135. Unexpected contact
An ability I accidentally gained in this life due to Man-kae. ‘Commander of the Ideal Dream’.
It was the ability to completely convey what one was imagining to the other person.
To convey something that has been imaged is to embody a sense, but ultimately it is a kind of mental image.
So just because it shows you something and makes you feel something, it doesn’t mean that you can do it in the realm of reality.
‘To some extent, it’s possible to fake something.’
And because I knew that, I showed Lennon that I had the ability to do it.
The feeling of instantly noticing the complex and changed way of operating the body, and adapting to it.
‘… … But still, I guess I should say that it’s not like he’s completely lying since he actually did this before the PSG match.’
And as that feeling spread, it showed that the sensation of moving around became familiar as the body’s senses were completely reestablished.
Lennon’s eyes were trembling slightly.
“What kind of ability is it to convey sensations and images like this… … and that there are people who can do it in this way?”
This is it. I’m sorry for reacting so strongly.
However, if you practice this way, you will definitely be able to move freely to a certain extent.
So, it’s not like it’s a completely worthless gift.
“Is this somewhat of an answer?”
“You really have an outrageous ability.”
Lehmann was quietly smiling as he watched him turn down Lennon’s offer to recruit him and show his ability.
Well, Lehmann invested a lot of money in the team because of me, so it would be a big blow if I left. Besides, now the team is really capable of aiming for the top division.
Considering what it means to an American to have a Hunters League team, I don’t think Lehmann will harbor any negative feelings toward me in the future.
So everything ended warmly
“… … I got a good one. But, I still have some change left over for the service.”
‘Change… …’
Certainly. It would be difficult to see that kind of skill, and the spectacle that was shown in today’s game.
“You showed me something fun, so I guess I should return the favor. I won’t ask you to join our team anymore.
But even after this season ends, come play at our team’s home in the American league. We’ll show you something great in return.”
“Aww… … As I get older, I become more and more foolish.”
“Would it be Lehmann’s fault?”
Lennon and Lehmann started bickering. Anyway, I guess that’s what everyone wants to do when they get older.
In my opinion, Lennon and Lehmann were both like this.
Watching is just for a moment.
“Then I guess I should go back since it’s late. I have plans for tomorrow. I don’t want to be in the same place with this guy who has no morals or gratitude.”
“Oh. Is that so? Then I’ll stay here for a day. But since this is a team that Lehman invested in, there must be at least one empty room, right?”
“너 이 개새끼…….”
These two were truly not easy people.
All I can do is to escort them both out for the sake of the team’s peace.
“Since you came suddenly today, I don’t think I can make any special preparations for you.”
He laughed and pushed both Lennon and Lehmann’s backs out.
I felt like it had been a really tiring and long day.

Meanwhile, behind me, as I greeted Lennon and Lehmann, the team members were reminiscing about their experience with Lennon in the ‘Palace of Dreams’, no, the first part of the rules.
“… … Certainly, the difference between the large and small pain penalties is huge. Aside from the ‘chaos’ effect, it’s also difficult for people to move properly when they’re injured.”
The topic that came up the most among the team members was, as expected, the ‘pain’ felt in the match under the first-tier rules.
“That’s true. So, since there are some players who abuse that from the first part, you should be careful.”
“really?”
Lee Gil-han was indignant, as if asking if there was such a person.
‘Well, most players wouldn’t be like that.’
Basically, sanctions are imposed when intention is felt, so it does not happen, but it is true that the risk is bound to exist.
“You don’t have to worry too much. In the end, the one with better skills will always win.”
It was Ryu Jae-jun who was silently listening to the conversation.
I felt a sense of security because Ryu Jae-jun, who had received elite training as a hunter from Lee Geun-taek and Jo Jun-ho, was there.
And actually, I said this in a scary way, but the pain you feel in Part 1. When you get used to it, there are often players who stand out more in Part 1.
‘Even though the physical endurance of the Awakened may be better than that of the average person, their mental strength does not match their endurance.’
If you have a strong mentality, there are players who have been able to advance in the first division rather than the second division despite not having strong abilities.
“Jaejun is right. Once you get used to it, it’s all a battle of skill. And you’ve probably all seen Part 1, right?”
The Hunters League is one of the most popular sports, regardless of the status of Korean hunters. Now, it can be said that they are finally standing on the stage they have truly dreamed of.
“Yeah. It took longer than I thought.”
“If you climb one level per season, it’s the fastest considering the rules, but what’s so long about that?”
“Anyway, even if we lose all the remaining games, we’re already guaranteed to be relegated. We need to prepare for the first division relegation tournament. The schedule has been set.”
“already?”
When I said that I was preparing for the promotion/relegation match in a situation where the second division league was not yet completely over, the other team members seemed a bit surprised and asked me.
“It’s not that we have to prepare in advance, but since we have to fight on the opposing team’s stage, it’s natural that we have to prepare in advance. That’s why we even scheduled a practice match in advance. Keep that in mind.”
“Oh… … It’s finally a practice match, but are you debuting in the first division? Huh? So who’s your opponent?”
Kim Do-jun looked proud and asked me.
