022. Small changes
Not a very tall person. I’ve often heard people say that I act a bit like a gangster.
Still, whatever. I was pretty good at taking care of my work.
Then one day, a guy appeared who threatened my position.
That was the guy I met at [Hunters, The next generation], where I participated at the Academy level.
‘Lee Chang-hyun’
At first, I didn’t even know he existed. It wasn’t until we both rose to 5th place in the survival game that I thought there was such a guy.
But while watching the broadcast, my thoughts tended to be more negative.
“This program? There is no one above me. Isn’t it absurd to compare me to these amateurs?”
I think I said something along the lines of: That guy I saw in the broadcast interview was really shameless.
Even though I only managed to get 5th place in the survival game, it was largely thanks to the hidden piece, ‘Ether’, and yet I still look like this.
Maybe that’s why I couldn’t help but say something when that guy passed by.
“The guy who won with Ether Red is really… … .”
I think I said something along those lines.
But the guy I actually met was quite different.
The first time I felt that a little was during the first sparring session.
It was a match that started first with my provocation.
As expected, the one without ether wasn’t that powerful.
I really don’t know what he believed in to do such an interview.
So I let my guard down. No, maybe it was my skill.
A single dagger blocked by psychic powers. The three daggers hidden behind it were unexpected.
At that time, my perception changed a little.
‘Even though his overall ability isn’t that high, he’s a guy who’s pretty good at fighting.’
Because I could see a little bit of his sense and tactical side.
But it was unexpected that I was suddenly pointed out by Lee Chang-hyun and put on a 3v3v3 Mini Hunters League game team.
Bringing in an opponent to your team who you fought against and lost to?
Because I couldn’t imagine it.
Besides, he said this to me.
“I believe in your abilities. I need you.”
… … That’s when I realized. There was another side to that guy.
The guy was biting his lip hard. Even though he had won, it must have taken a lot of courage to say those words to the person who had mocked him.
I thought that he might not have overwhelming status or talent, but he would never tolerate losing and would do anything to win.
That’s why he must have chosen you.
So. I decided to give it a try.
A gamble tactic that the guy trusted me with and tried.

“Kim Jin-seung! Han Ji-soo! Get ready!”
In the tense situation where Yoon Han-gyeol and Jin Han were chasing Lee Chang-hyeon, he shouted out loud.
“… … ”
At those words, Jin Han and Yoon Han-gyeol paused for a moment and looked around, but nothing happened.
“Was it fake… … ”
For a moment, Yoon Han-gyeol thought that Lee Chang-hyun had done that to buy time. In reality, the gap between the two had widened in the time that he had been hesitating.
But Yoon Han-gyeol was never easygoing.
It wasn’t just Yoon Han-gyeol and Jin Han who were flying around with air anchors and airbeats that had to be watched out for.
‘I won… … .’
This was because a sword was flown from behind to restrain Lee Chang-hyun’s movements using Yoon Han-gyeol’s skill, the Leegi Geom [S].
‘Why did it have to be Yoon Han-gyeol who teamed up with Jin Han? I wonder if this is luck or not… … Should I wait a little longer?’
And as Yoon Han-gyeol’s sword continued to restrain Lee Chang-hyun’s aerial acrobatics, his movements in fact had to slow down significantly. Then Lee Chang-hyun shouted again.
“Han Ji-soo!!”
“I won’t be fooled this time!”
The combined attack of Jin Han and Yoon Han-gyeol that followed attacked Lee Chang-hyeon.
… … And it was the moment when the three attacks, each with a huge difference in power, were about to face off.
Jiiing… …
‘… … ‘
Yoon Han-gyeol took a step back instead of attacking. It was an action based on instinct. However, since it was a joint attack, Jin Han was soon exchanging swords with Lee Chang-hyun.
And at that moment, Yoon Han-gyeol’s anxious thoughts came true.
Zzz!
A strong pressure, as if space were collapsing, enveloped the surroundings, and Yoon Han-gyeol, who took a step back, was no exception.
