166. Part 1 Return
In fact, there was a way to make this relegation match easier.
As Ryu Jae-jun said, if I had used a strategy that utilized my teammates a bit more, no, even if I had started the match 2 vs. 7 with only Ryu Jae-jun sticking with me, the fight would have been much easier and overwhelmingly resolved.
‘Especially in Ryu Jae-jun’s case, if he had just rushed into a part that wasn’t blocked by [Mana Protector] and caused a wave, I would have been able to follow up and control the game much more easily.’
But I didn’t do that.
To be honest, this was a bit of a greed on my part.
The match was worth it.
I don’t know about the other PER team members, but I’ve gone through a regression and am back here, in Part 1.
It was a declaration of war on that.
That’s why this game needed to be like this.
I’m back in this league again.
In this form, he said he had returned, prepared to become more perfect than before.
It was a tactic that took that kind of appearance into account to some extent.
‘I expected that he would be able to pick me, but I didn’t think he would pick me first… … .’
In the end, the game went as initially expected.
So the result was natural.
“The MVP of this game is Lee Chang-hyun. Please prepare for the interview.”
“yes.”
First stage. First interview.
I thought that this one step would be enough to open the door to the first division.
***
It was a different level of cheering than before, but it was a familiar cheering.
As I came out of the waiting room and headed towards the stage where the casters were, an enormous cheer erupted in an instant.
Looking around the stands, as expected.
I met eyes with Lee Jeong-hoon, who was looking at me with bright, happy eyes.
I felt fortunate that I was able to play a game without feeling ashamed.
That was all in an instant. Soon, we arrived in front of the caster and the interview began.
[Caster: Hello. This is the promotion/relegation match of the Korean Hunters League 1st Division. We will be interviewing the owner, captain, and coach of PER, the winning team and now a 1st Division team. Lee Chang-hyun.]
[Lee Chang-hyun: Hello.]
[Caster: First of all, congratulations on this match. Did you know that you broke the Hunters League match record?]
‘Was that what it was?’
It was the shortest record… I wasn’t really conscious of it, but that’s how it happened. Since it was a match that was a kind of declaration of war, I thought it would be good to have a title like this.
[Lee Chang-hyun: Of course. From the beginning, I came here with the intention of setting the shortest record.]
The man who finishes the game the fastest in Korea. I thought it would be nice to have a nickname like that.
I simply said that with that much in mind, but the reaction from the audience was unusual.
The audience responded to my boast that I had come with the intention of setting a new record.
A sudden and intense reaction. If other PER players had seen this reaction, they might have hesitated, but for me, who has interviewed people in all kinds of games, it was actually an element of enjoyment.
I also thought that it might be fun for the people watching to give answers like this.
[Caster: So you had the shortest record in mind from the beginning? What I mean is, did you plan this match by predicting the flow of the match in advance? Falling alone, going 1v7, and defeating them all by yourself?]
[Lee Chang-hyun: To be honest, yes. At first, all TAM team members equipped mana protectors, and you could say that they planned it while installing them.]
Actually, there was a bit of coincidence involved. Even for me, 7 vs. 1 was not an easy challenge.
The mana protector strategy that was prepared to destroy me would not have become a strategy that would tie me up against TAM if it weren’t for my thick experience and technique.
[Caster: By the way, the topic of conversation in this match is, of course, the shooting of TAM players in the blind spot… … Can we talk about that?]
Next is a story about ability.
Normally I don’t talk much about my abilities or skills in interviews, but it was okay to talk about this ricochet shot.
‘Well… … It’s a technique that’s almost as close to pure technology as you can see.’
Even if you look at it, you can’t follow it, and in the first place, there is no leader to follow.
[Lee Chang-hyun: Oh, that’s the part. I expected you to ask questions about it, but… … It’s not as special as you think. When you become an Awakened, you’re probably treated as a kind of superhuman, and your five senses and overall human specs increase. The orbit of the dotan is purely a technical area.
There, it’s just my usual ability to shoot bullets added on.]
Of course, I didn’t say everything.
[Piercing Eyes] that can gauge the trajectory, or [Legendary Sniper] that can adjust the somewhat shaky ballistics.
I can’t leave this out, but isn’t this also ultimately my ability?
Besides, I pride myself on not being so simple that others can imitate my skills, so I’m not saying that I’m lying at all.
However, the reaction in the community was heated as some thought this was a bit of a deception.
[Summary: It worked when I did it. Why can’t you guys do it?]
A sniper soldier on active duty is crying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I don’t have enough effort. I don’t have enough effort.
But in reality, even if you have some ability, I don’t think you’ll be able to do something like Lee Chang-hyun.
I cried because of the deception of the talented person~
[Caster: Hahaha. You are really refreshing. From the techniques used in this match to the abilities. I heard it all well. Then lastly… … Player Lee Chang-hyun. And PER’s determination for Part 1. Can I hear it once?]
It made me laugh.
In fact, the purpose of today’s interview was to say this.
