Return of the Genius Player Chapter 76

076. Do you dare steal tactics?

‘What happened to X?’

No matter how much I thought about it, it was the worst scenario I could imagine.

No matter how much the opponent was defeated individually, I thought the battle would be led mainly by small-scale engagements, but it was unexpected that such an extreme map would appear.

According to my original plan, my goal was to use the survival skills and abilities I learned through ‘Hunter Survival’ to survive as long as possible until the Hanta stage.

‘but…….’

If things were like this, even that might be difficult.

This map, nicknamed the ‘Space Station’ among players, has no team fight phase at all, and most games end in small skirmishes.

Fortunately, from what I heard through the earphones, it seemed like no one was eliminated right away.

“Nothing has happened yet.”

“Me too. First of all, we’re in a large spaceship-like interior… … Would it be better to go outside to join them?”

Is it because I’ve been doing only individual battles in Hunter Survival recently?

A somewhat chaotic atmosphere could be felt through the earphones.

“Are you listening? Everyone, focus.”

Now was the time to not just leave it alone, but to give orders and provide direction according to the map.

‘I can’t help you with direct combat, but fortunately, it’s not an unfamiliar map, so it’s not difficult to adjust the characteristics and tactical direction.’

Calmly decide what course of action the guys should take now.

“Don’t even think about going outside until you’re sure there’s no one inside.

Opening the door from the inside is noisy and takes a long time.

The first policy is to survive inside the spaceship.

“I think we’re going to do a hunter survival game inside the spaceship we’re in now. Okay?”

“huh…….”

“So are you completely abandoning the survival and then joining strategy we talked about before?”

“for now.”

Given the map, sticking to the original tactics was a surefire way to ruin.

All you can do is make as many corrections as possible on the spot.

“… … So, you’re essentially fighting your opponent in a one-on-one match?”

A voice came cautiously from the earphones.

It seemed like he was bewildered by the sudden 180-degree change in situation.

The team members also knew that there were many players with relatively weak fighting ability in PER, so they knew that they could easily be defeated individually, as I said before.

And that thought was correct.

‘Even in this situation, we must not engage in individual battles… … .’

If you do that, half of the PER team members will be destroyed by the opponent.

“Except for Dojun and Hankyul, they focus on buying time rather than winning against their opponents.

The basic strategy is that while the PER team members are wasting time, the three of us first defeat our enemies individually, and then join forces to defeat the opponents. Simple, right?”

It is not impossible for non-combatants like Lee Yeon-ju to find relics or dig traps to catch their opponents.

However, the opponent is in a situation where everything is specialized for individual combat.

I don’t know about enduring, but it’s not good to order them to fight blindly.

That’s why Kim Do-jun and Yoon Han-gyeol have a relatively high chance of defeating their 2nd division opponents 1-on-1.

And it would be ideal for me to finish the fight with my opponent as quickly as possible and then go help the rest.

‘I don’t know if that will work out, but… … .’

“Ms. Yeonju, please brief the team members on their locations and share them with them.”

That’s all I can give you for now. For the rest, you have to trust in the training you’ve done over the past week.

I can’t say that I’ve mastered everything, or that I fully understand the hidden meaning behind those words.

Almost every essential and important concept that runs through the Hunter’s League has been touched on at least once.

How much of it you digested. That will be the watershed of victory.

As I was thinking that, a clear sound of a sword striking was heard from behind.

‘Baldo… …!’

I immediately threw myself forward and rolled on the spot.

Crunch -.

The spaceship’s equipment that had been in its original location was cut lengthwise.

“Kikki. What a shame.”

“I left it alone because you said you’d take care of it all at once, but it’s ruined. What am I going to do?”

The person who appeared behind Lee Chang-hyun was none other than the guy from SMB who had an argument with me while watching Hunter Survival last time.

‘Are there just these two guys? Or… … .’

Well, I guess it’s a good thing.

If there is one more person here, the burden on the other team members will be reduced.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. The director said. You can take your time and enjoy it. And it’s two on one. Or, hey, should I make it one on one?”

“?”

