Episode 184 The Moment of Rebirth
‘Now… … it’s time to choose. What are you going to do?’
In my opinion, Yoon Han-gyeol already knew.
Or, even if you didn’t know it, you were acting that way.
As expected of a crazy guy who runs his own fan cafe, he was very accurately predicting and carrying out the orders I would have given.
The problem was the other side. Could the rest of the guys do it?
While watching the game, wondering about his whereabouts, Lee Jong-gyu opened his mouth.
“But is it really necessary to do this? If you just keep fighting, you’ll gain more experience and get better at it. As for your orders… … It would be nice if you could think for yourself. I’ve already told you the overall direction.”
Yes, that’s true. That’s definitely been the case up until now.
but……
“For now, they just follow orders, but as the players grow, they each develop their own style of play, their own hunter, and their own view of battle. It’s really difficult to achieve complete order unification when all those people come together as a team and all think the same way and move as one.
But at the same time, it is also really important for the team to become a better team, to become ‘one team.’”
Lee Jong-gyu tilted his head as if he still didn’t quite understand.
Sure, it might seem a little excessive.
But this was clearly necessary.
“People learn from the past. It’s a kind of feedback.”
Lee Jong-gyu, who doesn’t know that I have regressed, has never been defeated because of a split in PER or a different fighter.
He was looking at me with an expression that said he didn’t understand English.
Me watching the game with a bitter smile.

“Jaejun. It seems like everyone’s joining in now. Are you going to support Han-gyeol? Or to the opposing main force?”
Starting a game is like starting a war. I had to try not to let my worries drag on for too long.
But the worries did not end easily.
“What would you have done if it was Lee Chang-hyun? If it was the usual guy… …?”
It felt like my mind had gone blank. Of course, it was a thought I had never had before.
So, I’m struggling and can’t make a decision.
“Don’t worry too much… …. Yoon Han-gyeol is doing whatever he wants. It’s just a practice match after all.”
Could it be the effect of dyeing her hair? This was what Lee Yeon-joo had been saying, as she seemed to be getting more and more active than before.
‘Yoon Han-gyeol… …does whatever he wants?’
Lee Yeon-ju’s one word led to thoughts about Yoon Han-gyeol.
The person who can read Lee Chang-hyun’s thoughts the best is probably Yoon Han-gyeol.
Although he was a laughing stock in the team, the one who observed Lee Chang-hyun’s play most sincerely was Yoon Han-gyeol.
That’s because he does weird things like creating fan cafes.
So, Yoon Han-gyeol’s choice probably wasn’t much different from the order Lee Chang-hyun gave.
So what would Lee Chang-hyun, who was leading the main force at this point, have done?
“… … .”
The events that happened after I joined this team flashed before my eyes.
How did you get into this team?
How did Lee Chang-hyun usually give orders?
What did you do in a crisis situation?
The thoughts that followed soon stopped at one point.
Lee Chang-hyun’s words seemed to echo in my head.
“Do you now realize that the Hunters League is pretty much decided by the time the match starts?”
Something the guy must have said once.
“Of course, it’s our team’s victory. The reason is that I only fight in situations that ultimately lead this team to victory.”
Fight only when you can win.
Yeah. If you think about it, it was something that went around and around.
I was just wondering how to implement this. The final goal came back as this simple, yet absurd statement.
I closed my eyes and quickly took in the situation again.
1v1 and the situation of the main units of each side that have not yet engaged in combat.
What tactics should be employed?
PER doesn’t have ace striker Lee Chang-hyun. Even Yoon Han-gyeol, who is second only to him in terms of fighting power, isn’t in the main force.
Instead, there was Kim Do-jun, who was often substituted as the sixth man in Lee Chang-hyun’s place and was good at creating variables. And there was Kim Yu-hyeon, who was good at defensive strategies with [Fortification].
Meanwhile, the map is [Imperial Bridge], which has a huge bridge that induces large-scale team fights.
The equation for victory is to complete the winning situation with the materials you have and then fight.
‘Ahhh… … Is this it? Is this how Lee Chang-hyun was looking at the game?’
I found myself smiling without even realizing it.
Slowly. Thinking about it one by one, surprisingly, it wasn’t that difficult to figure out what Lee Chang-hyun would have done.
I hadn’t realized it until now, but Lee Chang-hyun was always telling the PER team members how to win.
***
Meanwhile, RQM.
“So that guy really went off alone?”
“Huh… … That’s right. I guess he’s just trying to show off because he’s a player from a top-tier team or something.”
RQM’s argument was that since the map was [Imperial Bridge], he gave the order to join up in preparation for a team fight, but he was cursing the player who ran out alone regardless of the join up.
That would be the case, since an outsider who participated in a practice match to try to fit in with the team was so uncooperative.
It’s not that I don’t understand the circumstances, but I can’t help but think it’s really rude.
“… … But you don’t have to worry too much.”
“If things continue like this, it’ll be a 7 vs 6 fight. What does that mean?”

“Because one of the other side’s people fell over there too.”
A RQM team member who was quietly looking through something like binoculars said:
“And… … I guess the opponent was thinking of a 6v6 team fight, they’re all waiting on the bridge.”
“Ha… … I wonder if this is a good thing or not. By the way, that famous Lee Chang-hyun hasn’t even shown up yet, and he just came up on the first episode and is really arrogant and wants to have a fight?”
RQM’s argument was that there was no choice but to click one’s tongue.