“Oh, your opponent? I happened to get in touch with player Kang Jun-hyeok, and LTD of the first division.”
The once smug expression suddenly became strange.
***
The Hunters League’s second division was generally faster than the first division. Furthermore, the second division did not have a postseason and the regular season’s top team was chosen as the champion, which made the difference even bigger.

Does that mean that the second division can enjoy the remaining time of rest after the regular season ends? That is not the case.
After the post-season and finals of Division 1 were over, a promotion/relegation match was held between the bottom two teams of Division 1 and the top two teams of Division 2.
‘So, actually, I don’t have any plans after the finals are over… … but I never thought I’d get asked for something like that.’
It was a very unexpected contact for Kang Jun-hyeok.
It must have been the last party when we first met, but I never thought I would receive a request for a practice match with LTD 1 through Kang Jun-hyeok.
LTD, the top team in Division 1. And for Kang Jun-hyeok, it didn’t matter because he didn’t have a schedule, but honestly, even so, would his PER be a match for a Division 2 team?
Even Kang Jun-hyuk was unsure whether it was reckless or confident.
Lee Chang-hyun’s skills that I saw at the last party weren’t bad, but when I think about the pain that a second-tier player feels when stepping into the first-tier for the first time and the limitations that come with it… … I think that when playing against a team with a big skill gap, I tend to feel discouraged.
“Well, after the first division schedule is over, we’ll have to think about the international league schedule. At that time, it’ll be hard to make practice schedules with other first division teams, so it wouldn’t be hard to include one second division team. You did a good job, Junhyeok.”
“No, I didn’t save him. It was the team that saved him… … .”
“What? That team requested it? Hmm… … Part 2… … Let’s see. There’s a schedule for the Part 1 promotion match. Is that why?”
“I think so too… … .”
“Haha. They’re pretty passionate guys. Come to think of it, they’re the guys from back then. The guys from the 3rd division that we used to refer to for strategy. So I feel a little bad about that… … If they play against our team from the first 1st division, it’ll be tough.”
“But when you have to keep your wits about you while thinking about the international league, you can’t do it half-heartedly. You know that, coach?”
Yeah, it was actually a good opportunity. Maybe it was just having the right opponent at the right time when you need to win the postseason and maintain that winning feeling.
Hasn’t Korea been consistently defeated in the International Hunters League? If we think about making it to the International League finals this year, we’ll have to do everything we can.
“Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, I’ll tell the guys. The members will go just like the international league members.”
“Yes. I’ll tell you that. Okay.”
‘Since you were the one who started the conversation, there’s no such thing as being half-hearted… … since you’re dealing with a rookie.’
Lee Chang-hyun. He’s definitely a guy I’ve been keeping an eye on, but not yet.
They say you can tell a promising tree from its seedlings, but… … thinking that we could put up a decent game against Division 1 LTD was like thinking of a frog in a well.
‘As a rookie who is highly anticipated, I think I need to show him a wider world.’
Kang Jun-hyeok thought that Chairman Lee Geun-taek might be a little angry.
But what can you do? Growing up is always accompanied by pain.
Even though he admitted it, the guy’s arrogance was a bit arrogant.
Well, for now, we’re focusing on the regular league and postseason.
***
Meanwhile, just as I was starting to practice according to the rules of Part 1, I received a new call.
[Lee Geun-taek]: The season is ending now, but has anything happened?
Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I last contacted Chairman Lee Geun-taek.
But I wondered if something had happened.
What’s the big deal? Is there anything special about it? If Hunters League players were in season, they would practice and prepare for the games every day.
[Lee Chang-hyun]: Nothing much. Is something wrong, Mr. Chairman?
[Lee Geun-taek]: Tsk… … Why did I have to contact you for something to happen? The guy who even took the relic from me… … Hey… … .
‘As the Hunter’s Association President, you have a lot to do, but do you feel lonely?’
Was it absurd to feel upset because I didn’t find myself? That thought only lasted for a moment. Lee Geun-taek’s texts continued.
[Lee Geun-taek]: Okay. Okay. What did I expect…? Anyway, since you said something, you’ll challenge for the first round of promotion, right?
[Lee Chang-hyun]: Oh, of course. By the way, Chairman. I heard that cats are really good for relieving loneliness. Why don’t you try raising one, Chairman? I know someone who raised one, and they’re fluffy and cute, and they don’t require much care… … .
[Lee Geun-taek]: … … .
[Lee Chang-hyun]: It’s just that I thought you might get lonely if you only work alone…
It clearly says that it has been read, but I haven’t received a reply for several minutes.
Oh, right. I thought it wasn’t easy, to the point where I thought the Hunters League matches were easier.
I even thought that dealing with Chairman Lee Geun-taek might be more difficult than dealing with my girlfriend.
As the conversation was cut off, I was contemplating what I should say first, and before I knew it, a reply came.
[Lee Geun-taek]: Whatever, come tomorrow. Bring all your team members.
What? If you’re going to give me something, can’t I just go?
You really want me to bring all my teammates? I’m bored, I gave you the relics, and the results for this season are somewhat different, so are you trying to show off your temper?
My head is getting complicated.
