067. Induction Tactics
Team PER’s tactical conference room… … Well, it wasn’t quite Team PER’s home, in the living room of an apartment, where the meeting was continuing with the TV on.
“… … So RIX has mainly used this type of tank-like combination of offense and defense so far, so the first attack that will scatter the formation and cause a lot of damage. So the bombing of the Mana Bomber will be the most important.”
Although Yoo Hye-joo’s ‘sanctuary’ was thought to be quite sturdy, it was likely that she would not be able to easily take on the Mana Bomber head-on.
Even if the regenerative power is explosively increased, there will be limits to the healing of a body that has been tattered after being hit by a bomb.
“So, are you saying we should go with a bomber combination using the existing mana bomber?”
“That would be nice, but… … unless the other person is an idiot, they would have come up with a countermeasure.”
The bomber combination was definitely a good tactic, but since it was so exposed, it was expected that some countermeasures would be brought in.
“So rather than just focusing on bombing with Mana Bombers, it’s more important to make sure you get a follow-up attack to clean things up.”
“Should I charge in before the Mana Bomber can regroup while it’s in disarray?”
Lee Gil-han, who was listening to my briefing, said:
“Basically, I would say yes. To start with, use the bomber combination you normally use.
And after the bombing is over, we immediately change our formation to the close range dealer three top combination we used in the last UQQ match.”
If it was the PER at the beginning of the season, it would not have been easy to change it during the game as they are two formations with completely different personalities.
However, I thought that the current PER would not be difficult as the team has grown a lot and has become somewhat accustomed to it.
‘I’ve already experienced both formations in real combat.’
“So, it would be ideal for Yoon Han-gyeol, Kim Do-jun, and Lee Gil-han to be active together.”
Naturally, the team members’ gaze turned to the three.
Yoon Han-gyeol nodded silently with a determined expression, and Lee Gil-han, who had recently become quite confident, nodded and smiled lightly, then patted his chest with his hand as if telling him to trust him.
On the other hand, Kim Do-jun, who would normally have answered most energetically, saying, “Just trust me,” didn’t even respond, as if his mind was elsewhere.
Then, the team members seemed puzzled and for a moment, silence flowed and all eyes were on Kim Do-jun, but since they didn’t notice, it seemed clear that he was deep in thought.
“Dojun?”
When Yoon Han-gyeol, unable to stand watching, tapped Kim Do-jun next to him and called out to him, he was startled to see all of his team members looking at him.
“Uh… … ? Huh.”
‘What the… … ? This is the first time something like this has happened.’
I was a little confused. Have I been so focused on Yoon Han-gyeol’s growth lately that I haven’t been paying enough attention to Kim Do-jun?
I already told Coach Lee Jong-gyu last time, so I think his mental health has improved somewhat.
When I thought about what Kim Do-jun was thinking, I thought it might have been his reaction to the last game.
‘Even though Kim Do-jun is a vassal… … .’
Snowball Villain was his first nickname.
I guess it’s time for the wise to think seriously again about the tricks of using that shining sword.
To be honest, it’s not an honorable nickname. Maybe we won’t be able to see that shining sword in this RIX match.
Anyway, I ordered all of the team members, including Yoon Han-gyeol and Lee Gil-han, to wear sunglasses so that they wouldn’t be a bother, whether they use them or not, so it’s a good thing.
“That’s enough of the strategy meeting, and while it’s somewhat certain that we’ll advance to the second division, it’s important to maintain our competitive spirit and finish on a high note, so everyone should take care of their condition.”
With those words, the team members dispersed again.
Well, he wasn’t that mentally weak even before his regression, so I think he’ll overcome this time too.

Kim Jun-seo, an office worker who lives a boring life not much different from others.
Today, as usual, I was browsing through sports sites.
‘Is there any game worth watching today… … .’
There’s nothing more enjoyable than watching a Hunter’s League game while having a beer right after getting off work.
So I turned on NutTube to see if there was a match being broadcasted… … and as expected, there weren’t any matches that I was particularly looking forward to.
Moreover, perhaps because it was Monday, only 3rd division matches were being broadcast, not to mention 1st division matches.
‘Ah… … Something feels missing.’
I wish I could see something today. Instead of pheasant, I wanted to enjoy a game, but today, the empty space in my studio seemed especially large.
Yeah, it was just a whim.
An inexplicable sense of loneliness made him turn on the game. He wanted to fill this quiet silence by playing the game.
It was a match between a team I had never heard of before called PER?
‘Oh… … But for a 3rd division league, there are quite a lot of viewers?’
That wasn’t all. The chat window also had an excited atmosphere.
Although the number of viewers was not large, the excitement was just as intense as that of the first division.
[What do you think this match will be like? Will Snowball Villain be a troll again this time?]
n If the coaching staff watched the game last time, will it be the same this time? If it is this time, then you should coldly consider it as taking money. Lol
N Snowball Villain, aren’t you coming back with something different this time? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ I can’t think of anything more strange than a weapon that just flashes around uselessly and obstructs the opponent’s vision.
Yeah, that’s true lol I admit it
‘Snowball villain? Even in the third part, the player has a nickname… … Does that team have any personal fans?’
I don’t know what it was, but it seemed like something obstructed the opponent’s vision during the game.
Well, I don’t really watch the game anyways, as it only fills the noisy voices while playing, so it doesn’t really have much to do with me.