[Lee Chang-hyun: I don’t know if anyone remembers, but… … The first interview I gave after I first went up to the 3rd division was this. ‘There are no good teams in the 3rd division.’
And PER, which was a team that lost every game that season, won every game in the third division. … … And here’s what I’m going to say. There are no good teams in the first division either.]
The audience shook violently at those words.
Well, the fact that you came all the way here shows that you have a deep affection for the Korean Hunters League, no matter which team it is. But since you said that you can’t do all the Korean Hunters League teams, it didn’t look good.
but.
[Lee Chang-hyun: If I say this, there will be some who are curious. Really? You say they can’t do it all? Then where are the good teams? I’ll answer like this. The good teams are in the international league.]

I was struck by this one word.
In reality, the status of the Korean Hunters League was extremely shabby compared to the first generation of hunters on a global scale.
But my words didn’t stop there.
[Lee Chang-hyun: And again! As you all watched, I am standing here now.]
Yeah, this is a resignation letter.
I had already conquered it once, but I was eventually pushed aside by the flow of time. I was pushed aside by teammates who did not follow along properly and were of a lower level.
A declaration of intent to once again achieve the top spot.
[Lee Chang-hyun: The season in the new first division league is about to start. At least until we go to the international league.]
Ah. Why is it like this? For some reason, at moments like this, I couldn’t help but laugh.
It’s a decisive moment. Is it because I find it funny? Or is it because my blood boils?
[Lee Chang-hyun: Our team has no rivals.]
The cheers from the crowd reverberated like crazy.
Maybe this is what drives me crazy, like a drug.
If that were drugs, I’d probably be a drug addict.
I left the caster, who was dumbfounded by the tyrannical remark that lumped all the other teams together and said that their PER was below, and headed to the waiting room.
That’s all for today’s game.
***
As the interview ended, the chat window that appeared next to the video was updating at an incredible speed.
[Korea Hunters League 1st Division Promotion Match TAM vs PER]
Wow… … From the match content to the interview. I was exhausted.
LTD looks like they’re really going to shit on this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
By the way, I was honestly a bit sad during the interview. The Korean Hunters League is our festival, but when it goes out into the world, there’s nothing much to see…
But if they keep doing this and fail like a dog in the first part of the next season, it’ll be a total disaster.
Are you saying that even after watching the game today?
The response to the interview was just as explosive as the game itself.
A team from the third division that sharply criticizes the Korean Hunters League, which has been playing its own league while losing competitiveness in the international league, and boldly declares its intention?
At least in the history of the Korean Hunters League, no, in the history of the World Hunters League, this has never happened.
Besides, it wasn’t a completely far-fetched story.
Lee Chang-hyun fought right in front of us to prove that.
Even though the opponent made mistakes, he showed his overwhelming technique and suppressed them.
That’s why anyone who watched this game couldn’t help but dream after hearing Lee Chang-hyun’s words.
In the past, the era of the first generation of hunters. The return of the era when Korean hunters ruled the world, like the era when tower conquests took place.
“Ugh… … .”
Chairman Lee Geun-taek let out a deep sigh, not caring who was next to him.
“You saw it properly. You’re really something. To be honest, when we first talked, I was a bit hesitant… … You weren’t just a rookie.”
Jo Jun-ho, who was watching from the side, said.
Seeing Lee Geun-taek’s eyes redden, she smiled faintly.
“Is it that good?”
“Well then. If you say something like that, there probably won’t be a first-generation hunter in Korea who would hate it.”
In fact, it was a time in the past when the tower could be said to have been ‘conquered’. That time was the most brilliant and prestigious, but it was a little different. They were saying they would bring it back.
“You said you were going to the first division and that your goal was the international league, and you ended up succeeding.”
“And that too with an overwhelming performance in a 1 vs. 7… … ra.”
It was an achievement that was beyond recognition.
Now, it is right to see Lee Chang-hyun as being in a higher position than his own disciples whom he had raised to revive the declining Korean hunter world.
‘Have you seen the lotus flower?’
Ryu Jae-jun, who had been taught by Lee Geun-taek and Jo Jun-ho, was now with Lee Chang-hyun. Jo Yeon-hwa, who had been wandering, was soon caught up.
Recently, he has been wandering less and less, and he hasn’t even said anything about quitting the Hunter’s League… … but, unlike Ryu Jae-jun’s growth with Lee Chang-hyun, I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was a bit stagnant.
Was that why?
Jo Jun-ho spoke softly.
“I think so. Isn’t it time for us to step back now? Just look at Jaejun. He’s grown more since joining his team than we’ve taught him.”
“… … .”
“… … So let’s just watch. I have a feeling that one of those guys will make a big impact in the Korean Hunters League.”
Just like the first generation of Korean hunters, who were previously insignificant, began to rise in level and gain worldwide recognition with the appearance of one divine hunter.
Maybe. Really, the ripples caused by a small stone called Lee Chang-hyun could change the Korean Hunters League.
I had such a slightly absurd dream.
