131. After the sea
After the game, when I, Han-gyeol Yoon, the last survivor, entered the waiting room, the other PER team members greeted me with bright expressions.
“Hey, you believed me?”
“So you left without even saying anything?”
“It’s a stepping stone for our ace’s highlight.”
Kim Do-jun winked at me as he said that.
What a disgusting guy. And he’s shameless too.
Still, he did a great job of preventing the PSG players, each of whom had high skills, from performing well.
‘Still, I need to make him realize a little more that I am in a commanding position and that he needs to cooperate.’
and…….
“The old man hunched over in the corner.”
“……? me?”
“Yes. Who else is there besides you?”
Ryu Jae-jun’s bewildered emotions were clearly revealed in his facial expressions.
Well, there has never been a match in the second division where that guy was unable to show his presence and was sent off. Even he must think it is pathetic.
But how can a person only succeed? Sometimes, he has to fall down once in a while to be human.
“When we get back, I’ll have to hold your hand and seriously explore the Hunter’s League map. Right, mister?”
Was it really because Ryu Jae-jun was someone who rarely showed his weak side?
When they saw me teasing them, laughter erupted from the PER team members.
“Ugh… … You’re an old man.”
He seemed genuinely perplexed.
It was quite funny to see him looking for a mirror while hesitating.
Because it was such a long match, everyone looked a little tired, but fortunately, the staff came into the waiting room shortly after.
“Players whose names have been called, please come to the stand.”
The last critical match in the second half. It was an interview before the match against PSG.
***
[Caster]: Thank you for waiting for a long time. The PSG vs. PER match was almost the longest in the second half. Let’s start the interview!
With the caster’s words, the interviewee came up.
Interestingly enough, this game had not only one MVP, but two interviewees.
“Huh? It’s not just me that’s going out, Kim Do-jun is going too?”
“Yes… … The relay side clearly conveyed that.”
It was a bit unexpected. Except for the first part, it’s rare for two people to appear for an interview.
Listening to what the staff said, Kim Do-jun was so flustered.
Anyway, back again. The interview was just in progress.
[Caster]: Today, we have not only the special MVP, Lee Chang-hyun, but also Kim Do-jun, who has once again become a hot topic with his unique tactics. Hello!
As the interview began, we exchanged brief greetings.
[Caster]: First of all, this is the part that I was asked about the most. It’s none other than Kim Do-jun’s surprise tactic. Was this planned in advance?
It’s a pretty thorny question from the start.
While I was wondering how to give a good answer, something suddenly occurred to me.
[Lee Chang-hyun]: I have a lot to say about that part… … I guess I can say it like this. I also felt thrilled by Kim Do-jun’s performance.
[Caster]: Oh. So it wasn’t a tactic that was discussed in advance?
[Kim Do-jun]: Chang-hyeon… … You know… … .
[Lee Chang-hyun]: I’m talking about the performance of player Kim Do-jun, who ignores the coach and the team and does whatever he wants. Haha.
If someone had seen me, they would have thought I was laughing, my mouth was smiling, but my eyes were not smiling.
Kim Do-jun was touched when he heard the compliment, but then he froze like ice.
It was half serious, half joking. I think he understood correctly.
Of course, it looked different from the viewer’s perspective.
[No lol, did you prepare something like that without your teammates knowing?]
n If you want to deceive the enemy, you have to deceive your team first.
ㄴ So you’re fooling your own team’s coach? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
N He’s a coach, but he’s also a player.
No, he’s laughing at that but it’s not a joke lol
Now that I’ve pointed out what was wrong, I should also point out what was right.
Regardless of all that, Kim Do-jun is probably the one with the strongest desire to improve in the team. He still needs to find the right direction going forward.
[Lee Chang-hyun]: Well, I think it’s commendable that he continues to think of things on his own and tries to do them.
At those words, Kim Do-jun’s spirits were revived once again.
‘I, really… … am not a kid.’
[Caster]: Haha. It seems like a really fun combo for PER. Especially in this match, Kim Do-jun pretended to be Lee Chang-hyun. Lee Chang-hyun’s sword-wielding scene also became a hot topic.
There’s also a lot of talk about whether we might see him using other weapons like that in future games.
Hmm… … I thought the caster was a bit sharp today.
In the case of [Magic Engineering Weapon Conversion], it was only used to the extent of switching between dual pistols and sniper rifles these days, but it is likely that in the future, it will be possible to use a wider variety of weapons like today.
But if I tell you all that, other teams will prepare for it.
‘Even so, there are people who watch the game, so hiding everything wouldn’t be a good idea.’
So, at this moment, I was trying to say just a little bit.
[Kim Do-jun]: Haha! You all don’t know. There’s a reason Chang-hyun is in charge of the team. It’s not just about the sword… … Ah… … It’s hot… … .
Luckily, before Kim Do-jun could finish speaking, I quickly pinched the guy’s arm.
Even though we’re on the same team, he seems like a guy you can’t let your guard down for even an inch.
