[Team Leader 7]
“Oh my god….”
“Nonsense.”
People opened their eyes wide, as if they couldn’t believe it, and took turns looking at me and Hwan Jang-hyuk, who had fallen on the floor.
It must have been quite a shock.
An entry test that I thought was some kind of event.
No one would have thought that Hwan Jang-hyuk would lose.
A promising rookie and first-team member of the Whitehouse Guild.
I defeated that guy with one hit.
Still, the first person to come to his senses and control the situation was Baek Chang-soo.
“Medical class! “Hwan Jang-hyuk to the recovery room!”
Hwan Jang-hyuk was carried out on a stretcher and a brief break was given until the situation calmed down.
When I got off the stage, Baek Young-hee handed me a sports drink and said,
“What the hell are you…”
I shrugged my shoulders at her, who often gave me a fierce look today.
“Did you make a good deal with me?”
Baek Young-hee nodded so hard that she thought she might break her neck.
“Sure!”
With this, 6 billion won is secured.
Just passing the first test satisfied the requirements for joining the guild.
The remaining second and third tests could be seen as bonus games.
A bonus game with a whopping 20 billion won in prize money.
Of course I planned to win.
“Who is your next opponent?”
Baek Young-hee shook her head, saying she didn’t know much.
“I don’t know that. “It’s a provision that my dad added on the spur of the moment…”
“Hmm.”
I turned my head and scanned the superhumans in the sparring hall with my eyes.
About ten people.
Unfortunately, there was no one who looked weaker than Hwan Jang-hyuk.
“…….”
The guild officials’ gaze towards me was also greatly different from the beginning.
The eyes that looked like a cute little boy were suddenly filled with wariness and curiosity.
Sigh.
I felt them flinch when I laughed.
“Why are you smiling like a pervert?”
I answered this to Lily, who was next to me, pulling on my sleeve.
“In a fight, taking the lead is more important than anything else.”
In fact, knocking out Hwan Jang-hyuk with one blow was somewhat intentional.
If he had not used [Acceleration] from the beginning and had attacked with a true attack, he would not have been able to win so easily.
However, he was caught by my clumsy provocation and used his personality from the beginning.
That was Hwan Jang-hyuk’s defeat.
The single-hit attack using [Acceleration] is too risky when used alone.
But this guy took it easy on me and used it.
You probably never imagined that I would take advantage of that moment and aim for a counter.
“Landlord. “That was amazing.”
Baek Chang-soo approached me and said. Even though one of his guild members was destroyed, he somehow seemed happy.
“I was impressed by the distribution more than the skills. “I waited until the end and countered… It was a somewhat risky gamble, though.”
As expected, this guy noticed.
“I didn’t really think of it as gambling.”
Even looking at me like this, I am a 20-year veteran of jjambap.
When it comes to combat experience, I have more combat experience than anyone else in the world right now.
I asked out of courtesy.
“Is Hwan Jang-hyuk okay?”
“He was moved to the medical room right away. Fortunately, there is no risk to life.”
“You’ll get better if you rest for a few days.”
Baek Chang-su smiled at my words.
“It’s thanks to the landlord’s consideration.”
Baek Chang-soo knew that if I hadn’t pulled out my strength at the last moment, I could have blown off not just my jaw but my entire head.
“He’s good at controlling his strength… and like my daughter said, he doesn’t look like a beginner at all.”
“Maybe it’s something you’re born with.”
“no. “Innate and experience are different.”
At those firm words, I just shrugged my shoulders.
“So who is your next opponent?”
Baek Chang-su looked at me and smiled strangely, then turned his head and pointed to my next opponent.
“Team leader Yong. “Get ready.”
“yes! All right.”
The moment I saw the other person’s face, I knew who he was.
Even in the future, he was quite a famous superhuman.
Bull Yong Dae-hoon.
He was a famous tank representing Whitehouse.
And Baek Young-hee….
When I glanced back, she seemed to have understood it in a different way and started explaining about Yong Dae-hun.
“Team leader Yong Dae-hoon. I’m the team leader of our guild’s team 6. As I said last time, White House….”
