‘Next time, instead of Lee Gil-han, let’s put Kim Do-jun in… … .’
The number of team members will continue to increase in the future, so it is really important to select team members while considering the combination and synergy of each team member and the opponent.
Of course, only one person is changing now.
“By the way, who is the MVP of this game?”
In this game, Kim Do-jun only watched from the waiting room, but it seems like MVP is interested.
I really thought he was a guy who you never know.
By the way, as for the MVP… … if I had to pick, I thought it would be me.
If you think about the highlight of this match, it would probably be the final battle.
When Han Ji-soo and Ryu Jae-jun were running away as bait, I shot them one by one with covering fire and sent them flying.
Even the opposing team’s ace, Lee Jun-seo, was sent to a one-on-one duel.
Clean and perfect until the end~
Honestly, there’s nothing more to see.
“Who is it? Shouldn’t the MVP be me? It would be ridiculous if they didn’t give it to me.”
Thinking about it, I think the highlight video was also chosen well.
While I was thinking like that, adjusting my clothes, and thinking about what to say in the interview, a staff member opened the waiting room door and came in.
“Congratulations on your victory. Please interview Lee Yeon-ju for the MVP.”
“?”
“?”
“Kick… … Kickkickkick.”
Kim Do-jun laughed at me.
‘Ugh… … What a world… … .’
Lee Yeon-ju, who was standing there alone, dumbfounded, was led out by the staff’s hand.
***
Lee Yeon-ju. She has been a member of PER since the 3rd division undefeated era, but has never received an MVP award even once.
That’s why I couldn’t help but be taken aback when I received this interview request.
‘Why on earth…? Actually, I haven’t defeated a single person… … .’
This match seemed to have helped quite a bit.
The answer to that question could be found in the commentary from the broadcasting crew that echoed through the hallway as we left the waiting room.
[Caster]: Ah… … The MVP of this match! PER’s Lee Yeon-ju was chosen! She received one more vote than Lee Chang-hyun.
[Commentator]: It’s true that Lee Chang-hyun is good at a certain thing. However, in this match, Lee Yeon-ju showed a much more developed performance than before.
I think that’s where the points were added. What changed the situation was that Yeonju Lee’s ‘Anti-Manastone’ and ‘Bondage’ support were fatal.
In short, Lee Chang-hyun has shown a lot so far, so he should have done even better to receive it.
After hearing that explanation, I thought, “Oh, I see,” for a moment.
‘So what should I answer… … .’
Lee Yeon-ju, who was not used to standing in front of so many people or answering questions, felt dizzy.
Even at that time, Lee Yeon-ju was moving along with the staff and finally arrived in front of the caster.
Cheers from the audience.
It wasn’t the first time I’d heard it, but it was the first time I’d gotten this kind of reaction when I went up alone. I lowered my head without realizing it.
I felt like my soul was being sucked out of the sparkling, cheering atmosphere of that place.
In the midst of all this, the caster spoke first.
“Ms. Lee Yeon-ju… … Are you okay? Can we start the interview?”
I guess his complexion looked a little off.
But actually… …it’s not that I’m in bad condition.
‘I’m so nervous… … .’

I usually get nervous when I play, but now it felt like my stomach was shaking even more.
But coming up here and not being able to say a word seemed like a division in itself.
“……yes I’m okay.”
Take a breath. One, two.
Lee Chang-hyun may have originally been supposed to come up. Since he came up for this interview, I thought I should at least do it properly so that he wouldn’t feel wronged…
[Caster]: This match. Many say it was the most dangerous match in the second half. LTD’s preparation was not easy. How did you feel, Yeonju Lee?
It was a simple question.
But at the same time… …I wanted to answer well.
How can I answer well?
That thought continued for a while.
“… … .”
I thought of Lee Chang-hyun, who always brings a stir during interviews and media days.
‘If it were Chang-Hyeon… … how would he have answered?’
After finally calming down, I held onto the microphone tightly.
I had to be confident and show my fighting spirit.
[Lee Yeon-ju]: Hmm. It wasn’t easy.
[Caster]: I see, that’s what you felt. This time, LTD’s power was amazing. LTD’s power is definitely…
But before the caster could continue speaking, Lee Yeon-ju spoke up.
