Episode 185: Forgotten
“I understand your intentions, but kids are still kids. Aren’t you taking it too lightly that half of them were undefeated players in the third division until recently? They also lack experience.”
Lee Jong-gyu said while watching the match between PER and RQM.
The game was definitely going to be a close one.
At first, it felt like it was going to be a bit of a grind, but as it went on, I felt like it was getting more intense.
“Um… … There are definitely still many areas where we are lacking. We lack the sense to help each other with our movements, and there are many cases where we stumble when trying to do something together. But I think we learned this one thing well, right?”
The situation is such that PER’s vanguard is pushed back and it looks like the main force will soon lose unilaterally.
But Ryu Jae-jun’s confident smile was clearly visible.
“That’s how to win the game.”
Ryu Jae-jun is also preparing so that it is not easily visible to those watching the game.
“Because, even though we were a 3rd division team before or whatever, we kept winning after I came in.”
Even if you don’t want to learn, if you think about it carefully, you will inevitably remember it.
Because I filled the empty spaces.
Now, even if I want to forget, I won’t be able to.
***
Victory was just around the corner.
The abilities of PER’s supporters are quite annoying, but it’s obvious that their fighting abilities aren’t that great.
If even one of the vanguards is knocked down and breached, this precarious balance will collapse. The crack thus created will be large enough to end this match.
“I’ll break through this time.”
RQM’s argument was whispered softly into the earphones.
The vanguard holding PER’s shield. His shield had cracks formed from the continuous concentrated attacks.
You probably haven’t noticed yet the cracks that were created by deliberately alternating between fire and ice attributes on the arrows.
‘Even if you noticed, it doesn’t matter.’
Even if that doesn’t work out, we’ve solidified our chances of victory to a certain extent, to the point where we can just charge forward.
No matter how attractive the ability is, a supporter who cannot cover mobility by reading and predicting the movements of the team’s melee dealers and throwing airbeats will inevitably be different from the team that has such a supporter.
‘And this is the difference in teamwork and experience as a team. So, don’t be too upset if you lose.’
RQM’s captain, who thought he had seized the opportunity, finally shouted.
“now!”
PER’s guy once again blocked the arrows flying towards the guy who was swinging his shining sword with the same shield. But at the same time, the shield was splitting apart.
“… … !”
Melee dealers rushing towards the guy whose shield is being split at the same time.
Everything is going well. Yes. This is the strength and identity that RQM has built up so far.
Hunters League is ultimately a 7v7 team game. Can you do something for each other? Do you know each other well? Can you work together with one mind and one tactic?
Depending on that, even if the ability is insignificant, the ripple effect becomes exponentially stronger.
The power of that detail will determine the outcome now.
The moment I thought that.
The face of the guy placing the order at PER was clearly visible from the other side.
‘Are you laughing?’
At this moment?
It was a meaningful expression that made me wonder if I had missed something for a moment.
But, there’s no way that could happen.
That guy didn’t move, so I focused on his movements while only concentrating on the order, even though it was RQM’s claim that he was planning something on purpose.
There couldn’t be anything I didn’t know.
Unless something happens to the rookie who goes to fight 1v1 without knowing where they are fighting.
… … That was the moment I thought that.
The moment when the shield bearer is about to be eaten by the broken shield.
I remembered the guy who was just silently placing orders at PER.
‘It seems like they know that if they push back against that vanguard, the situation will be ruined, so they are trying to intervene now, but I cannot tolerate that.’
He flies in with an air anchor to block the path so the guy can’t save the shield bearer.
What happened was completely unexpected.
The guy didn’t go to the shield bearer.
We reached RQM, beyond the shield holders. Our arrows pierced through and we were in the middle of the team’s camp.
‘You used the ability called [Wave]. You were timing it. But there’s no way our team didn’t think of a way to overcome it… ‘
“Everyone, prepare for [the wave]!”
A strong vibration swept through the battlefield.
Fortunately, perhaps because I had prepared my abilities for defense in advance, I was able to get through even the strongest waves without any shock…
“?!”
“The bridge of the empire… …!”
***
If you think about it, that guy has been emphasizing winning situations since our first meeting. Emphasizing the talent of ability, the limitations of teammates’ abilities, and the limited battles based on the map.
“The Hunters League is one where situations where you are clearly forced into a disadvantageous situation are bound to arise.”
Saying this.
And actually, there were many such cases in Lee Chang-hyun’s games.
Looking back now, the guy’s behavior was a bit predictable.
Every time I was in that situation, I would just smash it, whether it was the map or the situation.
Even if it becomes a complete mess.
“Kim Yu-hyeon. You worked hard. You pretended to be a turret shooter, but you only shot at vulnerable points for dozens of minutes to destroy the bridge.”
Yes, I thought that Lee Chang-hyun’s aesthetic was destruction.

‘I don’t know how much they foresaw it, but the harder it is to break, the less the opponent expects it, so the greater the effect.’
I definitely thought that it was a perfect fit for the current situation.
An incredibly wide and thick bridge that is closer to a ‘road’ than a ‘bridge’.
