054. Each person’s training

Hunter Union Training Center. Just hearing the name, it was easy to mistake it for a gym with a bunch of equipment and a sparring area for fighting.

However, as the scale is large, it is bound to be filled with special things that take up that scale.

The place where Lee Chang-hyun pushed Lee Yeon-ju was also the same.

A training option that people who only do general training rarely look for.

A sort of dungeon crawling program for “explorers”.

Lee Yeon-ju must have thought it was a typical training facility… … but when she went in, she was surprised to see something completely different, so she shouted outside.

“what it this?”

Of course, even if I answer, you won’t hear me…

Since you asked, it’s only right to answer, right… ?

“Survive in the dungeon for 5 minutes.”

It was a kind of dungeon simulation, a training system where monsters and AI from the map would attack you.

Of course, among them, there are no opponents made up of monsters or AI that Lee Yeon-ju can defeat with her skills.

It is literally a battlefield where you have to survive by just avoiding your opponent.

As for how to avoid it… … It doesn’t matter. Survival itself is the most necessary ability for Lee Yeon-ju, who can support anywhere as long as she can survive when being targeted by her opponent.

“Just keep repeating this today.”

It seemed like I could hear Lee Yeon-ju’s screams, but I couldn’t just watch Lee Yeon-ju all day. I hurried my steps and headed to the next person.

***

“Chang-hyeon. But is it really necessary to change Yeon-ju into a supporter? Of course, Yeon-ju’s only supporting ability is a location-specific ability.”

Ah… … Now that I think about it, Lee Jong-gyu was there too. When I think and decide on my own, I keep forgetting things.

But I was wondering how I could explain that to Lee Jong-gyu. Telling Lee Jong-gyu that I saw Lee Yeon-joo’s potential wasn’t a very good idea.

‘For a hunter, the more his specific abilities are known to others, the more he loses… … .’

If it became known that I could identify potential, there was a possibility that other teams would rush in and compete with me whenever I tried to recruit other players.

So, I felt the need to say it indirectly.

Making some plausible excuse.

“Who is our team’s main ranged dealer?”

“Well… … of course it’s you.”

“That’s right… … I’m in the third division, so that’s why, but I have enough firepower to get by. But what about Lee Yeon-ju?”

“The performance is… … .”

Lee Jong-gyu couldn’t bring himself to continue speaking.

Total. If you compare the arrows of Lee Chang-hyun and Lee Yeon-joo, who can fire powerful shots through ether, then in fact, Lee Yeon-joo’s attacks are practically nonexistent.

A comparison can only be made if it is appropriate. Since it was a comparison between Lee Chang-hyun and Lee Yeon-joo, who were difficult to even compare, I couldn’t help but nod.

“The bow is a weapon that requires much more skill than the melee dealer’s weapon. Furthermore, if you don’t have ranged dealer skills, it will be blocked by the mana shield, so it is even more so.

But if you look at the current level of archery proficiency, it is practically at a level of nothing… … This means that at this point, when you have already become a professional hunter, you cannot train to be at the same level as other people.

So. Right now, I’m enough of a long-range dealer. It would be better to make the most of the abilities I have now.”

Lee Jong-gyu would have no choice but to agree with this.

But instead, I heard a snort, and it was Lee Min-sol chasing after me.

I looked back in disbelief, and he was pretending not to follow me…

‘Why on earth are you following me… … .’

Anyway, there are many hunters who engage in eccentric behavior, so it’s difficult to understand their way of thinking.

The next guy we’ll see is Lee Gil-han.

After a short walk, one side of a large cavern appears. The scene of Lee Gil-han’s ranking match is visible.

Coincidentally, the opponent was a long-range dealer. Lee Gil-han and the opponent continued to engage in a game of tag.

A fighter who tries to pressure his opponent by sticking close to him. And an opponent who keeps his distance and steadily attacks him with [Bending Arrows], accumulating damage.

The chase continued for a while, like a game of tag, but soon, perhaps because he was hit by too many arrows, Lee Gil-han collapsed and was defeated.

[1415 points] Lee Gil-han – 18 points

Lee Gil-han, who came out of the ranking match room, had a bitter expression on his face.

‘Still, it seems like the competitive spirit is still alive.’

Fortunately, it wasn’t the worst.

Looking back, what Lee Gil-han needed more than actual combat was the ‘power to think’.

In the last match, I often thought that blindly rushing in was lacking in sense. It seems that this was also applied without regret in the ranked matches.

“Ah… … Changhyun.”

In the meantime, he pretended to know me and Coach Lee Jong-gyu first. But he still didn’t look that happy, probably because he didn’t show a good performance in the game.

“You don’t have to worry too much. I think the player with the highest potential for growth on our team is Lee Gil-han.”

Lee Gil-han opened his eyes wide, perhaps finding it a bit unexpected.

“The ability itself is good. The status isn’t that bad either… … The problem is the timing of using the skill. And the sense of movement is just lacking. For the time being, don’t play. Focus on thinking.

Rather than playing ranked matches myself, I watch players with similar styles. For now, I’m focusing on Kim Han-gil, who is ranked as a melee tanker with [4813 points].”

Lee Gil-han nodded with a stern expression.

“Oh, of course. I need to know if you really felt what you saw when you watched Kim Han-gil’s game, so I think you should write an analysis report… … For every game.”