[Lee Yeon-ju]: It’s okay. I’m not that easygoing.
Hmm. I think I said it pretty well.
Wouldn’t Lee Chang-hyun have said something similar?
Plus, I liked how he spoke a little more softly and confidently than usual.
I thought so… …
The live viewer reactions seen from beyond were spectacular.
[No, Lee Yeon-ju ㅋㅋㅋ Legend was renewed as soon as the first interview came out]
N Because I’m not that easygoing. (With a hardened expression and seriousness)
N What kind of pun is this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ It looks like he tried to imitate Lee Chang-hyun, but it was so clumsy that it was funnyㅋㅋㅋ
N lol lol lol
My face felt like it was heating up.
‘Was it that bad… … .’
But the caster, being the professional he was, continued his work without any regard for the reaction.
[Caster]: In particular, Lee Yeon-ju’s play became a hot topic in this match. Instead of joining the game right away, she avoided enemies and searched for relics.
What’s unusual here is that, aside from finding artifacts, there are many things that you don’t take with you. What’s the reason for that?
The answer was obvious.
It’s obvious, but…
‘What should I do with this… … .’
I was troubled over how to answer.
I just made the chat room burst into laughter with my reply, but I was wondering if it was right to push forward with that concept… … My head was spinning.
In the meantime, why was it? Something came to mind.
This is what Lee Chang-hyun had said before when he was giving one-on-one lessons.
‘What do you do when your head doesn’t work? Then just think about what you would do. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it from the side.’
Of course, this wasn’t said during the interview, but during the game.
As those words came to mind, I was able to steel my resolve.
‘Yeah, even if I change my attitude now… … it’ll just be ambiguous… … .’
And maybe, I thought, I had some admiration for Lee Chang-hyun, who did everything with confidence and pride.
So I said.
[Lee Yeon-ju]: Why didn’t you take the other relics you found? It’s simple. You don’t need a cow slaughtering knife to catch a chicken… … That’s it.
Perhaps because it didn’t suit him as he had said it, the ending of his words eventually became vague.
Of course, that wasn’t the real reason.
‘Originally, it was because LTD thought that if our team got caught taking too many relics, they could go back on the defensive… … .’
But I thought that if it was Lee Chang-hyun, he would never have said that.
However, in this answer, the viewer response was even more explosive than before.
[‘Horakgorakgajwa’: “LTD is just a chicken that will be eaten as a meal”]
A knife for catching chickens is enoughㅋㅋㅋ
N 1st division and Lee Jun-seo crying like a dog ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
N Isn’t this the 1st part of LTD that cuts off Lee Jun-seo?
ㄴ I think they might be gritting their teeth over there lol
No, but is that really the reason you didn’t bring it? You have so much guts
[Caster]: Ah… … I see. PER’s confidence. I think we can take it that way… … .
It seems like you had some composure even though you were on the defensive in the battle with LTD. You showed off your composure, which is unusual for a team that just came up in the second half.
I would like to tell you that Lee Yeon-ju is awesome.
‘Oh… is that so?’
The reaction doesn’t seem bad… … too?
[Caster]: Then, I have one last question for you.
In this LTD match, after finding all the relics, I used Invisible Cloak and Mana Blocker to completely hide on the map, and then used only ‘Binding’ to support my team.
Who planned this play? And can we expect more like it in the future?
Ah. It seems like he was talking about the play he and Lee Chang-hyun prepared last time.
Joker play that ties up the opponent’s feet without participating in the battle at all.
Perhaps the reason I was able to receive the MVP award today was because of that.
Thanks to that, I was able to get rid of all the LTD team members without any regrets.
‘Yes… … That skill is the real luck of my career as a player.’
Because it wasn’t a skill I originally had.
A small wish has blossomed in my mind to show off my wonderful appearance for a long time.
The cheers of the audience seen from the interview stage. The atmosphere was a bit lively.
And although it was a bit odd… … I still liked this fun place.
I have to… …work hard.
[Lee Yeon-ju]: I will continue to work hard to bind you and make you fall asleep in places you cannot see. Thank you.
fantasy,
