(91)

Now I’m at Jamsil Stadium.

The start time for the duel is 1:00, but I was told to come early because there would be traffic jams, so I left around 10:30.

I didn’t have anything to prepare, so I was just sitting in a chair and using my cell phone, but when I went to the portal and searched, there were quite a few articles.

Articles and comments all predict Kim Dae-chan’s victory, but there are people who secretly take my side, saying, “I would have pointed out to Kim Dae-chan if I hadn’t been confident.”

If I had been able to place bets like W Toto did in this duel, I would have been able to secure my share, but it’s a pity.

Anyway, what about lunch?

The breakfast menu was not good, so I ate only a little, but since I told you to come early, the association will give it to you, right?

I was about to go out to ask the staff, but I heard a knock and the door opened.

I thought they were employees, but they are Kim Man-dong, Mr. Kim, and Mr. Hong.

“I came to cheer for Mr. Kang.”

“ah… thank you. You don’t have to come.”

“Why are you so sad? Are we guys?”

Actually, my co-workers went hunting together every vacation, and the two of them helped a lot with Sejin’s training.

“Looks like you’re on the road wherever you’re going.”

“I was a bit hungry, so I tried to ask how you are doing for lunch.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, don’t worry. We also prepared lunch.”

“Yes?”

I finally discovered that Mr. Kim was holding a shopping bag.

There are no signs… Maybe you made it yourself?

My God, this is a variable I never thought of… .

“I bought it from a very famous sushi restaurant.”

Mr. Hong said with a smile as if he had read my inner thoughts.

“I was originally going to make it myself, but Lee Seol-i made a reservation in advance.”

“it’s okay. You know I like to buy and eat. thank you.”

While we were all having lunch together and talking, the door opened and an association employee came in.

“Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok, I have to go up in 10 minutes, so please prepare.”

“Yes. All right.”

“Has the time already been like this? Mr. Kang will also have to prepare, so let’s go too.”

“It doesn’t matter if you stay.”

“Aren’t you being too careless? Kim Dae-chan may not have a good personality, but his skills are… .”

“it’s okay. If I hadn’t been confident, I wouldn’t have applied for STB in the first place, and I wouldn’t have pointed out Daechan Kim.”

“there… Mr. Kang, I can’t see the sword. Where is the sword?”

“Did you take it because the association did something like a prosecutor? Still, I should give it to you now.”

“no. That’s the sword I’ll be using in today’s duel.”

When I point to the corner, everyone is surprised.

“Yes?”

“Hey, Mr. Kang… ?”

“What the hell are you thinking?”

“That is enough against Kim Dae-chan. Just as a craftsman does not choose a tool, I do not choose a sword.”

“But that’s not a sword at all.”

“Still, the length is roughly the same as the sword I used.”

“Is it an artifact by any chance?”

“No.”

“You have to make sense, man. don’t ask me to come I’ll tell the association to get at least one sword, so even now… .”

Looking at the reaction, it seems that I did well not to bring a sword.

“It’s really fine. If you don’t believe me, I can’t help it.”

I went to the corner and picked up the sword I would use today.

“I won’t grab it and avoid it, so let the vice principal hit it with a fist.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes. If the waiting room is damaged, it will be difficult, so please focus all your energy on this.”

“You will not regret it.”

The principal puts on a puzzled expression and strikes my sword with his fist.

bang-!

It is also a sympathy.

Even though it’s not electric power, my wrist feels tingly as if it’s been electrocuted.

Of course, my sword is intact without a single flaw.

“No, no way… .”

“Isn’t it really an artifact?”

“Have you ever seen an artifact that looks like this? Let’s check it out, Mr. Kim.”

I handed the sword to Mr. Kim.

“I… It’s really just a branch.”

“How could an ordinary tree branch hold up to Master’s fist? Give it to me.”

Mr. Hong, who was next to him, couldn’t believe it either, so he snatched a branch from Mr. Kim.

“There is no sign of real mana at all. how the hell… You didn’t even use Aura Blade or Aura.”

“This is a bit complicated to explain… .”

* * *

I hit the knife that was aiming for my neck, but just before the knife touched it, it suddenly turned towards my abdomen.

visor-

Wow, this is real.

From the outside, it’s really just an ordinary tree branch, but it won’t be cut even if it collides with the master’s sword clad in blue steel.

“It’s a gap, you bastard!”

Knock- thump!

“Ah!”

I really thought about something else for a second, but the tree branch was cut off and I got hit right in the head with the back of a knife.

“Master, let’s adjust our strength! You thought your head would break.”

“I did it last. If you didn’t, your pot would have broken.”

“Ttukbaegi?”

“Doesn’t the earthenware pot mean the head?”

Where did you learn those words… .

“I will do it again.”

“You’ve already succeeded, what else are you going to do? no work.”

“No, my disciple is going to fight tomorrow, so please cooperate.”

“Good job. Concentration is essentially what matters. like a sword. Just don’t think about it in the middle.”

“No, so let’s play one more game.”

“hate. I moved and I’m hungry. I will eat ramen.”

“When you come next week, one more box of sesame seeds, three chickens, Cole?”

“Three chickens in one more box of sesame seeds? What kind?”

“How about golden olives, crispy red pepper, and sprinkles?”

“What are you doing? Hurry up and break a twig.”

* * *

When I sparred with Master, I always used a sword, and Master usually broke tree branches to deal with me.

What’s unusual is that the master who used sword skills and sword swords blocked all of them with ordinary tree branches.

Master’s branches were neither black nor strong, but my sword never cut Master’s branches.

Every time I see it, it seems so fraudulent that I ask what they are doing.

―You can do it too… Didn’t I teach you?