To break this thing, unless you can shoot something ridiculously stupid like Ethan, you’ll have to focus on destroying the legs for dozens of minutes.
But if I only had ‘Kim Yu-Hyeon’s Turret’ and my [Wave] to be used as a destroying trigger.
There was no way it wouldn’t work.
That unimaginable, outrageous, and outrageous act wasn’t impossible.
As you can see, it’s now a reality.
Of course, the ripple effect was weaker than expected.
“Ugh… … I never thought I’d do something so crazy as to destroy the [Imperial Bridge]. I didn’t know I’d destroy this thick bridge, but even if I did, did I really think I’d be able to become a Part 1 Hunter and fall like this?”
Yes. By the time you reach Part 1 Hunter, no matter how low your team’s level is, there’s no way you wouldn’t be able to handle Airbit or Air Anchor properly.
Moreover, since the RQMs had been predicting each other’s movement paths and laying airbeats while they were engaged in combat up until now, there was no way they would crash just because the bridge collapsed.
“Yes, that’s true. But there’s no way I could forget that, having learned it from Chairman Lee Geun-taek.”
Because the basics of a hunter are to anticipate all situations.
If we turn the table around while thinking of Lee Chang-hyun’s method.
The final result would be Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s meticulousness in taking everything into account.
“Han Ji-soo. You know, right?”
Normally, Han Ji-soo’s gravity ability wasn’t that strong. When he became a hunter in the first league, his physical ability was also strong, so there were many people who could overcome it and be active.
It may just dull your body.
What if there is no bottom?
The only thing that supports the body is the air anchor, and the air bit that causes the rebound.
So what if the basic physical abilities of the first-class hunters are good?
It’s not like they’re stepping up and climbing up on their own strength.
“Then~ I wonder if there’s a guy in this situation who says, “I don’t know~”?”
It doesn’t really matter how strong their muscles can be.
Han Ji-soo’s gravity power crushed the people falling between the collapsed bridges.
RQM’s players were either falling to bottomless depths or barely hanging on to fixed air anchors.
Of course, it was easy to deal with those guys hanging on the air anchors and sagging to the ground due to gravity.
Lee Yeon-joo’s cover. [Bondage] It wasn’t just Lee Gil-han and Kim Do-jun floating in the air together.
The turrets summoned by Kim Yu-hyeon were also suspended in the air by Lee Yeon-ju’s [Binding] belt. Unavoidable shots were fired one after another.
The main force’s fight will end here completely.
Lee Chang-hyun’s usual fight. Yes, Ryu Jae-jun seemed to feel addicted to directing this gambling game that was a tightrope walk between success and failure.
***
Attempting to change the situation by crushing an unfavorable battlefield.
It was definitely one of my go-to techniques.
‘If you think about Ryu Jae-jun’s original personality… … He must have thought of using Kim Yu-hyeon to endure and stage a sit-in, having learned from that petty Lee Geun-taek.’
It seemed like he had read my intentions correctly when he took this game.
Of course, the results were quite successful.
‘Actually, if I were Ryu Jae-jun in that game, I don’t think I would have used such an extreme method… … .’
[Imperial Bridge] was a battlefield that took a lot of time and energy to destroy.
But it was definitely not a bad direction.
It also had the advantage of being difficult for the opponent to predict.
“What do you think? Coach Lee Jong-gyu. The 3rd division win is a story from a long time ago, so I tell the kids about it.”
Lee Jong-gyu opened his mouth wide and was unable to answer.
And then, after barely coming to his senses, he says:
“Oh… the kids are starting to take after you. They just keep destroying everything.”
You’re starting to resemble me… … So you’re destroying everything?
The expression was so destructive that even I was left speechless for a moment.
“By the way, why are they so vicious?”
“Is that it?”
“Then isn’t that evil? When the kids who were falling try to crawl back up, you just shoot off the hand that’s holding the air anchor, and you’re just laughing while holding them down with gravity?”
Hmm… … Certainly, looking at it this way, it does look a bit vicious.
I feel like a villain.
With citizens trying to survive in a collapsing building.
Because I thought it was a villain-like structure that wouldn’t forgive any of the citizens for surviving.
“I’ve been struggling and being pushed around, but this is the last blow, so can you forgive me for that much?”
Of course, it was just a joke anyway.
Well then, is this the end?
I thought it was a pretty successful practice game.
We won, and more than anything, our team members also grew through this match.
That they beat a 9th place team in the first division without me.
This alone was quite satisfying.
“Um… … But, why do I keep feeling like I’m missing something?”
“That’s right. Why aren’t they coming out even though the game is over?”
The opposing RQM team members were all knocked out. Although some of the PER team members suffered significant damage, they were all clearly alive.
If this happens, won’t the game automatically end and all the kids have to come out?
What did I miss? That moment of thinking.
Lee Jong-gyu spoke first.
“Ah… …! So what happened to Han-gyeol?”
I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten about Yoon Han-gyeol, who I had thought would be a 1-on-1 specialist who could take on one enemy and reduce their numbers.
