077. Each’s fight
“X rice cut.”
Whether it was caught by an observer or not, Lee Chang-hyun was shown in a close-up during the highlight replay, and the shape of his mouth was clearly visible.
Of course, the official commentators and casters never said that.
[Caster: No!!!! Lee Chang-hyun. What the hell just happened? The two SMB players who were trying to attack together fell at once!]
[Commentator: Amazing… … Judging from Lee Chang-hyun’s reflexes, he must have been able to quickly predict his opponent’s movements and aim for them before they became invisible and it became difficult to completely predict their location… … ]
The replay showed a highlight scene in slow motion where Lee Chang-hyun dodged his opponent with a somersault and accurately shot each hidden opponent with his dual pistols using his invisible cloak.
It didn’t end there, the screen continued to each team’s waiting room.
Did SMB’s manager and coaching staff figure out what Lee Chang-hyun was saying just by looking at his lips?
He was frowning deeply. On the other hand, the PER coach was smiling brightly, a stark contrast.
And lastly, the reactions of netizens who did not necessarily need to filter Lee Chang-hyun’s ‘that remark’ were naturally extreme.
[No, did you guys just see Lee Chang-hyun’s mouth shape?.gif]
N ‘X rice cut’ kekekekekekekekekeke
N Seriously, looking at the shape of your mouth, it’s exactly the same ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Wow, this is just crazy. Is this how it’s going to be?
n The limit of the footsteps = If you avoid the footsteps, you can’t do anything lol
The response was so great that it went up so quickly that it was hard to even read the entire chat window.
Lee Geun-taek couldn’t help but feel happy at that sight.
But soon, he held back the corners of his lips from going up and thought again.
‘It’s true that it’s a good start… … but if I thought I could win the relegation match because I had one outstanding player, I would have thought of running the PER like that and promoting them to a higher league.
Now, what are the other guys going to do, Lee Chang-hyun?’
In fact, not much different from Lee Geun-taek’s thoughts, Lee Chang-hyun did not have much mana left at the moment due to the use of the magic engineering weapon transformation and the piercing eye skill.
You could try to join by finding relics at your current location, but that would only delay the joining process further.
And this thought was not just Lee Geun-taek’s.
[Narrator: Not even a few minutes after it started, a wonderful video like a mad movie appeared.
If PER wins this game and the MVP is chosen, I think it will be Lee Chang-hyun.
[Caster: That’s right! But it’s still early in the game. What about the other side?]
[Commentator: That’s right. In fact, that’s the problem with PER that analysts initially predicted. There are a few players with excellent PER, but on average, it’s too weak.
That’s what it was, I’ll move to the observer right away to see what the other side is like.]

“I’m done. Is there anything wrong? I’ll join you at your location first.”
Lee Chang-hyun’s voice came through Team PER’s earphones. But, interestingly enough, no one answered right away.
Still, after a brief silence, a sound was heard.
“Haa… … Haa… … I think I can do it.”
Yoon Han-gyeol was breathing heavily, but he didn’t seem to be in a state where he needed to ask for help.
Starting with Yoon Han-gyeol, there was talk of this and that, but Lee Yeon-ju didn’t say a word until the end.
Looking at the team status, it’s not out yet…
At that moment, while Lee Chang-hyun was wondering what to do about his first destination, a tapping sound was heard from Lee Yeon-ju’s microphone.
At those words, Lee Chang-hyun hesitated for a few seconds and then answered the voice through his earphones.
“A situation that is difficult to answer?”
Lee Chang-hyun spoke again as the ticking sound spread through the earphones.
“I’ll set my first destination as Yeonju. But since it basically takes a long time to join, it might be better for others not to expect too much. But I’ll hold out as long as I can. Got it?”
“I get it.”
There were replies here and there to Lee Chang-hyun’s words. But the communication did not turn off again… …
It was because of Kim Do-jun’s next words.
“I’ll knock you down soon and join you, so if anyone else is having a hard time, let me know.”
Surprisingly, no one answered those words, as if they had made a promise.
***
From the sounds I heard, it seemed like Lee Chang-hyun had easily defeated all of his opponents on the same spaceship.
‘Even though not much time has passed… … .’
It was indeed Chang-Hyeon. I felt strongly once again that my eyes were not deceived.
On the other hand, to be honest, this side was struggling even though I said it was okay earlier.
The narrow corridors of the spaceship make it difficult to swing a sword freely.
Yoon Han-gyeol was fighting an opponent there.
Shhhhh.
‘How many daggers are there anyway…?’
Unlike Yoon Han-gyeol, who had difficulty using his sword freely due to the limitations of the narrow environment, his opponent threw his dagger as if he was shooting bullets, as if he had a weapon duplication skill.
That wasn’t all. Each and every dagger thrown flashed like Kim Do-jun’s sword, making it difficult to open one’s eyes without wearing sunglasses.
The guy there was also not visible as he was wearing an invisible cloak.
In this tactic, I was in a position like Lee Chang-hyun where I had to clear out the opponent as quickly as possible and go rescue other team members.
But in his current state, he couldn’t even properly approach his opponent, let alone finish him off.
Rather, he avoids the opponent’s throwing daggers and only barely manages to avoid a vital point, and the minor wounds just keep increasing.
‘It’s dangerous if we continue like this… … .’
