Return of the Genius Player Chapter 71

071. My kids swear at me, but I swear at them.

worst.

I don’t think there are any words more appropriate for my current situation as a director.

The team is ranked 2nd from the bottom, so they have to participate in the 2nd and 3rd division promotion match.

Ace team members are already looking into contract terms elsewhere in order to transfer to another team.

‘It’s a total mess.’

Even if you roughly handle the promotion/relegation battles, there are only a few cases where the second division loses, but it was too bad when thinking about the next season.

“Oh. Right. Director, have you seen this?”

The data file that the coach handed over was none other than yesterday’s match of the 1st division LTD. It was the match that was quite a hot topic on NutTube highlights.

It was a hot topic, to the point where you could guess what it was about without even watching it.

“I know, roughly… But why that? Why should we use that for our promotion match? The kids’ motivation is at rock bottom, so if you tell them to do something new, they’ll do it.”

“No, Coach, that’s not it. It was mentioned in the LTD coach’s interview that the original creator of that tactic was a third division team that was our opponent in the promotion match.”

“… … ?”

If it’s the 3rd division, they’re probably newbies who just entered the Hunters League. So they used this tactic?

The feeling of doubt was fleeting, and my head started to feel dizzy again.

‘Ah… … This won’t do… … .’

Even though the overall team situation is a mess, the third division is fundamentally different from the second division.

So, after roughly preparing for the relegation battle and finishing the season, I have to spend time managing team member contracts, recruiting promising players, and learning tactics for the new season… … .

If we continue to develop new tactics like that even before the promotion, it will be quite tiring.

“What kind of team is this? Did you just happen to find it while fiddling around with various things?”

If that tactic were all there was, there would have been no reason not to prepare a countermeasure.

That kind of thing is only scary when it comes out as a surprise tactic. If you prepare thoroughly, there’s nothing you can’t deal with.

“That’s… … I don’t think that’s right. I looked up some videos just in case, and they do a lot of weird stuff.”

The coach handed over the power analysis file and video he had prepared as if he had been waiting for it.

“Hmm… … There are certainly a lot of unique things.”

The tactical diversity of Hanta is honestly astounding.

However, it wasn’t as powerful as the combo of the shining sword and invisible cloak that was the talk of the town on Nuttube.

‘Phew… … That’s a relief.’

If there had been just one more tactic that was that deadly, it might have taken quite a bit of time to prepare for the promotion.

But, thankfully, after watching this match video, all those worries disappeared.

“But still, to this extent, the kids will probably be a little more alert, and I think we can go about our business as usual.”

“Um… … Is that so? I guess I was a little worried. But I can’t not prepare, so I’ll gather the kids together and set up some practice matches.”

“Okay, let’s do that. Okay.”

After the coach left the manager’s office, I felt a sense of silence, so I played a video of the game of that team from the 3rd division league that I had mentioned earlier… PER, I think.

‘Well… … you’re doing pretty well.’

But still, no matter what video I watched, I didn’t think it would be a threat in the promotion battle.

Well, since in the third part, there was nothing but fighting at best, it was natural to use team fight tactics cleverly.

Part 2, which is said to be the beginning of the real Hunter’s League, includes variables such as ‘map and terrain’, variables such as the newly introduced ‘farming process’, and variables such as the ‘threat of neutral monsters’…

Honestly, I would have liked to see it as a completely different game.

‘Has it been 5 years for nothing? It’s not like there weren’t any teams that were promoted from the 3rd to the 2nd division. Well, this year too, I guess I’ll have to focus on regulating the kids rather than fighting the relegation battles.’

Thinking back, I was incredibly tired of the guys who were making a fuss about finding a better team because they fell to 9th place.

***

The schedule for the lift has been set.

‘Two weeks later… … ‘

It wasn’t much different from usual, but as expected, the time available was too short compared to the things I had to prepare.

“Why? Isn’t two weeks enough? Don’t the second division kids play about four times a week?”

“That’s true, but… … .”

There was a big difference in the amount of preparation that they and we had to make.

Parts 2 and 3 were so different that they were almost like different games.

As in Part 3, team fights and skirmishes between Hunters are key, but there were many more factors that caused variables.

The difference in pros and cons between the second and third division players, who are already somewhat familiar with it, is honestly very stark.

‘If you think about it, even before the regression, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team from a lower league advance to the 1st or 2nd division promotion or relegation match, let alone the 2nd or 3rd division promotion or relegation match.’

Of course, the 3rd division team I played for also failed to win the promotion/relegation match against the 2nd division team.

So, of course, I didn’t go through the relegation playoffs, but got called up to a higher league team and moved to that team…

Now that I think about it, it seems almost impossible for the entire team to advance to the second or first division through the relegation match.

I don’t know if he knew my thoughts or not… … The team’s situation was so lively that it was almost chaotic.

“Hey Kim Do-jun, I also got something that shines like you.”

“Tsk tsk… Do you think it’ll work if you just write it without thinking?”

“Yeah, I write much better than you do~.”

There was no fuss or commotion behind the scenes about each other making eye contact, so I didn’t have a single ounce of awareness.

On the other hand, there were some guys who were able to think a little.

“Aren’t you worrying too much? Why don’t you just study the map and do what you usually do…? …? In the end, if you win the fight, you win.”