He said he didn’t teach me, and then he told me how to do it, saying he forgot.

notion.

Sword swords that cut through hard iron, strong swords that are much more powerful than sword swords, and weapons that contain will cannot be destroyed.

It was a little difficult because it was the concept of infusing intention into an object like internal energy, unlike the sword, which is controlled by intention, but it was not difficult to learn it, perhaps because of the commonality of using the same intention.

smart-.

“Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok, it’s time to go up.

“I will have to explain later. Just give me my sword.”

I left the waiting room behind the three people who were still looking surprised.

“there… Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok, if you go up right now, it’s a duel… You should bring your sword.”

“The sword is here.”

The clerk put on a puzzled expression, but when I said I was fine again, he didn’t say anything more.

After walking for about 3 minutes following the staff, you will see the entrance.

Earlier, the vice principal and other teachers said that there were a lot of people, and I can already hear a buzz.

“Looks like a lot of people came.”

“Oh, the stadium was full 20 minutes ago.”

You say it’s full?

Yesterday, it was changed to Jamsil Stadium, so I searched it and it seems that the capacity was 100,000.

Of course, I heard that there is no separate admission fee, but still, 100,000 people on a golden Sunday afternoon, people’s interest seems to be hotter than I thought.

The first thing that caught my eye when I passed through the entrance was the stadium, but the cheers of the crowd naturally moved my gaze to the audience.

The place is so packed with people that you can’t see a gap no matter where you look.

“Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok? Please wave your hand at least once.”

“Maybe?”

As we wave our hands, cheers erupt.

This, I thought there were quite a few people cheering for me more than I thought, but looking at the huge screen above the arena, Kim Dae-chan is shining.

In embarrassment, I lowered my hands and walked quickly.

When I came to the arena located in the center, there were quite a few familiar faces.

Not only the vice principal, but also Chase Guild master Lee Myeong-gang, where Shin-hyeok Kang used to work, and Bong-pal Ma, the vice principal of the second school I saw before, also came.

Besides that, there are as many as three more S-rank hunters that I have only seen on the Internet or on TV.

Everyone has a position, so it’s not like I was forced to come out, but with the exception of a few people, including the vice-principal, everyone stares at me.

Well, roughly guessed.

There’s no way I’m going to look good for trying to rise to the same position as them all at once using the STB system, which has never been seen in Korea before.

Not all of them are close to Kim Dae-chan, but first of all, they are S-rank hunters.

Even if I don’t send a hostile look, I don’t think there will be anyone here cheering me on other than the sympathy.

“I am Seong Jin-cheol, the referee for today’s duel.”

As the master of the Mars Guild, he is a spearman who competes for the upper ranks with the Principal among the top 10.

“This is Kang Shin-hyeok.”

“By the way, weren’t you the prosecutor? Where did you leave your sword and what branch did you bring?”

“This is my weapon.”

“what?”

Not to mention Kim Dae-chan, who was standing in front of him, everyone looked surprised.

Oh, of course, the sympathy I saw in the waiting room was excluded.

“thing… Young friend, aren’t you being too pretentious?”

This man who speaks in a flirtatious manner is Nam Il-sung, the Master of the Low Heaven Guild.

“Young people these days are so fearless, aren’t they? Ah, Daechan had a scandal with his daughter-in-law. Did Daechan offer to take care of it?”

Even Choi Moon-seong, the master of the Golden Lion Guild next to him, steps forward.

“It wouldn’t make sense to win like that. You know it’s a rematch if we don’t understand it, right? Even if Daechan sees it, I have no intention of looking after him.”

I heard that these two are pretty close with Kim Dae-chan, but sure enough, I don’t deserve it.

“Everyone do it in moderation.”

“What do you do in moderation? Mandong hyung is not like that either. He looked down on the S-Rank Hunter because he was pretending to be a teacher at his own school. .”

“Keep talking, why don’t you?”

How can you keep talking when you’re making an impression like that and exuding a flurry of life?

If it were me, I think I would have shut my mouth right away.

He’s a sympathetic principal who can’t usually eat and bothers me, but I was slightly moved when he gave it to me like this.

“Everyone seems overly hostile. The duel hasn’t even started yet, but I can’t do that anymore. And Mandong, you too will reap your energy.”

When the man in the black robe came forward, everyone kept their mouths shut, and even Kim Man-dong clicked his tongue once to save his life.

The man who quickly cleared the atmosphere was Cha Soo-hyeok from the Purgatory Guild.

Self-proclaimed Korea’s strongest hunter.

In the original work, Lee Ji-seong is a strong man who gives true education when he overcomes the sympathy right before graduation and falls into conceit.

“by the way. To be honest, I’m also a little curious. No matter how confident you are, the prosecutor doesn’t even bring a sword. Is that an artifact?”

“no.”

“No? Then can I check it out for a second?”

It appears next to you in an instant and grabs a branch.

It is an incredibly fast blink magic.

Of course, if you tried to stop it, you could of course stop it, but there is no need to strain yourself.

“I’m really just out. Are you really going to fight Kim Dae-chan with this?”

“There is a saying that a tiger does its best when hunting a rabbit, but there is no need to use a ox knife to catch a chicken.”

“Puhahahaha! I ate one of these Well, if you applied for STB, you should have that level of ambition.”

“If you’re done checking, just give it back.”

Everyone looks surprised, but especially Kim Dae-chan, who was ignored in front of his face, has a completely sh*t-chewed expression.

“This child… .”

Dae-chan Kim is approaching, so he tries to avoid it, but Soo-hyeok Cha blocks him.

“I haven’t started yet, but I don’t like this look. When the fight starts, do it.”

Kim Dae-chan, that guy… Did you think I brought a branch to watch over you?

dreams are wild