“If you say, ‘I’m in the third division, and I’m sorry for bothering the seniors in the second division,’ then they might be able to do it one-on-one.”

A SMB team member who was listening from the side giggled in disbelief when he heard that.

To be honest, it was a bit of a refreshing experience for me.

Starting from the second part, when the importance of small-scale engagements, not just single-player battles, increased, conversations between players like this often took place.

‘Before the regression, there were a few interesting episodes because of this.’

Compared to those memories of the past, this conversation was too low-level.

A provocation of such a crude level that it is not even worth responding to.

There’s something I always say to those guys during games.

“X it.”

‘Two second division leaguers… … ‘

A situation that would have made others worry actually made me laugh.

Well, since I haven’t had any real fights lately, I guess I just thought it was fun.

‘I rather like it.’

Lately, I’ve been busy training my teammates, so I haven’t really had a chance to fight properly.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I ever neglected my training.

Mostly, I just did simple, consistent exercises to bring my status up to the limit… … .

As the limits are obvious, there is no growth area that is as intuitive and efficient for a hunter as status.

[Strength: 6 -> 7]

[Reaction speed: 7.3 -> 9.4]

[Flexibility: 6.6 -> 8.0]

[Stamina: 6.6 -> 7.8]

[Regeneration: 5 ->7]

[Mana amount: 7.6 -> 8.1]

Moreover, since it was still receiving the growth adjustments for the [Full Bloom] skill, it was safe to say that its level was changing from moment to moment.

‘And that difference in status… … isn’t just about being faster and stronger.’

It was like unlocking various play styles for me, who had been limited by my lack of physical strength despite having sufficient experience.

That is why the difference was bound to be overwhelmingly evident in the individual exhibitions held recently.

“Whoaap!”

After their first attack failed, the two men began to attack together.

A guy who uses long swordsmanship, and a guy who uses a dagger to find an opening.

‘One is a close range dealer type and one is an assassin type.’

You probably equipped the air dash considering the short-term battle, so you’ll have to be careful about approaching them in an instant.

Other than that, if you anticipate your opponent’s play with [Piercing Eyes: S(S+)], the battle will progress perfectly.

Once again, one of the SMB guys strikes.

Instead of dodging backwards, bend your waist backwards as if in limbo and dodge downwards while doing a backflip.

– [Master of Drawing Swords: B+]: You become more skilled and faster at attacks using the sword, and the range of the sword you can reach when drawing the sword increases.

‘The range of the sword that can be struck when drawn increases… … .’

It’s a good skill to catch enemies off guard by confusing their attack range.

But if you know this, you can just avoid going up or down like you are doing now.

And at the same time as doing a backflip, he slashes the empty back with the sword that was transformed into a magical weapon as if flowing water.

– [Ambush: A]: Teleports behind the opponent.

Because it was obvious what kind of opening a dagger user with that kind of skill would exploit, and the timing for exploiting that opening.

While I was fighting, the SMB dagger guy appeared at that exact spot and one of my arms was blown off.

“It’s so obvious.”

“… … .”

They looked flustered as their desperate measures did not work.

But, interestingly enough… …the guy smiled even while biting his lip.

“What? It’s obvious? How far do you think that leisure will go?”

Oh… … It seemed like he had prepared more. However, I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes at the action he took right after those words.

The bastard’s sword glowed, so I thought there was something special about it that I didn’t know about, but seeing as he even activated the Invisible Cloak…

‘no way……’

Without even being able to hide my expression, I found myself making a face of disgust.

How did the prediction not go astray?

That’s what Kim Do-jun did in the last RIX match.

“You are now behind.”

The guy snickered and tried to join forces again, but… … .

I put on the goggles on my head, activated [Piercing Eyes: S(S+)], and changed my weapon back to a gun.

As expected, thanks to the skill, the figure of the guy wearing the Invisible Cloak was clearly visible even with the goggles on.

The sight of the guy boldly jumping forward to perform his swordsmanship.

Bang! Ta-tang!

It can accurately shoot moving targets, but it was impossible to not kill a guy who was sticking his head out at such close range in one shot.

dump.

