Taming Master

“Yes, viewers! YTBC Reporter Lucia! ”

“Greetings, viewers. Reporter Hines.”

YTBC, Korea's leading game broadcaster, could not have just missed such a big event as the Arena.

The arena was accompanied by YTBC's male and female reporters.

“Lucia, there's a lot of people here today, right? ”

“I see. The heat in the Arena is hotter than it was a month ago. Especially not here in the major league, but in the ruckus league. ”

The two continued to progress skillfully.

“Maybe it's after the opening of the new job, after the first arena? ”

Lucia's words were conveyed naturally to the audience by Hines.

“That's right, the first arena since the new job opened! That's why I'm more interested in the Lucky League than ever before. Almost equal to a major league where top rankers compete in pairs! ”

“Yes, it is. As you can see from the screen, the Arena is full of thousands of people! ”

It was as two reporters said.

The audience seat around the arena in the Lukis League is in full swing.

This is also a huge rebuttal of interest in the new job.

While the crystal ball broadcasting the broadcast lit up the stadium, the two of them took a breather and read the script once more.

And as the screen changed, the progress of Lucia proceeded naturally.

“Heinz, which of these three new jobs would you consider to be the most powerful fighter in the arena? ”

Hines begins to explain Lucia's words.

“Again, the class being analyzed as the most powerful job in a one-on-one arena is an 'assassin'. ”

“Why?”

“Basically, it's an excellent job compared to a black wizard or summoner. ”

“Is that so? But a Summoner or a Black Wizard can summon so many undead that a lone assassin would be more disadvantageous?" ”

A friendly description of two people's question formats continued.

“Haha, it makes sense for a Lucian reporter, but a lot of numbers is not a big advantage in dealing with assassin classes. ”

Hines breathes a short time after speaking a lot.

“Assassin classes have a lot of skills that can be distracted by instant focusing, like teleporting or being invisible for a short time. Plus, it's basically very mobile, so you can narrow down the distance from your opponent's user in no time! ”

Lucia nods.

“Aha, so from the assassin's point of view, you can quickly approach the enemy user, avoiding the Black Wizard or Summoner's summons, and strike a powerful blow! ”

“That's it, Lucia. That's why many analysts view the assassin as the winner of the Rookie League as a strong candidate. ”

Mainly Hynes was in charge of explanation, and Lucia became the viewer and asked the viewers questions they might have.

“Huh? By the way, Hines, There's something else I'd like to ask you. ”

“What part? ”

“I think he's a highly accessible and man-attacked assassin, but he may be vulnerable to traditional warrior or knight classes. ”

Hines waits for Lucia's next words for a moment, followed by Lucia's.

“An assassin may not be as strong as he is one-handed, but he may have a weakness for a warrior class that is more defensive and aggressive, or for a knight class that is specialized in tanking. ”

Hines' explanation follows again.

“You're right, Lucia. Like you just said, assassin classes are bad for warrior or knight classes. ”

“Then why is the assassin the most powerful candidate for the Lucky League? ”

“That's because distinguished users of the existing class have already analyzed that level 50 will not be able to enter the Luke League. New class users, on the other hand, are now approaching level 50. ”

Low eye level commentary makes it easy for viewers to understand!

Of course, there were many bone marrow gamers who were well versed in the game, but there was a much greater proportion of ordinary people who were not.

So the commentary and understanding of the game was overwhelmingly dominant in YTBC media compared to other game stations.

“Oh, while Heines speaks, the first round of the qualifying tournament is about to begin! ”

Like Lucia said, the first match was about to begin at the Arena.

“Oh! Looks like a new job has appeared since the first match! ”

“Mr. Hines, is that the assassin in black suit on the other side? ”

“That's right. Your username is' Lim Long ’. On the contrary, if you are going to face Lim Long, you are a warrior class, Plio. ”

Lucia looks at the crystal ball and says,

“Now, this is an exciting match! Attention, viewers! ”

Along with her words, the crystal ball begins to light up the Arena again, and the first qualifying match begins.

* * *

‘Hmm... An assassin...' I don't know much about assassins... ’

Plio was a regular 48-level warrior class user.

An ordinary gamer who likes Kailan as much as anyone, but just enjoys his hobby.

He came to Muran shortly before reaching level 50, when the Arena of the Ruspel Empire was opened and he joined the Lucky League.

‘But I'm glad it's a new job, right? There won't be many users close to level 50 yet... ’

Three days ago, the Assassin's Tower was finally created in Muran, where all new classes of occupational towers were created.

That means there is now a user who is a level 50 summoner, a black wizard, and an assassin.

But three days ago, the birth of the first level 50 assassin meant that the typical assassin users would likely not have reached level 40 yet.

And I didn't want to think the opponent in front of me was the highest level of assassin.

“Phew.”

Plio fixed the Great Sword and gripped it.

I didn't want to lose as easily as when I first came to the Arena.

