013. Evaluation
[Hunters, The Next Generation] was also one of the competition programs that had been around for a while. However, there was a big difference from other competition programs. In each program, there was a challenger who was noticeably aggressive. This may have been because the hunter industry requires a unique aggressiveness.
And in this program, the challenger was Lee Chang-hyun.
The judges’ table was once again decorated with holograms. Lee Chang-hyun was standing in front of it. As expected, he wasn’t called in separately like Yoon Han-gyeol and filmed, but rather it seemed like it was digitally directed like this.
“Mr. Chang-Hyeon, can you tell me about the hardships you faced before becoming a hunter and how you overcame them?”
“Well… … Well, I haven’t really experienced any adversity.”
The judges’ expressions were indescribably frozen. Even Jo Ah-ra had a frown on her face.
“Okay… … So what if we assume this? Hunter’s League is ultimately a team game. How would you deal with conflicts then?”
“I will make all the final decisions.”
“yes?”
“I have to make all the final decisions.”
At those words, Jo Ah-ra’s expression became so strange that it almost became weird. On the other hand, Lee Min-seok seemed a little interested. Of course, the viewers’ reaction was not very good, perhaps because of this kind of directing and editing.
[Isabella: Hahahahahaha, that’s ridiculous. But it’s true. It’s better to have one good kid than a bunch of mediocre kids and order them around. But is he good?]
[sghnm1959: Basically, your answer is too insincere. It seems like you only know yourself.]
[Lee So-hee: I agree with you. How can you do that unless you just wanted to create an unlikable character? How can you answer so carelessly to someone’s face… …
The judges’ reaction wasn’t all that good either.
“I don’t feel very good because it seems like you’re not taking it seriously.”
“If you actually have the skills, it’s confidence. If not, it’s just arrogance. Mr. Lee Chang-hyun. Then, show us your skills.”
“Third evaluation. Let’s begin.”
Just like Yoon Han-gyeol, the scenery changed in an instant. However, he didn’t seem surprised and seemed to adapt right away.
‘It wasn’t as disturbing as I thought… … .’
I thought it was quite surprising, but it was definitely different seeing it on screen.
Next, of course, was the scene of making a gun. Not only the reaction in the chat window, but also Kim Do-jun, who was right next to him, was excited.
“What, even though it’s a free weapon, is it okay to use something like a gun? It’s a weapon that’s practically obsolete in the Hunter’s League.”
“Hey. Didn’t you see me play in the survival game?”
“… … .”
Kim Do-jun tilted his head.
Ah… … Now that I think about it, I guess we’ve never encountered each other before in a survival game.
The scene from Nuttube was edited so well that it looked like an action movie. The screen was pushed in and out, the speed was fast and slowed down. By changing the tempo, it was beautifully captured that ‘one shot’ of a gun was used to accurately deal with ‘one clone’.
All of them were clean hits to the critical points where the clone’s integrated circuits were located.
On the one hand, the difficulty of the reappearing clones has increased and they have become more powerful, but Lee Chang-hyun’s method has remained the same and is simply powerful.
And soon the clone 3 minute time attack will end.
“… … .”
The judges’ comments did not continue immediately.
Jo Ara still had a frowning expression, but Lee Min-seok had a bright expression on his face as if he was in ecstasy.
No one spoke first, but on the other hand, the judges gathered around and started whispering, leaving Lee Chang-hyun alone.
It was a small meeting among themselves.
“How was it?”
Jin Su-hyeok, with a strange expression on his face, opened his mouth first.
“Good. It’s true that they used guns in an unprecedented manner, but it’s not a rule violation, and it’s not just random shooting. The accuracy is incredible. Not only that, but their movements were perfect.”
Lee Min-seok’s rave reviews continued amidst the whispers.
However, Joara did not seem to agree with this and expressed her anger in a small voice.
“This is an insult to the judging. A gun? Not only in the Korean Hunter League, but also in overseas Hunter Leagues, there are only a handful of people who can use it. The general consensus is that it is a weapon that cannot be used in the Hunter League. Even if you can easily pass the 3-minute Clone Time Attack, is it really right to use a gun?”
However, judge Lee Min-seok also took a sharp opposing stance.
“But look at that gun stance and the organic flow of the movements. It’s not like he’s fired a gun once or twice. Unless he’s some government special agent we don’t know, he has some sort of ability related to guns.”
“… … .”
“You’re sharp… … You definitely seem like someone who played in a major league in another country when Korea was treated as a peripheral league… … .”
I would say that the insight is quite outstanding.
“Juniors. I want to believe in this player’s future potential. We don’t choose based on how sincere and upright they are. We only judge based on whether they can become “excellent” hunter players. I will take responsibility for this player.”
Jo Ara nodded in agreement to Lee Min-seok’s words, unable to say anything more.
“I agree. More than anything. This is a challenger I want to see more of until the next stage.”
Jin Su-hyeok’s agreement also followed.
What’s interesting is that viewers’ reactions weren’t all that different.
[Isabella: Wow… … I was half-believing until the interview questions were asked earlier, but at this level, I can honestly expect to see a Super Rookie. Isn’t his record much higher than that of Yoon Han-gyeol, who was called a Super Rookie earlier?]