‘Gravity attack… … .’
Yoon Han-gyeol, who had once experienced Lee Chang-hyun and the combination of Lee Chang-hyun and Han Ji-soo, could tell that this was Han Ji-soo’s gravity plate.
But at the same time, Yoon Han-gyeol remembered.
The fact that Han Ji-soo’s gravity plate could not be operated so delicately. And Jin Han, Yoon Han-gyeol, and Lee Chang-hyun were not excluded from being thrown to the ground.
“Did you commit a suicide attack?!!”
There was only one thing he could think of. He waited until he could perfectly strike a blow that could send the strong contender and competitor, himself and Jin Han, to the finish line. That was it.
So, while the three were helplessly falling, another unbelievable thing happened.
Even though a powerful gravity attack was being applied, Lee Chang-hyun did not fall but stood still in midair, as if he did not feel any pressure.
“… … .”
I couldn’t figure out what was going on. Was this the plan from the beginning? How could Lee Chang-hyun stay afloat? Had Han Ji-soo learned how to coordinate his meticulous gravity attacks?

But one thing was certain.
‘I got hit… … ‘
Beep –
Yoon Han-gyeol and Jin Han were eliminated due to falling to the floor. It was the first elimination.
[leaving out]
[ Team A Jin Han: Fall]
[Team A Yoon Han-gyeol: Fall]
The elimination buzzer rang and Han Ji-soo’s voice was heard through the reconnected earphones.
“Are you okay? Can you handle the gravity?”
“It doesn’t feel good because my body feels tight on both sides… … But it was okay. Nice, Jinseung.”
“I didn’t know that my psychic powers would cover this… … but it turned out to be a pretty good tactic.”
“It’s not that bad. If we had confronted each other directly, it wouldn’t have ended this easily, no matter the tactics or anything.”
Lee Chang-hyun was taking all the aggro, and they were joining in the center but not meeting up to provide cover. The moment everyone was in the air, Lee Chang-hyun’s plan was for Han Ji-soo to surprise attack with a gravity attack.
‘If I had just done that, I would have been eliminated too… … .’
Among the people chosen by Lee Chang-hyun was Kim Jin-seung, who could use telekinesis, a type of power similar to gravity attack. Han Ji-soo applied gravity to the guys floating in the air and suppressed them in a wide area, and Kim Jin-seung focused only on me and pulled me up.
It was called the Lee Chang-hyun bait operation.
I didn’t have time to try it once, and I didn’t know how gravity and telekinesis worked. I just assumed that it would be possible, so I threw myself into the test. I succeeded. The result was a victory for Lee Chang-hyun, who believed in Kim Jin-seung.
“The game isn’t over yet, so focus. The rest of the kids might have seen us fight or heard information. It’s unlikely that we’ll stumble and fall all at once like this.”
The moment he said that, surprisingly, the buzzer signaling the end of the game rang.
[leaving out]
[Team A Yoo Hye-ju: Death due to excessive bleeding]
[leaving out]
[ Team B Hae-il Lee: Death due to battle]
[ Team B Kim Ki-joo: Death due to battle]
[Team B Cha Il-tae: Died in battle]
[ Team B Kim Ki-in: Death due to battle]
The electronic scoreboard that reported the battle situation simply said so silently.
‘… … So you fought against four people alone? As expected, Yoo Hye-ju… … .’
It seemed that Yoo Hye-ju had defeated four members of Team B by herself and collapsed.
It was a somewhat vain ending.
[Survivor]
[ Team C Kim Jin-seung, Lee Chang-hyun, Han Ji-soo]
But anyway, the result was an overwhelming victory for Team C.
***
[Hunters, The next generation] Special) It looks really intense, but in reality, when the players who are active are promoted to the upper leagues, they get beaten up in the matches lol.
No, no, Lee Han-sol is active in Part 1~
ㄴ But if you look at it this time, weren’t there a lot of kids who showed some potential?