At first, Lee Gil-han, who had been suffering from defeat, spoke confidently, perhaps gaining some confidence after winning all of his matches in the third division.

But do you even know how many different types of maps there are before you say something like that? The Hunter’s League maps aren’t something you can just study in a hurry.

“That’s right, Changhyun. You seem to be worrying too much. If you prepare as hard as you have so far, there won’t be any problems, right?”

Yoon Han-gyeol, who had infinite confidence in victory, also added a word.

Well, I thought that since I had never experienced a second division league or a promotion/relegation match, I had nothing to worry about.

If you experienced it even once, you would come to your senses.

Even Kim Do-jun, Yoon Han-gyeol, and Han Ji-soo seem to be confident because they have experienced various maps and tactics on audition programs…

‘You can’t really compare that to the Hunter’s League… … .’

First of all, in a situation where people are being so unilaterally optimistic, it was necessary to let people feel the difference directly.

“What… … Well… … No matter how much I talk, what would you understand? Let’s go for now. Let’s go and get beaten up in the stadium so you can come to your senses.”

Even as I was saying this, Kim Do-jun and other guys were flashing each other and arguing.

I had a feeling that I wasn’t sure if these words would even enter my ears.

Can I modify these in two weeks… …?

***

It was the Hunter Union Training Center that I visited again after a long time. In fact, there wasn’t much use for the various facilities during the season.

Because we usually only use the stadium for practice matches against teams in the same league as us.

Unless you need individual practice, have some spare time, play ranked matches, or do some special practice.

The facilities used every day were almost the same.

Meanwhile, the place I visited with my PER team members today was the waiting room in the spacious hall of the Hunter Union Training Center.

‘Hunter Survival… … Is this the first time since returning?’

Although it is quite popular among the general public, it has not been played much in the past as it is not a regular event in the Hunters League.

The Hunters League program, which is organized as a regular league, does not have any individual matches, and even the survival matches are organized into groups of three, so most players do not have many opportunities to experience these individual matches.

“Eh… …? Weren’t we supposed to be practicing as a team today? Why are we suddenly having Hunter Survival?”

“That’s right. What we lacked was maps or tactics… wasn’t it something like that?”

Some team members raised questions.

Well, actually, most of them are reasonable questions. But you will experience it yourself, so there is no need to explain it in detail.

“Well. Just experience it for yourself.”

First of all, I planned to show a bitter taste to those who had become complacent because they had made great strides in the third season.

Soon, all PER team members except me were summoned from the waiting room to the ‘Hunter Survival’ field.

‘Well, the basic rules themselves aren’t difficult… ‘

When you first start, you choose a point you want to start at, and then survive until the end. It was a very simple rule.

But to this intuitive rule, there are some additional rules that can provide some variables.

The map gradually narrows down so that you can’t just hide in one place without fighting.

In addition, there are “relics” hidden throughout the area, and finding them can give you a great advantage in PvP combat.

In other words, it is an intuitive game where survival is the ultimate goal, but it also gives you an advantage when you move around and farm, so you are encouraged to continuously survive until only one person remains.

Well… … In addition to that, there are various variables such as maps taken from the various environments of the tower, neutral monsters, etc., but that ultimately does not amount to the essence of this game.

‘Then let’s take a look and see if you’re doing well.’

The point of observation here is the ability to deal with a “given situation.”

Our team, which had been in the 3rd division for a while, couldn’t plan out strategic directions for each map in advance like the 2nd division teams.

Survival, dealing with unfamiliar maps, and dealing with unexpected relics and neutral monsters.

We need to develop ‘basic coping skills’ to deal with all of that.

As I was thinking that and looking at each person in the waiting room, I heard a voice from the side.

“Huh… …? Aren’t they them?”

“Them?”

“Those are the kids from Division 3 that were supposed to be our team’s opponents.”

“Did you even look into that? Your fortune is good. The kids are already negotiating their salaries and talking about other teams’ conditions.”

A gangster-looking man with blond hair said with a smile.

“Oh, I didn’t look it up myself, but it was a hot topic on Nuttube. They said that the LTD game that was recently talked about was based on their tactics. That’s why I found out about it after seeing the Nuttube Rekka.”

“Ah… … That? But they’re from the third division, so is there really any need to worry about that? The director will take care of that.”

“That’s true. But those guys are really bad.”

Beyond the screen, Lee Gil-han was being beaten by the opposing hunter without even being able to say anything.

Lee Gil-han looked straight at his opponent and tried to charge at him, but the nimble hunter caught him from behind with flashy movements like a bullfighter and cut him down in one go.

Well, unlike the Hunter’s League, there were players from not only the 3rd division, but also the 2nd and 1st divisions, so differences in individual skills were inevitable.

But that’s that… … .

‘Are you insulting my kids in front of me?’

No matter how much they are X-food and how bad they are as dogs, they are still kids I taught who made history in the Korean Hunters League.

“It’s definitely dog-like.”

The guys from the second division who were talking to me without knowing I was there looked at me because of my sudden remark.

“… … .”

A dumb look on his face like, “Who is this?”

“… … .”

His expression began to frown, but then changed after a while, so I guess he knew who I was.

“however.”

“Even if you’re so bad at it, why do you think you can beat them?”
