016. Don’t avoid a fight
“Anyway, I think it would be good to try it while thinking of a quick sword and an unexpected stab. That’s what I think.”
‘Should I leave it at this level?’
I originally didn’t intend to give this kind of advice, but it was a bit of a whim after seeing the guy getting sloppy.
Since it was the guy’s play style before he returned, there won’t be much change… … .
What was clear was that he might have developed his talents a little earlier.
***
“Whoa… … .”
I always felt this way, but showering after a match or training was especially special.
Maybe it was because of that unique feeling that I couldn’t leave this board.
“So, what do you think? Are you feeling up to giving it a try?”
“Um… … I’m still not sure, but I think I’m starting to get the feel of it little by little.”
Lee Chang-hyun was on his way out of the stadium after personally giving some training.
There were quite a few people outside the room, as it was a room where the dialogue had been continuously illuminated until just a moment ago.
Most of them were players or scouts from the second or third divisions. It was quite interesting to see how most of them were looking at me as if to say, “Are you interested in me?”
‘Well, if not me, then who else would you look up to?’
Even though there isn’t much to like from the status to the skills, the class with the most wins before the regression will be eternal.
On the other hand, there were some who were displeased with such a reaction and would definitely say something.
“At best, I fought against a melee dealer from a lower-ranked team in the Seoul Academy… … Tsk tsk… … .”
When I looked closely at the guy who said that, it was the guy who had been criticized for being an ignorant braggart who had just found the hidden piece.
Because of my personality, I couldn’t just let something like this go.
“I guess you can beat those lower-tier melee dealers~”
“What? Are you done talking?”
The guy answered with a sudden expression.
They say that sarcastic kids get upset when someone is sarcastic like them.
I guess this is truly an eternal truth.
“Oh. I said everything. Are you going to pick it?”
When I said that, his face turned pale, but he couldn’t answer.
But this was a fight that he started and he had no intention of stopping there.
“If you twist it, it will come out. Are you scared?”
“What… what?”
“Are you scared? The bastard is going to tear off some pepper. We can do a one-on-one right here.”
“Do you think you can’t do it if I tell you to? Go for it.”
As expected, the guy ended up exploding with anger.
Boys this age are very spirited, after all.
And it’s my style to really break the noses of these kids.
“A gun? You don’t need any of that. I promise. I’ll beat you up like a dog on a lucky day without any of that.”
This was said deliberately to further provoke his pride.
Anyway, since I had mastered all kinds of weapons before returning, there wasn’t a weapon that I couldn’t handle.
The second sparring match began in an unexpected way.
But… … hmm… … the enemy was stronger than I thought.
‘Isn’t that the guy who came in 5th place with me in the survival game?’
[Kim Jin-seung]
[skill]
[Psychokinesis: A]
[Speed: B]
[Physical Ability]
[Strength: 7]
[Reaction speed: 6.6]
[Flexibility: 7.6]
[Stamina: 5.6]
[Regeneration: 5.6]
[Mana amount: 7]
When I looked at it with piercing eyes, its status was clearly revealed.
‘Oh… I guess I’ll have to revise the evaluation.’
There were so many more useful things than I thought, from basic physical abilities to skills.
At least among these rookies, I would consider him a top-tier resource.
Besides, the gun that had already been shown once was practically sealed.
Anyway, I said I wouldn’t use a gun.
‘While my status hasn’t really developed yet, the guy has grown quite a bit. If it’s a fight of strength, I’ll definitely be pushed back.’
I had planned to have a light match with Kim Do-jun, but it seemed like I would have to give it my all. It was a match with a high risk of losing.
‘But you shouldn’t back down just because you might lose. Winning is the same as growing, and every time you avoid a fight like that, once or twice, you become a fool who will never challenge again in your life.’
As I went through various teams and met various colleagues, there were times when I hesitated whether I would do something wrong and lose the fight, and this led to impurities in my actions. And that often led straight to defeat.
Because the world where small differences make the difference between the two was the Hunters League.
So Lee Chang-hyun didn’t worry any longer.
“Come on”
***
Kim Jin-seung had already seen the previous duel between Kim Do-jun and Lee Chang-hyeon.

‘I mean, I know roughly what their strengths are and how to fight… … .’
I thought back to the things he had shown me. Aside from the guns, which were unusable due to the lack of ether, the weapons he mostly used were close-range weapons like swords, spears, and swords.
Kim Jin-seung planned to deal with this with mid-range weapons, especially his specialty, the dark weapon.
This was because he was originally a mid-range dealer, and if he used his special ability, “psychokinesis,” it was estimated that he would not lose at least in a 1-on-1 fight.
Kim Jin-seung said with a mean smile.
“Then shall we begin?”
With those words, Kim Jin-seung distanced himself from Lee Chang-hyeon. It was with the calculation that Lee Chang-hyeon would rush in with the melee weapon he mainly used.
‘Tch.’
If he had missed the timing, he could have taken the lead at the distance where his sword could reach after sticking, but annoyingly, Kim Jin-seung fell back without giving him that chance.
It was a distance that was completely reserved for mid-range dealers.
Chae Chaeng!
And after the distance was created, the secret messages poured out as if it were natural.
It was a truly one-sided attack. I tried my best to block the hidden attacks using my body vision, but there was a limit to what I could do with just my sword.
‘back…….’
It was a dark weapon fired at a moment when there was no choice but to block the front and turn back.