‘Let's not worry... Losing doesn't get you killed, it just leaves the stadium. ’

The user does not die in the Arena.

The moment your HP falls below 5% or an equivalent ruling appears, you will leave the stadium and all your health will be restored.

Seeing that there was no risk other than a certain expense to enter the race, it seemed to calm Plio's mind a little.

“Hehe...! ”

Plio clears his mind as he lets out a small sigh.

I was relieved of my worries, but I couldn't help but get nervous.

It was my first time in the Arena, and I was first in the game today.

When he thinks like that, a system message rings out to all the users in the arena.

[In five seconds, the match begins.]

[5… 4… 3….]

Plio rolls up the handle of the Dagger and snaps it into position so it can bounce right off.

"Yes, assassin class is bad for warrior class. There's nothing to be afraid of. ’

The opposing Pokémon's expressions seem very calm, but at this moment, they have to put their minds to rest and focus on the battle.

[2… 1… GO!!]

At the end of the countdown, Plio leaps forward, pretending to be waiting.

“Ahhhh!! ”

Of course, the assassin, who thought he was going to blow himself up, was just standing there staring at himself.

‘What...? ’

The moment Plio feels strange, the opponent's new stature disappears like a lie.

‘… Is that the ultimate technique for assassins?! ’

Transparency was a basic and representative skill that he learned as soon as he became an assassin, hiding his appearance for 10 seconds.

In addition to situations in which 10 seconds have passed, an assassin becomes visible when he or she casts an attack motion or any other skill or takes any damage from an enemy.

‘He must be looking for an opportunity near me...! ’

After making his own decision, Plio swings his Great Sword across.

Calculating that you will try a preemptive strike without giving the invisible enemy 10 seconds!

Huuung-

However, Plio's great sword only goes airborne with the sound of a mighty wind.

At that moment, a black shadow appeared in front of him.

Fuck!

Lim Long was aiming for the gap between flio's countermoves and swinging his dagger.

And he crosses through the gap, drawing his side with a dagger.

“Grrrghh-!"

And that wasn't the end.

He moves behind him as if he were reading Plio's movements. Once again, he succeeds in the attack.

“Huh-huh-huh-huh-! ”

Workshop in the blink of an eye!

Actually, I did something because it was a workshop.

Plio was unilaterally attacked by the assassin Lim Long.

‘Crazy…!! You've lost half your health! ’

It was ridiculous.

He wasn't even a warrior raised on offense.

I grew my offense and cuffs evenly, and, technically, I was raised as a Tanking Warrior.

However, I never imagined that even a powerful assassin could take away the life force of close to 7,000 at this rate.

"He's a natural fighter...!" ’

A stalk of cold sweat pours down from Plio's spine.

As you play Kailan, you see a natural fighter who sometimes demonstrates more than a few times his bar stats.

His opponent, the assassin, senses a natural gamer.

"But you can't give up like this! ’

Plio is positioned to cast his most powerful skill, 'Bombardment'.

Almost half a million gold he earned to get this skill book.

Though the opposing Pokémon's attack may be powerful, their vitality will be light as paper since they are assassins.

Just one shot of this‘ bombshell ’will turn the tide of the world upside down.

Luckily, an authentic hit could turn the assassin into powder in one blow.

“Ahhhhh-!! ”

Plio draws a slightly tilted cross with a large diagonal swing of the dagger.

Then the red energy starts to clump around his sword.

And ‘Lim Long’ was looking at him indifferently.

“Die, you bastard...! ”

Plio reaches forward with his sword in his hand.

Then the giant sword fires at Lim Long at an incredible speed.

And the red energy starts to coalesce around the sword.

The moment when everyone is watching and breathing.

Surprisingly, Lim Long did not avoid the Great Sword, but jumped in front of it.

“W-well...! ”

The audience looking inside the stadium opened their mouths and watched the scene.

Blame- blame-!

Surprisingly, Lim Long was able to soar high on the blade of Flio's sword while taking a light leap.

What a stunning movement that took place in a moment.

The spectators who saw the enormous scene close to the trick could not keep their mouths shut.

And Lim Long reaches out for Plio.

You little...!

Sharp Void Across the Air!

A total of six silent daggers were shot from both hands of Lim Long, marching towards Flario defenseless.

Pa Pa Pa!

And Flio couldn't have reacted to this close attack on this unpredictable acronym.

[Plio's user health falls below 5%, leaving the stadium.]

[Lim Long user wins the match.]

[Win a perfect game to double your winnings.]

At the end of the match, the system message rang, but the gutter was quiet as a rat.

Because everyone was so shocked.,

Most surprisingly, the assassin ‘Lim Long’ didn't even use his special skill.

The skills he showed in the match were 'transparency’ and ‘dogmatism’, the only two skills that any assassin has.

And after a while, a great shout began to spread as if someone were leaving the Arena at the beginning.

“Wow…!! ”

In everyone's frenzied screams.

The rookie league's first qualifying match ended in two minutes.