The White House guild was made up of 6 teams of 5 people, with the 1st guild running the 2nd guild under it.
In other words, being the 1st team leader meant that he was a very strong superhuman within the guild.
“ha. “It’s hard to make money.”
I sighed and went up to the second stage.
The second stage is a battle in the forest.
It was an artificial forest filled with trees and stone soil in a space measuring about 50 meters by 50 meters.
After a while, I faced Yong Dae-hoon.
He was a man in his 30s with a sturdy build. Although he had dark eyebrows and thick lines, his impression was good and soft, making him quite likeable.
Daehoon Yong first offered to shake my hand.
“Nice to meet you. “This is Yong Dae-hoon.”
I just nodded without holding his hand. Yong Dae-hun said, withdrawing his hand in embarrassment.
“…haha. “You seem to be very shy.”
Instead of answering, I stared at him. The face of a man who looks infinitely good-natured.
“Is it you?”
“What do you mean?”
His face was still smiling, but his eyes became increasingly fierce.
It was this bastard.
The guy who secretly sent death to me earlier.
Did you think I didn’t know?
When the atmosphere between the two of us became increasingly cold, Baek Chang-soo intervened and said.
“What weapons do you two have?”
Yong Dae-hun showed off a sparring sword and a square shield that could cover his entire upper body.
“I will use my basic weapons.”
As before, I wrapped Tichtal’s watch around my left hand like a knuckle.
“I’m finished too.”
Baek Chang-su stepped back and the bell rang to signal the start of the test.
Sigh!
As soon as it started, I rushed in first.
The straight fist was aimed at Yong Dae-hun’s uvula. Yong Dae-hun raised his shield to defend his entire upper body.
Pow!
As soon as the attack was blocked, Yong Dae-hun’s sword cut into my chest. I bent my back backwards to avoid the attack.
When my posture collapsed, Yong Dae-hun probably thought it was an opportunity and charged at me with his shield raised.
Whick!
I turned my body to let him go to the side and at the same time reached out to his exposed side.
Njosu. The intention was to tear off the flesh with a martial arts technique modeled after the claws of an eagle.
Cough!
But before I knew it, the shield returned to the side and deflected my attack. At the same time, the sword that followed like a combination flew at me with the momentum to cut my wrist.
It is a sword, but if a superman swings it with purpose, it can cut even a stone.
Huh-!
In the nick of time, I pulled my hand out of the sword’s path.
But I didn’t back down.
Rather, he burrowed into Yong Dae-hoon’s arms.
bang!
Step firmly on the slope and twist your waist. The power concentrated in one place is gathered into the shoulders and transmitted to the opponent.
This technology is called Cheolsango.
Qua-ang!
Yong Dae-hun flew several meters away with a loud impact sound.
“Whoa…”
I stood still and caught my breath. But my expression probably didn’t look very good.
Because Yong Dae-hoon was finer than I thought.
“…It’s pretty strong.”
He walked towards me, wiping the blood from his lips.
The shield was a little dented, but that was it. Yong Dae-hun was not seriously injured and did not appear tired.
This bastard. Physical durability is no joke.
“Mr. landlord. “Did you learn any martial arts before awakening?”
I took my stance again without saying a word.
I wanted to end it quickly like I did with Hwan Jang-hyuk.
I tried to preserve my stamina as much as possible and hide my skills until the last test.
Yong Dae-Hoon’s defense was too excellent for that.
A tank-type superhuman who uses a sword and shield.
I felt like I knew why this kid came out as the second test opponent.
“You look like a snotty old man.”
When I turned my head to look at Baek Chang-su, he was watching me happily.
Cut out all the resources here, right?
“I will go first this time.”
The initial good impression disappeared and Yong Dae-hoon, with a stern expression on his face, rushed forward with his shield in front of him.
Qua-ang!
The rock behind me shattered.
After a while, Yong Dae-hun walked out from the rocky remains. The guy said, bending his neck from side to side.
“If all you’ve shown so far is all you’ve shown, you can’t beat me.”
It was frustrating, but it was true.
Even though I trained for a few days, my body is still weak.
The horsepower is far below its prime.
