Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

236 Misconceptions and Prejudices (4)

The World Challenger League Simulated Arena.

It is gaining a reputation for being famous and organized through various media, but it is not really a big place.

It's just a grid of enchanted abilities pouring reinforcement magic onto the wall so it won't break.

The treatment after the duel is for the resident medical challengers, who sometimes die in simulated duels.

Nevertheless, this place is always infested with challengers.

It is the easiest way to gain a reputation.

“… Roberto lost? ”

“Who's that guy? Why are you fighting so well when I've never seen you before? ”

All simulated duels are relayed through the camera.

Of course, only challengers belonging to the coalition can watch, except for the general public…….

Just like when people gather, there is one person who likes to brag.

“If you edit the highlights briefly and put them up, it's a joke. ”

Eventually, what happened here spreads unknowingly.

At first, it was about who won and who lost.

Unexpectedly, the coalition changed slightly with the reaction of the public showing favorable and explosive attention.

Some of the journalists were friendly and allowed to upload videos as short as they were approved.

“Journalist Yoo! Why don't you go get an interview? ”

“Yes? Yes... ”

“I'm going to have to ask you to do it, right? Wake up. There are a lot of people in the headquarters who want to be Yu's reporter. ”

“ ……. ”

Yu Hye moved on powerlessly because of the provocative shooter's words.

You hear the sound of tongues kicking from behind you.

“Tsk, tsk. If you're lucky to be next to me, you better be sincere." ”

Are you lucky or are you sincere?

It was absurd.

‘That's not what you want to say...! ’

Name Lee Byung-ho.

The Vice President's son.

He quickly got promoted even though he was later than Yu Hye Ri and became her shooter.

A man with a short career is a shooter?

In fact, it would be absurd to look at industry practices, but it would have been a big picture of the HR team trying to get him to act on behalf of the incompetent.

But as a result, that absurdity has allowed her to be here now.

"What did this human do?" ’

Although K Ilbo's work is quite large in South Korea, very few journalists have granted permission from the coalition.

For reference, most of them were from well-known overseas journalists or reputed war reporters.

However, one day, Lee Byung-ho was granted permission to enter the simulated Arena.

At first, I didn't trust anyone at headquarters.

It was because he had joined K Ilbo as a relative and was not in Bibil.

You called the Director directly and convinced him? You can't even introduce yourself in English? ’

I still don't believe in stories that don't pray.

The pass to Hana headquarters was real.

How the hell did Private Ho get clearance to enter?

Well, as a journalist, I'm just curious to know the truth.

Now, that may have been a good fact.

“Phew... ”

Yu Hye Hye sneaked a sigh and went to the medical ward for an interview with Lee Byung-ho who can't speak English.

Already in front of it were a crowd of famous journalists waiting.

Yu Hye Ri waited a long time with them, but in the end, she couldn't do the interview.

It was not new at all.

Most challengers were more inclined to know where they were and what they were going to do than the first press to hear about K Ilbo.

‘I'll be damned if I won't win again. ’

Yu Hye returned to the place where the slaughterhouse was being dragged away like an ox.

As soon as I came, the sound of bitterness flew.

“What do you know how to do? ”

“ ……. ”

Yu Hye lee spilled it into one ear.

I keep thinking that these days.

‘I wish that man had properly interviewed me and disappeared..... ’

The time before the tower's information becomes public.

Yu Hye Ri stumbled upon a challenger named Choi Yoon-suk, who happened to be chasing a secret.

And I was promised an interview in exchange for my help.

One, he disappeared everywhere after work, and Yue had to watch the state government first announce information about the tower over time.

I missed the biggest feature of my life.

‘... What if it was different? ’

It was probably rich.

You could have just cut it off when the company put Private Loan Holder up because you blew it up like that....

Instead of being treated as a burden, it might have been possible to gain access to the coalition by myself through fame.

“Hey, are you listening to me? ”

Yoo Hye-Ri woke up from a delusion because of Lee Byung-ho's voice. And I've been meaning to make excuses, as usual.

Challengers and journalists gathered around to watch the simulated duel started to rumble.

“Savior Cosplay? There's still someone like that around these days. ”

“If you're going to do it, do it right. There's only one sword, right? ”

Following my gaze, I saw a man with a mask in the center.

It was clear who he was following.

A man who trained numerous followers with a single battle video that seemed to have reached the realm of God, and eventually earned the title of Savior.

He's the only duel ranker on Earth...

Master of the starship Lin, who defeated countless invaders.

I heard that the impression of him wearing a mask and a dual sword is widely known and that there are quite a few who follow him.

But…….

“No, wait……. There's a director next door. ”

At some point, the intestine froze.

Founder of the World Challenger League, Ashton Jackson.

No one does not know that he is the faithful confidant of the 'Savior.’

And then the man in the mask says to him,

It's like talking to someone down there.

