Episode 212 Identity
Of course it was a joke, but when I received a text message from judge Lee Min-seok, no, my senior, I felt a genuine sense of crisis.
[Lee Min-seok]: Chang-hyeon, lol. Then why did you hit those people with your fists?
I didn’t mean it seriously, I was just joking around to have some humor. If an outsider were to see this kind of joke…
It’s normal to suspect that there is a fairly high possibility of that happening.
First of all, I thought it would be a good idea to put this controversy to rest until the top-ranked players in the actual ranked matches start competing against each other.
But there was a problem here.
‘how?’
To be honest, I thought that since I used strong words in the interview, no one would doubt me. That was too naive.
A more certain method had to be sought.
‘A sure way… … .’
But now, while they’re tracking my movements, every time a masked ranked user appears in a ranked match, they’re looking for an alibi for what my movements were like. What’s certain is that the two of them don’t appear at the same time…
But how can you show them at the same time when they are the same person?
‘They’re showing up at the same time… …?’
When I thought about it, I thought it might be possible. It was the [Clone] ability that Lee Gil-han used in the last match…
No, I thought about it and it seemed like that ability wouldn’t work.
Simply showing your face might reduce suspicion for a while, but wouldn’t it be better to do it more definitely and block the suspicion from the beginning?
If so, then at least I should have been able to act ‘like myself’ in front of other people.
“So… … whatever the circumstances, you’re the uneducated, ungraceful, back-alley thug who beats up that guy, and you’re the ugly, questionable, masked, ranked match ranker?”
Kim Do-jun asked with his eyes shining brightly.
It was dizzying to hear such words from Kim Do-jun, not someone else. I don’t think he ever said something that harsh. Maybe.
“What you have to do is simple. Just pull the aggro. It’s something you usually do, so it won’t be difficult, right?”
“okay?”
Kim Do-jun asked back in a cheeky manner.
The reason I’m telling this to Kim Do-jun is simple. Unlike my clone, I want someone who can interact naturally, like talking to other people. Someone who can transform into my appearance.
‘I never thought that Kim Do-jun would practice imitating me by modifying the Invisible Clock in the Palace of Dreams a while ago, and that it would come in handy now… … .’
That was something Kim Do-jun already had experience with.
Of course, since this was a personal request to Kim Do-jun, he didn’t respond lightly.
Naturally, it seemed like he wanted something.
“In return, I will grant you what you want.”
Kim Do-jun smiled brightly. For a moment, I wondered if this was right, but I couldn’t help it. In order to overcome this crisis, if I could get Kim Do-jun’s help, that would be the best.
“It’s nothing special… … So while you’re wearing a mask and playing in ranked matches, I’ll be imitating you?”
“yes?”
“I wish you would give me some freedom in that… … .”
Be free… …
It wasn’t easy to figure out Kim Do-jun’s intentions. I did wonder, “What on earth is he trying to do?” Well, he’s on the same team, and he’s a teammate I have to see all the time, and he’s the team’s coach and the team owner.
I won’t do anything ridiculous. I thought that it wouldn’t matter since I would be returning to my original role, except for the brief period of time I would be playing ranked matches.
“Yeah. Since I have to do my part for a little while anyway, I thought I would need that much freedom. If you need anything else, just let me know.”
I hadn’t even thought about it until then.
I thought that Kim Do-jun pretending to be me would have a huge impact.

Interest is good. To be honest, I think all Hunters League players are just spectators.
Everyone just reveals it to different degrees.
‘So, what are you going to say to me, Changhyun? … You were enjoying this all by yourself?’
The match in the Palace of Dreams that took place in Part 2. I used the same strategy I used back then, modifying the Invisible Cloak to disguise myself as Lee Chang-hyun.
The voice was adjusted using a voice modulation machine.
Fortunately, Lee Chang-hyun and I are similar in height.
After preparations were complete, I checked that Lee Chang-hyun had started the ranked match. As if a model was walking on a fashion show, I walked to where the PER team members were.
It seemed as if I could sense at a glance that all eyes were focused on me.
‘It’s always exciting. It’s new.’
At my word, reporters who lived and died were right in front of me. Is this the life of Lee Chang-hyun, the owner, captain, and coach of PER?
‘I might become addicted.’
Lee Chang-hyun doesn’t smile much, so he has to control his facial expressions, but the corners of his mouth keep going up. While he was walking, he got so nervous that he bumped into a little girl.
It was good anyway.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
It seems like the reporters have really noticed my appearance, and they all call out my name and ask for interviews. It’s a desirable sight.
But the main character is definitely me. I guess I need to remind you once again that I have the initiative.
“quiet.”
“You have too many questions, I can’t answer them.”
With just two words, everyone stopped talking and waited for the moment when my lips would move.
‘Is this the feel of a top class player?’
Honestly, it was so much fun. I want to keep doing it, if possible.
But since I’m helping Chang-Hyeon, I have to say what I have to say anyway.
“First of all, I believe most of the doubts were actually answered during the last MVP interview.”
What Lee Chang-hyun asked me to do on his behalf was ultimately something like this.
He asked that while he was playing ranked matches wearing a mask, he use his mana equipment and voice changer to pretend to be himself and dispel suspicion.
So, actually, I guess we can end it here… …
When I actually started doing it, it was so much fun.

