072. Focused Practice
“Even if you’re so bad at it, why do you think you can beat someone as good as me?”
“No, at best, he’s just a kid who just started his third season… … ”
“Hey… … Hey. Let’s just go.”
One guy noticed me and stopped me from getting angry.
But the guy was really angry and didn’t back down easily. He seemed to be backing down, but then turned around and opened his mouth again.
“They just debuted and are on a winning streak, so I think they’ll keep on winning. Tsk. But what can I do? Not only won’t they win any more, they won’t even make it to the second division. Hey. Let’s go.”
Just as I was about to answer, I backed down after saying those words.
Well… … it would have been fun if we had interacted more.
Judging from the way he spoke appropriately and kept his mouth shut, it seemed like he knew very well that one-on-one conversations with me were no good.
Usually, when hunters pick a fight like this, they end up clashing at least once.
If you look at the way he pulled out even after being hit first, it’s 100% true.
Anyway, they say that the kids who have nothing are the noisiest.
On the other hand, looking at those guys who are trying to get me out, I also had this thought.
‘I’m only aiming for the second part now, but I think I’ve become somewhat famous.’
Or maybe, even if it’s rotten, it’s still a good match, and he may be aware of the gap between himself and his opponent to some extent, to the point where he’s at least at the level of a second-tier player.
By the way, although it does feel bad, what they said overall wasn’t terribly wrong.
Looking at the power of PER that I knew before and the play of the team members that I observed in ‘Hunter Survival’ today…
Although it was easy for me to beat those guys individually, it seemed difficult for our team to beat their team.
At that moment, Lee Yeon-ju’s hunter survival screen was shown beyond the screen.
‘Lee Yeon-ju must be having a particularly hard time… … .’
A supporter in the back who gives out locations to snipe enemies and restrains them from a distance.
To survive in that kind of survival game, you’ll have to be pretty smart.
Lee Yeon-ju also knew that she was weak in one-on-one combat, so she used her location-finding skills to find places where her opponents were absent and looked for ‘relics’ to gain an advantage.
And soon after, he discovered something glowing in a hole in the tree, and put his hand into the hole… … .
Push -.
The moment I put my hand in the hole.
Suddenly, the grass behind Yeonju Lee shifted and Inyoung appeared, stabbing Yeonju Lee in the back.
“… … !”
Lee Yeon-ju was out without even being able to say a word.
‘You must have been very embarrassed.’
Especially since you’ve never been attacked or assassinated before due to your ability to locate other people.
However, that was only in the limited circumstances of the third division, and now that we are moving up, we have to realize that there is no such thing as an ‘absolute’.
The higher you go, the more products of the tower have various abilities. Depending on the ‘relic’, ‘unusual phenomenon’ occurring on the map, or ‘superpower compatibility’, the situation where you thought you had the upper hand can easily be overturned.
‘Of course, it’s not just that… … It’s also because I was simply too weak.’
Even if I hadn’t noticed that person, or even if Yoon Han-gyeol had been there, I wouldn’t have been assassinated so easily.
Until now, our team has fought with special team tactics and teamwork to cover up the weaknesses and immaturity of each individual, but now we can’t get through it with that alone.
At the point when we knew that our team preferred a team fight tactic, there was a high possibility that the opponent would try to single-handedly defeat us right from the start.
In Part 3, Lee Yeon-ju was able to avoid the opponent and join the group using her abilities, but as we just saw in Hunter Survival, it will be difficult to completely overcome her now.
That is, in future matches, each player must be guaranteed a minimum level of individual skill.
The minimum practice for that was ‘Hunter Survival’.
‘… … I guess that’s fortunate. But it’s not that the whole thing is that serious.’
As time passed and the map became increasingly narrower, most of PER’s team members were eliminated from the beginning, but there were still a few who remained.
Han Ji-soo, who has been positioned right in the center of the map since the beginning, quickly uses his gravity ability to dig a hole and hides perfectly.
And Yoon Han-gyeol, who was able to overcome the situation based on his personal strength that was comparable to that of players in the upper leagues. There were two of them.
Of course, those two were also good members of the PER team, but they were eliminated after some time.
Yoon Han-gyeol, who was engaging in a one-on-one fight by swinging multiple swords, fought so loudly that he attracted a lot of attention and was eventually defeated.
Han Ji-soo is out with a mana bomber placed in a pit by an enemy explorer who noticed her hiding.
‘Well, I guess he thought he fought well with his own good tactics… … .’
Because in Hunter Survival and Hunter’s League, where all sorts of things happen, it was very predictable.
It was easily seen through and out.
Is this it for now?
After one round of Hunter Survival, most of the members’ areas of improvement and future direction began to show.
Now it was time for the real beginning.
***
After one round of ‘Hunter Survival’, the hall filled with people became noisy again.
‘Hunter Survival did not have a regular league, but it had a ranked score system and the matches of top players were broadcast, so it attracted quite a lot of viewers and became a hot topic.
“You’ve learned so much from Changhyun, and now you’re robbing him?”
Yoon Han-gyeol sighed as he looked at Kim Do-jun.
… … For your information, Kim Do-jun flashed a shining sword in Hunter Survival, but was shot and eliminated in an instant.