While I was thinking like that and playing a game on my computer, the game had already passed through the analysis desk, and analysis was being done for each team.
[Caster]: RIX and PER. This match is rumored to be a fun match that cannot be seen in the international league or the first division. It has attracted viewers with just a few matches.
PER has players like Kim Do-jun, who earned the nickname ‘Nunbong Villain’, and Lee Chang-hyun, who has been creating a new legend since his debut.
And RIX, who failed to advance to the 2nd division last time, is still showing off their strength and playing the role of a thorough goalkeeper in the 3rd division. The commentator said this match.
What do you think?
[Commentator]: First of all, this match is expected to be a fierce one as it is a match between the three teams tied for first place in the third division.
In fact, teams of this level are not that far behind teams in the second division, so expectations are high.
[Caster]: Yes, that’s right. More than anything, netizens are saying that it’s a battle between “PER, the spear that can pierce through anything” and “RIX, the shield that can block anything.” What will the match be like?
[Commentator]: In fact, this point seems to be more about the direction of PER than RIX, which has shown a relatively stable performance since last season.

If you can break through the defense made up of RIX’s [Sanctuary] and defensive formation, then PER will go up, otherwise PER will go down.
However, the method of using individual skills with high PER to break through the opposing team like before probably won’t work. Lee Chang-hyun’s sniping or damage that deals a small amount of damage is meaningless in front of [Sanctuary].
In other words, the key will be how much damage bomber tactics can inflict and how they can be launched.
[Caster]: I see! Since it was a hot topic for tracking down opponents like an AI missile, RIX will probably just crouch down to block it… … .
‘Bomber tactics? [Sanctuary]?’
They are third-tier league players, but as a top team, they seem to have their own unique tactics and skills.
Since it was a tactic I had never heard of, I decided to watch the game if I thought something interesting might come up during the game.
‘If you listen to the voice and it looks fun, it might be okay to just watch the game. Fights are fun in their own way, even if they’re just fights over food.’
That’s what I thought.
At this time, I had no idea that I would be completely absorbed in PER’s strange and unique tactics and performance.
***
It’s easy to get confused because the Hunters League is divided into three divisions: Division 3, Division 2, and Division 1, but the three leagues are quite different.
There was no difference at all in the rules of the game or the way the players fought, but one of the biggest variables, the ‘map’, was different.
Among them, considering that the level of hunters in the 3rd league was not high overall, there were almost no special gimmicks or powerful monsters in the map.
Because it was a league that had greater significance in nurturing promising hunters, there were almost no variables on the field (map), which is a variable factor.
So, in fact, you could say that it is essentially a different league from leagues above Division 2.
There is almost no ‘farming stage’ where you can farm items or build up your strength within the game, or ‘mission’ stages such as neutral monsters, capturing bases, or stealing relics, so the game is focused only on physical and team fights.
So, it wasn’t strange for me to think that it would have been easier if it had been a second or first part match.
‘If that were the case, it might have been easier to solve it by using the map’s gimmicks or monsters and using variables of my own, like in the audition program… … .’
Well, let’s put our grumbling aside and focus on the game for now.
“Ms. Lee Yeon-ju. Where is your opponent?”
“They’re all gathering in the 6 o’clock direction. They’re merging faster than our team, so I don’t think we can bomb them before they assemble.”
Well, it’s a shame, but it was somewhat expected that they wouldn’t be able to stop the formation.
“Our team will assemble between 6 and 7 o’clock. Let’s set up an ambush nearby so that we can move in right after a bombing run.”
Since the opponent was not a team that used ambushes or grappling techniques, and just formed a formation and clashed head-on, there were no major clashes while the team members gathered.
All members of the PER team gathered on the rooftop of a not-so-tall building.
“Is the relative position still the same?”
“Yes. It looks like he’s not moving and is waiting for us to come.”
‘Well, since the skill [Sanctuary] itself is so strong in battles where you have to decide on a battlefield, the opponent would know that not moving is the right answer.’
“Everyone knows the plan, right? It’s not much different from the previously assumed situation, so let’s go with that. Count down the bombs from 5 seconds before they land.”
“yes.”
Everyone seemed quite nervous, as the difficulty of this game depended on how effective the bombing was.
The roadside view from the building we are located in.
From above, I made a gesture, and five swords carrying mana bombers headed towards the center of Team RIX’s shield formation.
But suddenly, something felt strange.
‘No, even though the [Sanctuary] skill increases regenerative power to an incredible degree, they’re forming a formation in such an open area without any intention of taking it down or stopping it?’
Of course, he is holding a shield, but since Yoon Han-gyeol controls the sword, it would explode in a place where the shield cannot completely block it.
In addition, although this has actually been used several times in past games, entering sealed buildings is one of the best ways to reduce the number of Mana Bombers that can be hit.
But RIX’s formation wasn’t even like that. It felt like they were going to fight after receiving all five Mana Bombers.
‘No matter how strong the truth is, there’s no reason to do that… … .’
Feeling that sense of alienation, I instantly searched through the skills of the seven RIX team members with [Piercing Eyes], and I could see why RIX did that.
“Yoon Han-gyeol! Stop!”
However, it was too late to stop the swords that had already gained momentum and were flying, and the swords equipped with PER’s mana bombers struck RIX in an instant.