[shk12023: Seriously ㅋㅋ In Korea, there was no player with an overwhelming presence like Manaton, so there was no leader, but this time, you’re coming out~]
[Han Sol: I’m a bit hesitant… … I might just be smart enough to see through this and see that a gun would be the best fit for this clone mission… … I honestly don’t know much about his skills yet? Anyway, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.]
After giving a vague answer to the question earlier, there were some viewers who were somewhat negative, but there were also many who were anticipating it.
After I came out like that, Han Ji-soo used the gravity field to continuously take down each person with a long weapon. And Yoo Hye-joo created a wide-area heal plate to continuously heal herself and smashed their heads one by one with a hammer.
They all had quite a few unique personalities, but the ones that viewers talked about the most were definitely Yoon Han-gyeol and me.
I’ve already had enough interest in the pre-regression games, but I thought it was quite a new experience because I’ve never had to reveal myself like this.
Meanwhile, the broadcast moved on to the next episode without stopping.
The second game was a survival game.
***
The editing of the broadcast was mainly focused on two scenes. The so-called [Lee Chang-hyun, who luckily discovered the area with the hidden piece! Will he be able to break through the keeper like the first generation hunters did?] and [The 100 hunters who were chosen and chosen. They are all rookies with great potential, but which rookie will survive among them!]
In the former case, the waiting room was noisy with other applicants while the broadcast was in progress.
“Wow… … What the. There are hidden pieces in dungeons made of virtual reality too?”
“It looks like it was a copy of the dungeon that had the hidden piece.”
“I’ve never even heard of a Hidden Dungeon, let alone a Hidden Piece. How did he know?”

Most people were just bewildered and responded by asking if there was such a thing, but did not think about it further. Considering this, Lee Min-seok said,
“It seems like you have some kind of special skill, right?”
“Yes. Well… … it may not be a dungeon detection skill, but it’s highly possible. Finding such a special place in this vast place is impossible by chance.”
‘Of course, it wouldn’t be impossible if you knew the location first… … but that’s not possible.’
Lee Min-seok’s eyes instead lit up.
And the applicants’ clamor didn’t end there, as the appearance of a keeper was a rare occurrence even in the Hunters’ League.
“Wow… … If you look at the result, you should have caught the keeper, but how did you catch him? You weren’t with many people, you were alone.”
“Looking at what you found, it seems like he has superpowers too… … Isn’t that the hunter with four or five superpowers like Ethan Hawke?”
The chat window was literally on fire.
[Ganache: No, that wasn’t a fabrication, was it? How could a mere challenger find a hidden dungeon that was hidden and in a place that was impossible to find? I can smell it as a fabrication.]
[leehesin12049: Can’t you hear what the judges are saying? Our country also has a super rookie with special superpowers, but I can’t congratulate them. Haha, you’re overflowing with ignorance.]
Well… … Anyway, the interest itself wasn’t bad. The fact that there was so much attention meant that the Hunter League was paying attention too.
‘More than anything, the possibility of a quick increase in value or advancement to a higher league also increases.’
Of course, there is an age limit, so you won’t be able to advance to the upper league that quickly.
And the next scene. Lee Chang-hyun suddenly switched his weapon to a sledgehammer, ripped off a cube-shaped piece of the keeper, and used it to take down the keeper. After that, he obtained ether and teamed up with Han Ji-soo to face off against Yoon Han-gyeol… … The reaction was heated.
But that flow was short-lived. What followed was an interview. And a slightly edited one at that.
“How did you apply to the Hunters League?”
It was edited so that it looked like Yoon Han-gyeol and I were rivals, with the screens aligned in half and the screens facing each other, talking to each other.
“I applied to the Hunter’s League so that I could grow and improve myself.”
“Who else would apply if not someone like me?”
Yoon Han-gyeol and I gave alternate answers, as if to openly compare them.
And when the answers were so contradictory, one judge burst into laughter.
Netizens’ reactions weren’t much different.
[Ji Bak Ryeong: Lol look at the confidence]
[leehesin12049: It’s so different it’s funny lol]
“So… … So you must have met a lot of applicants this time. Is there anyone you would consider a rival?”
“no.”
“Yes. There isn’t.”
This time, the answers were the same for both.
However, since the rankings were different, the next question had to be different.
First was Yoon Han-gyeol.
“You passed in first place, but at the end, you seemed to have a bit of a hard time with candidate Lee Chang-hyun. Please give us a word of advice next time we meet!”
“Next time. I will never support you.”
It was the same determined look he had shown so far.
‘Are you a serious person in everything? … You really live a tiring life.’
“I had no rivals, so why did I only get 5th place?”
“It’ll all get buried anyway.”
This was in contrast to Lee Chang-hyun, who responded lightly.
[Lee Han-yi: He’s so energetic lol But if you look at his abilities, he definitely has weapon transformation?? Material transformation? Anyway, looking at that and the strange ability to shoot guns, it doesn’t seem like a dream]
[rhkhe1139: It’s like a model student vs a thug. What kind of structure is this? ㅋㅋ]
With that, the broadcast ended, and the applicants who had gathered in the waiting room in small groups of three or five checked in with each other and talked based on what they had seen on the broadcast.