“That’s because of that cowardly long-range dealer who snipes. Did you know there could be someone who does it so poorly?”
Well… … To be honest, the reason Yoon Han-gyeol and Kim Do-jun died was the same, so in my eyes, they were just like that.
But perhaps the difference is that Yoon Han-gyeol, who inevitably becomes flashy when fighting with multiple swords, is a little better than Kim Do-jun, who is flashy and blatant.
“Anyway, now that you’ve tried it once, you should have a rough idea of what’s lacking. Starting with the second round, including the promotion and relegation matches, ‘getting together’ itself isn’t as easy as it is now.”
“Can’t you just give me the location preview like you did before?”
Lee Yeon-ju shook her head at that question.
You probably just felt like a hunter survivalist and wondered why I’m saying this.
“Actually… … I’ve felt this a little bit before, but when you hide using relics or skills, there are often times when you can’t figure out the location… … .”

“That would definitely be a problem.”
It may be difficult to even use team-based tactics or surprise strategies that have strengths like before.
If you come at an opponent with an assassination position or a one-on-one kill strategy, you’ll get your arms and legs cut off without being able to do anything.
“So what do we do?”
“Don’t you get it yet? It’s survival training.”
It seemed that only after hearing those words did the PER team members gradually realize the meaning of my words. And the reason why they had just done Hunter Survival.
And, the direction of future practice.
“We’ll take turns practicing one-on-one survival with me. During that time, the rest of you will practice being the last survivor in Hunter Survival.”
Yes, the way out is simple.
If you can last a while by practicing against me, you should be able to last even longer against those guys in the second division.
***
PER’s coach… … but in reality, Jong-gyu Lee, who is supporting Chang-hyeon Lee, was reminiscing while telling the Hunter Association’s president, Geun-taek Lee, about what happened today.
The team practice manual suddenly changed. The PER team members’ hunter survival. And Lee Chang-hyun’s 1:1 private lesson…
It was mainly a practice of surviving Lee Chang-hyun in various randomly designated maps, surviving to a designated point, and escaping.
“Will this kind of exercise… … work? I honestly don’t know.”
“Kk kk… … Hunter Survival. What an interesting choice.”
“It may be a survival training game, but in the end, Hunter Survival is fundamentally a different game from Hunter’s League.”
“Do you really think so?”
When Lee Geun-taek raised his head from looking down, a glint of light appeared in his eyes.
Lee Jong-gyu, who was momentarily intimidated, was speechless for a moment, and Lee Geun-taek continued speaking.
“Yes, you’re right. Hunter’s League and Hunter Survival are fundamentally different. In fact, the players who perform at the top of each game are different. The supernatural powers that are advantageous are also different. The tactics used are also quite different.”
“But why… … .”
When those words came out, Lee Geun-taek burst into laughter. Lee Jong-gyu was in a situation where he had no idea what was going on.
“You haven’t changed at all since before. Haven’t I told you that over and over again?
“Outward and detailed tactics are ultimately just the difference between the two, but the most important part is not the detailed tactics, but the more essential part. What could be there?”
“Um… … If that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be superpowers? Depending on the superpower, the battle pattern and tactics change a lot.”
“No, more primal.”
“Then… … combat skills?”
Lee Geun-taek smiled brightly.
“Yeah, well. It’s not perfect, but it’s somewhat true. The Hunter’s League is ultimately a game about defeating your opponent. The maps, the superpowers, the use of relics. It’s all for that purpose.
So, the most basic and fundamental thing in this game is to hit your own attacks and avoid your opponent’s attacks.”
Lee Jong-gyu was honestly a bit taken aback when he heard that. Well, what is so obvious about such words…
If you hit them all and dodge them all, you’ll win. I thought, “Did you really leave me with this bait to say something like that?”
“That’s the biggest fundamental of this game. You could say it’s a kind of fundamental, a basic weight class. At this point, how about going back to the Hunter Survival story?”
‘… … !’
Only after hearing those words did Lee Jong-gyu feel like the puzzle was starting to fall into place in his head.
The weakest part of the team right now is before the team all comes together. Each person has to break through the opponent and join their teammates.
And the part where you practice in Hunter Survival is exactly the same as the ‘Hunter’s League stage before gathering with team members’.
Not only that, if each player’s skills improve and their survival ability to better avoid the opponent’s threatening attacks improves, it will definitely not have a negative effect on the team’s weight class.
No, I actually thought that it would be much more helpful to practice only your weaknesses than doing Hunter’s League practice matches.
“It’s rare for a rookie to use a variety of events to awaken a fundamental sense of combat… … A promotion match might be fun.”
Lee Geun-taek stroked his beard and fell into thought.
The reason why he didn’t raise his team properly even though he owned the 3rd team PER.
The biggest reason was that it was thought that it would be difficult to promote third-division players to a higher league.
‘Actually, there hasn’t been a single lower league team that won a promotion or relegation match in the past five years. So… So what, Lee Chang-hyun?
Will you guys be able to successfully achieve the team promotion that even I gave up on? Or… … will you just end up relegated to the third division?’
It seemed like I wouldn’t be bored for a while.
Come on, let’s meet up sometime.
A smile appeared on Lee Geun-taek’s lips without him realizing it.
