146. People who know everything
Memories before regression.
Even though quite some time has passed since I returned, I still think about it sometimes. Especially when people I knew in the past pass me by.
While leading the PER team members to the Hunter Union Training Center to play a practice match, the LTD team members who had entered ahead of them were seen.
Led by Kang Jun-hyeok and the general manager of LTD, the first division team he was a part of before returning. The faces of the LTD team members were revealed.
Looking back, it was a good team.
Before the team members changed. The first team I was a part of, and the first season that made me a Royal Roader.
Memories of that time at LTD are still vivid in my mind.
A strong desire to improve, but also a very close bond of camaraderie. A free atmosphere. And ultimately, a past where they achieved the first international league championship in the history of the Korean Hunters League.
‘Of course that won’t happen anymore.’
The past before the regression and the present are already quite different.
When I entered the 1st division LTD, Kang Jun-hyeok was preparing to transfer to an overseas team, but even now, I haven’t heard any news of that.
Maybe it’s one of the butterfly effects that occurred because of my regression.
“Why are you standing there all of a sudden instead of going? Are you nervous because the opponent is a 1st division LTD?”
Kim Do-jun thought he had figured out a way to do it, so he tried to tease me. You rascal. If he was scared, he would have been scared himself.
“No. Okay. Let’s go.”
“What? It’s bland.”
The current LTD team members may not remember me, but I still remember the faces of the first team members.
Perhaps this practice match will have a greater meaning than I think.
***
Hunter Union Training Center. The players training there are very diverse, from the 3rd to the 1st division. And, of course, the matches of the 1st division players are always talked about in the training center.
‘Of course, if it were a private practice match, that wouldn’t happen… … but I thought they’d have a public match.’
To be honest, it was a little unexpected.
Normally, it would be better to hold a closed practice match to prevent exposure of power, but was it because LTD was preparing for an international league match?
We prepared this much. Our team is this strong. We will do well in the international league. I thought maybe they wanted to show that determination.
‘Well, it’s not that bad from our team’s perspective either.’
The crowd in Part 1 is on a different level from Part 2 and Part 3. Wouldn’t this be good practice for PER, who has yet to play in front of a huge crowd?
“Wow… … There are so many people.”
“At this point, there are almost no games left. Excluding our opponents who are in the first division promotion match, there aren’t any teams with games left, right?”
“If I make a mistake here, won’t I get stuffed?”
“Are you thinking you’ll make a mistake before you even start?”
Among themselves, what if they do badly? What if they do well but the other players are watching and analyzing them? While they were filming the skit, the LTD team members approached them.
“Brother! How have you been?”
Kang Jun-hyeok, who still acts as if they are close, and the LTD team members are following behind.
“Ah. But, it hasn’t been that long since I last saw you. Last time, when I was with the chairman… … .”
“Huh? Oh, right. That’s right.”
Kang Jun-hyeok touched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed. After all, the practice match with Lee Geun-taek last time wasn’t an official event.
“Well, I guess that’s fine. Just take it easy. They’re still not used to the rules of Part 1.”
“I’ve thought about it a little… … but… … .”
“But… … .”
“The people coming today are special people. Do you know the LTD general manager? He usually doesn’t come to watch the game in person, but he insisted on coming to watch today’s game. Besides, LTD is playing right before the international league game. You can’t take it easy, right?”
Huh… … .
I knew him as the general manager of LTD. Before I returned, it seemed like he had stepped away from the front lines and gone into management as soon as I was promoted to the first division.
In many ways, he was quite interesting as a strategist in the hunter sports world and a man of many words.
“Of course, just because we’re being tough doesn’t mean we’re going to… … just do the first part of the initiation ceremony. We’re going to do it seriously.”
“Hmm… …I see.”
Actually, this is what I expected. They are not the kind of people who would play around and do whatever it takes to fit us into a practice match at this point.
However, we had also strengthened our forces considerably this time, so we had no intention of giving in easily.
“But, don’t you think that means we’ll give in easily?”
“Well. Okay.”
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled, looked back, and waved, and PER and LTD returned to their respective teams’ waiting areas.
“What did you say before the game?”
“It’s nothing special. I just wanted to show you what it’s like.”
Maybe he was conscious of it because he was the most famous LTD in the first part. He answered Ryu Jae-jun’s question like that and smiled.
Before returning, I went up to the 1st LTD with Ryu Jae-jun and became a Royal Roader. Now I’m facing that opponent. Life is something to behold.
***
The purpose of this practice match was actually for PER to get beaten up once by the “1st division veteran team.”
To be honest, PER is still far from reaching 1st LTD.
As I’ve regressed, I know the level very well and I know the difference.
Feeling pain. This one small difference prevents the player from making detailed plays that they could have done originally, and blinds the player.