“You've got it all figured out. ”

“ ……! ”

At that brief recollection, everyone stopped breathing.

“Then it can't be.... ”

“It's really ‘him'...? ’

There was no doubt.

That's him.

He is the challenger in Korea who uses the nickname 'predator’, which was completely hidden in the veil.

That's why...

“ ……! ”

Yu Hye Ri couldn't believe it.

Just saying that he likes to wear a mask.

It is not known exactly what type of mask it is.

But that mask was very familiar to me.

‘Yoon-suk Choi……! That's the mask he was wearing! ’

This is just a coincidence?

That can't be right.

* * *

Yoon-suk looks at the simulated arena.

Ashton has started sending all the challengers below the 15th floor out.

“Don't worry, the other challengers who aren't here have decided to come as soon as they're called. Maybe all the people in the tower will come. ”

“You have more authority than I thought. ”

“No, not really. ”

“ ……? ”

“Since Yoon Suk added that he called, I wonder if he would give up everything he did. It's just an expectation. ”

I'm ashamed to hear that from someone's face.

In fact, it still doesn't feel very real.

about who you are to the challengers.

‘Well, you're just curious, like Ashton said. Who I am. ’

“Would you like to take a look, by the way? ”

While you wait, Ashton plays the recorded video on the simulated arena.

Yun Seok was excited to see other challengers' duels.

And then I did.

“Interview! I said I'd give you an interview! ”

“… K Ilbo? He couldn't have made such a promise in such a place. ”

“Why do you judge that? Tell me a story, let me tell you a story! ”

“Yoo, Yoo Journalist! What are you doing? Let's go. And if you take my pass, are you gonna be responsible for the book? ”

You hear a rattling sound coming from the entrance.

Everyone left without hesitation at Ashton's command, but there were others who didn't.

Soon, Yoon-suk turned his gaze toward the sound.

And I tilted my head.

‘I think I saw it somewhere... …. ’

“A profitable journalist. ”

“Benefits?”

“I was the first reporter to become aware of the tower while researching Yoon-suk. Before the U.S. government announced it at the time, we were in a lot of trouble because we kept publishing. ”

Then I remembered.

K Ilbo's beneficiary reporter.

This is the reporter who tracked Yoon-suk down with one CCTV the other day.

When I returned to the tower and became suspicious, I watched my family and informed Yun Seok that my parents had been kidnapped.

In return, Yoon-suk agreed to accept the coverage....

At that time, I was too busy to keep my promise.

“Anyway, one of the reporters who asked me to come in said yes because I saw the name. I know that journalist has suffered just as much as we have. ”

“Good work. Could you bring them here, please?" ”

“A profiteering journalist? ”

“Yes, with the person next to me. ”

Ashton tilted his head, but soon he called Yoo Hye-Ri and Man apart according to Yoon-suk's invitation.

Then the face of the male reporter who was with me turned white. Apparently, he didn't think he was calling to indemnify himself.

‘It's not like that...... ’

I was just a little curious.

On the day that Yoon-suk only appeared, he cleverly changed his face using the Avatar.

Only a handful of governments know about the real identity, and warned them to watch their mouth.

But Yoo Hye-Ri, a journalist, can't have a relationship with such people....

How did he find out right away?

“Right, right? Choi Yoon... No, you met me back then. ”

Soon after, Yu Hye Ri came to see the man next to her, he turned vaguely instead of his name and asked.

“Yoo, Yoo Journalist! What do you mean, you met him? I'm confused now……. ”

Yoon-suk admitted it.

“That's right. It's been a while. ”

“I knew it...! Did you change your face in that video? ”

“That's also true. But how did you find out? ”

“A mask. You were wearing the same mask. ”

It is not a mask with large characteristics.

However, Yu Hye remembered this precisely with his natural eye sledge.

“But can't you just get this mask from the tower? ”

“The Savior is known to be Korean. So I was wondering if I saw a different video and a different face, and I felt it as soon as I saw it today. It's not just the same mask. ”

I was wondering if I could shout as if I was sure of the Union staff…….

After all, it looks like a journalist's intuition.

“You really knew her...? ”

Whether it was such a surprising fact, the male reporter who was with him was amazed.

Then I suddenly woke up and whispered to the eunuch with greedy eyes.

“Yoo, Yoo Journalist. So, is it true that you promised to give me that interview...? ”

I couldn't hear it in Yoon-suk's ears because he was tired.

Yoon-suk smiled.

I knew what kind of man this was already.

“Why do you care what I promised Yu reporter? ”

“Oh, no, that's not it... I'm just worried that as a colleague of the same company……. ”

“There's nothing to worry about. It's a little late, but I'm going to keep my promise. ”

“Then……! ”

Yoo Hye-Ri's face brightened in Yoon-suk's words.

