Episode 245 Team Member Selection
“So, if you want to sign a contract, you have to take off that mask, right?”
Have you seen this inspiration?
As expected, it seems like he didn’t grow old for nothing. He showed a symbol of wanting to check before signing the contract until the very end.
But, if you show your face before stamping the contract, you will be pushed by those words… …
‘In the worst case scenario, it’ll be a total bust.’
Originally, PER. And I will participate in the international exchange fair. Isn’t it a condition that I receive a lot of extra benefits in the name of participating in the international exchange fair?
So, the action to take was obvious.
‘Chairman Lee Geun-taek… … Your pockets may be empty… … But it’s none of my business.’
I’m sorry.
“Didn’t you say that it didn’t matter what my identity was?”
I kept my mouth shut and answered Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s questions, pretending not to know anything.
“That’s… … but, it’s a matter of trust.”
“Of course. I will participate. In the international exchange competition. And since it was originally intended to be given to the player who reached first place in the ranked competition, I think it will suit your intentions. Do you need more?”
“… … No. Then I will do as you say.”
‘done……!’
Lee Geun-taek, perhaps in resignation, gestured to his secretary to hand over the contract he had prepared in advance.
He wrote down the amount and items he had just promised to add as additional provisions.
That’s an overwhelming advantage.
After that, Lee Geun-taek stamped the seal and I stamped the seal.
With this, the contract was concluded.
“Yeah. Let me see your face. Judging from the way you’re talking, you’re one of the guys I know… … There aren’t many Hunters I could hate that much, right? Of course, I’ve even embraced guys who escaped the battlefield of the Tower, so should I throw you out after seeing your true identity?”
Lee Geun-taek said with a generous smile.
Well, now that the contract is over, I can take off my mask, right?
“Oh, it’s been a while, Chairman.”
“you you!”
Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s face turned unusually red, and he grabbed the back of his neck.
I thought I would have expected it to some extent, but was it completely unexpected?
“Rather, I’m the one who’s surprised. I thought you would have found out through the association… … .”
“Hiding your identity with a mask… is just a matter of not revealing the painful circumstances or strategies you each have to hide. Who would have thought someone would use it like this?”
Lee Geun-taek looked at me and said.
But, even though he said those words, I could feel that there was affection in them.
Of course. Since I received the relic, I have become like Lee Geun-taek’s successor in the Korean Hunters League. As my status rises, wouldn’t Lee Geun-taek be proud?
“Actually… … I was sure it was you until you, wearing a mask, fought a guy who looked exactly like you… … How did you do that?”
I think he was talking about the time when Kim Do-jun fought me while disguised and wearing a mask like me.
‘I guess that had quite a bit of effect.’
“It’s simple. I think you know, Mr. Chairman… … Don’t you remember? The match between PER and PSG. It happened in the [Palace of Dreams].”
“Ugh… … .”
Only then did Lee Geun-taek seem to understand, slapping his knee.
Since you are not a slow person, even if I just tell you this much, you will probably be able to figure out what was going on behind the scenes.
Why did you fight with Kim Do-jun, who wore a mask and disguised himself like me, with his abilities sealed?
Even though it felt like a friendly match, why did it end in a lukewarm draw?
And why on that day, even though the swordsman was clearly my figure, my sword skills didn’t look that sharp.
Strange but lightly overlooked facts will fit together like a puzzle.
“Okay. I admit it.”
“Then, according to the contract, you’ll do everything, right?”
“Hey… … A guy who already has so much, he’s threatening me with a knife while holding both hands full and demanding more.
Still… … Alright. Do as you wish.”
“It’s not about doing what you want, it’s about doing what the contract says.”
I said with a sly smile.
But Lee Geun-taek didn’t seem to be in a particularly bad mood.
“Okay. Do as per the contract.”
Even though he spoke so bluntly, he couldn’t hide the small smile on his lips.
I hope my growth will be enjoyable.
The fact that I, who was chosen as a successor in a lower league like the 2nd division, won not only the Korean Hunters League but also the ranked matches.
“But since PER is going to the international exchange tournament anyway, I guess I’ll have to reconsider the matter of the number 1 ranked player going to the international exchange tournament. Then go in. You’ll have a lot to do.”
“… … .”
“… … Aren’t you that busy?”
“That’s not it. Didn’t I tell you? I will definitely keep my promise to participate in the international exchange event.”
“So. We’ve already decided to select two main players and one standby player for PER… … .”
“That’s PER and I’m me.”
Only then did Lee Geun-taek realize what I meant and he looked at me with wide eyes.
“This thieving bastard… … .”
“But a contract is a contract, Mr. Chairman. I’m busy, so I’ll go now.”
“Hey… … Wait a minute! Changhyun. Hey!”
Anyway, I have the contract in my hand so it should be okay.
If you leave Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s response to Kim Seong-jun, he’ll handle it somehow.
‘With this, there are 3 members of the international exchange team in PER… … .’

International exchange events will certainly be a great source of nourishment for team members to grow.
I’m already starting to get a little excited.
***
“You listened to all that… … Your temper has really died down.”
Jo Jun-ho, who had been watching silently, came in and spoke to Lee Geun-taek.
That would be the case, considering the immense power that Lee Geun-taek held in the Korean hunter world, it wouldn’t have been difficult for him to break that contract.
“Is it really necessary to try so hard to win everything?”
