057. The one who flies above the one who runs
Ryu Jae-jun.
At first, Lee Geun-taek was the guy who took it in without much thought.
He was a guy who lived happily with his parents in the safe zone of the tower.
At least, they were no different from any other normal guys until the safe zone suddenly collapsed and monsters descended.
The boy who lost his parents wanted revenge on the monster. But he was only fifteen years old. He had just awakened, so there was no way he could stand a chance against it.
I caught the guy who was recklessly trying to run towards the monster out of hatred and brought him in. That was the reason I took him in.
‘A lot of time has passed since then… … .’
The guy grew quickly as a hunter because of that hatred. But after he was fully grown, the tower dungeon had already been conquered.
The guy’s hatred went out of control, and he suffered from severe depression. Eventually, he even moved out of Lee Geun-taek’s house.
Lee Geun-taek didn’t look for the guy. He had to find his own life and purpose on his own.
Even if the guy committed suicide because he couldn’t find a purpose in life, he would only feel depressed for a moment, but in the end, he would have accepted it calmly.
But that guy had just joined LTD and was trying to do something.
Meanwhile, Lee Chang-hyun.
Funnily enough, his opponent was Lee Chang-hyun, who had long since lost the will to live and seemed to be slowly dying of boredom from the passage of time.
‘It’s not the chairman who chooses me, it’s me who chooses the chairman.’
When I think back on that time, my heart still swells with emotion.
Arrogant guy.
If he had been more energetic, he would have kicked the guy out, but for some reason, something inside Lee Geun-taek had burned out and only ashes remained, so that arrogance instead became the spark of a new life.
I still can’t stop smiling when I think about that time.
I really thought I had been through it all, but it seems there was still more to see in the world. Lee Chang-hyun and Ryu Jae-jun.
That momentary feeling was fleeting. It was also an interesting question to see who would win.
I knew Lee Chang-hyun a little bit because I had faced him once before in a match, and I knew Ryu Jae-jun a little bit because I had taught him personally, even when he was very young.
Ryu Jae-jun’s specialty skill is [Wave: S+]. It consumes a lot of mana, but it is a skill that clearly has merit.
Creates a powerful wave of mana centered around oneself and strikes in all directions.
It was as if the very existence of the mana bomber itself was alive. It could even distinguish between friend and foe.
And this skill was actually displayed in a very impressive way right before Lee Geun-taek’s eyes not long after.
Lee Chang-hyun’s PER’s proud ‘bomber combination’, that is, the combination of the Leegi Sword and the Mana Bomber, exploded before it could even approach, unable to withstand the impact of Ryu Jae-jun’s mana wave.
‘Lee Chang-hyun won’t give up easily either… … but that’ll be a pretty big blow.’
The guy who I thought was my own grandson, Ryu Jae-jun. I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard that he was back up and showing a good game.
‘Show that arrogant bastard your presence.’
In his imagination, a pure, childlike desire blossomed in Lee Geun-taek to wonder which of the two beings he knew would win if they fought.
A mischievous smile naturally appeared on Lee Geun-taek’s face, and he clenched his fists tightly. It was fun.
Well, actually, it doesn’t matter who wins.

“Changhyun!!”
As soon as all the Mana Bombers exploded in the air, I heard a panicked voice from my teammate calling out to me.
Anyway, I’m not a mother bird and no matter what I do, they all look for me and cause trouble.
I’ve said this many times before, that you can’t survive just by using this tactic.
“Don’t worry about your failures. I told you not to think about each and every one of them.”
Phew. The kids don’t have much experience winning, but as they move up, there are more than one or two things I have to give them instructions on.
“Anyway, the current situation is 7 to 5 since we already took out two of them with Mana Bombers. We have the advantage in an all-out war. We’ll do as I instructed before.”
“okay”
“okay.”
Han Ji-soo and Yoon Han-gyeol joined in an instant, leaving Lee Yeon-ju at the rear. On the other hand, there was still no movement from the other side. It was as if they were waiting for an all-out war.
‘Whew… … I guess I trust Ryu Jae-jun, but this isn’t the first or second time something like this has happened to LTD.’
Most of the LTD teams started off at a disadvantage, but ended up winning most of the games.
That meant that the organizational power and individual strength were at least top-tier in the third division.
And in fact, it is because of that confidence that they are waiting for an all-out war even though two people died first.
Moreover, with Ryu Jae-jun around now, long-range mana bomber sniping would be ineffective, and the only way to deal with them was through a direct, all-out war.
“let’s go!”
Before the dust raised by the Mana Bomber could settle, five PER team members, excluding Lee Yeon-ju and I, charged in in an instant.
The inside of the building became a scene of chaos in an instant.
From what I’ve seen from the ‘Piercing Eye’ at the outside sniping point, two PER team members have already died, and there’s one casualty on the LTD side as well.
‘As expected, LTD’s power is… … .’
It’s not easy. Our team has actually come up with a bomber combination, while the opposing team has a regular attack. When they fight in a standard team fight, their power is tremendous.
When we confronted it head on, its power was revealed even more greatly.
The only fortunate thing is that the enemy and allies are fighting in such a complex manner that Ryu Jae-jun cannot use his [Wave: S+] skill to launch area-of-effect attacks.
