084. Awards Ceremony
“Then… would you believe that I have the ability to simulate tens of thousands of possible futures based on your choices and embody them into experience?”
At those words, Jo Yeon-hwa’s expression hardened.
Yes, in fact, I’m confident that even I would be shocked if I were told that someone had that kind of ability.
You can tell just by looking at it that it’s a total fraud.
“Is it… the future… the same thing?”
“Well, not to that extent, but there are some similarities.”
“Then back then, I was teaching the guy who used the sword… …!”
What? Were you watching around when you were teaching swordsmanship to Yoon Han-gyeol?
Rather, it is good.
“That’s right. I taught you the secrets I’ve learned from tens of thousands of virtual sparring simulations, assuming you use the sword.”
Jo Yeon-hwa couldn’t continue speaking.
Because it’s a story that you can’t help but feel is some kind of fraud.
But now that I’ve said this, I’ll go back and calculate the information I’ve heard so far based on this.
The rapid growth of the team I was a part of, PER. And the fact that the team members showed a rapid change.
No, I don’t even need to go that far; the speed at which I become stronger is overwhelmingly fast.
‘You’d think that if you put it together, it would fit perfectly.’
The types of abilities gained after awakening are not yet fully known.
There are many cases where people don’t fully understand their abilities even after awakening, so it’s unlikely that such a thing would be known.
That’s why I thought it would work.
“I see… … Then there was no one who taught you separately… … Yeah. I was a little mistaken.”
Jo Yeon-hwa looked very confused. She seemed to need a moment to think, and stared blankly at the sky.
But interestingly enough, Ryu Jae-jun, who was watching the conversation from the side, didn’t seem that surprised.
“I guess you don’t care?”
“Should I have had some kind of strong reaction when I saw that?”
That made me chuckle.
Yeah, Ryu Jae-jun was this kind of guy.
“You simulate it in your imagination, and it helps you in actual combat situations.
Even if it is not necessarily an ability, there are already many cases of training like that.
“I don’t think it’s strange that it’s strengthened and manifested as an ability. Rather, I’m curious about you.”
“What?”
“If you have the abilities I just mentioned, why did you join that team?”
It’s coming in like a whoosh.
To explain this, I will tell you the history of my regression and the thoughts I had at the end of it.
And the bottom line is that you have to completely take control of the team.
And I have to explain the ideal I want to achieve by organizing the players I want and synergizing them… … .
Now, I feel like I have a new reason.
“Well… … Of course, there were more good teams. But, I didn’t need a good team, I needed my own team.”
“My team? My team… … .”
Ryu Jae-jun seemed to be quite troubled, but it seemed like he still hadn’t found the answer.
As the silence grew longer, a new topic was raised.
“Come to think of it, isn’t Ryu Jae-jun also going to the second division now?”
“Scouts, there are a lot of them.”
Moving from the 3rd division to the 2nd division, from the 2nd division to the 1st division. Moving up one level to a higher league team per season.
That’s the Hunter’s elite course. And, of course, Ryu Jae-jun, who has both great abilities and superpowers, would have received an offer to join a second-tier team.
“Have you ever thought about a team?”
“Everyone makes attractive offers, but that’s not what’s important to me.”
“You haven’t decided yet. Then come and take a look later.”
“what?”
“The reason I said I needed my team, not a good team.”
At the same time, he handed Ryu Jae-jun his newly sold PER director business card.
He didn’t think I would make him a job offer, so he just stared blankly at me, and I handed it to him instead.
“Ah~ It’s frustrating. Since we’re the same age anyway, I’ll just say it. If you think you’ll just get by and go to any team, you won’t get anything out of it. So think about it carefully.”
“okay.”
It seemed like he didn’t hate the snickers that much.
Meanwhile, Jo Yeon-hwa, who had been unconscious for a moment, had come closer again.
“I thought about it, is that why you said that when we first met? Like you were pretty much done growing up now?
By the way, there is another way, right? According to your abilities.”
I felt a change of color from before. At the same time, questions poured in.
So what skills should I develop now?
How should I train? Do I see a future where I can grow further? And so on…
Of course, it was a lie that I had such an ability, so I just lumped it together and told it to him, exchanging stories I had heard or good practice methods I had used before I returned.
Maybe that’s why. It seemed like he acknowledged and accepted something, but at the same time, he felt like there was something ambiguous about it.
“Well, I understand that I can’t tell you in detail since we’re not a team. But I’d still like to hang out with you sometimes.”
At the same time, the sound of the awards ceremony starting was heard from the party hall.
“Shall we go in? It was quite enjoyable.”
“If you’re bored, Jaejun, you can hold my hand and come play at our team’s home.”
Now it was time for the real party to begin.

***
The party venue that had returned was suddenly filled with a hot atmosphere.
Unlike before, there were a lot of people at the table, so I guess you could say there was a real party atmosphere.
“Uhm… … You’re here?”
Lee Yeon-ju still seemed to be drunk. No, perhaps it was fortunate that she was not drunk anymore.
“Oh, but did you hear that, Changhyun?”
“What? Did something happen while I was away?”
“I heard that Dojun will also receive an award at this awards ceremony.”
