Episode 133 A Slightly Different Scene
PER’s dorm was in complete chaos right now.
It was late at night, when everyone should have been asleep, and a famous American Hunters League player was there.
“Wow… is that really Lennon?”
“Hey. Then it must be fake.”
“… … As expected, Chang-Hyeon lives in a different world.”
The PER team members who had just started practicing on the second floor were also bound to receive a variety of enthusiastic responses.
He was a player that literally everyone in this building knew.
But, Lennon suddenly came to Lee Chang-hyun and said,
“I want to have a fight with you.”
This was something no one except Lehmann had expected, so everyone was shocked to the point of turning their heads upside down.
Even though Lee Chang-hyun had previously defeated Takumi Minamino, Lennon was different from that case.
That being said, it was natural to be curious as to why such a celebrity would come to this second division team and ask to have a go at it out of the blue.
But what was more interesting was Lee Chang-hyun’s reaction.
It was embarrassing, because I asked about the fight without asking a single question about why he was suddenly doing that.
“Okay, fine. What are the rules?”
“Let’s start with the map as the Palace of Dreams. And let’s start with the seven doppelgangers from the beginning.”
“that……!”
The PER team members knew the ‘chaos’ firsthand, so they couldn’t help but be shocked by those words.
“If we continue like that, there will be ‘chaos’… … .”
“It’s okay, Han-gyeol. I’m sure you’ve thought about everything. What else?”
“You can do whatever you want with everything else.”
What Lee Chang-hyun said in response to that was also unexpected.
“Oh… … That’s right? Then, since he’s someone famous that all the team members know, let’s have the entire PER team participate.”
“Huh?? Didn’t Changhyun come to see you?”
“Does not matter.”
Could it be because the other PER team members knew that they would have a hard time standing properly anyway due to the influence of ‘chaos’?
Lennon readily accepted.
“Okay, let’s begin.”
A fight in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. That’s how it began.
***
Lennon… … was a hunter who had never fought directly before his return.
Since the American League is one of the highest level leagues in the Hunters League, it wouldn’t be surprising if it were quite difficult to even make it to the international league.
‘But apart from that, his abilities and play style are quite commonly known.’
‘Giant’ and ‘hardened’. He was a person who was truly a model specialized in tanking.
As such, simple attacks are likely to be completely ineffective.
‘By the way, you want to fight in the ‘chaos’ state of the ‘Palace of Dreams’… … .’
I wonder if he wanted to know how he overcame that condition in the previous game. Honestly, I’m not sure if that’s that important.
Well, that’s not important right now.
What’s important now is the PER guys.
“Kids, do you know why I included you in this fight?”
“Huh? Isn’t that because it seems like it would be hard to win alone?”
It was truly a fitting answer from Kim Do-jun.
But of course, this match wasn’t put in for that reason.
“Since you’ve never experienced it before, except for Han-gyeol, try experiencing the state of ‘chaos’. And… …Being able to fight a hunter like that is a rare experience until you advance to the international league. If you can survive, try to hold out for once, even if it means struggling.”
I’m sure there are things you can learn from other excellent hunters besides me.
As preparations were finally complete, the PER practice room on the second floor slowly transformed into a dreamy palace.
And when the walls of the once completely white practice room were completely dyed in the purple color of the ‘Palace of Dreams’.
Jing -.
A brief moment of dizziness as if the circuits in my head were being twisted. At the same time, ‘chaos’ began.
dump.
The reaction was immediate. The PER team members who were nearby fell down because they couldn’t move their legs properly.
“Huh… … What is this… … ”
“I try to put my arms on the ground, but my thighs keep moving.”
“Poohahaha. Hey Kim Do-jun. You told me it would be easy, but now that you’ve come in, you’re rolling around instead of controlling your body.”
It was a bonus that Yoon Han-gyeol was laughing at Kim Do-jun in a great way.
Normally, I would have taught you what to do in this situation, how to overcome it, or given you some tips.
At least today, I was going to let him experience the difficulty for himself.
‘Then, let’s hide and watch for a while.’
How. Whether you can cope well or not. Or what to do in a situation where you cannot cope.
“Well, you worms, take care. I’ll go see Lennon. Oh, and watch out for doppelgangers.”
After saying those words, I turned a corner and hid myself, then observed the PER team members while wearing the mana blocking robe.
‘Well, if we wait, Lennon will come over on his own.’
It’s all good. Isn’t it good to use your time efficiently?
***
Meanwhile, Lennon was faced with a familiar sight for the first time in a long time.
I was looking straight ahead with my own two eyes at the ‘Palace of Dreams’, which was filled with an unpleasant purple color.
It felt like memories of the past were slowly coming back to me.

The screams of a dying comrade. And then, clumsily, memories of the past when I, a seasoned hunter, was walking around but couldn’t control my body properly and collapsed.
And it was not possible to escape the influence of ‘chaos’ that made it difficult to control one’s body even now.
dump.
