Episode 199 Evaluation Criteria
“There’s a guy who came out of a surprisingly good team. Cha Jun-gyu… … He was in SSA last season. He was a bench member though.”
“Oh… … SSA is a team with good welfare and good team performance. It’s a bit unexpected. What happened, Changhyun?”
Well… … Actually, this is a very common situation. It’s like being ‘released’ from a team.
Perhaps you applied to other teams a lot and got rejected, so you applied to our team?
The reason he was released, of course, was because the player was below expectations.
‘But the ability is [Enchant]. I don’t know exactly, but I think I know why Joara chose it.’
I don’t know what Cha Jun-gyu’s basic skills are, but this ability alone clearly shows a lot of tactical diversity and uniqueness, so the value of the ability is quite great.
So, even considering that I was released, I tried to look at it as positively as possible, thinking about the possibility of rehabilitation… …
First. The fight with Lee Seong-tae.
“Is that all you can do with enchantments? Even your basic combat skills are so poor. Even if Yeonju fought, you’d win.”
Second. The fight with Yoon Han-gyeol.
“It seems like you barely think about it when you play the game… … I’m a bit disappointed.”
And the long-awaited third one. The fight with Kim Do-jun.
Well, I expected it… … Even if I had only known a little bit about our team before the fight with Kim Do-jun, I would have been able to get information about his fighting style in advance since it is famous.
But if it’s obvious, it’s too obvious. Cha Jun-gyu just takes the hit without Kim Do-jun having to think about it.
“Fundamentals, physicality, understanding of one’s own abilities, understanding of Hunter’s League battles. Even the basic information warfare of preparing for an opponent in advance is all lacking… … Is this a total mess?”
“Changhyun-ah. Even though he has great ability, he’s a bit… … .”
It seems that even Lee Jong-gyu, who has a low level of eye for watching games, saw it that way.
If Lee Jong-gyu, who is optimistic and always a yes-man, can say something like that, isn’t that something great in another sense?
***
When the 1-on-1 began, perhaps because he was nervous that his opponent was me, Cha Jun-gyu did not rush in first.
‘I don’t know about the other guys, but maybe it’s because I had to watch the video myself during the Hunter’s Day Awards Ceremony?’
It felt like he was much more careful than when he took the test earlier.
At that sight, instead of taking the initiative, I spoke to him.
Judging from your attitude earlier, I don’t think you’ll accept it even if I win by an overwhelming margin.
‘Let’s talk a little.’
“Come to think of it, looking at your profile, I see you were previously at SSA.”
Was it a topic he liked? Cha Jun-gyu smiled brightly at those words and answered.
“Ah. Well, you know that player Jo Ara from SSA? Jo Ara herself selected her. Since ability is ability… …even though her interpersonal skills are a bit lacking.”
It’s not just a little bit lacking, it’s just plain sloppy in the first part.
Doesn’t this guy know that being part of a great team doesn’t guarantee him anything?
No matter how bad a team you were on, or how good a team you were on, in the end, what you look at is not the team you were on, but the player himself.
It seemed like he didn’t really understand that obvious fact.
That’s why. Even so, since you still supported our team, I think it would be better to speak to you sternly.
“You entered SSA because you were good at something… … It definitely says that on your profile. But have you ever thought about why you were released so quickly?”
“What?”
The answer is simple. They chose him based on only his abilities, but they must have thought that other things would be basic as well.
But since even that basic thing wasn’t done, it must have been thrown away again.
“Since you don’t seem to know, I’ll tell you.”
I created a sword using [Magic Engineering Weapon Conversion].
“A fight with Lee Seong-tae, a specialist and technician in spearmanship.”
And then, as if rushing in, he pushed Cha Jun-gyu with quick footwork.
As expected, there were many gaps in the gesture used to block the sword.
“Lee Seong-tae is a player who not only has sharp spear skills, but also knows how to persistently exploit his weaknesses to his advantage. How will he deal with such persistent attacks on his weaknesses? The purpose of the first 1-on-1 is to see that.”
It wasn’t a fast pace either. He slowed down considerably and the sword reached Cha Jun-gyu’s Adam’s Apple with a leisurely touch.
But the test did not end like this.
“A fight with Yoon Han-gyeol, a swordsman with a special advantage in one-on-one battles.”
This time, I used [Magic Engineering Weapon Conversion] to create several fencing swords of minimal size, and scattered them on the floor.
As if imitating Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s techniques.
“Actually, this is more similar to being attacked by multiple opponents than a 1v1. So. In this 1v1, how do you deal with being surrounded and attacked by multiple enemies? That’s the purpose of the second 1v1.”
He quickly moved the swords scattered on the floor using his mana equipment, and blew them away one by one as if dancing, while at the same time directly striking Cha Jun-gyu with the sword he was holding.
Of course, I didn’t hit it properly even once on purpose. However, all those stabbing attacks just passed by Cha Jun-gyu.
Long scars from the fencing sword were drawn all over his body, including his cheeks.
“And lastly.”
It was also the one-on-one test that the guy had the most trouble with.
“A fight with Kim Do-jun, who exploits irregular situations and weaknesses through equipment.”
There’s no need to show this directly.
“No matter how strong a player is, if they are weak to variables, they can be swayed by the opponent’s preparation and irregularities. That’s why it’s important to study and learn about the opponent. Or, if not, to see the ability to respond to a crisis situation, quickness, and flexibility. That’s the third purpose of 1-on-1.”
But that guy didn’t study his opponents or prepare for them. Nor did he have outstanding basic variable response skills.