“Yes, if you make a questionnaire or something and hand it over to Ashton, I'll check it out later and give you an answer. ”

“Well, you're busy.... ”

Was it different than I thought it would be?

Yu Hye Lee's tail became cloudy as if it were a bit of a pity.

Then he carefully gave a different opinion.

“Do you think you could film it instead of an interview? ”

“Filming?”

“Yeah. Whatever it is, you're trying to do something here today. I'm just gonna take a picture in the back. ”

Yoon-suk looked at Ashton as he asked for his opinion.

Then the sign came back that there was no big problem and that you could do whatever you wanted.

I wish I could just cut it off and refuse, but Yoon-suk became a little embarrassed.

I'll wear a mask anyway.

“It doesn't matter if you wear a mask! ”

I intend to practice without separation.

“It doesn't matter! Even if you soak it in kimjang, it will get a billion views! ”

It will take a few days in the barrel to finish.

“I won't sleep until it's over! ”

Honestly, I can't help but think...

“… how could I not? ”

Looking at Yu Hye Ri's desperate eyes, Yoon Seok finally nodded.

Well, go away. There's nothing you can't do.

It's a little late, but we had an appointment.

* * *

An age where monsters come from cracks and threaten people.

Challengers on the 15th floor and above are treated as heroes and treated like celebrities.

What we actually see in one word means that it is as hard as a star in the sky.

However, there were thousands of such people gathered together.

Of course, just by looking at his face, there were many celebrities that everyone knew, just by name.

“Jovan Trosian! You're less than a hundred rankers! There's Chen Xiao Hua from China! Yu Journalist, what are you doing without taking a picture? Don't you see Chen Xiao Hua, the thief, greeting the Savior first? ”

Yu Hye Ri decided to hand over the recording when it was all over.

However, Lee Byeong-ho was not satisfied with this and forced himself into the simulated arena with a camera.

By the way, Yu Hye Ri was in charge of pressing the shutter on such a topic.

‘You will take the picture yourself.... ’

However, Yu Hye Ri felt frustrated, but without stopping, she pressed the shutter.

In the courtesy of Ashton, I have permission to use all the photographs taken here.

When else will I be able to take pictures of those challengers who are sensitive to portraits in their lives?

Make sure you film as much as you can.

- Everyone step back from the center and remove your armor.

Challengers retreated in circular form, following Ashton's instructions delivered through the microphone.

There was Yoon-suk in the center.

Yu Hye looked forward to watching without missing anything.

“Are you going to fight a thousand alone? ”

I didn't hear the details, but it was the atmosphere.

In fact, some of the challengers looking at Yoon-seok were desperate enough to feel this far.

They would have to wonder.

How strong the Earth's strongest challenger is.

‘… this is awesome even if you take 10 seconds! ’

A spaceship called the Last Ark, Lin.

The ranking ranks prominently in the upper ranks of the Duel Tower, which is teeming with monsters of all dimensions.

There is a lot of evidence to prove his strength, but only once did he show you how he actually fights.

According to the Federal Bureau of Information, it was even on the 10th floor.

Is that why?

Hundreds of challengers were asking him with their eyes.

What challenger are you?

Are you really as good as your reputation?

Like a floating myth, isn't he a fictional creature created for political purposes?

Somehow, Yu Hye Ri seemed to already know the answer.

Whoo-hoo!

No matter what you do.

Even if you stand still among a thousand challengers.

I can feel the arrogance of my skin as if I was underestimating everyone.

Tadadad!

Soon another voice came out of the microphone, with a thousand challengers rushing towards Yun Seok.

Knng.

Yu Hye looked at Yoo Hye Seok, clenching his fist.

He was relaxed, even as powerful as I rushed in.

You dodged various types of moves without pulling out your sword.

“ ……. ”

Suddenly, I felt creepy.

Even though I can't see my mouth because of the mask.

However, if you feel Yoon-suk smiling with an aggressive eye....

Do you think it's because of your feelings?

‘No, it can't be. ’

Yu Hye Ri was sure.

Maybe someday when this video comes out, everyone will think the same thing.

“ ……! ”

The surprises have not yet begun.

A swirling sword, a flying flame, a rainstorm, a frozen arrow.

Yoon Seok closed his eyes, fluidly avoiding the attack like a cast play in the middle of it.

It's like this isn't enough.

You have to give me a handicap like this to be a match.

“Damn……! Don't be ridiculous!”

Thousands of challengers gripped Yoon-suk even more because of his arrogant actions.

Yu Hye looked at Yu while forgetting to take a picture in the middle.

How long has it been?

Yoon-suk pulled something out of the subspace bag.

‘Now I'm going to show you.... What is that? ’

As Yu Hye Lee was preparing to press the shutter, he shined his eyes with his fingers.

One view was the same.

‘… Dumbbells? Why 'd you pull that thing out? ’

What Yoon-suk took out was any object that looked clearly useful to anyone.