Even if they were a team that was in the lower ranks of the Hunters League Division 1, the fact that they had the power to survive in Division 1 meant that they had a sharp sword that could sufficiently stab the teams above them.
And RQM’s sword was its strong teamwork and the powerful team fighting ability that came with it.
But even though the map is called [Imperial Bridge], they confidently challenge you to a team fight.
I can’t help but feel a little bit embarrassed.
“Don’t be proud. This team had a decent record in the second division.”
RQM carefully prepared to rush in.
***
As far as Ryu Jae-jun knows, [Imperial Bridge] is an honest battlefield with almost no special relics and no neutral monsters at all.
A simple map in a world where even the topographical features are such that unless you completely go off the beaten path, the battles will eventually take place on the gigantic [Imperial Bridge].
That’s why the most common type of combat on this map was pure team-vs-team brute force.
No, it’s not just the combat pattern that’s like that, but it’s more correct to see it as a map that forces you to engage in such combat.
‘In the end, it’s a map where you can’t avoid team fights.’
It was a disadvantageous map for PER, who had lost their most important driving force, Lee Chang-hyun, but there was no other way, at least for now.
Was the other person aware of that too?
“Those guys… are here too.”
RQM’s team members were seen at a close enough location that Lee Yeon-ju didn’t even need to say anything. It was a 6 vs. 6 standoff like this.
It was Kim Do-jun and Lee Gil-han’s job to announce the start of the battle.
‘Originally, we should have used Yoon Han-gyeol as a three-top… … .’
The other side also lost one person, so we’ll have to take some consolation in that.
Besides, Kim Do-jun is always a difficult guy to deal with, so I can’t help but believe that he’ll create a variable… … !
“Watch out for that guy’s sword!!”
Of course, all of that information was known. As Kim Do-jun rushed in, the opposing team distanced themselves and the mid-range dealers fired restraining shots.
An arrow flying from the opposing side split into four and aimed for Kim Do-jun in an instant.
Ting -.
Gilhan Lee, who was running towards them, successfully deflected the attack with the shield technique he had been honing.
And the moment Lee Gil-han lowers his shield.
Kim Do-jun was seen raising his sword as if he was lifting a holy fire.
Flash -.
‘I don’t know if it’ll be okay… … .’
First of all, we succeeded in attracting the enemy’s attention and infiltrating them. However, the enemy’s formation did not collapse, and instead, we went on the offensive.
“Jun-ah, Hyung-woo.”
“okay.”
It was RQM, which had been keeping a close watch and keeping the distance, that launched a joint attack.
Arrows rain down on Kim Do-jun, who dug in first like a special force.
Up until then, it would have been fine if Lee Gil-han had blocked it again, but the problem was that this time, it wasn’t just the arrows that were flying.
RQM, who calculated each other’s path by laying airbeats for each other and breathing as one body, instantly drove the team’s melee dealers towards Kim Do-jun and Lee Gil-han.
The point where the arrow hit the target. That was exactly where RQM’s sword hit at the same time.
A situation that cannot be stopped at once.
At that time, fortunately, a helping hand was extended from PER as well.
Woof woof. Thump thump thump!
Kim Yu-Hyeon’s [Fortification]. The turret installation was completed, and the enemy’s approach was blocked with suppressive fire.
“Phew… … I took a breather.”
Kim Do-jun turned his head and smiled faintly along with Tta-bong.
‘Anyway, he’s a guy who lacks tension. I think I understand why Lee Chang-hyun always harasses Kim Do-jun… ‘
Anyway, after Kim Yu-Hyeon’s [Fortification] was activated, the battlefield changed considerably.
Although it takes a long time to prepare, once it’s done, it’s Kim Yu-Hyeon’s ability that guarantees firepower for several people. It’s a huge relief for the vanguard.
but……
As the battle became longer and more protracted, it seemed more likely that PER would lose.
RQM’s long-range dealer throws airbits at the melee dealer’s desired movement path as if they already know each other’s movements.
And even a close range dealer who shows off his anomaly by stepping on the airbeat, bouncing off, and flying around to attack.
It was simply a matter of breathing and fundamentals.
RQM, which had been moving as one body, taking its time for a long time, was winning the battle with its strength in teamwork.
“Ugh… … If only Chang-Hyeon had been here.”
In addition, PER is in a situation where there is no decisive striker who can stop the opponent from breathing if he inflicts damage.
No matter how much Kim Do-jun cut someone down or how much Kim Yu-hyeon fired a restraining shot, there was no one to finish them off.
It was a lack of attack power.
The opposing team must have thought they had almost won, because they laughed at that sight.
“Who told you to leave the team ace behind?”
As it was the law of the loser to remain silent, no one from PER responded.
In fact, Han Ji-soo and Lee Yeon-joo’s cover. Even with Kim Yu-hyeon’s [Fortification], this match was lacking in terms of teamwork and organic fighting ability among team members.
but.
‘It looks like we’re almost ready… … .’
There was absolutely no need to feel frustrated because you were pushed back by your opponent’s strengths on a battlefield where your opponent had an advantage.
Because Lee Chang-hyun always turned around in those situations.
Yes, Lee Chang-hyun would definitely have done this.
A battlefield you can’t win on. If that’s what the situation requires.
“We need to turn the tables.”
Why did Lee Chang-hyun always smile whenever the game got dangerously close to defeat?
I thought I could understand.
At this very moment, Ryu Jae-jun was smiling secretly without even realizing it.