Lee Geun-taek laughed heartily and tried to answer.
For Jo Jun-ho, who knew Lee Geun-taek in the past, it was an absurd statement.
“Whenever I think of you, who was always fiery when you entered the tower and got into a fight or conflict with a hunter from another country… … hmm.”
If you imagine Lee Geun-taek in the past, it is something you can never imagine.
Jo Jun-ho swallowed his words.
It was because Lee Geun-taek cut off Jo Jun-ho.
“Yes. I have always lived a life without compromise… … because it was for the people, for my comrades, and to save them.
But now I am no longer a warrior living that kind of life.”
Lee Geun-taek’s hazy eyes were staring into space.
Am I getting old? Or am I finally able to live a normal life if I want to?
Even Cho Jun-ho couldn’t know that.
but.
“If I had lived an ordinary life, wouldn’t I have had a grandson just like Lee Chang-hyun? That guy Ryu Jae-jun also became attached to that guy Lee Chang-hyun.”
In those last words, Jo Jun-ho could understand.
Lee Geun-taek’s heart.

After the international exchange event was confirmed, things went smoothly.
From coordinating departure schedules, to providing support personnel, equipment support, etc…
All other matters had been completed.
Of course, there was one most important process left.
‘Including me, there are three main members… … It’s good that they added one member. Who should I choose for the two main members and one standby member? This is really difficult…’
In terms of experience, it will be the same for all PER players to go abroad and do training camp.
But in the end, the number of people who could be selected to participate in the international exchange program was not that many, so the decision had to be made over a long period of time.
Originally, I should have made the decision after everyone had made up their minds… …
Because I usually decided on the roster for each game and all other matters.
It’s true that I was thinking of doing something a little different this time.
“So… …you haven’t decided on who will compete?”
PER’s team home. All the players are gathered. Yoon Han-gyeol heard the situation and asked me.
“Yes. I received my position from Chairman Lee Geun-taek, so we’re going to select two main members and one reserve member. Do you have any opinions on how we should select them?”
At those words, the waiting room instantly became noisy.
Well, who wouldn’t want to go?
This will be a rare opportunity to face off against the players you dream of.
For my own growth and to promote myself as a player, there was no better stage.
Moreover, it is an international exchange event.
What if you work hard here and achieve good results?
Then, that alone will increase the number of Korean teams that can advance to the international league, and as a result, they will be treated as heroes in the Korean Hunters League.
In addition, there will be players from other teams, such as Kang Jun-hyeok, who will show absolute force. As a player, you can’t help but feel a little nervous.
“Then let’s make it a fair 1-on-1 tournament and have the two winners play!”
Kim Do-jun shouted.
‘Kim Do-jun 1v1…? …? He doesn’t have good results in ranked matches, but he makes such suggestions. Or did he finish some special mana equipment?’
However, Kim Do-jun’s words were not accepted.
“If you play in a tournament, you might get unlucky and fail, so a league match would be better.”
As expected, Lee Seong-tae answered with confidence in one-on-one.
“No. It’s a team game, so if only the guys who are good at 1v1s go out, is that the right way to evaluate? How much of a presence have they shown on the team so far? That’s how you should evaluate the whole game.”
“that’s right……!”
Han Ji-soo, who actively opposes the 1-on-1 method of selection, and Lee Yeon-joo, who timidly adds to it.
Everyone seemed enthusiastic.
Since then, various opinions have been expressed.
From the idea of going with the hunter survival format that we practiced in the past to the idea of using the 1st division match indicators to compare each position and select the person with the highest ranking.
Everyone raised their voices to try to persuade others with their own reasons, but…
‘There’s no opinion that I’m particularly drawn to.’
That was my honest impression.
A more fundamental consideration was needed.
To be honest, the teams and players participating in international exchange matches are not as strict as the international league, but they are players who do not suffer a great loss to be called world class.
So, it is difficult to expect that the team will perform particularly better just because the indicators are good right now or because we bring in players who are slightly better in certain areas.
Even more so when you consider the gap between Korea and other Hunters League powerhouses.
In that case, what was important was the other part rather than the current skill.
‘Growth potential.’
As I initially chose the difficult path and chose to grow the team myself.
As I promised myself that I would personally develop each and every member of the team and create the best team.
When you take him to an international exchange program, he is the kind of guy who will learn more than anyone else and achieve rapid growth.
I had to take that guy with me.
Once I decided on a direction, the rest wasn’t difficult.
In the waiting room, where the debate was still going on, I came to my own conclusion.
“I heard various opinions, and they all have their own validity.”
“Oh… … Then it’s 1 on 1?”
“What nonsense is that? Haven’t you heard me up until now? I said Hunter Survival is good. Overall.”
“What kind of Hunter Survival is this… … It’s a team battle, so we have to judge it based on the results from Part 1.”
As the saying goes, too many captains will end up in a mountain.
“Everyone, be quiet. The three players will be selected by inviting outside players and experts, including myself.
In the meantime, everyone should focus on individual training.”
Everyone was dumbfounded, wondering if it was a method they had never thought of.
First of all, it’s confusing because they only told us who would choose us and told us to do individual training, but didn’t say what criteria they would use to choose us.
But, just like when we beat LTD, in order to beat better teams, we have to move up in the team weight class.
It was time to look at the growth of each player.
As I’ve grown over the years, those guys must have grown too.