The last converted signature weapon.
I was aiming my pistol at the head of Cha Jun-gyu, who was completely subdued.
“Do you now understand the intent and evaluation criteria of the test that you called nonsense?”
The guy couldn’t continue speaking. He made a humiliated expression and ran out of PER’s home in a hurry.
It seemed that he had a good understanding of his own shortcomings.
So I tell Jun-gyu Cha, who doesn’t accept the test results, and come out…
Seohyun Lee, who had been called in separately to tell me that she had passed, was looking at me with wide eyes.

My life as a bench member in Part 1 was quite long.
The games you can play are very limited depending on your strategy.
[Dimension Gate] Although the ability was truly unique and powerful, it wasn’t easy to frequently participate in matches in Part 1 with just that ability.
So as this transfer season approaches, there is one thing that is most important to me when looking for a team.
‘First of all, if there are fewer players, you can be guaranteed a lot of playing time, right…? And if possible, it would be better if it’s a new team or a team that’s changing a bit. If you join a team that hasn’t yet secured its place, you can be guaranteed that more.’
However, the Hunters League Division 1 is, to put it simply, a stalemate. The list of Division 1 teams and their names have not changed for several years.
This season was a sudden change in that situation.
There was an upset in the promotion/relegation battle, and there was a change in the list of teams in the first division.
When I heard that they were openly recruiting team members there, I hurriedly applied. I didn’t want to just sit on the bench like I am now, and be used as a tool to create [Dimensional Gates] only when certain tactics are used.
It was with that thought in mind that I came to take the test today.
“Wow… … I didn’t expect much from facilities since it’s new. Why is it so flashy? This is ridiculous~ It’s really great.”
Of course, I don’t know if I can get in or not. But I have some experience in the first division, so I think it’ll be okay. That’s what I thought until then.
And of course, the home was just as great on the inside as it was on the outside.
The test started at the place where they were guided, and it was a 1-on-1 test. Those who had already finished the test and came out could go in and watch the tests being conducted inside after the people in the next turn. Lee Seo-hyun’s turn was last.
There was nothing else besides the information that it was one-on-one and that there were three chances.
And the actual test that came my turn was much more difficult than I expected.
‘This is a team that just got promoted to Division 1?’
Not only was he outstanding in combat, he was also skilled in irregularities. Since the test was a 1-on-1 match, it was a difficult test for Lee Seo-hyun, a non-combatant.
It was also an unavoidable part.
No matter how much you held out through the dimensional gate, set up traps, and escaped, there seemed to be almost no way to win.
‘I guess they’re trying to select someone with excellent interpersonal skills… … .’
It was a shame. They were a team with good facilities and a pretty good view.
The intention of the test, which was prepared for meticulous evaluation criteria, was also evident everywhere.
Why did you put all the different people in 1v1 matches? And what was the intention behind evaluating it?
So I wasn’t expecting it.
I didn’t expect to be chosen like this. But the unexpected situation didn’t end there.
There was an applicant who was not satisfied with the result.
And by explaining the purpose of each test one by one, they guide students to accept the results… …
My hands were clenched with strength.
‘I saw a lot more than I thought.’
As far as I know, he’s a hunter who just entered the first part. I was amazed at how he could have such insight and observation skills.
On the other hand, my desire to learn also began to boil over.
Even though my only outstanding ability is [Dimension Gate], I thought that if I learned from someone like that, wouldn’t I be able to hone my own weapon?
So, instead of being a player who rots away on the bench and is only occasionally used, he plays in the games often… …
But I have to ask you this one thing.
“That… … club owner. I know it’s weird to say this after you chose me, but I don’t think I did very well on the evaluation criteria you mentioned. Why did you choose me?”
The way he calmly and coolly questioned each and every applicant while raising his voice was dignified and a little overwhelming.
Still, I had to ask this.
If you only see the utility of [Dimensional Gate] as a tool and plan to use it only occasionally and leave it on the bench, then it would be a problem.
“It’s simple. First of all, it’s because of the [Dimensional Gate].”
‘… … .’
[Dimension Gate] The ability is also a part of my abilities, but it would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel sorry. I was thinking about whether I should negotiate a clause guaranteeing the number of appearances in the contract terms.
“But that’s not all. The ability to utilize the ability to use [Dimensional Gate] to draw in opponents and create traps on the spot, which was shown in the first battle with Isungtae.
And the ability to run away from Yoon Han-gyeol, who is overwhelmingly pushing forward, while also being able to make the decision to run away by understanding one’s own positional characteristics and strength.
Even if Kim Do-jun attacks irregularly, he has already prepared a method of response through learning about his opponent… … .”
Lee Chang-hyun’s detailed praise continued. Was he looking at it this closely?
“Because it’s great overall. Simple power struggles aren’t important at all. The potential for growth in ability is also limitless.”
I thought maybe he was a little touched.
Of course, Seohyun Lee didn’t know more than half of Changhyun Lee’s true feelings.
‘How about human ability [Dimensional Gate]? If you have this, you can change the bomber strategy in a ridiculous way… … and the tactic of Ryu Jae-jun and I rushing in with [Wave] and a dual-pistol barrage and then retreating like guerrillas. I don’t know yet, but if something large can be moved at once, the entire ‘Space Defense Strategy’ formation can be moved… … .’
You probably never thought that you would be drooling at the thought of adding Lee Seo-hyun to your team, thinking that it would make all sorts of crazy tactics possible again.
But, what’s good is good, right?