After providing several rounds of support fire, I saw my team dying one by one, so I had no choice but to modify my strategy.
It was also difficult to fire threatening shots inside the building.
I thought things would be okay since our team was recently at the top of the 3rd division, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
The weapon was converted from a sniper rifle to a dual pistol using [Magic Engineering Weapon Conversion: A].
It was the most suitable type of gun because it did not compromise mobility in close combat and was easy to change direction due to its small size.
In the last game, I kept using the bomber combination and only snipe the guys coming out, so this was a weapon I hadn’t used in a long time.
‘I don’t remember very well now… … I think I used it once when I was catching clones during the preliminaries for the Hunter Audition program.’
However, that doesn’t mean the skill level was any lower.
It just wasn’t used well because it didn’t fit the situation.
I flew into the building with my two pistols and air anchor.

***
Before the game started, Ryu Jae-jun was a little nervous.
I’ve been building up my strength as a Hunter out of my hatred for the Tower, but now I’ve lost sight of that goal.
Ryu Jae-jun’s new interest was the Hunter’s League.
Similarly, he killed monsters, but eventually he found an opponent, and he needed something to focus on again because he had lost his way.
‘It’s a shame that there are only guys who are nothing special.’
I guess it’s because it’s a third division league.
He easily entered the prestigious LTD team, and in this newly created position, he was recognized for his outstanding skills and quickly became a regular player.
I thought so.
And actually, PER’s tactics that had LTD officials quite nervous about today’s game.
What was it? A bomber combination? Was it something like that? Anyway, that was also destroyed.
Ryu Jae-jun thought it was going smoothly.
No, it was too easy.
The team had been giving him all sorts of scares and saying that his tactics were dangerous, but to no avail, with just one gesture of his hand, he would all be swept away by a mana wave.
Although I felt empty, I also thought that the third division was just a stepping stone to get to where I wanted to be.
Ryu Jae-jun didn’t know much about the world, but he had a pretty clear understanding of his position and the extent of his power.
When the bombing using the Mana Bomber failed, they, as expected, ended up rushing in using the regular method.
The guys attached to Ryu Jae-jun are one who uses a flying sword. Another guy who can control gravity, which is annoying.
A couple of knives flew around, stabbing me threateningly. I saw them coming and turned my head to avoid the straight-line knives, but my hair was cut off.
‘It’s pretty sharp for a 3rd division league… … ?’
It wasn’t just the flying sword that was threatening. The moment I stepped to the right to dodge the sword, I was pulled by the intense gravity and almost fell over.
… … Is that the guy next to me?
But that wasn’t a problem.
This level of stabbing and sabotage was familiar to me.
The fight with Lee Geun-taek was not just about training to become a hunter.
Once again, swords flew at him, aiming for both the front and the side. Ryu Jae-jun dodged them by jumping over them as if he was performing acrobatics inside this cramped building.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly installed the airbeat and got out of the gap between the swords, while approaching the two in an instant.
A surprised expression.
Yes, this reaction is normal.
Ryu Jae-jun quickly approached the two of them, then placed his two hands against each other and released [Wave: S+] again.
The powerful repulsive force surrounding him spread out as if swirling around him.
All of this happened in a split second. It happened naturally, like flowing water. It was as if it was meant to be.
“Ugh… … !”
The ability to throw a sword into the air and the ability to suppress it using gravity were amazing, but for Ryu Jae-jun, who was a veteran of many battles at his age, they were not a big problem.
Even though it was only a few years, the basic skills I learned from Lee Geun-taek during my childhood have not gone anywhere.
Looking around, I saw similar things happening there.
Although some LTD team members fell, most of the PER team members fell more.
‘Well… I did say that it’s not a special team except for the bomber combination or something.’
It was so easy I yawned.
No, that’s when I thought about it.
“… … ?”
I thought everyone came out because it was an all-out war, but are there still people who haven’t come out yet?
Well, the situation is almost settled anyway. Even if a new guy comes out, there won’t be much change in the situation.
And already several LTD team members had detected the guy and were taking stances to attack.
‘I’ve done enough for today, so I’ll just go take a look.’
Even though I had joined LTD, I had only seen a few team games, so I just wanted to watch.
At least at first.
The first guy to rush at him was a typical LTD melee dealer with a one-handed sword and one-handed shield. What was his name… … Honestly, I don’t remember it well.
And next to him, the LTD supporter was preparing to aim [Area Binding: A]. If he lost mobility, he would be easily dealt with in this situation where there were more LTD team members.
I thought so.
But somehow the guy sensed the [Area Binding: A], and in an instant, he scattered his airbeats and moved at an unbelievable speed even though he was indoors.
‘This… … wasn’t just thrown away.’
As if he was walking along a planned path, he moved naturally from the door to the desk inside the building where Ryu Jae-jun was. As he was moving at lightning speed, he wasn’t just moving.
Bang! Ta-tang bang!
It was so fast that it was hard to see, and it was moving in an instant by stepping on the airbeat, while its two guns were firing nonstop.
At the same time, several LTD team members fell down helplessly. The guy who had rushed at them was no exception.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but realize.
Ryu Jae-jun himself was speaking about the experience he had accumulated as a hunter up to now.
This guy. Maybe he’s on the same level as me or even better.