N I want to recruit Yoo Hye-joo. Ah, lol. If I were the manager, I would have bought her in advance and signed a long-term contract.
N It was definitely overwhelming among the rookies.
N Four people breaking a pot with a mace lol
N Is this a Paladin or something?
After the match, I quickly looked around to see what had happened, and it seemed like Yoo Hye-ju had defeated four people individually with a mace. Of course, Yoon Han-gyeol was on par with Yoo Hye-ju or better, but at least in this match, he couldn’t help but stand out more.
‘Yoo Hye-joo… … .’
Like Yoon Han-gyeol, he was one of the most famous guys of my generation even before his return, so he was definitely a guy with a different side from the start.
Of course, Yoo Hye-joo was talking passionately to the other guys from Team A on one side, whether she knew about those thoughts or not.
“No, I fought Team B alone, but how can two people chase after one and both fall to their deaths? Is this your first time playing the game? I can’t believe it.”
It seemed like he was really angry. I think I would have been like that too… … But the team members who were listening didn’t seem to be harmed at all.
“No, senior. What I’m saying is that finding the hidden piece last time and Lee Chang-hyun over there didn’t seem to be any tricks when he beat Yoon Han-gyeol last time. Tactically, he’s quite sharp and he caught them off guard, so there was nothing we could do since we rushed in without a strategy… … Senior Yoon Han-gyeol is stronger than them in terms of force, isn’t he? But in my opinion, I think the result would have been the same even if Yoo Hye-joo was in Yoon Han-gyeol’s place. Senior Yoo Hye-joo doesn’t know how great Lee Chang-hyun over there is. His strategy is to really catch them off guard… … .”
Jin Han really talked endlessly. Yoo Hye-ju couldn’t continue speaking as if she was even more angry at seeing that. No, she seemed to have too much to say and was speechless.
Meanwhile, Yoon Han-gyeol seemed to be apologizing calmly.
“I’m sorry… … It was my fault. I should have been more cautious after experiencing their abilities once.”
Well, Yoon Han-gyeol felt that way even before his return. When his strategy failed or he lost a game, he would get depressed and recall his mistakes.
Since the ability itself is excellent, it would be okay to be a little shameless.
Anyway, the game response was pretty good.
– But didn’t you get a lot out of this game? First of all, it was Lee Chang-hyun. Just watching him do 3D maneuvers in the air was breathtaking. It can’t be compared to a 3-legged guy who lurches like a car crawling on a congested highway. Lol
Are the promising stocks in our country, where the average stock price is like a clogged highway, really promising stocks? My heart swells with pride.
Yeah, I watch Part 3 a lot, and this is true.
It’s because you’re still an amateur opponent that you can do that. You have such a low standard of observation.
Look at what you’re saying. Are you a PER mom?
For reference, PER was a team that was always coming in last place.
Most of them were brief comments or impressions about the game, or from an amateur’s perspective, but there were also some pretty sharp analyses.
– I think that’s a strategy that was thought out in advance from the beginning of the game. Dropping them with gravity and then retrieving them with telekinesis? He’s got guts, and he seems like a total piece of shit.
No, no. I tried it because it was advantageous for my team to exchange 2 enemies for 1 ally, but I was lucky and had someone with telekinesis on my team.
But when I looked closely while it was maneuvering in the air, I saw that the mana rope was slightly shining, so it seems like it’s not just doing 3D maneuvers in the normal way, but has some kind of special skill?
‘I did pour ether into Manarov to adjust its elasticity… … I didn’t know you’d notice that.’
His eye for detail was very sharp.
Well, it doesn’t really matter if you get caught because it’s not something that other people can follow even if they know.
And there was one more unexpected thing.
“Hey, I’m sorry for saying such harsh things to you before.”
“… … .”
“Oh, it’s okay if you don’t remember.”
Kim Jin-seung apologized alone and then left.
He acted like he would never apologize even if he died.
Cute guy.