It prevents you from making cool-headed judgments.
So, I thought that Part 1 needed to grow over a longer period of time, unlike Part 2 or Part 3.
The most important thing in that case. That’s it.
“That team we’re fighting today. I think it’s good to start with that team as your initial goal. You don’t have to be too frustrated or disappointed if you lose.”
The first goal was to set a benchmark.
“… … And. Since they have the upper hand, we also have the advantage of map selection, so let’s make good use of that.”
Of course, in order to reach that goal, it is important to first do your best and measure the gap.
“The strategy is as planned. Let’s prioritize joining in. Yeonju. Where are the kids?”

“All the team members are joining without any problems… … and the enemy team doesn’t seem to be trying to defeat each other individually.”
Well, I guess LTD, who is about to have an international match, probably wants to check if their teamwork is working well rather than practicing for a one-on-one match, so I expected they wouldn’t come up with an early strategy.
“Isn’t the map the same as the city map I told you about and taught you before? Meet up at the apartment complex around 7 o’clock.”
“okay.”
‘But since LTD has clearly read it, we also have a chance… … .’
I thought I would show my teammates the bitter taste of Part 1 by using LTD, but I had no intention of just taking it easy.
First of all, this is the map I chose after receiving a concession. This is a city full of apartments. And I planned to use this map to give LTD quite a bit of trouble with my special tactics.
“Wow… … But it’s really strangely well-done. The early joining.”
“It must be because they are trying to get in sync while preparing for the international competition.”
“But are we okay with this? We haven’t even mastered all the new technologies yet. This apartment complex looks good to protect, but what if the enemy comes looking for the relic…?”
“No, the opponent won’t try to find the relic and attack.”
The opponent isn’t sincere. No, they can’t be sincere. They’re close to the first team, but they’re still a second team. With so many eyes watching, would the opponent go around looking for relics just to be a bit more careful?
If you do something like that, the reputation of Korea’s No. 1 team, LTD, will be tarnished. Why are you doing that when you’re playing against a lower league? If you want to show your ambition to prepare for the international league, you should have done something like a hot team fight. That’s what I’ll hear.
Such an obvious situation.
So, what that means is that you can roughly predict what the other person will do.
While I was simulating this match in my head, all of the PER team members had already gathered.
“Do you remember what I told you before? Let’s talk while going to the underground parking lot first.”
My teammates were skeptical when they heard the plan, but I knew it would work.
‘Well, the LTD guys. No one knows more about them than I do right now.’
Attack and strategy. Tactics to be used in the international league matches that will soon be played.
Because I know the general idea.
As expected, while quickly heading to the underground parking lot with the PER team members.
There was a strong vibration, as if the building was shaking, and a sound of destruction rang out.
‘LTD has all gathered and is starting to get things started. As expected, the first one was… Oh Je-heon.’
It’s time to have some real fun.
***
Meanwhile, LTD was also the same as all the former team members gathered together.
The only difference from PER is that LTD is looking at the apartment complex from a higher place.
It didn’t go any further than that.
“Why is it so frustrating? Why can’t we just start by going into individual battles?”
“Then there’s no point in holding a practice match.”
“They’re all gathered over there defending themselves, and you want me to just open my eyes and watch?”
“Think of it as practicing your defensive strategy, kid.”
“Who’s the kid!!”
“If you’re defending, just break through slowly. Minjeong-ah. Don’t be so nervous.”
“……yes.”
Kang Jun-hyeok tried to calm down Lee Min-jung, who was angry, but it was actually Kang Jun-hyeok who was more surprised.
‘From the selection of the map… … From the beginning, the place where it is located is the center of the apartment?’
Of course, PER was the team that was pushed back in terms of weight class, so they gave them the choice of map.
Lee Chang-hyun seemed to be preparing the perfect countermeasure for the tactic he was about to experiment with, as if he was mocking it.
Otherwise, how could such a densely packed apartment complex be located in the middle of such a city map?
‘Phew… … ‘
While I was debating whether I should continue with this as planned or give up since it seemed like the other person had prepared too well.
Kang Jun-hyeok finally made a decision.
“Anyway, we absolutely have to practice the strategy we practiced today in a real-life situation.”
“You want to do that on this map?”
“Yes, Jeheon.”
“yes.”
Oh Je-heon, who was called by Kang Jun-hyeok. He is an awakened person with special abilities that are rare in the Korean Hunters League.
He swung his arms.
And as if in response to that movement, meteorites began to fall from the sky.
“Let’s get on with the rest.”
“yes.”
Kang Jun-hyeok, from the very beginning, had the feeling that this match was being played into his hands.
I half thought that they had thought all this through.
He led his team to their opponent with his head in a mess.