Lee Gil-han’s expression became bizarre. Well, I guess he’s never watched someone else’s game and written an analysis report before.

However, firstly, Lee Gil-han needs to figure out the sense of a melee tank on his own, and secondly, I need to correct his thinking to some extent.

There is no choice but to write a report.

After that, I left Lee Gil-han behind and went to see Kim Do-jun, Yoon Han-gyeol, and Han Ji-soo.

Kim Do-jun must have felt bad about not doing well in the last match, so he asked if I had any special tactics, and I told him to try using the weapon glow effect I had set up last time in a moment of crisis.

On the other hand, in the case of Yoon Han-gyeol and Han Ji-soo, their ranking scores were quite high because they were kids who had potential from the beginning.

[1814 points] Yoon Han-gyeol

[1664 points] Han Ji-soo

Yoon Han-gyeol and Han Ji-su, who recently joined the team, are participating in a ranking match for the first time today, so it means that they increased their points from 1,000 to 800 to 600 in just one day…

‘It’s definitely working in the Pro Hunter League.’

I thought that these two were the ones who had the least to worry about compared to the other team members.

I expected that it would be the most helpful in a situation where I couldn’t use the ‘bomber combination’, so I felt a little bit relieved.

Han Ji-soo and Yoon Han-gyeol didn’t really need any major advice, so I watched them play the ranking match for a bit and then returned to the break room.

“Sure, Jisoo and Hankyul can play the role of aces. But is it okay if I don’t give them advice?”

“Well, they’re kids who know how to do it on their own. At least, it doesn’t seem like they’re needed right now.”

Looking back this time, the team’s power is starting to become objectively clear to some extent. In the 3rd league, it’s hard to beat LTD or RIX, which we saw last time, but they’re not in the lower ranks.

I expected it to be somewhere around the upper-middle tier. Of course, if the bomber combination works better than expected, I could aim for that tier too… … .

Without the basics, tactics alone will only get you so far.

‘So I looked to see if there was any potential… … Except for Lee Yeon-ju, there wasn’t any potential that seemed like it could be released right away… … .’

For the time being, it would be best to focus on basic physical strength, teamwork, and developing individual abilities.

‘Oh… … Now that I think about it, was that Lee Min-sol who was following me earlier? Did he leave?’

Well, we’re not in the first division, so we don’t have to worry about it right now.

Why on earth did you follow me… … .

***

Lee Min-sol was in good condition overall today.

He even beat Kim Han-gil, who is usually difficult to beat due to his compatibility, and whose record against him is only 8 to 2.

Something quite interesting happened.

On the way out of the 1-on-1 ranking match with Kim Han-gil, I found the guy named Lee Chang-hyun that Jin Kyung-tae had mentioned.

“Minsol. I can’t believe it either… … It’s true that Takumi lost to that 3rd division leaguer named Lee Chang-hyun. I’m sure of it. Because I saw it… … .”

It was an unbelievable statement.

Lee Min-sol himself was dropped from the selection for the Korean Hunters League representative, but a mere 3rd division rookie beat the long-range dealer of the Japanese national team that defeated the Korean national team?

Even if I had just won one game because I was lucky, I absolutely could not believe it.

The gap between Part 3 and Part 1 was that big.

‘Just the fact that the first place team in Part 3 is LTD is enough to make it stand out.’

1st Division LTD is a team in the lower middle ranks and is currently not off to a good start. But what about the team in the lower league of that team, the 3rd Division team?

It’s a video even without watching it. That phrase fits it perfectly.

So I got interested.

Since he seemed to have come to play in a ranking match, I figured I’d just watch the match of this guy named Lee Chang-hyun. With that in mind, I followed him around…

‘What the heck?’

Come to think of it, I remembered that the guy wasn’t just a player. Jin Kyung-tae had told me that he was also a coach, but that was so absurd… … But… … .

‘You’re really coaching each and every one of them, right?’

For Lee Min-sol, who was on a team with professional coaches, a manager, and even a performance analyst, this was absurd.

I wanted to shout out that there was no team that did something so old-fashioned, but it wasn’t even my team.

But, as I followed him around and listened to what Lee Chang-hyun said and what he coached, it seemed pretty plausible. Isn’t it not that different from what I heard from the professional coaches on the team and what they prescribed…?

In addition, the way he checked each player’s ability and team synergy one by one seemed quite professional.

Even though he is a team member who is not good at anything, he somehow manages to make use of his strengths.

So I modified my assessment a bit.

‘Hmm… … Still, it’s not completely absurd. Well, most of the managers and coaches are either former Hunters League players or first-generation Hunters, so it’s not completely unreasonable for players to coach… … .’

He’s more experienced than I thought. He’s pretty skilled? I couldn’t help but think that. It’s as if he’s been analyzing and supplementing others for a long time…

Well, even so, he’s a third-tier player. And I don’t think he looks that great, like Jin Kyung-tae said.

Of course, I haven’t seen Lee Chang-hyun’s game, but at best, it’s a team that would have a hard time taking the top 1-3 places in the 3rd division.

You don’t even need to look to see the level of the guy on that team.

I wonder what these kids were talking about when Jin Kyung-tae was yelling so loudly.

Anyway, you have to understand that the kids are being noisy.