Maybe he was trying to say that something good was good and that he was bragging about me, but I couldn’t let him say it when he was hiding it on purpose.

So, I quickly picked up the words.
[Lee Chang-hyun]: There are various weapons. I am preparing them, but I don’t know if they will work out well. I think I will be able to show you when the situation arises.
Of course, there will be no use in Part 2. No matter how fast you try, it will be a Part 1 promotion battle.
But I was the one who taught all the swordsmen on our team to use swords in the first place. How could I not do it?
Even if I am prepared to lose, I am not using it because it is right to hide it now considering the first division and the international league.
[Caster]: Then I guess I’ll have to watch while looking forward to another match. Ahhh… … And now, with PER beating PSG, they are in first place in the second division. They are likely to join the first division promotion/relegation match, so please give us a word of caution.
[Lee Chang-hyun]: It’s a promotion match in the first division… … My first goal when I became a hunter was to go to the first division, so I’ll do my best this time.
As I answered, I felt a sense of relief.
I was happy after returning, but on the other hand, I was always anxious.
Hunter’s League is a team game. No matter how well I do, if my teammates aren’t good, I can’t win.
In addition, I am not in a position to show an overwhelming appearance because I am not opening [Full Bloom].
This match alone was quite difficult.
But I was proud to think that I already had my own team, and that after going through the auditions and the third and second parts, I would soon be moving on to the first part.
‘Of course, before the first round of promotion, we have to make the PER guys into people, whether it’s by teasing them or something… ‘
The guys who were the last place team in the third division. And for a bunch of inexperienced rookies, they did pretty well.
If we go up to the first division, we will probably be able to recruit more good players, thanks to Lehmann’s investment, but…
[Lee Chang-hyun]: And although there were many team members who didn’t put in their best effort in this match, I want to tell all the PER team members that they worked hard.
[Kim Do-jun]: I don’t know about the hardships, but there’s a saying that goes, “The horse goes to Jeju Island, the person goes to Seoul, and the Hunters League goes to Division 1.” I’m excited because I think I can finally show my true worth to the whole country.
[Caster]: Oh… … We’ve heard the aspirations of the PER players well. Well, we’ll end the interview here. Thank you to all the viewers who have watched us so far!
With that interview, the longest game since the return came to an end.
***
Meanwhile, Lehmann and the large black man were watching the live broadcast of the game. Even though the interview was over, Lennon was unable to leave the stadium.
“Lennon. Was that game that shocking?”
Lennon did not respond to Lehmann’s words, but just stared blankly ahead with a stiff expression.
“It’s a team I invested in and there were some surprising parts to the game, but I don’t think there’s anything surprising to you from the US.”
Lehmann blurted out his words as if he was puzzled.
That was certainly true, since Korea was at an embarrassing level compared to the Hunters League in the US.
“You might feel that way if you only look at it from the outside. But Lehman… … .”
The famous American hunter. John Lennon continued speaking with difficulty.
“Do you remember the last engagement of the game?”
“The last one? Are you talking about the time when Lee Chang-hyun shot and killed the PSG guys while the doppelgangers were rushing in and everyone was unable to control their bodies?”
Lennon sighed deeply when he heard that.
“That’s not something to be taken lightly.”
Yes, the average person won’t understand it as anything more than simply ‘having good senses’ or ‘using one’s body well’.
But overcoming ‘chaos’ and using one’s body freely was not something that could be said so lightly.
Many hunters died in the Palace of Dreams. They were all experienced first-generation hunters.
“Just imagine. What if he had been in the tower when the tragedy of the ‘Palace of Dreams’ occurred in the past?”
If that had been the case, many more people might have survived.
A situation where no one can control their body properly due to the many doppelgangers that have appeared. Not the vanguard, not the rearguard. Not the tank, not the dealer. It’s a meaningless mess.
It seemed as if the days of being slaughtered one by one, with the reputation of being a first-generation hunter faded, were once again flashing before Lennon’s eyes.
The past where his comrades were brutally killed right before his helpless eyes.
“It’s annoying. I wish I hadn’t watched that game.”
Until now, Lennon had thought that it was something he could not do anything about, because in a state of ‘chaos’, it was difficult for anyone to control their own body properly.
But today, coincidentally, at a match that was recommended by Lehmann, something happened that overturned that ‘common sense’.
“Hmm… … I get that there was a way out of that situation, and I get that he did it. But you don’t have to blame yourself for that, Lehman.
“It’s already in the past, and it wasn’t your fault that you died.”
“But if I could have done like that player, I might have been able to save him.”
Lennon seemed to have been impressed by this match and was even more determined than Lehmann.
“Uhhh… … So what are you going to do now that it’s all over, Lennon?”
At that moment, unexpected words poured out of Lennon’s mouth.
“Lehman.”
“I have to meet that player.”
That was the first meeting between Lennon and Lee Chang-hyun, who are famous first-generation hunters in the US and are active hunters who occasionally compete in the US Hunters League.