I tried to move my left leg, but all I could move was my right shoulder and elbow.
It’s still there. It’s strange, it’s impossible to move properly, it’s a strange power that doesn’t seem to have a way to be easily destroyed, and it doesn’t seem to have a way to be used to it.
Although the feelings and sensations he felt after a long time were extremely painful, Lennon still thought about it from the beginning.
How did ‘that guy’ we saw in today’s game move, using the revealed information to the fullest extent possible, somehow.
But after a few seconds, he got up awkwardly and fell down again.
A few minutes passed like that. I guess I got used to it a little bit after some time. I managed to stand up.
‘Haa… … I guess I can’t go around and tell people I’m a famous hunter in America.’
In the midst of this, a sense of self-deprecation arises.
I limped towards the place where I could feel the flow of mana, using the control method that I had somehow become somewhat accustomed to.
Because I thought I could never get used to it anymore, I wanted to see with my own eyes what that guy I saw at the game, Lee Chang-hyun, was like.
Not long after walking like that, I felt the flow of mana and the presence of people.
‘Doppelganger… …? Or is it Lee Chang-hyun?’
Well, it didn’t matter. Lennon had ‘hardening’. Any attack from those guys wouldn’t leave a scratch on him.
As I thought that, I turned a corner of the palace and an unexpected sight came into view.
The reason was that Lee Chang-hyun was not there, and the other PER team members that the guy had brought in were desperately trying to control their bodies and move.
‘Just like back then… … .’
But that’s normal. I’ve gained a lot of experience, and I’ve practiced while chewing over my memories from the ‘Palace of Dreams’ based on those memories.
After a few minutes of adjusting, I was barely able to move while holding onto the wall.
Anyway, the game is the game. The moment I walked towards PER’s teammates.
As if they had been waiting, a bunch of doppelgangers rushed in.
‘… … .’
It wasn’t a completely unexpected situation…
but.
“Gyaaaaaaah!”
Was it because he was surprised by his doppelganger suddenly appearing from behind or beside him while he couldn’t even control his body properly?
That moment in the past that I thought was now forgotten, with only simple memories and information remaining, as I saw the sight of a PER team member screaming.
That traumatic moment when I couldn’t do anything seemed to come back to me.
Was that why?
In this case, even though they were opponents, Lennon came to his senses and found himself running towards PER’s teammates to help them.
No, I tried to run.
But… … that couldn’t be done.
Was it because I was excited in the moment? Or was it because I was in a hurry?
no.
It would be normal for a guy who was originally barely able to maintain his senses and limped while leaning against the wall to suddenly try to run.
Nothing has changed since then.
He had more trophies, was recognized among famous players, and became a famous hunter whose reputation was known in other countries.
Everything was the same.
The doppelgangers laughed at Lennon’s comical fall and swung their swords at the still dazed PER guys.
I know it’s a mock battle practice, but it’s fake.
Even though I knew that the other person wasn’t someone I had to protect or a comrade, I still felt like my heart was pounding.
I tried to stretch my arm out towards it, but there was no way to reach it.
That moment.
Kwakwakwang!
‘… … .’
Something was fired with a loud explosion, reminiscent of the roar of a mortar being fired on a battlefield.
A bullet that seemed to have something added to it, and pierced multiple doppelgangers at once with incredible destructive power.
At the end of that trajectory stood Lee Chang-hyun.
‘That guy is as expected… … .’
It was possible to move. It was clear that it wasn’t a way to escape the trajectory of ‘chaos’ or a trick.
Lennon himself was clearly influenced by ‘Chaos’ and felt its power firsthand.
‘But that’s not enough.’
Yes. Pulling the trigger and being able to move my body a little bit. That alone was not enough to change the situation.
Even if you just took out three people with that sniping attack that could be called a bombing, there are still four doppelgangers left.
‘No matter how much of an ace you are on the team, you won’t be able to win unless you use all of your body’s power… … .’
However, it was impossible because it would require completely reversing the body’s senses that had been accustomed to it for decades.
‘Yeah… … What happened in this dreamy palace was ultimately unavoidable… … That’s just how it is.’
That was the moment when Lennon gave up and had an epiphany.
Something unbelievable happened.
It wasn’t an imperfect, risky, or slightly awkward move like the one against PSG last time.
Lee Chang-hyun looks as if he is in better condition than usual.
He laid down airbeats indiscriminately, flew around with an air anchor, and changed his weapon into a sword and charged.
‘It’s not a gun, it’s a sword?’
The surprise didn’t end there.
The weapon that transformed into a sword sometimes transformed into a spear to take advantage of distance and pressure the opponent, and sometimes transformed into a shield to block attacks.
Even if you just move, your brain gets twisted and you fall over,
He changed his weapons appropriately, changed his fighting style, and changed his movements to push his body to its limits.
Lennon grimaced in pain at the sight that was so unbelievable that he could hardly believe his own eyes.