The waiting area was quite noisy, as everyone seemed to think the match would end at this point.
visor!
Something invisible was blocking the memorization.
‘Whew… … It’s fortunate that I got ‘Ether’ with the Manbo skill. If I didn’t have this… … .’
I would have been helpless.
By the way, how do you catch that guy who just keeps measuring distance and holding you back… … .
Unfortunately, Lee Chang-hyun did not have any weapons that could shoot from a distance other than the ether gun.
Even if you shoot a bow using the magic engineering weapon transformation, you can only produce so many arrows. That means, if you attack from a distance, you won’t have many opportunities.
On the other hand, from the perspective of the onlookers, and from Kim Jin-seung’s perspective, he couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
‘I just thought it went in completely… … What did you use to bounce it off? Is there a last resort?’
It was only once, but the fact that there was some hidden ability was a major variable because the attack that aimed for the exact square was blocked.
‘Is it a shield-type ability? … If not, I could have just blocked it all with a shield. If not… … What is it?’
Moreover, since I couldn’t see clearly, I was also afraid that it was an unpredictable ability.
It was a moment of hesitation, as I hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to continue the offensive or not.
Lee Chang-hyun’s offensive continued.
He converted the sword he had into a hidden weapon and threw it.
‘Memorization… … Only one?’
Kim Jin-seung found it funny. It seems that since there was only one sword, the amount of hidden energy that could be created by transformation was also only one.
For Kim Jinseung, it wasn’t even worth avoiding. If it was just a secret weapon, he could just block it using his ‘psychic powers’.
And the prediction was correct.
The magic weapon that Lee Chang-hyun threw stopped in midair as if it had been stuck in something.
but…….
‘I knew you had telekinesis.’
For Lee Chang-hyun, it was a technique he already knew about through [Piercing Eyes], and it was a predictable scenario.
That’s why Lee Chang-hyun hid three of the four secret weapons he created through weapon transformation.
To make one secret weapon into a “real” knife.
Shushu shuk!
Behind the dark machine that seemed to have stopped time in the air, three more dark machines flew in succession.
And exactly one, two, three. The three dark machines gave propulsion like rockets to the dark machines that were stopped by psychic power.
‘Now, all my weapons are practically thrown away… If I don’t settle this here, it’s my defeat.’
The dark machine, which was stopped by psychic powers, seemed to shake only slightly the first time, but on the second time it shook violently, and on the third time it released its psychic powers and began to move forward fiercely again.
Moreover, Kim Jin-seung was at a standstill in order to concentrate his powers.
That’s why it couldn’t be avoided.
Beep – ik
The buzzer sounded and the match was decided.
It was Lee Chang-hyun’s victory.
***
“Hoo… … So this is the candidate you think will win this time?”
“What do you think?”
“Hmm… … Certainly the sense of battle… … and the fact that he hid three secrets at the end. His sense was really good. And that guy’s status… … doesn’t seem that high?”
“As expected, you have a good eye for detail.”
One of the judges for this audition program was Lee Min-seok.
The person next to him was Lee Ui-jun, who was working as a scout in the first division.
‘I thought the level wouldn’t be that high because it’s an audition program and the academy students are all about the same level… … but they’re both better than I imagined.’
That wasn’t all.
“Minseok. That guy named Lee Changhyun. Do you know anything about him?”
“what?”
Lee Min-seok answered with a smile, as if telling me what he expected.
“Ha. You know that. Like skills. The strategy of hiding the three secrets at the end was something that couldn’t be done without anticipating the telekinesis skill.”
“… … Um, you didn’t watch the broadcast?”
“I’m not a scout, so why would I watch a show with promising young talent? It’s a waste of time.”
“I wonder what kind of skills you have for something like that… … .”
Lee Min-seok opened his eyes sullenly and said, “You should just tell me what you know, but you beat around the bush and didn’t answer… … .
But soon, as if he had made up his mind, Lee Min-seok changed his expression and spoke seriously.
“I think… … I think it’s similar to the ‘analysis’ of you, the first generation hunter, and Mr. Seungwook Kim.”
“Analysis… … .”
Lee Ui-jun couldn’t help but be surprised.
Because it was a rare skill that had only been revealed twice so far, and it was a legendary skill passed down from the first generation of hunters that had incredibly high versatility.
Although Lee Ui-jun also had an analysis plan, it was a skill that was clearly inferior to that of the first-generation Kim Seung-wook hunter, so it was very different from the ‘real analysis plan’.
“Aren’t you overestimating just because you can see through one superpower?”
“No. On the contrary, it is more likely that we are underestimating them. You may not have seen it, but in the survival game, they actually knew the location of the Hidden Piece Dungeon. In the preliminaries, they were seen doggedly targeting only the clone’s integrated circuits.”
“… … .”
“Yeah, if that guy debuts in the first division, that’s what people will say. Isn’t it the revival of Kim Seung-wook, the legendary hunter from the first generation?”
I couldn’t help but be shocked. There was still a huge gap between Lee Eui-jun, who played in the first division, and Lee Chang-hyun, who played in the third division, or rather, the league for academy-level rookies.
That was because the presence of the hunter Kim Seung-ok was so great to hunters of past generations.
“Do you think that’s all? I think that guy probably has a few more skills.”
Even Lee Ui-jun, a first division scout, couldn’t help but turn a blind eye to those words.