[SMB Team Lee Je-Hyeon dies]

[SMB Team Oh Jin-hwan dies]

“Huh, this isn’t stupid or anything… … .”

Did I really think I would get into this? I honestly don’t know.

‘Ah… … But now that I think about it, it’s okay for me, but what if the other SMB guys who are fighting our team could use this too?’

I wondered if the kids would be able to handle it. I was especially worried about Kim Do-jun and Yoon Han-gyeol, who had to go up against their opponents directly and win or at least make it half and half.

***

[Caster: Oh… …! As the commentator said, it seems like everyone started fighting while scattered. PER’s captain, Lee Chang-hyun, started fighting SMB’s two players.]

[Commentator: This often happens on maps where small-scale skirmishes are forced due to the nature of Hunter’s League, where players respawn in random locations. It would be nice if there were a map where you could avoid fights, but… ]

‘I guess I can’t avoid this map.’

Lee Geun-taek thought as he read the commentary. It was a map he knew very well, as he was the one who climbed the tower himself.

Actually, I wasn’t that worried about that.

He was a guy with a natural talent that he himself acknowledged. Whether it was the 2nd or 1st division, it was hard to imagine that he would be inferior in individual skills in the face-to-face matches.

However, I was curious.

‘Six months since that audition program… … ‘

If it was long, it was long, if it was short, it was short. I wondered how much that guy had grown.

At that time, Lee Chang-hyun was honestly not good enough to fight Lee Geun-taek head-on without variables.

So what about Lee Chang-hyun now?

While Lee Chang-hyun was still unaware of the situation on the screen, a member of the SMB team who had been hiding activated the invisible cloak and made an ambush.

‘Baldo… … ‘

It was a faster attack than simply swinging a sword. However, Lee Chang-hyun dodged it without much difficulty.

The only omen was the sound of a sword being drawn, but if he completely avoided it, he must have predicted the opponent’s attack trajectory and moved his body reflexively.

The feeling is alive.

[Commentator: Oh… … Player Lee Chang-hyun! This was a difficult attack to avoid, but he dodges it gracefully.]

[Oh lol, he avoids that. He was really good at stabbing people in the back of the head in part 2, even though it wasn’t much of a big deal.]

N yeah~ The foot is also a one-tool. Cut the foot wrap~

ㄴ I watched part 3 too, and he’s no ordinary guy lol

(lol) I’m so excited that I’m reciting it to myself even though no one cares.

Then, SMB player and Lee Chang-hyun were caught exchanging a few words, but the fight soon resumed.

‘A combination of a melee dealer skilled in swordsmanship and an assassin… ‘

If you think about the Lee Chang-hyeon of the past that Lee Geun-taek recalls, he would not be an easy opponent.

It was great back then, of course, but considering the guy’s speed and agility, it could have been a hassle.

But, that thought was fleeting.

‘You’ve grown up.’

Lee Chang-hyun dodged the attack with acrobatic ease and used his skill to instantly cut down the assassin who had come from behind.

An attack that completely anticipated the movement, rather than reacting to it.

Clearly, there must be something in his eyes that is not visible to others.

[Caster: Lee Chang-hyun breaks down the threatening joint attack of both players!

I completely predicted the opponent’s movement path using his skill and cut him down before he could do anything!!]

It seemed like the hot heat from these netizens and commentators was being transmitted to Lee Geun-taek’s body.

But what was even more interesting was the next part.

[Oh my gosh, this time SMB is imitating Kim Do-jun?]

n PER’s own team’s tactics are like a dog’s destruction lol

But, if it’s their tactic, do you think it will work?

Yeah, we can use herbal tactics too~

ㄴ But if I get caught doing that, I’ll be really embarrassed.

As the SMB team member’s sword flashed, it was the transparent tactic of the previous PER being used.

but…….

Bang! Ta-tang!

Somehow, Lee Chang-hyun was able to accurately hit the heads of SMB players wearing invisible cloaks without any problems even while wearing goggles with sunglasses.

Lee Chang-hyun’s mouth was close-up.

“X rice cut.”

And at that moment, the chat window exploded.