It is difficult to beat Yong Dae-hun in this current state.
A bitter smile appeared on Yong Dae-hun’s lips.
“I will ask the CEO to put you on my team. “I think we’ll be good partners.”
I said, barely able to suppress my anger.
“Whose will it be?”
“It’s the heart of the person who wins. “Is that right, CEO?”
Baek Chang-su, who was listening from afar, nodded.
“great.”
I didn’t want to be on the same team as this guy.
They pretend to be good and just on the outside, but behind the scenes they are peeling pumpkin seeds.
You never know when you might get stabbed while on the same team.
I shouted and asked Baek Chang-su.
“CEO. So what will you do if I win?”
“That won’t happen.”
I ignored Yong Dae-hun and stared at Baek Chang-soo.
Baek Chang-soo looked at me intently and said.
“What do you want?”
“If I win, you will give me the team leader position.”
The people around me were more upset by my request than Baek Chang-soo.
“what??”
“What nonsense…!”
“It’s not possible!”
Most of the voices were in opposition, but Baek Chang-soo looked at me with his arms crossed as if he was amused.
That somehow seemed like a possibility.
I spoke quickly.
“If I win, let me have a new team. “I will personally recruit team members and perform tasks autonomously.”
“…….”
This was originally a story to be told much later.
This is a story that should have been told after receiving a certain level of recognition from the guild.
But it still didn’t seem like bad timing.
My ambition may seem excessive, but
the Baek Chang-soo I know liked that type of person, not disliked them.
Sigh.
As expected, a smile formed on Baek Chang-soo’s lips.
“great. “If you beat Team Leader Yong, we will create 7 new teams.”
Voices of concern were heard from all directions, but Baek Chang-soo did not change his words.
“but.”
However, I didn’t just accept him like a brat.
“If the landlord loses, we will cut the down payment in half and double the contract period. How is it?”
That’s the kind of deal you make in this situation.
I smiled and nodded.
“I accept it.”
The deal is over. Yong Dae-hun, who had been standing like a stone until then, frowned and said.
“Mr. Landlord. “Do you really think you can beat me?”
To say the obvious.
Because I know your weaknesses that no one else knows.
I sent a message to Yong Dae-hun.
-Do you like Baek Young-hee? That’s why you want to crush me and show off, you bastard. And do you not know that they are trying to make fun of you by putting you on your team? –
“What are you talking about?”
There are more than one man in White House who adores Baek Young-hee, but Yong Dae-hoon’s was to that extent.
To put it mildly, he had Baek Young-hee’s photo plastered all over his room.
He was later photographed by a gossip magazine reporter, suffered all kinds of embarrassment, and was expelled from the guild.
-I heard you plastered your room with pictures of Baek Young-hee? Pervert.-
“Who would frame something like that!”
Yong Dae-hun’s expression turned bright red with embarrassment and anger.
He, who didn’t know the whole story, looked very embarrassed because he didn’t know what trick I had done.
– Baek Young-hee doesn’t know that, right? What would you say if you found out…. –
Yong Dae-hoon finally lost his temper.
“shut up-!!”
Yong Dae-hun’s skin turned red and his veins began to protrude.
It was a way to increase physical abilities by maximizing mana.
That image is an angry bull.
-Whoa. Don’t get too excited. She’s watching.-
“I told you to shut up!”
Yong Dae-hun immediately charged at me. It was the fastest and most destructive thing I’ve ever seen.
I didn’t avoid him.
I raised my mana according to the structure of the Great Deep Sword, and at the same time, I thought of the most destructive fighting method I know.
I only learned to eat herbivores with difficulty, but that was enough. A small
thunderbolt
flew out from his outstretched fist.
“It would be best to block it with a shield.”
Yong Dae-hun raised his shield, perhaps because of my warning or because he sensed an instinctive crisis signal.
Because it’s too late to avoid it.
My fist exploded on top of it.
P-uh-uh-uh!
Yong Dae-hun’s figure flew out of the forest.
dump.
And I collapsed on the floor.
For a moment, the world looked yellow, perhaps because most of the mana had been squeezed out.
“Hi, it’s hard to make money.”