These people are all fans in their own right, and they write articles to show to their fans. I thought, “Can’t we provide a little more service?”
And it goes without saying what those people were most looking forward to.
‘A 1-on-1 battle between a mysterious masked ranker and Lee Chang-hyun!’
Lee Chang-hyun, who started the fight with trash talk, soon made the challenge himself.
And if this really comes to fruition, it will attract attention from all over the place and will also be a significant boost to the team’s PER.
… … Of course, what Lee Chang-hyun asked was simply to ask him to put his doubts to rest.
“As a way of proving my point, and to prove my point, I propose a 1-on-1 match with ranked match rules to the masked ranked match participant.”
Everyone is looking at my mouth and wanting to hear it, so isn’t it common sense to say something like this?
‘I’m sorry! Lee Chang-hyun!’
If it really happens, Kim Do-jun himself will pretend to be Lee Chang-hyun and have a ranked match with him anyway.
Thinking like that, Kim Do-jun took off Lee Chang-hyun’s mask and spoke.
The reaction was, unsurprisingly, explosive.
The reporters were quickly copying down the bombshell statement into their laptops, and the PER team members who were listening from the side also looked a little surprised.
“Brother Chang-Hyeon. But that guy… … is pretty good. I think you should never let your guard down.”
Lee Jeong-hoon sends a message of concern, wondering if he highly regards Lee Chang-hyun, who fights wearing a mask and no weapons.
“What do you mean, let your guard down? There must be a difference in class. You’re going to show it, right?”
And even Yoon Han-gyeol, who tells us that he firmly trusts Lee Chang-hyun.
I didn’t feel bad.
But then I suddenly thought about it and a question occurred to me.
‘If me pretending to be Lee Chang-hyun and Lee Chang-hyun wearing a mask were to have a real 1-on-1 fight… who would win?’
Of course, if they fight with their own strength, it would be Kim Do-jun who would lose… … But in that case, Lee Chang-hyun would be looked down on as a guy who only fights and become the one who loses.
But if I, pretending to be Lee Chang-hyun, were to win, the reputation of the mysterious masked ranker, who is currently on the rise, would be damaged.
‘I don’t know. Lee Chang-hyun will figure it out.’
***
Over 4,000 points, now 4,500 points are just around the corner.
At this point, it was safe to say that everyone was a specialist in interpersonal combat. Up until now, it was pretty dangerous.
“I never thought I’d be able to use mana equipment like this… … .”
Even before the return, there were people who had never experienced anything like this before, and who modified and used mana equipment they had never seen before.
This is a battlefield where you can hone your 1v1 skills to the max and come into contact with a variety of weapons that are hard to come by.
“but…….”
The true value of a hunter is responding to such irregularities.
[Piercing Eyes] was used in an instant to grasp the nature of the opponent’s attack.
‘Did you create a trap by twisting the method of creating a shape with mana, like a mana shield?’
And once you understand its essence, the response will follow.
Spreads mana dust that scatters mana, and destroys the solid mana array. Strikes the spot where the mana shield was.
It’s a bonus to add acceleration by placing an airbeat on the trajectory of the swinging elbow.
Kwajik – !
The sound of something breaking. And with it the whistle announcing victory rang out.
Beep -!
By the way, I can definitely feel that things are getting tougher now. It’s like using mana equipment in an irregular way. Everyone’s basic abilities are outstanding.
‘It’s only natural since the scores are only a few points different from those of the top players… … .’
Come to think of it, I think I said that Kang Jun-hyeok’s score was around 4900 points. What’s unfortunate is that I think I said he rarely plays ranked matches.
I thought it would be pretty fun if we could stick together.
Besides that, Yoon Han-gyeol will soon reach a similar score… …
The scores of Jo Ara, who faced off as a judge in the past, and Jin Su-hyeok, who is currently ranked first in Korea’s ranked matches, have also become close.
Now, I’m starting to think that just winning might be impossible.
As I said in the last MVP interview, it was quite disadvantageous to beat an opponent without a weapon.
‘But I can’t just give up like that, so I’ll have to research a lot of methods. Like using mana equipment. Or at least using weapons other than guns… ‘
My worries have deepened. I wonder if it is a bit strange to use weapons again now.
By the way, I revealed my identity only to Kim Do-jun and left it up to him to act like me. I wondered if he was doing a good job.
Well, I guess I’m used to Kim Do-jun now, so I don’t think I’ll be surprised by anything he does.
Because his actions are so obvious, I feel like I can now read exactly what he will do in any situation.
With that thought in mind, I finished the ranked match and went out to the waiting room.
There were a lot more reporters waiting at the entrance than usual.
He’s been refusing interviews and answering questions, so there haven’t been many reporters coming to him so far?
The reason became clear immediately.
Because the first question the reporters asked told me right away what was going on.
“Lee Chang-hyun has proposed a 1-on-1 match. Are you willing to accept it?”
“Last time, Lee Chang-hyun said during the NGU match that he was a ruffian who would beat up people with his fists. Do you have anything to say in rebuttal to that?”
“Because of Park Joo-han’s remarks, there have been frequent comparisons between Lee Chang-hyun and Park Joo-han in terms of brute force. If you compare Lee Chang-hyun and Park Joo-han according to the ranked match rules, who do you think is stronger?”
The reporters’ questions flooded in.