Kim Do-jun? An award?
I searched through my memories before my regression to see if there was a list of awards I should receive, but I couldn’t remember anything.
‘Super Play of the Year? Survival Award? Fan Voted Scene of the Year?’
I tried to recall all the awards I had received before returning, but they were all gone.
So, at that moment when I was wondering, after the Super Play of the Year award and the MVP Dealer award were over, Kim Do-jun’s name was called.
“Team PER’s Kim Do-jun. Please come out.”
Fortunately, I was half-drunk, so I was able to walk up to the stage without staggering and in pretty good shape.
Soon, the screen on the stage showed what award Kim Do-jun was receiving.
“Yes. Kim Do-jun, the hottest potato in this third league. Congratulations to the ‘Media of the Year’ award.”
The thing is, the video projected behind the stage was the highlight of the PER vs. RIX match.
A video of the edited version of the video showing reactions from ordinary people.
It was a video where people were laughing and clapping their hands while watching a scene where a man wearing an invisible cloak and a shining sword slaughters his opponents.
The most impressive thing is the number of views on Nuttube for the video below [3.91 million]. Wow…
“The Media of the Year award is given to the player whose highlight video has the highest number of views on NutTube, and it is a first in the third division! Please give him another round of applause and present him with the award.”
Kim Do-jun seemed quite surprised, perhaps not knowing that he would receive an award for this, but what was amazing was what he said into the microphone while accepting the award.
Uncharacteristically, he spoke emotionally, with tears in his eyes, as if he had not yet fully sobered up.
“I had a drink… … I don’t mind not being selected for the game.
But please remember me, Kim Do-jun. I tell you this with all my heart.
The performance may not be very good.
I thought about it day and night and prepared. I did my best and worked hard.
“I hope you feel my sincerity. Thank you.”
Kim Do-jun’s words caused laughter to erupt everywhere.
‘That crazy guy?’
I thought he had sobered up a bit, but he went upstairs and started talking nonsense during his acceptance speech.
I quickly brought her in before she got hurt any more, but I couldn’t help but feel my face flush.
So, the awards ceremony was in full swing, and now only a few of the most important awards remained.
An award given to the Korean player who has shown the best performance overall throughout the year. [MVP of the Year Award].
And the [Rookie of the Year Award] is given to the player who showed the most impressive performance among the newly debuted players from Part 1 to Part 3.
‘The MVP award will obviously go to a first-tier player this year… … and maybe the Rookie of the Year award is something to aim for?’
Well, honestly, the award isn’t really that big of a deal, but I’d like to give it to you.
Now I’m going to need more sponsors, and having another title like this definitely helps.
While I was thinking about that, the MVP award nominee was announced.
“Congratulations to Junhyuk Kang of Team 1st Division LTD. You have been selected as the player with the best performance this year!”
He was awarded a plaque along with Geumilbong, but he didn’t seem to be very impressed.
Certainly, and that was evident in the comments.
“Even though I was selected as the best Korean player, I still have many regrets.
This year’s international tournament was a crushing defeat for Japan, and I think the Korean Hunters League still has a long way to go.
And as the top player in the Korean league, I feel that responsibility. I will work to become a better player.”
After greeting him politely, he was handed the plaque.
‘That’s pretty cold. It’s a total festival atmosphere, so who would have thought he’d say something like that… … .’
This was like throwing a cold water on the party atmosphere and sending a message to the entire party hall that we should try harder next year.
Perhaps sensing the atmosphere, the host broke out in a sweat and then immediately announced the next winner, the [Rookie of the Year].
“Then, finally… … the Rookie of the Year winner! Congratulations to the monster rookie who showed the best performance of the year, Lee Chang-hyun of Team PER!”
With those words, highlights of the match in Part 3 were shown on the screen on the stage.
To be honest, I half expected it. That’s why I came in before the awards ceremony started.
Since it is common for regular players to not be able to perform well in the drastic difference in environment between the existing league and the new league they are debuting in, it was somewhat calculated that I would receive it.
However, the audience’s reaction was not as good as expected.
Just now, unlike the MVP award, there was little applause, and it seemed like there was even laughter.
‘Is this mainly a reaction from the second part?’
The table sections were divided by league, so it wasn’t difficult to understand.
“No, Han Ji-hoo can’t accept this. After being promoted to the second division this time, we almost swept it.”
“I guess they’re pushing for it because there aren’t any newcomers in the third division these days.”
“It’s a bit disgusting.”
“No, even if it’s a rookie award, how can you give it to a third-tier child?”
“How good can you be if you do well at a high level… … Oh my.”
The sound of muttering.
Well, actually, there must be others who were active besides me.
So, there may be objections.
‘But the fact that he said something like that at an awards ceremony where all the hunters are gathered means that he has the confidence to take responsibility for his words.’
Well, since Hunters are Awakened, there are many people who can hear even such small sounds.
Moreover, now I am not just a member of PER’s team, but I am also the owner and manager of the team.
It wasn’t a story you could laugh off.
I was trying to make him pay the price even if it meant ruining the mood.
But someone standing behind me on stage stopped me from speaking.