Even if I tried to swing my longsword to knock away the dagger, my sword was long, so it would often end up getting blocked by the wall in the hallway.
There was nothing I could do.
‘There’s nothing I can do… … ?’
As I thought about it, the memory of when Lee Chang-hyun gave me one-on-one tutoring came back to me vividly.
“If you attack like that, there’s nothing I can do? Then what should I do?”

“Think about it again. Was there really nothing you could do?”
Lee Chang-hyun smiled meaningfully.
“Your problem is that you are good at everything like brute force, but you lack intelligence.”
“Cleverness?”
“Oh, of course it’s not that you’re stupid. You’re actually smart. But you’re too honest.
What I mean is that when it comes to combat, you need to be a little more flexible and think a little more nimbly.
“If I were you, I would definitely find a way to turn the tables.”
“Turn the board… over?”
‘That’s right… … That’s right.’
The current situation is one where the battle is unilaterally forced at a disadvantage.
At that time, Lee Chang-hyun expressed that the table had to be turned.
What does it mean to turn the table over… … When I think about it carefully, I realize that I may have already seen the answer and known it.
I was reminded of Lee Chang-hyun during the audition program and the elimination mission. One vs. many.
Lee Chang-hyun’s situation where he has to defend the target point.
Lee Chang-hyun’s play, which caused the building to collapse suddenly and knocked everyone down in a cloud of dust.
‘If the terrain is not favorable, create the environment for it. Or at least, break the formation that only benefits the opponent.’
I thought I understood it, but it seems I haven’t really understood it yet.
But now that I realize the truth.
Yoon Han-gyeol took out the mana bomber from his bosom and attached it to the wall of the spaceship’s corridor.
Boom! Boom!
And soon after, one side of the spaceship collapsed, creating a lot of space.
That wasn’t all. The dust cloud created by the explosion of the Mana Bomber.
And through the unnatural flow of dust and air, the figure of the opponent covered with an invisible cloak was vaguely revealed.
“Tch.”
I thought I heard the other person clicking his tongue.
As I gained some space, I was able to easily block the opponent’s throwing daggers that he was desperately trying to dodge with his sword.
“Should we try this again properly?”
Yoon Han-gyeol smiled faintly.
***
Meanwhile, in another battlefield, a battle is taking place.
Not all members of the PER team were as helpless as Yoon Han-gyeol and had the upper hand over their opponents.
Gilhan Lee, who was in charge of PER’s vanguard, was in exactly that situation.
The ability to endure isn’t bad, and it’s good at destroying formations, but its interpersonal skills are greatly lacking.
“What~. Isn’t that the guy who died in Hunter Survival?”
I wonder if he was watching while doing Hunter Survival, the SMB team member openly laughed at him.
Moreover, he was underestimating Lee Gil-han, and his posture was extremely defenseless.
‘Is it now… …!’
Lee Gil-han prepared to use his ability, [Destructive Charge].
If I can shock them enough to make them lose their senses, winning won’t be a dream.
Thinking like that, the moment I looked at the other person again.
The SMB team members still had their mocking attitudes, and were defenseless. Only then did they suddenly realize something was wrong.
‘Why didn’t the other person attempt to assassinate me or attack me when I didn’t notice, but instead raised his voice first?’
Thinking back, it felt like it was there to let people know where he was, that he was here.
As a result, a subtle standoff ensued without the use of skills.
That was because I remembered the time when Lee Chang-hyun gave me a personal lesson in hunter survival.
“As I’ve said before, I have a habit of just going for it if the angle seems a little off. That’s not a bad thing, but the biggest problem is whether the angle is right.”
“I still make my own judgments based on my own basis, but… … ?”
“Yeah… … I guess so. But, the problem is the imbalance of information.”
“Information imbalance?”
It was something I had never thought of.
“Your skills are so effective that they are very noticeable externally.
So, there’s a high chance that your opponent knows your skills. But what about you? How much do you understand about your opponent?”
I was speechless. That was a problem I had never thought about.
“That’s why you have to play smart. The gaps you see in your opponent might not be real.”
‘Maybe that’s exactly the situation right now.’
It was as if the opponent was blatantly giving him an opening, as if he was asking him to come in first or use his skill. However, Lee Chang-hyun’s words kept lingering in my mind.
What if this is a trap? What if there is actually an easy way to avoid it, and a way to quickly get behind it after the dash?
In such a confusing situation, one thing. There was a word from Lee Chang-hyun that came to mind clearly.
“So just remember one thing. Unless you can get it 100% right, don’t use it.”
Of course, since I didn’t know my opponent’s abilities or mana equipment, it was hard to think that I would be able to hit 100%.
Therefore, Lee Gil-han gave up on charging and raised his shield to prepare his stance so that there would be no gaps.
Interestingly enough, as Lee Gil-han took up a defensive stance and continued the standoff, was it his opponent who got more excited?
The opponent spoke to me rather than attacking me.
“Well, it’s a bit scary to do something on your own with that kind of skill. I think I would feel the same way too.”
The opponent kept spitting out something. Was it an attempt to move the firmly established Lee Gil-han?
In fact, there were a few times when he felt angry at those words and wanted to attack, but in the end, Lee Gil-han did not move and maintained a defensive posture.
Instead, he just blurted out a word.
I thought that this is what Lee Chang-hyun would have done.
“You only have a mouth. Why are you talking so much?”
